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

(+) Yeah! (+)

Did they already distribute the daily orbs from the trivia quiz? I know they gave out the collective rewards, but I don't recall getting the daily orbs, but they've probably gone out since it's been a while
---

Yeah those were distributed.
---

Only managed two battles total this gauntlet. Couldn't even get up to 5 for orbz.

RIP game
---

Love how I"m facing mid 30 foes because my lv 40 Lilina is only 4*
---

My level 40 Arvis is 5* and I'm still facing mid-late 30s opponents if that makes you feel better!
---

Kenri!

Tell your team to stop playing so we can break this Same Hell :(
---

Or we can just win via attrition.

Maybe I should just save my 1.2k flags and not bother trying to salvage my round 2 score. Not much either team could have done there.
---

Arvis would have gotten a bonus hour next hour if the match kept going. Lilina just barely managed to win the round.
---

I'll be carrying over 2k flags. Same hell has not been kind to me
---

1600 for me. actually i technically only have 1100 now, still have 500 i need to collect.

Hey I did my part (in that I saw the Same Hell and didn't play again all day)

I think left is Camilla.

No clue who the right could be, but it's a Witch costume for sure.
---

17 projected hours of Same Hell and I have over 2k flags on me.

We might not be getting any more bonus hours. Team Lilina has weaker neutral hours but stronger bonus hours than Team Morgan. So typically Team Lilina needs to lose by enough to trigger a bonus hours. However, Team Lilina is loaded with flags and will soon be forced to spend them. This means they will stop losing hours to Team Morgan. However, I think it is too late for Lilina to swing the match hard enough to trigger a bonus hour for Team Morgan.
---

Lilina might win like Shanna, at least.
---

Yeah. Lilina is going to take the lead in a few hours and build it for a bit. After that, it depends on the always chaotic final hours of the round. It wouldn't surprise me if Morgan starting winning hours at the end when her team is finally forced to spend flags. Against Shanna, Takumi finally started to fight back at the very end but the damage was already done.
---

Getting to the point flag hoarders have no choice but to drop flags or waste them(For some this was much earlier)

This sure was.... a VG.
---

Please not another Camilla alt..........

Same hell sums up this VG. So damn boring
---

Looks like I picked a good vote gauntlet to mostly skip.

At least I managed 5 matches in round 2 and 3
---

Looks like Team Lilina is spending enough flags to kick off Morgan bonus next hour, starting the chain. Nicely done
---

I'm just glad we're finally getting bonuses. It would be too boring to end it in Same Hell.

Didn't Shanna vs Takumi end in same hell?

New trailer is out. Three more armored units >_>
---

Boring ass Kagero getting a second alt is extremely upsetting. Bleh. Give Felicia something IS, you hacks.
---

Remember when armored units looked like armor units?

(And yeah I would have preferred Felicia over Kagero)
---

Kagero's a good character but the alt choices on this banner are questionable in general.

Niles - Dude isn't even popular why do we get yet another Fates alt on Niles of all people
Mia - Ugh Mia's VA returns literally any other swordmaster would be preferred
Kagero - She's fine but she really doesn't need another alt
Myrrh - Actually mostly okay with this one but to hell with armored dragons in general

Makes it easy to devote what draws I care to make to last year's banner for Henry anyway.
---

Also Dorcas: Pumpkin Smasher for the TT.

...Did they literally put him in because of Mia? That is a random ass unit to give an alt to.
---

What does Mia have to do with Dorcas
---

I can't believe they didn't recast Mia.
---

IS needs to stop fucking giving Kagero alts and make the OG version better already. I'm sick of this. And WTF at Dorcas getting an alt........... I don't even
---

What does Mia have to do with Dorcas

They both were on the Farfetched Heroes banner.
---

Sounds like a pretty farfetched reason to give them both alts in the same set
---

Mia and Dorcas were introduced together on the farfetched heroes banner? There's nothing else that I can think of.

Mia's voice still hurts. Sucks because I like her well enough, and is the most interesting unit type for me on the banner
---

That's what I"m saying Lopen, I'm trying to figure out why the fuck Dorcas of all people?

Not a complaint, just very confused.
---

Mia is tempting because this one looks a lot better and she has Hone Fliers, but a red armored dragon with AM is pretty damn attractive, too
---

I'm excited for Dorcas....
---

How about you nerds stop playing this dumb game because they dont care about anyone that won't spend for their favorite in an alt costume
---

Game went down the shitter last halloween
---

Dorcas was ranked 185 in CYL2. It's a bit lowish but it's not that crazy. It's only a bit lower than Linde (155), on par with Sanaki (186) and higher than Innes (279). He fell quite a lot from CYL1 (21) but maybe they took it into account anyways.

Mia and Myrrh were both top 20 for characters who are in the game but don't have an alt. Mia is top 10 and Myrrh moves into Top 10 if you exclude characters who weren't in the game when CYL2 voting ended. With that said, Myrrh came out during CYL2 voting.
---

dammit if we were getting farfetched heroes why couldn't we get the two good ones. witch Lute is actually the alt i would want the most for her, too.
---

First VG where I did super well in the final. Had so many flags carried over from round 1 and 2, which allowed it to happen. Rank 237 in army 1779 overall. Made up for round 1

Kinda true actually. That's when the game's armor fetish began. If I were to pinpoint an exact start for the decline I would probably put it around then.

Niles - Dude isn't even popular why do we get yet another Fates alt on Niles of all people

Niles was #32 in CYL1. He was absolutely one of the most popular characters without an alt.
---

this has gotta be my worst VG yet. screwed over by same twice.

2500+500
900
2300+500
1700

total: 8400

... whaaat? Where are these Niles fans. Like seriously I don't think I've ever seen a Niles fan in my life.

I mean I don't dislike him or anything, kinda like him even... not enough to identify as a big fan, but yeah. Where are these people.
---

Free Dorcas is awesome. Care about that way more than anything else on the banner.

The update where Bold/Vengeful Fighter were released was the update that broke the game and it hasn't been fixed since then.
---

"Women" and "People who are big fans of Fates' cast" are major demographics of the Fire Emblem community which are sorely underrepresented on GameFAQs and both are more likely to be Niles fans, is all I can think of to explain it.

I dunno, I like Niles and I've certainly run into others who like him and there's no shortage of fanart for him out there. Dorcas is one who completely blindsided me on the other hand; I cut my teeth in the FE7 fanbase and I'm pretty sure I remember more Bartre fans than Dorcas fans, and I don't remember many of those...
---

Niles was 74th in CYL2 but even that was enough to put him in the Top 5 (6?) Fates characters who don't have an alt.

Odin
Felicia
Kaze
Ophelia
(Charlotte)
Niles

He isn't a random choice at all if you want a Fates character on the banner.
---

I will say Niles probably has more fans than Jakob who was on the last Halloween banner as an armored archer so *shrug

At least Niles had dreadful default art that is helped a bit here.
