Who are your 20 most wanted characters for 2022?

[Fire Emblem Fan]

A sequel to this thread: https://forums.serenesforest.net/index.php?/topic/93501-who-are-your-top-20-most-wanted-for-2021/

The question is simple! What 20 new heroes do you want to see this year in 2022?

This is my list:

1. Brom
2. Isadora
3. Elffin
4. Gregor
5. Linoan
6. Nyna
7. Kent
8. Sain
9. Edain
10. Elice
11. Douglas
12. Muarim
13. Arthur (FE4)
14. Alois
15. Deen (FE5)
16. Gilliam
17. Ashe
18. Inigo
19. Zihark
20. Dozla

Only the top three and the bottom four are in any kind of order. The top three are the characters I definitely want more than any others and the bottom four are characters that have seasonal variants in Heroes, but I still want their base forms (I don't count Elice as a seasonal because I don't count being a Duo backpack as representation).

[Tybrosion]

1. regular Fafnir [Heroes]
2. Elice [Shadow / Mystery]
3. Patty [Genealogy]
4. Tine [Genealogy]
5. Gonzalez [Binding]
6. Sain [Blazing]
7. Tormod [Radiance / Radiant]

The order is just by game. My most wanted at this point would be a tie between base Severa and Caeldori.

This list is also completely even between males and females, surprisingly.

[GrandeRampel]

In no particular order (except first place):

 

1. Dorothy FE6

2. Soan FE10

3. Niime FE6

4. Tina FE5

5. Phila FE13

6. Mozu FE14

7. Ladislava FE16

16. Nuibaba FE15

17. Medeus FE3/12

18. Meg FE10

19. Fiona FE10

20. Heather FE10

But as usual, what I want most (perhaps even more than Dorothy) is for other FE media to get representation. Warriors, the Champion's Blade and Cipher are my actual most wanted.

[Mercakete]

Yaaay new top 20 thread! Okay, here we go!

 

1. Elena (FE9)

2. Boyd (FE9) (He's in! As a TT+ child, but he's in! Man, this might be weird for Halloween Rolf, but I bet Oscar's going to be happy to dote on both of his tiny brothers.)

3. Elm (Heroes) (He got in as a New Years unit!)

4. Franz (FE8)

5. Forde (FE8)

6. Kyle (FE8)

7. Alois (FE16)

8. Professor Hanneman (FE16)

9. Nasir (FE9)

10. Almedha (FE10)

11. Rajaion (FE9)

12. Shura (FE14)

13. Kieran (FE9)

14. Dwyer (FE14) (I was beginning to just not expect him. XD Glad he's in! Kind of disappointed he's a staff unit, though. I hope he gets an alt!)

15. Kent (FE7) (I'm kind of amazed he got in alongside his friend! 2 for 1 special!)

16. Sain (FE7) (See above.)

17. Dew (FE4)

18. Anakos (FE14)

19. Jake (any -- show me what the Annas do!)

20. Etzel (FE11)

 

It was harder to pick units off the top of my head this time. I have more, though, like Jeralt (FE16), Askr (Heroes), and Matthis (FE11). Of course I still want Tormod and Muarim, and there are certain units who are in the game but I was certain versions of, but that's a little too specific for this thread, so I just went with whoever has no playable version at all yet in Heroes. Let's see if we get any of these guys this year!

Edit: I just wanted to point out how many that didn't make the list but are honorable mentions have gotten into the game. XD I crossed them out in that little post script paragraph to show that they got in.

Already going to have to change your number 12 haha.

16. Gilliam
20. Dozla

Yeah...yeah, guess I'm not getting either of them this year. Unless Gilliam gets a seasonal alt, that is. Dozla, though, no chance, since for him it's specifically New Hero that I want because he already has a seasonal.

No change, just a little checkmark, a "oh one of my list made it, let's see how many more make it!" 😛

Good point haha. Well congratulations to people that had any of the new heroes on their list!

[Sunwoo]

The new Sacred Stones banner didn't have anyone who would've been on my top ten, I guess. Only the first four are in any order, I guess.

1. Tormod
2. Stefan
3. Laurent
4. Saleh
5. Artur
6. Shin
7. Dayan
8. Fred
9. Amalda
10. Ilios (not!Olwen, don't know what his official name is)
11. Elice
12. Nyna
13. FE4!Claud
14. Midir
15. Scathach
16. Muarim
17. Scarlet
18. Coirpre
19. Janaff
20. FE4!Arthur

It was way too hard coming up with 20 of these guys. I wanted to stop at like 10.

Edited April 18, 2022 by Sunwoo

[Jotari]

So, amending my list from last year.

1. Emperor Alvis

2. Medues

3. Medeus again

4. Fallen Gunther (only if he's a mounted breath unit summoning stone head Anankos)

5,6,7. Jedah, Marla and Hestia (all as seasonals using their default designs)

8. Blume (or Reptor) for more armoured mages

9. Elffin (as a mounted dancer, yes he doesn't use a horse in Binding Blade, but canonically he does ride them)

10. Yukimura (as a Knife Cavalry, are only canon one we're likely to get)

11. Nergal (another armoured mage oppertunity)

12. Nergal again, only crazy and summoning the fire dragon (so armoured breath unit)

13. Time Skip Dedue (as a beast unit)

14. Sephiran

15. Ashera

16. Pain and Agony (duo unit)

17. Anankos

18. Rhea

19. Julius, as a legendary and a more powerful unit. As he was always underwhelming in Heroes.

20. Future Past Tiki taking on the Mantle of Naga (too many Tikis? Nah, you can always have more Tikis, espceically as this would be an Adult Tiki alt of which we only have one right now)

21. Elice (I want them to do something interesting with Aum)

And we can see that only two of my most wanted characters, Rhea and Ashera, got into the game...I didn't really expect a whole lot more than that. I also gave 21 last time (because it was 2021). So to give an even 20 this time, I guess I'll add to that list...hmm...let me see. Alright, never going to happen, but I want to see Cowen from Thracia 776, Sais's grandfather fought in the Reinhardt chapter. He's less obscure than Dithorba, being a relative of a party member and associated with the Heroes favourite Reinhardt, but he's an old ass man, so I don't see it happening. As for why I'd like him? Well he's the closest thing the series has to a proper Armoured Staff user.

[Opdepov]

1. Geitz 
2. Renault 
3. Nergal 
4. Lester 
5. Noire 
6. Frey
7. Dorothy
8. Bartre (FE7)
9. Guy
10. Makalov

I can probably think of 10 more to add, but honestly beyond these characters I don't really care that much.

Edited November 29, 2022 by Opdepov

[Florete]

I'll take the remains of last year's list and...do something.

1. Mozu (infantry lance)
2. Volug (infantry beast)
3. Kent (cavalry sword)
4. Sain (cavalry lance)
5. Marcus (FE7) (cavalry lance or axe)
6. Isadora (cavalry sword)
7. Elimine (mythic, staff)
8. Cath (infantry dagger)
9. Heather (infantry dagger)
10. Scarlet (flying axe)
11. Dorothea (infantry blue tome, sing)
12. Judith (2021 wishlist ends here)
13. Legendary or Ascended Sothe
14. Anna (any)

That's all I got lol. Mozu is still the only one I significantly care about. More lore mythics are always cool, though.

[Seafarer]

Well, I just finished playing through Tellius for the first time, so my list is likely to be a bit skewed. In no particular order:

1. Nealuchi
2. Muarim
3. Meg
4. Stefan
5. Mycen
6. Laurent
7. Galzus
8. Boyd
9. Levail
10. Nasir
11. Shiharam
12. Nergal
13. Jahn
14. Daisy
15. Elice
16. Nyna
17. Pamela
18. Phila
19. Raydrik
20. Skrimir

And on top of that, a good refine for Haar, so he can take his rightful place in at least one of FEH's metagames.

@Ice Dragon

Hey, man. You know, I was just thinking that I might have figured out your most-wanted character that you may not have thought of yet, so please tell me what you think. Here's what I'm thinking: Ninian...with a ponytail.
