Anacybele Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yeah, I keep getting into this debate with people, it seems, and the sides always seems to be split evenly. So what do you think? I think it'll be male Morgan. Everything points to him imo. - He's not as popular as female Morgan, so naturally, IS would want to keep the bigger money maker 5 star only. - Female Morgan comes with a complete A/B/C skillset and male Morgan does not. Characters with that privilege have never dropped to 4 star as far as I know. - The red pool already has so many units and 5 stars, we don't need to add another 5 star exclusive one to it on top of horse Chrom. It'd still be easier to pull female Morgan than male Morgan if both remained 5 star only. The only way male Morgan would be easier to pull is by dropping him to 4, or else he becomes much harder to pull. Then I see people argue "but female Morgan doesn't have a unique weapon while male Morgan does!" Firstly, why does that even matter? Jeorge has a unique weapon and he's 4-5 star. Eliwood has one (or did. But for a time, he did) and he's 3-4 star! There's precedent for characters with unique weapons to be 4 star or lower. There's no precedent for characters with full A/B/C skillsets being 4 star. Second, female Morgan does have a unique weapon. No one else has Blarserpent. It's new. So until someone else gets that weapon or gets something called Gronnserpent or Rauorserpent, it's a unique weapon for now. So yeah, this is why I think it'll be male Morgan. If anyone has any other reasons it could be female Morgan though, I'm interested in hearing. I've not heard any evidence as strong as what I'm presenting for male Morgan, honestly.

Michelaar Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I agree, I think it'll be Male Morgan. But I won't mind either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanima Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Considering none of the Fallen units dropped, it might be neither. Sure it would be a terrible trend for the already stagnant 3 and 4* pools, but I am not sure if they won't do it for the cash. If it's anyone though, I agree it should be M!Morgan.

Anacybele Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think it's possible neither or both will drop since both are the same character as different genders, yeah. But the fallen characters were mostly alts and Hardin...well, I can't imagine him being 4 star. Chrom is an alt, the Morgans are not. So I think they'd be more likely to drop than units like the fallen ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Karnage Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'd like to see both and make the 5star pull rate 4% overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 MMorgan's kind of really underwhelming and less desirable overall for most players, so he'll probably drop. Lucky me, it means merging him will become a bit easier if it happens. FMorgan is both a non-seasonal flier and, like you said, she has a full kit. I don't see her dropping mainly for the second reason, I can't see them putting a unit with a full skill kit in the 4* pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The pessimist in me thinks neither will drop down after last banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrom-ulent Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I too lean towards M!Morgan dropping. Sothe and L’Arachel had personal weapons at 5 stars and they’re now in the 4-5 pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 M!Morgan is who I think will drop since he is the least impressive of the three units on his banner and F!Morgan being a flying mage mage makes it highly unlikely she will drop. I hope he does drop so I have a chance of pulling him in the future since I am skipping this banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 I do wish male Morgan hadn't gotten the short end of the stick though. Why did female Morgan have to get the awesome options? They're both Morgan, so they should've been made more equal imo, like their parents were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we'll see 2 Chroms in the 4* pool and F!Morgan is a flying mage they wouldn't be so kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check closely there's a little tail thing at the top of the letter. On-Topic, yeah, if either drops it'll be Male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Bill Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 It’ll probably be Female Morgan as the Serpent tomes’ll probable start becoming more common, as IS releases Gronnserpent and Rauðrserpent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverly Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I don’t think people should look at what happened in the previous banner and say “Well nobody dropped there so it won’t happen here!”. That’s comparing apples to oranges. The Fallen banner is comparable to the Brave and Farfetched banners, whereas this one is not. Anyways, male Morgan will definitely drop. If he doesn’t, I’ll drink a bottle of hot sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Dragon Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 There are ample arguments for both sides. I think it's up in the air, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if either of them, both, or neither are dropped. Female Morgan has her rare class and 5 default skills going for her. Of her skills, only Blarserpent and Mirror Stance are noteworthy, but I'm not sure they're special enough to warrant a guaranteed lock for 5-star exclusivity. Male Morgan has a unique weapon and Dull Ranged as well as Tharja's offensive stat line. If female Morgan drops, this will be the first time a character with 5 default skills is dropped to 4-star rarity. If male Morgan drops, this will be the first time a character with a unique weapon is dropped to 4-star rarity when a character without a unique weapon is available to drop, but doesn't. Either way, it'll be a first. Or neither can drop or both can drop. 32 minutes ago, SoulWeaver said: Off-Topic, just so you know, it's apparently actually 'Raudrserpent' - the letter looks like an 'o' but is apparently a 'd' because Norse Background I assume.

That's not what people mean by "unique weapon" - and I think you know it - so this argument is the fallacy of equivocation. Blárserpent is inheritable; thus, it's non-unique. As far as the actual question goes, I'm leaning towards neither M!Morgan, if any. Like you say, there's precedent for legendary weapons users in non-5* pools, and no precedent for 5-skill units in said pools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For languages that dropped the letter in favor of the Latin character set, it was replaced with "dh", "d", or "dd". Contrast that with thorn, which was replaced with "th". The most common transliteration in modern English is "d". 4 minutes ago, Seafarer said: But, I mean, it's alt+208. ð, see? Easy. I don't have a numpad on my keyboard on my work laptop, making it exceedingly difficult to use alt-key shortcuts. 2 minutes ago, Anacybele said: Looks to me like an O with a tilde or similar mark above it.

Because it's nothing like an o with a tilde at all. Claiming the sun to be a featureless yellow-white circle (hint: it isn't) because you don't look closely enough at it to see the details is exactly what you're doing right now with ð. Also, an o with a tilde looks like this: õ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
