Board 8 > Fire Emblem Heroes Discussion Topic Part 20: Arrival of the Brave

(+) Yeah! (+)

what? blue has the MOST merge potential; two dragons and two armors while the other colors only have one each. blue also has the best 4* blade tome user, L'Arachel, since she can get that +30.

i guess what you meant is that you don't like the 3-4* blue pool much.
---

Merged Robin M seems solid if you must have a blue tome. I have a +10 on my list that does work in Rival Domains.

I'm tossing around L'Arachel, Tailtiu and Odin for a merged blue tome but I need to draw L'Arachel to merge her, Odin is Odin, and while Tailtiu seems possibly decent I can't honestly say I have any attachment for her beyond thinking her design is cute so she'd be way down the line of priorities.
---

Yeah, I mean that I don't like the options much. L'Arachel, Cordelia, and maybe Lukas are the ones I would consider. And I have only two or three copies of L'Arachel so that's not even on the table. I do have a nice +Spd -Def L'Arachel if I can manage to pull more
---

i somehow have a ton of Tailtiu's. i could actually +10 her right now if i wanted (and that's after foddering a few off for drive spd). too bad L'Arachel is sitting at only +1.
---

I oddly don't get that many Ninos. More or less for the best since she's already +10 so any future ones are Bladetome+ fodder. Now if only Cecelia would get the memo....

I'm honestly in a "I don't know who to merge" scenario atm since no one is quite at 10 spares atm.

Well there's Hana, but eh.... I have like 6-7 Soleils as well. Considering Chrom as well.
---

I have three L'Arachel now, but it's hard to justify merging her when Reindaddy exists. MRobin was the first guy I upgraded to 5* and to this day, he is still very versatile and reliable. I definitely plan on merging him once I'm done with Cordelia. Would his best IV's be neutral, +Atk/-Spd, or +Def/-Spd?

I've just been merging up a bunch of units I want to eventually +10 while I wait. Merges units get pretty strong well before +10 so it's not an all or nothing thing

I have

+8 Soren
+8 Tharja
+6 Selena

Right now as the main ones I'm building up. Keep in mind I only merge 4* bases aside from getting the perfect nature cause I'm patient ans it's not worth the 2000 feather cost imo.
---

Oh yeah, it's just that I don't want to run out of feathers chasing after like 5 different mini projects all at once.
---

Pulled hector..feels good man
---

20 orbs and 5100 feathers in the inbox today. Feels good.
---

Having 300 orbs... feels weird.
---

I wasted hundreds of crests trying to stay in tier 20, only to find out I'm far from the cutoff line. Thanks for getting my hopes up, IS
---

I expect that I will miss the cutoff to stay. Rank 3977 and need to be in the top 4406. I could probably do better burning crests, but I never really do that
---

I tanked to 18 last week cause I didn't wanna even try on Alfonse weeks.
---

I finally found a use for my Saber I forgot I still had that I've been holding onto for I don't know why. Gave HP/Spd 2 to my Veronica. Seemed like it was a nice, flexible A-slot for two stats she needs just a little bit of a boost in.
---

Got a Sigurd (-Atk +Res) off the free batch but more importantly finally drew a good nature Oboro (-Spd +Res) so it's time to commence the long awaited Oboro project
---

i blew all my orbs going for dat +spd Karla. got 3 more that were all +res lol. maybe i'll try to +10 her down the line. so i should probably wait until i get back up to 15 orbs before i do my free pull. which i might then put off until after the legendary banner ends, depending on what's on it.
---

I got Green!Olwen off my free pull for the new banner so that's nice even if I have no interest in her really.

Makes up slightly for my shit luck with CYL2 so far lol

Are you going for her because you really like her? I recall you saying you have a good selection of infantry swords already

Dying for LH banner here
---

she's not exactly a favorite, but amazing art, i like her voice, she's really strong and really good fodder. i figure i can't go wrong; either merge her up or give wrath to a few units.

New Legendary Hero: Marth

Red: Reinhardt, Lene
Blue: Brave Lucina, Nephenee, Fjorm
Green: Gunnthra, Valentine Hector, Easter Alfonse
Colorless: Faye, Easter Kagero, Legendary Grima
---

that's cool. rest of red is trash though, i'll probably wait for another time.
---

Marth is looking pretty good. I probably won't summon much here though
---

Yeah I'm a bit hesitant pulling on red too.

I do need a Reinhardt that isn't trash(Got pitybroke by a -Atk back when I was pulling for Summer Tana) but I'm really not interested in merging horses that aren't named "Gunnthra" or "Veronica" at the moment. Maybe L'Arachel.

Already got a Lene and I'm not all that interested in merging a dancer(Outside of a 4* +10 Olivia). Granted if I had the resources to do so, it would either be Lene or Bridal Ninian.

Blue and Green a bit tempting since I could use merges on Fjorm/Gunnthra(Not that the latter is ever a bonus....) and I don't have the other two units.

Colorless is somewhat tempting since I could use a spare Firesweep Bow and I don't have Legendary Grima.

Probably either dropping 15, or pulling until I run into a 5*. Nothing too exciting, though the new legend looks pretty nice.
---

Also I'd just like to point out...

Binding Shield is both a Dragon Breaker AND a Dragon Sweep. I want to pull just for that skill alone.
---

Nothing that I really want to go after here :/

I plan on going back for another Brave Hector for Bold Fighter fodder. I could make BF HJakob, although it'd be very expensive to build
---

New arena bonus units are here. I'm not sure who I will use since I have most of them. Lute, Celica, and Olwen are the currently built ones
---

I was thinking it would be nice for me to try to get enough copies of a 5* exclusive that I like so I could at least have a +10 to call my own, but I generally like to have enough orbs saved for new OP units or seasonal variants. Right now, I'm going to prioritize another Brave Hector, then I want to go back for Elincia because I love her art and it never hurts to get another dancer for AA, but I was thinking it would be nice to +10 Hector or something. Probably not enough orbs to do that, though
---

I love when a certain color has a "boosted chance", only for another color to show up far more.
---

How is the rest of red trash? Reinhardt's great and even if you hit Lene, she's at least got Safeguard to SI off.
---

who even wants safeguard? all the red tanks have prfs. maybe like Draug or Hinata but there's no way i'm ever building them.

Reinhardt i'll give you, he's decent. but i have him already and never use him. so the red pool is really bad for me, at least.
---

I kinda want Safeguard for Selena but yeah I admit it's a bit of a niche thing to grab. Might do some draws on Red when I'm near % breakpoints anyway while drawing for more Grimas.

Don't quote me on this, but I think it's a boosted chance for affection to drop when you get that color, not a boosted chance to get that color to begin with.
---

i've had at least a passing thought about building Selena and she's basically the only one i might use safeguard on (i don't like a tank with absolutely no res like Ogma, Palla/Seth can't use steady breath so they need slaying to activate a special, Soleil is probably better in a player phase build).

or maybe Olivia, specifically not to kill things but soften them up to feed kills in standard arena. that's actually probably the best use of it.
---

I completed the initial summoning circle and got my first legendary Grima. -Atk +Hp. I hate boons/banes
---

That's not necessarily ideal, but it's definitely usable as a tank.
---

Bleh

100 orbs sunk

2 Faye. Both bad natures (-Atk +HP and -Spd +Res) at that.

At least I have Firesweep Bows to distribute should I want to. I don't actually have any of the good users though unfortunately.
---

I really want a Firesweep Bow, but this isn't the banner to use to go for it. I just took the freebie and went right back to the CYOL Banner.
---

So who even are the good Firesweepers

I know Bride Cordelia is good. Shame mine has a bad nature. Guess Noire could be shame I didn't get a good nature on mine. Brave Lyn I don't want to invest resources into (also bad nature)

I'm noticing a trend here.
---

IV's on Faye shouldn't matter because no one wants to use her. Lyn is definitely the best choice, but you are stubborn :P BCordelia wants Brave Bow, not Firesweep

Abyssal difficulty...... who the fuck even wants to touch that with a non-reward?!

I'm glad they're bringing back past LH battles, but was really hoping we would get quests a la BHB's and GHB's
---

I have both Bride Cordelia and Brave Lyn, and those are exactly the recipients I want Firesweep Bow for.
---

Good luck to anyone trying to beat those Abyssal maps. I'm not even going to try. A dumb accessory is not worth the headache haha.
---

I do have a feeling accessories will have an actual use down the line. They can't possibly be subjecting us to such torture for a non-reward, right....?
---

Bridal Cordelia likes either Firesweep or Brave Bow really. If you want to be particular, +Spd for the former and +Atk for the latter.

The two flying archers are also good users of it if you have them.
---

I have bow Hinoka with +Atk/-Res. Seems kind of a waste of her PRF though.

Unfortunately my Bride Cordelia is -Spd as is my Noire so I can't really use it on them. Well I'll draw a better one of one of them someday, probably.
---

Yeah, my Bridal Cordelia is +Spd -Def. I reeeeally want Firesweep Bow, but I'll find a better way to get it eventually, I'm sure.
---

I also have attack boon Hinoka and her prf is way too good to give up. Firesweep would be more desirable on a unit with a generic weapon or bad prf. I don't really have anyone that fits

There's a bit of a meme build Faye can run with Ivs similar to that.

---

honestly that's the only usable build for Faye (though she'd probably rather have atk or def)
---

Nino's Dance Squad cleared Grima Abyssal after a few attempts. Gonna see how I do against Marth's version later.
