Wait do you know someone in the Valentines banner but doesnt know who Tanith and Sigrun are despite they being from the same games?

It's not like sanakis stupid Pegasus knights are particularly memorable characters though, is it? Certainly not compared to the five people who make up what was essentially Ike's family.

Sigrun especially, as she is playable for maybe 5 maps plus the endgame section of RD total over the two tellius games, not that surprising if everyone forget her entirely.

I hope they start adding the regular versions of those alt-firsts characters soon. Charlotte, Noire, Hardin, Greil, Mareeta, and now these four.
I like Pent and Louise, but can't bring myself to spend orbs chasing a seasonal character. At least Louise is free.
I'm honestly okay skipping original Hardin, since that's an unusual case where his alt feels more memorable than his original version.

Yeah? I don't think that's strange considering the Valentines banners have always had a main character in them. I've only played the 3DS Fire Emblems and Warriors but I know Ike, Roy, Lyn, and Hector.

It appears that I will make it up to tier 21 AR this time. I reached the required points and I should be protected from defense loses until reset.
Double Eir, Fir, Corrin-M, and Grima-F made me proud. It's quite impressive because I lost all my defenses but one this week. Each loss was -80 lift but I made up for it with 140-160 lift wins on offense.

I've played the Tellius games--twice, actually--and even I had to struggle to remember who Sigrun and Tanith are. And even then, I haven't remembered much beyond "important knights in begnion under Sanaki's command."

That literally can't be said for anyone on Greil's Devoted.

Same lol, I had to double check which game Tanith was even from.

Man is Arena more of a pain than ever!

Been seeing L!Alm dozens of times now! Dreading him as much as Surtr now lol!

Guess I will have to settle with being demoted again.

And was around 400 lift to reach tier 20 on AR.

I ultimately decided on building a Libra for the upcoming arena season. I like Bartre better, but Libra scores better and I don't wanna take any chances with L!Hector being in rotation as well... So, I dumped some premium fodder on him and my water team has a score ceiling of 758 with this build:

EDIT: Also, he's got a decent enough stat spread for a potential AR tank, so I might end up giving him DC and Null C Disrupt if I ever get serious about Aether Raids.

Besides Awakening & Fates, I've only played Path of Radiance. But I literally don't remember a single char from that game except Ike

that came out 14 years ago, I can't remember crap from that long ago

Made it to T21 in AR. Pretty surprised it happened, as I ended up having to do it with only 1 Eir (because I'm dumb and didn't pull for her) and my defense map is pretty beatable. Got decently lucky with my defense matchups (-200 total) and then +140'd the majority of my offense matches to get to 11,190 by the end. I was thinking the requirements were much tighter to get into T21, but as long as you can stay at -300 defense loss or better for the week, it's fairly doable in light season.

Props to LAzura, Ophelia, Kaden, W!Cecilia, my dude Helbindi, and a couple dragon/armor-killing specialists.

Although tomorrow is gonna be:

Staying in T21 is not too hard. Use the bare minimum Aether every day and you should be able to overcome your lift loss. The beginning is always toughest since you'll be attacking and be attacked by the top players.

Most people have level 5 offense and level 4 defense though so offense just got a tad harder.

I made it to T21 in AR, too. I'll have to fight tooth and nail to stay there. I just upgrades my offense fortress to level 5, too.

Great! About time for Brazen ATK/SPD! Raven could now possibly run his prf w/ eff, fury and Brazen ATK/SPD seal in one combo! With a hint of desperation of course! And whatever crazy shit we can think of! And triple Brazen ATK/SPD on OG!Celica. OVERKILL!


Renewal is cool too. Falchion users will pretty much get a crap ton of HP back! And if can help B!Celica greatly without the aid of Eir.

As for Louise's skills:

Figured she'd get a swift sparrow bow and has reciprocal aid, ATK Speed Bond and Hone Cavalry. So pretty decent skills set. Decent stat line too: 39 HP, 31 ATK, 34 SPD, 17 DEF and 30 RES. Much better than what Spring Loki got lol!

Here are the rest:

Figured Fjorm would have a statline like that.

So, I woke up to this...

Im so disgusted rn... I spent so much time playing this game. I play at least 1 hour/day since launch. I did not see that coming to an end... 😢

Managed to get Fjorm in about 85 save up orbs. -Atk / +Spd ... always a catch, right? Oh well. I'm not to complain, i actually got what i wanted.

Gosh DARN those new seals. This is premium tier. And a free unit with a great bow AND good SI? That's even purchasable with grails soon enough? Why, yes please!

New skill apparently leaked via the "Learn with Sharena" page. One person calling Naga being the next mythic unit.

Divine Fang sounds, for me at least, more like a mythical beast unit. All dragons so far have breath weapons. Maybe it's a Dragon Laguz? They differ between the Manaketes and the Dragon Laguz by having the Laguz transform like other beasts and use physical melee weapons like fangs/claws.

Maybe it's Dheginsea? But he used a breath weapon in the Tellius games ... the other Dragon Laguz too.

So, I woke up to this...

Can't you unlink your current default Nintendo Account and make an european one where the game will continue service? Uk, or german, or french?

Though, that's exactly what i hope that doesn't happen in Germany ... the reason why i'm not meddling with Dragalia Lost is the need of another account and fiddling with APKs on Android.

But man ... sorry to hear that, especially if you still enjoyed playing the game.

I guess the only way that Nintendo (and others) will adapt gacha games for such laws is when the all of the EU applies such laws as a whole. If it's just single contries like Belgium here, it's just easier to end service.

Sucks for Belgian players. Once bigger countries start (hopefully) restricting randomised gachapon/lootbox style rewards, they'll either have to keep axing countries, shut the game down, or change monetisation methods entirely. Wonder which they'll go for once (if) a big country makes legal restrictions.

That single country needs to be something like the US at least. I doubt that they or others will move if either France or Germany applies suchs laws too.

Either a country too big to miss out on, or too many countries.

Apparently some gacha games just disable spending in small regions like Belgium. Which would be a fine mid ground for players, but I suspect they want the players to be angry and complain to the government to give them a disincentive towards further lootbox legislation.

E: About Divine Fang.

What if it's a sword? And the one wielding it is Anri? Could fit, what do you think?

Given how (relatively) small these games are over here ... that's bold strategy very likely to fail. ^^

I have about 3 monthes to find a solution, at this point. FEH is the game I spent the most time on. I've just finished building my 5th +10 unit and most of my fanarts are FEH related. I can't see it ending if there's any chance to keep playing.
Anyway, will try to change the settings of my Nintendo account. Thx for the advice !

Ultimately Belgium cracking down on microtransations isn't a bad thing, but yeah, it fucks over gacha fans. Catch 22.

Well, looks like account change isn't possible without losing everything ...

https://en-americas-support.nintend...link-a-nintendo-account-to-fire-emblem-heroes

This is just plain bad.

I hope Nintendo / IS makes some changes here to allow an account change ... the hope is small, though.

I'm surprised they don't have Fjorm constantly winking at the camera in this paralogue, she is so pandering, lol.

Besides, we all know she's going to marry Masked Marth someday.

Ah ha, pulled two new flyers in one sitting!

...WF!Hinoka and Sumia. Both +Atk/-Def, so getting hit with that superbane kinda sucks but least they're usable in certain set ups.

Anyway, looking VERY excited to give those new seals a go. My high merge Fae running Renewal frees up her B Skill for something a bit more interesting.

Used the orbs from the paralogue and it's quest for some more pulls and lucked out with another BrideFjorm. +HP / -Res.

So i have to decide between +Spd / -Atk and +HP / -Res. The HP boon would go well with her weapon, but Spd is always handy, especially for a healer who can double without eating a counter (safe for certain skills).

Which would you use? I think i just merge her, so the bane isn't important.

At least you have the best boon for Kinshinoka. And believe me, she fucks up things, especially in AR defenses. Armor super effective, flier super effective. Slap DB 3 (or 4) instead of Atk/Spd Bond on her.

Fjorm x Anna OTP. Eir x Lif is second.

Add Gunnthra x Laegjarn (in afterlife) and i approve.

The japanese skill is something like Divine Dragon King Fang. 'Divine Dragon King' is something that was used before to refer to Naga. My bets are on her

Does Japan still refer to Naga as male? I know Naga was initially kept ambiguous in terms of gender, but i think the latest games did officially refer to Naga as a female dragon.

Dragon King again makes me think of Dheginsea ... or maybe Gotoh ... but he can't transform anymore.

I didn't see the JP name written in japanese. But I guess the King part is 王, and while there is a word for Queen (女王 - literally woman + king), 王 still can be used in a pretty gender neutral way.

edit: Although, Nailah's weapon specifically uses 女王, so idk

At this rate, between this and her Disney Princess tendencies, Fjorm's going to die to the Rite of Frost at the tender age of 104.

Damn, T21 of AR is hard. Today I lost all my escape ladder uses and only manged to win 2 matches. It's anima season so i'm only losing 55 lift on defense but I still need to gain 385 lift if I lose all my defenses.

It's almost certainly Naga. Not only does the JP name share the same title as Naga, but when you remember Falchions were literally created from Naga's fangs, the effect makes plenty of sense.
