Jotari Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Okay, first off wow, I open this forum and almost every thread is a Grand Hero Battle. Maybe specific gameplay maps should be moved to their own sub forum. This forum is already pretty active. It's very easy for things to get buried. Anyway on to my actual topic of discussion. Gauntlets are a hip new thing in Three Houses. Are they a one time experiment for the series or a full new weapon type future games will have? Don't know, but let's assume the latter. In which case they will certainly be making their way to Heroes. With that being the case, what characters from throughout the series prior to Three Houses could be retooled as a Brawler? I think the obvious one would be Fomortiis who people were kind of shoving into the beast or breath category before now. Beyond that I guess any warrior or barbarian style character could fit the bill. Though the issue with that is that Green units are the lowest in the game and it'd be a shame to pass up on any potential axe wielders still out there. I could see basically anyone being a Brawler as a Halloween Seasonal dressed as a werewolf. Ike punches in Smash Bros too which would be good enough justification for me. Though given how inaccurate Heroes can be with weapon types sometimes (*cough* Narcian *cough*), basically anyone could be retooled. So who would you like to see is probably more the question than who could be. Anyway, discuss. I'd like to hear interesting and fitting suggestions.

Yexin Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 boyd, ike (don't know why, i think they'd fit him even though not backstory-wise), sumia (he punched chrom once iirc), draug and charlotte for now come to my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Technically each untransformed Laguz because they punch in enemy phase. Most wanted unit would be Lyre then.   Oh wait this is Heroes? Umm...still applies.  Edited August 23, 2019 by Lysithea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he'd be the best fit. And Reyson, ideally with Fury or Atk/Spd Push 10, a maxed Spd-Res statline.  Renault is a good choice: Bartre: I don’t need your prayers!

Elimine, grant me the grace to endure this man… I fully support this. We have plenty of staff users in the game already (though I guess he could fill a niche as a defensively bulky staff user of which there are few). Give him a pair of gauntlets to reference his mercenary past and a special prf healing alt to reference his redemption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you’re truly here with the permission of your superiors. L’Arachel: Of-of course I am! What gives you the right to speak to me in such a manner?

Humanoid Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Anyone who has an alt with the same weapon type and move type as an older version. To my knowledge, this would encompass: - CYL Alm - Eviller Berkut - Zelgius - One of the Byleths - CYL Celica - Adrift M Corrin - Evil Delthea - Legendary Eliwood - Valentine's Hector - Legendary Hector - and to avoid duplication, change his move type - Legendary Ike - Legendary Marth - Masked Marth (works either way you slice it) - Legendary Roy - Evil Takumi - Bride Tharja - Adult Tiki or Young Tiki I'd say that's a pretty healthy starting lineup for gauntlets.

And Ike does fit too, because he can definitely punch, at least in Smash. 😛 His jab starts with a punch! Oh yeah, I think gauntlet/brawling in Heroes should be colorless, so we finally have a colorless melee weapon beyond a few dragons.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Do they have two hands? They can throw 'em. Once we nab two or so canonical brawlers from Three Houses, the gates are open for more brawlers as Seasonals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince777 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) I really don't think fists will become a staple in Fire Emblem, I very much doubt they'll make it into Heroes and I kind of don't want them to, especially if they plan to give that weapon type to characters like Gonzales. That said, I wouldn't mind if they made it a colorless melee unit type and kept it unique to characters like Caspar and Raphael.  Edited August 23, 2019 by Vince777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, I didn't say dragons were physical. I said they're melee, which means they attack close up. They're not ranged. I always forget the wolfskin exist because I dislike them. And there's only two, and that's a tiny number. Gauntlets need to be colorless to expand the melee colorless options. EDIT: Oh yeah, Keaton is red anyway. Not colorless. We only have one colorless physical melee unit total. Edited August 23, 2019 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making them manaketes would've made no sense since they're not dragons and don't use breath. Except the actual dragon laguz, of course, but they're still not in yet, so yeah. Second, making brawlers manaketes makes even less sense. They don't even transform. 😕 Edited August 23, 2019 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me sad that females don't get a brawling class option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
