Actually...i think I had this exact same issue when I was working on Naesala and NFU was still recent. Well, bummer. Guess it's Fury/Desperation/Blade-tome after all.

If she had distant counter, it would work. Anyways Ashnard would love her B skill. Technically it could also be inherited with sturdy impact. For the record, Ingrid's class is currently the third most common at 27 units, after sword infantry (63) and axe infantry (28). It's followed by lance cavalry (25), colorless bow infantry and red tome infantry (24), colorless dagger infantry (22), blue tome infantry (21), and green tome infantry (20).

Nym Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I don't even understand why Lorenz isn't on a horse, I would have consider him my next grail project if he had a horse. But I don't need another red tome infantry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only fraction of fliers and armors, a little more cavalry, and then the rest are infantry. 30 minutes ago, Nym said: I don't even understand why Lorenz isn't on a horse, I would have consider him my next grail project if he had a horse.

I mean...they made Sylvain a cavalry mage (which is something I was so hoping they would do!) and nothing has stopped them from having more than one cavalry mage in a set release. Greil's Devoted had Titania for the TT and Mist for the banner. Owen and Reinhardt premiered together at launch, and I'm sure there's other examples.

There's been a fair number of infantry-exclusive skills showing up over time, although most of them are very rare and/or pretty narrow. I think they're well ahead of cavalry in that regard by now, and pretty close to armors. Off the top of my head: Infantry: Inf Pulse, Time's Pulse, Inf Breath/Hexblade, NFU, NCD, Repel, Close Call, Inf Flash/Rush, Sorcery Blade Armors: Wary/Bold/Vengeful/Special/Daring Fighter, Hone/Fortify/Goad/Ward Armor, Armored March/Stride Calvary: Hone/Fortify/Goad/Ward Cavalry Fliers: Hone/Fortify/Goad/Ward Fliers, Acrobatics, Flier Formation, Guidance, Flier Guidance, Air/Ground Orders, Pegasus Flight, [whatever Ingrid's B skill is] That's 11 infantry/armor, 4 cavalry, and 12 flier, although I could be forgetting something. Regarding Greil's Devoted, Soren was a third mage cavalry there. Edited July 7, 2020 by Othin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that they have access to all the broken skills in the game like luls, nul skills, Close Call/repel, Special Spiral, infantry pulse and the list goes on. I think the time to bring an inheritable 12 Mt Poison dagger or tome is near. It doesn't directly combat the problem but it could potentially force some players to have more non infantry options ready. However this still doesn't mean that other movement types will be better. Cavs still have low BST despite having access luls. Fliers don't have any of those skills despite having more managable stats and bows are everywhere meaning that a tanky/EP flier will have to run Iote's shield and other than QR there are no B slot options. Armors have extremely bad movement, have pretty crippling effectiveness that appears in many weapons and they don't allow creativity, unless your name is Edelgard then you have limited or tame PP compared to other movement types. However, I think IS knows this and perhaps that's why the recent Legendaries are not exactly broken, but break the mold of their Classes, Edelgard being a PP Armor and Seliph being an enemy phase Horse.

Anacybele Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Man, these last several hours until the banner drops can't go by fast enough! Sylvain is just so hot and cool (heh) here and this version of him just makes me love him more than I already did. 🥰 And then there're the others on this banner I want to get my hands on too! Of course, I gotta get some sleep before I hop in there since, well, reset is 3AM in my timezone. But yeah.

I don't even think they're broken. They needed some powerful infantry-exclusive skills to not just be worse versions of other movement types, and they got that, along with a more suitable stat level. Things are looking pretty good in my book, although I do think it'd be also nice for cavalry to get a few of their own unique skills.

This, and I'd like cavalry to not be a burden in modes like arena and arena assault. The thing I hate most about these is BST factoring into your score. Not only does it hurt players when their bonus units are lower BST and hurt even some units who are really good in general, it's made all the top scoring players spam armors and as a result, there's a lack of team variety in higher tiers/scoring. That is so boring. On top of that, cavalry have the shortest end of the stick here because infantry and fliers can at least use the duel infantry and duel flying skills to boost their scoring. Cavalry don't even have an equivalent to that! Where's the love for cavalry? I'm someone that likes using horse teams and I'd like to NOT be punished for it, thanks. Just give cavalry a way to boost their scoring potential, please! And make the duel skills a little more accessible in general. I would say to remove the BST factor entirely, but that would render the duel skills completely pointless.

I was just using the same wording as the post I was quoting, but I guess it wasn't clear since I didn't include that part in the quote itself. Oops. Yeah, I don't think they're broken, either. Infantry are finally in a good place where they can actually compete with other movement types without being completely overshadowed or completely overshadowing others.

I'm not sure why they haven't released cavalry versions yet, that's really odd. We're also still missing C Duel Flying for some reason. In addition, R Duel Infantry, B Duel Infantry, and G Duel Flying are all currently seasonal-only. At least you can use cavalry freely in later rounds of AA, though.

mcsilas Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) At the very least, melee cavalry have more of a place nowadays with Resonant Battles, especially with Lunge (since ranged units have to deal with the Obstruct effect from guardians). Well, it depends on the trench placement in the maps but so far my more successful runs involve the 3 move units.

Mercakete Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I really liked the story to this one! Everyone was so in-character, and I love that they addressed the lack of Felix. I wonder if this means we'll be getting him, soon. The reference to Dimitri was great, too. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregster101 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 This was my haul from the banner. I hadn't done the Paralogue maps yet, so my orb count went from 2,555 orbs to 2,505 orbs. Overall, I'm think I'm satisfied from this banner. Back to hoarding for Jill and Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) I really just have 5 star Sylvain and duo Byleth to show for like 500 orbs... I noticed I still had a few orbs left later though, actually. I got another 5 star Sylvain. XD He's +4 now! I don't have enough feathers to make him +10 through just 4 star copies though, so I hope to get more 5 star ones at some point. But as I said in the pull thread, I need a break. And I spent enough money for the time being. Sylvain's worth every penny in my eyes, but still. I'm sad I still lack Ingrid and Dorothea though...

Ice Dragon Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) I'm pretty sure this banner doesn't understand what a Focus is. 800 orbs in (which is what I usually budget these days for a Special Heroes banner) and I've so far gotten Awakening Anna Brave Veronica Adrift female Corrin 4-star Sylvain Siegbert 5-star Sylvain after I stopped pulling green Lilith Ingrid Cuan Lethe Caineghis Another Lethe Brave Alm What the fuck, game.

Landmaster Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Got Ingrid after getting Ylgr and Sumia, two units I never wanted to see in my life but that's 12K feathers so I can't complain~ Didn't go under 500 Orbs so I'm good for CYL now~ Sylvain may have to wait until another time~ 2 hours ago, Anacybele said: Wow, it seems a lot of us are having this issue.
