This thread has been quite silent for a while, so lets recap what have been happening. First, a new Resplendent has been announced, being Fallen Male Robin (aka Male Grima) with Múspell Attire, and in my opinion that art is so good! Same artist as Groom Male Robin, Kano Akira. Then, we are also having the comeback of Rokkr Sieges during this Golden Week celebration. First Round against Loki and Spring Loki was already done, and now we are in Round 2 against Hel and Thorr. Honestly, Thorr's Worldbreaker is quite annoying. I recommend using Legendary Female Byleth's Drive Tempo to help against her. Round 3 will be against: Today we also had the late April First video. It was... something. We also got this song in the Concert Hall (The Musical Tree). FInally, the Mythic Hero Loki data was released today. Her stats are:

I have to say... Bride Loki has a very nice art, but it is kinda weird we got a bride seasonal in April.

Btw, very funny the censorship on Loki's art. Gave me Naruto's censored sexy jutsu vibes for sure.

Makes sense Loki in getting a Mythic Alt because feels weird in Thorr being one but not Loki, although I didn't expect it on this book. Her color share is alright. Guinivere is okay-ish, but Ginnungagap is quite good. Too bad she is a Dark Mythic. Not that interested in defensive Mythics. Being able to remove bonus effects of foes is an nice effect. The banner is still a skip though.

Hmm... I wonder if this banner has a chance of winning a future revival poll. It having only an Attuned Hero makes it less interesting than the two previous banners, that had both an Attuned and a Rearmed or Ascended Hero. Also, when this Fates banner gets added to the poll, it will be alongside with the May's New Heroes banner, which we all predict to be Fallen Heroes. And we all know that those Fallen Heroes banners are usually very popular. Of course, this will only happen way later this year, so we still have time.

The only case I can see being worthy to run Mercy-Wing Echo on a dancer with prf dance is if you plan to run the "Pass 3 + Mercy-Wing" combo to allow your dancer to warp into a Warp Bubble area, since Pass allows your unit to ignore Gatekeeper/Myrrh/Valentine Myrrh's effect. But even that, it is kinda niche, and I would only see it on the Mythic Dancers in AR. In Arena, it doesn't have much use.

Very weird that Yukimura is a slow unit that doesn't have guaranteed follow-up.

According to the datamine, the next Forma Heroes are:

Just remember that non Rearmed/Attuned Dancers cannot use Mercy-Wing Echo with their personal dance skill (Legendary Azura cannot run Gray Waves+ alongside an Echo skill). Overall the banner is a skip to me, but some nice Heroes there. I liked Yukimaru's Drive 30% Null DR.

Here's the Calendar List, made by @DarkAlf and I.

@SatsumaFSoysoy Nice clear! I was expecting Thorr to be the one to defeat Ike with an AoE Special, but Lyn with her Godlike Reflexed did the job very well thanks to the healing support of Gatekeeper and Hortensia! @Landmaster Well done! Great use of the Savage Blow and Gravity combo to slowly reduce Ike's HP while keeping him from not reaching your Elises! The kill at the end was still very close! @GuiltyLove Congrats on getting Duo Robin! I didn't realize they can be refreshed by using an assist skill. I thought it was only when them used it, like how Chrom and Lucina works. Pretty cool! And yeah, Hush Spectrum helped against Ike for sure!

I don't see that ever happening. My fear would be IS giving big boobs to male lords, just to sell them as Summer Heroes in swimsuits.

What a beautiful Mirabilis! The Bonus Doubler + Dodge combo is quite nice, especially with the bonuses granted on Atk/Spd/Def.

Cool that Staff units can finally score the same as others heroes, since Magic Shield+ is a 400 SP assist skill, finally granting them a high scoring assist.

Is it just me or Duo Robin is just an Emblem Ike counter? lol It would be funny to have a demonic child on the banner. lol

Yes, Chrom being the backpack is totally possible. We had others examples of that being a thing in the past, like Female Byleth being both the leading unit (Summer alt) and the back unit (Winter), Male Byleth too (leading in Winter, back in Halloween) and also we have the Magvel Triforce of Eirika, Ephraim and Lyon where all 3 were both leading and back units with each other. I can easily see that happening, for sure!

At least Chrom shouldn't be the Duo Hero, since he already has a Duo Alt. It could be Young Robin though. I can't wait for another Rally Spectrum unit... I expect Frederick to be the 4* special or the grail unit.

Nah, it's not that. Bernadetta's Army was twice as big as Linhardt's. He was just lucky of getting the final multiplier. Voting Gauntlet is more about luck than popularity. If being popular was the only thing that mattered, Edelgard would be the winner of the past four A Hero Rises Voting Gauntlets.

You are getting the events mixed up. We usually only get new Hero Fests for the Anniversary (Febtruary) and Half-Anniversary/Summer Celebration (August). Golden Week gets the CYL Hero Fests of all years.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Unless they reschedule someone and announce that in April's banner notification, looks like the new Hero will be green, sharing color with Legendary Female Alear and Rearmed Lucina. Can't even say Fae is on the remix schedule since she is not, and blue remixes already have 4 heroes. Another weird case is June. It has 4 greens now: Camilla, Xander, Seidr and Heidr. But on that, my guess is that we will have older New Hero Banners as daily banners for a Mid-Book Celebration, and that would count Seidr & More and Heidr & More on those reruns. Last year we got older New Heroes banners in the Half Anniversary celebration, banners from CYL 5 to Ascended Celica & Ymir (so just before CYL 6), so the reruns this year could be from CYL 6 to Rearmed Alcrys & Eitr (just before CYL 7).

Took me some time until I could find a way to deal with this map by using only Marths, but the solution was actually quite simple. @GuiltyLove Nice clear! Don't feel ashamed in having to use what you called "cheat", since Ike himself is a cheat in person. The Macedon army did well in dealing with foes and then positioning right to deal with the Radiant Hero.

A new Voting Gauntlet event is coming! Which army will you support? Predictors by @DarkAlf: PREDICTOR A PREDICTOR B

To me, the way to counter Ike in his map was by using Scowl. If he doesn't trigger his special, he cant deal massive damage or heal back. Seiros and Lumera tanked him so well. Or an ally with Veyle support. Winter Byleth can also tank him, but Ike has to at least move one space to trigger the Scowl.

Emblem Ike has super boons in Atk and Def, and super banes in HP, Spd and Res.

I didn't realize how annoying is to get all skills from Caeda. To get Pledge, you need Oath, and the only other hero with Def/Res Oath is New Year Alfonse.
