not sure how viable Sudden panic is on him, but at least on odd turns you are guaranteed to proc a debuff on the enemy assuming you meet the HP conditions. So the only way for a supertank to tank without any debuffs is on even turns, which means a supertank need at least one unit adjecent to him to avoid debuffs, so higher probability to snipe. This could synergize well with either Bramimond or Thrasir. Tough i woudl say more with Bramimond, because he can have a Dark Mythic sidekick additionaly that can cover half the screen with debuffs (Yune). Iago Bramimond + Yune together could make it near impossible to dodge debuffs.

Actually Thrasir could be threatening with an ready to go AoE too, at least for 1 opponent, because it automaticly ticks of all her conditions.

That is the whole point of a complete cav line, leave little room and snipe a unit off, but as i mentioned a Blade Tome will do little to nothing against an Aversa/Sudden Panic/Panic Manor Team, while Eirika will do more in that case. I also never stated that a Cav Line cant be countered. I am not even sure why you brought up SPD Tanks Alm etc, when the simple fact is that Eirikas refine will do better when up against an Aversa/Panic Team in a pure Cav line then a Blade Tome.

to be honest you cant fix underwhelming units (note underwhelming not decent) with the stat boost. Regular Leo will still be underwhelming even with the stat boost, not because of his stat distribution (although his attack could use some boosting up), but because his personal weapon and refine dont even make the best out of his min-max stat distribution. If Brynhildr was: At start of combat if units SPD & ATK < foes SPD & ATK: inflicts -6Atk & RES on foe during combat and unit makes a guaranteed follow up attack while enemy can not make a follow up attack. Leo would be decent even without the stat boost Gen 1 units can only be good if they have: A and excellent offensiv stat spread or B a decent-godly refined weapon. Just look at Brave Ike. He was literally trash and niche before his refine.

You are missing the point of a cav line. And @Vicious Salmentioned specific a cav line.

The problem with Blade tomes in AR is Panic manor or Aversa so Eirika has definitly a niche in a Def Cav-Line that wants to avoid their units being crippled by Panic. A Blade Tome would be utterly useless in that setup against panic, while Eirika can still hurt you.

why not? The amount of Gen1 heroes wasnt equally distributed among the games, so its only plausible that some games repeat.

I dont think GHB are out of the field. But I think Xander will be rather an Embla redesign then Muspell. And I dont think IS is primary only targeting units with bad Art soon. Lyns Art was in my eyes good, but she prolly got picked due to popularity. Azuras Art was fine too and was picked due to popularity. I think they analized their data: They are going by how many peopel have invested in which Gen 1 unit most likely. In the beginning before Gen 3 i have seen quite a few invested Azuras Lyns. I have seen even in recent time +10 Eliwoods Cordelias (alot) and some Sophias. I also have seen quite a few +10 Xanders. I think everything is possible, but they are going by their bingo list: most invested/popular unit check, needs a redesign check. But the primary check is the one that matters most to IS, because they want to get those subs in.

no. how about trying to deal/built a Team that doesnt need a Dancer for those easy maps? There is a reason this game has Tanky units with shitty PP stats/utility: They are meant to take PP units into safety by using reposition or swap. Again its only Infernal maps, again IS wants you to level units you usually dont use and use a strategic approach to a map, rather then just go braindead with 3 Dancers. Its a strategy game after all...

Nah i think Hector and Ninian are out for a while. I would guess (not from an Art point of view) Xander Camus Celica Alm, maybe Sanaki?

So which Gen 1 5 Star exclusiv unit will be the next Resplendend hero with a Muspell theme?

due to the Resplendend stat buff he is more tanky then his Brave son while sporting the same amount of offensiv power. I believe he is the first melee Cav that can reach 170 BST with Dragon flowers, unmerged that is. I would invest in him, but the fact i have allready like 4 +10 Red Cavs makes it kinda meh for me 😞 The moment The Reinhardt gets a Resplended Attire everyone will sub or purchase him.

I got no skills for Elincia because i rather see Micaiah, grown up Elise or Sakura, Byleth as a Legendary staff user.

@SatsumaFSoysoyIf they dont release regular Veronica and Bruno at the end of Book 4 i am lost...

Distant Foil could be great on Sigurd. Actually thats the only unit where that skill would somewhat make sense, because it synergizes with his B-Skill and Weapon to some degree. Or maybe on a fancy fun build Aegis/Shield Pulse build on a slow high Def unit with Deflect Magic Sacred Seal, Lukas for example, but you are basicly butchering the units limited offensiv power allready... or Edelgard

There are 3 Legendary Heroes left to be introduced: Earth Res Fire Spd and Pair up Wind And 6 Mythic Heroes. We should be done by the end of the Year. Coincidence? Or will we see another mode by then. I do believe that Legendary Heroes will be done after 3 more and we will see some different form of Special Hero variants. There are only a handful prominent Lords missing: Xander, Micaiah, Corrin (and 3 Houses, not sure how you could even implement Sigurd). What are your thoughts?

sooo Iagos weapon:

It has to be Green Xander. We havent gotten any Green Legendary pair up unit. We got 2 Reds 2 Blues 2 Colorless no green yet. And i mean if Fates diesnt get a pair up legendary lol?

Not sure what the point of Leila and Lilith in same Team is. Lilith can warp in from any point of the map to her support partner and Leila swaps places with her support partner if he is within 2 ranges. So a support between those 2 would be moot and actually a detriment because you are limiting Liliths movement. You cant have more then one support partner so something like double corrins + Leila + Lilith wont work either. If anything Lilith is a fantastic support partner for a cav galeforce unit or cav ranged unit due to the amount of mobility you gain

I think they will give Gaius a more Support like Refine. Maybe a 3 range Healing AoE effect with buffs on the side or so, otherwise almost every offensive Dagger role is taken. I mean he hasnt non existent bulk and low attack, the only thing going for him is his Spd, which is midling nowadays with all the powercreep and his moderate HP. Felicia: Adaptiv Damage Jakob: Deals massive damage when near a damaged unit and when he initiates Kagero: Raw Damage and the ability to survive the first counter hit Saizo: works around debuffs Mathew: works around debuffs too but in a different Blade-Tome esque way Jaffar: AoE Chip damage master The only thing i can see that would work is a refine based around his SPD Maybe he gets a Ruse Atk/SPD special refine to go with his Rally SPD

doesnt matter what a Legendary Camilla would wear as a weapon. The fact that she would have a Legendary alt would throw the entire fanbase into uproar. And it would be a banner i would refuse to spend anything on just to spite Camilla as a Legendary.

Almost noone uses Dragons anymore in AR. I rarely see some in Light/Dark season, but barely any, because the Defensiv fields are field with Dragon effectiveness or Heavens rend etc.

Actually she can not, a +10 Leila will beat a +10 Ylgr anyway, just by the mear fact that Leila has 15 BST more then Ylgr. a +SPD +10 Leila has 1 Speed over a +10 +10DF Ylgr yeah... Of course the passives matter, but you get the point

I dont think Special Heroes will run in Legendary/Mythic banners anymore as seen lately, they will be absent and run in their seasonal legendary-esque banners. In that regard for April i think Red is set Blue: Naga, Brave Eliwood, Camus Green: Celica, legendary Xander, Nagi Colorless: Silque and some olde Colorless rerun May will introduce Hel prolly
