well, of course i agree this is the easiest way they could go, and i'd be fine with them being nothing but manaketes with different sprites, but this wouldn't make them feel unique, and laguz are indeed unique: making them look like alternate manaketes wouldn't do justice to them; this is just my opinion, though as for xane, i don't really know, maybe he could be able to randomly transform into an ally unit, acting like that unit, but keeping xane's passive, assist and//or special skills and sacred seals if IntSys wants to keep their original weaknesses, i think it would be better to make them having the color disadvantage i was just about to write this, but you outspeeded me; btw, i completely agree about laguz colors, for the exact same reasons i'd like reyson to be colorless instead of blue, just to make him different, and not another blue refresher (we already have azura and ninian) as for taguels, wolfskins and kitsunes, i don't really know: maybe taguels and kitsunes could be green and wolfskins colorless

i'd really love to see some other shapeshifters, such as xane, panne, selkie and literally every laguz in fire emblem heroes, so i created this topic to know other people's opinion in particular, laguz are hard to represent in heroes, since they have a gauge that determines if they can actually do something useful or not btw, these are my ideas about some laguz: i think these concepts could represent them quite well, but feel free to say your opinion, or even completely different ideas, both for laguz and other shapeshifters Ranulf, colorless, beast laguz (3 spaces of movement, weak to fire magic) HP: 50, ATK: 31, SPD: 31, DEF: 24, RES: 10, Raw Rating: 145 Weapon: Claw, mt: 11, range: 1, Effect: if unit initiates combat, atk/spd/def/res+6 during combat Special Skill: Rend (5 turns cooldown, raises ATK by 100% during combat, enemy is paralyzed after combat, only inheritable by cat laguz) Passive Skills: A) Fury 3 C) Goad Shapeshifters (grants atk/spd +4 to every shapeshifter ally within 2 spaces during combat, not applied to manaketes) Naesala, colorless, raven laguz (flying unit, 2 spaces of movement, weak to wind magic) HP: 47, ATK: 27, SPD: 37, DEF: 17, RES: 23, Raw Rating: 150 Weapon: Great Beak, mt: 14, range: 1, Effect: if unit initiates combat, atk/spd/def/res+6; can counterattack ranged attacks (counterattack counts as green magical damage) Special Skill: Tear (3 turns cooldown, raises ATK by 50% during combat, inflicts spd-5 to the enemy after combat, like seal spd, inheritable only by hawk and raven laguz) Passive Skills: B) Vantage 3, C) Hone Shapeshifters (atk/spd +6 to adiacent shapeshifters ally at the start of your turn, not applied to manaketes) Reyson, colorless, heron laguz (flying unit, 2 spaces of movement, weak to wind magic) HP: 40, ATK: 21, SPD: 36, DEF: 20, RES: 30, Raw Rating: 147 Weapon: Dirge of Ruin, mt: 14, range 2 (magical attack), Effect: if unit initiates combat, atk/spd/def/res+6, deals 6 more damage to the enemy after combat Assist Skill: Canto (same effect as dance, but with a cooler name) Passive Skills: A) Distant Defense 3, C) Blessing (heals 6 hp to adiacent allies at the start of your turn) I deciced to make laguz as colorless units, in order to make the colorless hell less "hellish", but i decided to keep their original weaknesses to magic (fire for beast laguz, wind for bird laguz and thunder for dragon laguz); other shapeshifters could be red, blue or green what do you think shapeshifters could work in heroes? let me know, i'm curious!

that would be a nice idea, but IntSys would need a lot of time to establish them i'm open to new archetypes, if they want to introduce them, "one-shot" types of characters would be ok as well, for me

well, you can choose only the jeigan option, nobody's forcing you also, yes, i completely forgot that only binding blade has a knight trio! thank you, gonna edit right now

it just came to my mind that in fates some common archetypes were not present, like the red/green cavaliers, the axe fighters duo, the pegasus trio, and so on would you like to see old archetypes coming back in FE Switch? if so, which ones?

eh, i know it's very unlikely, but i still have a bit of hope for jugdral to at least have one dlc character... who knows, maybe IntSys and koei will make us a big surprise and give us hannibal

as much as i love bards and dancers, i don't mind what they will be in fe16, i'll use refreshers anyway, and i'd love them being able to refresh more units at once, just like transformed herons and dancers in fe4 this said, i'd really want to see them being able to attack: swords, lances, magic, AXES, i don't know, just let them deal at least 1 hp damage... i thought about it just this morning, and i thought it would be awesome they could be unable to attack when unpromoted, but then being able to wield a weapon after promotion

thanks for your clarification i completely forgot about free dlc, but i agree with you about tharja, azura and a few other characters being released for free

i honestly don't know why people think/hope dlc to be themed on SD, awakening and fates when we already have the vanilla game to mainly represent those games: having even more characters from those games would be unnecessarily redundant, imo i mean, it's since we got to know that this game would've represented only 3 games, and neither equally, that people try to calm down angry/pissed fans with the "older characters will be dlc" excuse, and that's exactly what i want dlc to be: older characters who are not popular enough (in IntSys' mind) to get into the vanilla game btw, i never played HW, so i don't know how they handled dlc with that game, but these are my hopes and thoughts i think dlc packs will include the frightening "parade of lords" members, but i hope they only have 1 sword character, 2 at most, and the rest to be other weapons what i hope is that dlc are continent/game/storyline themed, so i hope for a general "jugdral pack", or a "holy knight's army" pack, with characters like sigurd, quan, levin and the barbecue king arvis brigid, and a "light inheritors" pack with seliph, febail, arthur and altena, or even a thracia pack with finn, leif, the almighty P U G I wielder and linoan or seti (if levin isn't added first) then i hope for an elibe pack with eliwood, hector, klein, roy and lilina the magvel pack could be eirika, ephraim, lute, innes and lyon and the last one (not in terms of release) would be the tellius pack, with ike (i still hope he'll be in the base game), micaiah, boyd, shinon and gatrie (i'd LOVE to see some laguz, but let's face it, they won't make it in) what i think it's more likely to happen, is at least one "more awakening and fates" pack: i know a lot of people would love to see tharja and azura, and vaike would make me very happy, but if they haven't been added in the base game in first place, there must be a reason and the reason is that they want people to pay for them

thank you all! also, Ycine, thanks for the link

i hope skills do come back in fe16, but i'd be fine with arts too, even though i don't exactly love them if they'll bring back the "tellius" skills system, so having skills in form of scrolls that you can give/take to/from everyone (unless they're locked skills) it would be the best for me, but since IS always changes the skills mechanic, i think we'll get a brand new system, for the series who knows, maybe we'll end up having skills with a certain number of times you can use them, like in final fantasy viii

make healers crush heads with their staves like in radiant dawn it was the most useless thing in the world, but it was so hilarious!

this was hard, but eventually i chose third tier classes honestly, i'd like to see both braching promotions and 3rd tier classes

the only character i'd LOVE to see in warriors (and know he won't be added) is levin (i'm pretty sure ike, my favourite fe character, will be added someway, so i went with levin) damn, how awesome would it be to destroy enemies with forseti? sadly, this will never happen, probably not even in a potential sequel

Hello, everyone! I'm Yexin (my actual name is Michele), i'm italian and I love fire emblem since 2013, when i first played blazing sword: i absolutely fell in love with that game (lyn's story arc's ending made me cry), so yeah, i have to thank lyn, eliwood and hector and mostly erk if i'm here now as i guess you can see, even though i love blazing sword, genealogy and echoes, my favourite fe title is path of radiance (+ radiant dawn) i also like drawing, and, if you're asking, yes, i drew my profile pic: i have in mind to make my own fe hack rom, (i already planned the story and the majority of chracters, but the problem is that i really don't know how to make hack roms, if someone knows it, or knows where i should ask, please tell me!) and she's one of the most importat characters of the game, and her name, Yexin (i explain the pronounciation and the origin of the name in my profile page), is also my profile name, even though i'm male, because i just love her! sorry if i took so long to introduce myself (i made this account like 2 years ago), and excuse me for my bad english, but i hope to enjoy my stay here on serenes forest thank you for your attention!
