ChickenBits Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I'll just put my thoughts in point form. -I love the twins but I REALLY want Tibarn so I'll be skipping. -Fae is adorable and the antlers on her dragon form are a 10/10 -Free Cecilia is neat and I love daggers -Ephraim and Hector are the actual twins that were separated at birth. Festive Siegmund = Berserk Armands -Armored healer is cool but I was more excited for H!Mia -IS listens but at the same time they don't lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Well, like in last year's Christmas banner it's still the same class type, but this time it offers characters from more than one game. And neither from FE13 nor FE14!!! That's what I call an "improvement". I'm already happy with the little things. Anyways ZERO interest to pull from this banner as most of them since summer.

Alkaid Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) I hope Cecilia is good, as another armored dagger is pretty cool to see. I think she's who I'd want most anyway out of these, so it's sweet that she's free. Hopefully she has good art.

After almost two years, we still only have 1 tome user of each color, 2 archers, and we're only now getting our second dagger and first staff. Fliers are also suffering from the same problem and it's just as much of a travesty, except fliers are always a few months ahead of armors (bows were the only exception). That's not the issue I'm talking about, I'm talking about how armors are still have BST issue that people are always complaining about. I could care less that there's more of them, if anything else I want more tome users & bow armor units in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowi's Husband Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Going to replace Fae's weapon with Lightning Breath+, down to my last Hector and it's L Hector +Atk, not foddering him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel like removing BST as a factor would result in the fewest complaints and is the best idea. 18 minutes ago, Baldrick said: Please don’t remove BST for arena calculations. It will make horses and dancers omnipresent like in Aether raids. While I do prefer the no BST crap, I think the current status quo is somewhat satisfactory. Aether Raids are more for players like me who would rather have rewards be limited by how well a player plays rather than how high they can get a team to score. 15 minutes ago, Othin said: Maybe people need to get better at fighting armors. My armors always seem to have an easy time doing it! That could be said for Aether Raids or any mode in general; many of us could use some improvement in our game play. I see lots of players still whining about ranged ponies and Dancers/Singers in Aether Raids. I remember I was whining about Rival Domains when it first came out. 1 minute ago, ChickenBits said: -IS listens but at the same time they don't lmao I think it is more of their failure to communicate and slowness to act. They generally do seem to listen to feed back based on their actions, but if they are better at communicating with us and giving us development news and updates, we as players would be much more understanding and patient. They are also abysmally slow at implementing changes, especially in regards to New Heroes Foci where many players want more equal representation from certain games. While I do not care about equal representation, I do care about their ability to satisfy players and how well they do as a business; if they cannot even speed up the Foci development process after almost 2 years since launch, there is something seriously wrong with management and it makes me less optimistic about the future of Fire Emblem.

Icelerate Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I'll pull colourless for Eirika. She's the perfect unit on my Surtr squad. Surtr gets buffed by Corrin but now Eirika can buff his attack, defense and resistance. But Surtr kind of buffs himself with +4 stats across the board so I think Eirika is probably redundant. Still first armoured healer means she has a unique niche like H!Mia so I might as well spend a few orbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play with natures a bit, and if you can get other units to have the same Atk as Surtur, you can buff more than one unit with 6/0/6/6.

There aren't many characters to choose that are actually appealing. There are plenty of armours that have yet to be released that people want.

Ephraim and Hector can continue to be meme bros who only stopped using their signature weapon when they traded weapon types for their Brave alts. But at least Ephraim got different movement types... Hector's been literally nothing but armor and Armads other than his CYL version and his CYL version is still armor too. xP Edited December 16, 2018 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperNova125 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) I am excited for Eirika and Ephraim (sorry Fae but I got a male Grima from the hero fest). Ephraim because the best lance unit I have is a -spd unrefined Catria and Eirika cause she is new and dazzling/wrathful staff works nicely with the armored boots seal and can be a potent healer. Truth to be told Fae is interesting and can work nice but come on Surtr, Grima and Fae on the same team? Cecilia, if she is an armor then she will be used a LOT, if she isn't then she will be foddered as there is only one dagger in my life now (Eir which is waifu material sooooo). I am glad that it is a three person banner and red is missing as I have three swords and I am going for the red tome Tharja.Anyway I will be sniping colourless and blue as I wanna get also Tharja and save for ny and beast units. Do we know the odds for the banner yet? Also what are the odds for getting Tharja when sniping in red for the previous banner?

Roy, Hector, Chrom, Ephraim, Camilla, Lucina, Tharja, etc. they all have seasonals now. Several Tellius characters do now too. And Ike's still been left out. Seasonal Ike when, IS? ;_; *Laughs sadly in no seasonal Seliph or Leif* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverserpent Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 i'll probably be able to only go for one of these...but which one?

Dayni Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 So I got Fae leaked. Fae's an armour because she's wearing red and has reindeer horns, has a new skill in Def/Res Bond (and now the trailers indicate new skills. Neat), has Vengeful Fighter and Armour March and her breath has an Owl effect. She even has the reindeer horns on when transformed. If only she kept the duck while transformed normally. Ephraim is an armoured lance (Joy.). He has another Seigmund which gives him Spectrum Solo on top of the new Atk/Def Solo he has, Bold Fighter and Close Guard. Eirkia's a Staff Armour (WELL FRICK I THOUGHT I WAS SAFE). Her Staff gives allies with the highest attack +5 Def/Res (Well that's neat), she has Restore (Perfect with her attacking staff honestly), Dazzling (So worth it as fodder too) and her new skill gives +6 Atk to the unit with the highest attack (Well that syncs up well.) Also Cecilia's a colourless armoured dagger. Can't say much barring her being likely free. I can't say I'm not tempted by Eirika. Other than that this is a pass from me. We'll see how I am after Hero Fest on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
