Based on the dlc trailer, the new character Nel will be able to transform into a dragon form. I'm also hoping that in the DLC Alear will get smth that will allow them to transform too, but if we get two transforming units, I think that would be cool too.

Personally, I'd be happy to get Enchanter and Mage Cannoneer as the only DLC classes. They are both quite interesting and I'm really interested to see how they feel to play as. I'm also happy to also see them develop unique classes and not just give us classes from previous FEs like they did in Three Houses. I wasn't a massive fan of those classes, sans Dark Flier. The other three were useless. Enchanter seems like a cool support class. Also gonna be nice to have another knife and arts user. I imagine the class will sync well with Micaiah to make the ultimate support unit. M. Cannoneer also looks super cool. Nice to have a ballistician-esque class in the game, especially a game that is lacking in giving the player long range attacks (still wish we got access to even one Meteor tome). Am very curious as to how we'll be able to access all their different weapons especially since their main skill involves you sacrificing one. I'm presuming the shop will be updated to allow them to be purchased.

Chrobin's is good. It's +1 Mt, -1 Wt, +20 Avo/Ddg Veronica's is funnily strictly a worse Chrobin one with +1 Mt, -1 Wt, +20 Avo/Ddg but -20 Hit and -20 Crt

It's currently only available on the datamine doc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qFcABi455ZzLh0Drz1yZAxat5i_GWxIv3SPEDdlcZRE/edit#gid=0 If you scroll through the tabs at the bottom, you'll find the well section which has no spoilers.

I'd imagine it works the same way as bond rings in that you can change the rng by doing the arena or smth. Haven't tried anything tho. Also, had a look at the table by Vincent and you can also get extra Nodus staves if you drop in 20K worth of items

Phantom wolves appear in the Chrobin paralogue. They look kinda creepy lol EDIT: Chrobin gives Levin Sword, Thoron and Falchion. RIP the Gradivus dream, I'm sure an imaginary Emblem Camus/Zeke/Sirius has it somewhere lol. Also Chrobin gives Spd/Dex (which should be Dex/Spd given that Dex is first in the stat line but whatevs) which is a bit upsetting since I was hoping he'd give +Def with Spd or Dex so that there were two of each main stat combos from the DLC embelsm but whateves, Spd/Dex is a big upgrade for Ivy. Rally Spectrum is gonna be OP af. Overall, I think Veronica and Chrobin are really good additions. Definitely am gonna aim to do a DLC emblem only run at some point. Also just wanted to note that you can get additional warps from the well alongside SP books

Cool thank you! Also just realised why Veronica's staff is called an axe in the datamine, it's because it uses axe animations when used lol

Just unlocked Veronica. I don't think SP Conversion is gonna be that OP in the long run, especially since you have to get to level 13 to get it. Will certainly make grinding it easier if you go out of your way to, but I don't see it being overly OP. Still shitty tho that they did use DLC to solve one of the biggest problems the base game had in SP generation. Do we know what each of Veronica's Book of Worlds does? Gonna go get Chrobin and see what they have.

Mage Cannoneer class can be fought in Veronica's paralogue Seems to only use a special weapon type

I'm definitely very excited. Both the Chrobin and Veornica emblems seem quite unique and I'm excited to see what their paralogues are like. Also really want to see what Chrobin's second weapon is (am really hoping for Gradivus just to complete the trinity lol). I'm also really excited to see Veronica interact with characters considering she's such an anomaly with how she's not from a typical mainline game (I say typical cause I think its clear at this point IS and Nintendo consider Heroes mainline). I'm also excited to see if we get anything else with wave 3. I wouldn't be surprised if we get an update bonus with money, bond fragments etc but I also want to see if they'll throw in some free updates or if all we're getting is the DLC. Considering how soon Wave 2 dropped, am gonna wait up and see if Wave 3 drops before it gets too late (it's nearly 11 pm for me) so I can do some experimentation.

We probably wont know anything until the DLC actually drops later. Seadall is level 15 when he summons Marth who is level 17 and according to Vincent, has stats equivalent to what he has when fought in the arena, so I imagine the summoned emblems level will be equivalent to what point in the story you're in or may just grow with your unit that is summoning.

@DefyingFates, in fairness the last DLC was shown off on the day it was released essentially so I wouldn't be surprised if they show off stuff solely from an update when the DLC drops. But also, this DLC literally only says we're getting Emblems so am not sure, but I would be surprised if we don't get an adjoining update. As for Veronica herself, she's certainly very interesting. We get Vengeance essentially. This will be interesting and we'll see how well it works with Wrath/Vantage builds. Really cool we actually get an offensive staff that does damage. And negates counters, certainly quite cool. Her contract skill seems underwhelming. Yeah you get to act again, but you can't move? I wonder if Canter would allow you to move after you act tho. I do think it's weird this is what they decided to have for her Engage Skill too. I suppose if you're in a crowd of enemies it would be useful. As for her Engage Attack, we get EXP stealing emblems yay! I do find it interesting it lets you choose which colour you want, we officially have red hell since there are so many swordies lol. I do wonder if it will allow you to summon emblems with a variety of weapons as different colours, like you can summon Leif in red, blue or green. Overall, I don't think it will be super useful since again, it steals exp. I do wonder how long you'll have the emblems tho.

Do support bonuses work on EP or are they are PP thing only?

I suppose Levin Sword makes sense as a way to include Robin in the emblem outside of him chain attacking while engaged. Nice they also didn't just slap a rapier on him. We already have three rapiers, not counting other emblems that give cavalry/armoured effective weapons, so it's nice to get smth different. His sync skill will definitely be fun to try out. I imagine a combo of a Chrom unit and a covert unit with Corrin will be deadly in some situations. I imagine fliers won't get much use out of the skill however. While it isn't a lot of damage, having a constant chain attack for 3/4 turns will certainly add up damage wise and I can imagine will help hitting certain thresholds. I also do wonder how their engage attack will be calculated since it is combing magic and sword. It could very well be really good or really bad depending. Am excited to see what Veronica has tomorrow.

The sync skill being called 'Other Half'. Chrobin fans are winning this month. First Legendary Robin and now this hehe

Yes. Alfred is Noble -> Avenir Céline is Noble -> Vidame Diamant is Lord -> Successeur Alcryst is Lord -> Tireur d'elite Ivy is Wing Tamer -> Lindwurm Hortensia is Wing Tamer -> Sleipnir Rider Timerra is Sentinel -> Picket Fogado is Sentinel -> Cupido To find the growths for each class, look to the promoted class and you'll know which is which.

I have a feeling the Fell Xenologues will act like the Divine Paralogues and will be a separate world map where you will use your characters from your main file rather than it being a Fates/Cindered Shadows sitch where you are given however many pre-built characters to use.

It's pretty much only arena and player phase battling unfortunately. You can polish rings however I recently discovered that your bond level will not level up even if it reaches max bond for that level while polishing requiring you to fight in the arena or another fight (and even then polishing is super slow for bond). So yeah, fighting or spending bond fragments is the only way. In fairness however, bond does seem to go up fast enough and I think that it does go up faster if you're engaged and use engage attacks/emblem exclusive actions (i.e. Echo for Celica).

There is no current datamine for the dlc. All the info (which is quite limited for the emblems especially) is all from pre-launch/launch so we actually don't know much bar a few things

No it's definitely an axe associated with Veronica. They don't actually have any names in the code, just the emblem name and what weapon type it is so it's not mixed up with the actual weapon that is Camilla's Axe. Also yeah, despite having stuff in the datamine, it doesn't actual reveal anything lol bar some hints as to what weapons they have/what their emblem attacks are listed as. Even then, nothing from the datamine pre-wave 2 lists the fact Hector has a sword bar a sound label associated with so it probably doesn't have everything like you said.

For Chrom: Weapon wise, probably some rapier, I'm hoping Gradivus to complete the trinity (also to reference his lance access as a Great Lord) and of course Falchion. Based on the datamine, I don't think Chrom will have a lance and it seems like he's gonna have three swords but I'm gonna hope for Gradivus lol. Skill wise, we're definitely getting sword guard from him and probably Dex/Def (will explain later). As for unique mechanics, I do think he'll be an emblem like Eirika where you flip between him and Robin. I can see him having some kind of dual strike stuff like Lucina maybe. Possibly a dual strike skill that calcs damage normally rather than 10% HP, would be quite dangerous and fun to work with. Will def give Sword and Tome prof, maybe Lance if he has Gradivus. His engage attack will definitely be a sword attack followed by Robin using Thoron I imagine. For Veronica: She's gonna have her two tomes from her normal and legendary versions and her staff from her brave. Her staff will definitely be like Soren's staff in that it boosts stats/gives a buff rather than doing actual healing. The datamine does mention smth called 'Veronica's Axe' but idk. She does have an axe alt but that's a seasonal so??? As for skills, it will be Mag and Spd. Discounting Tiki who is unique, we have two Strs (Hector and Edie), two Res (Soren and Camilla), two Def (Hector and probs Chrom), two Dex (again probs Chrom and Edie) and then Veronica would make up to the two Mag (with Soren) and two Spd (with Camilla). The Spd and Dex could probably be swapped with Chrom and Veronica, but I think that's how the +stat skills will be distributed. I am curious about what guard skill she'll come with. There is still no knife or arts guard skill (since Tiki came with the useless Special Guard for some reason lol) and I can't see Veronica having either. They'll probably have her with some staff skill or a combo knive/arts guard maybe? Unique skills wise, I would love a summoning skill where you can actually use the summons. I'm not sure what else she could have. As for her engage attack, I think she'll be able to summon one of the emblems and mirror their engage attack which I think would be really cool.

Seems like the DLC releases on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. So it will probably be the 12th of April when we get Wave 4, hopefully

Imo, no. I would certainly choose blindness over death. Yeah loosing a sense would suck, but you can still live a fulfilling life as a blind person. I would actually chose blindness over deafness tbh. Seeing, but not being able to hear would be a much scarier experience for me personally, but again, I also don't think I'd choose dying over it.

Really hoping for an official eng translation, would love to have some manga volumes to collect. Am also interested to see what changes, if any are made.

As far as I'm aware, besides Wave 4, all DLC for TH was just dropped, with an announcement being made on the twt account at some point early in the day, but its very unceremonious for the most part. At most, it's announced a couple of hours before its made available I think.
