I feel the need to add, fire emblem has built a reputation for amiibo functionality, playable marth, lucina, ike and robin in fates and summonable marth, ike, lucina, robin, roy, and both corns, not to mention alm and celica being on this list with unique functionality in SoV, for them to just give us random resources would be not only out of character for IS in this regard, but incredibly disappointing given how much effort is being put in at this point, keep in mind that they didn't even give us random resources in fates for non compatible amiibo. edit: before anyone mentions it, warriors doesn't necessarily count given that IS' involvement is difficult to get a fix on here.

ballistition should be nerfed hard if it returns (which I hope it does personally), make the turret have limited uses per map, only target one enemy, and be able to kill and we are good on changes, because the AOE crap in fates was broken. Was mire forgeable? I recall it being one of the few "normal" weapons that was unforgeable. I hope we get siege magic again, I hate how it is constantly never given to us in any satisfying way, only 5 uses not purchasable, really expensive when it is, just kills a lot of the fun to be had with them IMO, but if you balance it for maybe 2-3 uses per map that could be able to prevent long ranged spam while allowing the player to actually use it rather than just sitting on it the entire game.

unless you have been living under a rock for the past month (or it got lost in all the other news), you are likely aware that amiibo has been confirmed for three houses in the form of the Amiibo Gazebo, the compatibility is unsurprising, but the functionality is still an unknown, but I will make a bold prediction, amiibo will be playable, given that there are 10 fire emblem amiibo as of this writing that could be a little crazy to just add all of them as they were added in fates, primarily for balancing reasons as ten extra characters is kind of ridiculous, this is where scouting them as potential students comes in, this would mean that you would need to have certain skills to recruit them, thus reducing the total number of them that could be recruited and likewise your options for other student scouting. The process would be that you would walk up to the gazebo, interact with the orb in the center prompting you to tap an amiibo, after tapping the amiibo that character will appear in the courtyard (likely where the lights are showing up, though there are only six, but there could be some out of view) where they can be interacted with, this is where the recruitment process would begin, it will likely be roughly the same as with other characters from there. now I will say why I think there is a strong case that recruitment will be a thing here, one argument is weapons only, all of these characters have weapons that could be easily given to the player, but my argument is if it is an interdimensional mailbox why bother with all this fanfare, a large space sectioned off from the rest of the monastery, all the effort to model the gazebo, the orb, even just designing the thing, this is well beyond what most games do with amiibo, even fates had it shoved off to the side in a communication menu, BoTW used a rune to spawn in chests, warriors was just lost in the extras menu, in all of these cases there was no designated area, why, if it isn't anything big or significant to give the player, have all this extra stuff, the biggest similarity to other game's use of amiibo is that you always have access in the menu, but it is rarely integrated into the game world like this (if at all). Now compare it to fates, when you used the amiibo if fates the character that that amiibo represents will show up at the castle entrance, but imagine doing this in the monastery you could be wandering quite a bit to find the guy you just summoned, or you could find him in the designated area where he always is. So, that's about it, what do you think, or do you have your own speculation as to how this will work? I personally would love to have Ike be all "aww s**t... here we go again" after being pulled from his early retirement for the third time (or fourth if you count smash bros).

Oh yeah, this mode was made for witchy wand.

Admittedly he isn't optimized for this mode, I probably would benefit from giving him seal atk so he and other units aren't taking 10+ damage on retaliation.

sadly my only GF team is my flier emblem team, so it really makes dealing with klein hard and sadly the way it is set up I get the best results out of wailing on tiki when she shows up and most others hurt more than they should, claire has been a real menace in particular, poor legion, I go through all the trouble to +10 him and he is still unviable, are you running braves or just GF? edit: oof, nevermind you said quad, will probably be next go around for stupid quad shenanigans, I'm not sitting on enough feathers ATM. Still gonna pull for 3 wins in a row.

might steal bernadetta and make her an armor, I guess it fits her closed off personality.

Because I like to brag and pretend people care Let's try for 3 in a row.

fire emblem awakening, only entry to fail in every regard, no awkward kaga era annoyances compare to the barebones unbalanced mess that is awakening and unlike shadow dragon there is no good reason, no remake of a game from the 90s here. At least fates has solid gameplay.

I've managed to break 1 million, but now there is a guy who is gaining on me, I hope I can hold out, 1 axe left. Est and elincia are easily able to cap score against tiki, but I don't have any good teams for the other rokkr.

true, but they still gave us playable dragon units in the form of corn and a pun relating to kana or children in general, even if it wasn't related to the plot at all, it was still the case, lilith would have been redundant and OP if she was able to S support producing a 5th possible dragon, besides, they needed a sacrificial lamb to make us feel bad in the late game.

I recall it being mentioned that crests can simply appear, this is likely a failsafe to prevent any crests from vanishing due to the elimination of bloodlines, which could point to nemesis not being related to byleth.

much as I think this is one of the the worst summer banners to have been released, I found that to be funny, why this is not a common format is beyond me.

now, send him to the shadow realm!

In his defense the jokes and memes threads have been a sort of tradition since fates. Perhaps he made the thread too early, but this seems more like an inevitability than anything else.

maybe swift sparrow 3 is perfect if you are a whale, but if you are FTP, you take what you can get, swift sparrow 3 isn't easily accessible, especially if you are currently light on orbs. Knowing what you actually have access to is important for clears.

guess now you have two ways to do that, I mean it is a noteworthy skill, so I thought it best to note, some people don't even know that naesala gives swift sparrow. I'm sure that there will be some builds will require flashing blade and two b slots though.

Flashing blade is now FTP thanks to yilgr, I don't think this changes much, but it certainly is a thing of note.

if this is the case it is basically the return of the master knight and baron with I dunno the harbinger for the final tier flier, using every weapon (including gauntlets don't @ me) and magic. then again the master knight was only so cool because it was very limited, I think only lachesis in gen 1 had it, but if it was an everyone gets it deal, I think it would be too cluttered.

naesala gives it at 5*, not regularly available, but it is still FTP.

good grief, what's next, summer meg, oh wait, no, that would be remotely interesting. still though, tempting as swift sparrow 4 is, I don't really need it now, not bad for orb saving, it is astonishing how IS manages to constantly botch up my favorite theme, how is it that year 1 was the best summer by far?

If sothis is playable, do you think she will be able to use the sword of the creator? She seems to have a connection to it and her character art depicts her holding it in a fashion that almost displays ownership, I think it would be pretty cool if plot relevant stuff like that was taken into account, like how in awakening marth could use falchion, but not have stupid crap like lucina's sibling not being able to use falchion.

to be completely frank edlgard the one who manages to get a worse design post timeskip, as for the others, I can't really care about plot irrelevant characters.

You had better have a pretty incredible beard if you want to use that holy name (or have a legion of singing bugs following you around preferably singing rasputin)

My favorite designs thus far are Ingrid, Venom "Punished" Dimitri, and Sothis, I don't like the art direction, but at least I can find something to appreciate. I guess I know who my team is for sure now, might pick a few to steal from the others.
