Board 8 > Fire Emblem Heroes Discussion Topic Part 17: Taking the fight to Múspell

(+) Yeah! (+)

Lol, I lost Julius infernal map because the Pain+ Healer attacked Azura, and the aoe hit Fjorm who was weakened JUST enough for a sword to finish her off (3x2 when Fjorm was knocked to 6 hp).

But second round I managed to do it without too much trouble. Wasn't expecting it to be that simple.
---

Also I wish I knew what the new score ranges are.

I have 3526. Not sure if that gets me back into T20.

With 7 wins, if I got two 700+ scores that'd be 4926 which would certainly get me there but with bonus units being super strong now *shrug*.

Ah well, full rewards this week so it's all good.
---

yeah i was just thinking about what i need to get back to t20. a lot of people who normally alternate from 19 to 20 weren't able to make it back last week, so just to be safe i'm gonna aim for 3550. i've got 600 crests, may as well use them.
---

oh, found a spreadsheet that's tracking it. apparently you're gonna need a bit more than what you got because it was 3532 last time (probably higher this week with last week being neither water nor earth)

---

Ah.

Eh, I probably can't be bothered. I don't really hunt for score(Otherwise I'd never accept <700 matches). I'll see if I'm randomly in the mood to improve my score.
---

Free summon Eirika, nice. Only one more to go

This, except I'd prefer other alternatives to Roy but what can you do? Beggars looking for a decent +10 can't be choosers.
---

i don't really see it as a bother for regular arena. there's daily quests to do it and it only takes a few seconds to find a better score. and it's generally not hard to win the matches once i find them.

now AA i don't bother fishing for scores. because you can't really; at best you can start over for the best possible score in the first match but after that you just have to accept what the game gives you for the next 6. plus i'm a lot more prone to dying there.

Horse + dancer cancer will always be the best strat for maximizing defense wins. All it takes is one fight on that stupid boat where you literally have nothing you can do to prevent a death. Armor is the best player-controlled class but they AI isn't great with them you can initiate or bait them on your own terms much more easily than versus horses.

I've been using armors for a long time since it was recommended previously, and Def Tactic is really nice, but I'll definitely give this a try. Need to figure out my picks since dancer and bonus means only two horses, and while Lyn and Rein are the go-to's, Rein doesn't have Hone Cav to boost Lyn
---

oboro is great but she kinda has to be +10 with ideal IVs to be even remotely good
---

I think Oboro has a pretty decent stat spread actually. She's not one of the top tier of the initial batch but she's far from Odin either. I think a 5* Oboro would be good enough to be usable she's just kinda skill inheritance heavy.
---

Oboro seems pretty mediocre to me (remixed Ephraim without Siegmund, which is... not a good place to be) but I feel that way about most units with a bad spd/res combo, she's a defensive character who can't defend against mages or dragons. She's not so bad that you can't use her though.

Odin's somewhat underrated (Tactics have quietly helped out infantry blademages; he can get his atk into the high 50's with a well-built Eirika at his side) but still not good.
---

I think she can defend against mages and dragons. Her RES isn't that low. Also she has a superboon in it if you go that way.

If I build her I'm considering +RES/-SPD with Berkut's Lance and have her with a very respectable 35 on both stats on defense at base before even considering the weapon refinery stat boost or merges.

+ATK/-SPD is also good though as that puts her attack at a pretty decent 35 base. With Quick Riposte and her decent starting HP she should be able to survive being doubled by a lot of things and kill on the attack back. There are armors that can probably do this better but yeah I actually kinda like her stat line all things considered.
---

Seasonal teaser is up.

And now to pray none of the new units are someone I want badly.
---

the one on the right looks kinda like Nino. or maybe Maria, Est, or Amelia. some short-haired loli.
---

RIP my fucking orbs if Nino gets a seasonal now.
---

I'm currently watching Amagaitaro's Twitter to see if he retweets the silhouettes. If he does, it could mean that Nino or Amelia is on the banner. He retweeted the silhouettes for Spring Catria's release.
---

here comes bridal anna to fulfill the prophecy
---

Amagaitaro retweeted the silhouettes but I just realized that I have no idea if he does that for every silhouette image or not. >_>

RIP
---

i liked nino alot as a kid, but amelia please no
---

Amelia would be interesting because she might get the Trainee stat boost and have a Myrrh level BST. If she is a melee armor again, she'll have the highest BST in the game.
---

i was curious so i checked amagaitaro's twitter and... my god. he spams twitter so much it'd be impossible to check even as far back as February to see if he retweeted the teaser for Love Abounds. and it also makes me feel pretty sure that he did <_<
---

I know he retweeted the Spring silhouettes since that's where I got the idea from. However, I don't know if he retweeted the older ones as well. From what I can see from his Twitter he does sometimes retweet Fire Emblem Heroes stuff so a retweet probably doesn't mean much.

Please no child brides.

Please no child brides.

---

Nino doesn't really make sense. Too tall. Unless they're both kids.
---

Person on the left is likely Ninian since she has very similar triangle hair ornaments. Nino is a little shorter than Ninian and the person on the right looks a little shorter than the person on the left. Also we can't see their feet so there's some leeway on height comparisons.
---

Ninian was my first thought for the one on the left too.

We're all assuming it's another bride banner, right? I'm holding out hope they'll do something else.
---

i can't imagine it's anything else. there's a bouquet on the left. and every seasonal banner that has had a man on it has had one in the silhouette, so i expect all brides again.
---

Was Alfonse on the spring silhouette? I don't remember that one. But yeah, probably all brides again
---

I don't remember.

Though Chrom was on the first spring one.

Ninian is in it as predicted. A flying dancer so.... get ready for more arena cancer.

Little girl is Sanaki "The dress is just for the festival, don't get any weird ideas."

Tharja gets another alt.

And... that's it? Only 3?

Huh.
---

We also got a groom after all.
---

Oh and GROOM MARTH AS THE TEMPEST TRIAL REWARD!

*Ahem*

I'll probably drop 15 orbs on this banner and be done with it. I'm glad there's no unit I'd desperately want.

Thankfully the little girl of this banner looks more like a flower girl than someone actually potentially getting married.
---

I think I'll just stick to my OG Tharja, though at least this alt doesn't look super dumb like the Christmas one.

Although with this game's powercreep I bet a single copy of this one is stronger than the original merged +7
---

Ninian looks like the Mememe girl. i kinda want her now <_<
---

This Tharja looks a lot better than the silly Christmas one. I don't really need a red infantry mage, but I kinda want her.

Ninian also looks pretty good, and a flying dancer is always useful
---

They apparently decided to go with PoR Sanaki who is 10 instead of 13.
---

Maybe they'll pass her off as a flower girl?
---

Sanaki seems like a weird choice. Is she really that popular? It's just odd that she was the first PoR/RD unit in Heroes (even before Ike or Micaiah) and now she's getting an alt too. Maybe Japan loves her or something?
---

I think plotwise she is just cosplaying as a bride and not actually getting married but I'm not sure if people will really be happy with that excuse.
---

holy shit ninian looks absolutely awful
---

Sanaki isn't top tier in popularity or anything but she still beat Shigure in both CYLs. I think that still makes her the second least popular character to get a variant.
---

Ninian looks derpy and hilarious.

Original Ninian actually has good art so I'm okay with that.
---

i dont spend hard earned orbs on bad art otherwise i'd be all over ninian (as well as ursula and matthew)
---

Man are you saying the standard dragon Ninian has bad art too?
---

no regular ninian is fine but this bridal ninian looks like she just got off the short bus
---

I definitely agree this one has stupid art. It's stupid in a fun way though that I like more than pretty much all bad art. I wouldn't particularly mind getting her though I won't draw for her either. I actually hate the idea that they made a FLYING DANCER MAGE a lot more than her art.

I'd definitely be more mad about it if normal Ninian's art was bad. Not that I'm even a particular fan of Ninian (I like Ninian a lot more in this game than I ever did in FE7 because of her good art/VA) but every character should have one good art.
---

so after seeing this, spent all my orbs going for Ishtar... and just got a bunch of Reinhardts lol. granted, i didn't have too many orbs. 1 unit away from a 4% pity rate.

i did at least get my first Athena finally, so maybe i'll +10 Olivia instead of Marth for now. i do have like, 420k feathers.
