Wow, Nintendo has been pretty bad about keeping DLC for their games a secret as of late. As for the content itself, there is a lot of interesting content here. Playable Jeritza in certain routes huh...I assume that Black Eagles route is one of them which is fine since I haven't even played that route yet so I might just use Jeritza on that path. I wonder if he will be able to access his 'unique' class or if he will only be limited to the same classes everyone else uses. I am already calling that two of his proficiencies will be lances and riding for obvious reasons. And Anna, I was wondering if they were going to make her a DLC character. I was really hoping they would since surely they would do more with her since they bothered to bring her voice actor in to do a few lines plus she also has one of the missing crests on her clothes. I wonder what her proficiences will be? Past playable Annas had good magic growths but never really use magic attack so maybe this one will be good with reason since we haven't had a magic wielding Anna yet? I'm kind of concerned if Anna is going to have support conversations since it doesn't list new support conversations under paid DLC. Is it going to be a situation like Fates where data for the support conversations with her will be included in the free update but you must buy the DLC in order to access them the game itself? It would nice to see her have support conversation because Anna actually had good support conversations in Warriors and it would be nice seeing her interact with characters like Ashe and Ignatz. Plus if she doesn't have support conversations it will be hard for people to consider using Anna since she won't be able to take advantage of the hit and avoid boosts from support bonuses. And we can interact with the animals, cool. Meanwhile I could care less about the Maid/Butler/Sauna thing since it sounds like the same unnecessary fluff Fates had. As for DLC wave 4 the thing I am most interested in is the new classes. I really hope one of them is a master class that is good with swords since I am kind of tired of seeing Blyeth in the Enlightened One class. Maybe Dread Fighter since that always seems to be a DLC option and really like that class. Hoping for a flying magic class as well like Dark Falcon or Malig Knight even if it does end up breaking the game harder than Wyvern Lord did. As for the other two classes as long as it is not something silly like Bride than I would be fine. Maybe something like Halbedier added to advanced class and some other brand new class. So yeah, can't wait for Wave 3 to come out even if it is just for Anna. Hopefully like Wave 2, Wave 3 will be out in November instead of waiting until the end of December.

After thinking about it I decided to add Medeus to the list. While the idea for my potential Mythic Heroes list was intended for characters likely to the get the Light or Astra element for this month since I already mentioned characters not likely for this month (Seiros, Nemesis) I decided to add Medeus to the list. Also decided to add Fomortiis as well even though he is also just as unlikely for this month.

Used three tickets and spent 12 orbs on green orbs and she is already here... Well that was fast! I thought my orb stock would have to suffer through much more but I guess Naga decided to bless my summoning luck today. Nature is +Atk/-Res so not the most ideal nature since she is meant to fight mages with AoE specials but its fine. While I would really like to jump back into the banner and try to get Phina, Sirius and more merges for Nagi I think I'm done with the banner since I would really like to save as many orbs as possible for the Farfetched banner. I'll get Phina and Sirius some other time. And with that my green haired dragons from Archanea team is complete featuring A!Tiki, L!Tiki, FH!Tiki and now Nagi.

Don't most Fire Emblem characters take personalities traits or base their appearances on characters from older games? It's pretty much happens in any long running series and why Fire Emblem has so many archetypes characters.

As said above Eirika and Hrid came in consecutive months and even a few months ago we had Eliwood in June and Sothis the next month at the end of July. So at least for red they are willing to release the same color twice.

Would Ashera also be a tome unit? Also, what kind of movement type would she be? I'll add her to the list. I kind of skipped over Tellius and Jugdral since I haven't played those games so I wasn't sure who from those games would be considered a Mythic Hero.

Figured I would take a crack at making an expectation list for this month's Mythic Hero Banner since I think Johann doesn't even play Heroes anymore. I know the new heroes are coming out tomorrow but I figured I would go ahead and start a thread to discuss and predict what we might see at the end of this month's Mythic banner. Legendaries/Mythics Red: L!Eirika, L!Eliwood, Hrid Blue: L!Ephraim Green: Yune Colorless: Eir Red is already full with three sword cavalry units so there won't be any seasonal or regular Heroes added this time nor will the new Mythic be red. Seasonals V!Soren- Next blue seasonal in line. I believe he is very likely to show up. S!Marisa- I don't think they have ever put two seasonals of the same color on a Legendary banner but she is the next blue seasonal in line after Soren. S!Veronica- Next green seasonal in line. I think it is very likely for her to show up either this month or next month. P!Genny- Next colorless seasonal in line. Not sure about her chances since I don't know if they will jump down to the Picnic seasonals just yet. Normal Heroes FH!Berkut- Next blue 2019 New Hero in line but I am not sure about his chances. B!Hector- If FH!Berkut isn't picked and the new Mythic isn't blue I think Hector has a good chance to show up. Ranulf- New green 2019 New Hero in line. I think he will show up if the new Mythic isn't green. B!Ephriam- Hasn't shown up in a Legendary/Mythic banner for quite some time. If Ranulf isn't picked and the new Mythic isn't green they might bring Ephraim in. FH!Corrin- Next colorless 2019 New Hero along with Tiki. I feel like if one of the two corrupt dragons show up on the Mythic banner I think it will be Corrin. FH!Tiki- Next colorless 2019 New Hero along with Corrin in line. I think Tiki is less likely since she was on the Hero Fest banner. B!Veronica- If none of the Fallen Dragons are pick I could see them running Veronica again since colorless Brave Heroes are rerun the most often on Legendary/Mythic banners. New Mythic Hero Prediction/Potential Candidates Can't be red since that color is already full but blue, green and colorless are all good potential options. Since the last Mythic Hero (Sothis) had the Dark Blessing I think this month will have a Hero carrying the Light or Astra blessing on them. Gotoh- Kind of hard to tell if he qualifies as a Mythic Hero but I could see it happen considering his backstory. I see him being blue and wielding Starlight. Would fit in to go along with the other characters from Archanea being released this month especially since Nagi and Bantu are among them. I see him having the Astra element. Mila- Is going to happen eventually since Duma has been in for quite some time. As for being a unit she could probably be anything...Light or Astra element; Infantry, Armored or Flying and any breath color (except red). Athos- Again like Gotoh I can't really tell if IS would consider him a Mythic Hero. He had Forblaze and Aureola at the end of FE7 but if he was picked for this month he would probably have Aureola and be blue with a Light element. Anankos- Maybe as an Astra Hero. Not sure about his chances this month. Seiros? and Nemesis?- Not sure if they would qualify as Mythic Heroes since I haven't finished all the routes in Three Houses yet (please don't spoil me anything about them either). Probably not likely anyways since I don't think they would do two Mythics in a row from the same game and from what I do know about them they wield swords so that is probably enough to not consider them this month. Ashera- Could be a blue tome unit to complement Yune's weapon type. Since Yune is coming back this month Ashera could be picked so they are on the same banner like how last month had Tiki, Naga and Julia all together. Medeus- Unlikely to happen since he isn't likely to be one of the expected elements (Light, Astra) for this month. Fomortiis- Also unlikely to happen since he isn't likely to be Light or Astra element. My Prediction Red: L!Eirika, L!Eliwood, Hrid Blue: L!Ephraim, V!Soren, New Mythic Hero Green: Yune, S!Veronica, Ranulf Colorless: Eir, B!Veronica, FH!Corrin Any hopes, predictions or anything else I might have missed. Overall I am probably skipping the banner I am not really interested in any units that might show up or in any of the units already known besides Eirika and Eliwood but I am not spending orbs on one color.

Nyna was mentioned in the last Lost Lore event yet she is nowhere to be seen in the upcoming batch of Archanea units so who knows.

Teams I am sending out this time are Eliwood and S!Fiora, V!Eliwood and B!Ninian and the last team is Brave Eliwood and Brave...Hector.

Yes yes, it's been two years since the last banner with characters from Archanea. Personally I would have made a topic for the new banner but the recaptcha was screwing with me and wouldn't let me. Apparently I am not a human. As for the banner I don't really like the 3:1 female to male ratio but I like Phina and Nagi and they are tempting me so hard fight to spend orbs for them but if Farfetched is next and Anna is on it then...Other than I would have preferred to see Nyna here instead of Norne but I guess they didn't want color overlap with Sirius who is also kind of tempting for me. I least the good thing about Norne is that she looks like the obvious demote and hopefully she bring Reposition into the colorless pool to make it somewhat slightly less bad. Astram is coming for free in the next GHB. Hopefully he bring Mercurius with him to complete the Regalias of Archanea along with some good fodder skills. Overall I liked what I saw. I like that Archanea got attention for once and I will probably have to wait two more years before I see another one. I really would like Phina, Nagi and Sirius but I think I will just spend my free tickets on green and hope for Nagi. The rest I can try for later.

I mean, of course Blyeth would be using their sword for the majority of their attacks. But I would imagine down special would be a counter attack based on Time Pulse (wouldn't be surprised if it was ripped from Shulk's special counter) and their final smash would probably be Blyeth ordering a battalion to attack the enemy. Even gauntlets could be used for one attack, like a charging side special that works similar to Ike's side special.

I think Blyeth would be chosen as the rep for Three Houses despite the Smash Bros fandom having a phobia of swords. If this was base roster I could see both Blyeth and Edelgard being picked like Robin and Lucina but for DLC I believe Blyeth will win out because Sakurai tends to pick the character that you the player have control of most of the time. Besides, there are plenty of unique ways you could make Blyeth different from the other Fire Emblem characters with his whip sword, gauntlets, battalions and time pulse abilities and you know Sakurai will try to incorporate as many of Three Houses' game mechanics into whoever got picked.

Farfetched banner won't be coming until late October/early November. The character 'leaked' by the google play achievements icons is coming out on the New Heroes banner in eleven days. Considering people are assuming it is Nagi (or a Tiki alt) it is likely we are getting an banner based on Archanea.

Yeah, I was talking about CYL alts.

I honestly expect the Three Houses Lords to be in top 5 for both genders. Edelgard will easily take the number 1 spot for women's division and I can see either Dimitri or Claude winning men's side with the other one fighting Marth for second place. Second place for women will probably be a fight between Eirika, Robin, Anna, Corrin, Azura and maybe Loki though I think Eirika will have the advantage due to being the only GBA lord without a CYL alt. I guess it just depends on where the Tellius, Elibe and Camilla fans go and how many people jump on the voting for their favorites from the newest game. But CYL4 is still quite far away and opinions can still change between now and then.

Outside of Fire Emblem I like... Super Mario Bros Legend of Zelda Final Fantasy Ace Attorney Persona Megaman (X/Zero/Battle Newtork) Trails series (Sky and Cold Steel) Castlevania Shovel Knight The Messenger

On one hand I would like to see first party characters added in the new wave of DLC characters. On the other hand, there aren't really any big name Nintendo owned characters for them to add at this point unless they start pulling from recent entries like Three Houses, Pokemon Sword and Shield and I hate to say it Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Sakurai's comment of pulling more worlds together also makes it sound like it's mostly going to be more third party characters. Personally, I don't mind who gets added since nothing forces me to pay for them if I don't like who gets picked but I voted a mix of first and third party because can't see all the DLC characters being third party. At the very least I can see it being eighty percent third party and twenty percent first party for overall DLC.

I was thinking that my free summon on the new dancer banner might present a green orb and maybe give me the new Reinhardt for free but the game didn't even give me the illusion of hope and just presented one blue and four colorless orbs my way. Why? Not even a red orb for potential Dancer Ishtar. Got a three star Nanna and might as well forget about the banner if it is going to throw nothing but colorless orbs at me.

I have seen more online support and fan demand for Phoenix Wright to be put in Smash than any other Capcom property. Not as loud as Ridley, K Rool, Geno or Banjo but it's there. On the online fan polls I have seen (Reddit/Smashboard/Tumblr) Wright has always ranked higher than other Capcom characters as to who they want to see in Smash. And Sakurai tends to go for fan demand instead of series that sold the most so...Also in terms of third parties in general, he is basically behind Sora, Geno and Rayman as the most wanted third party character that isn't playable in Smash. Plus in a way, like with Dragon Quest and Banjo, Ace Attorney has a long history of being on Nintendo systems and I have seen people mistake Ace Attorney as a Nintendo property. I just think Phoenix Wright wouldn't look out of place in the Smash universe compared to Dante or anyone from Resident Evil and I can just imagine Sakurai trying to make a wacky moveset out of someone known for screaming text bubbles and pointing fingers at people. Also, the amazing Ace Attorney soundtracks that would come with him would be great. Also, at this point he is pretty much the only character outside of a Three Houses rep that I like that has a realistic shot of being playable in Smash.

Except this is a Farfetched Heroes banner, not the CYL banner. Of course the CYL banner is always a four person banner but for the first two years Farfetched Heroes has been a three unit banner. Farfetched 1 had Mia, Lute and Dorcas with Joshua being a Tempest Trial unit. Farfetched 2 was Loki, Owain and Kliff with Aversa being a GHB unit. Of course there is nothing stopping them from making Farfetched 3 a four person banner and making the TT/GHB unit a completely random unit but I don't know...that just seems unlikely to happen in my opinion.

Terry is in which means there is one more DLC character left (for the season pass anyways). I am still going to guess Phoenix Wright is going to be the next playable Capcom rep for Smash whether it is part of the season pass or one of the individual packs. I firmly believe that Ace Attorney has more of a shot getting a playable rep in Smash compared to Devil May Cry, Resident Evil or Monster Hunter.

Not sure what you mean by that. Farfetched banners has always been three units on a banner with the fourth unit being the freebie. Besides, three unit banners give you slightly better odds of getting the unit you want.

It might still be too early to talk about this but now that the hype for the newest CYL Brave Heroes is starting to quiet down I wanted to start speculating for who might be on this year's Farfetched Heroes banner since personally I always get more excited for the Farfetched Heroes than I do the CYL winners. Ignoring the upcoming dancing banner there are just two or three banners left (1 or 2 New Heroes banners and the Halloween Seasonal) before we get Farfetched Heroes. Last year Brave Redux came out late October and I expect Farfetched 3.0 will come out roughly around the same time this year too. As for potential candidates here are the top 8 characters for both genders that we could see this time around and I also included where they ranked for CYL3. Males: Bruno??? (14), Lif??? (16), Conrad (84), Nils (85), Shinon (86), Rath (90), Cormag (92), Python (100) Females: Awakening Anna (5), Louise??? (23), Thrasir (35), Jill (52), Rinea??? (56), Severa (58), Rinkah (65), Fates Anna (66) At first glance it seems like our Farfetched Heroes are going to be Awakening Anna, Bruno, Lif and Louise but honestly I don't think that is how it is going to go down. I think Lif is going to be excluded and is going to show up on a different New Heroes banner with Thrasir once Book 3 is finished (which might now even be done when Farfetched 3.0 comes out) in a similar vein to how the Book 2 OCs got their own banners last year. I also think Bruno and Louise (and Rinea) are not going to be on Farfected 3.0 since they are technically already playable in Heroes albeit as seasonal alts. Anna is the only one of these four that I believe will make the cut since like Owain she is technically from a different game than the Anna we already have plus she was a separate voting option for CYL which is what I believe IS looks for when choosing candidates for Farfetched banners. So after making those cuts here is what I believe Farfetched 3.0 will end up looking like. Banner: Awakening Anna (Sword), Jill (Axe), Conrad (Lance) TT/GHB: Nils (Dragon) Other possibilities are... Jill, Severa, Conrad, Nils (Anna is saved for a later banner, Seasonals don't count) A!Anna, Severa, Conrad, Nils (Jill is saved for a later banner, Seasonals don't count) A!Anna, Louise, Bruno, Conrad (Seasonals count) Louise, Bruno, Jill, Conrad (Anna is saved for a later banner, Seasonals count) Personally I think it would be funny if they would just skip over Jill, Severa and Rinkah and put Fates Anna in just so we get two Anna alts at once but in all honesty this looks like the best scenario since every unit on the banner will be a different color and four different games get covered (Awakening, Tellius, Echoes and Blazing Sword). Again, I think we are getting Anna, Jill, Conrad and Nils this year for Farfetched Heroes but who knows. For all we know they might pull a Loki and put Bruno/Lif/Thrasir on the banner anyways or Anna might get excluded and they put Severa on the banner instead or one of these units might show up on the Halloween Seasonal which I believe would end up making them miss out on Farfetched Heroes. What are all your wants/predictions/theories for who might be on this year's Farfetched Heroes banner?

I don't think it's Mila. While she might be this month's Mythic Hero they wouldn't use her as the Google Play achievement icon for completing the next main story maps that is coming up in a week or two. They usually have the most popular/premium unit from the New Heroes banners be used as the Google Play achievement icon which most people seem to think is going to be Tiki or Nagi. I'm wishing for Nyna as well. She is one of the few important characters from Marth's games that isn't in Heroes yet.
