Strider Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hello everyone, new to the forum and game but like it so far and would like to get some friendly advice. At this point I have been playing consistently since it came out but didn't re-roll to start because I didn't really think about it or know much about the game. At this point I do have a couple of 4*s(Sakura, Caeda, Henry, Tharja, and Arthur) but no 5*s to speak of. I was wondering if it would be better to just start over and try to get a 5* or just continue onward with what I have and try and upgrade some 4*'s to 5? I also have linked my nintendo acct already so am not sure how that would work with trying to re-roll? Any advice is greatly appreciated Thanks!

Strider Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thank you for posting this Kira! I will see what I can get. Really wish this was pinned like you said but oh well that's how it goes for new players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 That will be pinned over my dead body. FE is a strategy game first and foremost. Part of it is learning how to work with what you've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, you're going to be outclassed by people with deeper pockets than you. I think the arena's okay, but it's still the AI in the end. There might be a case for future PvP, but I'll restate my first sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid for 10 orbs and that was just for supporting the company.If money matters that much in this game i will stop worrying that much and just play casually.Don't get me wrong,i don't see the reroll thing as a way to overcome others,yeah money still does that better than this,i just wanted people that love some heroes (stats or sexy look) at least have a chance of getting them!I am a noob in FE but a huge anime/manga/figure fan so i needed Camilla so bad,just for the looks! :) i was 19k arena rating and now i tried to enter again and the first two enemies were +5 levels than me...

PuffPuff Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Well...I've got my luck with some of the ones that I really wanted. Wanted Beruka more than Camilla. Wanted Arthur more than Bartre. Got Serra, Florina, Sophia, Abel and Clarine now knowing how they sound like. ^_^...And finding out that Elise, Takumi and Linde are 5 star only characters. Guess I won't ever be getting them because the whole packaging will end after the 14th this month. -.- Great game though. Just gotta increase their stars to get them better skills waiting for the 10k feather rewarding deal.

You can't reroll if you have your Account Linked. Also, the chance of Summoning a 5-Star Hero goes up every Stone that doesn't give you a 5-Star Hero until you get one - after like 120-ish you're 100% going to get a 5-Star Hero if your luck is somehow that abysmal. Since you've linked accounts, your best bet is to press on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of it is learning how to work with what you've got. While I can understand this sentiment, 5* characters are so overpowered in this game that they are pretty much required for the tougher campaign missions and arena battles. The gulf between even 4* and 5* is massive. It took me 20(!) summons to finally get a 5* Marth, and he basically solos everything up through Chapter 8 on Hard. I made the mistake of linking my Nintendo account and claiming the orbs on the first day with no 5* in my initial roll. If I had known then what I know now, I definitely would have kept rerolling until I got an acceptable starting roster. I'm curious...how far are you on the campaign? Chapter 9 on Normal was rough for me even with a party full of 4* characters. Zephiel is broken beyond all belief, and so far is my only Phoenix Potion (or whatever) used to revive my team during a campaign chapter. That's not even getting into the ridiculous cost to upgrade characters. 20,000 feathers...what an absurd joke. I have like 1,500, and I finished pretty decently in the Arena "season".

I disagree. 5* are ofcourse better than 4*, but the difference is not as big as most people think it is in my opinion. Team composition is by far the most important thing in this game, not just having 5* units. If you can have both, then great, but the game is very much beatable with 4*'s only. If you really can't do it, give the Tower a try and level up some of your units before trying again. I agree with the feathercost though, 20.000 is a whole lot when you see that actions like 'greeting' gives you around 10-15 feathers a day and sending home a units gives you only 300 feathers. I believe it shouldn't be TOO easy to get 5* units, but 20.000 seems like a bit too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, once in the Arena (on "Intermediate tier lol), a 5* Linde soloed my entire team of 4*s. 42 MAG and 32 SPD at level 20-something...trololol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not level 40, intermediate and especially advanced put you up against players which units are much higher leveled than yours. Also, Linde is known for having high offensive damage, but she's super squishy aside from that. I guess you couldn't get to her, seeing as she killed 4 units and she has no counterattack at 1 range?

Finished Normal, doing a lot of tower grinding because my current team is a little too low-leveled for 8-5 on Hard. Fae needs something like ten more levels, because I absolutely need a green unit that can take a magic hit. Swordie!Corrin's staying, may swap Virion for Gordin once I get the feathers for the latter's promotion, and not sure if I want a healer or Olivia in the last slot. If my team isn't doing enough damage, then I use Raigh instead of Corrin. None of these are 5*, and Gordin/Olivia/Raigh are 3*. I agree that the feather cost is ridiculous. Unless you're aiming for top spots in the arena (which I'd advise against, because those who shelled out more money than I spend on a month's worth of food will occupy those), it shouldn't be an issue.

You guys do know you can use My Nintendo Platinum Coins to buy Dueling Crests and Light's Blessings, right? I just used up a couple hundred PCs for an LB for 8-5.
