TheWill Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I'm assuming those four are going to be the featured focus units for the upcoming new banner, right? I'll probably save some orbs and pull on it a bit for Ephraim or Eirika. I bet Ephraim will be one of the best, if not the best lance user (assuming slow power creep + the fact he's popular), but I can't imagine Deidre will be too strong. Not sure about Eirika/Seliph, lots of sword users competing right now. I also want a few characters like Joshua (he'll probably be another 5* base though), Cormag, Lakesis, Ayraand a lot more come out too. Edit: Oh, it's Julia not Deidre, oops. I've never made it to Gen 2, or rather I stopped just before that. I think she'll have the same problems, however.

As for the artwork it is beautiful! I know that much; I've seen a quick walkthrough of Genealogy of the Holy War so I know the basics. What I meant was that I thought Sigurd was much more iconic and popular, but that's sort of the part I don't know much about. I do think Seliph is a tad uninteresting on the eyes here. While I usually feel like less is more for Fire Emblem designs in general, Seliph is just...too blue.

Eliwood is mounted from the word do as well, and the trio all get horses in their promotions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway we can help you? You probably know this, but just in case... - You get more points the more stats (total) your team has, so being level 40 gives you most points. Merged units also give you more points. - Use atleast one 'Bonus Character' from the arena if you have them. - Don't let anyone die. Each death subtracts your total points earned by about 50 or so.

Sire Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Eirika and Ephraim are looking good! If they end up being the next Focus, I'm sure they will end up being my new obsession for a while (instead of Lyn, Takumi, and Lucina). A part of me will be surprised if they do give the twins mounts (they gained horses upon promotion in Sacred Stones), but given the number of "foot-heavy" Lords in Fire Emblem games, I guess I shouldn't be. Now, just to see how close or how far away I was regarding their weapons and skill set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll have to finish the story to get higher strates so I can level up my guys, they're all around lvl 25-30. I'll try to keep them my characters alive then, usually one of them dies because of Takumi (I blame him). Do we really get more points if we have several Bonus characters ? I thought that the bonus is given or not, but I heard that more bonus characters brought more points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think so too, someone actually posted the rates on another site, but I see a lot of people commenting that it's not true and that you actually only need one Bonus Character.

Apparently there was no change (it´s hard to look at this because of the variables of the fight, character death and etc) but i´m almost sure you only need one to get the bonus.

Galactaray Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I presume we'll get the next part of the story and new units at around the 16th of Feb as that's when the current banner ends. They've also stated that there'll be update every 2 weeks to that makes the most sense. Art work looks great. Hype~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skids Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The artwork looks great for Seliph, Julia, Eirika, and Ephraim. So odds are these may be the new focus 5 stars when they switch them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILikeKirbys Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Wow, Seliph looks great! Feel like I've seen those colors on one of Marth's Smash 4 alt colors, though. Julia looks kinda like Sophia, but still good. The Magvel lords look good too, and I agree that they'll most likely be horse units because that was their promotion in Sacred Stones. Not sure if Seliph will be tho. Depends on how they'll differentiate him from Sigurd (who I remember from reading a Let's Play was always mounted, while Seliph started off on foot and gained a horse when he promoted into Sigurd's starting class), if it'll just be different Skills (plausible, I think) or if Seliph will be infantry while Sigurd will have his horse, on top of having different Skills. So, are we gonna see Thracia characters if Jugdral's part of the next focus? Or will they be put in with Gaiden characters during the inevitable Gaiden focus when we get closer to Echoes's release?

Seliph even could dismount in Genealogy, the only unit to be able to do so. Yeah, I'd think it will be pretty sure to expect him being on foot.

Raven Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I simply hope that the new set will not feature too many characters that are in the current 2 sets. But I'm not getting my hopes up. And I hope Ephraim's on a horse and not just a regular foot soldier like everyone else.

Because I remember the maps in Genealogy being huge, and horses would be really good on maps that big, andI remember dismounted units having to use swords instead of lances in Thracia (never played, but I read a Let's Play of it) but Seliph already used swords, so was there any reason to use it instead of just staying mounted? 5 minutes ago, Raven said: And I hope Ephraim's on a horse and not just a regular foot soldier like everyone else.

Othin Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Also, the way they handled it in Awakening was to make Sigurd a Paladin and Seliph a Swordmaster. Based on other characters like the FE7 Lords, they seem to be following the same routes they took with Awakening here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, honestly. What it was is buggy and prone to leave him permanently greyed out. Project Naga patch might have fixed that, though.

Magical Glace Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 If it helps regarding Seliph's class, Awakening Seliph is by default a Swordmaster, presumably because he was raised in Isaac. Similarly, Eirika loses her horse in Awakening and is a Myrmidon/Swordmaster as well, aside from the Bride DLC. Though she was basically a mounted Swordmaster before anyway, unlike Seliph.

Azz Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Not gonna lie, not a big fan of Emphraim and Eirkia's art. Maybe it is just me, but they look off. Seliph and Julia, on the other hand, look gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
