That's a shame wanted to hear what they had to comment on Claude as a unit.

Aside from the rest of the Lord trio I don't care that much about new legends as much as merging my current ones. What I care is new the Astra mythic that September MUST have. Unless the dancer duo is too broken or the banner has something too crazy I will try to get 2 copies of the hero to run especially if the Mythic has support capabilities. Altina and Naga are garbage as Mythics because of the fact they have nearly non existant support capabilities.

About their statlines. What I'll do is pull actively on green with blue as backup. Claude requires way too much investment to work for me and Lysethia doesn't add much to my barracks, especially since her job can be completed from the summer duo.

I agreed with everything he said. Credibility of CYL in the future will be debatable if anyone can have a character like Jorge get into the game like this. Especially when that spot could be taken by another popular character like Jill, Shinon, a 3H student. Another character with the good treatment he got (a personal weapon, a nice statline) could become the next big grail project of many people and at the same time be someone people actually like. Nothing against Jorge as a character simply against the guy that got him in and not as much as I am mad at IS. The disappointing thing is that IS actually put him in the game and cared enough to also draw Daniel in his art. What I am saying is that IS, the ones that created the poll more than rewarded the fact that someone cheated in such a way. Now who knows how many people will attempt something similar with other such characters that aren't popular or memes and were simply artificially put into these positions. This year we had Jorge, last year (I think) we had the smash YouTuber that didn't even play the game rally for F Robin (if I remember correctly). CYL at this point is more of a heroes poll rather than a general FE poll and that's not a bad thing, IS simply needs to do something to prevent such things from happening again.

That's her thing , she claims Sothis's children are evil, she barely mentions the loli goddess herself if I am not mistaken. But that's another talk. L.Ed stands at 52 Hp 43 def currently (with Summoner support), with Aymr she can take a single hit from him. If he initiates she takes the one hit and QR cripples him allowing her to get the kill next turn. It was a close call leaving her with 4 or 5 Hp if I remember. Surprised it worked. That was great, especially liked how you dealt with the red Armorslayer at the end.

This week I demoted from T21 to 20 as this wasn't a wind season. I used Hel to tank my way to 5 matches. This week since Julia will be bonus and there will be an earth season I will bless my core team and maybe I'll get the 3rd crown. As good as Cecilia is she doesn't even have C slot and is unmerged she is a no in arena. I will keep her in non red Astra offence to ruin everyone's day (she is getting good at this).

I used mixed phase Legendary Edelgard and soloed the map within 3 turns. The first foes died extremely easily within 1 turn. I left the armor slayer for last and tanked him in turn 2's enemy phase so after he was doubled with QR he was left with 4 hp and a glorious Aether proc brought victory in turn 3.

That would be awesome actually. Edelgard will have her crown, Claude will have his bandana from the dlc hairstyle and Lysethia will have the Gremory cap as accessory. Mostly I like interactions between characters from different games but this time I want the Lords and Lysethia to interact among themselves. Post tineskip every time they meet people around them and they themselves are dying literally, it would be nice to have their timeskip selves interact with each other in a peaceful way. Edelgard and Claude talking about their similar ideas and how they executed them differently, Edelgard and Lysethia about their unique situation, Claude and Lysethia talking on a different setting outside the war where Claude is more at ease, Dimitri talking to Edelgard about their shared past something that in their world they couldn't discuss in a peaceful/healthy way, Dimitri should interact with the GD members more as by the time they dealt with them in AM he was obsessed with Edelgard if I am not mistaken.

Sharena's introductions got updated and have the CYL units now. Dimitri's introduction has to be my favourite as it described his story really well. Also Lysethia's mention of Edelgard to the close allies section was awesome as their support is one of my favourites in the entire game. Boob plate talk aside, Edelgard's art is stunningly beautiful. Her damaged art is my favourite in all of Feh especially as her hair is not in her crown thing (didn't expect that art from the guy who drew summer Rhea and Byleth). Claude's art is also amazing, think it was drawn by Wada Sachico so of course it's great. Spent too much time analysing the introductions. Really looking forward their conversations in FB. Gonna make a bold prediction and say that Jorge will be one of the strongest grails in the game and will cause terror to everyone in AR.

So when using Brave Axe it's better to stack as much Atk as you can (using her base A slot and DB3 seal for example), while using Aymr the A slot can have HB4 (especially when running Galeforce). I will do some playtesting (friend mock battles and TTs) to see whether I prefer Aymr's more consistent damage or Brave Axe's two hits that might be weaker. Another unrelated question. How is Atk calculated while having weapon triangle disadvantage? For example a unit has 60 Atk at base, death blow and a +6 Atk buff. That unit in combat would normally have 72 Atk. When at disadvantage it will become 57 (72 * 0.8)? And if unit has a star comparing skill, will it compare the original or the reduced Atk?

It seems pretty crazy that so many people are discussing the boob armor of all things. Edelgard being a constant source of conflit for whatever reason is pretty funny actually. On the other hand there is a difference that's noticeable This sentence pretty much sums up my opinion after taking a look at the in-game model. They are pretty similar, it's not like Edelgard from completely flat became a new Camilla. However, the more I stare at her art the more it looks a bit weird. Regardless, she has a massive shield to protect her so she doest care about how practical the boob armor is and the rest of the armor looks sick especially when looking her chibi model.

Thanks, that's really helpful. About my previous build in case someone is interested. What you mentioned about Aymr giving her good defences is what scares me and prevents me from going full brave axe (then again quading dragons/beasts can be a beautiful thing). I think HB4 is objectively the best A slot for her unless someone lacks a source he is willing to give up or has in mind an A slot that grants over 6 Atk for a build. But HB is needed for Galeforce. 4 even more as it grants 5 true damage that is extremely helpful when trying to one-shot a red, death blow and soon enough a Atk/Stat solo seal will give her Atk. I am not that crazy about Raptured Sky as Aether is great as well. However, Galeforce allows for sweeping only she can do. My build would be Aymr Smite/scoring skill Galeforce HB4 Raging Storm Armored stride Death blow/ Atk/Res solo (when available as I am not willing to give up stats for Quickened pulse) I am now wondering how to help her at the beginning of the battle to get ahead without falling back and set the killing machine do it's job. What I originally did was have Leila teleport her but she is good with many units and she isn't always there to help Edelgard.

That's actually my take on things as well. If Dimitri is going to have 178 BST and is also extremely tanky, then Edelgard and pretty much every armor to an extent in order to keep their niche and be different from infantries that have the same BST , then 185 BST is a must and min maxed statlines should also be a more common thing. Personally I think that only cavalries, fliers and ranged armors needed to get a boost to begin with, armors had plenty of BST and infantries were already insane as they were but let's not get there. But to talk about what you said about her spread. If Edelgard has 185 BST and as the channel showed her full HP is 48, she can have exactly 40 to Atk/Def/Res and she is left with 17 spd which is most likely her actual Spd and getting doubled doesn't matter to her that much due to the damage reduction and this also is her legendary variant's Spd. I personally think her Atk is going to he a bit higher from 41 to 42 (Rudolf can keep 43 warm for Boar Dimitri), her Res will be 40 as it's the focus of her kit and Def will be dropped for 1 or 2 points depending on her attack.

Brave Edelgard arrived and she is amazing in EP and not that bad in player phase due to the follow up and the crazy mobility. However, mixed phase was was what I was running on my bad natured Legendary Edelgard (Raging Storm for a good PP and hit and run shenanigans and DC with Aymr and QR/Distant Defence 3 for a good EP). So I want to give her the Galeforce build to distinguish them and make them both worth using. She has as far as skills go Aymr, Brave Axe+, Smite/Double rally (not + yet), Aether (lacking GF now and that's another reason to try and go for Blue aside Dimitri), DC, HB4 and the rest of her base kit. Mangos will allow me to give her +Atk -Def and she is +1 so with 7 flowers she can get to a base 49 Atk. However, I generally don't have much experience with purely PP like her and if I remember correctly many people here use her for GF (her optimal skillset I guess). What's her most optimal build? Is Aymr consistent or is Brave Axe better and generally some tips on how to use her since she is quite different that most units.

In-game Edelgard's chest is on the smaller side of things while the artwork seems to enlarge it quite a lot. For me in-game they seem like normal breasts that you could see in a real life woman (unlike Byleth and Rhea). Personally I really liked that Edelgard was popular for her character and not chest (Camilla comes to mind), so when the other versions were faithful to the sourse material it made me kind of glad. Then this one arrives but again that's nitpicking, at the end of it IS couldn't decide themselves whether she was busty or not.

I personally picked Claude in YT and Edelgard in Twitter. Claude is extremely self sustainable and will be crazy with all the high stats stats, healing and with a seal perhaps mobility. Edelgard has amazing movement, a great player phase and even if her enemy phase isn't that offensive she will receive very few damage.

I agree with what you and everyone said about the Abyssals. The 2nd place winners are replaced by F2P options despite their uniqueness. Dimitri for me is going to be used in AR offence definitely where debuffs will be everywhere and everyone runs low def nukes and that's where he can truly shine. In Abyssals all the stat inflation might pose a problem, also as the Bow flier didn't double him that means that he is not so minmaxed which in turn means that aside from his high Atk (because Dimitri) and Defence (because of the B slot) he also comes with a middling Spd that might hurt his Res and Abyssal annoying mages could be very dangerous supposing he has 178 BST and he has 41 HP (as shown), 40 Atk, 30 Spd (could be higher as these guys are really fast) and 40 def his Res ends up at 27. Not saying that Edelgard is better, at least Dimitri can counterattack everyone and not only mages and a seal can help him with mages a lot especially when paired with the reduction. She may have the superior mixed bulk for obvious reasons however, when SI isn't a factor and the armor protecting shield isn't out yet she does fall short against bows, daggers that can keep hitting her and hurt her as long as they want and Armorslayers will kill her with ease and all of them are pretty common and scary in abyssals. However, as @Othinsaid PM1 uses mostly grail units to make it easy and available for everyone so the CYL pick does not really matter. I mean recent grali units are crazy and available to every active player. Personally, I don't use guides for Abyssals anymore as I like finding my own solutions, so I can freely grab a random Dimitri and mango him for AR and focus on Edelgard that I am extremely excited about and want to +10 in the future.

For the people that follow F2P guides Dimitri is dominating PM1's polls. It seems logical considering how good and unique he is. People I guess found Lysithea underwhelming and Edelgard and has the HP threshold so that may scare people. I thought that Claude with his massive healing would be the obvious F2P choice as Dimitri is going to be purely EP most likely with what is a middling Spd most likely. I wonder if the statlines will change that.

I've been thinking about builds for him and something like the following seems pretty good Wind Parthia Reposition/Rally+(Coloseum) Moonbow/Glimmer/Raptured Sky. Close Counter/Close Foil QR (to bypass impact type of effects) Atk/Spd Rein Iote's shield This isn't a crazily expensive build as we get 2 sourses of Close counter for free(one is hard to get but point remains). At neutral with no merges and flowers and no support he will have the following (I suppose that he has 4 less defence because Sharena gives him fortify def), 42 HP, 55 Atk, 49 Spd, 32 Def, 34 Res and if foe initiates on him he will heal 21 HP for every attack (supposing no guard effects are applied). If someone seriously wants to make him a tank then they will give him a good nature (an easy thing to do with the mangos), merges and proper support.

I am really looking forward to seeing their stats. I have two spare DCs and I will give one to Edelgard definitely. Also I am leaning towards Dimitri for my male choice the more I look at him. Especially If I give him the Def/Res version of his A skill, when that releases. Also even with one copy with the IV mango I can make him +Def -Spd/HP and not even merge him and have him rocking. Such a unique unit, I am also lacking someone in his class, unlike flying units (Camilla is an absolute monster whether it comes to offence or support and Hel is the absolute flying tank). I must collect the Spd/Res version of Dimitri's A skill for Freya when she releases.

Edelgard for me is the best choice. As long as she has more that 25% HP she gains the best movement an armor ever had, in combat debuffs on foe, follow ups and massive damage reduction to the second attack. Pair this with the monstrous bulk she most likely possess and she can even ruin your day in AR not only Arena definitely she will be my free picks (with my small budget, merging her properly is a dream). Lysethea is good but kind of boring for me at least. Won't bother with red at all. Now the males are where I am having trouble. They are both so good I am having trouble choosing. I love how Dimitri is unique and dumped his Spd for what must be an amazing bulk and his B slot makes him one of the most unique units in the game especially with all the bloat of fast infantries that use the Spd version of the skill. Claude is also really good and I like it. His weapon is absolutely crazy with the +5 to stats and the massive healing. Also the with the C slot he gains pretty much +5 Atk and +9 Spd/Def/Res. With a simple Moonbow or Glimmer he can destroy many things. If I get him I want to replace the A, B and SS slot with Close Counter, QR and Iotes shield respectively and make him a unique tank for the fun of it. Or simply with his base kit. It's just sad course that B seems like a placeholder for what could have been a Golden Deer Rule skill, that makes me wonder if perhaps Martha should have gotten his place so he could get Justice done to him, still he is incredibly versatility and interesting. As have already said I will go full green for as many Edelgards as I can get, I will skip Red and now I have a problem. I would like to get one of the males. Dimitri is different from all my fast infantries so he will bring a change to my barracks, while Claude is incredibly interesting and versatile.

I hope so too. Might actually give her more votes, she might not get brave but she can get some crazy alts and I am here for it.

Next CYL I will vote for Rhea, Seiros, Freya and then I will rally behind Marth and Seliph, they need more love. Also watched PM1's video and I hadn't notice that Dimitri also has the Breath effect so that's nice. Afterwards, I watched the channel again and noticed something interesting about Edelgard. Dimitri's second video shows him fight a bow cavalier. After that we see that the bow is adjacent to Edelgard. When she moves she not only has 2 movement but also the orders effect. As she is next to a horse that means she gave those effects to herself. Pair her crazy movement with a 75 to 80% damage reduction and free follow ups and she pretty much becomes an absolute demon that will spread terror in every mode.

That's actually an amazing combo. I've been using Hel quite a lot these days and I didn't think about this. Even at neutral with all flowers and Spd/Res Solo she can tank one mage or two. When does Eir return (quite the Irony an Eir will die to make Hel stronger, IS did or on purpose) ? I need to make this happen (I hate guard bearing).

What I believe is that infantries have gone way too far for anyone to try to catch up to them. They have nul skills, luls, Special Spriral, Time's pulse and most importantly Spurn/Close Call/repel. An infantry of any playstyle has way more toys to play with than any other movement type. Fliers for example have Pegasus flight that is utter garbage for most units, Guard Bearings (I think it's called) that protects from only a single attack and dive bomb that is available to only melle. Ranged fliers and Dragon fliers don't have anything at all. Even non ranged ones have mediocre options. A unit like Hel can protect herself from only a single attack in the enmy phase, if she was infantry she would be able to reduce every attack for pretty much the same damage. The difference is there. Armors have low Spd and that means that most follow up related effects will shut down stuff like VF, BF and similar skills immediately, also they have extremely bad movement that in modes like Arena where you can't run stuff like Reposition that easily they hinder the entire team's movement. Why use them while infantries have pretty much the same BST and don't have these flaws? Cavalries for me are in a similar spot but not as bad. Even if they have a good statspread their extremely low BST hinders them that I do believe. For example a gen 5 cavalier will have around 167 BST while an infantry would have around 178. And while player phase units can get away with a min-maxed statline, enemy or mixed phase units will suffer. Skill wise they do have Luls and that's why I believe they are better than others, also their good movement in modes like AR does shine especially on defense. Also the good cavalies like Eliwood, Rein, Veronica are some of the most scary units in the game. Horse beasts like Panne, Yarne and the Lethes are really scary units that I hate facing. New additions like Pirate Veronica and Legendary Seliph do make things better as they are unique and good at the same time. Also the weapons that are effective against them are not so common/used only Michys and now Lysethea will do effective damage against them most of the time. Their problem is low BST that more flowers and the new gen might help somehow and annoying terrain, for me at least.
