Diovani Bressan Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 A new Voting Gauntlet event is coming! Which army will you support? Predictors by @DarkAlf: PREDICTOR A PREDICTOR B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercakete Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Hmmmmm.... Feels weird. Like, the theme almost doesn't quite work. If we had the Black Fang sharing a gauntlet with the Healing Hands, I think that would be more consolidated. Well, anyway, not sure whose team to pick. I'm glad Nergal's finally in the game, but enough to join his team? I didn't even manage to pull him. (Though the banner's still ongoing, I need to replenish my orb stock.) I don't care about Lumera as a character and it's weird that she has...what, 3 versions already? But her voice actor did a fantastic job. Hm. Leaning towards M!Alear, I guess?

Ice Dragon Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I've been too lazy to clean out my barracks to pull on the fallen Heroes banner, so I don't have any of them yet, so I suppose I'll start with Female Alear and figure things out later if she loses.

EricaofRenais Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I will be on Veyle's team even though I prefer her non evil version she is my favorite here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Ah yes Ursula. Mother and nemesis of Nino. Wait wait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Sonia did order Ursula to kill Nino in FE7 and Sonia (potentially, due to her map being an optional one) only ends up fighting Nino because Ursula failed. Given that Sonia thinks Nino is worthless trash, I’d say it’s entirely in Sonia’s character for her to avoid disposing of Nino personally.

It's still pretty ridiculous just how hard they want to make Ursula relevant by forcing these interactions with Nino. They kinda did this in the Khadein banner as well, where they have ~interactions~ (although I've decided now that Khadein Ursula should've just been Canas because he's Nino's uncle, doesn't have an alt, and fits the theme better).

Yeah, Ursula is definitely the pet character of some higher up at IS. The fact that she ties Alm and Sigurd in number of alts and that Seliph and Leif have one less alt than Ursula does is pure insanity. I legitimately don’t understand why Morph Ursula wasn’t saved for next May’s GHB. IS definitely threw money away by giving her a banner spot on this banner over M!Byleth or either Shez.

Ice Dragon Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 1 hour ago, Tybrosion said: Yeah, Ursula is definitely the pet character of some higher up at IS. Ursula was the second-highest-ranking non-playable character in the original popularity poll for Blazing, placing 22nd, with Lloyd being the only non-playable character ranking higher at 7th. 1 hour ago, Sunwoo said: It's still pretty ridiculous just how hard they want to make Ursula relevant by forcing these interactions with Nino. Nino, Jaffar, and Ursula are a natural set due to their involvement in the chapter Battle Before Dawn, which is easily one of the most memorable chapters in the game. Ursula getting dragged along with Nino seems pretty normal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, that's still not good enough to justify her having three alts (plus a Resplendent) in FEH. Assuming I'm looking at the same poll, Nino (1st), Eliwood (2nd), Hector (3rd), Lyn (6th) and Ninian (17th) are the only characters ahead of Ursula who match or exceed Ursula's alt total. Literally everyone else ahead of Ursula in that poll either has one alt and/or one Resplendent or no alt and no Resplendent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Emblem Fan Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I'll start this VG with Nino, and regardless of what happens I'll be staying on the Blazing Blade side of the brakcet. Priority going Nino > Jaffar > Nergal > Ursula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD In this case, it feels like Nino's the duckling from that children's book "Are You My Mother?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't thought of Canas for this alt and now I'm pissed it wasn't him, cause he's one of my favorite FE7 characters... Anyway, late to the party but I supported Jaffar on the first round (purely out of bias, I was torn between him and Nerg but chose Jaffar cause I'm spiteful that his only alt was that 2017/18 christmas alt that no one cares about). If he loses against Nergal then I'll support Nergal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dragon Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I suppose I'm joining Lumera's team next since she was nice enough to me on her banner. Veyle showed up twice while pulling for Lumera, but was considerate enough to show up in the same circle instead of pity breaking me, so I would've liked to join her team, too, but she unfortunately lost to Alear in the previous round. So if Lumera loses the next round, I guess I'll join someone not named Nergal because he's the only one I don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he loses against Nergal then I'll support Nergal. Winter Jaffar was released in 2019 and (as far as I remember) was at least respectable back then. Now though, yeah you aren't doing much with a dagger armor with this stat line: 44/35/37/31/24. Meanwhile, this is the stat line of the latest dagger GHB unit (and he's also an infantry, not an armor): 44/43/45/34/21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercakete Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Huh. Interesting. M!Alear's defeated both female members of his family (and, by extension by surpassing her, his female self) and Nergal conquered everyone on his side (and probably turned them into raw quintessence.) Now, M!Alear is trying to defend Elyos from this man coming from the Dragon's Gate, while Nergal sets his sights on acquiring the quintessence of the dragon before him (also this world's guardian.) When you look at it that way, it makes this VG a lot more epic. Fun how it turned out like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
