    Actual numbers, please.

    "It happens"? Yes, of course it happens. Hydro Pump misses. A lot. Yet has an 80% chance to hit. "Hydro Pump misses a lot" is not evidence that the 80% chance to hit is not actually 80%.

    As someone who has played a lot of Challenge Cup in Pokemon Stadium 2, you really should be using Thunder in your example instead.

    Yes I know it has worse accuracy (70%), but that 70% sure feels more like a coin flip (50%) a lot of the time.

    Coincidentally, the average VG match is also essentially a coin flip.

  2. IS is entirely capable of making a banner that's just "pick whoever you want to summon from this group". That is exactly what they did with the AHR Engage Cup that they held a bit before Engage's release, and they let us pick between twelve units from that.

    IS could easily do the same thing with the top eight of A Hero Rises, but they apparently find it funny to instead let Voting Gauntlets determine what we get.

    But the 3H fans still got the last laugh by getting Claude in over Camilla who has the far better fodder and utility at the moment. Crazy how fast powercreep grew from the Wind Tribe banner, but still.

    Exactly. Even Claude managed to win, and on his first trip to a AHR VG too.

    What excuse does Edelgard even have for her losses at this point?

  4. The green dream was realized once again, as Peony, Dimitri, Claude and F!Alear are the winners of the first round and will all be featured on the AHR 2024 banner.

    Also, imagine being an academy house leader who (yet again) doesn't get to appear on the AHR banner. RIP Adrestian bozo, for the sixth time in these AHR Voting Gauntlets.

    It is interesting that Arthur is the only first-tier unit that comes with fourth-tier skills though.

    As it turns out, that would be a product of IS's refusal to use Jugdral with any sort of consistency on Special Heroes banners.

    The most recent seasonal 4 star focus unit from Jugdral was Scion Lewyn in 2021......who was already used in the third set of Divine Code paths. They also had to use a 5 star (Scion Julia) to start the Jugdral path in the fourth set of Divine Codes.

    True, Fallen Alear could work as well. We never see Fallen Alear use Wille Glanz and have no indication that it even existed in that era, but considering Fallen Alear only ever uses Marth's weapons, it would fill in a natural gap (well I guess there's also the other Fallen Alear aka, spoiler, Veyle's corrupted, but that happens before Wille Glanz access.

    Fallen Alear doesn't have to be the Alear from the past. There's also the one from the bad ending you get if you lose on the final map.

    Also, past Alear never using Wille Ganz shouldn't matter at all to FEH anyways. Due to FEH, Mulagir has more or less become Lyn's signature weapon even though Mulagir isn't even obtainable in Blazing Blade.

    Maybe Fallen Lumera will get it if they can resist making her a dragon.

    A Fallen Lumera should be Sword Infantry (again) since she never uses her dragon form in Engage’s actual gameplay (unlike Rhea / Seiros in Three Houses).

    There is also a good chance that Wille Ganz gets used by a Fallen Alear instead, though.

    We already have a baby banner but I think an adult banner would be far more interesting. A banner about teenage or child characters having grown up and are in the prime of their life.  The Blazing Sword crew is the most fitting for such a scenario. Rebecca from when she's Roy's milk mother, Lyn's adult form or Pent in his retired state would all be good candidates for that. Another possibility is Gen 1 Genealogy characters in an alternative scenario where they were allowed to grow older, or the Awakening gen 1 cast from Lucina's timeline. 

    There’s also that concept art for an older Sanaki that went unused. I would kinda like to see that realized in FEH.

    Find a villain and dress him up as scrooge, then have him meet three heroes to learn him a valuable lesson.

    Nah, it doesn’t even need to be a villain. Just have Anna play Scrooge since she only cares about money and commercialism to begin with.

  9. I hate Edelgard so much that I will very likely go with Peony even though I already have Peony and not Edelgard.

    Besides Dimitri, I have (or in Claude’s case, had) everyone else here. I am not going with Dimitri because I’m actually that done with Three Houses at this point.

    Besides, I can get behind supporting the green dream especially when it comes at Edelgard’s expense.

  10. Mirabilis is actually decently likely here, unfortunately for me. They had her JP voice actress (Misaki Kuno) cover Safy last month.

    Other characters who have had their JP voice actor show up recently (within the last couple of months) also include, but aren't limited to:

    Lif: shares with Mauvier (Tomoaki Maeno)
    Lon'qu, Niles, and Seteth (among a couple of others): share with Kagetsu (Takehito Koyasu)
    Ryoma: shares with Lyon (Yuichi Nakamura)
    Shamir: shares with Fluorspar Selena (Yurina Watanabe)
    Titania: shares with Altina (Miho Miyagawa)
    Alcryst: shares with Perne (Nobuhiko Okamoto)
    F!Shez: shares with Tina (Miyu Tomita)
    F!Robin and F!Morgan: share with Camilla (Miyuki Sawashiro)
    Citrinne: shares with Isadora (Ikumi Hasegawa)
    Karel: shares with Zelgius (Junji Majima)

  11. The biggest thing that would genuinely annoy me with this one is if they still continue with the Macedon characters and put either Lena, Matthis or Julian here. To recap:

    2018: Catria
    2019: Palla
    2020: Est
    2021: Minerva
    2022: Maria
    2023: Michalis

    The original Spring banner in 2017 (and also the first Special Heroes banner in general) is the only one that did not have a Macedon character.

    So, Brave Hector next, right? Right?!

    He probably actually is next with how fast they’re going through the CYL2 units. The last three Resplendents released on the 25th of the month were CYL Ephraim, CYL Veronica and (in a few days) CYL Celica.

  13. This came early and out of nowhere, but Embla Selena (aka Severa, so this is not Fluorspar Selena) is next after CYL Celica:

    https://fehpass.fire-emblem-heroes.com/en-US/00005006000020/

    I’m actually ashamed of myself for not including Selena on my list because she really needed this art glow-up. Pity that she’s yet another launch era character with a nonexistent Atk stat, though.

    Oh, and why back to back Embla Resplendents, IS?

    Actually, after they added Emblems, I think I acquired some hope about Gauntlets (or body arts) in the future, since they love to add new stuff to try to pull more people into the game. They added Canto only in book V, now they came up with Divine Veins, they make a new type of hero every year, what could possibly be stopping them from doing gauntlets someday then? That it'd be a new weapon type with very few units? That'd just mean it's a rare type of unit (until it isn't), we have few colorful bows and colorless tomes, it'd just work like that. I think they're just waiting until they can think of a gimmick for gauntlets and will release them eventually. 

     The fact that Engage calls it "body arts" makes me think this even more, because it looks like they're trying to make the category be less restricted.

    To me, Legendary F!Alear was the last nail in the coffin for gauntlets / body arts ever being implemented. For context, Alear's promoted class in Engage gets access to body arts and Legendary F!Alear is very clearly using a body arts scroll (it's attached to her waist in her art). 

    .......And Legendary F!Alear is instead a dragon unit who doesn't transform into a dragon. I personally can't see gauntlets / body arts ever being implemented into FEH after they did that with Legendary F!Alear.

  15. Hyacinth's class is Martial Master, and that class uses staves and body arts (Engage's version of gauntlets from Three Houses). Though when he wields Emblem Lyn, Hyacinth also gets access to swords (Mani Katti) and bows (Killer Bow).

    Since Heroes has no interest in adding gauntlets / body arts as a weapon type, I suppose Hyacinth (and by proxy, Framme and Jean who are both Martial Monks) would be a staff unit by default in Heroes.

    If that turned out to be the case, it's not really a strike against Edward. He would never be a GHB regardless. That would be a great opportunity for Stefan. Pretty much the only way Edward is coming to FEH is either on a banner (likely a demote like Kagetsu because male sword infantries mostly don't get prf treatment unless you're Marth or Harken.) or a TT reward which is more along the lines of a unit like Aran or Laura.

    Gregor also inexplicably got premium treatment as a sword infantry back in 2022. At times, it really feels like they just randomly decide who gets to be premium.

    It has to be a Dawn Brigade banner which is inherently a problem because there are 4 core members that aren't Sothe and Micaiah and since there's always a Rearmed/Attuned/Duo unit on those banners now we're pretty much guaranteed to get at least one character that is already in the game. 

    The next Tellius New Heroes banner also has to be for Radiant Dawn, and that is far from a sure thing when Radiant Dawn just got one a year ago.

    Path of Radiance, meanwhile, hasn’t gotten a New Heroes banner since November 2021 (aka the end of Book V). I feel like we’re due for a new PoR banner that’ll feature non-kiddie Boyd and something like Ascended Mist, Titania or Mia.

    Another route they could take is the Inigo/Ross/Patty route where they just inject him into the pool, that would suck though. Seems like they would do that for Leonardo for some reason. But I digress.

    It is technically possible for Edward (or Leonardo and Nolan) to be demotes but still get their Prf weapons. It’s not particularly common, of course, but demotes with Prf weapons do exist like Seteth, Lex, Orochi, and F!Shez.

    When you come to the sad realization that every nearly every Tellius Myrmidon has been added into Heroes except for your favorite...

    Edward when? Will the Dawn Brigade ever show up in FEH? I swear to God if the next sword unit we get from Tellius is Stefan... I'm going to shoot someone.

    Well unfortunately for you, Stefan did place higher than Edward did in CYL8.

    These are the highest placing characters from CYL8 who aren't in Heroes, up to where Edward placed:

    Spoiler

    Touma & Cain [TMS]: 29th
    Rosado [Engage]: 30th, was just added into FEH yesterday
    Goldmary [Engage]: 34th
    Panette [Engage]: 37th
    Nel [Engage]: 43rd
    Hortensia [Engage]: 47th, was also just added into FEH yesterday
    Pandreo [Engage]: 51st
    Merrin [Engage]: 55th
    Nidhoggr [Heroes]: 60th
    Mauvier [Engage]: 62nd, was just added as a GHB unit today
    Fogado [Engage]: 65th
    Grima [Awakening]: 68th*
    Framme [Engage]: 71st
    Kagetsu [Engage]: 72nd, was yet another one who just added into FEH yesterday
    Maiko [TMS]: 75th
    Stefan [PoR / RD]: 77th
    Tiki [TMS]: 78th
    Rafal [Engage]: 87th
    Amber [Engage]: 91st
    Hraesvelgr [Heroes]: 93rd
    Yashiro & Navarre [TMS]: 105th
    Boucheron [Engage]: 106th
    Edward [RD]: 109th

    * = It's up to you whether or not you want to count Grima for this list. While Grima is in FEH via possessing Robin (multiple times, in fact), there is also the fact that there isn't a unit that is explicitly named "Grima" like there is for Fomortiis (who also got into FEH via possessing someone).

    Basically, the above list is comprised of majority Engage (even with four characters just coming off of the list), a couple of TMS characters, and two FEH Book VIII OCs who are guaranteed to be playable by the end of 2024.

    That basically leaves Stefan as the highest ranking missing character who isn't from Engage or TMS. Therefore, he is pretty likely to be the GHB unit that accompanies the CYL8 banner assuming IS doesn't shoehorn a Fodlan character in that spot instead. The highest ranking Fodlan character not in FEH barely ranked inside CYL8's top 150 (Rodrigue at 148th).

    What? Since when they reveal a list of who is appearing in each character's Forging Bonds? I think I'm missing something here, that's not in the notifications page of the game right?

    It gets posted on the FEH Twitter / X. They do indeed not post it on the in game notification board.

    Yeah, I revise me "no complaints" comment. This refusal to use the actual weapons from the game annoys me. I don't want a "[insert adjective] [insert weapon type]" prf weapon when the game has two S ranked weapons for every weapon type and they refuse to use either. One of the things I thought was really cool when I first for into heroes was stuff like Lillina using Foreblaze not because she has any connection to it but because it just makes sense. Like, that's so much nicer than "Ostia's Heir Tome" or whatever they'd use of she was a Fates or Engage character. As these two games in particular get brunt of this "ignoring weapons" blind spot. No doubt because the weapons themselves have less plot relevance, but they still exist damnit. Use them!

    I mean, in Mauvier's case the Flame Lance was already given to Petrine, and she definitely doesn't seem like the type who likes to share.

    Oh? Interesting. I wonder if they'll do something funny with the FBs in other languages too?

    Yeah, these are all the FE characters that Koyasu voices: Navarre, Lon'qu, Niles, Saber, Lewyn, Pent, Seteth, Validar (who was just added to FEH two months ago), Kagetsu, Fehnix (not playable but also counts, I guess).

    Koyasu kinda stands out among this game's Japanese voice cast as there (at least, when compared to the English voice cast) aren't that many other JP voice actors who voice four (or more) different characters.

    The forging bonds partners have been revealed and surprisingly(as well as disappointingly) Rosado isn't paired up with Forrest. He gets the chat with the Askr siblings instead. But Seteth's gonna be there too for Kagetsu and that's pretty nice

    They never list all of the characters who appear in each Forging Bonds story. If they did, Fjorm's name would always pop up.

    As for Kagetsu, they aren't being very subtle as to why he is on this banner. He, Seteth and Navarre are all voiced by Takehito Koyasu. Don't be surprised if Saber and/or Lon'qu also show up in Kagetsu's Forging Bonds.
