thats so wrong on so many levels, i cant even fathom it. You can Spd stack an Enemy phase unit much much easier, which again makes Slow tanks redundant/less effectiv when compared with Fast Repell tanks. How you dont see how the skill as a whole for what it offers with no drawback isnt destructiv for the games health is beyond me. Neglecting or hurting a unit type class like slow Infantry tanks or mixed balanced infantry units further isnt a good choice. The skill literally packs in 2 reduction based Specials without the need to ready those specials. All it needs is SPD to make it more effectiv. But yeah lets just throw gamebalance out the window even further.

Looking forward to the beautifull almost nonexistent male Artwork for Summer!

not so sure if the next is muspell. they skiped once Embla. they might skip it again. I am starting to believe it doesnt follow a strict particular fixed order, only to some degree.

to be honest we are getting flooded with red and blue which is kinda bad (especially red): Red: Lyn, Roy, Eliwood, Sanaki, Sophia, Ike Blue: Azura, Cordelia, Linde Green: Hector... Although i have to say Blue isnt really spamed and is rather balanced, a Dancer, a nuker and a physical nuker. Meanwhile Red is like 2 Red slow nuked, 3 Inf Sword users... and 1 cav We really could use more Green and Colorless. Now for the next Muspell attire: should be a 5 Star exlusiv again although it would be nice to get a 3-4 Star muspell unit. They might though skip Muspell and go instantly to Embla? I hope they give this treatment to GHB units too... Zephiel could use a stat bump with all the other together too.

Repel and Close Call were a mistake how they were handled. high Spd units are allready offensiv powerhouses (if they have a decent attack stat). The effect is too strong makeing slow infantry tanks redundant, which imho isnt healthy for the game. It should have come with a detriment offense cost or it should not work against specials (ecxept for AoE specials). Its basicly a mini Aegis/Pavise combined without the need to occupy the Special slot and run down the cooldown. Its a really dumb OP skill how it is now, and there is no reason to run any slow Infantry unit at all (unless your Brave Ike) when you have this skill at your disposal. I am all for SPD tanks existing, but this is too excessiv.

same here. But there was HM boting present (not accusing anyone of it), so no surprise there

depends what they do with it, you still need both copies. I mean if they implement a way for alts to be "linked" (not merged) together and they can benefit from another why not, you still need the copies? Like if you link Regular Marth with Mythic Marth than you can equip Fire Emblem and Binding shield on regular Marth. Though limiting it to alts of the same character is very restrictiv

maybe its a possibility to "link" alts together. like regular Marth with Legendary Marth and you gain some form of stat boost or whatever. I dont know, i really am not looking forward to another BS like Duo-Skill units.

What they did right: - The difficulty in Mythic and Legendary heroes was spot on until recently where older units have a hard time to keep up, but that was expected with the new units powercreep and i dont mind it so far - I think the rewards they hand out is decent - The banners have gotten much more diverse which is a good thing - The inclusion of Mythics like Bramimond, Altina Naga Duma etc was excellent - There is a decent mix of involved PVE content (Hall of Forms) vs automatic PVE content (Lost Lore) What they did wrong: - BHB maps could have used a higher difficulty in the forms of Abyssal or Reinforcements (Tana & Amelia is the only one) - 4 Mythic blessings... made stuff much more convoluted in my eyes. They should have sticked with 2 Blessings at max, or should have allowed double blessings on regular Units so you dont have to divide your barracks into Arena vs AR - Duo-Skill units are just... ugh I still havent pulled activly for one until today because i refuse to support such a shit feature. - i think the powercreep went overboard, the BST increase in combination with the powercreep increase in weapons (1-2 effects vs now what? 3-4 effects) has gone overboard, especially since the start of Book 4, It was still okeish one year ago. - the slow paceing of Weapon refines is utter garbage - the inability of IS to implement weapon refines for Distant Counter weapons - the heavy emphasis on Dancers that basicly just undermines any strategy in a strategy game. I think the game should restrict the use of Dancers to 1 per Team (AR, Arena PVE everything) - no personal/refine weapons for old Healers - the inability to tweak the balance in such a way that its not only Special spamming (which makes Healers redundant). - the inability to further your old +10 favourite units aside from Dragonflowers and Tier4 skill inheritance. Basicly makeing you pray they soon get a refine and that the refine isnt garbage and they get the resplendant treat to make them competetiv again - the inability to implement ANY FORM of Co-op play. like seriously, the friend list is outside of unit picking for some specific modes utterly garbage and useless. - no regular Bruno and Veronica

what @XRaysays. Usually you should be fine with old +10 units and old skills to solve abyssal if you have invested into them with Dragonflowers and summoner support. The latest Abyssal stat bump and max BST powercreep makes it near impossible for the Askrtrio to clear Abyssals without any heavy investment. up until Leaf abyssal i was able to clear the stuff without any Dragonflower Summoner Support or a beefed up Veronica (although i used skill inheritance). Dont neglect old skills. Some old skills are actually still very good. Threaten Skills can change a map quite alot and make it easier although the skill is quite bad for PVP but great in PVE when you take positioning and spawn points into account. The question is do you want to use new Tier 4 skills on unmerged units or merge up easy old units and give them Dragonflower. New units should be able to clear Abyssals without neither of those depending on the Team-Comp please note i am not useing Dancer in my clears, this makes it extra harder. But thats my preference. In general though if you use the newer F2P units like Eir, Peony etc you should be fine without merges and not much or heavy skill inheritance, if you want to use specific loved units it depends on the Team comp

when i beat the very first BHB (Minerva and her sister) with just the Askrtrio + Wrys and no skill inheritance. Worst memory: Regular Bruno being skiped because there was no Farfetched banner anymore!

I dont care how they introduce OCs as long as they are introduced either as a seperate banner, free unit whatever. I am still waiting on Regular Veronica and Bruno... for so so so long -_- In all honesty i hope they introduce Veronica, Bruno and a 3. unit as the new free "Askr-trio" for Book 5 that cant be merged up. I dont mind that the Askrtrio cant be merged up, the bonus perk is that they are on constant rotation.

OC Legendarys/Mythics that are friends with the Askr-Trio usually dont have a battle. See Gunnthra, See Fjorm, See Eir, See Peony. The only ecxeption was Hrid Lif and Thrasir were opponents so thats that. Still a shame, i wish we would get some bonus Legendary Hero battles with reinforcements: Hrid Gunnthra Fjorm Ylgr on a map Eir Thrasir Lif on a map FGrima Lucina Chrom on a map Ryoma and Azura on a map Hector Eliwood and Lyn Marth and Tiki well you get the Idea.

well yeah but on what banner would she run though?!?

Dont know at some point ones barrack has enough Dancer/singers and Mirabilis doesnt bring much to the table other units cover mostly allready. If she were an offensiv Mythic it would have been otherwise. Mirabilis is pretty useless, she cant Infantry pulse your Team, she cant avoid B!Fjorm, because Mythics dont gain stat boosts from their blessings and her buff might be more a detriment due to Aversa. Infact a single B!Fjorm with Sudden panic can dismantle her.

oh so we getting another free dagger unit?

why are you seeing this as punishment? Sony started it with postponing their PS5 presentation and others are following suit, they are basicly taking a political stance (although i think the reason is more that now is not such a good time for PR)

i really doubt Mirabilis will be in the Red slot in the June Banner

Ever heard of PR? just look at Sony and Capcom

most likely because of all the stuff thats happening in the USA. Most game-companies have postponed stuff due to the political situation there

I seriously hope the Book 5 theme is different. This whole fairy stuff just isnt my cup of tea. Book2: good Book3: excellent (but very edgy) Book4: ok... this direction is like the total opposite of Book3 lulz ._., i dont get it

now this banner would have been somewhat decent if the blessing of the fairy was different...

I dont care what kind of Red unit it is, as long as its not a Sword user! Pls no more of those.

well since Lif lost i did the most logical thing, since i cant be bothered with this mode. I joined Lucina. Not because i want to support her, god no. But she is the only female so she prolly will wind then next 2 rounds...
