So do they still not name the actual continent the game takes place in.

I'm expecting the ones without exclusive weapons in the 3-4 Stars Pools.
I would see Joshua being part of the 4-5* Star pool (but he would be a 5* Star exclusive, who knows); the same with Black Knight.
_________________
I would like to get Summer Tiki, but I need to have priorities... I need to see the main banners first.
Black Knight feels a level more "premium" than other units so even though Zelgius is him but better, I can see him be in the 5* exclusive pool. Probably helps he was also literally premium since you could effectively buy him during that one month he was in an orb pack.
Joshua, while I feel he's not amazing, was a farfetched hero. And all his comrades got the 5* treatment.

I'm sure it's been discussed to death and my sentiments are shared, but I really hope they decide to throw the non-seasonal, non-masked marth tempest units into the summoning pool as well. Several of them would be fine 3-4* units, though a few would probably be 5* exclusive (Black Knight, probably Joshua).
At the very least throwing Gerome in would be nice, I'd probably throw a poleaxe or two around just for AA options.

Which characters do you expect to be used in the June/July and July/August Summer Banners?
I'm surprised we still don't have Summer CamillaSummer Anna because dang it, she's gotta get those photos no matter what. If they stick with 2 themed summer banners isntead of like, changing things up and having one summer and one not maybe we can get Tellius summer with Ike, Mist, Sothe, Michaiah and...mmmm. Magvelian summer? Actually a jurgdal themed seasonal would be kind of nice, get those serious kids in some goofy clothes. And the excuse for more reinhardts with double weaponry

Not gonna lie, I am a wee bit annoyed that adult Tiki lost her 1-2 range. But oh well.
I had a feeling it'd become falchion breath, but part of me thought it' could be a "light" version of Expiration and be refined to take away the special charge thing.
Falchion with the weird bond is at least novel

I think those picks made sense even before seeing the CYL2 results. Even before CYL2, Reinhardt had clearly become the best-known FE5 character, and Nino was the biggest non-lord FE7 character. (She did rank below Dorcas in CYL1, but they could tell that was because of the memes.)
It's also possible that they have other methods for evaluating the popularity of characters between CYL events.
I presume they track (provided you allow it, you can disable it) user data showing who uses what. It doesn't take a genius to see Reinhardt was used all the time forever (thus adding in like what 6 skills and as many units designed to weather the thunder?) and Nino was the go-to blade unit on infantry buff teams.

Now, that we have an alt for Reinhardt and Nino, two characters that placed in top 10 for their respective gender in CYL2, could it mean that those alts have been designed AFTER CYL2? Since before them, there were Eirika and Chrom (not counting Fallen Heroes as alts), who are protagonists in their games, something that Nino and Reinhardt are not (I now Olwen is there too, but she could be there just for Rein)
their artwork is copyrighted 2017 so possibly not. Rein & Nino had fairly obvious popularity before the CYL2 poll ran, so they were probably safe bets to give the go ahead on.

Perhaps the issue is buffing their weapons would likely call for a story reason for the buff, which would require them hyping it up. And maybe they don't want to pull out a power level boost too early in what will be a plot that will take years to come to complete? Since if you do it once and need to do it again later, the second time loses impact? It's not real big issue though, and they don't actually have to explain it in plot, assuming they don't really care about it. Maybe you could preserve the drama by including a non-plot mentioned "simple" upgrade- so Folkvangr into Folkvangr Custom/*Insert Norse word for some noun or adjective* Folkvangr. And then later in the plot, Folkvangr is destroyed/rendered null, and Alfonse is forced to obtain the "Orzel Bialy", a more powerful distinctly-anti problematic baddie sword (or they can give it to us as a Bow/Dagger/Staff/Tome and go Legendary with Fonsy, perhaps a story chapter that ends with you picking one free member of the trio of Legendary Askrians), to replace it.
Didn't notice the reply until now, but why would they need a reason for a refinement (which is what I'm talking about anyway, not an "evolution" ala the armads), though. It's not like their legendary weapons are ever referenced in-game to begin with, (Alfonse references his in one base quote and not even by name) since despite being in their artwork there is no guarantee they'll even have them since you have to upgrade to them

There's nothing stopping them from putting up more quests.
Or coming up with a new system to let us get more merge levels on limited gift characters in general.
the year is 2021
all GHBs, Tempest Units and Kaze can be merged to +10
The askr trio are still alone and without refinements

I suspect that they're considering people who don't have the ability to play everyday and who might otherwise miss out on the orbs, etc. If they start a new Tap Battle right after this one ends, there's no reason not to keep it available since people who are done can ignore it, and people who aren't can still get those rewards.
I think 2 weeks is fine, but they're the ones with the data I suppose. But it's still weird to just discontinue the daily quests for them.
-
Maybe they wanted to try a different way of teasing sets (lets reveal a code word now, then just focus on the upcoming set, then come back to it) and went against it? Maybe the fanbase working itself into a frenzy is why they went ahead and showed off set 15 here and now rather than just giving a code word.
But regarldess of it not being normal at the same time they did not try to really hype the set up. Not mentioning it at all in the interim , to me, says they weren't trying to hype it up. They weren't trying to build a mystery. Unusual but nothing more.
-
the way you people are going on and on about this set you'd think they spent months constantly hyping up the set
7 minutes ago, domilea said:Was S14 originally intended to be FE16's, but then FE16's release ended up later than they expected, so they had to change things around?
And I will assume it is absolutely not this because card art alone, much less all the other nonsense that goes into these sets, would have to be commissioned well ahead of time

Huh, just noticed no more Tap Battle daily quests, even though the event still has 15 days to run. On the one hand, that's really weird, and I lose out on 100 feathers a day (I'm annoying on 43999 right now). On the other hand, I can now ignore that the event exists for the next two weeks, and that's great.
i wonder why they made this a month long if they're removing the daily quests half way in and only had 3 extra stages.
Personally I would have had daily quests take you through all the bosses then loop (instead of just looping through 2 forever), had more extra stages and probably had a second set of "Tap Battle" quests (the non daily ones) that replace the first set.
-
I am more than fine with there being only one, just lower his appearence rate a bit.
Giant bosses were kind of th worst part of HW, honestly, and I'm glad the FEW had only one and had him very managable thanks to dual strikes and such.
-
I'm glad we're finally getting double stat skills because maybe we'll be free from the blight of a million stat +3 skills from squad assault

They could make Zacharias be a lance-wielding legendary hero even though that would probably piss off a lot of people since he's just Bruno's alias. If Bruno ever becomes playable as Zacharias, I hope he has a lance, generic or personal, with Lancebreaker EX as its effect. It would make for a good reference him being a skilled lance user and Sharena's teacher. Also, it would for some double -breaker shenanigans like default Setsuna has with Assassin's Bow (Daggerbreaker EX) and Colorless Bowbreaker 3. Regular Lancebreaker as a B passive works too, but I'd like to see more weapons with -breaker skills.
Now that I think about it, did Heroes ever use Awakening's Outrealm Portal as a plot point in its story? Not sure if M!Grima's Tempest Trials counts. I don't think they did with Fates's Dragon Gate, but Elibe's was mentioned by Bruno as something that opens to other worlds and that someone could have used it look into other worlds even though I think it only opened up to Nils and Ninian's home.
I am a bit surprised they've never tried another weapon, even just a personal one, with in-built breaker properties. AT least, I'm pretty sure Assassin's Bow is the only one.
I don't think the other gates, beyond mention of Elibe's Dragon Gate, have been mentioned or used in Heroes' story. The tempest's mishmash are usually from the actual tempest causing things to go haywire and otherwise the only gates mentioned are the ones askr/embla open/close

Oh, that was a while ago. I had to look it up and Bruno was talking about Bramimond's tome, Apocalypse. I'm not sure if he took the tome or read from it to learn more about Embla's curse and Elibe's Dragon Gate. Also, apparently Fates has a Dragon Gate too? From this chapter in Heroes: https://feheroes.gamepedia.com/Vengeful_Mercenary.
Problem is that Bruno hasn't shown up in any of the Book 2 chapters. Even sections where they're showing what he's doing meanwhile the Order of Heroes fights Muspell would be nice to see what's he's been up too. I swear if the real explanation for his absence is that he's already gone mad and locked up in one Muspell's dungeons.
Yeah my suggestion was mostly a joke poking fun at Bruno being awol for months only to suddenly come out of nowhere as a legendary hero and not even using his actual signature tome.
And yeah Fates has a Dragon Gate. It takes the place of the Outrealm Portal/Gate that Awakening had.

Loki and Veronica were looking for Lyon's Naglfar, but not only has Lyon not shown up in any story or paralogue maps, I don't remember off hand if it was ever mentioned again. And gameplay-wise, Naglfar's not that amazing of a tome for many since it's just a legendary -raven tome compared to pretty much any of the other legendary/personal tomes and some of the generic ones. It would be hilarious if its refined effect and assuming they do this, possessed Lyon's version of Naglfar are both lackluster, but in-universe it's still treated as the reason why Surtr and Loki were able to do everything. Or it's actually nothing special too and Loki just wanted to test Veronica by having her troll Lyon, the world of Magvel, and the Order of Heroes.
Here's the map it was mentioned in: https://feheroes.gamepedia.com/The_Silver_Knight.
I was actually thinking of the blazing blade paralogue, where it opened with Bruno finding some information in the FE7 world, and then mixing it up with Veronica/Loki looking for Naflgar
-
It'd be kind of funny if they blindsided us with Bruno using a red tome. Wasnt he looking for one of those in a paralogue? Ereshkigal?

Maybe I'll do a video capture of my runs and post it here later when I'm able to since I think it would be better seeing it rather than explaining it.
Edit: The video files were too big to upload here but basically my strategy is just get into awakening mode as soon as possible and kill all the captains as soon as you can so more will spawn in and try to keep the mission objectives moving forward. If a captain drops one of those big blue awakening refills I mostly leave it on the ground in case I need it later.
On Owain's gold rush I go to the right to kill three monster captains and then go into awakening mode. Then I kill the remaining monsters and mages around me and move over to the fafnir attacking the villager. Then I deal with Validar and move my way northeast killing all the captains along the way and making sure to kill those gold promoted looking monsters and the fafnir standing in the corner in a giant northern room. Once the Assassins come in you can basically stand in the middle of the map since all the captains starts chasing after you and you should have plenty of things to kill until times up.
On Emmeryn's gold rush I go to the nearest base with the manaketes and kill them and activate awakening mode. Then I deal with Tiki, then Lissa, then the Gold Transporters and then any other captains left and try to keep Awakening on for as long as possible. I mostly just keep moving to whichever captain is closest to me
I was just coming to post about what I was doing and saw the edit: thankfully we have about the same plan, though I stick towards the upper part of the map sometimes.
Also turns out the missing pieces was equipping Galeforce and giving Anna her Awakening 3 crest. I still get a bit below 120k on most runs (usually the sweet spot is ~115k) but I think that's more because I wind up dropping awakening due to lingering in an area too long
Really it's just a shame at most you're looking at ~140k if you were to use the blessing (+sold weapons) and had a perfect run. If the blessing just straight up doubled gains that'd be amazing.

I highly doubt all seven brides will be bonus units. It will probably be the new 3+marth+4 others. Like I could see Fjorm back as a bonus unit.
It's also possible they just go with an entirely different theme. Marisa was on a tempest (coincidentally, the last time we had Loki as a boss) that was made entirely of Legendary Banner units (Fjorm, L-Ike, Gunnthra, PA-Azura, B-Lucina, S-Robin, S-Xander)

Got perfect scores on every Rival Domains difficulty this week via auto-battle. It's gotten pretty trivial.
i'm still having difficulties finishing things on Lunatic, personally. Even with the changes, the final push to the base can be dificult depending on positioning, the teams you're fighting and of course your own team composition.

That's....kind of amazing, really.
Like long term a name for the continent doesn't REALLY matter but it's just been one of those things, you know? I really was expecting some Big Lore (& Big Retcons) so not even the name of the continent is shocking.
