Since QR is a seal, I've of them could equip both. 13 minutes ago, Nanima said: Just looking at the royals, I expect Leo, Azura and Hinoka to be dropping for sure. Ryouma and Elise might also be considered, since none of their skills are that exclusive and sought after. Takumi does have a chance too though, since CC is in far less demand than DC. But we'll have to wait and see. Ryoma got a DC sword, I don't see him demoted soon. A Takumi demotion would be cool though, also Hinoka.

What skill do you mean? QR? If they have null follow-up, the B-slot is occupied. Or CC? It's still 5* exclusive (apart from the free 4* Takumi copy). /Edit: Correction: CC would cost 20k feathers after Takumis demotion, which would be cool. Btw: I don't promote to give QR3, in most cases QR2 is enough. Edited November 23, 2018 by mampfoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean. they give us Xander and Camus for free (basically) and we have to feather them up, so I don't get why Ryoma couldn't be demoted for the same reasons. :) (this is why i think the best way to solve the Seasonal issue - is have like 3-4 star versions of the 5* units. replace them with say 1/2 of the current ones (for that banner). then that way if you want a Winter Tharja - poof, you can get a 5* or you can get a 3* and spend the feathers etc. it still cost you orbs :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no summonable unit at 4* with DC yet. After Xander and Camus there was no free unit with DC either. It's still considered a premium skill. I don't think 3*/4* seasonals will happen. Their whole purpose is to make players spend more orbs, therefore they are very limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Shogi Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Apparently the game thinks I lack units to deal with magic/dragons. A good number of 5 star units that I've pulled recently have been +Res/-[Atk|Spd]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC isn't nearly as coveted as it used to be, not only that, but OG Ike, who Ryoma in particular is in direct competition with, is made largely irrelevant by his Legendary Counterpart who is free to everyone. Not only that, neither Ryoma nor Ike have any valuable skills for SI that aren't otherwise easily attainable. Being honest, there's no real reason for them not to demote barring skill refines to reinvent them and increase their usefulness. As they are they're utterly outdated units without premium SI. Lyn Luke Ike Ryoma Lucina Gray Eldigan Karel Saber Not a single one of these reds deserves to be *5 at this point in the game. An argument can be made for Saber after his refine and maybe Gray because of Sword Valor, but it's honestly not that coveted of a skill since not only so many people have it but Blessings already increase SP gain and they're handed out like candy. As far as everyone else, Lucina is already free in the form of M!Marth and every other unit on the list has been completely and utterly powercreeped. Lyn being the worst case of all. Even Luke has Panic Ploy which you have to sacrifice Garon for (when you could give him DD3 which is an equally valuable skill) or spend grails. Lyn has an outdated statline, no skills for SI and has been powercreeped by nearly every offensive 2nd gen sword unit since Ayra's debut. There might not be a single unit in the entire game less deserving of a *5 spot than her. She is completely and utterly obsolete, and that's after her refine.

Zeo Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 @daisy jane She's quite literally my favorite character in the entire Fire Emblem universe, and the one unit above all I'd like to +10 regardless of her statline. Doesn't make me blind to the facts. Functionally, she's horrible. That may be an exaggeration, but realistically, Desperation weapons were already introduced back during one of the banners this summer. Which means eventually, there will be a sword variant of it. Then all you'll need to do is refine it and slap it on a unit with a better statline and it's literally a better Lyn. Built in Brash Assault doesn't mean anything when you just have enough speed to double everyone naturally anyway. Even if that weapon never sees the light of day, there are player phase units that don't have to get into the desperation range in order to perform, unlike Lyn, and are still better than her when she gets there. It's pretty sad. I don't think she's salvageable. She can merely become decent if you can slap Wrath on her. @Troykv I know it's biased and I'm probably the only one in the world that wants a 6th Lyn, but honestly? Release a sword Lyn with a better statline and give her the Mani Katti. Then demote the current Lyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough the one i would consider the strongest in that pool is Eldigan and Karel We all know the problem with Eldigan - both of his batshit weapon and batshit successor is alvailable as a 4* for whatever reason whereas the moment one makes argument against Karel, a bunch of Red sword position become questionable.

DehNutCase Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Okay, this week's Tactics Drill has a flatout misleading tip. The solution I found involved Erika doing all of 0 draw backs. (Also, it's a bit embarrassing but the only reason it took me so long to clear was that I forgot Innes could counter-kill people, since he has a 2 range bow. Haha.)
