I suppose that's good, though I wonder if there's any bonus for using them.  My Libra is all built up and ready to go.

I wouldn't put it past them to give you a bonus for using them, but there was no mention of that in the Feh Channel. You'd think they'd advertise the bonus if there were one to get people to pull a bit more from the banner.

Maybe, though the banner's only been out for a couple days, so there's plenty of time left if it is the case.

It specifically says that you don't need them

There wasn’t any mention of getting any bonuses for actually having the characters in the notification board post for this mode either. The most it said about it was “Forging Bonds can be played even without having the event characters as allies.”

Also, I don’t know if FEH Channel mentioned it but the support conversations from this mode can be viewed via Event Recap.

With the addition of Libra, I finally got my Zodiac Team.

5fjbe4B.png?1

I have Ares, Leo, Libra, and Cancer.

Nice team!

Well since Reinhardt isn't actually called cancer, maybe do double Leo with Leon?

Or Azura since JP name is Aqua and it's close enough to Aquarius.

If they ever have a FE character named Virginia she could probably be Virgo.

What about a different kind of horoscope theme? Ryoma as Cancer (eh Lobster is close enough to a Crab), a bow knight as Sagittarius (Lyn?), Kaze/Saizo as Gemini because twins, Azura as Aquarius because waterbender, Cain as Taurus because he is the Bull.

So ... my pulls on the summer banners have been absolutely ridiculous.

Their natures have been too. Just ... not in a good way. Apparently, all the 3-star and 4-star units I already have built up keep on stealing the nature luck.

@Junkhead Sorry for the late reply. Absolutely marvelous. Henry is a beast. You also had a outro for your video thanking the viewers which is a great plus. The only I thing I guess I had to nitpick was no animations (except the end). Oh, and post GHB clears in their respective topics. Otherwise, very cool battle

I suspect it will be similar to TT where using the unit(s) will give you a score bonus, but you can still get all the rewards without them.

More accurately, like TT but the bonus scores is from accessories , not unit,  and it has been stated that if you bring in a team with all units equipping the bonus accessories, the bonus stacks. 

 

that leaves me with another question, if the enemy level scales with your team' s level, does it take unit merges into consideration?

What a tease. I really want a Libra. 

This is killing me. :awesome:

To me it was obvious I didn'tinclude them because it would take a lot longer, especially considering he just sat there for all those turns. I forgot about the GHB topics, but then Clarisse's topic is probably dead by now...

I appreciate you came back to it, anyway. Thanks.

Maybe, though I think the Reinhardt has earned his moniker.

Libra has a decent chance of getting demoted to 4*, so hopefully, he does.

It very basic cartoony characters a lack of nipples doesn't really draw much attention, but in more anatomically realistic styles, like most of the ones we have in Heroes, not having them just looks weird.

"Realistic" is not quite realism here. It's realistic idealism. And the ideal in question excludes body hair on males owing to it being an "imperfection". Nipples are presumably also an imperfection, since for males they just happen to be there, useless owing to male mammary glands being non-functional and thus breastfeeding their lone biological purpose, impossible. They are a bizarre blight upon the perfect male form; originating as it turns out, I believe I heard, in developing in the womb prior to sexual differentiation.

Cartoons are not concerned with heroic, beautiful ideal forms, permitting these "ugly" imperfections of the human being to exist there. In fact, some children's cartoons indulge in lowbrow, crude, non-sexual humor, which bodily anomalies and oddities work well with. Allowing for such imperfections also allows cartoons to spread positive messages such as "everyone is beautiful in their own way" and "being there is nothing wrong with being different", which is good for the psychological development of children according to modern society.

I myself have through the years been conditioned to accept the normative ideals, rooted perhaps in Greco-Roman-Indian Antiquity, and later adopted and modified by modern Japanese entertainment. Not always do I find beauty according to them, but they nonetheless have a certain hold over my aesthetic judgements.

Virgo could be just about any maiden FE has, particularly ones who canonically or can possibly die a virgin. Roy as the "Young Lion" (the title going by his puny FE6 self makes no sense) as Leo would make sense.

I'm not sure saying Roy dying a virgin is even implied, with the amount of potential female S supports he has, including his own tutor.

A think a lack of nipples is more jarring.  Looking at pictures of Greek statues, you can see some without nipples, but that might be more due to erosion, since they often lack noses and more primary sex characteristics, which was definitely not an artistic choice.  I think the lack of body hair was a cultural thing, since the Romans especially were fond of shaving everything.

Those two statements were not related, was the period invisible to you? Roy could stand in as a Leo is what I meant with him, I meant nothing about his virginity. Although his FE6 self should keep it (because he looks like a minor), his Melee self should prepare to lose it, and his Smash 4 self has already thrown it away and ain't shedding a tear about it. IS did quite strategically chose all of Roy's ladies, one for every country (I'm counting Guinevere, and Larum for the Western Isles) and each in a high political position, a diverse palette for the perfect son of Elibe.

FE6 Remake really needs to give non-Roy characters paired endings, ideally one that reunites Igrene and her dear Astolfo.

If the two were unrelated, a new paragraph would have been justified to avoid confusion.  A period does not imply an unrelated follow-up sentence.

I think @Rex Glacies is a better expert of grammar national socialism than I am, though.

About half an hour later, though:

oh yeah I'm definitely not stopping here. Even if he's available at *4 at some point, it's not necessarily that much of a bigger chance of getting him (let alone multiple times). At least in a focus he's the only *5 in his colour.

Congrats, what nature did you get?  Are there other units you wanted or you want more Libras?

I wanted to get "Juicy" for Oliver, but that was kind of a whimsical choice and pretty much duped it once Libra came in. Not to mention I wasted abot 100 orbs and got pity broken by Sword Reinhardt...there's still a 3.25% I built up, so there's that.

Libra is going to be my 1rst or 2nd +10, whomever reaches first between him and Henry. I'd also like to get him Wrath, at some point.

oh yeah he's +Res/-Def.

 

Darting Blow also isn't a bad choice. I'm actually really considering it right now, considering his neutral Spd is average and I'm lacking Fury fodder.

Whist I am no true expert, Interdimensional Observer originally responded to a paragraph about other potential zodiac characters, and was adding to the possibilities. He made no statement about Roy being Virgo/a virgin; rather he mentioned possibilities for Virgo, and how Roy could represent Leo. Ergo, the topic of the paragraph was "FE characters as horoscopes" not "FE characters who can be Virgo." The period is justified; no paragraph break is needed.

Adding to the conversation, Corrin could be Aquarius and/or Pisces, as they are a water dragon. Likewise, Nowi or older Tiki could be Pisces, since their dragon form is based on a seahorse. Certain Summer units like Corrin or Takumi could be as well.

I think Darting Blow is really underrated.  It's also very common, since you can get it from Florina, Rebecca, and Tharja.

Responding to something that was originally two paragraphs with one uninterrupted paragraph can lead to confusion.  The first sentence is asking for examples, and Roy is offered as an example without preamble.

I do think it could be underrated, if only because of the raw +6 Spd as well as it's massive accessibility. Funny enough, I built a *4+10 Florina and my Rebecca is getting there... hadn't had a Tharja in months. :awesome:
