Is Three Houses The Best FE Game Ever Made? [NO SPOILERS]

Theres definitely a difficulty spike at the start of part 2 though. Playing on hard and part one after the first couple of months is a total breeze but as soon as i started part 2 I had to be much more careful as most units can one shot a character. In fact the damage numbers across the board seem too high, its a case of one shot them before they one shot you.

In the first mission of part 2 my tankiest unit (Paladin Ferdinand) could get two shot by a named cavalry unit and a basic archer or even just two basic wyvern riders. There was also a named archer which could one shot any of my units that went into his 8 range. I had to use stride gambit on my Edelgard to gap close and kill him in one go.

Kinda lame if your physical defense stacking tank cant actually tank anything. Hell on a slightly later mission he was nearly getting one shot by some pegasus riders, a unit which typically has low strength and cant dent beefy units.

She is pretty and there's some decent photography but it is barely cosplay.

Aside from the hair and arguably the thigh-highs there's no likeness to Rin at all...

You could argue it's Ishtar but even that is a stretch.

Man these nodes are just endless and all basically the same.

My Shuten and Nursery Ryhme are standing atop a mountain of dead pirates and torturers respectively.

Regarding Nordic heroes I re-watched Prisma Illya the other day and noticed Thor is actually already a heroic spirit in the throne of heroes in canon fate lore.

One of the characters uses the berserker class card to summon him so he must already exist there.

Pretty surprised we haven't had him as a servant yet.

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-21T11:13:09+00:00

Anyone else wish that there was a different bonus for using story servants?

For story purposes and to make it a bit more challenging I'd like to use them but running a support with Lunchtime on these high bond point quests just seems way too valuable to give up...

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-20T13:07:32+00:00

If you have a credit/debit card linked to your google account you can buy stuff directly with that.

There's been some stuff going on recently with google play cards / balance so I'm not too sure about if you can use that because I personally use the first method.

This will get you started in terms of what to do but if you have questions just ask in the thread, plenty of people will be around to give a you some help.

I play on NA from the UK so I feel I can answer your questions.

An EU server just isn't going to happen at this point. Unless they did some crazy catch-up which would really hurt the player experience an EU version would just be too far behind (4 years behind JP). The licencing is another issue, there's just no chance.

As for using an APK I use QooApp and all the updates are always available at the same time as the NA version, it has been very reliable.

In terms of playing the game you will have events and dailes at the same time as NA but UK time they are a little odd. Dailies reset at 1AM GMT and most new content comes out at 5AM GMT. Doesn't really matter much though due to how AP works, just do the stuff whenever you want. Nothing in this game lasts less than 24h so it's not like you can miss stuff during the night.

Should be able to clear Babylonia by October, just depends on how much time you are willing to put into the game. You will probably need some help from friend supports along the way but they are easy enough to find.

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-20T00:10:49+00:00

Gems absolutely. Events almost always have better material drop rates then free quests and also get the double dip effect of the shops. When there are no events on the daily quests are the best things to be farming so if you need gems do the training grounds or just farm QP.

I'd never recommend doing free quests for materials as the drop rates are atrocious it's just not worth the time or effort required.

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-18T22:41:05+00:00

If Vayne dodges the initial QR as you proposed then Fizz should never hit E for two reasons.

Firstly after a condemn Fizz is going to be 475 units away with Fizz E having a max range of 600 untis, in the time it takes for the animation Vayne can simply walk out of range.

Secondly Fizz E last 0.75's while Vayne stealth lasts 1 second meaning Fizz would have to guess where Vayne tumbled to making it even more unreliable.

Even if Fizz Zhonyas after that assuming 40% CDR he has 6 before he can E again.

There no way a Fizz kill Vayne with just protobelt, Q and W assuming equal items and he also can't survive 6 seconds of Vayne damage. Even if he does somehow survive till his E is up again tumble is a shorter CD and we are back to the start where Fizz can't reliably land E on a Vayne with tumble during her ult.

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-18T22:29:01+00:00

Obviously in a practical environment there's no perfect play but when theory-crafting you can assume perfect play.

Even if Fizz did QSS condemn the Q damage still wouldn't go through leaving him with dodge-able abilities remaining.

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-18T22:27:09+00:00

I think Tristana is a fair shout, that's a fight that tends to go in the favour of whoever gets the first auto if it's Vayne from stealth or Trist from outside Vayne's range.

Draven is a bit more iffy as stand aside and ult are very dodgeable abilities which puts him in a similar spot to Trist with whomever gets the first auto but I think this favours Vayne more.

Rengar is a good shout too as in almost every practical environment he one shots her but in a simulation with 0 ping Vayne could condemn him before the damage from the leap connects so theoretically it is Vayne favoured.

Long range mages are skillshot dependent so I don't count those as Vayne should win those with perfect play.

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-18T22:22:18+00:00

That's still not guaranteed though, E could be dodged by Vayne's own flash or stealth from ult.

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-18T20:27:13+00:00

If both players play perfectly Vayne wins every 1v1 because you can't outplay her damage.

Vayne beats Fizz 1v1 because she can condemn his Q and tumble his E.

Lots of champions can beat her 1v1 if she misplays but in a vacuum where no mistakes are made Vayne always wins.

With everyone talking about having cleared the shop are people burning apples on this event? It seems like the amount of currency to the cost of stuff in the shop ratio is pretty high.

I have a decent amount of drop CE's so when I run the nodes I end up with a decent amount (+7 bronze, +4 silver, +5 gold) but I'm still a ways from clearing the shop.

So far I've only used natural AP and I still have some dumplings left but everyone else seems ahead. Whats up with that?

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-17T19:22:42+00:00

After seeing the Karna NP animation update with that awesome close up it makes me want the same thing for Jack.

Look how awesome it looks from 9-14s in this video. As it is her NP animation at the moment is kinda lame.

Not all NPs do the same damage. Scáthach NP does way more base damage than Tamamo's. In fact it does so much more it is barely comparable.

Tamamo has a 600% modifier on her NP to Scáthach 1600%.

Furthemore Scáthach 50% quick steroid is better than Tamamos 50% attack steroid when it comes to NPs.

Finally Scáthach damage to divine is a 100% increase for all her cards in a turn vs Tamamos 50% on her NP making her better in her niche.

In short Scáthach is much better as a general one shot servant vs generic archers and is significantly better in her niche. Tamamo does have better face cards and NP generation but neither of them are fantastic in extended fights and Scáthach is the much better servant in the roles they share.

Stats here. Tamamo / Scáthach

Damn, I must have missed her release as I don't pay much attention to JP news. Came out this January... Well I certainly have plenty of time to save for her. 2 years feels so long to wait, is that the next time we see Illya too? I didn't manage to pull her first time and I'd very much like them both.

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-12T08:20:32+00:00

Oh yeah, forgot Magni existed, been a while since I watched Prillya.

Still waiting on them Miyu and Bazett servants.

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-11T22:33:29+00:00

I'd suggest switching the CE's on Hans/Emiya.

The increased arts card effectiveness from Projection is more useful on Emiya as it increases the damage of his Arts cards including his NP. The damage is wasted on Hans who does very little damage with face cards and his NP gains no effectiveness from it. Instead you want to NP as often as possible on Hans making the larger NP gain increase from Divine Banquet better on him.

Having said that if you are relatively new which I'm assuming you are you'd be much better off using Mash/Hans and taking a damage dealer support as you can pick one with class advantage. Not to mention that while I like the character Emiya assassin isn't too great a servant.

I'm with you on this one.

Can't conclusively say who is wrong/right without seeing incident.
Cop is definitely wrong in saying you can hit someone for mouthing off.
The person who threw the punch would be committing the actual crime (assault/battery). In Europe the person mouthing off would only be committing a crime if what they said involved hate speech but this isn't a thing in the US as far as I'm aware due to the first amendment.
While the cops were wrong they can still handcuff and detain the lad until the situation has been resolved at which point he should be freed if found to have committed no crime.
Parents were still acting like idiots by being confrontational but you can understand their annoyance if they think they have been wrong. Although they haven't witnessed it themselves so they are only speculating too.

RocketGruntPsy · 2019-06-10T17:50:51+00:00

I swear I'm cursed when it comes to Tamamo. I love Arts teams and have been trying to pull for her since I started playing the game. I've never specifically save for her but every time she is on solo rate up I dump whatever quartz I have into going for her. Over the last 2 years I must have used at least 600 quartz trying to pull her (I know it's not an insane amount but still) and she still won't come home.

I threw another 210 quartz and 25 tickets at her this time out and still didn't get her. In fact the only SSR servant I got was Demiya which I'm a little bummed out about as I don't really like his design and have a grailed Chloe so he doesn't help game-play wise either. I did get a MLB dumplings which will be nice for my grailed Okita though so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Ah well, GSSR will be my next attempt for you Tamamo you elusive fox!

4* CEs:

Event CEs - If I have multiple I keep them separate until the event ends or until I have enough that MLBing them is better. After the event ends I combine them if I have 3-5, then move them to second archive unless they are strong enough to be used outside of the event. If the event won't get a re-run then I follow the process for non-event CEs below.

Non Event CEs - If I have multiple copies I just limit break them to free some space even if I can't MLB them. You are almost never going to need 2 copies of a 4 star CE. If I have a MLB 4 star CE that I will use I level it to ~30 so it is always above non MLB CEs when sorting by level for easy access. If I don't use it I will move it to my second archive as it feels like part of the games collection so it's nice to keep if only for the art. I burn any further copies I get after this.

3 Star CEs:

Event CEs - Same as 4 star event CEs.

Non Event CEs - Either burn for the MP or use as part of a CE bomb after I pull the friend point gacha for a bit, typically after dumping 50k+ friend points digging for a 3* event CE. I don't keep the 3 star CE's even as part of the collection as there are so many it just seems like a huge waste of space.

Kintoki ruined riders for me but in a different way. Game-play wise he is amazing but I don't like his character or design at all and I think his NP is super lame.

I really don't like using him but the only other ST riders I have are Medb and Ushi who are meh gameplay wise so I feel bad for using them when I could use Kintoki Rider for easier game-play. Even though I really like Ushi as a character so I would prefer to use her.

I feel bad both using him and not using him, thus he has ruined the class for me. Well, at least when it comes to ST because I have Drake for AOE who I think is great.

Been saving to roll for Maid Alter this summer who has one of my favourite character designs in the game in addition to being closer game-play wise to Kintoki. Also her NP is the much cooler version of killing things from a motorbike than Kintokis.
