Yexin Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) With today's update, staves without damage limitations colorless tomes have been added! Who do you see fit for this new weapon type? Personally, i can see being colorless tomes units i previously thought would be either staff, blue tome or green tome units: Sephiran, Ashera, Rhea and others, just to name a few It's highly likely imo that only VERY premium units will have colorless tomes, so i really can't see units such as Erk, Ilyana or Asvel to be part of this category So, what are your guesses?

Roxas Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 thinking back to how OG Julia has blue colored animations as a green tome, I can definitely see colorless tomes being the standard for Light/Dark mages that don't fit in the anima magic triangle (Fire = Red, Thunder = Blue, Wind = Green). Although we kind of have Dark = Red for now (Henry, Hubert, Raigh, etc.), I can see future "legendary" magic units getting colorless tomes to represent higher tiers of light/dark that exist in their game's canon.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I would have answered gharnef or Julius but we missed the boat on that one. Maybe the scroll type weapons from Fates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) The generic tome for it is apparently called "Rock", so definitely Veld with Stone. He makes too much sense for it. I do like FEH adding new magic elements. Earth was a weird element always missing from FE magic overall minus a few examples. Also, I'm like... 99% sure they added it to give Tomes a colorless option since, if they add Fists which is highly likely especially now with these being added, it'd be the last group of weapons that lacks a Colorless variant.

Othin Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 No one, it's a terrible idea. But it's being added, probably starting with a mythic banner, so my guess is Ashera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Personally, I was thinking things would be set up like Red = Fire + Dark Blue = Thunder + Light Green = Wind + Spirit Scrolls (the Hoshidan "Tomes" from Fates) so I really have no idea what colorless tomes are going to be... I also have concerns that unless they're going to be consolidating Tomes into one supertype like Knives, Bows, Dragonstones, or Beast attacks, Colorless tome units will have a really rough time of it due to being so far behind other Tome colors in terms of weapon options. Besides, I felt Staves kind of already represented colorless ranged magic damage? I guess they're not considering them to, though. To the addition's credit, the idea of Earth magic in Fire Emblem is a cool one, assuming "Rock" ends up being the final name of the basic Colorless tome. Personally, I was hoping for Gauntlets as a new weapon type in the role of colorless physical melee, since we currently only have four 5★-exclusive Beast units in that role, one of whom is seasonal. Alas... another day, perhaps. Edited March 5, 2020 by Topaz Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregster101 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Seeing as how Legendary Lyn was added right after they added colored bows, something tells me that our Mythic for this month will be our first colorless tome user. If I had to guess who, probably Ashera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingle Jangle Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I see gray tome for users that are beyond conventional magic. Like Ashera, Sephiran, the true form of Sothis, and Gotohs. I would put Julia or Julius but they came out for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Zero Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Probably Ashera, Gotoh, Athos, Nergal, Izana or Eat Rock guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflolxp54 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Ashera or Ashunera... maybe Rhea, too, given that this is probably a 3H-heavy month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperNova125 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I like their addition and I personally would like to see units that are not the typical fast Desperation nuke to be able to separate themselves from fast wrathful dazzling staff healers like Camilla or Veronica that also can hit pretty hard. Candidates are for me are Ashera since she has the whole Order thing going for her so being neutral in the Weapon triangle does fit her theme. Brave Lysithea as I think that it will be the perfect way to make her colorless without being a healer. Other candidates are Vled and Braimond. Another interesting option is Freyr and Freya from book 4 as we have fairies for all colours but they are far more powerful than them it seems it is natural for them to be Colourless.

GodSejeong97 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Enlightened Byleth or Grandmaster Robin would fit in IMO. Especially in Robin's case, he/she would prefer to be neutral in order to fit in any type of battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point! Yeah, I'm betting one or both of them will be Colorless tomes. Other predictions are Legendary Micaiah and possibly B!Lysithea. And of course Ashera and possibly Rhea. I'm surprised we got Colorless tomes though, since previous ones have been color-locked. This'll be interesting! Gauntlets are a lock after this, right?

I don't really see them adding gauntlets into FEH, cuz there's only like five characters who could reasonably be gauntlet units outside of seasonals, those being Dedue, Caspar, Raphael, Alois, and Balthus. That's not enough to justify a whole new unit type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since thieves are automatically dagger units in FEH, there's a lot more options to choose from. With gauntlets, they've only been in one game so far.

Int sys has been rather arbitrary with its weapon types; I do however agree that IF we see gauntlets, it'll be later or they'll become seasonal gimmicks.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I would not at all be surprised to see Legendary Micaiah or Brave Lysithea get a colorless tome. I can also see Ashera, Rhea, Athos, Nergal, and Bramimond. I doubt they'll remain locked to super premium units, though, and eventually branch out to characters like Orochi.

eclipse Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 If it's not a mythic, I'm going to be disappointed. Wouldn't mind Athos/Brammy, as Elibe doesn't have a mythic yet (y'all in Tellius have Yune and Altina). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Lysithea will probably get Ukonvasara. This is the developers’ golden chance to add yet another axe loli. Legendary Micaiah is a possibility. It’d complete FEH’s color variety. There’s also the possibility of Reinhardt getting that as well to have him in every color. Izana, Manfroy or Sephiran are also good candidates.

Benice Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Brammimond for Mythic? Yes papa! I personally think that colorless also represents his soul, since it reflects whomever he's speaking to. His personal tome/skill would probably have a similar reference to this also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercakete Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Colorless times really surprised me. I thought they'd add gauntlets, but surprise! Colorless tomes. Umm I don't know. Can't say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
