  1. They're just dumping all of the male avatar alts now huh? I would say M!Kris is next, but that's unlikey, maybe F!Kris since she wasn't on the summer banner this year. As for the other silhouette, my first guess was Heather from RD. Some people were saying Shamir, and a ninja Shamir would make a lot of sense.
  2. @SatsumaFSoysoy She doubles because of Dragon's Ire. You have NFU on Kagero that's why you didn't notice.
  3. @Alexmender@BoaFerox Lol at the one turn clears. I wonder if we'll see a bunch of those this time since it's so trivial. Well here's mine The cheeky Windsweep sword cav made me have to remember Alm needs to be solo to get the extra +5 stats in enemy phase. Without the Duo skill, Odd Speed Wave to avoid the sweep and Obstruct to protect Leif would work.
  4. Them calling it Distant Stance was weirding me out too. I get that in the English they don't want it to be too verbose, but what are they going to call the Steady Stance Distant Counter? I've seen people suspect that the Atk Push variant will be called Distant Force.
  5. Lol at Thunder Armads getting refined before regular Armads like I thought. This batch has a lot of characters that I would like to refine, but I can only do 3 max right now. Interesting that Tiki is getting Far Save, I thought she would give everyone Orders because "With Everyone". So we have Owain now Kliff getting their refines, so Loki is probably next. Unfortunate for Aversa she'll have to wait 5-6 months. Also Surtr and Ophelia refines imminent.
  6. Oh I forgot about the remixes giving stones, but it's still too few to justify increasing the maximum to 20, so we'll see.
  7. That's a lot of dragonflowers in the celestial stone shop. If I looked at it correctly the maximum amount of Celestial Stones anyone can have is 10 or 11(If they gave one for free initially), and the shop is being reset again in May, so that's 7 more for a total of 17 or 18. They definitely have to introduce a way to acquire more stones. Plus people have been complaining about the quantity of Dragonflowers needed to max a unit now-a-days, so I guess this is the band-aid on top of the band-aid
  8. Yeah it's just a hypothetical alt. Like how they had Kinshi Hinoka. I don't know if when they add Severa they'll make her a Bow Knight since her canon upgraded class was Hero from the Future Past DLC. Maybe my Virion x Cordelia ship will be affirmed.
  9. @Jotari Interesting build for Basilio. Since I'm expecting an Awakening banner to come out next I'd think Vaike would be there and have a prf axe with an effect similar to Owain's refine. The refine effect on Missiletainn is basically Counter, and I think Vaike x Lissa is the common pair, but lets not get into that. A lot of the characters that I care about are already in the game, so how about an alt. Selena(Fates) - Blue Bow Cavalier Weapon - Competitive Arch: Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally grants +5 to all stats, and negates effects that prevent unit's follow-up attack or guarantee's foe's follow-up attack. If foe's Atk > unit's Atk before combat, or that unit or an ally has acted during the same phase, unit makes an immediate follow-up attack and grants special cooldown +1 during combat. Special - Luna A - Atk/Spd Catch 4 B - Spd/Def Far Trace 3 C - Fatal Smoke. HP: 38 Atk: 37 Spd: 41 Def: 30 Res: 21 I wanted to mix some things in from her other versions. The lower attack condition can help against strong units that might kill her on retaliation, and it checks the visible stat so it's easier to work around. She'll also need NFU to make her meta relevant. Her goal is to get two attacks off and nuke with Luna, I want to give +10 damage on special, but that's overtuning a bit I feel. This should also work on enemy phase, but her bulk isn't the greatest.
  10. You guys crack me up. How does every 3H thread devolve into this sort of this discussing that barely has anything to do with the main topic? I did the math it takes 2580 total point to get to Dark Knight and 2640 for Gremory, so objectively Dark Knight is easier to get into. The other thing is even if you have say B+ or B in Riding, you still have around 90% chance to pass the cert anyway. Even though riding is useless for your mages until Dark Knight, if we look at Annette(who's the example I've been seeing) she learns Recover at C rank then Abaraxas at A rank, where we can all agree that offensive Faith spells are whatever. So the whole C -> A rank gap of training Faith can also be call useless. I'm guessing that's the case as well. @Shadow Mir is quite the character. The units that have to pick between Dark Knight and Gremory are: Edelgard: Has a flaw in Faith, and stops learning stuff after B rank. (Gimmick, but whatever) Dorothea: Has a budding talent in Faith, but stops learning stuff after C rank. Also a Riding bane, so I'd personally go Mortal Savant. (Please, I'm not trying to derail this even further) Mercedes: Has a really good Faith list so Gremory. Annette: Already explained, similar issues as Edelgard and Dorothea. Lysithea: Faith becomes whatever after learning Warp after B rank, but she has the boon to raise the ranks quickly. She also has Mastermind so either is fine. Marianne: After Silence at B rank Faith there isn't much going on. Similar to Dorothea, but has a Riding boon and Lance budding talent. Constance: Similar to Annette, but since I'm mentioning DLC Dark Flier generally has more benefits. (Again, I'm not trying to derail) Hapi: Similar to Lysithea, but has a boon in Riding instead of Faith. So from what I'm seeing that's 2 units (Edelgard, Hapi) that should go Dark Knight, 2 for Gremory(Mercedes, Constance), and the rest can do whatever. However if we want to look at benefits, a bunch of these characters don't get much from getting A rank Faith, then Dark Knight has canto and +2 damage, which again is objectively better. Disregarding cavalry classes because of the speed penalty isn't a real concern in the context of this game. You aren't doubling many things as a mage outside of Fortress Knights in the endgame anyways. I'm genuinely curious, what's really being argued here? From what @Anathaco said it's just laziness.
  11. Yeah 30s is average, but the skills, weapon, and support make up for it. At base with Plegian Axe and Atk/Def Menace active: -6 (-11) Atk/Def on foe +6 Def on Caellach so effective his 31 base Def works like 54(+6 from visible Def buff and +17 from foe's lowered Atk).
  12. Weapons like Loyalist Axe aren't inheritable. Inheritable weapons have simpler effects and have + variants. I've seen people use Plegian Axe+ on him. Stuff like Atk/Def Menace pairs well with it, then there's the usual Distant Counter, or even a Stance skill for his A slot.
  13. Correct. Felix is a really good Physical unit, so the budding talent and mage classes aren't optimal for him.
  14. Do you have any ideas going in? Some warnings I'd suggest getting your Byleth into a Flying class for this route specifically, because that should make Chapter 13 a little easier. There's plenty of threads discussing that map, so have some sort of plan, but Hard mode isn't too bad. As long as you have a Healer and some good combat units you should be fine. Generally following the unit's Strengths and getting them into class that match. Be wary that some of the budding talents like Felix's is bait, but even then Mortal Savant Felix is usable in Hard mode. Some interesting builds to consider: Wyvern Rider/Lord Annette. She becomes a mobile Rally unit, uses Bolt Axe, Lightning Axe combat art, and Crusher. Hit+20 from mastering Archer will help with the hit rate issues. Dancer Ingrid. She isn't as busted when she is out of house, so she can be a decent support unit. Thoron, Pyshic, and Riding talent are really good.
  15. They know this type of thing would be too good, that's why units like Legendary Chrom has a prf Repositional. Speaking of Chrom I think his is the only one that's 500 SP. Yeah Foul Pay and Future Vision are only 400. Arena would be a lot more tolerable, and requires less no life'ing sitting there reading AI all day. Like I was saying IS is keeping this type of stuff as prf skills on certain units.
  16. This Resplendent Kagero is so funny. The dots are suppose to be like eyes I guess. They don't want just singe dots on her chest area for obvious reasons, but another issue arises lol.
  17. Everyone's getting twisted over RNG Gauntlet, I'm just waiting for the Archest Archer to bring in the win.
  18. I'm Happy to see the TT unit be in a usable unit class since I'm skipping the banner, and I don't want to suffer through the competitive modes. I got super lucky yolo summoning Pirate!Hinoka. Even though Sophia is likely to be slow. H!Sothis in arena? Whatever, I've been Cherche's Axe'ing blue units for years now.
  19. Rallies are neat. The extra support that units like Annette and Ignatz can provide makes the early game for their respective in-house routes easier, but after a while they fall off. Rally Strength isn't too needed when you have Death Blow, and can farm stat boosters to push your units further over the edge. It's nice for characters that have rallies as personal skills, so that you don't have to use up a skill slot for it. Annette, or anyone else can still Rally if nothing else that turn, but usually the 30+ damage chip they can provide is better.
  20. Just joking. The teleportation is usually associated with Fliers and Orders skills.
  21. Of course, wouldn't want Fallen Tiki to be powercreept. I'm looking forward to a prf C slot that gives +2 Mov if he's solo and Canto. We have armors that are fliers (Edelgard), infantry that are cavalry(Alm and Yuri), now it's time for Armors that are cavalry. Speaking of which, I'm thinking the new Fafnir could be on next year's Fallen banner. As far as Mythics go they would still need to release his base version.
  22. Random thought, maybe they'll give Balthus 4 star Quick Reposte. From the trailer he has Instant Axe and Brazen Atk/Def (which is already available on Ares). War Master has QR as a mastery skill, so there could be a reference to that, like how Brazen is a reference to his King of Grappling skill.
  23. I thought so at first, but it looks like an Axe version of Instant Lance. They really shafted him IMO. How are you going to have the "King of Grappling" without grappling. This is why I wasn't expecting these guys until Book 6. Also watch Aelfric be a staff unit and not a Beast. From Gatekeeper's attack animation Aelfric was wielding a Tome so there's that. I'm surprised by Hapi and Contance's tome colors. Hapi is a dark mage which is more associated with red tomes. She's basically a ranged Brave Eliwood, and a damn good demote. I already knew she wasn't going to have good speed before they showed the combat and stats, but she's great regardless. Slaying and built-in Time's Pulse is nuts. Yuri looks crazy too. This banner is super bait, that I might bite if the Legendary Hero Remix goes well for me. WTF, I called Hapi a demote (I knew it was too good to be true), but it doesn't say she's available at 4 star. Isn't this going to upset people since this isn't a CYL or Fallen banner?
