And as Anna always say "Know a quick way to make a profit? Then let's hear it!" You can probably sell it on eBay for well over $200. I bought Fates Special Edition for $250 something. I could, especially if I wait another week. But I also kinda needed that money for a bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this Steady/Warding Breath 1 but in C skill form?... when did this become a thing?! Who benefits from this, someone enlighten me, I've just pulled literal gold as a pitybreaker and I have no idea what to do with it. Well... the adjacent requirement takes it down a bit, but it's still probably the best spur you could ever ask for. I know you like throwing Matthew into the crowd to see what happens, but Infantry Breath could make up for the loss of Flashing Blade with his new kit. The adjacent condition is not always easy to fulfill, but easy is boring anyway. ;- ) 55 minutes ago, Landmaster said: I meant to post this earlier but I was able to make Rank 1 in this Season of Rokkr Sieges~ Hoarding all your Axes may be overkill but I like to be safe~ Congrats!

Vince777 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) So, leading to Three Houses's release, Forging Bonds has convinced me that Edelgard is sort of a distant and cold stuck-up asshole with conquest ambitions and that Claude is a cowardly and underhanded little fuck. So while I thought I'd sympathize with Dimitri and an "holy kingdom" the least of all three, it looks like I'll be picking the blue team now.

Zeo Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) @Kaden Gave him a look. Interesting unit to be sure. I'm not sure I'd pull for him, but he looks pretty fun. I have a personal bias towards Ranulf and Kaden seems more fitting for how I play, supertanks and all. @Landmaster The extensive scope and potential use for the skill only makes it harder to decide who exactly should benefit. I doubt it'll be Matt but Nah might just show up in some form of clear just so I can test it out. @mampfoid It probably won't go to anyone in Matt's squad for 2 reasons. First is Nah actually fills one of the very few empty roles in my barracks: a powerful red dragon. The only one I have is a +ATK/-RES Y!Tiki which is cool and all but she's nothing compared to pretty much every red dragon that's been released since her except maybe Garon. Bonus Doubler, Infantry Breath and a weapon like that isn't something I can fodder off so easily, especially when she's got a boon in DEF giving her freaking 41 which is just nonsense. The second is that Infantry Breath doesn't really work because the hardest maps generally split the team up to an extent. It would only realistically be on either Inigo or Genny who only around 40-50% of the time stay adjacent to Matt during EP (less in the case of Genny) which is unreliable. A better skill would be Infantry Rush but even that wouldn't be that reliable because Matt's ATK even with all the debuffs to the enemy is simply not that great. The perfect C skill for Inigo or Genny to have would be Infantry Flash which would be the perfect replacement for Flashing Blade and with such a skill I could maybe even go back to running Aether for him. Come to think of it... guess who's coming back on the up and coming Mythic banner? Infantry Flash's sole owner currently: Legendary Marth. Guess I'll be pulling both green and red at the end of the month. Hopefully the Mythic isn't anything I'd be interested in. Now let me scrape up those 30-40 something orbs lingering around that I haven't acquired yet. Edited July 23, 2019 by Zeo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsilas Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 @Zeo Oooh congrats on the Nah, she fills a nice niche. Her C skill looks interesting to play with, could have nice synergy with Morgan's double Spur and buffs for Nah (although double red in one place might be risky) Yarne is quite fun to play with, I free pulled one in the Awakening kids banner tickets although he is -Atk. Still, fast Galeforces is pretty fun to use, and Atk/Spd Solo pretty much makes up for the bane. I just use him with base kit so far, and Escape Route + GF is kind of handy in Aether Raids even though most people would give him Desperation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaden Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 21 hours ago, XRay said: I totally forgot about Yarne. He only has slightly less damage output compared to Ares on Enemy Phase, but more damage output on Player Phase, and he is less dependent on Velouria for setup since he can initiate without fear of being doubled. Yarne exists I guess which is something he wants with him and his fear or extinction. People did talk about Yarne during his and Brady, Jelly, and Nah's introduction, but I think the others might have won the spotlight more. Well, Jelly and Nah. Jelly was people wondering if she were to demote as she would introduce Bold Fighter and Barrier Lance would mean people would not need to rely on Berkut and grails to get a Res+7 when attacked lance while Nah is your trainee infantry dragon with Oracle Breath that prevents follow-up if she has a field buff, had Bonus Doubler introducing it to the regular summoning pool, and introduced Infantry Breath as a new skill. Yarne didn't have anything new as all the skills he had were in the game and fallen F!Corrin introduced Atk/Spd Solo to the regular summoning pool in the previous new heroes banner. That being said, he's pretty damn good and it's fun having him teleport around with his default Escape Route. 16 hours ago, Zeo said: @Kaden Gave him a look. Interesting unit to be sure.

The funny thing is that all three are green and they're all good for their own reasons with Kaden and Ranulf being good support units and Yarne being a good offensive unit.

Weapons with multiple effects have been given refines or been introduced with a refine, but usually one of the effects is underwhelming, or the unit in question was in dire need of redemption. But never has a stat-up effect been on a refined weapon yet. Plus the weapons are still somewhat decent even now. Then again, the CYL1 weapons are beginning to show some forms of age, plus we're running out of underwhelming Year 1 units to give Prfs and refines... in fact, here is all of the non-seasonal Year 1 units who have not received a new Prf or refine since the beginning of the Weapon Refinery, up to the Gen 1 Genealogy banner, which is the most recent banner that had characters on it who later received a refine. For reference, the next banner after that with new heroes on it was the first Farfetched Heroes banner.

Humanoid Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 It's a little petty but when developers show favouritism like that it makes me dislike the characters just a little bit more.

Lucina was outdated pretty fast. Maybe giving her lance "Effective Against Dragons", and change her drive effect from "Atk/Spd+3 to melee allies within two spaces" to Atk/Spd+4 to all aliies within two spaces" can make her a better unit. Brave Roy is a Galeforce unit, and he has Heavy Blade on his weapon. Maybe Atk/Def Solo as refinement? Or even Lull Atk/Def, so he can inflict Atk/Def-3 on foe and nullify their Atk and Def buffs. Lyn has Dull ranged, so I don't know what she can have... Maybe change the Dull Ranged to Dull Everything? Her secondary effect can be... hm... I don't know.

Effective against dragons (and/or beasts) would be very nice. Since mine became a Galeforce unit, in-built Flashing Blade would be great as well. I never liked her buff-bot role, I wouldn't have problems if her refine would change her role completely. 40 minutes ago, Diovani Bressan said: Brave Roy is a Galeforce unit, and he has Heavy Blade on his weapon.

If they added a Desperation effect to his weapon, that would be perfect. He could run a breaker, double Desperation (to cancel out Hardy Bearing in AR), Brash Assault or both Desperation and ER/WoM. Another Idea would be Alm's and Celica's Brave-Lion effect, would fit his title. 43 minutes ago, Diovani Bressan said: Lyn has Dull ranged, so I don't know what she can have...

Considering the developers consider 2 Atk to be roughly equivalent to 3 Spd (as can be seen in refine effects and Legendary Hero stat bonuses) and -1 Atk on a Brave weapon is effectively the same as -2 Atk on any other weapon, I'd say that Argent Bow effectively still has only one base effect since the stat modifications balance each other out. 6 hours ago, Xenomata said: For another, there's nothing saying that the weapon has +3 Spd and -5 Spd. It's simply -2 Spd, so it may not be considered as having a Stat Up effect, at least by Developer standards. It's quite clear that developers consider the Brave weapon effect to come standard with -5 Spd and not any other value. All other weapons with the Brave effect follow the exact same template stats unless the Brave effect is conditional or the weapon is the Argent Bow, which is explained above.

Anacybele Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The notification saying that CYL is coming in August doesn't mean that the early August banner is CYL. It could mean that CYL is coming late August too. 😕 I still think Three Houses is going to be the early August one to keep building on the hype of the game coming out. It's the logical solution, probably business wise too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverserpent Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hah HA! I FINALLY BEAT ABYSSAL ROBIN!!! Her Abyssal map has been staring mr in the face for months now since I cleared all the others. I finally figured it out down to one move and all it took was giving Naesala Pass and having him act as blue mage bait. Reyson passively healed him so he could still activate Pass when I needed him to. And giving NY!Hríd Spd/Res 1 seal so he could survive Robin by 1 hp, her Ignis would hit for 40. My conscience is now clear at seeing that green check mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case created by Hilda "When Urvans effect (-80%) kicks in he can Counter regardles of Distance or something like that", the condition will be met only in consecutive attacks situations (Brave type weapons, like Brave Bow, Dire Thunder, Whitewings weapons...). Against a ranged foe that doesn't have a brave type weapon, the DC effect would not trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
