Jotari Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 5 hours ago, Seazas said: Not exactly. Monica is in Three Houses, just in the form of the Kronya plotpoint and her being used as a disguise. The disguised Monica and Kronya bit got replaced with the real Monica. And it's an upgrade since she's actually pretty solid and alright in the main story. Yeah, but Monica still isn't in Three Houses. Her character design is, that's it. 5 hours ago, Seazas said: She didn't because her plans didn't work the same way they did in Three Hopes. Jeritza, a spy of the Empire, got to be a professor, Kostas was slain allowing the bandits to retreat to the secret hideout, and Monica was still alive in that moment. Edelgard herself highlights it as a miracle that everything was gathered there at once for Edelgard to have a chance to save Monica. Yeah, Jeritza being a professor seems to be key thing. So it was less Shez showing up and more Byleth not showing up that changed things. 3 hours ago, Dark Holy Elf said: Not only this, but literally the first two recruits the Eagles get are Constance and Hapi. Six mages by the end of chapter 4! I'd probably have made Monica a different class by default, but I guess they wanted to give her the Crest of Macuil which was already established as a "mage" Crest. And yeah, most everyone who isn't one of the original 24 students or Shez (or the Wolves, to a lesser extent) has a pretty shallow support list. As a new character, Monica is arguably hurt by this the most, along with Holst. I did like the Monica supports we did get and she did have some main story presence which helped. Took the words right out of my mouth. It all goes back to the Crest of Macuil. Though ironically, if Monica had been designed as a thief unit (which would have been useful as there's few dedicated thieves in Three Houses), her crest still would have been useful since she'd be locked into Trickster and hybrid units are busted (I assume by "increase Magic damage" refers to combat arts and not just regular attacks).

Of course, that doesn't completely solve her redundancy issues since one of the few dedicated thieves is Petra. Still, it'd still be better than four pure mages in one class.

Like, Rodrigue and to a lesser extent Holst are older, they probably don't have as much in common with the students, it's not as much of a surprise that they have fewer supports. But Monica, in theory, is in the same situation as the rest of the Black Eagles, and she joins the Black Eagles after their first mission, it's not like they know each other much better than they know her at this point, she's spent about as much time with them as they've spent with each other. That's the thing. The Black Eagles have an entire game of content and Three Hopes is meant to be a lowkey follow up of Houses. While Monica is just coming into existence while spending her time being a servant above all else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndriaStewart Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Monica is doing OK.I am seeing your article right now. I saw a piece that listed 5 life lessons you can learn from Macbeth. By using this [link], you may view the story. Also, where can I learn more about it?

Metal Flash Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I am by no means a fan of Monica in Three Hopes, too much Edelgard simping for me. What I did find kind of interesting though, is that, I saw many like or even love her because she is such a Edelgard simp. Whether it be because "she just like me, fr, fr", or because they were happy to have a blatant lesbian character whose feelings aren`t ambiguous. Just something I found a bit interesting. With that said, I do like her new Hopes design, just something about it that I enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Edelgard offered to fuck her Monica would probably protest and declare herself unworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, Heroes isn`t super reliable when it comes to this sort of thing. So I guess it depends on how the individual looks at it.

It's definitely love in a romantic angle, her supports with El support it. Using words like "the one for her" leaves very little room for interpretation.
