You always want to keep the higher rarity version, pretty much. But merging in a lower-rarity hero only gives you SP.

So if you enhance the 2* by merging in the 1*, you will get like +20 SP on the 2*. It's not worth much.

If you enhance the 1* by merging in the 2* (or another 1*), you will get some SP and also you will get +1 pseudo-level, which is 2 random stats. It's still a 1* though. And even with the max of +10 pseudo-levels the 1* will probably still be weaker than the 2* at level 40.

So, you never want to get rid of your highest rarities. But you also gain very little by merging in lower rarities. Instead you should consider either (1) setting lower-rarity heroes free to get feathers or (2) upgrading the lower-rarity heroes to the same rarity as the one you're using so that you get the stat boost. In general I expect that it only really makes sense to merge 5*s into 5*s.

Gotcha, thanks for the tips! :)

I managed to get 2 x 5 stars .. Takumi and Camilla in a 5-roll, I know Takumi is good, but how is Camilla?

She's good if she gets the first attack. Her double attack can be deadly.

She's also green, which is super underrepresented at the moment.

I (finally) got a 5-star camilla too. She's a beast: she gets an attack bump for initiating attacks and does residual damage to anyone who attacks her. Between her and my 5-star marth i basically steamroll through everything.

Got a 5* Lyn on my 2nd Reroll try yesterday and I was really pleased with that so decided to keep her, just did my 2nd 5-roll and got her once again welp. I'm pretty new to this but she hits damn hard so I'm thankful!

Just pls give me Roy next time

The strength is that they have really good stats, with very high hp, def and atk values. Hector can also counterattack ranged units, which makes him really good.

Without ranged counterattack he's basically sheena, who's practically indestructible but takes a reeeeeally long time to get into position

what is the strength of armored units? moving so slow
They're very tanky and strong to make up for their lack of mobility. Most non-magic ranged attackers do little to no damage against them.

If you put a ranged attacker or a healer behind one, you can do a slow push behind your tank to help your units get close. If they can get in range, an armored unit can hit really hard as well. I have an Effie and she usually oneshots anyone she gets close to.

The downside is that if you have one in your team, you pretty much have to play around that super low mobility, or else your whole party just leaves the armored guy behind. You hide behind your tank and creep forward slowly until you're close enough to fight, then burst forward with your more mobile units.

all with monstruous big img or people that have to quote it, as a pro tip, if you include a 'l' (of large) at the end of the route just before the point it will adjust to the size of the forum without having to quote it.

example with the img of the previous post

you can also make it medium with 'm'

or small with 's'

Is having 5 star Kagero/Takumi, too much squishy? I'm having a hard time keeping these guys alive.

I also have a 4 star Tiki and a 5 star Blue (Hinaka? They are on a pegasus)

The problem is if I run up against hard targets, Takumi/Kagero get squished. Even my winged unit is pretty squishy.

Not sure I can have both the 5 star greys playing at the same time.
 
will repeat this as many time as possible, better stamina restore item distribution >>>> higher max stamina in general
Comparing to Brave Exvius and Mobius, where getting materials to power to unlock your units isn't restricted to one day of the week, it just doesn't seem like friendly design. I get that it's meant to bring you back into the game, but why restrict a certain material to a certain time period? Why not limit the amount of said material you can get per day? Oh well.
that's even worse in general unless there's different set of same towers but different material reward exist at the same time. materials tied to specific day isn't really a problem as ppl can just hoard stamina restore item and blew it on the day which the material they want exist, but in this game that thing is scarce
at least they didn't do like other mobile game where material dungeons/towers/maps = weekday, gold/exp dungeon/tower/map on weekends only :v

So if I take a level 30 4* and upgrade him to 5* I'm starting over at level 1 right? No sense in power leveling any characters I feel I might want to make 5*?

Is the amount of SP you gain from merging in lower rarity heroes fixed or based on how much SP you've gained on that hero?

Double Takumi team in arena ;_;

Robin clutched it! :)

Robin is brutal. I just got him last night and he is already my highest level O_O

Any tips for leveling healers around level 30? The exp from healing allies is small around that level, and they can't easily kill enemies.

It's not topping the charts even this close to launch so probably not that much but a healthy amount nonetheless.

It's #2 on iOS in Japan and #3 on the NA Play store right now.

It was #4 yesterday so its on an upward trajectory, beating out Clash of Clans. Only Mobile Strike and Game of War are ahead.

Nintendo should advertise it.

There will be more reTweet campaigns soon for sure
There was 133 789RT and they only wanted 10 000

10 000 orbs, believe

What I mean is that the only games higher than Fire Emblem right now are games you see actual TV commercials for with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Kate Upton and shit.

I think this game is against me.

I got 4* red, blue and colorless units (And even a *5 blue unit), but I just can't get a green unit.

That type of unity never shows up on the summoning table. It's starting to get on my nerves

Cecilia is on the special maps today and Gunther was earlier this week- both of them are reasonable reserves to level up and fill a gap until you get someone stronger.

My general gameplay loop is that I've always got a B-team of relatively low level people to work on that take less stamina per map when I want to play for a while. It's useful for learning all the skills and trying new team compositions too.

Yeah my biggest weakness running Roy and Lyn is tanky blue units. I actually lost an arena because I just don't have a good green unit at all.

I'm running Lyn, Ryoma, Tharja (three reds) and Camilla. Camilla is basically essential. If there are blue enemies left and Camilla dies, I'm done for. I learned the hard way losing a few times in the Arena that I must carefully move my units and exploit the AI so that I never lose Camilla.

I'm raising a four star Robin to replace my four star Tharja. I spent 2000 feathers to upgrade the Robin from three stars to four. Hopefully he pulls his weight.

What's the difference in Rising Flame vs Growing Flame for Tiki? Is it worse upgrading before her other skills (considering it's 300 SP)

The 300 SP one does a barbell shape AoE, the normal one does a straight line. Basically more chance to hit units on the field when it triggers. I upgraded mine after the 7HP heal skill.

Zelgius will most probably be a sword user, so I hope one of the 2 Black Knight will be spear.
Of course one will need his Alondite either way.
I can hoard for months until he releases, I just need him.

Fake edit : checked Awakening spotpass unit and he had a spear there.

Was at a 7.5% chance to get a 5* unit.

Got five 3* units.

I now have an 8% chance. Really want one more 5* on the current banners, was hoping I could get it sooner rather than later so I could stock up on orbs. At least I still got my boy Roy.

Does the increased odds of getting a 5 star stay restricted to the banner you was pulling on? If so, that sucks a lot.

Just started, pulled a 5 star lady, Azura. Is that good enough or should I be rerolling?

I also got 2 donnells, Eliwood, and Barst.
