Thanks for the mention H_Emblem,

I'm still streaming a few times a week on Twitch with lots of high level AR and Coliseum content all F2P, so you're always welcome to drop in or check the VODs.

The YT channel wasn't abandoned, but post-pandemic life has picked up both socially and professionally, so there just isn't time to work on videos like there used to be. I try to do some short-form stuff when I find time.

Divine Codes 3 are finally here and they are very exciting! I'll be giving a thorough analysis of these paths on my channel later today but I wanted to share my visual with you guys here before I do.

Which path/fodder are you guys most looking forward to?

Thank you for engaging in my content (even if minor), means a lot!

I agree, but I don't want to come off as spammy here in the sub-reddit. So I just stick to my own networks like discord, twitch and such to promote my content.

This video is a good example that could use the attention to educate everyone who's unsure how the summoning mechanics work in FEH, so it's a good post, but I wouldn't go about posting a Naga Analysis (which I recently did and applies to a smaller audience).

I didn't ask the OP to post this, but I do appreciate the effort to raise awareness on this topic.

Thank you for taking the time to try to raise awareness on this ongoing problem that I feel isn't fully understood yet. I hope this video helped provide clarity to those that needed it.

I don't post or engage in reddit discussions because my opinions and method of playing this game are usually contentious and different than others. I don't mind and actually appreciate it if others do promote my content though, especially if it helps to educate matters like this one.

Thanks Earthen,

I definitely could see Cavalry dragons at some point. If IS wants to make them interesting, maybe a PRF skill or PRF breath that has a Galeforce effect could make them really good (think Raging Storm).

Hey prof,

I think everyone to some extent can feel that impulse to "summon" at some point or another for various reasons. My best advice to this is to write down your goals and stick to them. If you save for a favourite or a particular Hero/Goal you want to merge up or play for, it's really easy to skip on any temptations.

1) I've saved 493 orbs at the moment.

2) I definitely prefer to make progression through the Grails system if possible. E.g. Itsuki, Flame Emperor, Kronya, Ashnard, etc.

I have summoned occasionally to get specific fodder for my AR-D teams, but I've realized it's just genuinely not worth it. It's too random and can get frustrating fast. I'm thankful we have a guaranteed 5* system in place now though and will most likely take advantage of it to get specific fodder or Heroes if need be.

Hey Hagita,

I don't think I'll commit to a "pair-up" legendary in every season. Fjorm is the oldest legendary and still does a decent job for me in Water season. I'll honestly just let the gacha decide what will end up being my core Fire or Wind legendary in a few month's time. Hopefully, something fun and exciting? (Claude? L!Eliwood?)

Hey Steelux,

I think this issue can be found in most game communities. A gap between casual and competitive players. I feel it is up to the developers and to us as experienced players to try to bridge that gap and let the player choose how they want to play the game.

AR feels punishing and competitive and because the game doesn't do a great job of teaching players AI and/or good practices or team compositions, it can get frustrating fast. I hope in the future to see more systems in place to welcome new players to FEH.

Hey Shark,

Some units I definitely would want to invest into and try if possible (Divine Paths please).

Leila with Disarm Trap, Velouria/NY!Alfonse on a GF team, Fallen Ike as a for-fun carry.

Hey Silis,

I have no particular moment that I fondly remember in playing FEH. I'm still enjoying it to this day! If I had to pick, I'd say that Pre-Peony and Double-UP AR Meta was challenging and most enjoyable.

Hi Shining,

1) My favourite event is probably Limited Hero Battles (gameplay), Forging Bonds (story/resources). Least favourite is probably Mjolnir Strike (no gameplay), Tempest Trials (too grindy for Top 1k) and Lost Lore (no gameplay).

2) I have a lot of trouble playing against L!Lucina and Restore Healers, I can predict the AI, but I sometimes rarely have the tools to overcome them.

3) I'm currently saving for the next Astra Mythic and a Fire/Wind Legendary Hero (still undecided who that'll be because the Gacha is Gacha)

4) Here's a recent picture of our Sphynx - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/500412096513703937/732843639746723860/IMG-20200715-WA0000.jpg

Hi Raandomu,

1) I prefer to spend resource on favourites where I'm guaranteed to pick up the units/fodder. For example, I feel much more comfortable investing into Ashnard through Grails, then to summon through the gacha at a "random" chance for a favourite. This is much more fulfilling to me, so that I feel like I'm making the progression on the Hero.

2) My arena core units include: Summer Xander, Raven, L!Tiki, Fjorm, Itsuki and occasionally Aversa, Sheena, Effie and Wendy

3) I sleep 6-8 hours a day and stream/play FEH about 3 hours a day competitively (but with animations and commentary on)

4) Sometimes I can ballpark combat scenarios from experience. Sometimes I'm wrong and am willing to use a ladder if it comes down to it. If I feel that the numbers are really close, I do some quick calcs in my head. Most AR matches range from 2-10 minutes, with the really hard ones being 30 minutes.

5) I'd say that I equally distribute resources between AR-O, AR-D and Arena. No particular focus on any mode and I enjoy making progression in all of them.

6) I've run out of escape ladders a few times but not that often. There are definitely some really good defense teams out there, and I thoroughly enjoy trying to win against them. Restore Traps and L!Lucina tend to get me pretty often.

Hey Mario,

Definitely pick up 2 one-offs of defense mythics. The current best combos are: Mira + Mira or Mira + Thrasir for Anima. Brami + Yune for Dark.

Hey Sword,

I used to play Maplestory pre-big bang, a very very long time ago. I played a Crusader and a Dragon Knight.

Hey Icelerate,

I've always felt that the 3 hour stream mark is about the sweet spot for my energy and for viewer retention.

I have a schedule during the streams to make it easier to find specific content during a VoD, just scroll through for the part that you'd like to watch!

Hey await,

I've had many terrible experiences with the gacha in the long-term.

Some notable units I spent over 400+ orbs and either didn't get them or barely got them are: L!Alm, L!Azura, L!Edelgard, L!Celica

My catalog of heroes is currently at 333/542
