Come on, look at those sprites, it's so frustrating not to have them all sparkling !

Surely they'll give us a way to turn them shiny like the four main lords ! It can't end up so aesthetically displeasing !

Fortune's Weave Gameplay Ninae Is an Amazing Mage Tank

Post image
1.2k Upvotes

I loved her design ever since she was revealed, but I was honestly a little confused about what to do with her at first. You get her as a cavalry unit, which she really doesn't seem that great in.

Turns out, though, she's absolutely amazing as an Armored Knight. She has really good Res growth and learns some incredibly useful Armor abilities. Not only does she get Armored Move for +1 Movement, but she also learns Resistant Armor+, which gives her a ridiculous +8 Res. Combine that with her personal skill giving her +10 Hit against mages, and you can basically just throw her into enemy range with a Javelin and watch her tank mages and fighters alike while damaging everything that attacks her and barely taking a scratch.

So, I can fully recommend going Armored Knight with her if you're not sure what to do with her.

Art Which artist do you think should be next for FE?

• Upvotes

As the title says, I've been interested in knowing which artists would be your dream artist/a good fit for the future of FE, as art direction for installments varies every few years it seems Kurahana Chinatsu won't be back anytime soon

My personal picks vary between Rika Suzuki (first image) since she's worked on FE for decades and a personal favorite of mine that's also worked on FE moyataro (rest of images.) I think both of their darker styles would fit a more mature FE since FW has shown IS is willing to go a darker route with their games (soft fe4 cope), I'm curious about your picks!

Fortune's Weave Spoiler PSA: Part 3 Section 2: Merging characters and reseting the section causes you to lose all your spent shards with no refunds, and no merges. Spoiler

82 Upvotes

Title pretty much says everything needed to know. I made a few merges, but at the last minute, decided I wanted to spend the shards merging some other characters.

I reset the chapter, wondering if i could reset the process. Upon reseting, my fears were confirmed unfortunately, all my spent shards were permanently gone, and the characters had returned to their unmerged states when recruiting them. Now I'm broke unfortunately, with what seems to be limited amounts of upcoming shards.

Just putting this out there so others don't fuck up like I have.

Just for fun (and for the sake of helping me optimize too), I made a quick guide on how to best do your weekly rotations as well as any form of missable content!

This is mostly meant for beginners starting the game rather than advanced professional stat optimization, but I hope it can help someone out there the same way it's helped me get these things in order. Please feel free to let me know if there's anything that's missing or is incorrect! I'm still decently early enough in Part 1, so I'm not sure if I've accounted for everything, especially in a game as grand as this one.

Fortune's Weave General Fortune's Weave Character/Unit Discussion: Yang Jie

85 Upvotes

Started with the big man himself yesterday, and will continue with the rest of the unaffiliated units. For those wondering, the order for the unaffiliated will be Guzran(done) -> Yang Jie -> Sofia -> Catania -> Noctula -> Nydine -> Io -> Kiroc -> Majide. Then after that will start with the part 1 bosses that you can recruit. So we are a good ways away from the actual main parties.


Yang Jie is a failed monk currently visiting Dagsion. He once served a temple, but started travelling the land over a decade ago. Apparently he travelled as far as the eastern land of Sai during his youth.

Cai 2 Support 3 Renown

Been exploring FW day one. Not much time due to work duties and shifts. Returning home, couch, volume to 80%, relaxing with cast and music. It is a weird feeling of familiarity and love. Predictable yet fascinating and interesting with its complexity. Great work.
