I'd really love it too if we could fix IVs with Sacred coins, but it's probably too good to be true! Unless they make it really expensive and it would only allow us to reroll the IVs, meaning we could get better but there would also be a chance it's worse... But who knows, maybe they will surprise us!

Congrats on the pulls anyway. Even with bad IV a dancer should still be really useful! And you got all the colors covered now c:

I didn't pull yet because my barracks are still full XD... I hate having to do this!

Yeah the IVs are a bummer but it's all part of the game, unfortunately. I've always told myself I won't reroll for IVs because I think it'd be a descent into disappointment. And they're still usable, so I'll use them! I'm just training my newly crowned Firesweep Lance+ Cordelia, with my original, first 5* Cordelia merged so her spirit lives on (also she had enough SP for the weapon and some skills so) and then I'll work on Azura.

Haha I ended up pushing to 335 in my barracks. :c It's frustrating to be pulling units and be like, 'welp, there's good fodder, can't trash him! ah crap, there's another, she's staying too...' but it is good to have resources available when I do want to build units (never the right resources, mind you, but plenty of options)

I only have 215 at the moment but it's probably only a matter of time until I cave in and buy more space... I did a few quick SI (I recently decided I'd promote my neutral Cherche to 5*, so I already gave her most of her future skills) so I could summon and I just got Shigure in less than 40 orbs, so I'm pretty happy already c: He's +atk -res too so good IVs! (maybe not the absolute best but could be really worse) I want to go for more soo I'll probably pull again later, haha XD

yay, you made it through colorless hell! and then both inigo and azura! that's pretty lucky o: at least shigure is alone in his color pool so if you feel up to trying for him (and blue tome valor, wweh) later, you don't have to worry about a double spoiling your pity rate

nice snag with shigure!

and re/sacred coins... man, at this point i just want to know what they're for. i looked at the datamine yesterday, and right up at the top -- "no sacred coins info" >:C dark IS, show me the forbidden item use!!! they're moving from 1/2/3 consecutive arena assault wins to 2/4/6 for the quests, too, so now it's like... you won't tell me what they're for AND i can't be lazy??? fine, i'll just 1v1 arena assault and farm items lmao

Oh they're doing that? I hate arena assault, I dunno what it is but it's just so... tedious. For daily quests I just 1 v 1 Brave Lyn then launch the full squads at the next two battles, then quit and call it a day. On a Monday I'll lead with four level 40 4*s to bring the average down and make it tolerable but it usually takes a few turns to get past that first battle.

And yeah, I think I'll call it a day tbh. Gotta stockpile those orbs for Halloween fun, the amazing banners feel unrelenting at this point heh.

And congrats on the pull! Nice IVs too, little Shigure will do you proud. Haha jealous over the barracks number though, how are you so restrained?!

yeah, i prefer tempest or chain challenge 'cause i don't have to keep selecting units; i'm lazy about organizing multiple teams. i've been avoiding squad assault for the same reason, haha

i'm just wondering if the quest shake up is "we're changing it because we know you'll want to grind for sacred coins anyway -- because they're great! -- and this makes it even better!" or if it's more like "we're changing it because you're going to need incentive to grind for sacred coins -- because they're not that great." i mean, i know they're finally telling us what the things do soon, but the suspense is killer p:

Gotta run in and squee a bit. Wasn't having much luck with the dancer banner so moved over to the new one, and got a Focused 5 star Takumi on the first try. The IV calculator tells me he comes with neutral stats, too.

I know he's not top tier any more thanks to Brave Lyn, but holy cow I've been wanting him for so long!

I finally got a good 3* Nino! Yay! +Spd/-Res! I'm a bit worried that her Res bane might not allow her to bait buffed Reinhardts, but I'm going to go the Fury/Desperation route and I'll see what I can do with buffs/seals/supports etc to fix it. I should get started on training her asap since she will need a shitload of SP to learn everything XD

(The funny thing is that it was a good summoning session - 4* Camilla who will serve as fodder for Brave Axe Cherche, Barst because I can never get enough Reposition, and even a 5* Minerva (already had one though)... but I waited for that perfect Nino for so long! _)

A Nino, congrats! I've stuck the Distant Defence seal on mine and she also has the pleasure of summoner support, so tanks Reinhardt without any problems.

The Camilla Warriors map is a BLESSING for SP grinding omg. I actually found out people are touting -Atk/+Spd Inigo as he can counter both Bow Lyn and Reinhardt and offers additional utility in Dance so I've committed to building him. With double SP weekend, you can position him behind two high def units with no weapons and destroy the whole map, and earn 150 SP each run for 10 stamina. Pretty sweet. He's almost at his goal now. I'm running Gronnraven+/Dance/Moonbow/TA3 (need to 5* a Cordelia for this, eep)/Bowbreaker 3/Hone Atk 3. I just need to learn TA3 now and I'll be done. It was pretty painless considering how weak he is!

inigo, azura pls come home eyes 4.25% rate; the orbs have forsaken me

"New Seals (Deflect Melee, Deflect Missile, Deflect Magic)" i love my reinhardt but rip tiny hand man lol. hope we get these and the seals forge soon~

also i backed fae for the first round 'cause she's precious but we're vs ninian and i. don't have high hopes x:

It's here! Haha the seals forge looks kinda cool. No IV reroll sob :c but it was a distant dream. Some of these seals are gonna end up super powerful. Not sure what to invest in first, but Deflect seals seem like a decent first step for Arena Assault and maybe Distant Defence 3 is the best bet overall. Lots of people touting Speed +3 too and I can imagine it'll be useful for giving units a little more oomph.

(it took me a while to see you can select between Creation and Enhancement)

And I joined team Nowi! Haha felt like a better bet than trying to duel with Ninian, my other built dragon, who hits like a wet paper bag and Fae is my only other 5* and she's also level 1. So it was kinda a no-brainer. Looks like Ninian is absolutely demolishing it, though! Poor Fae baby, precious chicken lady.

oh! i went to bed without doing the new alfonse chapter, so i thought it wasn't out yet o: neat! guess it'll be time to unbench spring xander and hoard more badges soon~

i would've joined nowi but i haven't rolled her yet ;w; but oh, it looks like i slept through all of fae's multipliers and she's outpaced ninian for a bit -- there's some hope for my chicken yet, haha i don't know what the hell i was looking at (note to self, don't look at the official tracker until after coffee), ninian's put that my favorite chicken into a blender lmao ouch

The devs still acknowledged the IV "problem" in a interview a few weeks ago and said they were looking into that, but they would probably lose so much money if they did ever give us a way to reroll them! XD Maybe there's still hope they will make something about it one day! (Even just a super expensive way to make the unit neutral, should be better than nothing!)

I didn't look into the new seals yet but they look very interesting. And it's nice to see that badges finally get an use too!

I joined team Y!Tiki for the gauntlet since she was my first 5*. Ninian eluded me during Hero Fest so she shall not get my support even if she seems like the most popular choice haha <: She will probably crush us next round but still!

x_x Haven't been on here in awhile -still dancerless from the new banner- , I joined Male Corrin due to the odd luck I had at pulling a 5* of him from the bride banner I think... He's attack +/ Spd - I think but he's been useful so I felt it was fitting.

inigo came home!! he's +spd/-atk so i went ahead with the popular counter build - gronnraven+ / luna / triangle adept / quick riposte. i'm drowning in cecilia and catria, and i pulled a bad iv 5* klein during the deathblow banner so... (shrug emoji) gotta clean house sometime. bowbreaker would've been better, but i've only got one setsuna. guess that means i should try for the new olivia p:

though... "with this power, i'll dance even more beautifully. just watch me!" i hope so, i had to 5* cecilia and selena, this was expensive! /weeps in 0 feathers

meanwhile, some squinting at the internet confirmed that fae was winning right when i checked in -- and then the scores updated and ninian's doubled lmao. nice to know i wasn't going crazy but, man, poor this poor lil chicken... i can't figure out who to join after we lose, the only other dragon i'd like to back is adult tiki, but it looks like she's going to lose too x:

You know, I'm convinced that the devs literally switch the scores between teams, because I can't figure out how one team can be winning by a couple million and then in the next hour it's the absolute inverse. I'm wondering if they're number switching to encourage people not to pile on to "the team that is winning" in an attempt to spread out the participants a bit.

After the drama of the last gauntlet (Camilla beating Lyn in the final few hours because she got a hefty multiplier) they've changed the system so difference only needs to be 1% before the multipliers trigger, which is leading to almost constant fluctuations between teams. Seems like a dumb system imo but it's hard to balance. When there were no multipliers on the losing side, people complained gauntlets were too boring and predictable, fair enough, but there isn't really a way to make them... exciting without artificially creating the drama.

Huh, that's actually a good point, I hadn't thought of that - maybe because I try not to care too much about who's winning and losing. It's all about the orbs, babyeee. <3

Haha yeah I'm not bothered either, I'm happy to side with whoever I have in my roster and maximise my feather earnings. And orbs! And sacred coins! Give me the free stuff and I'm happy. I do understand some frustrations as these are characters people have invested in over the years but, at the same time, I don't think it's worth getting stressed over.

It's been a while but I've been getting back into the FE Heroes thing! I really like how Calvary units are getting a leg up in general. Camus is a beast and I've been coupling him with Eliwood with Ally Support and Calvary Boost abilities and it's amazing. The only thing is that Eliwood is so fragile, lol. I've been trying to boost him by giving him Buckler/Escutcheon and HP+3 seal, and it's okay so far. His high Res and Buckler ability makes him a less than favorable target for CPU characters, which is nice because it allows him to be put pretty far ahead in certain maps.

So I've been getting the sacred coins and stuff but I don't see where to use them in the seals forge or anything. How do I use them?
