I don't remember at all. I think either or could get a legendary before the other. If I've said otherwise, I've forgotten entirely and don't know why I would have said it. Otherwise, fair enough.

NSSKG151 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I don't really see a problem with Sothe getting a legendary alt before Micaiah. Julia got one before either Leif and Seliph plus Ryoma and Azura got legendary status before Corrin (who doesn't have a legendary alt at all yet). Of course, I never played the Tellius games so I don't know who is considered 'significant' outside of Ike and Micaiah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His relevance is similar to Lyn's and his popularity is average-ish, so I can't see him getting a legendary before Micaiah and Elincia.

Othin Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 9 minutes ago, MirandaFriege said: A character must be popular to have a Legendary alt? Precedent suggests yes. Looking at how characters with legendary alts scored on CYL4: 1. Edelgard (74,617) 4. Marth (44,107) 8. Eirika (26,040) 10. Chrom (15,595) 11. Seliph (15,593) 23. Robin F (7,532) 28. Azura (6,264) 57. Tiki Y (3,031) 90. Leif (1,828) 92. Ryoma (1,779) 138. Julia (1,109) The others being Ike, Lyn, Roy, Lucina, Hector, Celica, Ephraim, Alm, and Eliwood, all of whom were not eligible for CYL4 because they already won a past CYL.

Who said they "must" be popular to get a legendary alt? I certainly didn't. But it's only natural that IS would want to prioritize more popular characters for legendary alts, and the characters who would be considered more eligible for legendaries - the protagonists and important characters - are naturally more popular than other randos.

daisy jane Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Well. I was pretty much on point - except for Narcian. he's going to be in October. with Palla. (damnit). Bruno is with Faye. so that pretty much makes predicting a tick easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(damnit). Yeah, mildly unfortunate for people wanting the trio (like myself), but it's even worse news for people who want Young Marth, because his appearance rate as a 4* focus is either halved from having to share, or he's pushed back to next year. Odd decision as they could have easily had one 4* focus in each banner instead. I'll probably do a token full round on this once I get 15 orbs.

daisy jane Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 i have no idea what they are going to do with that glut of demotes coming up(esp. with a huge chunk of them being blue). I really wanted Merges on my Palla and Est would have been a consolation because she's actually the only Whitewing i don't have - so i mean. i guess i'm gonna try for her next year along with Fir i suppose). Narcian is okay. - but i mean he's really more of a "okay i have him. or okay i have his lance." I know everyone is going gaga over Flowing Lance but I think Gilfork is good too (and you don't have to worry about the solo conditions all the time) Alfonse had Nino to deal with (but nino wasn't that bad (and she again had a fighter skill, and a rare arena rally). so good consolation prize. Idunn had Anna (again prety decent bow, and good arena food). Palla gets to share with.... Lance Exp. 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Assuming my orbs aren't eaten by some unexpected big event (unlikely since the half-year anniversary was probably the last event until Christmas), I'll probably try for merges up until the point I get one 5-star Narcian or two Trios, then bail on blue. Will also try for up to two copies of Duo Micaiah if she's there of course. (I tend to just go for +1 or +2 on seasonals that I want, depending on whether the second merge gives useful offensive stats) EDIT: Upcoming candidates (source) Edited August 24, 2020 by Humanoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Wait, no demotes? That's so weird after last time. 2 hours ago, Humanoid said: Yeah, mildly unfortunate for people wanting the trio (like myself), but it's even worse news for people who want Young Marth, because his appearance rate as a 4* focus is either halved from having to share, or he's pushed back to next year.

What I've been expecting is for them to end up featuring two demotes per banner but increasing the 4* focus rate to 6%, to match the 5* focus rate. So maybe their plan is to start that pattern with the next one, with a lineup of like Marth/Oboro/Narcian/Palla/Merric/Nailah/Micaiah. Maybe rounding it out with Genny or Fjorm?

jameslove001 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I really wanted to be excited for this banner. But outside of Spring Idunn I just don't feel like there is a lot worth spending for. Anyone else feeling that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're willing to start putting multiple demotes on one banner, December seems most likely. If not, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diovani Bressan Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I wonder if having 2 4* focus is a possibility. I don't see anything wrong with that, but I was quite surprised we didn't have Narcian this month. It makes the decision of skipping NY Anna last time kinda weird. If they go with "only one 4* focus per banner", Rafiel will be in February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they'd have to have up to a dozen of these re-runs a year just to keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Shogi Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Here's to hoping Cadea shares red with Marth and not Oboro on the next banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercakete Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Looks like I actually care about only half the characters on this (Double Special) and am ok with skipping. Wanted to free pull red, but no red nodes. So, pulled blue to see if I'd get Rudolf. Got feathers. That's fine; more orbs for a banner I actually want to pull on. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SockPuppet Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Yikes, I’m shocked that there was no 4* either. I hope they are willing to put multiple on a banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marth blocked me from getting anymore than 1 caeda. and truthfully i don't need anymore. Oboro has a good inheritable sword (and more importantly a rare arena rally+) so truthfully i would really want Caeda to share with Oboro. (even if i didn't have Marth at +10 i wouldn't want those two to share). (Same as i woudn't want Narcian/Est to share this time etiher). people who got boned one way or the other on the debut shouldn't have to dodge that minefield again on a double special hero banner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I most likely won't be using Marth that much but his kit be more useful(to me at least) than that of Oboro's if I did get him. If I had a choice, I'd rather it be Caeda and Joshua but I doubt that's happening. Edited August 25, 2020 by Flying Shogi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diovani Bressan Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 From October's Double Special, I am kinda interested on Green. Bride Nailah and Young Merric? That's quite nice. But maye I skip it, since the October legendary banner looks pretty good, with Chrom, Hel and Edelgard. Maybe Dimitri will appear there... who knows!

I am getting a bit interested in pulling for little Marth however Edelgard, Hel, Chrom (all need merges) and potentially Dimitri also have me excited. I just want the September mythic to be Astra Res and a good support unit. I can't keep using Altina and Naga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want the September mythic to be Astra Res and a good support unit. I can't keep using Altina and Naga. Yeah. October's banner looks pretty nice. If the Legendary is blue (which I expect to be), the 3rd slot for blue can be also pretty good being Lilith, Anna or maybe Kris. It depends if they get a "Heroes with" until there. September's banner also looks nice, but I may skip that unless the Mythic is Astra and a good one. I am ok in using Altina, since she is very useful and can bait Thrasir without problems (just need to avoid getting debuffed)... but Naga has her limitations. Most the time, she is just used for Smite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 We should be getting the legendary hero trailer tomorrow! It wouldn't be Saturday because it'd be Sunday in Japan at that time and the banner itself comes Monday, so it realistically wouldn't be Sunday either. I keep crossing my fingers for Elincia.
