Just wanted to share the goal with my fellow mortar players! Almost f2p (only bought one pass and was gifted another another one by a friend) and remained loyal to mortar despite all those midladder decks. For those who are below, you can do it!
Hello there! I have built this deirdre forma in the current hof, but I'm undecided about which B skill is best for her: favor, lull finish or conjuring breath. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!
Note: I have already seen builds online for her, like fehlogy and here on reddit, but they suggest those skills and I'm not sure which one to pick.
Today my brother and I were discussing about the most broken characters in feh history, so we decided to make a list about it! This is a list we made together about the strongest heroes in each book when they were released. We both started playing at the start of book 3 when kaden was released. Because of that, we decided not to include books 1 and 2 although we have heard about the meta at those times. Also we have played AR competitively since book 4 and we both have golden thrones, so the list is heavily influenced by AR but arena and SD (and pve to a lesser extent) are also taken into account.
Tiers are ordered more or less and the list is based on our experience. There are a lot of heroes in this game and the tier list is made on our memories so we may have forgotten someone important or you can disagree with us in some aspect (we may have overrated or underrated someone), but please tell me in the comments. Emblem heroes are rated as units and rings.
Book 3: I didn't know much about the game at those times so I will be short about it, but I remember Thrasir to be a really good mage and Altina an unkillable unit. I vaguely remember brave micaiah to be good also.
Book 4: Brave Edelgard was nearly unkillable at those times and had decent movility even if she was armoured. L chrom was a really good nuker with the armour effectiveness. N lyn killed everyone if she initiated. Flayn was insane with her 30% DR drive. D alphonse and H veronica were solid.
Book 5: Powercreep in book 5 was just insane. AR was very repetitive with the same defensive teams all over again. I think everyone remembers what F edelgard did to the game when she came out and there were no counters to her. H catria allowed any nuker to kill any tank with brave attacks and high team movility. I remember how strong volke+catria used to be. Sigurd+nott was just cancer. Then hardy fighter came out and the meta shifted entirely to save balls which were as disgusting as sigurd. Honorable mentions to L byleth and B eirika who stood as counters to F edelgard.
Book 6: What can I say about Elimine, the unit who countered half the meta? I remember people running catria with high Res just to not be shut down by elimine. Then people ran more catrias to evade elimine, but then people ran more elimines to counter more catrias (even in light season). B Chrom and B Seliph became the meta when played together and they were everywhere. Honorable mentions to D Dagr and D Thor for being really good in SD.
Book 7: The list here is short, but powerful. Freyr gets the crown here for hard countering Elimine and eliminating her from existence, while remaining as a good mythic support. L Robin used to be so insanely good that he got hard countered by Ploy. L Hinoka made AR defense flier teams great. D Sanaki was great at killing DR tanks. Fomortiis introduced the -10 stats skills and forced end. L Elincia was good overall.
Book 8: E Ike was like F Edelgard but in book 8 (maybe less impactful than her). D Lyon was toxic having pre combat damage, forced end status and flash, specially in SD and I was glad he got countered. Then came the warp meta with felix, Celica ring, nergal, heithrun and B robin which was really monotone. Mentions to D Y Robin which I felt good when she was released, E sigurd for pve (and good ring), Marni for arena and nidhoggr, byleth and myrrh for being good tanks. I remember PM1 struggling to kill nidhoggr with his f2p team, which shows how good she used to be.
Book 9: Y Camilla is one of the best nukes in feh history and she continues to shine. L black knight was E ike 2.0. L Sakura is the queen of SD and very fun to play casually. E lyn was meta at the start of book 9 with R Leyla and Ymir support. E Eirika ring is one of the best rings even now. The other units here are really good overall. Among CYL9 heroes I chose to include here Baldr because she countered black knight and Sharena because of her action support in AD-O.
Book 10: We made this list when L Lyon was already in the game but we didn't include him or Sombrom because we haven't tested them competitively yet. L Elise is definitely broken with everything she does and counters. Y Edelgard is a really good combat unit. E byleth ring is very powerful with certain units like E Lucina and L Elise and himself as a unit is really fun to use in offensive teams in AR-O. NY Vali is also really anoying to fight. NY heimdallr is great in dark season. D Baldr has not fallen off and is used in SD.
Sorry for the long text but I wanted to share our opinions and, if we forgot about someting, please tell me because I want to expand even further my knowledge about this game. It's alright if we disagree with something! Thanks for reading!
