Fire Emblem Fan Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 We'll be getting word of the next Resplendent within the next couple of days. I'm thinking it's getting to be about the time they cycle back to Nifl, and they'll probably give us another 5-star character since we just got both the 3/4-stars Chrom and Nino back-to-back. I'll predict Brave Lyn. Yeah, let's go with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Brave Lyn getting Amazon Country to complement Brave Ike getting Steampunk Country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulously Olivier Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I don't think you'll be getting another Brave Resplendent until the next anniversary. That's how I think they're doing it and should be doing it. One per year, likely to never reach CYL2. I do, however, think Lyn is next in line when it does happen, and Amazon sounds like a good idea to me. In the likely event that it's a steampunk skin, I'm guessing Dorcas 5 star, Frederick 4 star again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike was the first, then next year we get the winner of CYL2 and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd tick off a LOT of fans, fans of Lyn, Lucina, Roy, Ephraim, Camilla, etc. Not that Heroes has ever cared about the feelings of fans, but that seems like too big of a step, not to mention a bad business move. Plus, according to IS's CYL standards, Lyn was the overall CYL 1 winner. It doesn't matter if we the fans combined PoR and RD Ike votes, IS didn't. Even after they did start combining votes in CYL 3, they didn't go back to 1 and 2 and combine any votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better than the fairy trash, it's better than the typically garish color clash of Muspell, and it's better than the strange clash of bulky plates and short skirts found on many Nifl outfits.

Rinco Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 @Fire Emblem Fan oh, I always assumed Ike had won the first CYL. I wasn't aware of the voting when I started playing, so I never really knew the overall scores. Ike being given for "free" and having the first Resplendant Brave alt made me even more certain he had won it lol. Good to know and that kinda debunks my "theory" then.

I'd disagree, personally. The fairy outfits are definitely not a favorite, but I like the Muspell and Nifl outfits more than anything I've seen from Amazon Country so far. 1 hour ago, Rinco said: @Fire Emblem Fan oh, I always assumed Ike had won the first CYL.

Yeah, in Choose Your Legends 1 and 2, PoR and RD Ike had their votes counted separately. So did Shadow Dragon and New Mystery Marth, and every other character that was in Tellius and Marth-land games. People noticed in CYL 1, but it didn't matter so much then, because combining the votes wouldn't have changed the outcome. Lyn, Ike, Lucina, and Roy still would have been the winners. In CYL 2, though, people REALLY noticed, because if they had combined votes for the two versions of Marth, then Marth would have actually been one of the winners. So, when CYL 3 came along, IS started combining the votes. 38 minutes ago, Hilda said: How about we finally get a Dagger or Stave resplendant unit? Like Elise or Saizo or Felicia.

Mindblowing i know?!? Nah, Dagger is a bit too ambitious. Forget about new skins for old ones, IS can't even be bothered to add any new dagger units these days. I know I keep saying this, but Memelinus is still the latest dagger unit and that was seven months ago. 39 minutes ago, Fabulously Olivier said: Hel. Saizo. Make. It. Happen.

Rinco Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 @Fire Emblem Fan I remember the whole Marth thing. At that point I was more active on the community (at least by lurking on the forums). I started to play on day 1, but I only got around to search more about the game and this stuff some months after (still before the CYL 1 banner). So I missed a lot of those early game discussions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda see Brave Lyn with Jötunheimr attire. Looking at Nótt's outfit, the design kinda looks like what Lyn wears, so I wouldn't complain about that choice. 6 hours ago, Fabulously Olivier said: I don't think you'll be getting another Brave Resplendent until the next anniversary.

I can see they doing it with only the 2 winners... like, one for the Anniversary, and the other during the six-months event (august). I kinda expect someone like Brave Hector for next anniversary. 2 hours ago, Fabulously Olivier said: Hel. Saizo. Make. It. Happen. I would love that. Saizo wearing a Líf style mask.

Getting any 4-star staff Resplendent is pretty unlikely. Staff units without exclusive weapons are nearly interchangeable and basically have no need for stats to function, which means the Resplendent would have to be carried entirely by the character's popularity. Elise is the most likely staff unit to get a Resplendent release with the only thing really counting against her is the possibility that she could be made too good with the extra stats (though that certainly didn't stop Reinhardt or Brave Ike from getting a Resplendent outfit). As it is, she's currently already ahead of Veronica in combat performance by +1 Atk and +3 Spd with their refined weapons. Among daggers, I can see Jaffar getting a Resplendent outfit both because he is literally the only 5-star candidate for one and because Nino recently got one. Among 4-star daggers, I'm willing to bet on Kagero being the first to get one. Not only does she have an actually usable stat spread that can make use of the extra stats (being +1/+1 relative to Sothe after Resplendent bonuses), but it would take special effort to fail at making her art marketable. Also, a fully invested Resplendent Kagero (minus Summoner Support) hits 68 visible Atk, which is hilariously enough to activate her weapon's effect against a fully invested Fallen Edelgard (who has 67 visible Atk transformed).

I got SUPER lucky here, but I basically used Surtr to chip damage all the Edelgards until I could finish them off without triggering their regeneration. He was able to tank two hits from one of them and not even die. 8 minutes ago, Fire Emblem Fan said: I've already encountered Fallen Edelgard almost every dang match in Arena.

People can still use her in whatever modes they want under their control, but she's just really unfun to fight against, and we don't have enough beast counters. And that 40% first damage reduction. What kind of asshole puts 4 fallen Edelgards as an arena defense team anyway? Edited June 24, 2021 by Sunwoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenomata Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 The fact that Gamepress decided this article was even necessary to make spells how much nobody likes Hegemon. Personally, though I've not had to deal with 4 Hegemons, I've had to slot in Kinshi Hinoka to my Arena team because she's literally the only unit I own (sans Faye and post coma barracks anyway) that has a Firesweep Bow to enable double Poison Strike. I'm now also looking at a FS Bow Cav since I actually have a Saul to feed to one (Leonie is looking pretty good right now...) But man... honestly, all Fallen units have always been a pain in the ass to deal with for their release times... if there were a way to label them internally to prevent them from being put on Arena Defense or AR-D teams, maybe it'd be a little less painful to actually play in Arena these days.

Othin Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I haven't had to deal with 4x Edelgard yet, but I did face 2x in AR today. Brought in my Dedue+Henriette+Flayn Save team for the first time, and man, I can't believe I took this long. Henriette shrugged off Lif and Bramimond and annihilated them, while Dedue muscled his way through the Edelgards. Wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just how much people aren't aware of the game's easily accessible cheese tactics. Literally all you really need to know is Pulse Smoke on an enemy-phase unit shuts down her Special entirely if you have it. Effective damage plus a guaranteed follow-up plus high enough attack is the easiest way to one-round kill her on enemy phase. Effective damage plus Sweep is the easiest way to kill her on player phase. Null Follow-Up plus Sweep also works. Fatal Smoke can get rid of her pesky healing if you have it and can't one-round her. Boey. Also, they mention Edelgard running Ruptured Sky for scoring. Despite the fact that there is, in fact, no incentive at all to optimize defense scoring. Despite the fact that beasts can't learn Ruptured Sky in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
