Sentinel07 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Well at least they're getting all these lame units out at once. Never really liked Awakening and Fates' beast units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YotsuMaboroshi Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I think Velouria's weapon is the second skill we've ever had that uses the Ally support feature (first one being refined Yato). It'd be nice if IS tried experimenting with skills that expand the support system a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where Panne or Velouria come from. But Yarne is from yarn. Those who have seen my latest writing contest entry and saw that I mentioned a taguel OC named Polly, her name is from polyester to keep that trend as well. Velouria is from Velour, which is a plushy fabric similar to velvet. Not sure if this is where Panne comes from, but in Spanish there's a fabric called Pana, which in English is known as Corduroy.

Nanima Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) 17 minutes ago, Medeus said: Keaton makes sense since it's a real English name, but also a type of flannel, so the localization kept the theme going while also keeping close to its origins. Kaden does also keep the theme, but I agree with you that they probably should've kept the JP name since Kaden sounds out of place compared to the rest of the Hoshidan cast. Eh, I think it's pretty confusing for a lot of gamers who associate Keaton with the Zelda Mask Fox (as you could see with the one I quoted). I personally prefer Flannel. Also lengthening Velours name felt unnecessary. But this isn't the topic for that, so I'll stop here. I wonder if we'll ever get Yarne. He is one of the least popular Awakening kids, but his class may still get him in at some point. Edited February 18, 2019 by Nanima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicCanonBalls Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 And just I thought I can stash some orbs, well I can considered it gone now because I want to pull for all four units on this banner, for the first time in 2019. I pray to Naga that I hope to get at least Kaden and Selkie. Panne is free so that's very nice to hear as well. Yarne is probably (hopefully) on brave redux banner.

Eh, outside of rereleases the Keaton foxes haven't appeared in a Zelda game since Majora's Mask nearly two decades ago, so outside of nostalgia I don't think the mix-up is that big of an issue. With that said, I'll agree to drop it since it's not the topic at hand. As for Yarne, I agree his class will allow him to get in someday, beasts are looking to be the next dragons for how desired they are for Heroes players.

Some Jerk Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm just going to truncate all those godawful YuGiOh card weapon descriptions: ----------Wolfskin Laguz transform effect: Atk+2, Special damage +10 (same as Nailah's)Kitsune Laguz transform effect: Atk+2, if the kitsune initiates, inflicts Atk/Def-4 during combat and prevents follow-up from enemyKeaton: Spd-5, Brave doubling effect on both phasesVelouria: Spd+3, CD-2 to herself and her Support Partner on Turn 1Kaden: Def+3, grants his visible buffs to allies within 2 spaces during combatSelkie: Res+3, if her enemy is a melee and she has more Res than them, gains 50% of the difference to all stats during combat (max of +8 each) ---------- Anyway, am I the only one mad that the next GHB beast is the same color as Naesala?

Just put Rinkah into a seasonal banner like Charlotte. Do not care anymore T_T Just put her in the game. She is almost certain to get into the next Fates NH at this point, think on the bright side. CYL3 means they'll be keeping an eye on her, and Fates is IS's safe place when it comes to FEH. 1 minute ago, Some Jerk said: Anyway, am I the only one mad that the next GHB beast is the same color as Naesala?

FoxyGrandpa Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 23 minutes ago, Ice Dragon said: Selkie is cute, I guess. No one's mentioned how obnoxious the cavalry beast shared effect is yet? On player phase, opponent has -4 Atk and Def during combat and cannot make a follow-up attack? Kaden's pretty much guaranteed to demote. Ignoring the cavalry beast weapons, Goad Beasts is the strongest thing in his kit, and Goad skills are the least powerful of the movement-type-specific buffs. The effect is literally "Drive My Visible Buffs", so I don't see why not. Well, you probably are right, but I think Velouria has a pretty decent shot of getting demoted on the basis her fodder, though not completely subpar, is something we've had access to for a while now as a sacred seal and from Joshua. We've only recently gotten a Link skill from a tempest trial unit, so I'm not sure if the devs are ready to demote them into the normal summoning pool just yet. Speaking of Velouria though, I'm tempted to S-Support her and Male Corrin if I do pull for her. As a colorless unit, she benefits from the +4 to all stats more than other units since she doesn't have any color weakness, and helps Corrin out by giving him Special pre-charge. The biggest problem is that Corrin isn't a dragon or beast unit, meaning that he always has to be two spaces away for Velouria to perform at her max potential.

ASSUMING YOU CAN FIND THE DAMN THINGS. Precisely the problem! As I've said before, Awakening, Fates, and SoV (and soon to be 3H) are practically the only titles to be widespread accessible for modern gamers unwilling to put in a great deal of effort. And since the 3DS is practically dead now, access to the 3DS era is starting to die too. Everything not 13-15 is not easily accessible. FEs 1-6 + 12 need emulators, and that has a tint of illegality and requires a some effort to figure out (which is not nothing, since I borked my chance at TRS and can't figure out how to correct it). 7 & 8 are available on the Virtual Console... on that big flop called the Wii U. Tellius requires a Wii or a real good computer to emulate and are expensive. FE 11 is a DS game, compatible on the 3DS, so it is accessible, but still not quite so accessible, and the game itself isn't exactly likely to win converts to older FE, since its minimalism is an acquired taste. With Nintendo unwilling to put GBA Virtual Console on Switch, nor have they put any old game on iOS/Android- an accessible and enduring playing system (and touchscreen controls would not be terrible with not-Tellius FE), the foreseeable-future chances of increased accessibility for any old FE is unlikely. Save in remake form. I am lucky to be a childhood Blazer who became a young adult Telliusian. I could choose to like/dislike Awakening and Fates if I wanted to, newer gamers don't have the choice about liking or disliking (which is fine- different strokes for different folks) Blazing Sword or Path of Radiance or so many other titles. Since they can't do such a thing with a game they can't play. Edited February 18, 2019 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dragon Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) So I just realized Velouria's weapon is the solution for "I want to use Special Spiral, but I can't get a high-cooldown Special to activate on round 1". So now any infantry with a Slaying weapon can do Navarre and Ophelia's AoE spam. Edited February 18, 2019 by Ice Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Jerk Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Considering Keaton himself has Special Spiral and a busted weapon effect to go with it, I'd be unsurprised if Velouria was designed to work with him specifically. Kaden and Selkie have a similar dynamic where the former can easily boost the latter's Res through the roof for her weapon effect. Personally I'm really curious about what Keaton's Atk stat is going to be, because Draconic Aura hints at it being fairly high, and with his weapon + Velouria support + Special Spiral he might be able to slot in Heavy Blade to launch 4-turn specials right out of the gate.

Also have units like Echidna I would like to have in Heroes and compared to Rinkah her chances are far less. 1 minute ago, Ice Dragon said: So I just realized Velouria's weapon is the solution for "I want to use Special Spiral, but I can't get a high-cooldown Special to activate on round 1".
