They would further break my heart by having him reference his teacher, Duessel in his castle quotes. oh...oh I'm starting to think we won't see Duessel in this game. They wouldn't avoid putting Sean Connery in...would they? Ephraim will come with Garm and Duessel will come later with a beatstick that deals effective damage to all heroes named "Ephraim". @Lord-Zero Edited January 24, 2018 by Ice Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 2 minutes ago, Water Mage said: Thinking about it, I wonder if they will do an all-male banner, with a “Brave” Ephraim wielding Garm. Perhaps they will do two Sacred Stones TT, like with Echoes. I don't think they'll do all-male anytime soon, but axe cav Ephraim with Garm would sure be cool. We do still need more green cavs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's still an excellent support unit with good mixed bulk to stand against two or three rounds of combat but with the amounts of high damage characters like Ayra/Mia/Siegbert/etc. who can also buff stats as they're not that dependent on seals she needs a little buff. Then she should've just gotten weapon refines like Ephraim did. Why not that? Also, I just realized I didn't actually send that Eirika home, I used her for Hone Spd fodder. But I still got rid of her, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 3 minutes ago, NoirCore said: @AnacybeleAgain, I find that an irrelevant technicality. It's more worthy to exist in the game because it actually happened? How is this still not counting as you asking for another Ike? In fact, if it weren't for this banner, I'd say RD Ike only deserved to be a TT reward in the same vein as Masked Marth. Mage Eirika gives RD Ike a chance at a banner with his own stats and skills. Well, I don't know what else to tell you then, other than that I felt RD Ike already had a chance since Ike is super popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I just realized that “anamnesis” means “remembrance”. This banner’s name is “Sacred Memories”...hmmm, maybe this is a post-game Eirika that learned Dark Magic in honor of Lyon’s memory? I mean, Lyon was the one who fucked up in first place and it’s kinda his fault that a lot innocent people died, but I can see Eirika doing that.

We do still need more green cavs. I definitely agree on needing more green cavs. Just realized while browsing through my Heroes how many lance and sword cavs outnumber them. I'd honestly love a male only banner to switch things up, maybe the Valentines seasonal banner or a groom one in June. Probably never going to happen but it would be fun.

TheWill Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 26 minutes ago, Anacybele said: So you'd rather have more Eirikas than let other characters from SS get in the game? Wow. That's kind of selfish, you know. I'm not trying to offend you, but even I'm not asking for more Ikes or Fredericks (except in cases like CYL and seasonal, and even then, Frederick already got a seasonal, so I'm not going to ask for another one of those for him), because I know there are other characters from their games who have yet to even be in Heroes in any form. Lmao, I love Eirika and completely agree with you. What IS done was complete bullshit and if Eirika misses getting a Brave because people stopped voting for her due to having a second iteration (which is incredibly likely as that's what I am now doing), it's beyond stupid. There are so many characters that deserve to be in the game from Sacred Stones. I'm glad for Eirika fans who are happy, but if this happened for characters they didn't like (ie. a second Chrom to make up for his mediocre Heroes iteration), they'd either be upset, annoyed or not care. If a second Chrom takes someone like Sumia or Vaike's position in a future Shepherd banner, I'd be beyond pissed. The worst part is, this precedent it sets is just horrible. The only characters that should get second random iterations are the ones that got shafted (Caeda, Lucius, Lachesis). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackc2 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Mhyyr is the only unit I am definitely interested in, Dragon who is also a filer and green? Yes please. L'aracheal is meh just cause Reinhardt exists therefore any other Blue-tome-cav is meh Erika I am torn on, I hate what she represents (The start of using random alternate versions) and I am meh on horses but she is a red mage which i need more of.

redlight Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I mean it could've been worse. There are people out there that want Gheb and it's Souta Ippei who'll most likely design him (he's a very good artist but seems to be the go to guy for meme characters). I'm not that stoked, but we avoided the worst case scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duessel, Tauroneo, Athos, Papa Hector banner when? Anyway, on topic, as great as the art is--especially love Myrrh and L'Arachel; Eirika is pretty similar to her initial (not that that art's bad, just not really standout)--and while all three seem like they'll be good units, I'm going to hold off aside from my free pull and maybe filling out the rest of the summon if the orbs seem promising and I'm feeling enthusiastic. I'd really be happy to get any of them, but I Myrrh is the only one I'd consider actively pulling for. She's just so cute. Lastly, here's to hoping Marisa's art is as fantastic and that she's at least as good as Josh was. Excited for her to be the TT reward :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverly Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Wow, all the characters I wanted (Marisa, L’arachel, and Myrrh) got in, with Myrrh looks fun to use, and finally we have our Hone Dragons. L’arachel looks real good, but her skills are disappointing. Eirika came out of nowhere, but I’m not disappointed with her appearance. Eirika is one of my favorite females in the series and I’m just glad there’s a red tome mage worth using. Sorry Leo, you’re now guaranteed to be on the bench indefinitely. Initially I was confused and horrified that Marisa was nowhere to be seen, but it looks like she’s a TT reward. Fine by me. Definitely going to pull here. I’m quite happy with what we got.

Interesting. Maybe it’s a reference to Sacred Stones having a lot of flashbacks involving Lyon. Joking aside, I’m almost sure that Mage Eirika is going to be the boss of the TT considering the japanese name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
