Or just release a an A-slot tier 4 skill that has 2-3 effects on it, one of them being a permanent slaying effect.

Katrina vs Sabrina... er i mean Thrasir vs Veronica and Askrtrio clear

low combat performance? with stuff like special/bold/vengefull? not really, of course you can counter those skills but you give up your own combat performance. Also less movement is not allways detrimental. For Defense teams in AR less movement means easier stacking of buffs, especially for Armor emblems.

What @Ice Dragonsaid about the skills. Its not only Legendary skills that need a boost but also Brave heroes or some heroes with released personal skills (Arvis, Arden) that need their exclusiv skill enhanced. I mean Brave Ikes B-Skill is basicly... useless, Dull Ranged does a better job. Arvis B-Skill is less and less justified in the B-Slot it needs a buff, Wouldnt mind if the Skil was 2 Spaces Aoe and heaed your allies for 10 HP too. Ardens Follow up Ring needs a guard effect or special acceleration effect. Sigurds B-slot skill is still okeish and niche but it definitly could use a forced on foe Desperation effect so he can run Distant Counter with it.(similar to Urvans effect but it only work on ranged units). Regnal Astra is still very good. Also when was the last time a GHB unit got a refine???

I beg you pardon its Bruno. Bunny Bruno does not count for me!

This map is gonna be a nightmare to clear with the Askrtrio and Veronica on Abyssal... The map layout clearly favours ranged unit

The release of Thrasir as a Mythic hero doesnt tell us anything at all. Yilgr wasnt released as a Legendary Hero. And I dont think that Brunos alt disqualifies him from Farfetched heroes. If Thrasir as a Mythic hero has shown us, that anything can happen if IS wants it to.

interesting choice for a Mythic

that is not true. For very offensiv Stave units like Veronica B!Fjorm B!Camilla yes, for others? Azama needs a unique staff with utility as does Wrys and other Stave units that dont reach the Offensiv potential of Fjorm Camilla etc.

I very much disagree, and I am not talking about beefed up Gravity+ Pain+ and Panic+ Staves but unique ones. Wrys could use a staff with Res+3, Sabotage Atk & Spd 2 and Dazzling for example. I am not talking about beefed up regular staves like Brave Camilla got. But you have to throw a bone to older Healers, they are falling way behind. Also setting up Dancers and Healers on the same pedestal is laughable, I use healers mostly, but every Vid you see its Dancers everywhere mostly, of course you can use both at the same time which is best i guess.

The Ladder update and especially double point update definitly made Defense alot more relaxing (Offense too). Not sure if its worth investing more into Defense Teams until to some degree. the rewards are meh compared to Offense.

What we need first and foremost is some Healer refines!!!! Azama Wrys Clarine etc. are long overdue. Seriously IS give us finally some Healer refined exclusiv weapons!!!!

Although lately i was thinking how a Lull Atk/Spd (or Res/Spd) Reinhardt would fare with Swift Sparrow 3 and Darting Blow Seal. A +10 Atk+ Reinhard would sit at 22 SPD with dire thunder. Lull Atk/spd (or Res/Spd later) bumps that up to 25 basicly, Swift sparrow 3 to 32 and Darting Blow Seal to 38... granted you loose 6 Atk from the Seal slot and A slot (Death Blow 4) but if you give him then Hone Spd 4, Reinhardt is sitting at 45 Spd (or 44 with cav buffs)... yeah nice quad time on alot of units. Just a thought i had... I mean the baiting unit needs 39 or 40 Spd at base since he ignores SPD buffs due to the Lull skill

there is no Lull Atk/Res yet. Only Lull Atk/Def and Atk/Spd. Otherwise every Reinhardt would rejoice

One does not simply kill FallenCorrin or FallenTiki. Lucky for me I dont face them often and if i do i can handle them. Dragons are getting out of Hand. I have said that since over one year. The only thing keeping them in check is effectiv damage (Dragon or Armor). I fear for the next BST increase.

Considering last years release towards the end of October this is prolly a farfetched heroes banner with hopefully!!! Bruno!

I am still hoping for the day when we finally get a mythic/legendary Staff user... God just finally give us Athos!!!

My Azama +10 just got Lull Attack/Spd, Threaten Atk/Spd 3 on top of his Fortress Res/Def, Witchy Wand and his Fortress Res seal. He is ready to annoy and troll the shit out of others with his 48 Def and 43 Res (unbuffed and with no blessing bonus) lulz

I have a feeling that Book 3 will last longer then Book 2

they are adressing the complaints from last year. We had like what? 6 Dragon units or so? What the Alternativ overinflated sword infantries or Lance Flyers? I am not a fan of dragons (still think they are too strong with adaptiv damage) But it makes more sense to release units people want, and Dragons seem to be very welcome. We could use though some Axe flyers cavs and infantry units. Also Lance infantry units. Maybe some regular Armor Tome users

I would advice to stockpile Grails for the moment. Maybe there are some refines on the way to make older units more apealing, but we havent gotten any major impactfull Grail unit since Aversa. Dont get me wrong the other Grail units are ok, but nothing outstanding. I personally +10 Arvis, but thats because i wanted that. At this moment i dont see any reason to invest into a Grail unit outside of Aversa or a favourite Character you wanted. Naesala at best (like others have mentioned). I have a feeling we are getting some GHB unit weapon refines soon (Valter Arvis etc.) I would wait for that one. Valter has the potential to become a good Galeforce unit that can also proc Wing of Mercy for your other Teammates, depending on the refine.

Those exclusiv weapons are very tame compared to the ones we got tecently and the refined we got recently. Its like the banner is from last year.

Sadly there arent alot of "new" toys to play with. The character pool is so oversaturated, that pulling anything is almost pointless unless: 1. its your favourite character 2. The unit runs a crazy good exclusiv weapon/skill 3. they have a desirable fodder skill you want for another unit. Since March i havent pulled much on regular/special banners unless i wanted a skill for Skill inheritance. I even skiped now the entire Dancer banner so far. I may pull for a Berkut just for the Duell skill to pass down to Brave Lucina. I just see no point, because almost every role can be filled by the allready existing cast. And frankly... The Brave refine banner is currently the best banner because their refines added those crazy good exclusiv weapons. Increased BST is not enough for me to bait me to pull. In that regard i rather have less populated banners but with good/niche/interesting skill characters, instead of throwaway your typical char that can be replaced by an allready existing character. For exampled i have only male Byleth as 3 houses representativ in my barracks. the one Dimitri i got was foddered of and i didnt care much for the rest because... welp their skills exclusiv weapons just werent interesting enough or allready existed in some form and i have that form in my barracks.

Every competent AR Defense Team has Hardy Bearing on their Barracks in some form.

I only used my initial circle pull. I really dont see why i should get more Dancers. albeit they can also be used as offensiv units, but i dont care much at the moment. We will see them in Legendary Banners anyway.
