Yeah Its just me personally it kind of bugs me on what little info they have given us overall... Personally I would love it to be similar to FE4.. but it feels FE 4 mixed with tellius a bit...But yeah it makes a ton of sense to push the game hard in the next month or two considering it comes out July 26th. Also apparently some redditor has "leaked" story details but lets be honest... its something to take with a grain of salt.

So out of curiosity the release date is currently late july correct? If they do something similar to SMM2's marketing... they will likely give us a big direct in June after SMM2's release. (The direct came a little over a month before SMM2's release) also they will be likely posting more info soon since if its not a direct it likely will be at E3... but that might get crowded up by other releases such as Pokémon (which promises to be out at the end of this year) Animal Crossing (same as pokemon) and new releases. I don't know I just have a feeling to trust my gut and say were gonna get a lot more new information soon..

I actually thought that too... also I meant Sofia not Sophia... To me Sofia looks like she can fit too... cause it looks like to me that the person on the right is wearing some sort of armor... At least this isn't nearly as hard a innes last year (who used a dang flag in his prortrait) Edit- I don't see Genny's hair ribbon... the closest thing I see to being the one she wears on her left side is fully obscured by the outline of a marshmallow...

Personally I saw it at first and went "Oh look its Sofia and Soliel getting alts" Course it could be SoV… but you have to remember a lot of chars have that same hairstyle as Genny... its not unique to her or anything... If its SOV I would guess Genny and Tatiana/Faye... as I can see the one on the right is a dancer... Course sometimes with these summer ones they do two units who aren't from the same game next to each other... so it could be a mix and match? (Aka 2 Echoes alts, 2 Fates alts) as they like to do a pair of units from two games for seasonals… (except lately it seems to contradict that imo) Edit- meant Sofia not Sophia... god names can be confusing sometimes... like Sonia and Sonya

Excellent work my man Although I had to laugh a little when I saw the Curve shot and you accidently writing down "Fire emblem heroes" for when it first appeared (though its hyperlink is to the right one, which is Echoes but I chuckled a little) anyways I like all the theories and stuff... I think the story will be effected based on who you choose, with the other chars (I.e the other two groups) joining you later in your quest. Also some of these names are interesting... I guess they figured they'd give us a break with a whole crapload of norse and Nordic names... instead giving us names such as Ferdinand

Sorry this took so long, I had to gather my thoughts on Watchog. Watchog is more or less decent, and that's only because of one thing, its access to Super fang and Hypnosis. Watchog is average at best in all stats, with 60 hp, 85 attack, 69 defense, 60 spa, 60 special d, and 77 speed puts it at middling in every stat. I mean the only good thing it gets is that it can more than likely live through some (or most) unboosted attacks from non fighting types, and any pokemon who doesn't use a strong fighting move. This averageness in its stats and combat is what urks me. However it can learn a variety of attacks such as Crunch at level 16, and super fang at level 21 (22 if you decide to evolve Patrat at level 20 instead of waiting just one level, but its not a big difference) However the most defining thing is its ability to put pokemon to sleep with hypnosis (at level 18) confuse them (level 20) and take half health away (level 20) This can make it a stronger threat, especially since confusion in this gen has a higher chance (in gen 1-6 Confusion had a 50% chance to make your opponent hit themselves, in the latest gen its 33%). This all seems well and good but heres the downside, Watchog is more of a suicide lead and not taken as anything strong. I mean you have to rely on a 60% chance with hypnosis hitting to get sleep off, and even with super fang every battle its in is tedious and dull. The biggest use he might have is weakening a tough pokemon down (such as lets say the dragon gyms Haxorus) to 50% making it easier for others to defeat the mon but still... Anyways for the first gym hes a hard sell as Lillipup would probably give him a run for his money, but he could possibly tank the monkeys hits decently. For Lenora it should be close to evolving and becoming a real threat for the midgame. The midgame is where it shines the best, with trainers such as Burgh (who it can tank most hits, but has trouble with dwebble) and Elesa (who it can take neutral damage from her mons, but attack hard in return) is where its best. Starting with Clay though Watchog becomes much weaker, and by the time of the dragon gym, Watchog will more than likely be too weak to do anything besides super fang. I didn't even mention yet it cant even hit ghosts with superfang as it doesn't have access to forsight. due to its problems combat wise in the second half of the game Id say Watchog is a 5/10 for it being strong in the early game, but falling flatter and flatter the more the game goes on.

Yeah the first gym is intentially set up to beat you so you would be FORCED to get the Monkey... by the by im going to avoid the first gym mentions when we get to the monkeys too, as they were created to beat the first gym.... However for Patrat, Lillipup and Purrloin I will mention the first gym... (Especially Lillpup who actually can beat the gym easily) Also I did forget swords dance, but yeah it learns it only in time for the final two matches (if you grind) and as for Megahorn I did forget about it, however the stuff for Xscizzor applies to megahorn, except its stronger at base, but has a chance to miss. Anyways Patrat will be later today

I agree horribly with this point... which is pretty ironic considering a gen later Serperior became incredibly overpowered while the other two sit in the PU tier (Samu) and RU tier (Emboar) and that's probally changed a bit still (with emboar dropping to NU I think) So its ironic Serperior is the weakest of them this gen, then next gen he becomes very powerful.. Also I play competitive so yeah... that's also why I keep mentioning bases. Anyways time for the one I will have the most trouble being unbiased on... Samurott. Samurott is the usual "bulky water type" starter we are used to seeing. Samurott has good defensive bases (90 hp, 85 defense, 70 special defense) while also having good attack and special attack stats, at 100 attack and 108 special attack. Also it has 70 base speed Alright so its ability to outspeed the slow gen 7 and the starters of gen 7 aside, Samurott is incredibly strong and resilient. Upon evolving into Dewott, Oshawott learns perhaps the most valuable stab move it could ever have... Razor shell. I mean Game freak gave this Pokémon a 75 base stab water move WITH the ability to lower the opponents defense by one stage. This is incredibly helpful in gym and important battles, as If you do enough damage to hurt with Razor shell, and you opponent heals next turn, if the defense drops you could possibly kill them. As for TM variation, it gets usefull moves that can help early, such as Rock smash... Normally I would also mention dig... but its not exactly usefull when you have Zebstrika (who outspeeds) as your only victim for it, as Emolga is immune, and Joltik it does immune damage... and Eelektross has levitate so yeah... However when you arrive in Mistralion you get your best choices yet. See in Mistralion you obtain the usefull Xscizzor and Aerial Ace tms. These two Tms help cover Bug, Grass, psychic and dark... normally I pick Xscizzor over Aerial ace as Samurott has two other great points in moveslots. It gets access to 4 hms meaning you can use it as an HM Slave with Xscizzor as your last choice, and three of the Hms are great moves for it to know (surf, Waterfall, and Strength). Oh and I nearly forgot to say it gets Blizzard... like all other water starters, making it usefull against dragon and flying. Alright so for Gyms and important trainers, Samurott does extremely well against Clay, Brycen (because it can eat all moves that the ice type mons try to hurt it with, and can use revenge to kill said ice types). He does average against Lenora, and Burgh (except against his Leavanny) as well as Skyla and the dragon leader (through Blizzard). There is only one gym he truly falls flat in and that is Elesa's gym. As for E4, he does neutrally against all four members, except for some of their pokemon (like Krookodile or Chandelure). Lastly there is N and Ghestis. N has him easily beating Archeops, but in whole he does neutrally well against every pokemon for both N and Ghestis, minus N's legendary, and Ghestis's Eelektross and Hydreigon. In all Samurott is an extremely solid choice, who if caught can literally fill a role of being an HM slave, or a dueler who can use his moveslots to try and duel other types (like blizzard for dragon, or Xscizzor for Grass/dark/psychic) In all he is a solid choice for most of the game, and can only has one gym where he is truly weak in. In all Samurott is the one of the best water types for this game, the other "best" water type I will save for a post sooner or later (Hint hint, lets make some sweet music together :P) but yeah I would have to say 9.5/10 for his ability to remain so neutral for the rest of the game... and to be given such a powerful stab so early In the game. Samurott is truly the grey area specialist of this game....

Yes I see your point, also you forgot to mention that Larvesta evolves super late (level 59) Also you forgot Scraggy, But he doesn't add much to the point, as he is relatively weak.... although at the Elite four he really shines as he can effortlessly beat 3/4 E4 members (especially since Caitlyn and Shauntal don't have focus blast on any pokemon) Anyways I see your point, I'll give him an 10, as he is the best starter and overall the best Fire pokemon/Fighting type. Maybe I shouldn't write these at 3am.

Figured Id do another early morning post cause I hate myself... just like how the community hates this pokemon Its the one, the only! BLAZIKEN! This pokemon is the worse piece of trash I have ever seen, like look at this stupid design by Gamefreak! Ok joke about Blaziken aside, Emboar is incredibly good. Emboar can be seen with a similar stat spread as the last two fire starters before it. Emboar is similar to Blaziken, as Emboar has a high attack stat of 123. It also has a serviceable Special stat that is only slightly lower, just like Blaziken (although Blaziken has only a 10 point difference in attack/SPA while Emboar's SPA is 23 points lower than its attack.) This can make it a good special attacker, along with being a strong physical pokemon. Emboar has a high hp of 110, but lower defenses than both Blaziken and infernape, probally to balance how Emboar has more HP and attack than both of them, as Emboar has 65 in both defenses, and 65 in its speed. The Tepig line gets access to three types of physical moves this being Fire, Fighting, and Rock (with Rollout). These three on their own are actually very useful, as Tepig is the only starter who can easily rush in and beat up Lenora.... that is if it doesn't get put to sleep by Watchog…. Emboar has good matchups against Lenora, Burgh, and Brycen. Also it has a great matchup against of nearly all of Grimsley's pokemon… except for Krookodile, unless you used flame charge then yeah He sweeps Grimsley. He also can perform decently against Shantaul. Where Emboar shines though is in the final two battles. In the Final battle against N he has a good matchup with 4 pokemon, Klinklang, Zoroark, Carracosta (Who luckily doesn't carry Solid Rock, meaning fighting type moves deal the full damage instead of 3/4th... but it does have sturdy) and Vanilluxe. ALSO if your playing Pokémon White version, It has a good matchup against Reshiram as Headsmash or any of the other rock moves would cause insane damage to Reshiram. Against Ghestis he is good against Boufallant, Bisharp, and Hydreigon. while also being able to neutrally take out Eelektross and Cofagrigus. However Emboar has bad matchups against Elesa, Skyla, and Clay. Normally Dray/Iris would go here except the fighting type stab Emboar gets... and that neither Iris or Dray have a flying or ground type move. Skyla and Clay are self explanatory, however Elesa is more simpler, its the rag tag duo of Emolga.. who I actually found a trick to kill easily (Ive never beat Elesa "easily" in BW.... course I never used a certain zebra till my latest playthrough...) Emboar learns some good moves, which includes a varied moveset of rock moves, such as Rock slide, and Rock tomb. Fighting moves such as Brick break, low sweep and Hammer Arm (Through heart scale) and a plethora of fire moves, who like Serperior sadly misses out on his strongest move, which is Flare blitz, until after the postgame. However it should be noted that Emboar barely gets Head smash in time for N... although I don't recommend head smash due to it being more.... risky TMs is where Emboar truly shines though. With TMs Emboar gets access to some good moves that can help it counter ground and Rock types further. The tms it can get naturally range from niche to useful, with options to cover his special attack stat such as Scald (Where Emboar is one of two Pokémon to this day who can learn this move, and are fire type... with the other being Volcanion) Solarbeam, Focus blast (or Focus miss/F bomb to you competitive people) and also learns Bulldoze and Wild Charge. However those tms either take time to get (such as Wild Charge where its in Victini I mean Victory road) or requires backtracking/heading into sub areas to get (such as Rockslide from Mistralion cave, Focus blast from Wellspring cave, and Solarbeam in the Pinwheel forest). Anyways I would give Emboar a very strong 9. This is because it doesn't get any good fighting moves except through TM's... which means up until the 7th gym, he can only have two stab fighting moves, Arm thrust and Rock smash.... However Fire fighting has been proven (especially by Infernape) to be one of the best type combinations to use in the main game, and Emboar is no different as it can essentially punch back every brick the game attempts to through at him. 9/10 Edit As @Joe Cool has mentioned, Emboar is actually the best Fire type and is either tied for, or is the best fighting type pokemon you can obtain. Emboar does not share the same flaws as the three other main fire type pokemon (Litwick who evolves late, and is not very good until it can be Chandelure… which is after the 8th gym at the earliest...., Darumaka who has to go through 20 levels of accuracy issues, and lastly Simisear who is quite difficult, and its learnset is not nearly as diverse as Emboars. for this Im updating his score to a perfect 10/10

Should be Easy fricking peasy… especially with all the mons thrown in at the end... though I do agree... I mean I screwed up that initial list a few times, cause for somereason my laptop kept deleting 10 of the names... might be me hitting the wrong keys a few times though I know, but im talking about in general. Yes you can have 6 pokemon and yes most people (especially in gen 5 when they gave you a free lucky egg) would train 6 pokemon. My analysis is more how this pokemon does matchup wise against the tough trainers, and gyms/E4...

The first pokemon on the list is Snivy! Snivy is the first of the Starter trio to rate, and honestly it is the least usefull overall of the starter trio. Serperior can be considered very similar to Sceptile from generation 3, except slightly slower, and with less attack and SPA but slightly higher bulk than Sceptile in all three areas (HP, Defense, and Special defense). Now Snivy has some hard obstacles against it that greatly effects its score and usefulness. In this game Snivy only gets grass and normal damaging moves through level up, even worse is that it doesn't get access to the powder moves that most other Grass starters got in the previous generation, with its only status move that causes damage being Leech seed, Which Snivy doesn't get until level 20. Snivys tm moves in this generation do not do it any favors, as moves such as calm mind WOULD help... if it wasn't one of the postgame tms given by the 7 sages, in fact the three non damaging grass/normal move tms it gets are Rock smash (Which it gets at the second gym.... HOWEVER it cannot be used by Snivy until it evolves to Serperior at level 36) Aerial Ace (Which is found in Mistralion, the location of the 6th gym) and Dragon Tail (which it does not obtain till after beating the 8th gym) Snivy also does not learn many good moves, the best move it learns for a while will be Leaf Tornado, a 65bp damaging special attack move which it gets at level 16.. just one level before becoming a Servine. It also learns growth at level 13 shortly before it, which can help if you set up Sunny day to give it 2X attack and Special attack... but other than that your main option for a non grass move is going to be Strength or Slam, but in this case it gets strength earlier (as soon as you visit the house in Nimbasa that has it) and is 100% accurate for only a little less power over Slam. Lastly its strongest move will be Leaf blade (at level 32), and Giga drain at level 42. Serperior can learn Leaf storm, but it cannot be learned until level 62, which is much higher than the highest level on Ghestis's team at 55 One thing though that Snivy DOES have going for it is Coil, Coil increases Attack, Defense, and Accuracy by one stage, and is insanely usefull for Snivy as it can increase its defenses and accuracy. Unfortunatly it does not learn Coil until Servine hits level 36. Lastly is the matchups portion. In the first gym against Chili, Snivy will not do much of anything, unless you overtrain it... or can be used to faint Lillipup so that Panpour can easily beat Pansear (And be a backup incase Panpour/your mon to beat Pansear goes down). It fairs decently against Lenora, but horribly against Burgh. If Servine was in any other game it could do well against Elesa, however she carries twin Emolgas with Stab Aerial ace... and a Zebstrika with Flame charge. Servine does defeat Clay, only to lose hard against Skyla, Brycen, and Drayden/Iris. In fact the matchups in important battles such as Rival battles with Bianca and Cheren are essentially it can do neutrally well against 1/2 of Bianca's team (Musharna and Stoutland.) while also being great against Samurott…. while piss poor against Simisear. In Cherens case Serperior can only neutrally beat Liepard… and possibly Possibly Simisage… but loses hard to Unfezant and Emboar… unless you take unfezant out and coil a lot when Emboar isn't out and which can make Aerial ace do a lot of damage to Emboar… As for the Elite Four, it has a good matchup against Shauntal's Jellicent and Golurk, while only possibly having a good matchup over Marshall and his fighting types.... unless Throh spams Storm throw, which is a guaranteed critical hit and will go through your Serperiors defenses it made with Coil, It also has one singular good matchup against Grimsley's Krookodile. Finally Serperior only gets two good matchups in the final two battles, which are N's Carracosta and Ghestis's Seismitoad. All in all, Serperior is a rather lackluster option as the starter. As much as it pains me to say that. It doesn't get much coverage moves, and by the time it gets coverage moves, the usefulness that those could have brought (such as TM for Aerial ace being after Burghs gym, who's ace is 4X weak to flying) would have been usefull far earlier in the adventure. Mostly it seems Serperior will be dead weight until you need to battle Water, Ground, and Rock pokemon… and even then a Water type (such as Simipour) and an electric type (Such as Zebstrika) can easily take that niche away from Serperior. This might seem a bit low to start off the series but trust me the options will get far FAR worse (such as Karrablast and Shelmet when I get to them...) I believe Serperior gets a 6/10, only because its there for every moment of the game, even if its not usefull for most of it (nor learn any good HM moves to compensate, with it learning cut and strength)

Hello! I have been a user on this site for many many years and always have wanted to try this after seeing a friend (At the time) do something like this through Emerald and Platinum nearly 5 years ago. Essentially I will be rating The whole non postgame dex of Pokémon and how useful each one is from the start of your journey, to the end when you face off against the final "Boss". Normally that boss is the champion, but for BW it will be up to the final battle with Ghestis. The criteria I will be basing on is the viability of the Pokémon when compared to the 8 gyms, Elite four, the battle with N and lastly your final battle against team Plazma… against Ghestis! Also major points can be made from availability of the Pokémon, and also if it can make a usefull HM slave if nothing else (Such as Bibarel was in DPP where it could learn Strength, Cut, Surf and Waterfall, only missing two hms. Another factor is rarity of the Pokémon… for example in my recent playthrough of Pokémon White, I entered a rustling spot of the pinwheel forest and got Sawk, which has a low 5% appearance rate in shaking spots in only four locations of the game, but is 10% in normal non shaking grass patches in Black, as such if there is a difference in rarity I will point it out and possibly give a secondary rating based on this. There are also trade evolutions, these evolutions make the Pokémon stronger, so I will post different reviews on NFE mons who have to be traded, and fully evolved traded mons (like Gigalith) One final detractor is the Elemental Monkeys, I will do two scores, one if its your free gift mon (by picking the opposite starter of said monkey) and one if it isn't Finally Victini will not count at all, despite being first in the dex list, it is a Pokémon only found if you got the event... And I unfortunately did not The reviews will be hyperlinked here along with scores Snivy Tepig Oshawott Patrat Lillipup Purrlion Pansage Pansear Panpour Munna Pidove Blitzle Roggenrola Woobat Drilbur Audino Timburr Tympole Throh Sawk Sewaddle Venipede Cottonee Petilil Basculin Sandile Darumaka Maractus Dwebble Scraggy Trubbish Minccino Gothita Solosis Ducklett Vanillite Deerling Emolga Karrablast Foongus Frillish Alomomola Joltik Ferroseed Klink Tynamo Elgyem Litwick Axew Cubchoo Cryogonal Shelmet Stunfisk Mienfoo Druddigon Golett Pawniard Bouffalant Rufflet Vullaby Heatmor Durant Deino Larvesta Cobalion Virizion Terrakion Tornadus Thunderus Zekrom Reshiram

Dammit I’m late! me personally before watching Sages video I think the left one has a good shot of being Linde, Miciah, and Azura... while the right I completely thought was Ophelia.... (the hairpin and short hair... I dunno..) now hearing your thoughts I say this... in in the last shadows they put the two units that were related (i.e from same game and bro/sis) next to each other. Then they picked a mother character and child character from Awakening. Here it might be The same deal... but if not then I think it’s Linde/ a random SD character and Camilla/Ophelia (I hope still but not likely) and perhaps a child character.. the most popular fates children not in the game at all are Ophelia and Nina... It was obvious Camilla would get in.. she got snubbed by her siblings last year... plus with art of her already made it made it easy to put into heroes..

Honestly so true... of course they haven't done a bit of sending heroes home for feathers... they've done SI but not forcing people out

Now I get Laguz/Taguels/Kitsunes/Wolfsengers are wanted picks to be in heroes... I highly doubt it for many reasons... so lets start.. 1. they would need to figure out how to make Beast units work... Sure it doesn't sound right... but these aren't dragons... they don't use "Breath" skills.. they would need to figure out how to get them to be usuable by using a certain type... Laguz are even tougher as they don't transform back and forth like Taguels and the other units do... Which means they would have to add a gauge system... or keep them fully transformed at all times.... 2. Weaknesses- the one thing that also works against them is they would need to update EVERY FIRE, THUNDER and WIND Spell for the laguz… and keep the others out of it (As fire doesn't hurt Wolfsengers/etc) Now for Dragons they can just make them dragon "Type" and hawks they can make "Flying" units... I guess beast units would be Calvary? This is as a note because Wolfsengers and Taguels are weak to Beast killers (which in Fates effects horses too) Now I think they can put in White/Black/Red dragons in the game... but that's only what... Ena, Dhegensea, Kurth, Nasir, and Gareth.... so 5... maybe 6 units? (because Rajijon) Dragon laguz is probally least likely... Beast laguz is the most likely as there is a good 15 units that are beast laguz.. (or more?) with Bird laguz being second... The main problem is Laguz and beast units are SUPER obscure... only 30 to 40 units of the few thousand Fire emblem characters (That's counting playable/Unplayable/NPC/story characters) I don't think they would add a new type for just such a niche group... its a headache to implement them and to create them as a whole! theres also the likeliness people would actually BUY said units (Remember only two laguz were top 10... Ranulf and TIbarn…) Honestly I get why people are upset over alts and want "New" things like Laguz units... but I think your just out their preaching to the empty stadium... Theres a reason Genealogy, Thracia, Radiant Dawn, and Path of radiance have been avoided a lot... Genealogy isn't brought up as much in the modern era (Compared to Shadow dragon and its remakes... FE 7 is beloved, FE 6 is beloved... etc.) Thracia was one of the worst selling fire emblem titles... and Path of radiance/ Radiant Dawn didn't sell like hotcakes either... It makes sense for them to lure people in with the popular crowd... aka the familiar faces for newcomers (Awakening/Fates/SOV crew...) and faces for veterans who probally started with the GBA series (Which a lot of people probally did after Marth and Roy were in smash drawing peoples attention so yeah...) Shadow dragon is there as its the companies beginning in the series as a whole.... For them to avoid beast units makes sense... like 100% sense... yet I know no one will really care and just pester them while shouting "WE DONT WANT ALTS WE WANT NEW UNITS" The fact is.. IS is probally running out of units they can easily profit from... that's probally why we get updates every month now which feature a lot more options.. and certain units getting your attention for their weapon (or new weapon) being able to get refined... its they have a character they think they can get more profit from so they add something new to make the character more desirable... Anyways this is was my thoughts.... for a long while after I heard how much people wanted Ranulf and Tibarn…

For Book 3... Honestly its story mode in a gacha game... no one really cares ._. Now with that out of the way... Loki just being an ass (A sexy ass) is very funny... but it seems she might be either one of two things... the "Ephidel" or the "Gharnef" of this game... Ephidel is whats considered as an "archetype" is essentially someone who works for the "Gharnef" of the game and creates minor nuiances and plot points in the game (With Ephidel basically tricking Darin and creating a good... 3rd of the plot? half of the chapters?) So she might be working under someone else besides Surtr… or she is the Gharnef and is using Surtr like Gharnef did to well... a lot of people (Hardin, Michalis, Grust's king, and Jiol) Anyways people (Most noteable Sages who pointed it out) that Yglr (Yglir? idk norse mythos is tough as balls...) is actually Loki in disguise... mainly because she knew the summoners name... despite not meeting the summoner before... Of course Im not sure if Book 2 has ended yet... but I feel Book 3 might bring back Veronica and Bruno into the fray... as something is up as we haven't seen Bruno since chapter 12... and Veronica since Book 2 chapter 2... Now for Book 3 they will probally sprinkle hints in through the next few paralogues and Tempest trials.. (similar to how they did it in Book 1... hell that's where we learned Loki's name...)

Very true, Faye was debuted in Heroes... Ironically as a unit she can class change into (maybe to keep people from thinking you can have female archers? Idk) Also to go off the smash stuff technically Ryoma and Xander were debuted in smash too... as trophies~ but all those characters were initially revealed long ago... Roy is much more different... as I don't know how many people were in the know in japan about Binding blade... or if Roy was the lord... that might be something interesting to look up :P Also Corrin is different from Roy as she debuted in Fates first technically (Fates came out in japan before she was released, but came out in America/everywhere else after she was in Smash) I feel like they might wait until they show us the beginning prf weapons (like Rapier stuff etc.) and maybe give those kind of weapons to us... then have Legendary hero units with their "Final" weapons... that or just give the S rank weapon of their kind to the lord (for example would be Basilikos to Raven, Audhulma to Joshua... etc) that way it only spoils the final weapons.... but yeah its obvious we will probally get them a few days or so before (or after) Japanese release as a way to hype up the game (And remind people the game came/is coming out)

I feel if the Avatar is the teacher... it almost feels like a "Mark" role...that or something like "Anna" from PoR/RD where she essentially explained things to you (In a similar vein to the "Tatics" room of Advanced Wars Day of ruin... minus the jokes and actually teaches you how to do it (instead of implying)

My god.. IS... they're learning...

On the topic of Ayra... I thought she was perhaps the best red sword unit now... or tied with Mia (due to her Resolute blade and Wo Dao++ and having similar statlines) Back to firesweep+ I personally don't use them but they could be incredibly useful on a bait team that has a bulky armor like Hector or Arden, having them take a hit, and such.. but I feel firesweep is often over hyped... when I look up builds that use the lance online it would be for units like Tana, Cordelia, etc. so I'm guessing they believe firesweep is perfect for units that fear bonus damage or something similar... which I can understand to a degree.... Honestly I would use the Firesweep Bow out of them all because its more useful and you can have better blockers (like Armors) take the check and wall before your hit.. Otherwise you might need a good swap/Repo/dance unit nearby to get the Firesweep unit out of the way.

Took a last try on latest banner (Mia I’m sorry..) I at least got Dorcas and Leo within my first pulls (F2P sucks lol) I’m sitting at 12 orbs going into the TT... I have two 40% bonus units and one 20% (Dorcas, Bike and Blyn) So I’m fairly stacked... when book 2 comes out I will get a lot of orbs... considering the TT will get it’s own log in bonus... The new heroes log in bonus stops.. and the New book log in starts the 28th.. (giving you a few orbs before the maps related to book 2) basically if if I save now it expecting to get somewhere between 130 ish orbs in time for this banner... which I plan on focusing on Red (Missed Ayra.. and My Celica is less than optimal.. my Ike is attack plus defense minus like my Bike...) Green (no downsides like Red where I can pull Hector, and the Deirdre/Camilla spring I missed) and Colorless (Blyn is handy to help my summoner supported freebie... and Cordelia means I get a great 2ndary bow user) Blue is a tease... Caeda is a good B tome user... I suppose? But Xander is the full tease... Fjorm copies would be nice I suppose... so basically you’d want to do it like this.. Red/Green, Then colorless then blue... because for Red/Green you have no bad focus units... While Colorless has one bad egg (Genny is more meh.. but could be a good user to Passover wrathful staff) and Blue (Two bad eggs... but copies to feed Fjorm.. which might never happen again..)

I like how everyone is bitching about Fjorm wearing little clothing for living in the Ice Kingdom.... YOU DO REALIZE FLORA AND FELICIA DO THE SAME THING RIGHT??? Those two wear thin maid outfits... they will not stay warm there.. Plus I want to point out she has Ice based powers (shown in trailer and in her special Ice mirror) meaning Fjorm has similar abilities compared to the two meaning she could be immune (or highly resistant) to the cold. Anyways personally I feel like i’ll like or hate the characters after I’ve heard them speak and such... i do agree with one post where it seems Sharena and Loki are polar opposites... which might be the reference as to why the two are fighting in the trailer... My biggest question is what happened to Anna and Bruno... I feel something might happen to them in the intro to book 2... when the chapter will be posted (in what I assume will be the 27th)

Umm... Arvis gave Sigurd a Silver sword yes... but that's because Sigurd's father, Byron, was THE current wielder and user of Tyfing, and gave Tying to Sigurd with his dying breath. In fact at that point in the game... Arvis acutally gives Sigurd and UPGRADE because Sigurd originally only had a Steel sword and Iron lance (unless you sold one or two and gave them to a different unit) and the silver sword is much stronger than both weapons mentioned. and also Arvis only reluctantly gave the silver weapon to Sigurd.... or mainly because he was told to because he was an aide to the king, and was essentially a messenger. Now they may or may not have had their weapons during the barbeque... is completely unknown... because the children gets all weapons from their parents... perhaps they stored their weapons away due to the fact that they were attending what they thought was a "Royal Ceremony" that would exonerate them of the supposed "treason" charges. Arvis's weapon Valflame will grant him attack + 3 (or so) and I believe he might get a skill that is a reverse of Sigurds where he takes 50% less damage from the first close range melee attack (Sword, Axe, lance). and that is what I believe...
