Arena Tier 21 Cut-off Score – Earth Season – Fire Emblem Heroes

January 7, 2020December 30, 2019 by Ben

The arena cut-off score has increased considerably since the latest update IS made early December 2019. Starting in version 4.0, players will get +12 points per game as long as they use a bonus hero to defeat at least 1 enemy. Prior to the update, player will get +3 points for every enemy that the bonus hero defeat. Maximum extra points per game remain the same at +12. However, since player has to defeat only 1 enemy with bonus hero, it has negative effect to the overall score.

Since it’s much easier to get the +12 points, the majority of players will get this extra points. The variations come from the base arena team score and how much the player are willing to fish for the higher score. Skill becomes less important in this mode now. The new change benefits less skillful players that invest more money (more wisely) in the game. The armor meta is now making a comeback. As of today, (Duo?) Armor heroes score the highest.

Are You a Whale? Am I a Whale?

October 11, 2019October 9, 2019 by Ben

That’s the typical question that people throw out there in the gacha game forum. Some people tried to categorized using their logic but without any data to back them up. So, I thought that I should investigate a bit on this topic. What is a whale? How do you define a whale in a gacha game? Are those who spend more than $100 considered a whale?

Fire Emblem Heroes: Arena Score Distribution

September 20, 2019 by Ben

I’ve been yoyo-ing between tier 21 and 20 in Fire Emblem Heroes since I first made tier 21 a couple months ago. This week, I thought I gave it a try to make a run to stay in tier 21. I’m not so sure if I can make it or not. Based on the arena … Read more

Fire Emblem Heroes – Reaching Arena Tier 21

July 10, 2019July 7, 2019 by Ben

Since I made it to tier 21 in the Aether Raids mode a few months ago, I decided to set a new goal: tier 21 in Arena mode. Arena mode is actually the oldest competitive mode in Fire Emblem Heroes game. Tier 20 was the original highest tier in the Arena mode which I achieved long time ago. However, IS decided to update the game and added tier 21 as the highest tier. But, I’ve never attempted to get to the highest tier since it was introduced.

FEH Summoner: How lucky are you?

June 18, 2019June 11, 2019 by Ben

Since I got tired of the Gacha (translate: got salty) in Fire Emblem Heroes, I thought I’d spend a bit of my time to investigate the probability and the statistics of my luck on Gacha itself.

There are some summon simulator tool out there that tells us how many orbs we need to summon any 5 star heroes, focus heroes, etc. It even tells us the average orbs needed, median, 90th percentile, etc.

Weary of Gacha

May 30, 2019 by Ben

I’m getting tired of the Fire Emblem Heroes game. It’s not because the game is not good. It’s actually a very good game. The strategy, the characters, the mechanics are good. The presentation is really good as well. It’s the gacha part that I really hate. I really don’t enjoy it. Summoning new heroes is such a nightmare. It drains my enjoyment of the game.
