ORBQUEST: LOWEN - holding out for a hero!

Today, I am beginning ORBQUEST: LOWEN - my way of saying that I will be saving all of my Fire Emblem Heroes orbs until they finally put Lowen into the game. Why? Just look at him, look how cute and friendly! Look at that hair! Look how much his cute horse loves him! I've been playing FEH since launch, and have been waiting for seven years (!!!) for my favorite sandwich-loving mop of a cavalier... to no avail! I'm 100% F2P and have amassed a barracks with some of my favorites, with a handful of +10 units (NY!Panne being my favorite). Blazing Blade was my very first game when my cousin let me borrow it way back when it came out. I was definitely way too young to really know what I was doing, but it made me basically a lifelong fan of the series. Having played it again (as well as every subsequent game), I still have such a soft spot for the Elibe characters and their designs. Lowen also basically set my personal parameters for how I set up characters in RPGs; for whatever reason, RNG always gives me a super lucky, super defensive version of him - and that mix has never led me astray! Love that guy. I am convinced he'll get added eventually, and when he does I will be +10-ing him and feeding him every ridiculous skill I can get my hands on. We stan a lhasa apso of a man here in these barracks.

[CM Work] Lowen boi timeskip is back <3 (it took me a year finis this. I wanna thank my commissioner for not killing me <3) 💚🪵✨

[risingsunfish]

With the Rising Hero bracket, I can make CYL propaganda for my obscure(-ish) FE faves and not feel like it's totally pointless! Lowen is my most-wanted character for FEH— he'd spare you a sandwich, so spare him a vote!

Lowen Fire Emblem is one of my least favorite good units.

He eventually gets good, mostly due to being one of your only units with decent stats from Eliwood's scrub squad; however, I just don't like him. He always feels about 2 steps behind the enemies on any map on average. He'll struggle to double early on, and later on he'll only be able to double scrubs and armor knights. You can forget boss killing with this guy.

BUT. He's got a goddamn horse, and if you skip Lyn mode, he simply will just out-perform Kent or Sain due to his availability. Which sucks, A whole lot. I have a tendency to play through Lyn mode and favor one of the two just so Lowen isn't my best paladin.

I have more fun training Wil than I do using this guy. He's so boring to me.

'Your appearance/ behaviour leads me to this assumption'

Yeah, totally how I would expect a 10 year old farmer boy to talk. Nothing weird about this

[furryprovocateur]

fire emblem, or, as i like to call it, the game where you can make no mistakes and still lose. yeah i'm fucking mad but whatever, i did it.

this chapter really isn't THAT bad, i feel like the strategies for dealing with everything are fairly apparent. i just got some really dogshit luck on multiple attempts (3 60% attacks in a row missed and then in a separate attempt 2 90% attacks missed 🤪) so it really soured the shit out of my mood. the basic strategy you want to use is send two cavs + hector + priscilla and one other unit (in my case, it was guy) to the north, send matthew to the west and give him a buddy unit to kill the shaman unless your matthew has gotten stupidly good (or you just want to roll dice loaded against you 3-4 turns in), leave two of your units (one of them should preferably be lyn) behind to deal with the cav + nomad reinforcements. lyn benefits greatly from mani katti here and will nail kills she otherwise has next to no business getting. in a bizarre twist of fate, my lyn has 14 strength and 13 speed. can't tell if i should be arguing that she's blessed in strength or getting burned in speed. probably both.

speaking of level ups, i feel like i got an okay assortment of them. feel like i'm getting mostly average level ups in that people are getting the stats they should be (i.e. florina's getting speed and resistance, hector's getting strength and defense, lowen's getting whatever + defense), and while i wish i was getting ever so slightly better level ups on people like guy (he's always juuuuuust shy of 1RKOing and can't double with the iron blade), i feel like i should largely have no complaints. kent's basically caught up as well, low on skill but skill is a meme stat.

the biggest annoyance of the map is the thieves that spawn in the north. one of them will just fuck off (i assume this is because it's there to go for the chests to the west that i always end up getting before he's even a presence), but the other one is a super asshole. on my previous attempts i was able to intercept him and kill him before he looted more than one chest (meaning you can still get all the treasure), but in the one that beat the chapter, the little cunt got to the silver sword then the knight crest, meaning i lost the silver sword. the only positive i can say is that he never does the reverse (which would be a colossal hit (that i would reset over)), and the silver sword is only 1500 gold. but it's really just the principle of the matter. way more annoyed about it than i really should be but i'll survive.

people shit on lucius but he does one solid thing, regardless of whether or not you used him in lyn mode: he's able to lure out one of the knights in bernard's room and kill it with a 3HKO. it's nothing impressive but it's something. meanwhile, his boyfriend raven unfortunately wasn't able to do much for me since i needed him to recruit lucius. he doesn't need experience that badly for now, but the sooner i can make him a frontliner, the better. he is one of the stars of HHM after all.

speaking of bernard's room! capital F FUCK that mage in that room. dude's a gigantic fuck and i wish the worst on him.

bernard himself was very "whatever" to kill. hector with wolf beil deleted him in 2 hits. i would've vastly preferred to get the kill with someone else, as hector's about to hit level 15 (which is fairly overleveled compared to the rest of my units and enemies in the current chapters + i don't need him hitting 20 early), but there were no really good options out of the people available (eliwood, kent, guy, lowen). eliwood could've maybe done some damage, but the rapier only has 4 uses and eliwood isn't as reliable as ol' hector.

i am grouchy and bitchy rn, but i'll probably wake up pretty happy with how things turned out. i was very worried about hitting both tactics and experience goals, so to clear both that well is very fortunate. i'm at the point where i need to start cycling some units out (i.e. lowen), and i'd like to make use of rebecca/bartre but it's hard to catch them up. maybe pirate ship will be kind to them. but you know what chapter isn't going to be kind to me? the next one! not looking forward to port of badon, but at least it's got double the turns for 5 star compared to HNM (seriously, fuck doing that chapter in 5 turns). also gonna have to decide how many units i want to bring just for the premise of using them in the arena. erk in the arena for experience buffering is extremely tempting. i'll meditate on it.

Commission for Atro of the happy green-haired family: Lowen, Wolt, and Rebecca 💚!

(Design refs provided by client - I believe Lowen's design is from Project Ember, while Rebecca is by reddit user Spoon_rhythm)

[prancingnougat]

Orbquest: Lowen has reached 100 orbs! I started around 40 orbs when I decided to embark on this journey for the cavalier of my dreams.

Here are a few details to how I'm going about saving up for Lowen's eventual arrival in Askr:

- Very casual, free-to-play collection. Daily orbs, basic quests, and monthly quest refreshes will be the bulk of how I save.

- I have a *huge* backlog of story and paralogue chapters I need to clear. We're talking easily 200+ maps.

- I'm letting myself redeem free summons on new banners and gleefully using any summoning tickets in order to keep myself sane.

- I currently have no characters that are tempting me too badly. I have my 2 favorites +10'd (NY!Panne and Lapis). Seeing characters like Velouria and those great Sonya alts pop up can be tough, but they're all pretty low-merge and the investment would take a ton, I will remain steadfast for my boy.

I'll update occasionally but I promise not to spam these tags too much! This is about as casual a quest as it gets, but my relationship with this game isn't as serious as I took it in the past. I still have fun with it and I hope anyone checking this out gets the unit of their dreams someday soon!

[neukgol]

Lowen and blushing Rebecca, commission for Atro. thank you so much!
