Is it better to get the hero I want through unlocking potential? Let Heinhardt as the example: A normal 5-star Heinhardt(blue)’s stats: 16, 17, 1, 5, 8; The Heinhardt coming from unlocking potential of a 4-star Heinhardt has higher stats (pls see attached pic). Please advise :D

yw. Freely ask questions here anytime
Thank you very much for your advice!
You can just merge them into the Spd copy. Merging a unit once will get rid of the bane, so no need to use the Trait Fruit. Enjoy your +Spd, no bane, merged Veronica!
Hello! I m a newbie! Please help and advise: I have 3 Veronica, A is a normal lv40 with max skills lv; B is a lv1 with 16, 8, 11, 4, 4 stats; C is a normal lv1 with 17, 8, 10, 4, 4. Since B has a boon in spd but a bane in HP, I would first fully upgrade her to lv40, then merge A into B to pass all skills from A to B, then merge C into her for stat upgrade. Then, when I have 100 trait fruits, I change her bane into Def instead of HP. Is there any step go wrong? Thank you!
Thank you, this helps me out a lot, looks like i may be rerolling.
Hi TweezyJay! You'll be missing out on additional stats that may mean a difference in a fight, both in PVP and PVE battles. This in turn means that your unit's BST is lower and they will be scoring way less in Arena, even if they are merged+10 (BST and merges are calculated separately).
Call me crazy, (I mean I am) but I've been +10 merging my 4 star units. I normally use feathers to get one 5 star unit of them, get the exclusive weapon/skills, then merge them back down with a 4 star unit. What are the major downsides besides losing out on the extra 5 levels.(Basically a +10 4 star is = +5 5 star unit.) Am I making a huge mistake doing this or overlooking something major?
Thanks! I may try to collect 100 trail fruits to revise Fallen Ike’s stats before using dragon fruits on him
Oh misread!! Definitely use a Dragonflower! He's very reliable and its worth investing onto Ike
Thank you. But none of my current 3 Fallen Ike has +spd. 1: 18 24 12 6 7 2: 18 25 11 7 6 3: 19 25 12 6 5 I m quite new to this game. Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks
Merge the HP onto the + Spd and keep the other +Spd for now! It might be useful to have 2 F!Ike s on one map. Then when you get more, make a +5 and onwards. Use the Dragonflower on the main one!
Btw, should I use dragonflower to upgrade a Fallen Ike and then merge 2 other Fallen Ike into him?
All my 3 Fallen Ike are not +spd. Only 1 of them has +Hp and -res, so should I merge the other 2 into him? Thx!
2700 grails!
Sorry I ment that I have one copy as 5* .. and another one as 4* only . Would appreciate any help
How many grails do I need to +10 unit which I have 2 copies of ? Let's say for example ninja hana, (got one copy 5*, and other 2 copies of 4 and 3* respectively)
It'll work! Cooldown count reduction will work first, THEN Time's Pulse.
If i have a character who has a weapon with “Special Cooldown Count -1”, would Time’s Pulse not work on them since they never reach the technical maximum special cooldown count?
Thx too
Thx
I was able to get +7 on dimitri with around 600 orbs so id say its definitely possible
depends on your luck. With high luck, you just might if you just snipe the orbs for that unit. I'd say around 1000-1200 orbs for a 11 copies (+10)
850 orbs enough to get a +10 unit from the summoning pool?
Thank you for pointing this out! We have corrected NY!Lethe's stats :)
Can someone fix this chart for NY!Lethe? The stats are wrong.

keaton is indeed good! I would have merged him up if he was a waifu lol They've been releasing a lot of good free units! If they release a mad waifu who's also strong, that's an automatic +10 merge maxed flowers for me! At the mean time, Hana and Petrine are great candidates
Speaking of 4 Star units, the Keaton alt is very good. I wish I had some grails to create a decent merged up copy.
powerful free and 4 star demotes are required to keep the game healthy especially for f2p players. I hope they continue to release more powerful units of these kinds
That would be a great idea. Really excited to know how the game is gonna advance with the characters, skill, combos etc.. hope the also bring us good 4* units to build.
