Usana Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 64. . . you realize the boys in blue are going to try and pull her over for speeding, right? I can't believe Legendary heroes stack like that. Though I suppose there is a decent opportunity cost involved in doing that, but still that could lead to some interesting games of how high can you go.

You can't be pulled over if they can't catch you. And when you have a 2-charge Special that does 25 damage. 12 minutes ago, Usana said: Though I suppose there is a decent opportunity cost involved in doing that, Yeah. It's not exactly advisable to field three of the same character at the same time just to give one character a massive buff. Okay, well, I suppose against an all-physical or all-magic opposing team, you could field three Ephraims or Gunnthras plus one ginormous tank. For Def, you get +9 HP and +12 from the blessing and +25 Def maximum from buffs (3 Spur Def 3 for +12 Def, 1 S Spur Def 3 for +4 Def, 1 S Drive Def 3 for +3 Def, 1 S Def Tactic 3 for +6 Def) for a total of +9 HP and +37 Def. +10 Valentine Hector [=Def] would hit 63 HP and 81 Def without any skills of his own. Okay, I'm going to have to try something this dumb someday (though I'd use Lukas or Draug instead because I don't have anywhere near enough Hectors).

I was going to merge the Ephraims for an arena boost score (well merging 2 Ephraims, keeping 1 for fodder for now) but....this sounds fun? I mean not sure if it's advisable but I'll try and put it as a Defense team for science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to try someone with a bit more movement than Hector (like Lukas) so that the Ephraims don't all become easy pickings by baiting. Or wait for a Legendary Hero with a Def or Res boost to be implemented that isn't cavalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilas Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 @Ice Dragon True, well not all of the Ephraims are trained anyway. Just went to Training Tower and still quite satisfying to see 55 Defense on an unmerged +Def Vector, which becomes 59 after L'Ephraim's Fortify Def buff. That Ignis will hurt someone really bad.

You could give one Ephraim the DEF tactic seal for 61 DEF on Hector. Fortess DEF/Close Defense on A and Close Defense seal for 73 DEF on EP. /Edit: Fortress DEF gives only 5 DEF but is much cheaper than CD.

Zangetsu Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 8 hours ago, XRay said: She definitely gets the waifu appeal, or at least for me anyways. If I was a hottie like that, I would spear my own fish taco too. This is just pure conjecture. I am guessing the reason why M!Robin is more popular is due to him being more relatable compared to M!Corrin, so people who self-insert into the story would mostly gravitate towards M!Robin, as M!Robin is who the players can identify themselves as. That leaves out M!Corrin since it would be difficult to have two self inserts in the game, and since most players are male and F!Robin and F!Corrin are female, they are a bit harder to identify with. In my opinion, as for why M!Robin is more relatable, I think he is handsomer, more fashionable (coats are awesome; jump suits are not), cooler, more eloquent (Do you know how smooth he is when wooing girls?), smarter, and vastly more powerful and bad ass (Limit Breaker and class change to practically any class [with some limitation] in the middle of battle). Who wants to self insert as M!Corrin when you can be M!Robin? Awakening also makes me feel warm and fuzzy, whereas Fates is just sort of "meh." Both stories are cheesy, but Awakening is the good kind of chees, like blue cheese and brie, whereas Fates is more like dried up Kraft Singles that you accidentally left out for a week and forgot about. The "love" and polish you feel from both games are also different; Awakening just feels right like Intelligent Systems poured their hearts out making the game, whereas Fates just feels sloppy and the censorship did not help either. Awakening leaving a better impression definitely helps too. Is there a way to save quotes, because I'm not going to phrase any better than what this guy just said.

Anacybele Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Except female Corrin is more popular than either of the Robins, so that explanation doesn't make sense. Female Robin is my favorite default Avatar design personally. I like her cute pigtails, her face, and the fact that she's one of the few 3DS females that gets pants. I'm not against some females wearing skirts, but it seems like 95% of females in recent FE games do or at least have bare thighs which bugs me.

Basically, I see male Robin as being the most relatable avatar character for male players, but female Corrin being waifu material. As such, female Corrin tops popularity for being more waifu than male Robin is relatable. Male Robin then beats out the remaining two avatars because they are less waifu than female Corrin and less relatable than male Robin.

Yeah, and I don't get why female Robin isn't as much "waifu" material as female Corrin is. Especially since both got busty bikini art in Heroes. I think both are very pretty.

Her fashion is more androgynous and not quite as visually appealing as Corrin. I’m curious if she’d be more popular if her default look was more akin to her Grandmaster outfit, but alas she’s forever locked to her standard attire. Thighs do matter unless your name is Lucina... or Micaiah I guess. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her bikini top is literally a thin strip across her breasts, and she has been drawn with underboobs, that's why they look bigger. She's definitely smaller than female Robin's oldest body type.

The power of waifu is a force that is nearly unstoppable, I guess only Ike can stand up to it, however if the waifu appeal is weak then in that case non Ike men can triumph.
