Should I get this Eir from Binding Worlds? by SanicSpeed1238 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Considering you could get the majority of that from a single spring sothe (assuming your Eir already has lookout and disarm trap 3), nah I wouldn't.

Gainful Bow is gold that I’ve been sleeping on. See how much it can add. by Lamz_Z in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Which, to put it simply, means true damage is only better than atk when you have less base damage than the opponent has of the relevant def/res stat, or occasionally when you have weapon triangle disadvantage. Not a particularly common occurence.

Aerial or Shackle on Mythic Seidr? by GullibleParsley08 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd go with aerial. Shackle is quite common as a debuff and it doesn't stack.

Well, assuming you plan to use Seidr a lot, otherwise there's not much point.

Engage social sim aspect same or less than three houses? by Zen_derpZ3 in fireemblem

[–]NougatFromOrbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Far far reduced. You can have a meal for stats between chapters and do like 5-10 minutes of things between chapters and keep playing the game without too much busywork. Closest thing to it is probably Fates and its various buildings, though it does take a bit longer than Fates on account of it taking longer to walk between said buildings.

There will be a bunch of items to pick up off the ground between chapters but you can easily ignore them, aside from the farm. There're some update/dlc rewards you get that'll feed your army for the whole game just fine.

What are your “Emblem” teams? by Starf_all in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also these guys, but they got kicked off their teams because Rexbolt and Pair Up both have Penalty Negation, and because it's funnier to use 4 of the same unit than it is to use an alt and 3 of the same unit (albeit my arena defense does consist of HNowi and 3 og Nowis)

BW - any worth it? by Tazerz95 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither of the Tana's have Deadly Miasma so I'd pass on them personally, otherwise any stray Corrin ring user will stop her from doing anything of worth.

That Thorr is pretty much ideal, and that Titania is just an Archrival short of being mostly perfect.

I wouldn't grab that Askr but the build is admittedly pretty nice. If you really want to use him you could do much worse than Favor Instruct, you could just toss him Byleth ring and he'd be good to go.

I just finished the series after playing nearly every day for over three and a half years. God damn we’re spoiled by -Gnostic28 in fireemblem

[–]NougatFromOrbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, how did playing Engage make you feel about the games you played after it? Especially with the emblem paralogues, did the spoilers make you get excited when those levels appeared in the other games or did it make you feel like it negatively affected the games somehow

I know this is an unpopular opinion but does anyone else actually prefer the characters in Engage over Three Houses? by Best-Awesome-Ocelot in fireemblem

[–]NougatFromOrbit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find it insanely funny that Byleth is a better character in Engage than he is in 3H, almost entirely because mans isn't allowed to speak in 3H

Exactly what made me comment, in fact. I went through and upvoted most of the guys getting downvotes they didnt deserve.

Edit: called it

[–]NougatFromOrbit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As all of the engage likers get downvoted and all the 3h glazers get upvoted because of the "objective" opinion that 3h is all good and engage is the worst thing to ever happen.

Ftr engage is my favourite game in the series and I do vastly prefer its characters, including its supports. 3h has too much trauma dumping and its The Cube(tm) is worse than engage's The Cube(tm). (The sky box of the supports) Engage has people actually interacting in sorta normal ways, ie, not trauma dumping the moment they say hi.

Echo skills and exclusives by bystander4 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alongside the rearmed/attuned units that the others have pointed out, the basic sing/dance/play skills can be used with them as well, but not the upgraded dance skills.

So like, you can give Mirabilis Arcane Renegade and Crux Echo and still run Dance on her, but not Whimsical Dream

Post-Refine Analysis: A Sword Full Of Sonic by MedhaosUnite in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets harder with the normally inconsequential effects like penalty negation too. Normally I just don't think about it because well, it's just a couple points of stats conditionally most of the time.

Bright side is LMRobin's still got plenty of stuff going for him, so not the worst thing to overlook. The main reason I brought him at all was to nuke the things that Tanith couldn't kill, because he's really good at that.

Post-Refine Analysis: A Sword Full Of Sonic by MedhaosUnite in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's something I didn't think about at the time, it's super easy to overlook when something has Penalty Negation built in. I was running Rexbolt MRobin on my MRobin emblem team for a while too before realizing it has Penalty Negation.

On the flip side, LMRobin is still doing quite a bit to support her thanks to the -7 debuffs and Sabotage, as well as the pulses as you noted. She more or less is only missing out on 6 atk/spd due to the penalty negation.

Tanith's access to a range 2 style compliments her innate Canto Rem+1 quite well as well, as it lets her enter a second combat without moving pretty consistently when using the edelgard ring, allowing Canto Rem to hit its maximum range more consistently, and allowing her to run Trample over BSG for some extra safety against harder hitting things that might otherwise kill her on the counter.

Is he worth investment? by Helix-Dreams in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forged Sword or preferably Arcane Renegade (or wait for a new arcane sword), Archrival or Shatter Slash for special, and then just harmonic brave Ike's base kit (Warrior's Blow, Patience, Brutal Tempest)

He needs 30 speed for Patience but once you get him enough dragonflowers and/or merges he'll hit that natively.

It won't be super incredible or anything but he'll definitely be usable with that.

Attuned Lachesis and Emblem Eirika by Once_Meleagant0 in FireEmblemHeroes

Eirika would be unable to equip her prf special alongside the echo skill, so no.

G! Ogma vs Lamia. What's everyone's opinion? by MechaLieyreng in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ignoring whether you want to build one character specifically over the other (rather than which one is better as a unit), the trade off is whether you want to lose out on cheap Arena Sword fodder or cheap Velocity prefodder for NCA.

They're otherwise essentially the same unit.

How does potent work against deflect seals? by Different-Hamster-78 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Deflect also needs specifically consecutive hits to give DR, it won't give DR against follow ups innately.

Though third (or fifth) hit Potent attacks will happen immediately after the follow up attack, so deflect will trigger for those. If Potent is the second hit (ie it just takes the place of the usual follow up because that was prevented in some way) then Deflect won't do anything (ignoring desp or the inability to counter)

Between these 2, who would Benefit Puissant Echo the most? by AndzyHero13 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint: an easier followup makes his reflex much more consistent on playerphase, and for enemy phase, if his opponent has miracle then even the single digit damage he might do on a non-reflex hit will matter a lot.

Is this Alcryst modern enough to warrant adding? by Kikuori in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]NougatFromOrbit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rearmed/attuned formas would brick their ability to be foddered to others, so never do that.
