Female Byleth would have fit perfectly with the Summer units lol. Maybe they anticipated she would win CYL and wanted to give the male version something.

I think the Youtuber Mekkah did a Byleth Solo run on CF Maddening. And I saw someone else do a Byleth/Edelgard duo run. Dimitri is busted and can solo without question. The other characters are probably decent except the Brawler guys. They have low speed and res. And outside of NG+ they would need Quick Reposte which is an endgame skill.

It's been a while, but I used her in my Lunatic run, and she is a good delete button. To be fair I also gave her Certain Blow so that gets rid of her main flaw.

Are you talking about the final map? I just had Dimitri Vantage Kill those siege tomes with Retribution, and made efforts to snipe the ballistas with Stride/Warp usage. I had to restart once because my Dimitri wasn't fully optimized for crit rate and those Mortal Savants have relatively high luck. There was one set of Bolting Mage reinforcements that was complete BS though.

Alert Stance on everyone? I know Flier memeing is the most efficient way to play, but it seems a little excessive. I agree that Healing isn't too big of a deal. You can make reliable dodge tanks, player phase nukes, and I like to use Battalion Desperation on some units. I remember the thing that annoyed me was not being able to get a second Flying battalion until after Gronder, so either my Byleth or Ingrid had to go without one. I don't understand your qualm with the reclassing. Being able to counter attack Edelgard with the Chalice would have been too cheesy. The thing is that you can blocker her attack with the Sacred Shield gambit, and also Hapi is her priority because of her ability. I haven't done CF Maddening, but from Hard mode tanking with Edelgard isn't too great. I guess you can dump a bunch of stat boosters into her and give her the Aegis Shield. If you're talking about her taking hits in general, I usually having her bait with a Training Sword so that she doesn't get doubled. For the stat curve you can look it up on a wiki, but I think the enemy stats will be similar to other routes, but since you have fewer chapters your units will be a little behind.

I didn't feel getting Sword Crit would be too hard if you focused on Sword a lot, but I didn't look into Alert Stance being learned at B, so that will take a lot of investment. I guess D+ was in my mind because you need C rank Armor for Weight -3 from Armor, so I thought there was a 1 to 1 comparison.

Assassin is pretty cool. I was thinking get Swordmaster as well. You can probably get Sword Crit+10 pretty early, then with Alert Stance from D+ Flying, Retribution from one of those early Blue Lion battalions, and Wo Dao+/Killing Edge+you can cheese the game Dimitri-style. I saw someone mention getting Death Blow and Darting Blow, but I've gotten through Hard quite comfortably without going for that stuff. Hit+20 from mastering Archer guarantees you're hits though.

The final map isn't to bad. The last couple of TT had some borderline broken bosses that they had to remove their Distant Counter. The big lake in the middle means it's time to use Final Fantasy Morgan instead of the usually Brave Edelgard in auto-battle.

Well we're at 4.75% on the Summer Banner. I'm just feeling the off focus waiting to ruin me. I'll deal with the sunken cost later in the week.

Ah yes my favorite FE6 character Bridal Catria coming in clutch. My FE6 roster is so weak lol, at least Cecilia was great on this map, and I have the rare Larum.

Next +10 Grail Unit? It feels bad to try to invest in Innes since I don't have Time's Pulse fodder. How many units can even make decent use of the Push seals? Guinivere is one that comes to mind. Marianne heals during combat, so it's still pretty bad.

Duo Hilda is more of an Arena unit. Being able to Isolate Azura/Sigurd/Peony if you can't bait them out, then giving your allies the Breath effect to proc your Ruptured Sky and kill them if they touch you. Speaking of arena mister magic thunder man is getting 2 new toys lol.

This banner is so stacked. I'd be surprised if this isn't one of their best selling banners. The thing that's baiting me the most is the Ability Doubler on Caspar. I want to give it to Ashera. Leonie as the TT unit is cool. I don't have a high merged Colorless Bow cavalier so....

Maybe, but she has those 3 cow licks. I doubt they wouldn't have that feature noticeable even if her hair might be wet. Then if you inspect the silhouette the one on the left is wearing a little vest with a hoodie, which matches Ashe's outfit.

I hope they don't make Caspar the Tempest Unit with yet another Axe. And that certain someone better not be on this banner, because I'm trying to save.

I imagine Manela as a Flying Healer, but she could be a Flying Dagger too. Hopefully a demote so she's easily mergable. We'll see if they add gauntlets in the next book. That's the big thing holding back Balthus's addition as well as the other Ashen Wolves. Same goes for base Raphael and potentially Caspar. I imagine Yuri as a Sword unit with his Relic giving +1 Mov. Then he would have a gimmick similar to Leila, so making him a Dagger would have some overlap. She should might be Red since Snake Spirit is likely for her and a Blue Brave Tome overlaps with Dire Thunder, but I guess the weapons that Soiree Reinhardt and Ishtar have exist. Colorless Brave Tome would be nuts, but there's plenty of broken stuff in the game anyway.

Well the Rabbit Tome heals her I guess. They aren't going to give a free demote character something premium like Even Recovery(even though the odd version far outclasses it). I see people over on Reddit crying over NFU and NCD not being more available. Man the SoV and 3H implementation of stuff has been disappointing you. At least Tatiana and Marianne aren't some throwaway Infantry Healers. I guess Marianne could have been a premium Cavalry Staff unit.

You still have to get to level 15 for certain skills like Axefaire on potentially Percy for example. This game isn't as bad with grinding for skills since your levels don't reset after you Second Seal into a class. Generally you want to get the kids by chapter 19 IIRC, because they will have the ability to be in their advanced classes from their Offspring Seals, and this will save you Master Seals.

It's crazy to me that we're just now getting Jorge's rerun. I haven't been keeping track of other GHB reruns, but his sticks out to me because he came out during the CYL banner last year. And Frontline Snorlanx is back. Did the update even fix the balancing of that mode, because it's not a good look that the player base hasn't been able to get max rewards since the second iteration and on.

Her not having armor is weird, but I think Alphonse broke it in the first movie. I wonder if they will make the armorless variant of Reginn playable since she has that special sword.

Yeah it's called Fire Emblem: Heroes. You just have to "commission" the modders.

Well cool that Corrin won. Sucks that I couldn't cash in the on the last hour multiplier, because I was napping. I guess I could be in the top 100 next round., but my cumulative score won't be as good.

Wait this is the Prologue? RIP, guess I'll just copy paste.

Here's my list of opinions on the gambits. I tried to fill out the rankings. Like something has to be 10/10 and something has to be 1/10. Speaking of this topic the main site still hasn't filled out some of the gambit info.

I didn't exactly Fallen Edelgard cheese, because she would die if I dropped her in the middle of things. I had her camp on the defense tile in front of the Manakete. Eliwood provided Ability Doubler. L!Corrin and my own Ashera cleaned up the spawns at the bottom.
