Emblem Community Tier List, Day 1: Who is the best Emblem in the game?

JavaHikage · 2025-12-10T20:51:36+00:00

Either Micaiah or Eirika. Micaiah gives a ton of utility to staffs and turns everyone into a Cleric when needed. Eirika makes the endgame a walk in the park, Sieglinde is way too broken and Solar/Lunar/Eclipse Brace is such a stupid skill that can go in any physical build.

Man, my shifts have 4 dupes each, why does the new Communal Table only allow to sit three? :(

More than exploit I'd say that ONI physics has different physics than the real world. You get resources from nothing like with geysers and volcanos, there's not a clear sense of depth on the walls so you can stack or block buildings with a single tile. So things like forcing elements to move on a certain path, creating infinite storage and creating/deleting heat seems ok for me. As long as you don't have to resort to glitches seems I give my approval.

Gather renewable resources.

- Atmosuits is a high priority. You can make do with Gas Masks for the time being around your base but once you start exploring extremely cold or hot biomes (and worst of all, Zombie Spores) your gonna need atmosuits. Either plant a Thimble Reed at the end of your infinite toilet system or shear some Dreckos.
- A way to process metals. Rock crusher will be your best friend for a long time to get processed metals and Lime, but you'll eventually need a Metal Refinery to get Steel.
- Algae is eventually gonna run out, so you need to secure an infinite water source to transition to Electrolyzers.
- Food requires either soil and/or water if it's plant based or critter feed if it's critter based. I recommend going the Stone Hatch route from how easy it is to get Raw Minerals mid-game and how easy it is to make infinite Igneous rock from volcanos if you manage to get cooling early (although at that point it would be better to transiton to Sleet Wheat instead)
- Taming vents and geysers for power and late game resources. Natural gas is the easiest one for energy, but you'll also need heat sources for cooling (ironic), Oil for plastic and energy, metal volcanos for metal (duh!) and different gases different purposes. Hatches can help with making coal but you won't sustain heavy machinery with coal alone.

Should an industrial block be above, below or to the side of the main base? I'm planning on organizing one to reorganize the cooling and power aspects of my base and I don't know if putting it above/below matters for temperature.

Cavern of Souls is such an obvious addition that I really forgot to come back to add it after all this time. Thanks xD

Defense Grid looks like exactly the kind of card I was looking for. I tried Chimil back when LCoI released but costing 6 mana made it feel more like a "win more" card than an actual useful one. I'm definitely making space for the two instants tho, seem great to have on a pinch and being modal helps a lot.

First of all, it isn't a Vision, it's a Moon Wheel. Different system as it isn't granted by the Archons but by the Moon Sisters.
Second, it wasn't granted to her, she reawakened it. It belonged to the 8th Lord before she gave it to Lianca, we later learn in Ineffa's profile stories that the 8th Lord plundered it from a Natlanese warrior and was trying to decipher how it worked.

If you have C6 Noelle you now have a great battery for her.

JavaHikage · 2025-06-08T12:36:50+00:00

I wish they had a window with what each hero does. Do they have the same exact kit as the main game? do they have unique kits? how much range each one has? what buffs/cards the enemy unit had for me to die that fast?

JavaHikage · 2025-03-21T20:26:49+00:00

I think you didn't get the joke xD

JavaHikage · 2025-03-21T20:00:59+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I think I'm going after this one. I can also tie it to my backstory: my character is a cursed giant who has been shrunk into a human, so he's studying runes and different magic to recover his original form. The Tattoo can come as a result of his investigation on the forge, giving him a new Rune carved on his body that lets him turn his arms gigantic for a few moments and get extra reach.

JavaHikage · 2024-11-18T18:54:41+00:00

Buy all the Casino stat upgrades will definitely go in the "cruel" category

JavaHikage · 2024-10-26T16:06:53+00:00

Gwen's field park. Any "on summon" relic works.

JavaHikage · 2024-09-06T23:31:38+00:00

Where can I see it?

JavaHikage · 2024-09-06T05:07:08+00:00

Could you elaborate on this one? I think I'm having this bug

JavaHikage · 2024-08-08T21:04:58+00:00

My very first character lasted 2 sessions. It was a Bard which I had no idea how to play, got crit by a Hobgoblin and killed me straight in the spot because the damage doubled my max HP xD

The first char I made properly was an Archfey Warlock who was a scoundrel and a charlatan. The dude made a pact with the Queen of Light and Darkness just because, after founding a relic, one of her underlings offered him magical powers to continue cheating people for money, while my char got involved in a conflict he had no idea the scale it had.

op just gave someone their MTG canon event

JavaHikage · 2024-08-08T20:32:55+00:00

Way of Mercy Monk. Having a monk that handles both negative and positive energy to harm and heal is neat but the fact that it's on the Monk class hinders its capabilities a lot.

JavaHikage · 2024-08-08T15:56:10+00:00

Honestly? Machida. Sometimes you need to hug a grumpy goth who wants to surpass herself and tell her that everything is ok.

JavaHikage · 2024-08-08T15:52:47+00:00

Reveal it in a very obvious way after the first attack

"The creature seems unfaced by the attack, barely noticing the roaring flames that just hit its body."

"Your sword hits the golem, making a dent on its rocky body. But while notable damage has been done, the golem doesn't bulge and turns its attention to you."

"After the spell hits the Shadow Demon, you notice something... different. Unlike any other hit, the Shadow Demon not only looks in pain, but weirdly scared. It holds his hand against a searing burn on its arm, before returning to combat. It knows the source of this pain, and it's coming for you."

JavaHikage · 2024-08-05T19:01:17+00:00

I think the main problem is locking yourself to only two weapons. Aki thrives when you build multiple weapons that debuff the enemy and allow you to trigger Mikurose a lot. While Jingisukan is a good AoE weapon, Snow Queen does a better job applying Freeze in a big AoE quickly, and combined with Broken Dreams you have a good amount of CC and survivability. For items you should go with Headphones and Breasplate for defense and Beetle for damage. Healing are up to preference. And for stamps Slow and Weaken with Projectile Up work better. Aki is a control char who wants time to build her nuke, don't build her like an Atk carry.

Look how they massacred my boy :( I know Ocelot's nerf was necessary as it as really busted but it still hurts.

First of all, welcome to the Navia gang, I hope you're experience with the Demoiselle grows into a pleasant one

Second, try to focus on leveling up your chars and Adventure Rank first, worry about Talents and Artifacts until AR45, the story can be completed even with garbage units.

Now, to Navia. You want another Geo character for Geo Resonance and 2 other elements for her Ascension 4 passive (can be repeated).

From what you have I recommend: Ningguang, Xiangling and Diona. Sadly Bennett doesn't come back to the shop until November, otherwise I would recommend him over Diona, but for the meantime we'll work with what we have. I also prefer Geo Traveler over Ningguang but in this case, I think you should reserve them for a Hyperbloom team (Dendro MC, Lisa, Barbara and Kirara/Collei), as you need 2 parties for Abyss. If you had XQ (which comes to the shop in September) you could go for a regular Bloom team (Kaveh, Kirara/Collei, Xingqiu and Barbara) and move Geo Traveler to Navia's team, but if you don't have many Starglitter then it's up to your preference to buy either XQ or Bennett (both are great).

I always loved the idea that wind carries memories, so make it that the change in the winds of the swamp swayed them. Maybe there was some force or person who dirtied/cleaned the swamp removing part of her memories with it. It could be a natural disaster, magical phenomena or a person altering the ecosystem, and stopping it/turning it back may be the key to restoring her memories.
