ChickenBits Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 @Etheus @Gregster101 He's my favourite FE character so I'll still hope for him but yeah, his unique mechanics don't translate well into Heroes. They could go the lazy route and make him a dragon but that would be so boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullmetal Dude Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Sort of unimpressed here. Going for green with tickets. Maybe I get a free DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperNova125 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I don't care much about most of these of the units or their skills. DC is an exception and so is lul Atk spd as it is one of the best B slots I could give Naga and definitely what I would do Sirius if I ever got him, unfortunately my budget does not allow summoning for fodder, so I will wait for a lul banner to focus on him completely and gather some orbs. I will spend my free summons, tickets and story orbs for green to get Nagi, as she could be a nice teamate for Caineghis, she will also complete my "naga's girls" team (Naga, fallen Tiki, legendary Julia so far), and depending on how she turns out I could even use her on the dragon squad. I am also excited for bantu as I am lacking a lot in red or green dragons (my only ones are Nah which I am not the biggest fan of, and a -spd adrift female corrin who is a support bot and uninvested. Also depending on what his skills are, if he isn't a good fodder I could make him my first non grail merge unit. As for the GHB, more feathers and dragonflowers are never bad to have.

Or they could make him a Sword Fighter, like he originally was, preferably with an Assist that mimics his transformation ability somewhat.

Dayni Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Archanea got a banner. That's actually kind of shocking. I got spoiled. Phina's first, being yet another red dancer I bet I'll never pull. She's got the Rapier (REALLY? It's got Vantage and Spd +3 on top of her other goodies), Dance, Spd/Def Form (Alright I guess, I actually understand how it works now) and Geyser Dance. Sirius is voiced by Zeke's VA (HMMMM) and comes with a Sable Lance (Cooldown -1, +4 to all stats when no ally's beside him), Luna, Atk/Spd Solo (Good Fodder) and Lull Atk/Spd (Ignoring Atk/Spd buffs could be horrifying.). Norne arrives I guess and comes with the Guard Bow (It's in the pool!), Reposition (Neat), Brazen Spd/Def (which is new) and Spd/Def Link, I want her to demote but I honestly doubt it. We finish on Nagi who's decided to be green (GIMME), being armoured and having Ethereal Breath (-1 cooldown, dragon effective, raven effect, reduces damage from AoE effects by 80%), Sol, DC, Special Fighter (So she'll be quick) and Dragon Valour). So all in all, Nagi seems to be the best news what with her FUCK OPHELIA build. Which is what I would say if we didn't also get Bantu in the 3-4* pool, that's probably the coolest thing about this banner. Give me more! Also, Astram's the GHB. So wait, no Midia or Nyna? Weird.

Jingle Jangle Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Statlines from: Spoiler Phina is a speed demon dancer. Nagi laughs at Ophelia attempts to hurt her. Sirus want buffs to overcome is lowish attack. And Norne is okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlight Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I predicted that Norne would have higher BST than Alm and she does not dissapoint. Really good unit Edited September 18, 2019 by redlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyGrandpa Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I'm digging Norne's stat spread if she gets demoted. Offensively, it isn't too much better than most of our current f2p offerings, but her all-around high stats and status as a colorless unit means that she'll be really strong all around with merges, dragon flowers, and premium investment. Also "Cam-oo guess who it is"? Pretty funny NoA. Edited September 18, 2019 by FoxyGrandpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomata Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) All I'm getting out of the Tips and Tricks video is that they really do not know how to market. Oh boy we now know that Norne is an utterly Decent archer, Phina has applicable offensive use, Sirius just looks like Brave Eliwood (with more natural Spd but less Atk, focus on being alone rather than Player Phase, and no effective damage), and Nagi is Armor-spread min-maxed to hell and back, which is not the impression of her I got from comparing her to Tiki in their original games (basically just Tiki but minus the chance to grow properly in levels). Great! Awesome! So... what about Ban-Ban? We know he has Dragon Fang, which added 23 damage to his attack, and has what looks like Dark Breath but IMO seems a different shade of purple (not discounting that it just looks different on my phone). I really should not be more curious and intrigued by the 3*/4* unit than the four units who are supposed to be the money-makers...

Vince777 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 They wouldn't have chosen Astram if it hadn't been for completing the Archenean Regalia so of course he's coming with it. I was under the impression they were waiting to put the Mercurius on Kris (or as Ogma's new weapon but he got something else) and would never release Astram but here he is.

Diovani Bressan Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 If my math is right, and also the video: Norne is a 168 BST unit, with 42/32/36/31/27 Phina is a 161 BST unit, with 40/35/37/26/23 Sirius is a 162 BST unit, with 40/34/37/35/16 Nagi is a 179 BST unit, with 46/37/19/36/41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhhh I totally forgot it, thanks for reminding me as I would pull a useless (for my needs) unit, as offensively B.Eliwood outclasses him and none other will want his skills. Phina looks awesome with that stateline, I don't care about Sirius now that the confusion is out of the way. Also Nagi looks amazing and with aether, Armor March, QR and her base kit she will be unstoppable, also she will have a super boon (hopefully a Def or res one) . About norne, is she trainee or more stats and Powercreep? Could this be a reason to have her as a pity breaker in the 5* pool and not demote her, considering that Bantu is a new 3/4* after all. About Bantu, will he have B.Alms BST (173) or 168 that most infantries have, same question applies for Astram (Mercurius is finally in the game).

Interdimensional Observer Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 7 hours ago, Sentinel07 said: Thank goodness. Been looking forward to Mercurius. Now we can only hope they don't screw it up. GHB's don't have the best track record with Prf's (looking at you Imhullu and Naglfar) Mercurius has been the worst of the Regalia though since FE11. FE1, it is Marth-locked with a neato growths boost effect, the growth boost would be good, were it not for Marth already or likely approaching the level cap. And Marth-lock is so-so, because Marth doesn't need it, but he is the best unit in the entire game. Gradivus and Parthia being usable on other people might give them an edge. FE3, it is as good as any other Regalia. Since all of them here have 20 Mt, 100 Hit and double EXP gain. No 1-2 range like Gradivus, but half the weight with a few more uses. FE11- Strongest non-effective/Devil sword in the game by 7 points. But Swords are a little weak in this game, and effective bonuses are really good. Gradivus has 1 more Mt, 1-2 range, and a full heal effect. Parthia's Pure Water effect is weak, but it does have more availability than the Mercurius. Hauteclere has tremendous availability, and is just as strong as Mercurius in a better weapon type. FE12- Still no effect on Mercurius, Parthia has a lot more usefulness against all the Wyverns in Anri's Way. Hauteclere has the same availability lead. FE13- The strongest sword around, but only by 2 points. No secondary effect. Ragnell trounces it in the sword department because 1-2 range is invaluable in Awakening. Gradivus, with 1-2 range is faaaaar better too. Hauteclere got a buff as well, making it better than Mercurius in the 1-locked range category. FE15- The WORST MERCURIUS EVER! Gradivus has a 1-2 range niche, which isn't very useful, but a fast yet more fragile Gold/Falcon Knight can use this to avoid counters on against a 1 range enemy. Parthia has Trance Shot for the longest attack range in the game. Mercurius has nothing special to it. A fully upgraded Blessed Sword has 15 Mt against Terrors, which is better than the Mercurius's 11 Mt with its upgrade. And, to make a full-strength Mercurius, you need 30 Silver and a whopping 9 Gold! It's a colossal waste of forge resources. -Haven't played 3H yet. So, Mercurius, if it wants to be good again, will have to be more than an 20/18 Mt no secondary effects sword. It'll need some good damage-buff skills imbued in it.
