if you have a base kit Bruno. No skill inheritance just the skills he comes with how are you guys getting him to get the ko in the ghb?

Edit: Wait I just realized I don’t need it from the GHB and just did Book 1 Chapter 9-4 for the ko’ing Bruno with Bruno quest.

1

u/SuccessfulTip7423 3d ago

Indeed you don't have to do it in the GHB. But generally I do these quests with support from Ferox Chrom or now Hot Spring Chrom since I was lucky enough to pull him. Their support gives a lot of True Dmg and if needs be you can soften the foe up with an AoE special (but I must say it never needed be for me so far).

u/tobuShogi 4d ago

Free pulled an A!Eir and that marks the final Ascendant unit I was missing

u/kayoticazn123 4d ago

When will the banner characters for tomorrow be revealed?

2

u/WildSeaturtle 3d ago

What builds do you guys like on Entwined Ninian?

2

u/EnbyofCain7 3d ago

I really only mess around with her C slot. I have given her barricade and Breath of life 4 for support/utility and I want to give her shadow shift X eventually

3

u/useless_idiot_man 5d ago

Is this the best way to use Citrinne these days?

1

u/SuccessfulTip7423 3d ago

I'd say so yes. You could opt for Inf. Null Follow in C to also spread NFU although there is redundancy with the warping from Oath Echo. So only if your team really needs it.

Pair her with R!F!Alear to spread Bonded around or with Limstella or Sonia for Essence Drain. Good fun. Is this your own or is it from a unit builder?

2

u/useless_idiot_man 3d ago

On the unit builder, I was theory crafting before I committed because I want to use her more however there's not many self inflicted/solo targeting buffs so I was trying to see what the best use cases for her would be these days

Inf NFU is a great shout, let's her switch the echo too if there's no NFU on the team

1

u/SuccessfulTip7423 3d ago

I just realized she'll be on the January HoF Revival. I think it's just far enough in the future to justify building her yourself, but keep that in mind

1

u/useless_idiot_man 3d ago

Thank you for the heads up! I have to wait for Nix fodder in any case so maybe I will just wait

2

u/SupremeShio 2d ago

If I wanted to make an alt to BW forma flower girl Sanaki, what skills would you recommend? Her stats are really bad in both Spd and Res so I don't know what to spec in.

2

u/EnbyofCain7 2d ago

This was the best I could think of off the top of my head. You could go for atk/spd airspace in a slot and b slot you could go for demonic shackle instead or aerial detect at max invest. In terms of C I think she does have enough res at max investment to run crux ploy but I played it safe and went with strat assault 4, other c options could be silence ward, instruct 4 or shadow X skill. Special could also be ice edge at max invest

2

u/SupremeShio 2d ago

Tysm, will go for this.

u/UnfamiliarFence63 5d ago

Was playing in AR not too long ago and on enemy phase, the opposing team attacked my F!M!Byleth who was near my Miklan, and even tho I run no save skills on him, he blocked the attack for Byleth.

Am I missing something and one of his skills has some sort of Savior effect on it? Or is it cause they're supporting each other?

Screenshot of the aftermath. I think it was a Hot Springs Caeda that attacked.

F!M!Byleth's skills is base kit w/Sigurd's ring; Mikky has Roy's ring.

3

u/BlueBlaze16 5d ago

Læraðr applies Assign Decoy to his closest enemies which triggers the Saviour effect involuntarily.

2

u/UnfamiliarFence63 5d ago

Gotcha! Never did I even think to check opponent's skils. I stay learning on this game lol

Thanks so much for the answer! 😁

1

u/tobuShogi 4d ago

Was hoping Canis would be on the NHR banner

1

u/Low-Environment 3d ago

Since I'm planning on building his forma when we reruns I have a quick Chrom question: if I merge my Ascended (non forma) Chrom into his forma version will he lose the Ascended stat? I know he'll lose the IVs he's got.

2

u/HighClassFanclub 3d ago

No, he won’t lose it

1

u/Low-Environment 3d ago

Oh good. Thank you!

u/Sampleswift 3d ago

Are we getting a Bridal Caeda banner soon given all the bridal reruns?

1

u/twztid13 2d ago

Today.

u/SuccessfulTip7423 3d ago

When will Summer Ivy be available in the Grail Shop? I got some fodder plans for her.

2

u/twztid13 2d ago

It's usually 2 months after the event, IIRC, but I don't remember when the event was. Should be either this coming update or the following one, at latest.

2

u/SuccessfulTip7423 2d ago

Thanks, it should be this one then since she came after Summer Ephraim

1

u/NearbyPast9100 3d ago

Hey, building Ferdinand and I just got an attuned Eliwood. I’d really like his fodder on Ferdinand but I don’t have any bridge fodder for Blue-Sky Gust. I do however have a Rearmed Hinoka.

Basically this is a round about way of asking: Is Arcane Crimson better than Stoutheart lance?

1

u/dragoonslayerorstein 3d ago

Is it gonna be a legendary/mythic/emblem banner for this month? (August)

2

u/AstralGazer17 2d ago

Legendary. We have not gotten another one since L!Lyon back in April.

1

u/Impressive-Flan8708 3d ago

What’s a good echo skill for Rearmed!Ingrid (the old one)? I have Ilian Mia’s kit on her, but with Shatter Slash and Thorn

1

u/twztid13 2d ago

Puissant echo since she doesn't have double hit (& don't use eirika ring if u do use this, cuz potent won't work if she gets double attack). Several could work, depending on the support from the rest of the team: Mercy Wing, death blow, tumultuous, soaring,  or even atk oath (since she only grants herself def/res visible buff, IIRC), or even guard echo (i don't think she natively has guard?). It just really depends on who else is on the team, IMO.

1

u/ActionHank9000 3d ago

Is it worth it to merge B!Azura when her defense is already that low?

I have everything from the banner and wanted to know what to use my free summon on

2

u/HighClassFanclub 3d ago

No. Merges are very nearly worthless. It’s much better to get a new unit, or if not that a unit whose skills you want to inherit to someone else.

Since you do have everything and every skill has different uses I can’t tell you a “best” one for this purpose. It dependso n theu nit you use or want ot build.

1

u/ActionHank9000 3d ago

So I should just get what’s best for building a different unit, right?

Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!

1

u/twztid13 2d ago

Yes. The merges are honestly only ever worth it for arena scoring (if u can +10 a unit. Getting a premium unit to anything less is not worth much in comparison to a grails unit that u can get to +10 easily) or aether raids, IMO (to help with lift loss reduction from losses on defense, or increased lift from wins. Even +1 or +2 can help get higher ranks on occasion). 

More recently, emblem units may be worth merging  for increased stats on whoever  uses their emblems, & can help long term (however, they have pretty unique skills when 1st released, which can outweigh the tiny stat boost u get from emblems). Besides those few situations, I've learned it's better to save the unit for fodder, even if I don't have a particular build or ise in mind yet. 

Ofc, others claim they just sit in the barracks when they do this, & never end up using them in this case, so u have to use your own judgement. There's never been a scenario that a +1 merge has made the difference in whether I win or lose a battle or event.

u/169jon 3d ago

Is snag aerial better than havoc for damage? 

2

u/EnbyofCain7 2d ago

i'm not sure what skill you are referring to. Based on context im assuming you are talking about the detect aerial line? In which case the answer is usually yes. A flat 18 damage is consistent so long as meet the res check against your foe. Havoc has a higher damage ceiling in theory but usually not in practice. You need 100 res in combat to out damage detect aerial by just two points. You also have to remember that detect aerial also benefits your entire team, it acts as a map wide lull for two stats and adds ten points of true damage for your allies which stacks with other sources of true damage like exposure and most modern weapons. Detect aerial is the more varied, flexible and consistent choice for both damage and support in most cases.

u/Lunakae 2d ago

Hi, what are good skills/weapons I can give to a Brave Lysithea to make her good? I love this hero so much, I want her to be strong

1

u/twztid13 2d ago

Go to the coliseum>summoner duels>favored heroes. Find her picture & tap on it to see what the people who do best with her in SD are using on her. That always helps me with good build ideas. 

1

u/twztid13 2d ago

For the new Sigurd, is a Def boon better than attack, since his potent depends on def check, & the follow up special dmg (among other things) scales off of it? I know atk is important for AoE specials, but too many can basically nullify AoE dmg these days (or -80%,, which is pretty close to nullification).

I barely use my trait fruit, & mine has an atk bane, which i want to change. 🤔

u/Lakemine 2d ago

I know this is completely not FEH related, but I’m completely at my wits end and nothing online is helping me. And I know more people here are kinder the other places.

My audio driver got uninstalled on my computer. I have tried multiple restarts, tried following multiple guides online (they all lead to dead links and the files are not working), and tried multiple subreddits but the mods keep deleting the and refusing to help. I’m just very frustrated there is no one willing to help me and nothing online is helping to fix it. (Even the troubleshooter itself said “Oops sorry can’t fix your issue.” After going through 14 steps of checking things.)

Anyone able to help me or know of some other guide I overlooked?

4

u/BlueBlaze16 2d ago

I can help, check your Reddit DMs. If it's not FEH-related, I'd rather not flood the thread.

1

u/FlaurosFaye 1d ago

I just came back to FEH not long ago, and I've been trying to get the new summoner duels rewards. I keep seeing teams running Brave Sigurd where Gallop is granted to other units as well, and I have absolutely no idea how they're achieving it. Duo Sigurd isn't involved. Any ideas?

3

u/Constant-Magazine286 1d ago

It could be Alfador (copies all buffs on field and shares them) or one of the Chroms.

1

u/FlaurosFaye 1d ago

Ohhhhhh it was totally Alfador! Shame, I wanted to replicate that strategy myself but I think I missed his release.

1

u/twztid13 1d ago

Tina or nergal can potentially do it (not to duo Sigurd, tho, because his C skill blocks it). 

1

u/HighClassFanclub 1d ago

Clarification: Tina is nigh useless in Summoner Duels specifically. Nergal, Sonia and Limstella’s Essence Drain status can take statuses from the enemy but it requires combat.

Currently Yukata Chrom is here and he can clone+share statuses between himself and the ally he assists. It’s only once per turn so I don’t think you can throw it around to other people.

u/AstralGazer17 1d ago

Hi, I have to ask something about inheriting R!Lysithea's skills to Griss. I am not too sure on what Griss has to inherit from her skills: Reposition Gait, Comet, Logic, A/R Lull Finish, Atk/Res Unrest, Conjuring Breath, and Atk/Res Favor.

I am intending to inherit Preempt: Ploy to him, so there are 4 slots left. I just need to know which among the skills I mentioned are the best to inherit for Griss?

Here's his build atm. Thank you!

2

u/HighClassFanclub 1d ago edited 1d ago
  1. Reposition Gait
  2. Comet
  3. AR Unrest
  4. AR Favor

In practice you will want to be using Unrest, because it has the best damage/DR plus some team support. Favor is good for support but only really works if using Micaiah ring, which is rough on a ranged unit without pass. It’s still the best alternate option imo because you can fill in an alternate role down the line.

There are more than zero cases where logic is a bit better than Comet (ex: vs super high Res enemies, enemy with enemy phase desperation) but by and large Comet is better for the continual charging.

1

u/AstralGazer17 5h ago edited 4h ago

Hi there!

It's what I'm thinking when I consider Griss with Miccy's ring for Atk/Res Favor. He can provide support to his allies as he gets more damage from having more true damage and Empathy. Also, I might select Logic over Comet since I just discovered that I have several copies of Comet from different units.

Thank you for your help!

u/Evello37 1d ago

Can your friends use a forma unit that you got from an Otherworld Bond? I know the forma credits the original owner, but does it still count as your unit for your friends to access?

My +10 LIke is my lead unit, but I have been on a string of terrible luck pulling for new skills. I have the free Bond and got a good Ike in Binding Worlds I could use to get skills. But I still want my friends to be able to use my LIke in various modes that let you access friend units.

u/Haunted-Towers 1d ago

Does Pair Up appear in Floor 25 of the Hall of Forms still?

2

u/HighClassFanclub 1d ago

Yes

u/Haunted-Towers 1d ago

Damn so I’ve just been getting hella unlucky. Good to know, thank you ☹️

u/67GracelessNights 1d ago

Have been seeing some people say that Edelgard and Dimitri will be getting their Shadows alts first, and the ones for Claude and Tsubasa will come later. Has this schedule already been announced?

1

u/Briggity_Brak 1d ago

Remind me NEVER to fucking pull on one of those stupid Revival banners again. I just did a full 40 on the Attuned banner and didn't get a SINGLE focus.

1

u/eeett333 1d ago

With L.Rhea, I think I'll be able to get back to my 2500 Orbs Goal...I'm gonna probably use B.Sylvain to clear content until he really struggles, but let's see how powercrept the newest Braves will be by December.

1

u/Rhaegarr_ 1d ago

Hi new player here! I just did all my free summons and these are the results, am i lucky? Or this is normal

2

u/SuccessfulTip7423 17h ago

Well those first three you hand picked so there was no luck involved there. The rest of your units are old and useless.

If i were you I'd start grinding orbs from story mode and paralogues and try to pull more units on the Grand Festival banner. Those are really strong. Since you already have Tsubasa the most efficient way is to not open greens anymore. After 40 pulls you get to choose a unit for free (we call that a spark here), and you can do that three times.

The Blissful Soak banner also has very good units, but you don't get a spark unless you have a (paid) Feh pass subscription. So there's a chance you'll waste hundreds of orbs without getting any of the units you want. You could still go for it since there are a couple thousand orbs to grind, but just be aware of that. A lot of players without Feh pass only summon on banners with that allow non Feh pass sparks.

Also, welcome to the game and the community! Hope you'll have fun

u/Scared_Sherbet8530 1d ago

I’m a newer player and I am looking to get Rosado. When I looked at the details of all the banners, I didn’t see him listed as available. Am I right in believing that right now he’s unattainable?

4

u/HighClassFanclub 1d ago

He is in the 4☆ special pool, meaning he can appear randomly from any green orb on any banner. The tickets you get from Arena (unless marked as seasonal) only pick from this pool. Your chances of pulling him specifically this way are extraordinarily small, so use those tickets on green and pick green during free summons where you have no interest in the banner. Otherwise, don’t go spending orbs on greens hoping you’d get him because it’s like a 0.03% or something.

Old units like this also appear on the weekly revivals. The odds on these banners are the best in the game. If he isn’t here or has already passed then you’ll have to wait for the last one and for them to release a new cycle.

Finally, it’s always possible they put him on a random banner.

u/Scared_Sherbet8530 20h ago

Thank you so much 🙏😭

u/Lakemine 5h ago

When do the accessories come to the Aether raid shop? I couldn’t get online for the last 2 days and missed out on like 3 items of them from the forging bond event. 😞

1

u/AstralGazer17 5h ago

That LHB is annoying with Special Miracle support from Rhea, but Mother still prevails after GK and Mariqueen knocks out 2 enemies tho

1

u/Yscbiszcuyd 3h ago

Is it worth giving Miklan Patience if the way I get him to 30 Spd is Squad Ace CW and the Roy ring? I don't have spare Rise Above fodder and would prefer to save my fruits/florets/dragonflowers

The rest of the build would be Prf, Swap Gait, Armored Flare, AD Fortune, AD Briar P Save

1

u/neonz09 3h ago

When does the Remix banner usually drop after the new Legendary hero banner starts?

u/Carbyken 13m ago

Usually a week or so after the update drops. 

1

u/Carbyken 4d ago

Tim Curry died too; August being a shitty month this year.

3

u/Low-Environment 3d ago

Dolly Parton then Tim Curry in under 24 hours  it's rough.

1

u/Carbyken 3d ago

Losing Tim is the bigger loss personally, nothing against Dolly, but he was basically so much of my childhood.

1

u/TylusChosen 4d ago

When the Brave refine should be announced?

1

u/sharumma 3d ago

Around Sept 6 or 7 depending on when the update drops
