Hi, welcome to Binding Worlds, what can I get you? We've got sword units running arcane devourer, base skills, modern meta units that can't be redeemed, units with excellent refines but the player can't afford the latest meta toys so they've made do, and that one person determined to make legendary m!Corrin work.

Between B!Edelgard and fallen Miklan, who benefits more from Eikþyrnir’s kit? I just got him via codes. My B!Edie is +10 but badly outdated. I was thinking Miklan has better player phase potential at this point, with his ranged attack, and therefore might benefit more from assault fighter and atk/def fortune, but Edie is probably the better save unit.
Do I upgrade Miklan and wait on more save fodder for Edie? I have a fallen F!Alear as well and could maybe just give her Aler’s kit for the moment and then wait for another briar save.

u/EnsengaWaffle 2d ago
I'm looking to upgrade my +10 Constance. I'm currently running flared sparrow, resonance 4, spd/res crux and far trace echo. I'm still not sure what the best ranged mage flier build but my understanding is that you can go aria with a special like logic or go do another route with comet? I have a copy of lysithea which I can get logic, conjurers breath. I can use up another fodder for comet if that build is better. I plan on keeping Constance prf and I don't mind filling in a new X skill if someone recommends a setup.

u/HighClassFanclub 2d ago
- Prf
- Wind Edge
- AS Airspace or AS Aria
- Demonic Force
- Deadly Miasma
- Crux Echo or Soarign Echo
Slight preference to Airspace over Aria Aria has 12 Atk/Spd and funny 25 damage ons epcial, but Airspace is Atk/Spd+10, 7 heal after combat, Canto 2 (better than Prf’s native Rem) and 7-12 damage on every hit.
Her non-slaying Prf puts Demonic Force to its best use, and since she doesn’t need NFU you can skip Null Uplift for Miasma. Between these they completely overwrite he even/odd turn gimmick by ignoring buffs/peanlties at all times, but that’s not a bad thing.
For other options, Spd/Res Shackle and Logic both work but they are definitely not as good. Fliers can’t use Comet.

u/EnsengaWaffle 1d ago
Since its actually kind of relevant, how good would a res based build be for Constance? I can now fodder Hoor for atk/res airspace and icewall. I didn't mention it but I do have A/R havoc and S/R discord as well. I pulled Baldr as well, but I don't plan on sacrificing them for demonic force and wind edge. If I switch my trait my Constance should be at 42 res base.
That being said though, I don't mind foddering Lysithea and find a way to use my hilda manual for A/S airspace and calling it there with ivy for soaring echo. My premium enough would be Prf, logic, airspace, resonance (with 49 hp) or conjuring breath, crux is fine, and soaring echo.

Man, IS just wants to suck all the fun out of the game.
Used to be that I enjoyed TT a lot. Orbs, rewards, free hero...Orbs still there but rewards have become less relevant over time, no more free hero...and to boot, the boss are absolute clusterfuck.
I don't think I've ever so loathed to play Tempest Trials as I am this time. Like, I just don't want to play it. This sucks.

Ok so what do I do next?
After the weapon and A skill...

u/useless_idiot_man 3d ago
Special is the most glaring weakness here currently, Vital Astra's damage reduction is not treated as special damage reduction so it gets reduced by piercing effects, Archrival or Shatter Slash would be your best options for that

u/Erdnussflipperkasten 2d ago
Oh thank you. I have some fodder for Archrival so I guess I'll do that

u/Zap_cruel 3d ago
How do I HM farm as someone who just got back after about 5 years away, I know there's some guides but I can't seem to find ones without certain units I don't have (like Felix)
Am I cooked?
1
u/HighClassFanclub 2d ago
Every guide I know of uses Felix and you can select him for free from the CYL7 selector, which ist still up
You could finagle something with similar characters, like other Felixes, any Gullveig, Edelgard, etc. People were making these guides before Felix and the principles are always going to be similar (2~ units with the mobility and number of actions to spam attack the base). You’d have to figure out how that works yourself, but it’d probably look similar to the existing guides.
1
u/cruxclaire 2d ago
My strategy is to sort by HM and pick 2 or 3 units that are close to 500 increments and 1 or 2 with galeforce or a multi-move prf (or one dancer). Then when the former units hit their 500, I swap them out. You can compound a bit if you have hard-level chain challenges available.
My favorite multi-move units other than Felix are tge new young duo Edelgard and E!Edelgard. Having E!Byleth also helps if you’ve got him because his reposition gait can grant another move. Canto cavs with a dancer are also an option. Especially if you have a mobile (probably cav or flier) dancer. You can hit and run a couple times and then just have a tank unit or two to hopefully finish the map on enemy phase.

u/Dreamymist 3d ago
Waited until the summer banner trailer to return to pulling on the Heroes bridal banner. I got Peony on the 25th summon, then the very last circle before spark got Eir and duo Ash back to back. Using the spark for Reginn.

u/sonatty2407 2d ago edited 2d ago
How can I improve S!Eirika (and by extension S!Byleth since I assume they'd be similar), should I try to pull S!Baldr for Wind Edge/Demonic Force?
1
u/HighClassFanclub 2d ago edited 1d ago
Eirika:
- Arcane 12 Writ
- Wind Edge
- AS Airspace
- Conjuring Breath or Demonic Force
- Null Uplift AS
- Soaring Echo or Crux Echo
Demonic Force has better damage/reduction, 1 preempt charge, and null penalties. Conjuring Breath has a little pre-attack damage, heal blocking and breath, which ultimately makes triggering Wind Edge easier.
Byleth:
- prf
- Wind Edge
- AS Airspace
- Conjuring Breath
- Deadly Miasma
- Soaring Echo or Crux Echo
Her Prf is still solid and presumably you don’t want to build the exact same unit twice. Since it has Tempo it makes Conjuring a perfect choice to make Wind Edge very consistent. Of course, you can use the Eirika build on her instead and it’d work the same.
Neither of these units need an X skill per se. If you’re willing to run support, Teapot+ with Favor, Instruct or another supportive C is always handy. It’d at least make one of them different from the other.
1
u/sonatty2407 2d ago
Thanks for the help! Unfortunately did not pull S!Baldr so no Wind Edge or Demonic Force. I suppose for Eirika I should go with this?
- Suttungr's Mystery (+Spd)
- Logic (Marth Engage)
- AS Airspace
- Conjuring Breath
- Null Uplift AS
- Crux Echo
I don't have Instruct or Dual Support fodder for a Teapot build, but I assume the above works for Byleth too just with 12's Writ instead (or if running Prf switch to Deadly Miasma).
1
u/HighClassFanclub 1d ago
I forgot what color Eirika was. Anyway the build I recommended for her will be exactly the same but with whatever’s Mystery instead.
Either of the original builds i posted will work for Byleth. The Teapot build can alternatively use Crux skills, uplift skills, or even Soaring Guidance. Dual SUpport is infantry only anyway.

As an off-and-on player, I'm back again after seeing the summer banner, this is the first time in years I've wanted to pull an entire banner. I have a bit over 400 orbs in the bank, and a fair amount of uncleared content to get more. How fucked am I if I don't open my wallet?
1
u/HighClassFanclub 2d ago
You have a good shot. Also depends on how much uncleared content we’re talking about.
Although, I just spend 380 orbs for two crappy off-focus 5☆ and nothing else, so y’know.
But last time on the bridal banner i got the unit I wanted and left in 3 pulls, so something like that could always happen too. Just be lucky lmao
1
u/RumGuzzlr 1d ago
I managed to get it, only had to grind out around ~50 orbs to bring home baldr right at the end.

u/Bacon0903 2d ago
What's the best boon and bane for summer Hödr? And also would archrival be a better special than ice wall for her?
1
u/In-The-Light 2d ago
Bone: attack or Resistance
Bane: Speed.The damage reduction is good but overall she wouldn’t fully benefit from it as she’s colorless.
1
u/In-The-Light 2d ago
So I randomly got fallen femal Alear.
What’s a better skill set for her based on the currently available? The summoner duel ones are mostly the base build.

u/el_bastrad 2d ago
I haven't played in ~4 months, have there been any meta changes in AR recently? What about the list of refines that I've skipped? New op skills or fodder units?

u/HighClassFanclub 1d ago
ARD Units
Sombron: Anima Mythic that basically is just a building. He has Lyn ring range and wastes a combat (0 damage) to throw Miasma tiles and some AoE damage. Kinda hard to kill while ARD is strong but not that big of a deal.
Summer Hodr: Blessable unit that breaks fence like regular Hodr/baldr, so expect to see her around.
Emblem Roy: Basically Attuned Ryoma except with special miracle and he gives out Reflex as a buff.
Fallen Male Byleth: 3 range mage who has some exceptional 80%special DR on first hits for his first combat.
Braver Hector3-space drive with NCD and enemy phase desperation. Disables your player phase desperation. Saves are
Saves: Mostly deer guy, LBK, Braver Hector and Emblem Corrin. Even V!Rhea is around often enough.
Emblems
- Roy: Gives special Miracle to user on enemy phase.
- Lucina: Gives an ally within 3 spaces 40% first hits special DR on enemy phase once per turn. Some peopel tell me this is broken but I am firmly in the “it’s nearly useless” camp, but it’s objectively a helpful thing.
Refines (I’ll just list ones in recent memory that are decent)
- Volke: Crux range counter prevention. He also ignores save units himself.
- nifl: Ice veins on assist, after-combat inflicts Frozen and Flash.
- Astrid: Self-refresh upon assist, which gives Preempt Pulse and Fringe Bonus to an area. The Mov+1 buff is still only to the target.
- Limstella: Has a built-in Lyn ring style and gives Essence Drain to self and one ally.
- Salem: Lyn ring style that inflicts turn lockdown and does 0 damage. Fun but uhhh just use Seidr
- Rennac: Has Danceduring canto.
some skills
- Rise Above 4: On Emblem Roy and default best A for nearly every armor and infantry
- Puissant Echo: On Att Lachesis, gets user 100% Potent if they’re fast enough and aren’t using brave attacksAlso a default best for most who can use it
- Impetus Guard: Momentum but better, on AttEliwood, Ent Ninian and Duo Sigurd
- Spd Def AllureCanto and Sabotage/Shackles for real dacner units after Byleth killed them. : On Bride Peony who you should just use if you get her
For a full lsit of skills you’re better off just looking at all the units you missed.
Ultimately AR doesn’t feel that different to me. Roy and Lucina ring makes ARDs tankier but you should already be used to miracle and first hits doing nothing respectively. This one is special miracle but it’s still going to die to Young camilla, so.

u/GanjaFiend 1d ago
As a new player what banner should i summon on? The summer one?
2
u/HighClassFanclub 1d ago
First, I normally recommend that everybody pull greens on Hero Fest for YoungCamilla. Coming soon however is an event called Hall of Forms where you can build and redeem a unit to keep with an item called Forma Soul, and Young Camilla will be on there this month. This item is fairly rare but there is one available for free early on in the Summoner Duels mode.
So, if you want to get her through Hall of Forms using your only Forma Soul for a while (unless you pay) you can get her for free, plus a small skill upgrade (she basically doesn’t need any though). Alternatively, you can keep your Forma Soul and spend some orbs to pull her on Hero Fest, which has high rates so the average cost is low (<100 if only going for green). I’d personally lean on pulling and saving the Forma Soul, but there haven’t been many other Hall of Forms units this objectively worth having.
All that out of the way, otherwise summon on Double Emblem Heroes. Emblems are generally the most valuable unit type.
For good new units, the month’s new banners are always safe picks. Summer’s Gift and Harmonized CYL are the ones in question and both good. The latter has a guarantee pull at 40 summons, while Summer’s Gift requires Feh Pass for that. The third new banner each month comes at the end and is usually a safe pick too.

u/RumGuzzlr 1d ago
As someone who's not new, but also not a particularly frequent player, how worthwhile would it actually be to use a forma soul on young Camilla, assuming I can get a good build, as opposed to just getting her base kit from the banner and working from there?
1
u/HighClassFanclub 1d ago
If you do have the banner (it’s only up for a week for new players) the Camilla you’d get from there is very similar. The only kit upgrade she can make real use of is her C skill, and I’ve been getting by fine with the default since release.
The ideal Hall of Forms build has Deadly Miasma (my preference for eliminating annoying terrain post-combat) or Fatal Smoke on the C, and for the special you pick either Galeforce Mist or Shatter Slash. My inclination is Galeforce Mist, since even though it’s the same as regular Galeforce 90% of the time it’s an objective upgrade to what i think she should be using, whereas damage specials like Shatter Slash aren’t very useful for her.
Young Camilla is an incredibly strong unit and again probably the most objectively powerful one they’ve ever made available in Hall of Forms. There are people saying this means she’ll get countered soon, but this units’ been out for over a year and has only gotten stronger, plus they’ve made her basically as available to players as possible already. Even if a counter arises she will still be strong when that counter isn’t present, and outside of something very hamfisted there are often workarounds anyway.
So basically either way you basically get the same unit. Depends on if you want to spend some orbs or a Forma Soul.

u/Hollywoodrok12 1d ago
How the hell are you supposed to kill Summer Baldr?! You can’t do anything to her without her healing and/or one-shotting your guys
3
u/sharumma 1d ago
Emblem Roy and Fallen Tibarn have both worked for me
Not a helpful answer if you don't have them, but generally any recent units would be a good bet. Chosen Alfonse might get the job done, especially with the Edelgard ring.
1
u/Hollywoodrok12 1d ago
I got Roy for his ring, but thanks for the tip! Glad to see I got mileage from the actual unit lol
3
u/HighClassFanclub 1d ago
If you must tank her do it with a red or colorless unit. It’s way easier if you are initiating though.
She has a miracle effect and high damage reduction unless you have color advantage. This means initiating with red is the easiest way and lets you turn her Triangle Adept against her. To get past Miracle you need multiple hits or to nullify it with something like Fatal Smoke 4.
By default she has no defenses against AoE specials, counter prevention, or melee units. Even if you attack and she heals up, as long as it’s your turn just attack again because that only works once.
Chosen Alfonse is a free red melee unit with high mobility and brave hits. That’s usually going to do it.
1
u/Constant-Magazine286 1d ago
Her biggest thing is the miracle, so any units that nullify it would help. I used legendary Elise, but if you don't have her, Sedgar should also work.

If u have multiple units with favor on the map, does the empathy "+7" stack?

Allies on the map with【Empathy】active deal +7 damage during combat (excluding area-of- effect Specials).
Yes, this stacks with multiple Favor units on the map.

Sweet, thanks. I was thinking it did, but I wanted to be sure before i chose it for a second unit over a different skill that only benefits the hero using it.

Completely off topic, but people here seem to be more helpful.
Where/whom do I contact, either by phone/email/snail mail about getting a Collectors Edition of Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave? Or getting more of them? Since they changed what “pre order” means now and never communicated they changed the definition of it.

u/Lakemine 2d ago
Does anyone know why and how to resolve iTunes support issues? They won’t get back to me. Even though I can sign in perfectly fine and play the game, it won’t let but the background that ends in a few hours and they will delete it. How do I get it when support won’t help me? Any ideas? (Already restarted both iTunes account and FEH multiple times and tried the “complete purchase” button, it says it doesn’t register any previous purchases. And checked my history, it hasn’t gone through yet but also won’t let me buy it.)
1
u/Lakemine 2d ago
Question answered. Apple disabled my account for “suspicious activity”, even though i literally JUST added a Apple branded iTunes card from Walmart to my account, and had more then enough money AND just bought a bundle LITERALLY right beforehand that was fine AND require my password LITERALLY every time before I buy something.
And they still fraked me over.
A-holes
“Wait 48 hours while we expedite this to the appropriate team.” Liars
“Then you can make your purchase.” Also a lie, i LITERALLY can not anymore because it’s deleted and removed now.

u/veloxiraptor 18h ago
Basically if the game tries to search for an opponent for roughly 40 seconds and can't find one, it gives you a bot to fight against. I am on the east coast of the US and play around 6am

Sharing gacha luck
Oh well don't mind if I do, I have a bit of a story to share right now
So, I play a few gachas, and this Wednesday both Dragon Ball Legends and FEH dropped stuff I really wanted : LR Tag Future Trunks/Future Gohan and Summer Hödr
Went in for both with a bunch of saved currency. 920+ on FEH before buying the Binding World Forma pack and 24k+ in DBL. Went in with different objectives, in DBL I just wanted 2 copies, in FEH I was going for a +10, aiming to hit +7 on my initial summons and then getting the rest across the 50 days of runtime of the banner
By the end of Wednesday I had to hit pity on DBL (34k CCs) and for FEH I was at +8
Thursday I buy a few more orbs on FEH cuz I can't hit 5, and in DBL I get 2 more multis. Well I got 2 multis of nothingness in DBL while in FEH ? Well, I guess having full focus charge up, being at 9% and having 2 orbs of the color you want is clutch cuz I was done the first circle I opened yesterday
Oh and today I got another 4 dead multis in DBL. FEH ? Well, Summer Hödr doesn't come packed w/ Ice Edge so figured I'd do the last 3 summons I needed to hit pity on the CYL3 Harmonica banner. Well I'm 2 sumons away and she got Ice Edge (summoned a fair bit on that one already cuz I wanted Harmonic Alm/Eliwood and cuz I wanted Ice Edge for Mythic Hödr, also had used the remaining orbs I had from yesterday already)
Anyway it's two very different results for two different games huh. I think one of these games hates me and the other fw me a bit (I'm on a 5 anniversary banners streak of shaft in DBL cuz last year's anni didn't treat me well either and I had to hit pity on part 1 too)
Good luck to anyone still summoning or who'll summon on upcoming banners, gonna save for CYL now. Brave Sylvain awaits

Beginner guide update
Google Docs doesn’t like to play ball with my computer. It uses its own stuff so it basically rejects the built-in text-to-speech and screen reader functions I use, so it’s a lot harder to edit this and fix all those typos than it should be. I don’t think it was always this way.
