  1. New PVP is gloriously fun and surprisingly tolerable as far as broken builds go - looks like IS matches you up  with somebody roughly with around the "favor" number as you, to keep it somewhat even.  Won a bunch the first few rounds but I've been on a loosing streak, and yet - they don't feel ragequitty in the same way Arena does.

    Mirel might be the only awakening unit I build.  The artwork for all of the characters on this banner is really nice. : o

    I have ... zero interest in Ash but that was also the same feeling for the last few OC's, so no loss there.  Nice time to switch out a light mythic and collect story orbs for the next Tellius bannerr.

    Overall pleased!  Solid 8.5/10 for me.

    Why on earth can't the My Summoner unit use more interesting spells, like Thani or that Ice spell? I really don't want to use the Summoner gun haha.

    I think you can use non-prf spells, actually - mine's using Blarraven+, and I briefly had Stone.  I vaguely remember weapons being super limited when the feature first launched (eg the gun) but they've since broadened the variety of weapons.

    C) I initially thought there was terrain bonus in this game.- I also thought I could evade attacks.

    Technically forts do give a 20% def boost iirc.  I do wish that mountains/trees also gave some like the mainline games though.

    Giving a skill to a unit that could've been better utilized on another unit, or missing the chance to put a certain skill on a unit because you wanted to give a different skill away to another unit.

    Oh lord, my HB4 + Dive Bomb Naesala p!Tibarn Clone that was built right before his forma was announced feels this ...

     

  4. YESSSSSSSSSSS Volke my baby looks so good!!!!!!!!  Goddamn he's premium as hell, I don't even need to fodder anything to him. +10 here we come... do I dare snag one copy of him to give Lethality to Legault.....

    And free Tanith here I come bearing pegasus flight to you as a gift! 😄  Will be super nice I'll be rolling on a lot of reds soon (nin!hark, Volke) and i'll probably be picking up a bunch of Taniths with that, here's hoping.

    Man, between Volke/Tanith/Bertram, I'm eating good this banner.

    I am surprised that Marcia got the treatment she did considering she struck me as mad waifu bait potential. :v Still in, though.

     

  5. Play enough of FEH, and there'll likely be a few moments that you'll never forget of foddering off a favorite, fumble-fingering an easy AR win, pulling for something you regretted later ... describe those moments here to make us all feel better about our own mistakes ~

    I'll start with a few:

    • I didn't know defense tiles gave defense for a good 6 months. :"D
    • pulling 300+ extra orbs for Fallen Dimitri after sparking on the fallen banner when I don't even like... dimitri.. and ultimately just foddered his Odd Tempest to Jill because he was worthless for my playstyle. :')
    • speaking of wyverns with odd tempest: Once I lost so badly in Arena to a Galeforce Y!Minerva with a Tempest that singlehandedly nuked my T20~ competitive team, that I'm pretty sure it scarred me for FEH life.
    • Feathering Fiora when I was strapped for feathers (I do a lot of grail projects) before I realized how valuable Pegasus Flight was. Thankfully I got two copies of her as pitybreakers eventually - one's on Sigrun and the other will likely go on Tanith when/if she appears.
  6. Being selective about resources is absolutely key to enjoying FEH in it's dry periods.  I personally do all the modes since FEH pass makes it easy to autobattle a lot of it (during boring work meetings lol), but I don't kill myself trying to be top-tier competitive in all the things, just enough that I can braindead coast and grab 90% of the rewards.

    plus i find a lot of times it's more fun to enjoy the waves of getting fresh/favorite characters you "do" like and ride that high while they're momentarily the hot meta thing.

     That'd be pretty cool. It would be a great idea to do this (future books about the OCs going to mainline FE worlds) after the end of the main story, so we wouldnt be without new story chapters, its a better option than doing only paralogues after the end, and its a good and easy way to please the fans by making characters from others FEs have more appearences (for example, I know that some people that don't care about the original story got pissed that the TTs are now about the OCs and not about the other characters anymore, I saw some guys, in the TT+ part 5 discussion I think, saying that they used to like the TTs because they were about the characters that got less attention in the paralogues, and that this time lots of people wanted to see Shinon in the current TT but couldnt because the story is about the OCs, so if we got a new book about say, Tellius, this wouldnt be a problem anymore and FE9/10 characters would get their attention, also fans of other FE worlds woldn't be pissed because they would know that after the end of this Tellius book the game would release other books about the other worlds). And there would be a greater chance of getting obscure characters from each world to be in these new books, which is awesome.

    You did a wonderful job summarizing all the reasons that FE-worlds would be a good idea and were vaguely flitting around in my mind, thank you. 🙂

    Especially yes to the last point - as we start to get "thinner" with the options of the various casts, it feels like IS needs a more ... vivid? character-specific direction on how to highlight obscure characters, and taking nods from the various themes of the series would go a long way there. Plus you could honestly have some amazingly cool interactions with the FEH OC's that we've gotten to know and love and have *them* be foils off of mainline game characters in a similar struggle. (eg, Pelleas talking to Alphonse and/or Lif about what it means to be king and whether the ends justifies the means - and that banner could be Dawn Brigade related, idk.) 

    It is meant to be about the FE series, after all.

  8. The whole Ice & Fire series should be an encouraging sign to those who want it to continue, considering I see it as IS testing the waters of 'is it profitable to go into the deep lore of each of the characters in the books?' rather than just briefly dipping into the two-worlds-in-one-chapter pattern they've been doing.

    Judging by the Ascended Florets and the next character that's Ascended ... I'm inclined to say they're not going to stop that line of storytelling anytime soon. It'd be cool if Eir and Bruno and Veronica got the same depth.

    Honestly what I would love to see is more mainline FE worlds, next.  Have Loki or some mischief-maker stir up shit in Tellius or Folian, and have our crew have to stealthily track her down and fix things.  Would be a brain-dead way to introduce new heroes as well.

  9. As much as I'd be ecstatic for it (RIP my fucking orbs between +40 nin!hark plan and the November banner, I may actually open my wallet for the first time), I can't see two RD banners back to back unless if there was a Tellius remaster/remake announced.

    Spoiler

    However, I can't rule that out considering the leaker did say there was more Tellius content in Dec/Jan, which does kind of point to a very deliberate Tellius-push...

     

    @Fire Emblem Fan the most comprehensive information I can find on the leak on the character you're asking for is in this link, tbh.

    Think it's finally time for me to bail on Heroes. Gathering up all the rewards has turned into more of a timesink than I'm up for, without much reason to bother.

    I'm curious to see where the game will go from here, but I don't feel much need to keep playing it.

    Given your accomplishments below in your signature, you've had a hell of a run as-is.  Just curious - would there be a single character that'd bring you back temporarily?

    • FE7: playing this for long hours under the sheets with the DS when I was supposed to "be in bed" as a kiddo. :')  watching canas wreck everything with luna was always a delight in the later half.
    • FE9 (first and favorite): lotta memories with this one but one in particular - requested this game as my first to play after a hip replacement. first time I felt normal / a human there after a long, long while.
    • FE10: seeing Zihark again for the first time at the desert of death (after already being a mega-fan of his for the last three years before RD was released), and then slowly realizing that the game was so good to him, artwork, story, script and all. :')
    • 3H: while CF was my favorite overall route (I romanced Hubert), in one of the other routes on maddening - I forget which paralogue specifically (it might be Petra/Bernie's) - there was a moment where Hubert (asshole!) basically surprise-appears on the map to laugh at you and i flipped my shit the first time it happened because I knew I couldn't (and wouldn't want to) defeat him there. So amazingly in character.
  11. I'm hearing gossip on twitter about leaks of all the characters for the rest of the month ... and they guessed the ninja banner (that was just released a few minutes ago) right, which makes the rest of their guesses more likely.

    Link to screenshot in the spoiler, happy to remove this if the mods wish.

     Makes me very excited for precisely one of the characters.

    Alas, there's really no good thematic way to put Tormod, Marcia, and Stefan on the same banner.

    Slightly disagree because I can see a PoR "midgame" collection kind of like how Jill/Shinon/Gatrie/Ilyana were a PoR "earlygame" collection and were recruited about a similar time - just add Astrid to your choices as another decently-popular female for whale bait and there's a lineup that actually stands to do remarkably well if the fodder and art is there.  Shinon/Gatrie/Ilyana made a somewhat amount of sense as a "Greil Mercenaries" banner ... but Jill randomly in there is not, and much more affiliated with Daein.

    meanwhile i'm slowly expiring here because there goes a lot of common-sensed banner choices to slot in with zihark ajskhkshgj

     

  13. I've fallen out of VoH for a while due to laziness but probably going to get back in it this week with an unmerged Yuri ... on AR-D.  I chuckle every time some poor sod forgets he gets an extra space of range on his turn and he nukes 2 people with a dancer. Haven't had a string of unbroken "successes" since F!Edelgard came out.

    Folks are sleeping on Yuri.

    I could see them taking the Resplendent path, where we see characters from other games gain power from various Heroes factions through whatever handwavy reason.

    I can see that!  it'd also maybe give them an excuse to introduce more god characters (like nifi and musspel(?)) to bestow those ascended blessings, who would be yet more orb-bait.

    completely off topic: DD4 f!Lyon's been my 'delete ranged blues and colorless' button since last year; even maxed out +10 shinons and l!chroms couldn't touch him for ages. then suddenly i get an ophelia and a y!inness that KO's him within two weeks recently. @_@ powercreep with the skills is nuts.

    Honestly, I firmly preferred Korra to ATLA. Though the shift in target audience was definitely a strong part of that; my experience with ATLA was definitely held back by some of the Children's Television trappings which aren't actually a fault in the show itself.

    Agreed. Far, far better animation and the more mature characters (Lin Beifong and her whole arc being an excellent example) gave it some much-needed subtleties that "Avatar" did not.

    OP - S2 of Korra was the weakest, personally, as another animation studio took over briefly and it shows. S3, however, is my favorite, and I've found you can safety skip S2 and go straight from S1 > S3 > S4 and still hit the high beats. 

  16. Thanks for making this tutorial - very well written and probably the best writeup on these flowers that I've seen yet. I actually really appreciate IS for making these so useful for older units while not breaking the games by making these whale-able. or abuseable beyond a def/res ascended f!edelgard.

    57/58 attack/speed ascended nin!hark is a sight to behold. :D  his attack's been lagging recently so it's nice to get some punch back in it.

    tho it makes me wonder which new heroes are going to be ascended ones.  hopefully will also breathe some life into some gen1 fan-favorites that have gone stale lately.
