- Fire Emblem Heroes When To Merge vs. When To Promote!
When to merge units in FEH to a 4*+10 vs. when to Unlock their potential and promote them is the topic of this video! I'll take you through the process I use to consider whether someone deserves to be promoted or if they are better suited as a merged 4 star unit!

![SECRET TECHNIQUES OF SUMMONING| A Guide to the Summoning in [FEH]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MkcMpjsVX_I/mqdefault.jpg)
Objectively, the best Hero to 5*+10 is always going to be your Waifu. Or just your favorite Character in general. 5*+10 Felicia here I come
Well said! :D And Felicia is a nice choice!
I see you are a man of culture as well
Best boi Henry getting op :3
@Sasayaki Words of Wisdom, not much to be said here
Ah, do you have like.. A beginner guide? I just started and I am so confused.
King Destiny, I don't have a full beginner guide, but I am slowly making my way through a series of videos that explain team building to newer players -- and this video is in the series actually :D
I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you may have via the comments here or in my discord, though!
Currently, in FEH meta, Merges are incredibly important to not only strengthen your units but to also score well in Arena/AA. Because of this, I would recommend to 4* +10 units who have no good fodder, doesn't score well in Arena, or is not currently affecting the meta. For example, Hana is an amazing unit to 4* +10 since she doesn't have fodder (LnD 2, Obstruct LUL), she doesn't score well in Arena, and she has Armorslayer, which can be usefui in AA. If you want to 5* +10 her, Soleil would be her ultimate replacement since she can score higher than Hana, has a even better stat spread, and is also available in the 4* pool.
At the end of the day, NEVER 4* +10 who can score well in the meta or who has amazing fodder. If you do 4* +10 a unit, please don't give them DC or Wrath. Put it on your 5* +10 units or units that you know you are going to be using a ton. Overall, great vid!
Deltran, You (and everyone) should check out Akariss FEH channel/Twitch
ruclips.net/channel/UCmI18Yv2CReEAbFrqFrVVgA
He makes really great FEH content and gives great advice to f2p/competitive players. He's amazing! Highly reccomend him to all players (new or whom have played from the start).
I'm a huge fan of Akariss! I lurk on his live streams a few times a week! :3
Small world, I found his team in AA the other day. Tough win!
Im glad I came across this video. Because I'm in a FEH Facebook group where the majority just promotes all their 11 copies of a certain unit to 5 stars before doing the merging and it's a big waste of feathers imo. I prefer going slow and promoting my 4+10 to 5 stars instead of promoting each copy then merging.
Does it matter what level the heroes are when merging, or can I just go ahead and merge when I want?
Question: If you have a 5* hero +10 and merge them to a 4* hero till he/she reaches 4*+10 and then merge her/him to a 5*, will he/she take a big stat boosts or it will be like a normal merge?
Also a lvl 30 gives more stats when merge to an other than a lvl 1?
Road to merging, working on a Reinhardt Project, Finally got a +Atk Reinhardt and that paired with Death Blow and Dire Thunder equals DESTRUCTION!
I actually do think 4* +10 merging can be really useful, but in practice, when I did it for Hana, I just never ended up using her because she didn't show up at the top of my barracks, (sorted by rarity), so I just never used her...
For me it depends on which end of the pool they are in. 5-4 work on the 5 star. (Or if they are exclusive units like TT rewards/legendary weapon.) 3-4 stars usually 4* +10.
Exceptions as you stated are favorites. Also... recording inception bout half way through?!
Don't look at it, its trippy
Hey, just had a thought: would you consider doing a video on your personal Top 5 Heroes to Give Cancel Affinity? The idea would be to use them alongside Maribelle. Could be rare heroes, whatever you feel would be most effective.
Hmmm, that's a thought. I like the idea! I actually have my next 4 videos planned, plus any impromptu opportunities to capitalize on with the Legendary banner and the GHB on Sunday. But I will keep that in mind!
Funny thing, male Robin is my only 5 star plus 10 unit.
He's not a bad choice! But, he's just not for me.
Same. Lol
Once you finish your first team though, you may reach a point where you want to hit higher in Arena. At that point I'd imagine you generally always want to 5*+10 the units you plan to use at that point. Also if you went for a 4*+10 and you suddenly decide you really like them and want to 5*+10.. you've set yourself back 10 copies. (the second point is what stopped me from even trying to 4*+10, because I'm indecisive and I don't really want to waste copies of a unit xD)
On a different note, I just finished my second +10, my Watersweep Reinhardt \o My Eirika is at +9 and I just need another copy to finish her off.
So if you promote a 4*+10 to 5* he will lose the +10?
Yep
How to about promoting for 5 stars and four stars is a combination of how much I like the character, abundance, and viability. My adult tiki is my only 5 ★ +10, but I have Reinhardt at like +7, raven at +4, and Cordelia at +1. But I just have a shit ton a boeys and fredericks so they're 4 ★ +10. (Btw highly recommend 5 ★ +10 dragons if you can because those stats are wild.)
Availability is definitely very important.
Dragons are great to merge at five stars, especially since so many of them also count as trainees.
I would like to eventually 5* +10 as many units as I can so I know that in the long term it'll be a waste of resources. I do have all four movement emblems built as well as units for arena assault so I suppose for me there's no need to merge any 4* units but I can certainly see why you may do it now, I remember the (not so) good old days of finishing training tower cavalry/flier quests with three level 1 units!
How come you're not a fan of Robin?
Yea, training tower use to be such a slog :D
The reason I don't like Robin is pretty unfair, but it's because he was difficult to level due to his lack of damage output against the general training tower population and how much everyone else said he was great when I found him to be difficult :D Logically I know better, but I've never reconciled the thoughts :D
I normally won't merge unless the units are 5 star unless I really need another unit for Arena Assault. For example I have a Bartre that I use but if I'm out of Hardin counters I'll run my merged Frederick. But normally when given the choice I'll either fodder the unit for skills or feathers.
Foddering the unit is still a great use of a hero. I'm just trying to let ppl know that if you are strapped for feathers for any reason then 4*+10 is a good idea to fill out your roster.
Patrick Waddingham Yeah that is definitely the most effective way to play as I've seen with others who play the game. I more just promote each unit, hence my addiction to feathers, maybe fodder some GHB units for skills for my favourites and try to stay in my Arena tier. Oh and also rage at how unfair some of the games GHB's and BHB's are. Like I mentioned with my Frederick since I'm not promoting him for a while he does have a few merges on him from when I was new at the game. If I were to build 4 stars up I'd generally just make them fill a specific niche.
If I have a 4*+10 unit, if I rank them up to 5* is the +10 kept or removed?
The +10 will be removed. You'll get a feather discount on the promotion equal to what you would get if you sent home 10 4* units.
@@PatrickWaddingham thanks so much for the response!
Nice video to come out since I just recently finished my +10 4 Star Sophia!
She is fun to use with merges, isn't she?
How did you build yours?
Deltran Does Games she is fun.
I am currently running a TA raven build with QR, but if I get more close counter fodder that’s not the free Takumi, I’ll definitely make a fun close counter build on Sophia due to her amazing mixed bulk and decent Attack.
How do you actually promote a 4 star to a 5 star. Havent seen that option anywhere.
Exactly I don’t know how to raise the star level and RUclips isn’t picking up what I’m putting down TvT
It’s the unlock potential button in the ally growth menu
Great videos man, i've been playing almost daily since release and consider myself an advanced player, but your videos have some insights I never tought about, while also being very informative and helpful for inexperienced players, kudos to you. You've done a great job so far and you do deserve more viewers.
I have a couple of the same 5 Gold Stars that the game keeps telling me that I can't merge. I have no idea why it refuses to merge them, they are the EXACT same character! I even tried to merge a newly promote a new 5 gold star into my level 40 5 Gold star and it STILL refused to merge.
I have a mindset of not using 3-4* so too bad :/
It's not for everybody, and IS had definitely made the depth of the rarity pool shallow.
Welp, this video came out just a few minutes after you gave me a like in the previous video, where I exposed this very dilemma of mine xD I find it quite ironic adn funny. Also, thank you! I learned something new today!
:) glad I could help you out!!
It won't let me merge my 2 Surtrs. What can be the problem?
I bet the second Surtr is marked as a favorite - remove that and you should be able to merge him
As always great video. I never knew if it was worth merging anything lower than 5* rarity. I'll give it a shot now 😁
Thank you, as always, for the kind words! What unit do you think you're going to try this with?
Patrick Waddingham well I have 8 4*Lukas and quite around 6 Soleil so probably them for now. I've been wasting resources frivolously by always promoting to 5* but now I won't have to 😃.
A 4*+10 Lukas will be great for you. Make sure you find a source for a Slaying Lance+ (or whatever weapon you want) so you an refine it for more def, but that'll be a good unit!
Patrick Waddingham great! I have so many pity breakers and ended up with 4 5*perri so the slaying lance is no problem. Any recommendations for the skills?
Well, a spare Seth will give him the 3rd level of Fortress Def. QR is always good for defensive units like Lukas and is always a fun* use of 20k feathers -- although QR2 is good enough for now. C skills and seals are always a little more personal so I'll leave that to you.
I tried to merge my 5 star level 11 roy with a level 1 Roy of the same name, but it won't let me. Why?
Check and see if the one that you are foddering off is favorited or not - i bet that's the problem
Deltran Does Games I checked and yeah that was the problem.... I'm so dumb well thanks
No problem - that trips so many ppl up.
I’m new and this help me a lot thanks. I didn’t never get into fire emblem until I wanted to try something new. I got Summer Camilla, dance Micaiah , Hinoka blue sky, and a couple more. I really like Camilla and Hinoka so far .
only 1 thing, though i wait to see if they will get a refine or perfect weapon at 5 star first like Felicia, Roy, in case you want It later but can't because 4 plus ten can't merge anymore and you'll be locked out of perf weapon without unlocking potential and losing merges.
You can merge more units into a 4*+10 unit. It doesn't turn +11, but it gets skills from the other copy.
thought I had de ja vu -- ok, :D
Deltran Does Games wait you can still merge into a 4 plus ten? oh, i just assumed you couldn't. that's nice to hear, i was worried about that so was holding off on other 4 plus ten merges.
Yeup, you can merge into the +10. It's nice to change IVs with later on. :D
Surprised you didn't say also that a 4*+10 has the same stats as a 5*+5.
It's funny, actually. I said that a four-star + 10 is equal to a 5 * + 5, but the text read that I 4 * + 5 is equal to a 5 *
So, you know, consistency :)
Hi, I have a couple of questions to ask on this (and they'll probably sound pretty newbie-ish and obvious since I'm still fairly new and inexperienced with FEH and am still trying to figure out how to determine best units, teams, skills, the best time to merge, when to decide to unlock potential on a unit, what strategies to use for different situations, etc. etc. ^^; but even so I gotta ask!), the first of which is, as I have been getting increasingly invested in summoning from banners lately, I have two 5* Edelgards and I wanted to know if I should merge them straight away or not? One is level 40 +atk -spd and the other level 1 +hp -atk. I'm also running out of space now for units as I have lots of 3 stars and 4 stars and am almost at the 300 unit cap but so far I haven't got rid of any units just in case they might be useful for something later on... bc as far as I know they could all be potentially decent 5 stars (but then I wouldn't really know...), so is there any extra advice you could offer me at all on how to determine which 3 stars/4 stars units are worthwhile keeping around and investing in and which ones are safe to send away/good to exchange for combat manuals or feathers??? Ok that's all I really need to ask rn, sorry for the long ass comment and thanks so much in advance if you do decide to help me by answering my questions! 😅🙂
Do you have a FEH video about how to merge the same character with different stats?
Are you talking about which set of Assets and Flaws you should keep? I don't have a specific video, and I don't tend to even put into my videos what bane/boon you "should" have since that's not strictly controllable -- but I'm willing to answer any questions about IVs for any hero, even if I don't have a video for that hero.
Soo I have a 40 lvl dimitri but I have a 1 lvl dimitri I can’t merge them so do I need the lvl 1 dimitri to be lvl 40?
I know how much cheaper a 4*+10 is compared to anything you’ll do with a 5*, but I gotta see those golden 5 stars, idk why. Except with Olivia and Bartre for some reason I can stand to look at silver stars. It’s a good thing I enjoy 5*+10 projects I guess.
Oh, yea, I use my 5* a lot more than my 4*+10 even. I just can't pull myself away. Although, when I suddenly remember I have my merges I feel like It's christmas. :D
Oh, I didn't even see this video when commenting on your other one. 4*+10 is great for people that want to build a lot of units imo as it saves a ton of feathers. A 4*+10 with a 5* weapon at the most will cost you 42,000 feathers if every merge started at only 3*. Whereas a comparable 5*+5 would cost 100,000 more. Hopefully someday IS will let us keep merges when promoting in case you wanted to change your mind about going 5*+10. Luckily I haven't had any regrets thus far. Though at one point I wished my adult Tiki was 5*+10.
I didn't realize what video you were come ting on at first, lol
And ATiki is the first hero I turned from 4 star merged to 5 star.
So although we turned it into a 5 star it reduces it back to its base 4 stats. Oof.
Can you give like a five example of each color to 4 * + 10. You can make for different videos just a suggestion
Hehe, well I was going to make a few videos on different heroes to make as a 4*+10 hero, and so I made this one ->> ruclips.net/video/Xgpvb_aw6D0/видео.html where I talked for 5min before showing only 3 units of 10 minutes... Since that was crappy to do to ppl, I then made THIS video: ruclips.net/video/TUzRKOlQu9g/видео.html where I go over 5 units of each color in just 10 minutes :D So enjoy!
4*+10? I got this lol. In no particular order.
Red :
Palla, fantastic unit but a bit too balanced, merges fixes most of her issues and can make her an absolute monster, here's an example cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/106626495857844224/472999583350390815/Screenshot_20180720-220114.jpg
Adult Tiki, unless you make her part of your team will do well enough as a 4*+10, if you score high in arena you might 5* a copy and merge her down into her so she gets Breath of Fog, overall much cheaper alternative.
Hana, solid red unit, has armor slayer can become a pretty solid armored unit counter in AA when in a pitch.
Tharja, as she doesn't score well in arena to begin with unless you really love her, she's amazing as a 4*+10 with Rauorblade, even without hte + the merges will help her have a bit more bulk just enough to hit desperation easier so you can use that juicy bladetome more consistently.
Chrom/Marth both of these needs you to 5* one of the copies to pass the falchion down through a merge, Marth is just a really solid character as a whole and becomes a really good universal buffer, useful for both leveling up units or specific buffing team comps for AA, Chrom can be a solid sword counter with swordbreaker and deal with characters like Ayra which other sword units might struggle with, even at +10 Ayra can and will die if you have a 4*+10 Chrom with ATK+ and Fury, which is kind of a feat, considering you need at least 60ATK to get her KOed in one round consistently.
Do note Chrom, Marth and Adult Tiki all can score equal to Soleil, so if you want to make a merge project, go ahead. They do need DC though, while Soleil doesn't.
Blue :
Oboro, solid unit can become a mixed tank unit pretty commendingly, especially with Berkut's Lance and/or Slaying Lance.
Lukas, one of your best possible walls, fantastic unit for Arena Assault, better than Oboro at dealing with characters like Ayra and such, prefers slaying lance comboed with bonfire if you use a breaker, ignis if using quick riposte
Est, literally the incarnation of fuck all fodder, she's an amazing brave lance unit, with little to no skill inheritance hits 60ATK with it and can use the DEF Ploy seal on top of it pretty well.
Nowi, this one is a bit debatable if you REALLY want to 5*+10 her go for it it's better, but if you have little to no interest, work on her, fantastic unit to use as a 4*+10.
CorrinF, likewise to Nowi honestly, you can make her a mixed tank as a 4*+10 pretty well, if not you can make her one of the better DEF tank, depends on what niche you wish to do.
Bonus meme, Mae, SPD+ and merges lets her be pretty quick and gives her more bulk to deal against DC/dragons when required with blarblade, pretty solid unit overall. Do go RES- to maximize her bulk, unless you prefer the res for ploys.
Green :
Fae, reason similar to Nowi, again, if you wish to use her in your core, do so she does score decently well, otherwise this is another good option, solid blue dragon counter in AA or blue mage, if you even find those.
Beruka, she. is. Insane. Let me just link you to a video I made with her, you'll see for yourself how stupid she gets. ruclips.net/video/i8icm5vPQ-E/видео.htmlm4s Absolute monster of a unit.
Cecilia, wouldn't score well so this is relatively safe especially since she has no fodder to speak of(no raven tomes are dead moving on) Budget option but still a fantastic Gronnblade user especially in AA' definitely still useful for PvE content.
Bartre, Another absolute wall just like Beruka, but with less accessible support, that said, hammer is fantastic and lets him obliterate Effies, Hardin and such, a fantastic counter unit for AA to be sure.
Frederick, another tank wow seeing a pattern here, but also a fantastic brave axe unit, just like bartre btw, this guy can hit 60ATK with horse buffs and deathblow with a brave axe and also has bulk to take hits, can definitely make use of brash assault if you want to go that route.
Colorless,
Virion "what the fuck virion sucks" Brave bow + ATK+ lets him hit 47ATK brave bow unbuffed, which breaks quite a few things, his health pool also hits 47 and he still has 24DEF on top of it, bulky as shit. His res leaves to be desired tho, so be careful.
Leon, likewise to Virion except a bit more damage to speak of, that said he has ignis so Virion is cheaper in copies, but don't let that fool you.
Kagero with merges can be pretty useful as a damage unit as well, mostly with Barb Shuriken.
Saizo can be a fantastic Smoke dagger user especially with skills like watersweep to deal with dragons.
Literally every healer and their mother. All of them. They don't score well so building them tends to be a dud unless you like them so you can build them as pain+ users, also Clarine stands on top for the most broken stat spread overall able to reach staggering amounts of....well everything.
Thanks for making my videos useless, Jay. :P
Kidding, thank you for all of the great suggestions! Some differ from mine, but merging those units is a fantastic way to round out your roster with units you didn't know you needed.
To be fair, there's plenty more I could point out but was trying to avoid those with pref weapon, as those tend to be a bit more costly than what you're expecting. I DO have a good 30-40 4*+10s lol, For instance 4*+10 Titania is good, but 5*+10 can score the same as a 5*+10 Soleil so....yeah
I enjoy your videos alot.
Thanks! I needed this.
I'm extatic I was able to help out so timely!!
Why did Ryoma make a lion sound?
He’s clearly a lobster
You wouldn't BELIEVE how hard it is to find a lobster sound board!
Fair enough
Why can’t I merge my level 37 dimitri and my level 1 dimitri
Roderick i have it in 5 stars in a free summon once and level up only to level 25
Roderick is pretty cool, but i do prefer fire sweep lance in other hands.
If you 4* +10 a hero and unlock its potential to 5 star, can you convert those merges into the 5 star unit that you’ve already maxed out? (Same unit but without merges. Completed set etc)
As a f2p playing since day 1, with 14 5* +10, more than 300 5*, 52 crowns and 20 thrones, I think I can help with some tips:
1 - build Alphonse, Anna and Sharenna 5* with refine for bonus;
2 - build at least 3 units with 170 bst: as f2p units, the no brainer are Shenna +spd, Gwendy +spd and V! Eliwood (175 bst). Other good options (but you will need A slot 170 bst): Aversa, Camilla, Cherche, Est and Caeda.
3 - Kill 5* for max build. My team 5*+10 can do anything, because the premium slots like VF and DC.
4- to fight for T21 in arena, will you need a bonus with merges: it's a good idea build 4*+10 inside the rotation units, they can fight without problems.
5- promote your more useful units: units like Nowi and Hawkeye are very useful for AR - but no one can beat a M! Corrin +10 with refine for cheerleader!
6- promote anti armor, anti dragon and anti fliers and confer blessing to them: for AA, even with all changes, they are very useful - Merric is a great example, not really great, but very useful against Flying Zura.
7 - Build and promote the units you love: any +10 with the right build can be powerful!
8 - More merges: focus on units with high bst for merges, because you'll need them for Thorr fights.
9- Never promote 4* units +10 with premium slots and/or without the rotation units!
My units +10: Cecilia, W! Cecilia, Rein, Gwendy, Sheena, Draug, Effie, Camilla, Aversa, Naesala, Olivia, M! Corrin, Nowi and Hawkeye.
I have 3 hectors 5 stars anyway I can merge them? None of them were 4* I just got “lucky” and got them from a summoning
I've always wondered... Why not rename your channel "Deltran" or something similar?
Also... Have you ever heard the album Deltron 3030? It's a hip-hop concept album set in the distant future.
Well, the google account this channel is attached to is actually apart of my personal online account. Every once in a while I get closer and closer to the idea of actually just changing it, but I havn't done it yet. Maybe it'll happen sometime :D
Also, yes! I love that album! Deltran wasn't inspired by Deltron 3030 but I've made a few friends in online games just because of the name. :D
There.
Did it.
I hope. You're. Happy...
Hey man, hope you have a great day 👍
And yeah, it's a great album. Glad you like it.
Holy crap, you did it! That's gonna make it easier (I think) for new people to find you by just searching "Deltran." 👏
Aninymouse been wondering the same thing myself! The first deltron is my favorite album of all time!
What if I feel really attached to the 4 stars cos I might need them for skill inheritance? XD
Cuban Sharpshooter™ unlock potential works
I need to know if I upgrade a 4*+10 to a 5* will it be a 5*+10 or just a 5*
What m robin is amazing he tanks all colorless and almost all reds well mine does. I remember running the infernal black night tt he was soloing the whole 7 rounds my feelings ia hurt lmfaoo
Well, I apologize to you.
Not to robin, though.
I am 5*+10 Eirika.I am at 5*+2 right now.-HP +SPD
I have a buddy who made his Eirika +10, and he loves her. So good choice!!
Do i need to lvl up the same character and the merge them?
No, the ones you merge together don't need to have to be at any specific level. If you have a lvl40 hero you want to keep and a lvl1 copy of that hero, you can just merge the lvl1 into the lvl40.
One thing to note, if you prefer the asset/boon that the lvl1 hero has over the lvl40, you can merge the lvl40 into the lvl1 hero instead -- but the levels don't transfer over so the resulting hero will be lvl1 with 1 merge.
Thanks and do i need to make the 3* to 4* to have the +1? When i combine them?
YES, when you merge heroes together, the one you are sacrificing must be the same star rarity (or higher) than the one you are keeping in order to get the + to merge count.
Deltran Does Games i have 2 of the same lucina 5* 1 lv40 and lv1, i put lv40 on enhance and lv1 on lose but it has a big red X on it. It doenst work pls help
Your Lucina you want to fodder is marked as a favorite. Remove the heart from her in her stats screen and you should be good to go!
I can't merge two 5 star Quans. Dunno why
Both are tagged as a favorite. Go into the stats screen for the one you want to burn, and remove the heart from it.
@@PatrickWaddingham Ok thanks it worked
@@elizabeth.5749 i laughed cuz i had the same issue and figured it out just before seeing this
Questionable advice. I would never merge 5* units unless 1) they have no skills worth inheriting, 2) they are part of your arena core, or 3) you get a better IV and the original has expensive skills inherited.When considering your arena core you want to create 5*+10 units that score well and that you can actually get 11 copies of. You have mostly low scoring merged 5* units yet you made 4*+10 out of the highest scoring units (armors). Makes no sense to me. This game is pretty easy so aside from arena scoring, unmerged 5*s are fine to complete all content.
Thank you for pointing out several things that I gloss over in this video.
I intentionally don't talk much about arena scoring in this video because I have another video on my channel that talks about just that topic! I would actually love your critique on it, so I hope you watch it!
I hinted at availability briefly in the video, but I should have made it a larger part. I think it is less of an issue with how the summoning pools are now but there is no guarantee they won't become just as fragmented in the future as they were a few months ago.
Also, please don't mistake a 10min video for deep knowledge of my play situation for a year and a half! I'm very aware Draug and Gwen are good scoring units and would be well suited as 5* +10 units. But when I first made them I had barely any feathers or orbs to my name! They served me well in the early months of the game and I couldn't think of a better use of those units than to make the bulwark they became when I merged them at 4*.
I can relate to the feather drought early on in the game's life. I regret merging my Marth at 4* since now with his weapon refine I would love to get him to 5*+10 (especially since he can support bonus units in arena for the extra points that will be available after the next update).
I still think that if you are going to claim the video is a guide for merging for new players, you need to mention arena scoring and availability (and thus Draug, Gwendolyn, and Sheena being the prime candidates for 5*+10. And I say that as someone who only has dragons at 5*+10! ) :)
Oof on the Marf. I didn't make mine until after the refinement came out.
You make a great point concerning omitting the scoring aspects of units and the effects of 4* vs 5*. I was originally writing the notes for the video assuming that the player wouldn't merge the 5* unit they made much, but since I can't dictate who watches the videos leaving that info out was an error on my part.
Thanks for pointing it out, brandobond - you're input was very valuable!
My armor emblem team is Fallen Hardin, Fell Robin, and Black Knight. Should I 4*+10 my Effie(+2 currently) or promote her to 5*? Should I wait to get Amelia or use 1 of Sheena/Gwendolyn/Draug instead of Effie?
Wait units with SI still retain the inheritance after merging into one without inheritance? Wow I really wish I knew that before
Yea, it's awesome, isn't it! Hope you don't feel too set back!
Deltran Does Games Now I finally don’t have to deal with a -atk +def Sword Lyn I have so many IV’s to change now!
I had one of those! They're terrible, aren't they!?
You know 5* heroes are unable to merge
They can, you have to remove the auto favorite they have
You're quite on a video roll, huh?
I never use 4* merges, it just feels kinda wrong to me. Like you're missing out of their full potential.
Even though I've got no 5*+10.
I do feel like doing this is a nice idea for new players that need a placeholder unit. Like if they need a blue tank, they could 4* merge a Gwen while waiting for a unit like Hardin.
For me, I've been playing daily from day one (not always active, but always logging on at least) And thus I've got more than enough 5* to not need to bother.
I always wanted to be a 3 videos a week kinda guy :) just couldn't get a move on over the past few months. Also, I think I burnt myself out on build videos a little...
Can't force yourself to make build vids all the time.
I do like those vids, but these are a nice change of pace.
Hopefully you'll get to grove build back for Walhart.
I have already been gearing up to make a video for him! I'm just conflicted as to whether or not I want to release it on Sunday or Monday. I guess I will let my production process answer that question for me.
Ah, fun!
I dunno why, but the GHB heroes always intrigue me.
Maybe because villains are generally pretty cool.
I'm a pretty big fan of the bad guys as well. Makes me wish they were easier to merge
i merged down a random 5 star corrin and roy to 4 plus ten them with their prf weapons and since I'm not done later if i find a good iv i can merge into the new boon if i want
That is one of the nicest things about the 4 star merge, you can easily get more opportunities for boons.
Deltran Does Games only 1 thing, though i wait to see if they will get a refine or perfect weapon at 5 star first like Felicia, Roy, in case you want It later but can't because 4 plus ten can't merge anymore and you'll be locked out of perf weapon without unlocking potential and losing merges.
But you can merge more units into a bustang unit. You don't get any more merges added to it, but the skills and stuff like that do transfer over still.
I have 13 Florinas, what should I do with them?
I will admit that I am not good with units like her. I don't like their average stats. One of the reasons why I'm not a big fan of Camilla actually. However, that does mean that every stat point you give her is going to be something she will use. Even though her resistance is her standout attribute she needs to have more speed to actually be a tank, and without distant counter it's also pretty useless in my opinion. So she would, but I think that's way too much effort to put into her because she needs a lot of support keeping her around makes a lot of sense to me, but if you want to make it unit out of her just go ahead and throw it with the IV of your choice and have fun! Like I said though she does need a lot of support but she can basically do whatever the heck you want her too when she is buffed
PS: text to speech did a number on this one so if it came across unintelligible or insulting I am very sorry
Deltran Does Games Thanks man
No problem! Hope it helped!
This is a very good florina build that I might actually make:
5 star +10
+def -spd
Berkuts lance +def
Any support of your choice
Iceberg
Distant counter
Quick riposte
Def ploy
Close def seal
She will become an amazing ranged tank and very good physical tank
(Swap close def for Iote’s shield if you want to tank arrows)
Thank you, Bright Shrike, for showing us a build!! I love it when Killers share their stuff! Looks good, too!
Thanks for this video dude. I know I am 7 months late, but I have 20,000 and Idk what to do. 🤔
I feel like 4* merges are kind of a waste... I'd just rather always promote them to 5*. I mean if u rly don't care about the unit then be my guest but I just personally wouldn't do it
4* merges arn't for everybody. I don't want to beat the topic to death, but I figured a video on the advantages of both would be a good idea. I mean, play as you will, it's just a game. #justkidding #fehislife
A 4 star plus 10 merge is still weaker then a 5 star merge plus 1
Severa 5*10 working on it.
I’m confused -3-
What can I help you out with?
