  1. Well time to move onto Team Azura after dancing around it after all this time. Technically I can skip summoning on the AHR banner if she wins. I guess everyone getting a free cavalier dancer isn't as toxic as it would have been, because of Safety Fence in AR, and I don't care about Summoner Duels that much.

  2. I don't think in the game's canon she would be able to do that, but it's a cool concept. Of course she has the one ancestor that lead to bearers of that crest having a negative stigma, but I think it might have been better if even the generic demonic beasts had the Crest of the Beast. That would add more to the stigma around that crest with most of the wild demonic beasts having that crest, but I guess that would make things even more complicated, and I don't want Marianne to suffer more. It's a minor thing but the default Crest that's used for a bunch of stuff in the game is the Gautier Crest.

    Is it just me or was this really easy?

    I can't believe Caeda doesn't have Iote's Shield. I was thinking there's no way they'll let you cheese with L!Leif.

    Caeda barely dents Lucina even with effective damage, and Lucina doubles her back for an easy kill. Ash and Robin can take care of the Near Save armor, letting Nifl remove the Armorsmasher before it can be a problem.

    I was wondering whose career that Armorsmasher was trying to end. Maybe Caeda should have worried more about not getting dunked on than deploying this clown.

    Yeah Ninja F!Corrin, L!Leif, Brave Marianne, and Dancer + this map, you do the math.

  4. The current Edelgard vs Azura situation is interesting. If it really is going to be a same hell with Edelgard in the lead, people on the Azura side can hold onto their multiplier until that last hour if necessary. I'd suspect that to be the case if the more involved players are on Azura's side and the more casual group is on Edel's side.

    Also the Atelier series. I adore the art style so I was really interested in them, but I've tried both Atelier Sophie and Atelier Lydie & Suelle and just couldn't get into either one. I might still try Ryza, though.

    I got Ryza when it was on sale a few months ago, but I couldn't get into it. For me I think it's the slow early game, and the chill atmosphere, while not bad mixed with the soft JP voices just puts me to sleep.

    I had a hard time with other SRPGs I've tried on the Switch, like Disgaea 5 and the Triangle Strategy Demo. They weren't boring or too difficult, but I feel like I have to be too campy with certain things. I think I need to watch how others play those games at a higher level, but I've been pretty lazy.

    This is a weird one: SMT5. The gameplay is fine, and story in videos games are pretty whatever to me, but the way the game ends rubbed me wrong. I wasn't knowledgeable on the alignment system, and apparently this game in the series doesn't touch on it as much the previous entries. I mostly picked the "nice" answers when given dialog choices, so this puts me in the Order category. However, I vibed with the characters that represent that faction the least. For some reason the game "gives" me the choice to pick which ending I want, I'll admit here that I half spoiled somethings when I was trying to do a blind playthough that led me into some bad decisions, like not using multiple save files to my advantage. I picked the ending that went with the faction that I *didn't align* with, so the game withholds certain rewards and locks you out of a side quest unless you grind a lot of money, which I wasn't going to do. Now in terms of completion and going through other endings, things are already inefficient so I'm not enthused on picking the game back up.

    So of course this what I rolled for my first battle:

      Reveal hidden contents

    QMO55DB.png

    Oh and no, I don't know why this boar has a Silver Lance+.

    If you're going to replace his Prf fine, but is Silver Lance+ really your best choice for a replacement?

    Yeah, this shit really has begun.

    This is why I camp with level one's when possible, imagine this shit when you didn't have free retries. Thanks for reminding me to put a hard counter in my lead for the people in my friend's list.

    Wow Azura and Edelgard are practically tied in terms of score after the first hour.

  7. Wow a bunch of people so far want to touch the Edelgard vs. Azura thing, my condolences. You're some Warriors, but hopefully you don't miss like that class tends to do.

    For me I'll join Eitri, but it looks like her and Thórr are pretty close in the AHR voting, with Thórr having a slight lead. Thórr even rose the most from the interim, so maybe I'm the crazy one attempting to challenge that.

  8. I was surprised seeing this because I've been up for a while, and I was confused wondering if I had some how missed it. Caeda's neat, I like that her outfit has elements from her Tokyo Mirage Sessions appearance. It's cool seeing a melee flier outside of Sumia with hard-canto. Since she doesn't have slaying, Galeforce will be a little rough, but it's a nice niche regardless.

  9. Ah so this how we end B!Hector's career, by powercreeping him! Not really though.

    Niime having an inheritable colorless tome is interesting, do any of the existing colorless tome units want it over their prfs? I do want to +10 Marianne, so I could run a tank build if I ever get a Niime.

    Playing Rokkr Sieges and... Warding Stance on Legendary Ike can be quite annoying. You can't juste Witchy Wand him and not worry with his specials.

    I had to use others ways to deal with him, like Pulse Smoke.

    Huh, that's funny, doesn't Pulse Smoke hard counter these Rokkr Bosses? It is kind of premium to have on multiple units I guess. I was going to use Legendary F!Byleth to let my Galeforcers negate that effect.

    I lean towards Dragon Wall for dragons since it is a dual phase skill, whereas Savvy Figher only works on enemy phase, although I am not sure if I am reading it correctly. If Savvy Fighter's damage reduction works on both phases though, then yeah, I think Savvy Fighter would be better to take advantage of her higher Spd stat. On the other hand, not many player phase nukes try to win a Res check though, so Dragon Wall may still be better since it would be an easier stat check to beat, even if her own Res is not that high.

    I forgot about Dragon Wall, the Res check will better in most cases. The Spd check from Savvy Fighter might allow her to live Julia in the Earth season I guess, but I'd assume Claude is a more frequent threat.

    TBH, I don't see B!Alm or Ingrid that much. And Lucina at +0 has a good matchup vs B!Alm? That would be insane at color disadvantage.

    My dilemma right now is between:
    -Keeping Lucina, at +0, even tho I'm building B!Edelgard.
    -Giving L!Tiki, one of my core units in Arena (and AR Earth Season), a skill she'll make great use of.

    She should be decent against Alm due to damage reduction, and you can stack Close Guard, and Rein type of debuffs, and procing Moonbow with Darting Breath seal. Weapon triangle is a meme at times with this game due to all of the effects and min-maxing of newer units.

    I'd say buff up your Tiki, if you don't have a real need for Lucina or a near-save tank. B!Edelgard is by definition an investment, since we don't know what sort or refine she'll get in a couple months. Edelgard can be a good Arena core unit as well, since Lucina is more expensive to build.

    Here is the thing.

    I got a V!Lucina today. But unless I get pretty lucky when she comes back in a future Double Special Heroes rerun, I won't be able to give her merges.
    With that in mind, is she a better Near Save tank than Brave Edelgard, who I am able to get merges more easily? I want to give my L!Tiki Savy Fighter (and tbh I think that's the best I could do in this situation, as I use Tiki a lot) but I wanted to check the performance of Lucina x Edelgard first.

     

    Lucina's niche is that she doesn't get hard countered by units like Alm or Ingrid, so if you're having issues with those unit's she can help deal with them. Also there isn't any relevant melee means of ignoring/reducing damage reduction, so it's pretty strong for now. Lucina can add deflect melee to tank brave attacks, while Edelgard currently doesn't reduce the damage on the first hit without external support. Edelgard will get a refine, but that's ~8 months from now.

  14. I've voted for Elimine and Hatari Azura so far. Maybe I'll throw a vote for Winter Lysithea. Then there's Eitri and Thorr. I already have Thorr, but I see a bunch of people mention they were voting for her so a free merge wouldn't be bad.

    Second Day Legendary Claude

    Brave Marianne will get a vote eventually

    I'll probably ditto these. I still don't have that Claude, and if the Edelgard kids want to do their thing then I'll just do mine.

  15. Summoner Duels S... what's next Summoner Duels T? I try not to be too negative about those modes, but I ran into a whale in Favor Battles earlier, and I had to forfeit real quick.

    Chrom fans are eating pretty good this year it seems. Nice to see Owain here, I wonder if we'll get an Ophelia any time soon?

    We missed getting Blue-Haired guys and Green-Haired Gals for CYL. I guess the Edel x Byleth ship is too strong.

  16. FE games tend to have NG+, but since I rarely use those features, I'd like more post-game content. Hopefully this post-game content scales well since I haven't cleared Shadows of Valentia's post game because of the level jump, but I guess this is a problem on my part since I was "mister use everybody" in the main campaign.

    @joevar Mentioned the main issues with this route, but if it can be done well I'd like it. Some of the issue probably comes from how well the developers planned to implement the post-game content rather than using DLC as a shoehorn method.
