Just another amazing website
A while ago, I got my brother to start playing Fire Emblem Heroes.
When I encouraged him to play Aether Raids, something interesting happened.
I didn’t know that if you’re in a low tier of Aether Raids, you get a massive fort level advantage.
That leads to really amazing stats!
Just take a look at these screenshots of his units. Note that they aren’t merged, because my brother is also free to play, by the way. They are also not summoner supported.
Looking back on the year 2019, we’ve gotten a ton of new heroes. As a free-to-play player, I haven’t spent a single penny on the game. So far, I’ve reached tier 21 in Arena, top 1k in allegiance battles, and tier 27 in Aether Raids.
The only thing I haven’t done so far is reach top 1k arena assault… I’ve only managed to reach about rank 1,500, so I’m still a little ways off.
In this article, I will give my reasoning as to why I chose to summon them, and my thoughts on their gameplay, along with what their purpose is in my collection.
Most of the units which I summon are only used for the Arena Assault if they aren’t used on my core teams for Aether raids.
In the year 2019, I mostly stuck to summoning on the legendary banners, as they were the most value for your orbs.
Unlike a lot of the top-tier free-to-play players, I do not want to fodder my only copy of a unit—I still haven’t foddered any of my 5* units in which I have a single copy of, no matter how bad they are.
Because of the large amount of heroes I got during the year 2019, I’ve decided to break this article into many parts. This article will only contain units which I’ve received in January 2019.
Most of the time, I use the unit for a bit, like the tempest trials, but after that, I rarely use them again after that point if they are “too weak” in my eyes. Every hero has their own use, and all of them can be used for PVE content (like using in the training tower),in squad assaults, or in the blessed gardens.
But for PVP-type purposes such as the Arena, highly-merged units are required, with suboptimal builds. Movement assist skills are much better gameplay-wise than playing with rallies.
I feel that I should use my units that I’ve gotten more often. However, I don’t really “feel” like using them mainly because my go-to teams are already set in place. Additionally, with my huge collection of 5* heroes, it’s hard to go around and use everyone because the game modes restrict your formation to only a handful of units, and since these aren’t highly invested, I don’t use them too often outside of the AA or other multi-map battles.
Ever since the Allegiance Battles game mode came out in Fire Emblem: Heroes, and I’ve successfully summoned a pair-up hero, I’ve been scoring in the top 1k most of the time.
As of December 22, 2019 (the previous week), the base score you need to achieve top 1k is: 744. If you have 742 (2 point difference), then you will not be in the top 1k.
The score floor will likely to increase in the future. To achieve the score needed to achieve top 1k, you need:
This will result in a score of 979, in which I ranked about 740 out of 1000.
Here’s a screenshot from the current week (12/23/2019 – 12/30/2019):
Just before the latest update to the arena scoring system, I was maintaining tier 20.75, where I was able to maintain tier 21 on most weeks, but sometimes, I dropped back to tier 20.
However, after the new changes where if the bonus unit gets one kill, you get 12 bonus points occurred, my tier has been downgraded to tier 20.5.
Note: I am still F2P btw and haven’t spent a single dollar on the game.
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?
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
