Board 8 > Fire Emblem Heroes Discussion Topic Part 19: All Hail The Demon King

(+) Yeah! (+)

I still have more fury and desperation than I care to use-- if nothing else in this game I have good luck with fodder units I suppose.
---

I pulled for one last time on the legendary banner, and got a -Spd Ryoma. I got three units on this banner, and all three of them rely on good speed and they were all -Spd.
---

I think I've been fairly lucky with pulling both of them. But I have like 1200 orbs in the bank now so there is some fodder I'm pretty low on
---

Silhouettes are here for the next seasonal


---

People seem to think that's Ryoma and Xander.
---

This is exactly what I need.

A seasonal banner that isn't even remotely tempting to me.

Unless they slip Elise in there in which case rip
---

What seasonal theme would it even be this time?
---

It looks like a yukata and hot spring theme. So stuff like this:

You know I thought seasonals were supposed to be one per season. Not one per month.

Yeah, buuuut

https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/fire-emblem-heroes-revenue-1202892150/

Players spent more than $23 million in the game worldwide during June, its second highest earning month since launch and its momentum doesnt appear to be waning in the slightest.

---

I think this game is the type of game that could crumble pretty abruptly if they get lazy with appealing to the actual Fire Emblem fans and not keeping exclusive to the low hanging fruit of dress up waifu simulator fans but yeah sure keep churning out seasonals whatever
---

Last year they started bumping up stat totals in the middle of October. At this point I'm actually hoping against characters I like showing up on banners in case they bump up stat totals again. It sucks when a character comes out just before being able to take advantage of their long absence like how Micaiah was on the banner just before the CYL2 vote. She could have gotten the Leif bonus as well.
---

Fucking Sharena's army caught up like no other that it feels unfair and borderline cheating. Anna's army was doing so well and then it all went to shit. Ughhh all three of my armies did so poorly
---

bloodbath in the last round. i was barely able to spend all my lances before there was literally no place left to battle because the entire map is filled with knockouts. the other teams can't battle either, and it ended 11-11-8 with my team as one of the 11s. and barely got in the top 10 again. never got top 3, but i'm happy with three top 10s.
---

Heroes with Fighter Skills

Is this bait?

Also wow, got murdered in the final round(5 territories so only 2700 feathers)

But I was rank 7 overall so I got an extra 2500 feathers for being within 4-10

I can live with that.
---

My map was also filled with knockouts at the end. We had seven territories and poor Anna only had one. I finished top ten.
---

I got top 30 top 1 top 30

Probably could've got top 3 every time if I had the time and desire to Warp Infernal+ every match but it takes a decent slice of real time to do it so I need to have nothing better to do.

Took a few draws on the fighter skills banner cause blue and a ton showed up on the free pull. Of course I get Effie what luck lol. +HP -Atk I'm tempted to 5* one with better nature just out of principle even though I'm not really a fan
---

got two Titanias with the free rolls. still haven't decided for sure which green i want to merge, but if i go with her that's +6 that i can do now.
---

Yeah, this all sounds like Day 6 of Grand Conquest alright. Luckily my team was awake in the final round and we finished on 21 territories, which I think is the best I've done.

This is a cursed post. ;_; Mid-October stat bump confirmed.

Most hype part of this banner is Elincia with good art.

Wait, really? Where'd you find out?
---

It's not official. They just released a Micaiah alt after I said I wanted them to wait until after they potentially bump stats again. I'm sure this means that will follow through on the other half and bump stats up.

This is definitely the highlight for me here too

---

man they really hate daggers.

It also cancels their Vantage, so you know, swings and roundabouts.
---

Yeah overall I think cancelling their vantage is more useful than cancelling desperation is harmful but *shrug
---

My read of the ability was that it cancelled stuff like Quick Riposte as well, does it not?
---

No. It's the same as Hardy Bearing. It only cancels Vantage and Desperation.
---

Oh. Yeah that's pretty questionable then. Vantage isn't seen *that* much and fast dagger users benefit heavily from Desperation.
---

To drop 15 orbs or to not drop 15 orbs, hrm...
---

Something to watch out for is if they also rerun the Performing Arts 2017 banner. If they don't, we might still be getting a Performing Arts 2018 banner.
---

A lot of dragons aren't even that slow so doubling them isn't guaranteed. And then you also have to have be low enough health for it to proc.

I dunno maybe it's just my playstyle but I feel like vantage on dragons potentially screws me more often than them being able to counter me between a double hit, even if most are running quick riposte. Not what I'd call a dagger hating moment in any case it's just a choice.

No chance this isn't Performing Arts 2018

How many seasonal dancers do you want I mean really

You know the community wants any and all of them. Making this an all-dancer banner after we just got Olivia is quite distasteful

I really want Elincia and Micaiah >___<

Non-moeblob Elincia is too tempting. Isn't CYL2 also on 8/10?
---

The update is up in the app store. It now displays your actual orbs when you go over 1000.
---

Dancer Micaiah vs Standard Micaiah:
-2 HP, -1 Atk, -1 Res, -8 Spd

If you factor in the +3 Atk and +3 Res from their weapons:
-2 HP, +2 Atk, -4 Res, -8 Spd

I think that's pretty much as much as I could have hoped for out of a ranged dancer's stat total. She has enough attack power to dish out OHKOs with her weapon.
---

Man...

For dunking on green mages, Fjorm sure seems squishy against actual fucking red swords if 11-5 Lunatic means anything.

Even without the Cancel Affinity gimmick being in play, she needed buffs just to avoid getting one rounded by Laevatein. Then on the final turn she almost couldn't even do enough damage to finish off Laegjarn. I guess that is what happens when your attack is lower than PA!Azura's... Hell, even unbuffed Lloyd has higher base attack, even if he wasn't merged to +2 >_>
---

Wtf, I just got my fifth off banner Brave Lucina doing my free summon today. This game really likes throwing Lucinas at my face. Could have at least given me that new Bow Lucina instead!
---

I don't think she's in the standard pool so maybe it couldn't have.
---

Yeah Legendary Heroes only have a chance to be pulled on the banner they're on.

Of course they're constantly blocked by two other units...

Her innate Atk/Def Bond patches up her Atk stat nicely. I like her with Close Def to complete her mastery over such matchups though (as well as shredding non-green dragons).

Lunatic Laevatein has really juiced stats (especially if she receives stat buffs) so is a threat to many blues in a way than most other content isn't capable of.

Damn, the min-maxing is real. That's ridiculously good for a dancer. My OG Micaiah is +Spd/-Def (31 Speed) and I don't think her speed has ever been a relevant stat to any combat she's taken part in, let alone her boon making a difference. She's a one-shot-or-naught type of hero.
---

So we finally get two slow-as-hell dancers. Seeing that -8 Spd for Dancer Micaiah stung, and why does her nose still look weird ;(

With Spd buffs, she gets to respectable Spd and can avoid some doubles. I just love her monstrous Res and how she is good against so many types of enemies
