Othin Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Yeah I don't think it's worth putting much stock in the relevance of FE5 featuring particular ability sets on weapons that were in the game's code but did not actually appear in any context outside of hacking.

Valaskjalf. Shoot, you're right. I completely forgot about him. Also that the Gáe Bolg was unused in FE5; I knew it wasn't obtainable, but I thought it could be seen on Altena at some point, for some reason. I doubt they'll base it off of that, then. Not sure what they'll do for it then, assuming Quan does make it in the banner at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A certain red-haired man from an upcoming GHB could benefit from it. I heard he likes barbecues and that he's very good at grilling things. He could always use some pineapple juice to go with the hot stuff. Edited October 11, 2017 by Lord-Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vajra Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 How many of you would be fine with Gáe Bolg having the following passives? - Grants ATK/DEF+2 and accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). - Unit takes 4 damage after combat. Spoiler Would it be too powerful? It's basically Valter's Cursed Lance, except with a stat boost to DEF instead of SPD. The stat boosts to ATK and DEF will make it similar to how Gáe Bolg functioned in its source game as it granted the wielder bonuses to Strength and Defense. For the increase to the third stat, Skill, I could not think of a better passive to reference that when translated to Heroes, so that was where the reduced Special charge came from. And finally, like the Cursed Lance, the Gáe Bolg is also known to be cursed, hence the HP reduction after combat. I know it's extremely unlikely that IS will design Gáe Bolg to be faithful to its original incarnation, given their track record with some of the other legendary weapons in FEH (i.e. Tyrfing).

I'm not a big fan of HP-draining effects, but I guess it would fit with the lore of the Gáe Bolg. The biggest problem I can see with it is, if/when Altena does get added, it would make her a lot less unique when compared to Valter. Of course, units like Minerva and Michalis outright share the same weapon, and they still end up being fairly unique just from their stats alone, but it would be odd to make Altena and Valter's weapons so similar when they have zero connection. I wouldn't say that the Gáe Bolg being faithful is that unlikely; Heroes has just been somewhat hit-or-miss in regards to the accuracy. The Falchion not only kept its effectiveness against dragons, but they also translated its use as a healing item pretty well. Likewise, Naga's passive abilities are a perfect translation of its Awakening effects, just slightly scaled down. Mystletainn's effect is a good translation of the original's skill increase and Critical skill, and Excalibur has had its effectiveness against fliers in every Archanea game, as well as Merric's preference for it. There are definitely some odd ones, but IS's track record is far from bad so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really pay much attention to leaks (largely cause I'm not on reddit so I learn about leaks on here), and plus all the text when I do check the leaks out just confuses me til headache. So I guess I missed that part. Also I really only started paying attention to leaks at the Dauntless Crimeans update.

mcsilas Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 So if the next one is Genealogy, which game should they represent next? I mean the only Lords we don't have as far as I know are Leif and Micaiah. I don't think they'll do Jugdral in a row after FE4, so I guess they could go with Micaiah, which is Tellius again (so soon after Crimeans banner though). Then maybe FE5 and Leif after Micaiah. Well, that is if they care about representing all the games before the year ends. Micaiah I can see with the Dawn Brigade, although part of me hopes she will be accompanied by other characters (Kieran? Laguz? Maybe they'll shoehorn in RD Ike somewhere?)

JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) I love how much of a bait Gae Bolg in FE4 really are. You get them for one chapter on Quan and then it was like "HOLY SHIT QUAN IS EVEN MORE AWESOME" and then its gone. In gen 2 they indirectly hypes up the return of Gae Bolg by having Leif stealing the spotlight from Seliph despite it not being his game yet When you get them back you get it on Proto Vaida, except Vaida is a good unit who destroyed what is left of the game. Altenna sucks and 70% of it is Kaga trolling her, 30% of it is FE4 being pinnacle of making sense. It kinda makes Leif monologue about not having Holy Weapon really dumb since the Holy Weapon he'd have claims into sucks really hard, and everyone would envy Leif as the only playable SAGE KING ON HORSE in gen 2 Edited October 11, 2017 by JSND Alter Dragon Boner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I kinda hope neither of FE5 or FE10 are represented next, with how recently Jugdral and Tellius have had new representation. FE6 hasn't had anyone added since Klein, and the New Mystery banner was a little while ago now, so one of those could be due for more characters (not necessarily New Mystery specifically, but Archanea in general). Maybe some of the Archanea Saga characters? Malice and Dice seem decently popular, at least relatively so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't be the best, then he had better be the absolute worst. In seriousness though, it would be perfect if he could get his Light Brand. With built-in Distant Counter, but targets a unit's Res instead of Def, to be more faithful to its original form, as well as to make him stand out from Ryoma and Ike. Not sure if that's possible with how unit types work in Heroes, but it would be cool if it happened. Or make his sword's special effect be targeting Res, and then finally bring back the Distant Counter A skill. Or make him a staff user and give him Absorb, because that's basically the Earth Sword right? Right?? LACHESIS WHY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably RD, Thracia, TMS#FE or even Cipher. RD Ike is worthy of his own, separate banner. Micaiah would probably bring in part of the Dawn Brigade with her. Probably something like this: Micaiah (tome), Sothe (dagger), Edward (sword), Nolan (axe). Laguz like Lethe and Ranulf will most likely be from PoR. As for Thracia, Leif would bring Nanna, of course. Probably Finn as well. @DefaultBeepLeif's Light Brand to target Res in FEH would be quite nice and it'd give him a niche.

That's my hope, assuming they actually do it. With how many great sword units we already have (including multiple with Distant Counter already), it would be perfect for making him desirable in his own way. I'm just not sure how doable it is in the game's engine. Can't wait for another Echoes banner to show up after Genealogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
