Fire Emblem Heroes Topic: You knew this was coming!

[Dark Holy Elf]

I had a similar experience giving Reposition to Eirika (movement skills so good) letting me get a zero-death run with my highest-rating team (Lyn, Eirika, Sheena, and Olwen for the bonus). Moving Olwen to safety after she assassinates someone or moving Sheena somewhere she can be relevant are both pretty great options, made a huge difference. On a related note I love the move towards Vantage Takumi on defence teams since Olwen gives no shits and one-shots him anyway.

Seliph is bad.

Swap and Reposition are incredible. Swap on Lucina let me just drop Olivia off the team completely for some more BST/sheer offense because the main goal was to make sure Nino didn't stay exposed, and Lucina's enough of a bulwark for that.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Yeah, and I would add Draw Back to the list as well honestly. Depends what you're trying to do as always but being able to attack then move someone to a different square opens up so many possibilities if your goal is to have no deaths. (And both high-end arena and the recent set of training tower missions are all about that.)

[Grefter]

Movement is always going to be king in a game where positioning is so key. In one where an extra square of movement is at minimum a 33% increase in how far you can move and most (?) of the options open up movement of someone else after they have acted?   Yeah I was expecting movement skills were kind of mandatory transfers for top tier play.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Speaking of movement being king... I am working (successfully in most cases) on defeating 10th stratum with infantry, cavalry, and flier teams. I also defeated Lunatic Blazing Noblemen with four armour. However I have thus far been totally unable to win with my four-armour team in 10th stratum, the movement is just so awful. The inability to so much as swap positions is killer in a game all about finding winning matchups for each of your units.

Not sure how much I want to use them longterm, but I think I will really need to give them some of Pivot, Swap, Wings of Mercy, and/or Escape Route to them. Fortunately Swap is easily available via both Stahl and Subaki (who exist from the daily hero rotation, twice potentially) so I shouldn't feel too bad about burning through some of those at least.

[Captain K]

I'm almost done with 10th stratum Cavalry.  Armor and Fliers probably aren't going to happen.  I have some decent fliers but not a single one is leveled.  Leveling armors is incredibly painful.

[Laggy]

Friendly reminder that Light's Blessing works for those Tenth Stratum quests and the new Lunatic quests that came out. Trading those for Orbs is a worthwhile endeavor if you don't have a team composition good enough to handle it.

Speaking of those Lunatic quests, there's already a series of videos showing a jp player who beat every Ch9 quest (the ones that require no losses) using only free 3* units with no skill inheritance. (They tend to involve super abusing AI movement/positioning and Subaki being a crazy tank.)

[Dark Holy Elf]

Imagine using Light's Blessings like a filthy casual.

Infantry quest is done, I'm confident the flier/cavalry will fall soon enough (especially cavalry). Armour now seems doable after inheriting Swap but my win% is still low.

Doing it right Elves.

60 orbs on Eliwood banner.  Only got a 5-star Young Tiki.  +spd -hp, but doesn't fit with the team I'm building up.  Also wow is her base skillset bad.  She is so glad skill inheritance is a thing.

[Lord Ephraim]

Trying to snipe green orbs for Minerva got me my FOURTH 5* Hawkeye.

That could have been four Minervas, four Hectors, four Faes.  Nope, four Hawkeyes.

[Meiousei]

Hm. Green orbs huh? I do have a good amount of orbs saved up. I could try for her or Hector. Meanwhile, Michalis made into a complete joke by my Ephraim and Julia.

Addeneum: I tried the green orb madness with the 30 saved orbs I had. Game gave me red orbs and  Eliwood with -HP, +DEF. I don't know how to feel.

[Shale]

Threw a full summon at each banner, got Priscilla from the Blazing Blade set and no 5*s but two Moonbow carriers from Michalis'.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Lunatic Michalis down. I actually beat him on the first try using only three units (a fourth was deployed but never saw use): 5* Eirika with Reposition and Triangle Adept, 4* Nino, 5* Klein.

Eirika charges up Nino as usual, allowing her to ORKO the lancer on the left. Then, Eirika repositions Nino behind her, leaving Eirika in Michalis' range; she tanks him easily. Nino then kills Michalis, barely doubling him (34 base + 4 from Eirika against Michalis' 27+6) and hitting his bad res. Eirika retreats again, pulling Nino behind her, so that nobody is in range of the fliers. Next turn, Klein kills one flier and I kite the other, then repeat with Eirika taking a hit from the sword cav.


I'm gonna break down and promote Draug since my armour team keeps getting owned by tanky axemen.

[Captain K]

Don't think I can beat Lunatic Michalis.  I can kill Michalis himself easily enough and most of the other enemies.  But the red flier with Drag Back is so hard to get to and he just wears down someone until he kills them.

One last pull on Eliwood banner got me... Minerva.  +def, -attack which wouldn't be too terrible since she has a high natural defense.  But she has Life and Death.  Sigh.

[Lord Ephraim]

Ignore this unless you are Nitori or Laggy

[Laggy]

You promised me four Hawkeyes you heathen

Did you tell me you sacrificed glorious 5* Hawkeye on the altar of Death Blow inheritance

[Lord Ephraim]

Raven has one killer axe+, Reinhardt ate one for death blow 3, Cherche ate the third one for death blow 3 as well.

[Meiousei]

so Bunny Xander comes out before real Xander. Never had I wanted such a manly man (aside from Hector) which means I wont get him. Then again GudaGuda2 and CCC is coming in FGO. oh noooooooooooo.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Kinda regretting all orbs spent before this. Literally four of my favourite characters and bunny Xander looks fucking fabulous. Also, finally flying mage too late to help with the current quests.

[Luther Lansfeld]

holy fuck god truly exists

[Meiousei]

I only care about Bunny Lucina and Bunny Xander. More I say...more. EVERYTHING MUST BE BUNNIES as Panne and Yarne cy off in a corner ;_;

[Dark Holy Elf]

Anyway, 60/60 on the 10th stratum training tower quests! That was pretty rough. Just need to beat Veronica with an axe user and no deaths.

[Shale]

Did a rando full summon on the blazing banner last night, got Eirika, still regret it now. This is beautiful and perfect.

[VySaika]

wait what's this about bunny characters?
