Did anyone catch the massive troll that Intelligent Systems just pulled? Heroes players have been clamoring for months for a new Xander and Camus GHB. What do they do? Add two GHB units that nobody were asking for: Robin and Clarisse.
Hey now, I'll be going for my level 40+3 5-star Clarisse this month, thank you very much.
On a (only slightly) more serious note, I am curious how long they'll keep holding off on Xander and Camus returning. At least we'll get Infernal for Robin, and a few small lines of dialogue for both I guess, but it's certainly not the most exciting month for the GHB.

Actually, in one of the interviews they mentioned they were using the DS version for SD character designs.
For Caeda specifically, it may depend on what they mean by "design." She's definitely more well known for the Wing Spear in Shadow Dragon, but she actually has a sword in her artwork, even though she can't use them in the game itself. They could have her use a sword for normal attacks to differentiate her from Hinoka and Cordelia, then switch to the Wing Spear for specials, kinda like how Robin switches to the Levin Sword for a short time.

The website itself says, directly beneath the list of rewards no less, that "further rewards will be added as tiers are met" but we haven't seen anything yet. Maybe we were faster than Nintendo and IS expected?
2 hours ago, r_n said:I imagine the use of bots probably isn't unknown by this point so I'm sure they're in no hurry.
That would explain why I thought I saw it, then. I'm sure they know about the bots (even ignoring the posts that have been made online about their creation, they can surely see that some "people" have been playing for hours at a time, which must be a bit suspicious), but there's still a few days left until it ends, so new goals are still entirely possible. They might be adjusted to account for people playing it automatically, though.
Edit: Actually, looking at the wording again, it might mean that each of the previous reward tiers that were reached would be replaced by the rewards of the current tier; so, because we hit the 10 orb mark, we won't be getting that in addition to the 2 and 5 that were already reached. Which I think everyone assumed anyway, but they put it there just to clarify, I suppose. They may still add more still, but I'm just going to expect the 10 for now.

No. They would've said something (like they did in the original Voting Gauntlet).
Ah, my bad then. I thought I had seen something about it somewhere, but 10 orbs and 5,000 feathers is still pretty nice to get.

I went the longest time just having my one Eirika, then when I was pulling for Seth, I got 5 of her. I seem to be very streaking with my luck.
Heh, funny thing is, I pulled my first Seth during Brave Heroes, one summon session before my first Eirika. Seeing him ask about Eirika and Ephraim was quite bittersweet, but I suppose he brought her with him in the end. I later got another 4-star Seth right before actually getting Brave Roy, and a 5-star in the Threaten Def banner right after getting my first Roderick, who I've also been hoping for since his first banner. I guess he's an odd good luck charm for me; I can only hope that he shows up for the Tempest Trial Mini banner as well.
-
Did they say anything about adding higher rewards if we passed the 10 orbs? We've still got a few days, so we could probably reach at least one more goal if they add any.

Eirika's available as 4*, so I would wait until you get a better nature and promote then merge her.
True, I may just wait for the new banner and pull reds on that instead. I've had the worst/weirdest luck with pulling for her, though; never got her on any banner where she was a Focus unit and never got her as a 4-star, then managed to pull my -Spd one on the Brave Heroes banner as a 5-star while going for Brave Roy. Maybe they'll be nice enough to reveal the next banner before Eirika and Ephraim's ends, but otherwise I'll try to restrain myself from spending the orbs too soon. Assuming I don't end up with no orbs after trying for Ninian, that is.

I would like to get an Ephraim who's not -Atk, but I may not have many Orbs, depending on what the next Banner is, which looks to be Tellius.
I went and just gave my MMarth the same skills I ran on Alm. I had leveled my 5* up to level 40, but never actually gave her any skills yet, since I didn't know what I wanted to do with her. If she continues to be a bonus unit in future Tempests, having a ready Falchion medic will be very nice.
I'm in a similar situation, but with a -Spd Eirika and no Ephraim at all. I'm just hoping to get Ninian without using many orbs so I can save the rest for the other upcoming banners and decide between going for Ephraim and a better Eirika, or hopefully new Tellius units. Or I guess Ninian again since she's in a BHB as well, but I hope it won't come to that.

My immediate impressions on Delthea and Conrad were pretty negative, but I grew to like them more as I played. Delthea' supports were more interesting than I had expected (at least the one with Luthier was, I barely remember the one with Clair), and Conrad because his supports were cute and his personality was likable, though I still dislike his role in the story. However, I'm really not a fan of Saber. I think they were trying to parallel Lukas and Clive's role in Alm's route, like how Boey and Mae seem to parallel Tobin and Gray, but it feels much more forced to me, and neither his personality nor his relevance feel strong enough to justify his importance. Also Alm, like others have said; he's a decent guy, but he's too decent for any growth to happen, and both his and Celica's arcs suffer for it. In fact, Celica's arc and overall character seems to suffer in general, especially around Act 4 and beyond.

I was planning on saving my orbs for the Eirika and Ephraim BHB to try for reds, but I may have to try for Ninian instead. I have Eliwood, but having him take up a character slot for my Tempest team would be difficult to work around, since I'd either have to run a second red with "Marth" as a Falchion healer, or run an actual healer, which feels like another waste of a slot. Plus I'd like a Ninian anyway, after failing to get her in the past few banners she's been in. Just in case though, I guess I'll be training up Eliwood to level 40 before it starts.
For Black Knight, I would expect him to be a GHB, but I wouldn't be terribly upset if he was on a banner instead, since I'd be okay with passing him up. Not having it happen this month seems a bit odd, though, which makes a banner appearance a bit more possible. On the other hand, I feel like Nephenee will probably be a banner unit, but getting her for free through Tempest Trial would be very nice, especially for a Slaying Lance+.

I'm currently rank 29,387 on team Ike with 346,400 points, and unranked total. I managing to be rank 100,001 in team Lyn, so I'm happy what I have now.

Cherche is in the weird spot where she doesn't really need a B skill to function.
Hit and Run and Drag Back give you general positioning utility, though it can also screw you up if you forget it's there. Cancel Affinity lets her break through Triangle Adept red units, but those aren't common in the Arena (somewhat more common in PvE modes, though). Axebreaker gives her reliable kills against axe armors that aren't running Wary Fighter. Wings of Mercy gives you teleportation shenanigans.
Special skill is definitely Bonfire. Assist is usually Reposition.
That's... actually kinda comforting to hear. I'll probably try to give her Wings of Mercy eventually, but I'm very low on units that have it while I've had more Clairs than I know what to do with, so I'll just throw Hit and Run on her for now. I also have far too many Male Robins and Adult Tikis, so I'll happily get rid of one of those for Bonfire. Speaking of, before I accidentally sacrifice a good Adult Tiki, what's an ideal boon/bane for her, and good skills to give? I've got two -Res ones, one with +Atk and the other with +Def. Also a +Spd/-HP one, but it doesn't seem like she'd benefit from more speed compared to attack or defense.
-
Got a 3-star Cherche from the new banner that I thought had a bad boon/bane, but she's actually +Atk/-HP, which I think would be better than my current 4-star +Def/-Res one. Would it be worth it to train her up and replace or merge my current one? I have a Camilla that could be Brave Axe+ fodder, so I wouldn't mind working on her if the extra attack is worth the lower bulk and slightly worse bane. I assume Death Blow would be best with the Brave Axe+, but what would be good for the rest of the skills? I got another extra Clair that could give Hit and Run, or a Laslow that could give Axebreaker, but other skills might be better, and I'm not sure what special and assist would be best.
-
Figured I'd spend the free summon plus 10 orbs in hopes of getting Ninian.
Free summon was... 3-star Jagen (+Def/-Res). Well, I guess I've been wanting some Fortify Cavalry fodder anyway.
Next one was a 4-star Clair (+Spd/-Res). Already have a better Clair trained up, and I'm not sure who would want Hit and Run that I haven't already given it to, so I may just send her home for a few extra feathers.
No more blue orbs, so I started another session and... still no blue orbs. One green, so maybe Hector instead?
...3-star Cherche. I thought she had a bad nature, but I just rechecked, and she's actually +Atk/-HP, which I think is better than my +Def/-Res one? I have a 5-star Camilla that could donate a Brave Axe+, so maybe this wasn't as much of a loss as I thought. Other than having 10 less orbs for the BHB banner, anyway.

Oh, are we all sharing our Corrins? Might as well grab mine:
She's still in progress as you can see, she still needs to inherit TA3 and Nowi's breath, and I may switch Swordbreaker for Quick Riposte eventually, but she- wait, are we sharing Summer Corrins?
Oh.
I... I don't have that Corrin.
...
And this Corrin was definitely not promoted out of spite for not getting Summer Corrin, not at all. Totally not. -

@DefaultBeep and @EricaofRenais, I also sent you guys requests since I just finished some spring cleaning on my list.
It's too early to tell how these matches are going to end. Spending all my flags while I've got the free time to. Somehow I've managed to stay in the top 5k overall and for team Ike.
Accepted! I'm incredibly jealous of your Amelia; the only one I got is +HP/-Def, so I'm excited to try out a better version.
I'm pretty indifferent about this round, partly because of the randomness and partly because I'm alright with both characters, so I'm just spending the flags I never got to use on team Lyn and hoping for a decent rank.

I just sent it since I have been busy today I just saw your post, my user name is Rain. I guess I should put my id again for anyone on team Ike that wants Innes it is, 6148672165
Sent a request to you as well, I'll gladly take an Innes. If anyone else on team Ike wants a Julia, my ID is 5367543341; I still have plenty of space on my friend list open.

I don't think I'm any one's friend in Heroes here, but I realized I was apart of the "too many Ikes" problem, so I switched my lead to my 40+5 Lancebreaker Ephraim. I have a ton of decent units, so if you wanna add me an request a color, I'll see what I can do.
My ID is: 6756772388, and I'll post a picture of my Ephraim soon.
Just sent a request. Ephraim sounds good to me. I've got a 40+1 Julia up right now, but I do have other colors if they're needed.

I got a sudden burst of units I want to build over the past week, so more double SP is a blessing for me. And it looks like it'll partially overlap with the mini Tempest Trial coming up, which will make it even easier to get units ready. I hope this monthly schedule keeps being a thing, it's nice to have an idea of the month ahead for planning grinding and orb spending.

I completely forgot about the B slot. Caeda can run G Tomebreaker, but given her Speed, she might not need it unless you are facing Nino+10 or something with a decked out kit. You can also try Guard for more tankiness. I think Hit and Run is good too since it will allow Caeda to retreat back after she attacks a green mage, making it easier on her allies to Assist her away, although that skill does not improve her combat performance so it depends on your preference.
Caeda can dump her attack since most mages are squishy, although she might have trouble with Boey though, but he is not too common. Natures generally do not matter too much for Triangle Adept units since +40% offensively and defensively is pretty hard to screw up even with a bad nature.
I'm pretty low on G Tomebreaker fodder, and I doubt I'll be using Caeda much outside of flier quests and less serious Tempest Trial runs, so I'm good with keeping her able to retreat. Might switch to Guard if I get another Titania, though.
That's true, and she did just get a +7 boost to her attack from Fury and Ruby Sword+ (plus a few more whenever I upgrade her to 5-star), so it might not be as bad as I expected. I have a while before I commit to upgrading her anyway, thanks to my growing list of units that need it more than she does, so I'll still have time to maybe get another one. Thanks for the help!

A slot is preferably Distant Def to completely wall green mages, but Fury or Resistance +3 (going dirt cheap is fine for Arena Assault) is good too. You can also use Distant Counter and counter kill the green mage on the same turn, but that might be too expensive and Caeda is a little less tanky without some boost to her Resistance.
I still have yet to pull a single Hector or Celica, so those are definitely out for me. I think I actually inherited Fury 3 on her a while ago, and just removed it while leveling her up again after a merge, so I could reequip that for now. I also have Hit and Run as her B skill because of a spare Clair I didn't want, but I'm not sure if that's best for her or not. She's also unfortunately not +Atk/-Def (+HP instead), which I assume would be preferred, considering her... subpar base attack.

Olivia can use it, but she can just use the regular one to take out Hector too. Palla can can use it too like Olivia, but she has an even easier time with Hector. Caeda and Eliwood can use it and be a green mage tank.
6 minutes ago, mampfoid said:Ruby+ made my 4* Olivia actually kill (green) units, gem-weapons or TA are popular choices for dancers/singers.
Hm, alright. I might go for Olivia, but she already inherited a regular one a few weeks ago that has been working so far. I have been trying to find a way to build Caeda for a while; what would be some good skills for her if I went that route?

Are there any units that could benefit from a Ruby Sword+ that don't have it naturally? I got a 5-star Seth that I don't ever plan to use, and I'd rather give away the 5-star exclusive weapon if it would actually help, since Fortress Def is still fully available at 4-star.
-
Ever since he was added, Seth seems to be some kind of good omen for me that precedes or directly follows good pulls. Never pulled reds on his banner, but my second session for the Brave banner brought me my first 4-star Seth, and the very next session gave me my first Eirika, who was even a 5-star. A few sessions later, and I got another Seth right after pulling Brave Roy. And now, after backing out of my free pull session (3-star Shanna), I got a 5-star Seth after finally getting a Roderick with a great boon/bane, plus some decent fodder in the form of Odin and Hawkeye. Makes me feel a bit bad for not really caring about him...

I had forgotten about that, but I agree. After playing Gaiden, I thought Mathilda would be the easiest character to update and make interesting, but they wasted that potential and made her seem almost as bland as she was in the original game. The DLC maps might help to make her more interesting, but I haven't played it myself, and I really don't think DLC should be the only place for a character to be interesting anyway.
