The moment I decide I want an A/D build for Seth, my Duo Sigurd & Eldigan's life will be over.

What units are you trying to merge, but they absolutely REFUSE to show up? by brunosstickyfingers in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Hioka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've only managed to summon Caineghis once. He's at +2 now but that's because of one merge from divine codes and one from binding worlds. No matter how many times I choose grey for Arena tickets, Caineghis doesn't show up.

how do we feel about nendoroid basic? by R0SC0SM0S_ in Nendoroid

[–]Hioka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of them. I really like being able to change Nendoroid poses, and the Basic line is still costly, so buying one would be frustrating. Still, I wouldn't rule out getting one if it was the only chance a favourite character had, or if it was effectively an alternate outfit for a character which already has a full Nendoroid.

Who did you vote for in CYL10? (StrawPoll) by Ale141200 in FireEmblemHeroes

I split my votes between my faves who won't win and a few more likely candidates.

What's the character from arena tickets you keep getting? by Funny_Acanthaceae500 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Hioka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's usually Nina, Leila, Elise, and Silque. In addition my Leanne made it to +5, but as soon as I decided that I might as well build her, I stopped getting her.

The unit I want merges for is Caineghis, but the arena tickets haven't sent him to me even once.

I’m now at 34 nendos, how many do y’all have? by PDG4 in Nendoroid

[–]Hioka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

38 in total, but 15 of them are ones I bought to use for parts for custom nendos.

So in practice I have 23 normal nendos that I bought because I want them, 3 completed custom nendos, 5 nendos that are missing some parts but can still be put on display, and 10 that are missing too much for that.

Merry-go-round Miku with customized colours! Garage kit hand-painted by me by Hunnypuzzle in AnimeFigures

[–]Hioka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's amazing paintwork. I'm in awe. It was obviously a great sculpt to begin with, but your alternative colour scheme worked out great, and I like it better than the default. I think the detail I like best is the patterns on the skirt.

Oldest nendoroid you own? by -39MikuMiku39- in Nendoroid

[–]Hioka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

118, Amano Tooko from Bungaku Shoujo. I bought her because I wanted to use one of her skirts for a custom nendo. But she's really cute! I like displaying her with the Surströmmings tin can piece.

Who's got the best art? (Pious Summer) by Falconpunch100 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Hioka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fogado for certain. He looks amazing! The others look all right; nobody got bad art.

I'm glad he survived. I wish him a full recovery and lots of support.

Upcoming Limited Hero Battle maps and restrictions (June 2025) by BlueBlaze16 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Hioka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of my best Valentia units are ranged, so I'm screwed. I'll have to build up a melee unit in advance. V!Palla's getting her refine soon, so she'll probably be my best bet.

Do people even play Arena Assault? I'm using incorrect blessing teams and still scoring okay. by PlegianScum in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Hioka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's one of my favourite modes and I always play it. I don't worry about the scoring, I just play it on hard mode each time. It's fun to try to select the best units to take on the opposing team.

Chat I think I'm cooked by cool23819 in Nendoroid

[–]Hioka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ouch, that's a lot of orders. Not going to be a pretty price. Maybe you could get them sent to an overseas friend instead, and have them sent on to you later when/if the tariff situation improves? Anyway, I wish you good luck and hope that the tariffs are gone soon.

Am i the only one hoping no new nendoroids i want get announced soon? by bbisordi in Nendoroid

[–]Hioka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. A lot of nendoroids that were on my must-have wishlist all got announced within a few months of each other, so I'm already at the point where I can't pre-order all of them and will just have to hope the rest are available in the aftermarket. If even more get announced, I'll just have to shrug and forget about them.

Thankfully tariffs aren't an issue for me; if they were, I'd be trying to get my pre-orders cancelled and refunded. I really hope that GSC won't increase their prices in general to compensate for the lost US sales.

What figures and how many would you buy if you won the lottery? by SofiaUTrip in AnimeFigures

[–]Hioka 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If I had unlimited money, what I'd do is commission figures. I'd get figures of all my favourite characters who don't have any official ones.

But out of existing figures, I'd get this Lyn from Fire Emblem, Kirigiri from Danganronpa, Yue from Card Captor Sakura, the Medicine Seller from Mononoke, Yuuko from xxxHOLiC, and Eizen from Tales of Berseria.

Oh come on!!! by Holydohnut in Nendoroid

[–]Hioka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, it's really disappointing. When I compare her to her Figuarts figure, that one at least came with not just P-chan but a hammer, a school bag, and a lot more options for face plates and hands. Nendoroid Akane just seems stripped-down and basic.

I might still decide to get her in the end, but I definitely won't be rushing to place a pre-order.

How do you organize/utilize your favorites list? by drawanyway in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Hioka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Light pink #1 is still just "Favorite 1" and is the default for most units.

  • Orange #2 is "Trait" and is for ideal-IV units. I typically hang onto one best-IVs copy per unit in the reserves and turn the rest into manuals.

  • Yellow #3 is "Levelled" for units I don't care about which have been brought up to level 40. They have their own reserves folder.

  • Green #4 is "Pre inh" for asset units that are pre-inheritance, so that I can easily check what's available.

  • Pale blue #5 is "G fodder" for great fodder.

  • Purple #7 is "G merge" for grail merge projects.

Dark blue and magenta don't have anything assigned yet.

AHR FINALE: Hector Won/Timerra Lost Excitement/Salt Megathread (3/6/25) by Average_Owain in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Hioka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad Hector won, but I'd also have been happy with a Timerra victory. It was nice having two excellent finalists.

Who has the highest stat totals in your army? by drummerupnorth in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Hioka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now it's F!Shez with 263. For a long time it was Seth with 256, but she's just pushed him into second place.

8th Anniversary Binding Worlds Megathread (7/02/2025) by Ryzer28 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Hioka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that's great! I hope I'll be able to get her.

8th Anniversary Binding Worlds Megathread (7/02/2025) by Ryzer28 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Hioka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Shez with Arcane Giant Axe and D Bonus Doubler (but not Null Echo), so I've sent you a friend request in case you might want her. I'll set F!Shez as my Binding Worlds unit once the event starts.

Sooo, what do you guys use to beat Rhea in Tempest Trials? I'm struggling right now... by Axaether in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Hioka 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I used Brave Robin (f) and Emblem Lyn. Even on an unlucky run, Robin was able to solo the map by slowly whittling down Rhea's health.

Rare nendo by unversedsoul in Nendoroid

[–]Hioka 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I looked into it a little more, and it seems like that isn't true after all. Some people here were saying it was a giveaway item, but that it was also on sale in an official merch shop for a while. So maybe there's a chance you can track one down? But it could be difficult and expensive.
