  1. That's what I wound up doing so I may go for her Divine Codes path down the line. But Heather's on there for 800 and Incite is now on my R!Lif (along with Fatal Smoke 4) so I'm not TOO worried about getting more of her. Not that I can afford to be. Odd that despite BK's stats and A skill his kit is tailored for slow Armors. Huh. I don't have any of those I want to level up at the moment but we'll see if any interesting Armor units show up as GHB or TT rewards down the line I guess. But for now, my B!Eirika has been updated! She's using No Quarter + Flared Sparrow + Incite Atk/Spd on top of her default kit. May she not let me down!
  2. Thanks as always, Ice! I jumped the gun and gave Peony Atk/Spd Prime 4, No Quarter, Flared Sparrow and Atk/Spd Oath 4. Oops. But my plan now is to feed Merric to R!Ophelia so she gets both Remote Sparrow and Incite Atk/Spd, then use both units to load R!Lif up on Flared Sparrow, No Quarter and Incite Atk/Spd so I can then use him as as All-In-One fodder supply for Cavs (and a source of Eljudnir + Incite for Sword Infantry + Cavs). I hope everyone considers that a good use of fodder! Please stop me if it's not! Edit: New idea - is it worth giving Remote Sparrow & Incite Atk/Spd to Ginnungagap instead? Granted I need to reach the end of a Divine Codes path to get a second copy, but it's one with Heather (more Remote Sparrow) and B!Soren (Flare + Mag FU) so... that's worth it, I think? I don't know if BK's fodder is considered worthy now though. But at least this way I have Ophelia free to store Atk/Spd Finish 4 + Atk/Spd Pledge. Not that I have any illusions of getting any other Infantry Rearmed/ Attuned Heroes to pass them along to...
  3. Is Remote Sparrow still relevant or is it only good for infantry units these days? I got an Ascended Merric and want to know who to feed him to. Incite Atk/Spd is my main focus but the only Heroes I have who can copy both are: R!Ophelia (2 copies), R!Sonya and R!Ginnungagap (both at 1 copy + potentially 1 from Divine Codes 5). Then when looking at who can get Incite Atk/Spd I have the above and: R!Lucina (1 + 1 from Divine Codes 5), R!Lif (x3), R!Chrom (x2). So I guess Lif is the logical option if I just want Incite. I asked something like this a month or two ago but are his base skills worth giving to anyone? Ice suggested holding onto him to store any Atk/Def skills for a future tanky unit (and then we got Mauvier) but I'd like to know if that's still worth doing or if I should focus on using him to copy newer skills (he has A/D Clash 4 + A/D Menace at the moment). Thanks in advance, everyone! I don't get why Fliers can't get Incite, that would have made things SO much simpler...
  4. Well, my luck went as expected. I got a few Peony copies which I'm happy with but mostly Claudes (including one who stole my focus charges) and the only Alear I got was from the second spark. I think I'm going to try and get a Merric and/ or Caeda from the NH Banner and maybe come back to this if I can reach another spark before the banner expires. I hope your luck is better everyone! UPDATE: I got one of each, including the spark. 💀
  5. Not too much story in this one but it's still more story than other Books had at this point. I... actually like where this is going! Veronica wanting to attend the peace meeting despite being poisoned and coming to terms with all the trouble she caused in the past is some nice character development on her part too. I'm looking forward to what comes next and hope whoever wrote the plot this time around does a good job with the rest of it too!
  6. Thanks as always, Ice! I suppose I can consider a D/R C Skill + Atk Oath Echo combo if I start training a tanky infantry unit in the future. And I overlooked the downsides of Bonus DC/ CC. Now if only it had been available for HF!Corrin in the recent HoF, it would have been better than Distant A/S Solo for her, wouldn't it?
  7. That's what stood out to me too, finally! Thanks to Merric Incite Atk/Spd is in the main pool now as well. So fodder-wise this banner is a dream come true for me... so of course it drops now right before AHR. I was considering only going up to the second spark there, so maybe I'll have a few Orbs to spare afterwards? We'll see. I know buff neutralization is a thing, but are Bonus Doubler DC/ CC now the best Counter variants? Also, I was going to ask if D/R Pledge + Atk Oath Echo was a good combo, but then I remembered Pledge granted an in-combat buff too. Darn. Caeda is Infantry. That's what makes her more enticing fodder-wise (at least for me). This is a perfect tl;dr of how I feel xD
  8. She can also copy Potent for non-Armors, but I don't know how applicable that would be for a skill still so rare.
  9. If you get copies of her on the banner you can use her to duplicate skills, so she gets added value that way if that helps?
  10. It's weird since in Year 1 there were interviews about how faithful IS wanted to be. I'm not surprised that a few characters fell through the cracks, but then you see some characters being intentionally changed... to make them more appealing, presumably.
  11. FEH in general treats him that way, even in the manga, weirdly enough. At least they improved him with this flanderization instead of how they treat other characters?
  12. And with that the event ends. It was Same Hell for the last two hours and Alear was slightly in the lead, I wonder if that'll remain true in the final tally too. While I wanted Sanaki for the sisterly fluff, Peony and F!Alear were my biggest wants from the 8 so I'll be happy either way... though I confess I would prefer a free Peony.
  13. Maybe, but this could just be one big "Engage blast" because of its one year anniversary. If anything IS couldn't even stick the landing properly since half this batch is 3H. Again. That said, I'm sure we'll get an Engage overdose eventually. If anything I welcome it (at least for now) just so we don't get drowned in 3H units and alts for a while...
  14. Yeah, that makes sense, especially if you already have one or more of the current candidates. Best of luck with your saving!
  15. At first it was because people just voted for Edelgard because it was Edelgard regardless of whether her being on the banner made any sense (i.e. they voted for og! and Brave Edelgard). Then they voted for Fallen Edelgard twice(?) despite every banner in the second half of 2021 (her debut year) having a F!Edelgard counter or two. Then she kept getting matched against units who were rarer or more useful and this year lost to the Green dream. I'm sure there are people who voted against her for the meme too, but I guarantee there were also people voting "because it's Edelgard" too so that balances out. How much do you want to bet her absurdly high rankings are because random people on the internet saw "Fire Emblem character poll" and honed in on her whether they play Heroes or not? I'm certain that's what happened in the early years and I find it hard to believe people who actually pay attention to the game thought W!Edelgard was the most valuable Hero in this year's batch (I agree she's stupidly powerful, but not enough to rank first over all the other contenders). ... I didn't expect to get two whole paragraphs out of that. Hope that doesn't come off as ranting, though I admit I am getting sick of her being forced onto these polls more often than not.
  16. Not even for fodder? You said you wouldn't mind pulling the others for that, right?
  17. Thank you very much, I appreciate the personal anecdote too! Another vote for Return + Dazzling Staff then!
  18. Unfortunately everything there has been powercrept into dust. The only skill that really sticks out anymore is M!Shez's Atk/Spd Oath 4 for 4000 codes and I have enough codes to do that five times over xD But considering I also prefer Reposition to other movement assists, I guess I should just opt for Return. Heck, maybe we'll get someone in the main pool with Dazzling Trace I could give her afterwards, I always wanted to have that skill. Thanks again, Ether! I hope your H!Mia is doing well!
  19. Probably a dumb question to ask, but is Nudge+ (Shove) or Return+ (Reposition) the better movement healing assist? I want to give Scion Nanna and can't decide if I want to give her the latter with Dazzling Staff 3 (she has Poetic Justice atm) from Sara or get the August Manual from Divine Codes 4 for Nudge+ & Even Recovery. Thanks as always, everyone!
  20. I'm sure that'll happen sooner than later. I want IS to blacklist 3H for a few years already, but I hope IS takes the hint and stops spamming the house leaders if only so their dear Edelgard won't have to go through this again. But the 3H fans still got the last laugh by getting Claude in over Camilla who has the far better fodder and utility at the moment. Crazy how fast powercreep grew from the Wind Tribe banner, but still.
  21. Okay, so that's roughly what I had in mind, though I confess some of the specifics went over my head. I'm really interested in a machine learned version of this in the future though! A shame the only methods I'm comfortable with are Bayes and simple neural networking 😕 In any case, thank you very much for the explanation! And sorry that I'm hoping Version A gets the Edelgard vs Peony prediction wrong!
  22. @DarkAlf, what algorithms are you running for your predictors, if that's something you're willing to share? Anyway, as stated before I'm on Team Peony and we've been on the backfoot a lot during this VG. For every hour she leads she's stuck with ~2 hours of multipliers back to back. I just hope your backup is right about her getting a multiplier on the final hour instead of them being trapped in same hell. As for the other pairings, the spreadsheets are undecided on Gullveig vs Dimitri but unilateral on Camilla and Alear moving forward. As much as I personally would love to have Duo Sanaki, I can accept that (as also said earlier).
  23. I wonder how much this will change now that Dimitri's confirmed as a new combat manual. I'm sure there will still be those siding with him because 3H, but I'm sure that took a lot of wind out of his sails. So yeah, the "Green Dream" may not be too ideal anymore, but I'm hoping we at least get Greens in the other three slots. Come on, multipliers!
  24. This will likely ruffle a lot of feathers, but I think it'd be nice to get a "World of Steel" banner where Heroes dress up in modern clothes, even if it's just a one-off seasonal a la bath towels and picnicking. Just so we can finally get more of Kozaki's "Modern AU Lucina" if nothing else.
