Elm should be playable

No, it will only keep the currently equipped skills plus the hero's base kit.

Does a Forma Unit keep additional skills it learned the first few rounds even if I overwrote them ? Asking for after I used the Forma at the end of the event to create the champ. Ty

There was a bug where their builds weren't showing up. We've fixed that bug and their pages should be good to go. Thanks for bringing it up!

Some game modes provide Refining Stones as a reward. You'll need to play those in order to obtain them. Whenever you use Refining Stones to refine a non-exclusive weapon, an equal amount of Divine Dew is then added to your inventory. Divine Dew can then be used to refine exclusive weapons.

445 Anonymous Anonymous over 3 yearsReport

Just started game, why can’t I refine a weapon for hero’s path? Only a handful of characters show the option to, but I don’t have the SP or any divine dew and don’t know how to get it without refining.

444 Anonymous Anonymous@Game8 over 3 yearsReport

You're right, we missed updating his rating when his refine came out. We've adjusted his rating to 9.0 to reflect his new refined weapon.

443 Anonymous Anonymous over 3 yearsReport

Winter Ephraim's refine was also pretty good, he's worth more than 8.0. He became one of the best near save with better conditions and a brave weapon.

You're right. We missed updating Sumia when her refine was released; we had her at 8.5 but forgot to change it. We changed it just now to reflect her new rating. Thank you for pointing it out!

440 Anonymous Anonymous over 3 yearsReport

Just a quick question: Sumia is considered as a 8.0 unit, but with her refine, she comes with Canto 2, a better Wings of Mercy, she has a very good Spd even if she's a gen 2 unit and she can get up to +9 Atk/Spd. She can be a really good Galeforce unit and can be useful in Hit and Run tactics. I recommend at least raising her to 8.5, or even 9.0.

439 Anonymous Anonymous@Game8 over 3 yearsReport

Hardy Fighter is a great skill and definitely worth obtaining for a tank unit with a Savior skill.

438 JoshuaZ JoshuaZ over 3 yearsReport

Okay, sounds good! I would also suggest considering Legendary Nanna as a 9.5 since she is the only unit who not only ignores non-special DR (e.g. Deadeye, Lethality) but stops specials also such as Pavise and Escutcheon which can be combined with Hardy Fighter. I am actually leaning towards using Hardy Fighter with Pavise/Sacred Cowl/Escutcheon/Aegis to deal with the growing number of DR-ignoring skills, instead of additional DR-stacking on the B slot like Dragon Wall.

437 Anonymous Anonymous@Game8 over 3 yearsReport

We did our Tier List update today. We've seen (and used) enough of Medeus to promote him to 9.5, and we've demoted Brave Ike to 9.0. Yen'fay is a strong hero, but we believe he isn't in the 9.5 tier as of now. This may change, though, as we are looking at him for the next update.

436 JoshuaZ JoshuaZ over 3 yearsReport

I would suggest making Yen'fay a 9.5 if Brave Ike is going to be one. They are both the only units with weapon-based DR that applies on both phases for all attacks (1st and 2nd+). While BIke reduces an extra 40% against consecutive attacks with a cooldown boost, Yen'fay's DR applies to AOE specials plus he gets built-in Distant Counter freeing his A slot. Furthermore, Yen'fay has drastically better Spd/Res to stack more DR through Spurn/Spd Smoke 4/Vital Astra, while BIke has a few more Def

435 JoshuaZ JoshuaZ over 3 yearsReport

I have had 3 of 4 successes defending in AR since I included Medeus with BHector/AIdunn as backed up by 3 Elimines (courtesy of the Mythic Banner) and Plumeria, what is great is he acts as the Defensive bonus unit. He protects key units from Bolt Tower damage and is a great unit with Elimine protection, although I am still unsure how useful Canto Control is. It might be more useful in Summoner Duels than AR.

434 Anonymous Anonymous@Game8 over 3 yearsReport

It's still too soon to see Medeus' impact overall, especially in AR-D where he's expected to be used as a Dark Mythic. We are looking into his rank as we speak. If we had to decide now, he would be a 9.5, but we'll wait until we've seen him enough before we potentially promote him.

433 JoshuaZ JoshuaZ over 3 yearsReport

I'd argue Medeus is an improved Brave Ike, and BIke is a 9.5. BIke gets weapon-based dmg reduction so he can stack more from his B skill, but is vulnerable to Deadeye/Lethality. However Medeus with his much higher Atk/Def/Res stands a chance of taking Deadeye hits BIke cannot. BIke gets reduced cooldown but Medeus stops foe followups, gets a followup, buffs himself/allies, debuffs foes, and grants team out of combat dmg protection. Medeus even has adaptive dmg against ranged foes for dist cter

432 JoshuaZ JoshuaZ over 3 yearsReport

Actually I think there's a good case for Medeus being a 9.9 given his rank 1 Res/rank 5 Atk/rank 51 Defense, and his stats are a perfect match for AIdunn aside from lower speed anyway. He gets built-in 60% damage reduction similar to BIke/VGustav to go with guaranteed follow-up while stopping foe follow-ups. And he provides an Elimine effect by providing En Garde and Atk/Res 6 to allies within 2 spaces. Canto Control + Def/Res Ideal 4 make him arguably the best non-tank tank in the game.

431 JoshuaZ JoshuaZ over 3 yearsReport

Also, I am recommending Medeus as a 9.5. He is the single most valuable unit in Aether Raids Defense now for his team protection against Bolt Tower (I believe the only out of damage protection) and Canto Control. His Attack/Defense/Resistance are at a level comparable to AIdunn and FEdelgard. He has one of the best B skills, granting a guaranteed follow-up and up to 60% damage reduction. And that's in addition to the broad buffing/debuffing he does while stopping foe follow-ups.

430 JoshuaZ JoshuaZ over 3 yearsReport

No problem. I notice Legault has a new weapon also that you don't have listed which might merit a boost to 8.5 also.

429 Anonymous Anonymous@Game8 over 3 yearsReport

Thanks, we fixed the description of Flower Lance.

428 JoshuaZ JoshuaZ over 3 yearsReport

Also, your 5* lvl 40/Adjusted for skills pages don't load at all now. And the page I said shows dbparseerror in the text still shows it.

427 JoshuaZ JoshuaZ over 3 yearsReport

Sumia's page does not show her refined weapon description correctly, perhaps her weapon was updated? She also gets built-in Wings of Mercy and Atk/Spd +4 from her refine than is shown, so you may also want to consider upgrading her to an 8.5 given her improved weapon.

426 Anonymous Anonymous@Game8 over 3 yearsReport

Thanks, we've updated it. It looks like the cache did not update itself.

425 JoshuaZ JoshuaZ over 3 yearsReport

Also, I would suggest automatically sorting both lists by the total category by default.

424 JoshuaZ JoshuaZ over 3 yearsReport

Ascended Idunn is missing from the rankings for 5* lvl 40 units, both with and without skills... which is important since she'd actually be top-ranked in the game on both if included. https://game8.co/games/fire-emblem-heroes/archives/267462 https://game8.co/games/fire-emblem-heroes/archives/267466
