XRay Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Just now, Ice Dragon said: Desperation doesn't give you a free follow-up. It makes an existing follow-up come before the opponent's counterattack. There's no point in running Desperation unless you're also running Brash Assault, but Brash Assault is an awful skill. It is not that bad with Bolt Traps being so abundant, although it does suck if you step on a low level one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltosian Kadath Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Much as I really want a Thracia Legendary/Mythic Hero, this is clearly a Genealogy Leif, and I am going to be very irked if they pretend he is a Thracia unit in this form.

Well, Master Bow doesn't exist in Genealogy, so it's kind of a mix of the two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have grabbed weapons from other games to spice up a Legendary Hero before (Legendary Lyn and the Mulagir), but when they call out a game with their character design, they have generally pointed that out with the official appears in section (To restrict myself to Legendary Heroes: calling out the gold dragon design of Legendary Tiki having Mystery of the Emblem origins; Legendary Marth's use of a shield and the Fire Emblem itself being a shield as distinctly Mystery of Emblem; Legendary Ike being the muscled Radiant Dawn version; Legendary Alm having been inspired by Echo's Conqueror version). Legendary Leif is clearly the Master Knight version from Genealogy of the Holy Wars, and Thracia deserves its own heroes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing special about Legendary Tiki and Legendary Marth being credited to Mystery. Similarly, there are no characters in the game credited to Gaiden. All characters from Gaiden are credited to Echoes, and Legendary Alm is no different. The non-Branded Beorc Tellius characters have actual character design differences between the two games due to the time skip between games. It obviously makes sense for Legendary Ike to be credited to Radiant Dawn instead of Path of Radiance due to an actual difference in character design, not due to having a specific weapon or set of skills. Genealogy and Thracia have none of these distinctions. Because Thracia occurs during the events of Genealogy, Leif's character design says nothing about his game of origin. He's a character from both games using a design from either game in a class from one game using a weapon from the other. As for Lyn, we all know her use of Mulagir is more of a reference to her CYL version than to Binding Blade.

That seems a fair point, but 8 minutes ago, Ice Dragon said: Genealogy and Thracia have none of these distinctions. they opened the door with there being a distinction between Genealogy and Thracia with Ishtar. Ishtar: Thunder Goddess is attributed to Genealogy of the Holy War; While Ishtar: Thunder's Waltz is attributed to Thracia, and the Thracia version has far more subdued color similar to the difference between the Genealogy and Thracia in game portraits.

Which is exactly my point. There is no distinction between Genealogy and Thracia, meaning the decision as to which game to attribute a character to is completely arbitrary and basically just depends on the circumstance of their release. Leif, Nanna, and Finn were introduced in a Thracia-themed banner and therefore are credited to Thracia. Ishtar was introduced in a Genealogy-themed banner and therefore is credited to Genealogy. Dancing Ishtar and Dancing Reinhardt are a pair and therefore are credited to Thracia due to Reinhardt being exclusive to Thracia. I think the colors are a coincidence and you're looking too much into it for significance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSbardock84 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Wow I got three Legendary Alms before I finally got Legendary Leif. Wasn't happy it took 150 orbs to get him, but oh well, he's exactly one of the main units I've been saving my orbs for and I still have 150 left.

(I'm not complaning, I'd like Thrasir without the Gunnthra blocked. still ticked off she kept me away from Bow Fjorm. GRRR). Dec. Colourless is great for me. like. REALLY great. and I want Thrasir. I kinda wish julia moved to Dec. and that would be aces. Dec. red is a blegh. (even though i need def. tactic). I honestly feel we're going to get to the point where Legendary banners are strictly going to be Legends/Mythics and then the seasonals. no more 5* exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinco Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'm almost convincing myself to wait for December to pull again. Instead of trying to get new Mythics, it's better to focus on geting merges on the ones I have to boost score, and Eir/Naga have blessings that helps with the units I use on each season. I need to pull Thrasir to have instead of Duma for Anima, but aside from that I'll just try to get more Naga/Eir/Yune merges, so December would be 3 of 4 units I want.

Humanoid Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 November looks like poison - the only unit I'm interested in would be one copy of Julia to get rid of my attack bane, but no chance I pull for her there since I have absolutely zero interest in the other two blues. A February re-run would be ideal. I'm assuming the third red is Lif. December is only slightly better. Roy occupies a similar situation to Julia, but at least I'd take one Hrid to get rid of my ridiculous +Spd -Atk one. Indifferent about Thrasir so it depends on her fellow greens. Grey is useful merges but again, depends on a good third wheel. January is all about Leif again, hopefully he turns up with some attractive buddies. Nothing else there for me. ____ Remaining seasonal re-runs this year: - Red: No space this year. Flora is first up next year. - Blue: Lukas in December almost certainly, leaving Pent to front up next year. Really hoping for a Laegjarn re-run in February but that relies on Lukas and Pent being run consecutively. - Green: Next up is all the way forward to Laevatein, a good chance to catch up on non-seasonal greens perhaps. - Grey: Fjorm this year, Gunnthra either December or next year.

Mercakete Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Gameplay wise, I should maybe shoot for Sothis next month. She'll play super nice with M!Kana. And if Lif's the next mythic, all the better! I can go for both him and Sothis that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dragon Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I hope Julia gets to share a banner with Ephraim after her next banner, though that's probably not likely given their spacing. They're the only two blue Legendary Heroes that I'm not swimming in right now. And hopefully next month is Lif so I can get more copies of Sothis at the same time. And if it's not Lif, I hope next month's Mythic Hero shares a color with a seasonal or regular unit that I care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotari Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 This is ridiculous. I'm after pulling five Alms and four Tikis. Just give me a single Leif, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Dragon Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 136 pulls, sniping colorless (then blue, green, red, in that order if no colorless). Much fewer pulls than usual due to having to fix my car last month, but I got a good haul, so I'm still satisfied (career total in parentheses): 5 (5) Leaf, including a perfect [+Atk, -Spd] 3 (14) Alm, including 2 +Spd 1 (14) Tiki 2 (14) Lucina 1 (3) Marisa, +Spd replacing my previous +Def base That's a lot of 14's. Overall 8.8% 5-star rate, which is right about the average expected rate, but the number of Leaf pulls was extremely satisfying, especially the one with the perfect nature. I'm also rather happy to have gotten the pitybreaker Marisa with +Spd. I wish they'd give old seasonal banners the 4% treatment during their reruns.

SSbardock84 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Man, I'm so glad I didn't merge my Takumis. Leif with Distant Counter and Vantage is insane. I think he might be my new favorite unit in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might be my new favorite unit in the game. Careful with bulky units though. His Atk is still low compared to other Counter-Vantage users, so you cannot rely on it the same way that you can with Keaton, Ares, and Blade mages.
