Started at mage Gauntlet. Still F2P! I have 22 five stars. 2 Merged. 3 of them are reward units. I feathered up 5 plus some others for skills. I'd say my favorite game mode is the good ol' arena. I have Sanaki and CYL Roy so I do indeed have the units I want ^-^ I have finished almost everything just have some cc to do. Also.. Roy's art is fantastic!!

Report

The art for CYL roy is actually really cool, I like this version way more than his main versions I've seen in this game and others.

I've played since launch and i'm up to 25 five stars. 1 is a duplicate (Ninian) and 6 were upgraded through feathers. I'm currently up to 17k feathers. F2p but there's times when I wish I spent $40 on a banner but saving up for a big order of Cipher booster boxes. I like the arena the most but defense maps are fun. An endless/arcade mode of defense maps would be cool, kind of like the chain arena but with one team. I got Leo, but he's -atk. I would like Faye and Innes, also Kliff to be in the game. I finished story mode and paralouges but chain chalenges can be hard. The game needs friendly pvp (against random people would lead to stall wars, but Fates had pvp and it seemed good) and trading. I know IS doesn't want people making new accounts for rerolls and this would be a way to give away units but they could have you wait a certain amount of time, link a google and Nintendo account, pay feathers, etc. Overall the game is good but it needs more.

Report

Awesome! Dont you think arena is kind of dull? The only thing changing are the maps every week(rotation)? I agree that it needs pvp but i find it hard that they would have it especially in real time. They would probably implement something like a guild of sorts though.

I've been playing since the start. I was free to play until a month ago when I put in a little money as I recently had surgery, so I've been playing this game A LOT in and out of the hospital/doctor's appointments. I'm up to 35 5 star units, although one of them is Abel, so does that one really count?

I really, really want Brave Ike and Lucina, but I've gone through my stock of ~180 orbs I saved up for the event and have pulled 1 5 star Abel (Brave Lance fodder basically) and 1 Hector (no complaints there as he's eluded me for so long).

I really want a Ninian, but I've given up hope about that ever since the Hero Fest denied me.

Report

I hope you get better! I myself had surgery approximately a year ago so i drowned myself in fire emblem heroes to avoid depression. Haha, i know abel sucks- i have a 5 star of him myself(and 3 4 stars) they're basically just swordbreaker foddr for me. Haha, high five! I got hector (2nd one) in this banner as well xD. Ninian is amazing! I hope you get to pull her soon.

Report

Thanks!

On the plus side, at least Abel was better than when my friend pulled both 5-star Merric and 5-star Priscilla in the same summon, perhaps about the worst two 5-star pulls you could get.

Started when the game was available but didn't really focus on playing for quite a while...just collecting the 2 spheres every day.

Didn't do the Masked Marth thing and nearly stopped playing at that time.

Also didn't get to know this site and a lot of mechanics earlier. That said, I didn't know anything about IV and inheriting skills until yesterday (oh gosh, so many 4 star units turned into feather instead of using their skills...so many 4 star units gone without checking the IV). Also didn't know about the HV mechanics (I'm german...not sure if it's called the same in English...the feather trigger on each character).

Now I'm fully into it again, starting to enhance my best units and trying to figure out, how to make the most of what I have.

The game is so much more complex when knowing about the inheriting thing.

Right now I have 33 five star units with one of them being a ++ (merged three Camillas) and including two neutral Brave Lyns with whom I'm pretty happy right now, but still thinking of merging them some time.

Right now my best units probably are my tank/healer Ryoma (HP+/-SPD, with Renewal 2, Treaten ATK 3 and this HP swaping thing), a quite similar support Fea (SPD+/ATK-, with Renewal 3, Ardent Sacrafice, Breath of Life 2), Tiki, Nowi and the two Brave Lyns, with the later two being paired with Olivia in Arena (plus a changing unit like an ATK+/DEF- Peri, a Leo or one of the mentioned units).

Next 5* feathering might be Reinhardt to put him in Arena too.

Hoping for a Hector or an Azura.

Would love to get some more armored units, as I have only one 5* and three 3*s.

Report

Haha, i doubt you are the only person who doesnt know About IV's. I have some people on my friends list that only have their units base skills. Congrats in getting brave lyn! You will get your desired units soon! When i first startrd the game-i really wanted lucina, effie, tharja and azura. And now i got 3 out of the 4. And i got them as off focuses lol. So just keep persevering and playing and you will soon get whst you want( hopefully)

I've been playing since week 1 and I'm still F2P. I rerolled around 15 times until I got Lucina & Camilla at 5 stars. Camilla was the unit I wanted when I first started playing but Waifu is Setsuna she's at +1. I have 37 five-star units; 5 were five-starred via feathers and the rest of my feathers went to upgrading units for skills or merges. My highest merge is +2 Camilla. I've only got 5 units at 3000 HM; Setsuna, Olivia, Linde, Fae, and Zephiel. My barracks are at 256/260.

I like Arena mode best. I've made it to Tier 20 but I've never stayed there for 2 weeks in a row.

The unit that I've probably wanted to most ever was Summer Tiki I was able to get 1 of her. She's cool but only really gets used during Arena Assault or when I'm leveling axe units. The only mode that I haven't completed is Chain Challenge for chapters 11&12 and 9&10.

I picked Brave Lucina as my CYL free unit because I think she's the best of the lot for neutral stats. Now I'm slowly collecting orbs trying to get Brave Lyn.

I still like this game as much as I ever have.

Report

It's nice to know that you got the units you wanted (when you started to boot)! How's setsuna doing for you? Did you give her a quad build with life and death desperation? From my point of view, merges aren't as valuable to f2p as having that unit pass on specific skills or weapons. Unless they're like Ests or oboros or merrics. Yeah! Lots of people have trouble with finishing CC 9-10 and 11-12. I think it took me 5 tries to finish 11-12. However, i finished 9-10 right away. Brave lucina is amazing! In my opinion, i prefer brave lucina over brave ike. She's more versatile and can play as support.

Report

Yes my Setsuna has BB+, LD3, and Desperation but I like the Escape Route/Reciprocal Aid combo on her so I can attack anywhere or spur anybody with her. I'm planning on sitting down this weekend and finally working my way thru the last Chain Challenges because I need those orbs more than ever now xD because Brave Lyn looks like a beast even though I've been neglecting building a horse emblem. I also kind of want to give Saizo her Atk Smoke skill so he can debuff def/res/atk all at once.

Report

F2P still since day one and going strong! I have 28 unique 5 star units, 33 counting merges (Lyn+1, Athena+1, Frederick+3) and 34 counting the 5 stars I've sacrificed (I used a crap -SPD +RES Raven to give Brave Axe+ to Frederick). I have a fully decked out Brave Cavalry team of Reinhardt, Frederick (the aformentioned Brave Axe +3 one), Cain (desperately want to replace him with Luke but I can't seem to get him), and interchageably Roderick and Brave Lyn (Brave Lyn will probably be permanent when I can get her Brave Bow+ but believe it or not I don't have a single Brave Bow user besides a 5 star Klein I just got that I don't want to sacrifice. Not even a 3 star Gordin). 8 of those 5 star units were upgraded including 4 Fredricks, the other 4 being units I upgraded early on when I was a noob and regret now (except Kagero, she was invaluable to my clean-up team in Tempest Trials).

I still can't beat any of the Infernal Battles, I haven't completed the Squad Assaults and a chunk of the Chain Challenges, I've never made it past tier 17, but I'm happy.

I never really had a specific unit I've wanted since the start, I'm just content working with what I've got.

My favorite mode is probably Tempest Trials. I just love the mental stratagy challenge of trying to defeat all the enemies while taking as little damage as possibly (I don't use a healer. Haven't done very well with one on my team).

Report

Damn fredrick+3! I don't even have a merged unit. Though i can only manage to upgrade to +2 if i wanted to. Wow! I don't know if that is such bad luck that you haven't gotten a brave bow fodder or that you haven't rolled colorless orbs that much. The infernal battles are hard so i'm not surprised you haven't finished them. I would advise you to inherit some skills that will help your team though like say if you have a sanaki and you are about to face infernal legion. I suggest you give her axebreaker to help her deal with those units by herself. Wow! You're probably one of the few people that likes tempest trials and not because of the orbs that you can get. I got 149k points last tempest trials and i only got there because of auto mode. It was too grindy.

How is your roster going?
- Good. I just upgraded my barracks for the first time.

How many 5 stars do you have?
- 37

Has the game made you p2w or are you still f2p?
- From launch until Alm/Celica's Armies I put in $20 a month. I spent a lot more that month but didn't pull a single focus unit...so I decided to go F2P until Sigurd is added to the game. F2P has been fine so far, the game is much more generous with orbs and feathers than it was early on.

What are your favorite game modes.
- I enjoy them all equally. I like the variety.

Do you have the units that you want?
- For the most part there are only a few that I'd still like to pull like Amelia and Gray. More so there are units I want for skills but haven't pulled yet - like Hinoka for Hone Fliers, Titania/Leon for Guard, Saber for Shield Pulse, and so on.

have you finished every aspect of the game? From main story to cc to arena assault?
- Everything except for the Chain Challenges. I haven't gotten a deathless run in Arena Assault yet but I clear it every week. I'd like to break into Tier 20 but my score isn't high enough so I bounce between 18 and 19 each week.

Report

Lol, in that department i think i might have to upgrade too. I dont have any more space for fodders. XD did you have something specific in mind that you want to use shield pulse for? I have saber but i personally chose to not use shield pulse at all. Changed his b skill and special.

Report

Started about a week after the game released. I now have 35 five stars, though I did send 2 home, merged a few, and made some into 5* for SI. Sadly, I'm a P2W player but I still try to be as F2P as possible lol. Tempest Trials sucked at first but I really liked the most recent one. Currently finished all chapters and paralogues in all modes but not the chain challenges. Every time I get a unit I want, the stats kinda suck lol but oh well. I still have yet to get Ephraim, Sonya, Julia, and Ninian.

Playing since week 2, still f2p with 42 5*, only merged unit is a +2 reinhardt and all three of them was upgraded from 4* to 5*.
And no, didnt get all units i wanted =/, no ike, no lucina and recently no brave roy.

Report

My roster is building up quite nicely so far from the game's launch. I have 28 5*s and 3 serious 4* merges and a couple others because I keep drawing so many duplicates of some characters that arent great SI fodder so i figured might as well try them out as a +10 eventually.

In the beginning I was pretty pissed off at the game thinking the stat growths were just pure RNG and that the lower quality of the characters I had was simply luck screwing me over. But before I quit I looked up how the stats were handled in this game and came across this site. Once I found out from here that the stats were actually fixed and got some tips on how to build good units I got really damned hooked on FE:H and its now the main game I play.

I really enjoy that the RNG in this game is basically reserved for summoning and even mechanics have been stripped of all the random crap. Like crits have been converted into specials with the changes to killer weapons. Really hoping they expand the concept of specials, like adding new ones that do more than just essentially add or reduce damage in various ways.

Been enjoying some of the better fan service of this game like the new brave units with details about them you would only really get if you were really into the series.

I Still haven't spent any money on this game yet. Though if they want me to spend any money at all they have to drop the cost of orbs from a silly price of $13 for a full round of summoning to $5. Basically $1 a pop. Maybe $5 for 20+1 orbs if they feel generous for when you go on a spending spree and exceed your barracks capacity you can expand it for each round of summoning.

If they try to make it next to impossible to get units without spending money but dont drop the cost, I'm just quitting instead.

My favorite mode is mostly the GHB as a lot of times I finish lunatic/inferno with really clutch plays and having to really sit down and think about every move. Bringing out a heavy emphasis on actual strategy instead of simply grinding and stats in a mobile game where I expected the exact opposite and getting the opposite of what the 3DS games have provided so far. Also without it dragging on like some of the other modes like CC.

I have some of the units I want but still no Hector or Ike from day 1, but I found out recently my friend who barely plays has both, fml. However they did add some of my favorites villains like ursula/valter. Both of whom I voted for in the original CYL vote, so thats been great. I also got Amelia (favorite unit in SS) and a half optimal (+spd/-atk) nino. Still missing Sanaki as well.

Most of the other characters I want are from PoR and RD that arent in the game yet. But some of those are coming soon it seems like from some of the revealed upcoming stuff.

I finished the Main story/paralogues, but havent done all of the CC, most of the rewards like smaller amounts of hero feathers just doesnt seem worth the effort. Can you really "finish" AA? Still wondering what the sacred coins are going to be used for. On the verge of tier 20 in arena if that counts as "completing" it.

I know the question wasnt asked about some of the previous stuff, but I felt like throwing in a bit of my early experience of the game since launch and how I went from despising this game to being the game I enjoy most lately.
