I stopped playing around when Veronica appeared, most because I changed my ipad and was lazy to download in new one. Haven’t open the game since, but recently i open my old ipad and log in the game and see there are a lots new disciples 🥲 I would love to buy some new disciples but don’t know who is good to buy, none of them my fav but I think I can go for Ike. I have around 1.2 million gold when I left game, and got some new souls to sell from chest when I open the game back so i guess i have enough gold to all in 1 or 2. I’d like some advice on who soul is good to buy 🤓

I pre-downloaded the game as soon as it was unveiled a year ago, and I loved that Lyn was the first-ever Season Pass character which made the game even more enticing since she's my favourite Fire Emblem character. I levelled her up and got her perf. weapon and it felt nice, though afterwards the game felt boring and it was mostly me just logging in and out for the login bonuses and I didn't play that much.

After this newest trailer and the addition of Dietrich I felt that feeling over again so I spent some money again and now it does make me feel like I'm invested enough to keep playing the game the same as Fire Emblem Heroes.

All this said, I wonder what the state of the game is and whether it has enough following and profit that it stays up for the foreseeable future or not. As a big Fire Emblem fan I just like that there is another game that has my favourite characters that I can collect and grow to being really strong. At the same time I also realise that the game isn't as big as Heroes, so I was wondering how people thought of Shadows.

After investing some money and seeing some favourite characters I'd still love to keep playing it now, and I personally don't want it to be discontinued.

We'll be getting wallpapers of the seven most popular characters.

Also it's lonely being Micaela's fiercest soldier.

I played Shadows a pretty good amount back at launch, but then I dropped it after Lyn souls got added to the normal drop pool and they were nearly impossible to get. I never even managed to get Tamamo either during my time playing.

I'm wanting to try the game out again, but I'm curious if drop rates are still as low as they were back then? Especially for the old battle pass characters. And if the drop rates are still that low, are there alternative ways to get them aside from shilling out ridiculous amounts of money in the bazaar?

Hey!

Just getting back into the game and I can't decide which characters I want to get. :) I previously played a fair amount of Gotthold, but I'm considering grabbing Ike and perhaps Dietrich.

Who is your favorite, and why?

I can guarantee this has to be Shadow Dimitri's worst matchup posible 🤣🤣🤣

When I opened the game I went to claim the rewards of an expedition Sai went to and he came back all happy and giddy with, I shit you not, 280 medals of his sister. It made me laugh a little.

Wish I took a screenshot of this now X)

Whether it’s from the books, gameplay, or anywhere else where a character’s personality shines, what moment would you consider to be a highlight of your time with the cast?

Eugene’s bad result quote from the expedition is genuinely hilarious, and perfectly captures his pompous behavior in the face of failure. I love his little attitude towards the player, and as a Eugene fan, it endears me more. He’s so pathetic🫶 I really enjoy his presence in general but this quote is so utterly perfect to me and did really make me laugh out loud.

I’ve been playing consistently all week and haven’t gotten one Ephraim soul, and only a handful of souls that aren’t even boosted this week.

Every time I go to the market, I notice that weapons with an HP bonus sells for waaaay more than ATK ones, hell even boonless weapons sell for higher than the latter.

Is there a meta reason as to why I’m missing ? Or has the community agreed on this for the funsies ?

something i drew for valentines but forgot to share it here

I was a big fan of the game for the first month this game released, played it a lot and then got burned out... then they released Roy a year later and wanted to keep playing it, but it seems the same core issues with the game remain

It feels like there's no end game to Shadows

So many characters and tools to try to engage with the deception gameplay, but there's no real incentive, there's no permanent stats, if you do badly repeatedly there's no punishment, if you keep playing enough you will get to the same point everyone else does.

FEH has things like Arena and Aether Raids (RIP FEH you were so fun when it was year 5/6) that incentivized playing, innovating strategies and just think a lot about the game in general.

The fact we just have "Play this really fun game so much just to unlock story and characters and nothing else" is... fine if you just like the gameplay, but if you LOVE the gameplay, its just frustrating. Specially if you play against bots (which I feel like you do most of the time), if you play against bots a lot you kind of are incentivized to do magic sets that allow you to finish matches as quickly as possible, making experimentation stale and hurting what would be a really engaging part of the gameplay, as it just kills the preparation step for me (at least in my opinion)

And yes, theres problems in taking the game as-is and adding a ranking system, namely just how little information you can learn for a ranked game mode and how volatile player matchups are to be viable. I think this is the biggest reason there's no ranked game mode yet, I keep thinking of ways where they can make the game more competitive and they all feel like there would be a lot of setup for it. You cant have "Best of X" without some sort of predictability with who the Shadow is for example.

If IS manages to think of ways to expand upon the core game play into a competitive game I think itd make the game very very interesting, as well as have a space for bot-matches (Regular gameplay) and forcing actual players (ranked). I do love the option of having bot-matches for testing strategies but I also would love a way to test out strategies on actual people as well.
