I'm really curious about Excalibur and Aura refines. If Excalibur will keep the flier effectiveness then it needs another effect base effect. Something like a slaying effect. As for green text additional effect? In Sacred Stones it gives a speed buff. So maybe chill spd?

Aura is a bit difficult to guess.

Excalibur, from what I can gather across it's history in Fire Emblem, is a very lightweight tome in games featuring Weapon Weight, or has a form of speed boosting, as in Sacred Stones and Fates.

One possible added skill could be the Darting Blow 2 effect that Yato pre-forge has, another could be Odd Speed Waves. We could also get Chill Spd on his weapon, for some reason. If they were lazy, they could also just give us Dark Excalibur, but with Flier effectiveness.

Aura, on the other hand, does have one trait about it that could be translated to Heroes: It is powerful Light magic, among the strongest available ignoring legendary weapons.

Well...looks like i need more refining stones...went ham on weapon upgrades and used up all my dew. Oh well, time to use those arena feathers for another Clair merge.

I hope they make the Black Knight helm available soon, I'd love to put that on my Zelgius.

I want those large mage hats in Awakening to put on my tome users.

I want actual mage users from Awakening to wear these hats.

Oh my god! Ryoma alt - and he's a flying red male! Love it :D

I honestly saw him and just thought 'infantry sword, pass' (my phone cut off the movement symbol). Then I saw his sprite and squeed :D

A bit disappointed with the other two reds. More Sigurds are always fine, I guess, but really couldn't care less for yet another Y!Tiki on my account. I was hoping for BK Chrom. Oh well - I'm happy it isn't Winter Tharja, since it means I can still happily pull for Ryoma ^.^

Will have to upgrade Merric to celebrate his refinement. Happy about the accessories, too, especially if it means we get Kris, who is the last avatar needed in the game. Interested to see what their defaults are like (other than looks). Hope Wolf comes with them, but I doubt it...

[Hawk King]

LINDE IS COMING BACK!!  She will finally join me. No more Deltheas taunting me.

The legendary banner really kinda disappoints me. Flying Ryoma just has the plain old Raijinto. And Bushido is just a worse version of Wrath that works with Ryoma's flying status.

I do need 2 more F!Grimas and 3 more Gunnthras...

And I need my first Harden, but I already have a +10 Sigurd and +10 Fjorm and knowing my luck I will keep pulling those two.

New weapon refines could be interesting.

Watch it be Nowi's Witch hat

Actually Fates Witch hat would be pretty cool.

But yes Miriel please come soon

[Nanima]

Please let there be a giant ribbon and please let me put it on all my Takumis.

So, I had 272 orbs (not pulling, waiting for B!Ike). But I needed to pull something. So I have decided to put a limit on 200 orbs as a safety stock for pulling for B!Ike when he appears.

Result: Now I have 207 orbs, a Bridelia and a spare regular Ninian xD

If I reach 300 orbs in any moment, I'll increase the safety stock limit to 250 orbs

Edit: I'm considering to build a Close Counter Daraen, but I've no idea on what skills to give him. Any ideas? Other unit I was considering as my blue merge project was Peri, however, I want to keep my team as an infantry one since if B!Ike is the one with highest HP, I want to give him Infantry Pulse.

Y!Tiki will once again be available in rather annoying ways, legendary is trash for specific pulls and I don't really feel like pulling A!Tikis on the upcoming New Power banner. Sigh, the dragon that will continue avoiding me. Maybe a sign to save orbs, considering the possibility of astounding green units on the next legendary banner. Lissa, Lyn and Myrrh, for example, would be heaven for me. So IS will obviously do something else.

I'm not sure I understand the changes to AA scores, though. 1 point per unit more for using any legendary/blessed ones of the seasons elements. So they want to force me into blessing all 28 units (more since it's all about counterpicking) to maximize my score in total? That doesn't sound tedious at all to consider these while choosing, wasting blessings, and having to deal with more score inflation. Maybe I'm missing something.

The person who translated "Breath of Fog" deserves all of the hate mail ever for so many reasons. Not only is it inconsistent with every other breath weapon (which uses the pattern "*** Breath" instead of "Breath of ***"), but it sounds really, really dumb. I'm not sure why, but "Fog Breath" sounds far more intimidating than "Breath of Fog".

 

And I see the developers are no better at designing menus than they were two decades ago. Seriously, do they even play test their menus?

The options should clearly be

• Manage teams
  • Regular team management
  • Chain mode pre-set team management
  • Rival Domains team management
• Manage units
  • Select a unit
    • Learn and equip skills
      • Tap an unlearned skill (including weapon refines) to prompt to learn it
      • Tap a learned skill to equip it
    • Equip Sacred Seals
    • Level up
    • Unlock potential
    • Equip Blessings
• Merge allies
• Skill Inheritance
• Manage Sacred Seals
• Manage supports
  • Summoner support
  • Ally support
• Send home

 

I wish they'd stop pushing Blessings on us everywhere we go. It's like they're trying to annoy every dolphin and small whale who can't afford to swap out Blessings every time the season changes. And I'm sure the big whales would love having to pull 20+ copies of a Legendary Hero with the matching element every month just to keep their supply of Blessings replenished.

I encounter some with Blarowl/CC in arena.

@MonkeyCheez3K Wait, I thought Legendary Lyn wasn't coming back until the end-of-July Legendary Banner? Though either way, next month's Green is gonna be worth saving for, because, at minimum, it's gonna have Bold Lissa. I'm hoping for either Myrrh or M!Grima with her, but maybe they'll have Deirdre instead. Any of those would be pretty neat.

Aw damn, was it July? I haven't looked into it, so you can definitely be right. I just assumed they'd swap out Gunnthra again, but that would be a bummer, still need Speed Tactics, and putting it on a legendary is so annoying. I hoped for a faster rerun of her.

Maybe it's inconsistent because they wanted it to be clear that it's a PRF.  Great Flame and Expiration don't use the 'X Breath' format either.

Everybody I talking about Tiki, and saying she is the important new reveal of the banner, I and I’m over here thinking she so the worst unit on this banner, since I remember her stats not being to good and her fodder potential being horrid

She has pretty good Attack and Defense and decent Res. She's a very good Mixed Phase unit, even if she's not as specialised as her Adult counterpart. I've been using her since launch and she's always done her part.

That argument would hold more weight if they actually cut the word "breath" from the name like the others, but they didn't. As it is, it just sounds like a crappy Chinese knock-off brand.

Her Atk is very borderline, especially when you consider how weak Lightning Breath is. Mist Breath will at least help by by having 4 more Mt than refined Lightning Breath+, but that's only relevant if its effect is actually usable.

I guess. It's never been a factor for me since mine is +Atk and runs Fury. Still I wouldn't qualify her stats as very poor. Maybe not above average, especially in this day and age, but still very decent in a unique role (since A!Tiki is full tank) and the Prf is only going to help her more.

After working on my Corrin project for a while this is the current result.

Spoiler

I did not expect him to be so bulky.

He gets pretty bulky as you merge him. I run Fury on mine instead of swift Sparrow, though. Still, he looks nice!

[Jingle Jangle]

How many merge projects you guy have? I"m working on Tharja, mCorrin, Caeda, Peri, Lilina, Reinhardt, Felicia, Athena, Effie, and Cherche. When I can't find someone, I move on the next project. I'm planning to add either Chrom or ATiki to the list when I complete Tharja. I'm a bit worried that I have little green in the list, but thing may change.

I have both Tikis and always much preferred Young.  So much more flexible in how you can build her.  She can run ploys effectively with res refine and/or res boon, her speed is workable with boon, defense is solid.  Higher BST bin than Adult Tiki as well.

 

[Xenomata]

Ugh... you all have GOOD Young Tikis... meanwhile I'm still stuck with this +Spd -Atk squirt... I'm honestly hoping I can pull her with a good nature more than I hope I can get Ryoma...
