Most players are expecting these banners to reprise for the same occasion next year. Ohoho, I will look forward to that if they decide to dabble in revival gachas! Especially since I've been out of the loop of what's been going on in this game for the past few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxSpes Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The thing that scares me the most about this banner is how it will empower defense teams. The chances of a dancer refreshing units like Reinhardt or Brave!Lyn were pretty slim before, but now that there are 3 ranged dancers, we could very see set-ups where there would be no spots out of Reinhardt's range left on the map if he ends up getting danced. Not to mention that while I'm still not sold on how powerful Azura's weapon will be in the player's hands, it's definitely extremely strong in the AI's hand since Infantry unit now have a chance of getting +3 across the board, which was extremely unlikely to happen before. At least she still goes before blade tomes, but there's still the possibility that she gives +15 damage to an infantry blade user, which is is not something I'd like to face.

As I said, nobody puts on costumes and hands out/collects candy in November (unless there's a Halloween delay). Dunno what the rest of the world does in November, but in America, we put our Halloween stuff away and start getting ready for Thanksgiving. I still use Spring Lucina. :/ You've been heated with FEH since release. You need to simmer down, lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 *popcorn* Man, every banner thread that Ana doesn't like turns into "They're not that useful" and "but they are". I think she needs to realize her biases for characters and their value in gameplay need to be separated. I remember when she tried to say Summer Freddy was a nuke.

The Halloween banner will likely start on the 26th or 27th of October. That's plenty in time for Halloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alternis Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Ugh and I just bought a Nintendo Switch too. No money to spare. >_< I got 215 free orbs saved so hopefully I can get at least Azura. x_x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I have all three of them, though that's just me. I definitely know not everyone does. Arena Assault. With seven Dancers/Singers, I can use one on every team. I can copy and paste my Arena team and breeze through the whole mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I haven't heard a single person talk about what they are dressing up as yet either. It is way too early for Halloween right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Dancer banner was not what I expected but I really need more dancers since I only have one Olivia. I really want Inigo since I always wanted to see him dance. Sadly I only have 60 orbs : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenzen12 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Well yeah having varriety of dancers covering all colours, with potential to be Rein/Lyn check. If that's not meta nothing is. Let's be honest there is never enough dancers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaden Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I wonder if it could be an autumn banner that is more harvest-y rather than Halloween. Then again, you could have similar themes going on. Heh, everyone becomes a villager in that banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just make sure I have room for an extra red or blue depending on if I need to use Olivia or Azura. Take Nowi off and use Ninian and you still have your blue breath unit. Ana the TT banners end in 8 days it makes a lot of sense for a Halloween banner to start when they end because it will be October. They have had several banners at once several times I expect to see a Halloween and a FE 4/5 banner after TT is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Shigure now being there means that his original one can exist as well. After all, we had Spring Xander before the original Xander. Original Shigure is sure to eventually come as well.

There's no reason to believe Heroes is skipping on Halloween. Literally every other gacha game does something special for Halloween because it makes money. It also keeps the fandom happy. Unless they're planning to have another 3-week set of bonus units, a new banner must necessarily start the week before Halloween for the next set of bonus units to be available at the start of the Arena season. 10 minutes ago, Anacybele said: And Summer Frederick is kind of a nuke compared to other daggers.

A nuke in this game has something like 65+ effective Atk or 55+ with a brave weapon, which is something Summer Frederick can't do. 9 minutes ago, Anacybele said: Why?

I come back to SF sometimes just to see what people are saying about the new banner, and I happen to see you complaining. I think it's not worth it to not pull just a couple from this banner. I have all three dancers, and I really want these units, lol. I've wanted Inigo, not Laslow, since release. I think you'd just have to give the banner a try. There's nothing wrong with the dancers, they're more help than anything. If you try to get at least one unit from this banner, you have a 100% chance of getting a dancer. Also, they can function as a non-dancer and a regular unit. These units, without sing/dance equipped, can function as regular units and can be danced/sung to as well.
