Fire Emblem Heroes Mobile: Opinions, tips and strategies

[BogusMeatFactory]

How long does it take to get through the story? I am tempted to fire this up on my iPad pretty soon. (Right now, however, I am busy with Warlock's Tower and DQVII.)

You can beat it in 2 days of energy the old fashioned way if you have at least one 5 star guy. They give you tons of energy replenishes though so you could easily beat it in a day

I'm not good at this game one bit. I think it really requires a LOT of hours replaying some of the maps to get your levels up on the various characters. If that's not it, then I really don't get it at all. Cleared the prologue and like 4 stages of Ch1 so far just today while I was waiting around a bit. I didn't like the pasting I got the first couple times on that bonus map that unlocked that's open now for like a week, so I went back and redid a lot of existing maps until I could take it.

I then realized into doing that early that I forgot about auto-battle. I let the game pound away at stuff to raise levels, occasionally poking in to mess with it a bit. I know it's a cop out but it's nice to let the AI have a swing at it as I can get some kind of strategy going on something that isn't working out well.

Very happy though I got that 4star Roy on my first roll of the wheel the day I started as he's a heavy double hitter. One thing that's bugging the crap out of me is why it NEVER pulls up green orbs for me to get summoned players from that corner of the battle triangle. It's making some situations annoyingly more complicated having to use the neutral gray or the other not useful option as going in with an opposite is asking for a pasting.

You too, huh? I've only pulled one green character. I sure would love to pull Hector.

I got to the end of Chapter 8 last night. Getting pasted again. My team is just really starting to have issues that really only getting them up to 5-star will help. I don't think that's going to happen any time soon, though, so I'm going to cross my fingers for another 5-star pull.

I know it's Fire Emblem-lite, but dang, if you don't have the right folks, you have no margin for error. I felt like a strategic genius for pulling through a few of those battles with my current team.

still grinding my new team. I have three 4-stars and one 3-star on here. Two dudes and two waifus. They're all in the 10-12 level range right now, so def not ready to pick up where I had left off in Chapter 7.

I have pulled a lot of 4-star characters, but no 5s. I think I'll be OK, though, because I have a good mix of 4s in terms of abilities.

I also don't fully understand the ratings chart. I have one of those SS characters as a 4 star, and her ability mix actually makes her difficult to use.

I meanwhile, have 4, including two 4-star Bartre.

What I need are more swords (that don't come with flying mounts, please, game!) I do have a 4-star Hinata, but I know he won't be enough once I get to the higher levels and difficulties.

I FINALLY pulled a second one the other night - a 3 star Bartre. Before him, I had my 2 star Anna, and that's it. I have reds and colorless out the ass, but I could use a few more blues, and I still desperately need greens. Also, despite having spent 30 or 40 orbs on summons, I've NEVER gotten a 5 star. Not even one. It's starting to piss me off.

Even though I have been crapping it up in the dueling arena, my ai team had nit. Defeated 4 players and is almost at max reward for defense in the tournament. Still just pulling 3 stars. I need me a character with good buffing abilities.

[BogusMeatFactory]

Received the max tier on defense in the dueling arena. They are pushing for folks to duel giving new dueling quest lines and throwing up 10 sl sword replenishes for free. Still getting my ass handed to me....fucking takumi!

Still, the amount of feathers I am receiving in total was more than what I had in the last round so I can't really complain to much. All I know is... people be spending money, because I just see 5 star after 5 star. It really must scratch that itch for them.

I also got a slew of 4 star heroes in my last batch of orb redemption so I have a new team set up to level. They have great buff/debuff abilities and will work well with some of my high level team members so it will be great to incorporate them.

As with everyone else, green heroes seem to be more rare. The last batch was the first time I have seen more than 1 green slot to redeem, so I was happy with that.

Lucky, lucky, lucky! Got three green pulls this time. Two were clones, but one was a four-star dragon knight dude, and the other is one that's going to help me in 9-4 against that blasted blue wizard. Cecilia, a 4-star mounted green wizard. Should help me nuke him through the wall, then I can mop up the rest. Just need to get her up to snuff.

Still no more 5-star pulls, but I did just get a 10,000 feather bonus. Now I need just shy of 10,000 more, and I can upgrade someone to 5-star.
