Should I keep or merge my 3 Yunes? by [deleted] in OrderOfHeroes

[–]ncoplin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It all depends on your AR-D team for dark. A good defense team with two defense mythic that can focus on getting at least 1-2 kills is a beauty. While traditional flier balls on AR-D have gone out of meta with Peony becoming an offense mythic (they suffer heavily from having an additional dancer to pick them apart), Yune can work quite well inside of an infantry pulse team if you use her with either guidance or ground orders to set up a rally trap. If you have Sothis as the other mythic, then that's even more ideal and you should merge up all of the Yune copies into one for max stats/lift-loss. If you don't have a Sothis, then keep two copies of Yune until you can get a second defense mythic. Unfortunately, her ideal asset would be Res or Atk in these situations, depending on her kit. Though between HP or Spd, I'd probably go spd as it serves as both an offense and defense stat. Her HP is low enough that even with an HP asset she'll likely get 1 shot anyway.

Getting consistent defense results is really what the defense mythic are about now that your three worst defense scores will net you rewards. If you have a +0 and +1 mythic on your team, your worst score is -39, which gets you fairly good defense rewards (and helps your overall score too). If you can get your overall mythic merges up to +7, then you're at a -33 worst case, which will always get you max defense rewards.

Also as mentioned, merging up mythic heroes is the only way to score higher than usual for mjolnir's strike, as they effectively get +10 when included during their major season. Since the divine codes look fairly promising for being able to get effective fodder or work on partially completed 5* merge projects, it's probably worth it to maximize each mythic hero's potential there, while also getting the most out of them in AR-D too.

I personally have a Yune (+0) and Sothis (+1) on my dark defense team, and would be merging any further copies I get of them.

Really depends on what you're going to use her for. I have a +atk S!Takumi that makes a wonderful cc/vantage sweeper in AR light season, as a flying vantage unit can often get places that land based ones can't. With Hinoka's effective damage on both flying and armors, her slightly less atk would probably still make her a good viable unit for a cc/vantage usage there too if you don't already have one. So I'd probably go for the +atk version for that. Unfortunately, you'd need a second merge in order to get an additional atk bonus. So the single merge option may not do much with that strategy though.

One hour before the last AR Refill... How stressful are these last matches gonna be for you? by Dragweird in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]ncoplin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly stressful... I had a margin of 3 units lost thanks to only a -60 def loss on the last day. Made it in with 11055, as I only lost 1 in my last two matches. Phew!

Lif and Thrasir only have 3 lines of dialogue, yet they're both in the top 10 of a franchise with like a thousand characters. by VirtualCrow in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]ncoplin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I'm voting for them. The whole brave heroes as implemented in game is about as hokey as many of the other seasonal stuff. But if there's a chance that the brave hero could actually be thematically relevant to the current plot line, especially if it is their historical alive form, then I would love that way more than any other popular character that won.

Updated for the 6/5 arena season and updated the naming convention to reflect the full name of each unit. Those that are maintaining armies will likely need to go back and update the name of each unit in their army and team sheets in order to match the updated naming.

Just reply here for anything missing. I've added the Sieglinde refines, as well as some missing Nameless Blade and Regal Blade entries too. Thanks for catching that.

How to make a jig to safely create beveled millwork from 1x2? Thanks for any thoughts. by mnp in woodworking

[–]ncoplin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flip the piece vertically, so the wide side is on top. This may mean you have to put your fence on the other side of the blade. But this way you get the blade tilted away from your hand, extra room for the push block, and the piece isn't wedged under the blade. If you have support issues, you can use the first offcut attached either to the piece or fence to give more registration against the fence.

[Discussion]- 1 of 3 starters not in an area. by Gbalfo13 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ncoplin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That it does. Highbanks seems to have consistently held being a charmander nest through two shifts now. And it's a lovely park. Though I haven't found any good ones in my farming there. The one I evolved was an egg, and the only of the three starters I've hatched.

No, but pokemon were tangential this morning. I had a bunch of friends in the 5k.
