New FE Heroes thread!

Ay new thread! HeroofEnelios already knows but I'm not interested in the bride banner at all. lol. Charlotte is the only one I was interested in and... well, I think everyone's seen the complaints about her art.

I haven't done much in the Tempest Trials yet tho. I just did the first few levels but I've been distracted training my new 5* units (recently pulled a Sakura, Karel, and Ryoma... all in my vain attempts to pull Leo or Lucius) and finishing Zephiel's quests. I don't really get how the scoring works??

Dolce Scoring works like this!:

• Base Score: There's a base score for each different stage; the 5-stage Lunatic one (which is usually what I stick with) is 40, for example! They might all be 40, though, I don't actually know because I haven't left the 5-stage Lunatic tier since after trying them all whoops
• Maps Cleared: Pretty straightforward; your base score is multiplied by how many maps you managed to finish. So, even if you lose, you still get points based on how many you finish! Even if your A-team dies early you should still keep truckin' for as long as you can so as not to waste that 20 stam you spent.
• Speed: You get a multiplier based on how quickly you completed the challenge. This is based on turns spent, though as far as I know no one knows how many turns drop your score nor if it's based on turns taken per map or turns taken per overall challenge. This is the trickiest one to do well on and I usually just stick with my Cs rip
• Survival: I think I've heard that the survival multiplier isn't based how many units die, but how many teams you go through, and that seems to pan out in my experience. For example, since I don't have any of the bonus units trained up, I throw out Nowi alone on the first stage, have her die, and then stick with my A-team for the rest of the time. Even if none of my A-team units die, I still always get a B in survival because my first "team" died, even though I really only lost one unit. Likewise, if I don't sacrifice Nowi for bonus unit points, all but one of my A-team units could die on the last stage and I'd still get an A in survival.
• Bonus Ally: You get a multiplier based on if you used a bonus ally on any of your teams that went into battle. You can put a bonus ally on your first team alone and sacrifice them so you can use your best team afterward and still get the points. Likewise, if your first team dies and you put a bonus unit on your second team, you still get the bonus points even if that second team dies and you win with your third or fourth team! This multiplier is pretty big, so I'd definitely recommend doing the sacrifice thing if you can't fit any of the +40% bonus units on your primary team! The points you get from using the bonus ally outweigh the hit to your survival score, especially since you never know if your A-team will die and hurt your survival score anyway.

Hope that helps! If anyone notices I got something wrong then let me know, and if I figure out anything else I'll be sure to post it here!

EDIT: For the record, I believe the maximum possible score for the highest tier is about 705? So even if you do awesome it's still gonna be a pretty long grind to the Quickened Pulse seal... ;_;

Manakete Here's a video that might help with Zephiel! This person uses free 3* units with no skill inheritance or merging to beat all of the GHBs, so even if you don't have those exact units because you sent them home, used them for SI, or you just don't want to train them up, it can help with figuring out a strategy!

Isoprene indeed the max possible is 705. That's a fairly small difference from 600-650 on a decent run. For that reason, I don't think perfect runs in the top level of the tempest are really worth fussing over. 

I personally like Tempest Trials so far! A little grindy, but past the 50k mark with Quickened Pulse, the orbs are basically just bonus prizes for extra effort. You aren't losing out if you don't go for them, but they are nice if you get them.

Which is why I'm going for them. Must pull for BrideCaeda owo and I swear if I get all reds on my next pull and summon Celica, after she never appeared once during her banner...

I pulled Lucina finally ;o; and got "Marth" too..... I'm done grinding. I love the Trials, but man I hate most units now, haha

Geez okay, clearly I need to step up my game if I want Quickened Pulse by the time this ends. xD I only just got "Marth" last night from the trials.

screams I GOT LUCINA I GOT LUCINA i was literally in SUCH a bad mood and i had 5 orbs so i was like "oh lets summon for fun" adn i chose the single red orb and THERE!! MY GIRL

Manakete Congratulations! :D Hope she works well for you!

Meanwhile... hurray I hit the 50k pt mark and got the Quickened Pulse seal. Now to leisurely go for those extra orbs. No more pressure... oh, and try to train new 'masked' Marth.

In other news.... Yes a New Mystery of the Emblem Banner was announced! I'm excited :D

YESSSSS 4* MASKED UNIT GET

now i just gotta shoot for the 5* one..............

All the new FE12 content for FEHeroes getting confirmed is making me excited. Legion AND Clarisse GHB? Yes please. 

Infernal mode... FEAR

Looks like there's some kind of glitch in the GHB, so we're getting free orbs to make up for it at some point: https://twitter.com/FEHeroes_News/status/875637786337878016

personally i would like for the heroes staff to keep messing up and giving out free orbs, thank you

Isoprene You know I saw that tweet, but I didn't notice the difference on those tiles. The damage didn't seem out of the ordinary (thena gain, fully buffed bladetome Nino tends to not care about defense tiles).

But yeah I don't mind the orbs. That's just one more way that IS is being good to their playerbase.

I've cleared Hard and Lunatic so far, but I'm gonna study Infernal difficulty guides before I give it a go. Also wait until I 5* Legion.

New bonus units for arena!:

Not sure what I'm gonna do... didn't roll any of the bonus units, but I do have a 4* Camus partially trained, a 5* Hinoka (though -Atk), and a 4* Anna sitting around. I have enough feathers to promote Camus, but I'm not sure if I want to blow my last Quick Riposte on him when supposedly that special summer banner could be here any day now. Promoting the beginner heroes to 5* is always a good idea, too, but Anna doesn't suit my playstyle all that well.

Might just go with Hinoka since I have a Clair and Spring Camilla at 5*40 who are fully inherited and just slap some inherits on her... and then maybe I'll bring along Palla or something?? I could probably afford to promote her to 5*, though I'd have to check if she can reliably beat Hectors and maybe stand up to Ryomas here and there. Now that I think about it, I better make sure that Hinoka and/or Clair can deal with Ryomas since on my usual team (Ike/Linde/SCamilla/Bonus) Vantage Ryomas tend to end my streaks...

The first thing I thought when I saw that pic was all the mounted units (Luke, Roderick, Camus, Stahl) and idk why but my tired brain was like 'OMG A MOUNTED UNIT GAUNTLET?' I just- blame Serenes for someone posting fanart of a fake Red Knight vs Green Knight gauntlet. Anyways I'll probably use Jakob or Lissa?? Both are lvl 40 but I'm just not sure if I want a healer unit or another attacker. Gonna miss having Olivia as my bonus hero... :v

I guess I'm okay with it not being a gauntlet though I mean the best Cav still isn't in the game and by that, I mean Sain

Isoprene I wouldn't blow Quick Riposte on Camus anyways. It's meant to help slower units get two hits against faster opponents, so it feels pointless on an already fast unit like him.

I'm just hoping we get new quests with orb rewards soon. I'm eager to try again on the Echoes of Mystery banner again. owo (must have Katarina).

Also proud! Cleared Infernal this morning around 12AM. Took 2-3 tries before I got the hang of it. Really not that much tougher honestly.
