I haven't built a TT unit to +10, but was planning for Winter Jaffar...man that is going to be expensive. On Altena my prediction is if she has an awesome/amazing stat line she won't demote, if she has a mediocre or poor stat line she will. I hope they are generous enough to give her a great stat line (that is different from other lance fliers), she is still expensive to build, the skills she comes with are not good at all. They are neutral, they have no asset/flaw. So they can't benefit from being +spd, +atk or +whatever. That is a huge advantage as very few units prefer being neutral. yeah. you can go forever without getting a +atk/+spd nature. if they are neutral they get bonus stats. my ares is being built into a neutral nature because he's better with it than being +atk. (because being netural also increases his speed). again it's not as horribly terrible as some people are making it sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DraceEmpressa Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Spoiler Why give Travant Silver Lance+, when here we have Lucina, Chrom, Marth and Alm all running around with Falchion. "in universe he already give Gungnir to Arion" So why didn't we have him instead? Also, why Silver Lance+ when there are tons of better lances with actual effects?

I'm not sure who else they'd want to give an FE4 Gen 2 GHB spot to in his place, though. Manfroy? He's certainly significant, but... really not popular.

She’s not that great in FE4, so maybe her fans like her as a character and not for being an overpowered unit. Don't get me wrong, she's still my #1 priority for this banner. I was just hoping Heroes was her chance to shine instead of being just decent. Still, as said, at least she's in. Spoiler Plus her stats are looking to be pretty solid for her niche. Basically, she got Haared, which there are much worse fates than. 25 minutes ago, DLNarshen said: (Travant skills) Reveal hidden contents From the same company bringing us Brash Assault in 2020...

Spoiler *sigh* I mean, as others have said he does technically wield a silver lance in his appearance, but still, come on. At least maybe that's a sign we'll either get his younger self or Arione in the nearish future? I don't know. It's just ugh. Also, not huge on his art style, which appears to be the same as Dorcas and Arden. It's well-done, but just not my preference. At least his stats are solid, and he'll be easy to build. As for the rest, Shannan looks fun as heck. He's basically Eyvel with a better offensive spread and a weapon to really make him shine. Altena's stats look solid, but not astounding, so hopefully she'll demote and be pretty good when built. Ced and Larcei are pretty much as expected. For me, Altena > Shannan > Ced > Larcei. Prioritizing blue and red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Stats: I like Travant's art, personally. Travant and Altena have near-identical stats. I'd say that's more evidence for Altena demoting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if trying to +10 a unit usually one can pull the best nature, or at the very least a preferred one. Don't get extra stats neutral vs asset/flaw. Both will give you 5 stats, asset flaw can even give you 6 if you have a superflaw. For Ares depends on build, but +atk is best for his typical vantage one shot build. If one really wants to build his speed one can go +speed too. Spoiler Travant is the most screwed unit in the history of Feh, move over Canas. Travant, King of Thracia, wielder of Gungnir. I could see if Arion was on the banner with Gungnir, and I get about when you finally face an old and suicidal Travant he has already given it away. Seems they just didn't want to give away Gungnir, cause if it was a decent PRF with him having a near identical statline to Altena people would be discouraged from pulling for her. Still, shame IS, SHAME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltosian Kadath Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 2 hours ago, Sunwoo said: Deirdre has never used the Naga tome in FE4 and they still gave her Naga here anyway. Heroes says "fuck you" to lore whenever they want to. Basically, the developers are just being shitty and not giving us nice things. It would have been fun to see her join with her most memorable weapon, the Silence staff as her attack (those affected can't use assist skills, and tome users in radius can't counter seems about right). This Banner is looking utterly amazing, but as a massive Travant fan I am torn between joy that he is finally in the game and a massive fucking mountain of salt over how they utterly screwed him out of his most memorable and signature weapon, the Gungnir. Its almost as irritating as the time they randomly added a second Olwen, and then gave her a random made-up green tome (that should have been a blue tome by FEH's own tome conversion logic) instead of the signature sword her brother Reinhardt gives her on the battlefield of the River Thracia.

Kaden Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Those are some interesting stats... Spoiler Altena's like a +Def, -Spd version of her father and more or less has the same stats as Travant. That also makes them like gen 4, lance flier versions of Cherche, Haar, and Gerome. I never played Genealogy, but isn't Altena supposed to be fast? Her base speed looks decent from checking. This is like Florina and kind of Cherche all over again where in their home games, they're fast or decent fast, but ended up being slow in Heroes. I had this feeling that she'd be like Minerva with at least decent speed. So much for an Astra blessed Travant knowing he doesn't have Gungnir. I checked and he wields a Silver Lance and has Vantage as boss for the second part of Genealogy, so, it's appropriate, but still. It's... eh? They could have given him Vanguard, introduced Guard Lance, or something even if it's not proper. I guess the bright side is like Altena, you can give him Brave Lance+ and have him be a slow Brave unit. Cormag is on the cusp of having decent speed that maybe it's not worth it and he comes with a Slaying Lance. Regardless, Altena and Travant are our first slow, physically bulky lance fliers for what that's worth. Florina's no longer the slowest lance flier now! Yay! And Valter's no longer the lance flier with the lowest resistance as he beats Travant by one point. They have much higher defense than Subaki who surprisingly has been the sole lance flier with the highest defense since launch. Cormag and Valter were introduced with one point less than him and Cormag's the most recent lance flier before Altena and Travant who have four points and five points more defense than Subaki, respectively. Altena is the new highest attack lance flier with her 37 base neutral attack while Travants share the second-highest attack with Cormag with his 36 base neutral attack. Lastly, Altena and Travant are the first lance fliers to break +43 HP which apparently Florina had the highest HP since launch at 42 base neutral HP and has tied with Cormag, spring Marisa, and Valter.

Ice Dragon Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) I'm laughing at the fact that Altenna and Trabant have almost identical stats. I'm also laughing at the fact that the English localization team stole one of Altenna's n's and gave it to Shanan, which I just noticed. 3 hours ago, daisy jane said: if they are neutral they get bonus stats. my ares is being built into a neutral nature because he's better with it than being +atk. (because being netural also increases his speed). Bonus stats are there to make up for the fact that they don't get their Flaw neutralized. In general, the bonus stats are worse than having an actual Asset due to the fact that 1 point is always in HP (due to it being the highest level 1 stat on every unit so far) and most units would rather have 3 points in one stat than 1 point in two stats. For example, on Ares, +3 Atk is far more valuable than +1 HP, +1 Atk, and +1 Spd. Edited January 8, 2020 by Ice Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humanoid Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Fairly pleased to see Altena breaking the mould. Yesterday I might have thought that's she'd be the most boring unit on the banner, but it turns out she's the only one who's not a complete cookie-cutter unit in terms of stats. Doesn't mean I want her, of course, but if she happens to turn up as a pity-breaker she at least has a proper niche unlike seemingly 90% of lance fliers in the game. That said, my plan is still the (presumably most common) strategy to only pull red on tickets because the maths are inarguable. Not going to be fussed with most pitybreakers since at this point I'm just interested in quantity over quality - I suspect the Gen 4 units that I truly want to build don't exist yet. None other than legendary heroes, that is. As for Travant, I'd rather any fix not involve simply giving him a Prf. Fix Silver weapons instead for god's sake. Even if it's just pumping up their Mt, that's a totally fine band-aid. Edited January 8, 2020 by Humanoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroes Deirdre is post-brainwash, at which point she's settled down with Arvis and should have access to Naga. Whether or not she had access to Naga while she was playable doesn't matter because this Deirdre comes from a point in time after she stopped being playable. 6 minutes ago, Baldrick said: Why are you telling me this?

It's not an ideal situation, but it is what it is and it's actually grounded in lore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
