Not that the Standard Lord Hair Colour is a thing that happens in RL humans, too. Hey, it’s anime, it doesn’t have to conform to RL rules.

Azama -- yes, Asians with afros exist --, Fuga, Kagero, Ryoma, and Sumeragi come to mind. Part of this is probably because they look the most normal out of everyone ignoring Kagero, Ryoma, and Sumeragi's gigantic hair. Then again, if you gave everyone in Hoshido brown or black hair, they would probably look normal too. 19 minutes ago, Vaximillian said: Do redhead Asians even exist? I think the areas around India -- so, stretching to the Middle East, Turkey, etc. --, there are people with auburn hair. Then again, that might not be the "Asia" most people are thinking about.

I've never seen anyone call themselves that. lol I know what Celts are (Scottish people, I think. At least, that's what the Scotland civilization is in Age of Empires II), but yeah. So does that mean you're of Scottish descent? I'm mainly Slovakian, aka eastern European myself. Appears to be a minority in the US too. Most Americans are of German or British or other western European descent. Especially German. German was actually almost our official language at one time, such people were so common.

Hair that is both straight and incredibly stiff (the cut off ends of my hair can puncture skin like a splinter) will do that. 33 minutes ago, KongDude said: Who in Hoshido looks legit asian though? Mikoto is the only one who has me kind of convinced. Asian is typically depicted as the "generic" face style (for a given physical build) in an anime art style. Other light-skinned races are usually not differentiated or only slightly differentiated unless they need to look distinctively foreign, in which case fairly typical caricatures are used, e.g. Arthur is very American (but possibly German).

I'm a mutt, but I have Scottish and Irish blood amongst other stuff. I have enough Celtic blood to be annoyed that the Basketball team pronounces it Seltic and not Keltic. I've some Eastern European as well, Lithuanian.

I hate that pronunciation too. I've always known it as "Keltic" too. AoEII pronounced it that way. I actually have some Irish and a little British myself, but a vast majority of my lineage is eastern European because of my dad's family. Both my grandparents there are majorly Slovakian because their families actually immigrated straight from there. Everything else in my blood is from my mom's family, who are much more of a mix. Grandma there was British since her maiden name was Richards, and my grandpa there was Irish because his last name was Kelly (yes, that's where my first name comes from, no joke). And apparently my grandma's grandma was part Native American or something and such too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo isn't going to double muh anyway without a lot of effort (+Spd has 25 speed, and 35 after Cavalry buffs (including a goad) is pretty pathetic), apart from units with Hector level of speed, which he can still do with -Spd (most of the time).

Well, you can always merge your -Spd Leo into a better natured Leo if you pull one, so there wouldn't be that much lost in building this one up (as long as you don't give him an expensive A-skill).

Neutral Tharja with her base kit already hits 40 Spd, and Leo needing +Spd / LaD / Hone / Goad to hit that same amount is kind of sad. 73 Atk at base is a bit low when trying to OHKO things to make up for the lack of Spd.

It OHKOs Reinhardt, and that's good enough to OHKO the majority of the cast, considering Rein's rather bulky and has triangle advantage. (L&D variants also OHKO Reinhardt, but it becomes an exact KO.) Edit: To be honest, 79 is so high that I, personally, wouldn't have problems dropping 6 from it to pick up the CC Vantage combo.

Tharja with her base kit on the other hand with max buffs nets over 20 more KO's because she has something called Spd, yes even Spring Camilla who also has a higher Atk base for 78 Atk. I'm not saying Leo is bad, just...don't give a -Spd unit a Blade tome.
