Board 8 > Fire Emblem Heroes Discussion Topic Part 10: The Black Knight Approacheth

(+) Yeah! (+)

I put the image into paint, reduce its size by 50%, and then upload it. It doesn't take long!
---

Also, on the subject of Arena woes, I'm really feeling the bonus unit burn this time around. Only usable unit I have is a Catria and she just doesn't cut it most of the time.
---

Yeah this season's bonus units are pretty lackluster if you don't have one of the dancers.
---

They didnt do a damn thing about those shitty maps with the update, did they?

If i had known the bonus multiplier was going to gradually go up, I definitely would have saved my flags. I will probably be knocked out of top 1k :(
---

Anyone who hopped on Team Fae is going to be absolutely rolling in feathers when the Gauntlet ends. Out of the 40+ hours her match will go on, she's projected to have 5 non-bonus hours.

The bonus multiplier went up over time last gauntlet as well.
---

Went from Rank 83(Y.Tiki) and total rank 2329 to....

257(Y.Tiki) and total rank 2879

That's way less than I would have guessed. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who ran low on flags.(I have SOME left but I'll probably drop 200 more on the last bonus)
---

I'm rank 830 on CorrinF right now, having burnt all my feathers. Just need to hope for no more bonuses and I might squeak it?
---

Gauntlet Tracker suggests F.Corrin will get one last bonus at 6 pm. Though with the adjusted way bonuses are activated, take it with a grain of salt.
---

Yeah the bonus multiplier going up was known. They even directly gave us the formula in the infodump-- it's 3.1x + number of hours that have passed * 0.1

The only thing that would catch people is how common bonus hours were going to be relative to previous gauntlets. Like I dropped 400 flags on like a 4.5x hour for Adult Tiki that was occurring when I woke up. Had I known she was basically going to be in constant bonus mode I would've saved them all.

Also how exactly do you make imgur posts less huge? It's always that size when I post something, but normal size when someone else does it.

Imgur allows you to pick from a few sizes when you view your image, and the url it gives changes upon selection
---

So the answer is I should get an Imgur account then

Cause I'll tell you that option doesn't exist when I upload things
---

I'm tempted to just delete any red leads on my friendslist right now.

That's the 4th-5th time I've lost by having 3 reds fight TA blues.
---

Current Gauntlet predix are looking like:

Young Tiki > Male Corrin by a lot (she'll get a bonus in the last hour)
Ninian > Fae (Fae is going to get bonus hours for the entire rest of the day but Ninian is too much stronger for her to catch up in time)
Adult Tiki > Nowi (by a little, this could easily change)
Sophia > Female Corrin (barely, Sophia is going to get a million bonus hours that will push her over the edge)

The naturally stronger characters are Young Tiki, Ninian, Nowi, and Female Corrin.

How aggressively do you guys break walls? I feel like the recurring theme with the "difficult" maps is that there are breakable walls. Maybe there's a difference in our approach to those types of maps-- I tend to mash all the walls on my side asap and keep back, let the enemy spread themselves out rather than trying to bait the attack as soon as I can. With MSG's map sometimes against horse emblem I leave the center wall up to try and send horses to the side lanes.

Depends on the map. I definitely prefer to let the enemy team break as many walls as possible so I can put them in a weird position, but I also like to clear come of the blocks directly in front of me so I'm able to capitalize on baiting.

With the map MSG posted I try to lead them into the side lanes. This does not work nearly as often as I'd like it too!

(she'll get a bonus in the last hour)

Lol nice, thanks for telling me this update. I would have burned my flags this next hour otherwise.

Saving it for when I need them during a bonus. But it's still annoying knowing I missed out on at least 440 points because of triple reds.

Don't you just use a level one lead in the gauntlet? I autobattle it with the level 40 friend's character

Just look at this. It changes often though so I claim no responsibility for your lost points!
---

Yeah but I like using the unit I'm repping if I have them. My Y.Tiki is level 40 so....

But yeah, think I'm gonna switch to a level 1 for the last hour. Just to avoid getting screwed.

Hrm... how much less points would that be though?
---

10 percent more when you use the character.

That's why I picked Sophia. Unpopular character I have at 3* untouched
---

I forget - how many flags do we get per round? Is it always 1500?
---

Yes, that's what it has been in the past. Plus 10 for the login bonuses to be exact
---

Bleh, apparently Y.Tiki isn't getting her last hour bonus now?

Eh, I'm still high enough in the rankings to do well, but I was still hoping to drop 200 more flags.
---

i mean its like a difference of 800 feathers or whatever. big whoop
---

Alright Tikis we just need to hold back a bit this hour then we Spirit Bomb Nowi into oblivion next
---

Fae is going to beat Ninian. Mario Karting at its finest.

Nooo

I fucked up on this gauntlet. If Sophia loses, who would the next big loser be? It's much harder to tell.

Also, whatever happened to AA defense? Has that actually been implemented?

Um? Ninian is ahead going into the final hour and there's no boost for Fae.
---

Round 1 ranking

Score = 783,278
Y.Tiki Army Rank = 710
Total Rank = 12,213

Don't know what happened that caused things to go from "Y.Tiki is getting a bonus in the final hour" to being behind M.Corrin in the final hour.
---

At the time I posted it, Fae was due for another bonus hour at the very end. She flew too close to the sun...!
---

Army rank doesn't update till the hour rolls over DYL so that's probably not gonna stick
---

Yeah I know, just posting that so I can see what changed in about 10 minutes.
---

577.

Y.Tiki still robbed.
---

welp, only sleeping 4 hours a night caught up to me there at a bad time. missed the last 3 hours and was only able to spend 700 flags. knew i should have started spending them sooner. at least i still barely finished in the top 10k.
---

Rank 288

Better Tiki lives on
---

I'll probably join Adult Tiki next round. Don't really feel like using my lv 40 Ninian when I can cheese level 1 with adult TIki. Plus, you know, it's still Tiki. :)

Switched my lead to Nino so she can take out any blues for my friends supporting her. If there is justice in this world, both Corrins will be eliminated round 2. If not.... well... at least feathers?

Nendoroid Sakura

That's just adorable.
---

...

I.... don't normally buy figurines.

But damn if that isn't tempting me.
---

It'd only be worth it if you're also willing to get Elise tbqh.
---

Elise was the one I was talking about. But Sakura is adorable as well.

Of course this probably costs way too much for me to afford to spend right now. >_>
---

Wow, YTiki lost, and MCorrin actually won...
---

I guess team M. Corrin is it for me.

That Elise is pretty nice, but would run you about 60 bucks.
---

Round 1 score 783,272

Army Rank 577
Total Tank 11,1718

Now let's see me get like 1.3k feathers in round 2 again. >_>
---

Round 1 score : 1112308
Rank in army : 167
---

The new Bound Hero Battle is the easiest HB yet.

(...granted, I used Brave Lyn, but still)
---

welp i'm up to 3 Inigos now, still no Olivia or Azura. at least i got a spare Kagero in case i ever get Olivia.

now i'm not sure which one to merge into; +spd -def is normally perfect for mages, but maybe not with the raven/adept build. my others are +res -HP and +def -atk.
---

Inigo's the best one so nothing wrong with that
---

Nah, Azura best.

How the fuck did MCorr win when hes getting destroyed this badly. Its like Sophias situation, but 10x worse.

M Corrin was winning this morning until Ninian just went up a few million points

same thing with Fae last round
---

Gauntlet voting system is volatile as fuck.

If only our character battles were like that...
