Ice Dragon Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I'm honestly surprised they actually implemented Parity for real on Lucia. And Kita Senri's art is amazing as always. I really like it when he does more Tellius art because it's extremely nostalgic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dragon Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) And the usual translation notes: The banner name, "New Heroes & Ascended Elincia", is "新英雄&開花エリンシア" (shin'eiyū & kaika erinshia), "New Heroes & Blooming Erincia". As usual, "開花" (kaika), "blooming", is the term for Ascended Heroes. Lucia's epithet, "Tireless Advisor", is "女王の姉妹" (joō no shimai), "The Queen's Sister". Queensblade is "女王の護衛の怜剣" (joō no goei no reiken), "Cunning Sword of the Queen's Guard". As usual, the allergies to the word "sword" are in full force. Repel is "回避・叩き込み" (kaihi: tataki-komi), "Evasion: Knock Down". "叩き込み" (tataki-komi), "knock down", is the name of the Knock Back skill. Geoffrey's epithet, "Realm's Protector", is "女王の騎士" (joō no kishi), "The Queen's Knight". Queenslance is "女王の騎士の勇槍" (joō no kishi no yūsō), "Brave Lance of the Queen's Knight". Unrelated to the Brave Lance, which is "勇者の槍" (yūsha no yari), literally "Hero's Lance". Bastian's epithet, "Crimea's Keystone", is "王国の要" (ōkoku no kaname), "The Kingdom's Keystone". Could also be pronounced "ōkoku no yō". Gronndeer is "グルンディア" (gurundia), "Gronndeer". Elincia's epithet, "Devoted Queen", is "清真女王" (seishin joō), "Pure Queen". Crimean Scepter is "クリミア女王の王笏" (kurimia joō no ōshaku), "Scepter of the Queen of Crimea". Light's Restraint is "抑制の聖光" (yokusei no seikō), "Holy Light of Suppression". It appears that offensive staff Special skills will likely follow the naming scheme of "〇〇の聖光" (*** no seikō), "Holy Light of ***" with the "〇〇" being related to the skill's additional "staff" effect. Dazzling Shift is "幻惑・転移" (genwaku: ten'i), "Dazzlement: Warp". "幻惑" (genwaku), "dazzlement", comes from "幻惑の杖" (genwaku no tsue), "Staff of Dazzlement", which is the name of the Dazzling Staff skill. It looks like they're going to be implementing multiple tier-4 skills for Wrathful Staff and Dazzling Staff with different secondary effects. Ludveck's epithet, "Rebellious Duke", is "旧体制の糾合者" (kyūtaisei no kyūgōsha), "Mobilizer of the Old Regime". Defier's Axe is "守備逆用の斧" (shubi gyakuyō no ono), "Def Exploit Axe". Nerthuz's epithet, "God of the Land", is "地の女神" (chi no megami), "Earth Goddess". Horn of the Land is "地の女神の角" (chi no megami no tsuno), "Horns of the Earth Goddess". This is a banner full of characters where I stumble over their English names because I'm too used to their Japanese names. Elincia is "Erincia" in Japanese, and it's something I constantly have to correct when I'm typing. Bastian is "Ulysses". Geoffrey is "Geoffray", which may look like it was simply misspelled, but it's pronounced exactly as it looks, so it's definitely intentional. Lucia is "Luchino", with the "ch" pronounced like a "k", and is the hardest for me to remember her English name because it looks close, but everything is somehow wrong.

Xenomata Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 If I understand how skills interact with one another correctly, then I think Lucia could take Vital Astra and Atk/Spd Finish 4 together to make an utterly nasty combo where she has an additional source of damage reduction from VA, while also having a permanently triggered Finish 4 effect of +5 damage (not special damage, just true damage) and 7 hp healed on every hit, all because she can have a fully charged Vital Astra without actually triggering Vital Astra. ...god I hope I'm wrong, that'd just be plain annoying to deal with...

Diovani Bressan Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 So... what would be considered an supportive effect? Status effects like Triangle Attack, Bonus Doubler, Null Panic, Null Penalties and Dual Strike? Because when a skill says "nullifies bonuses", it only means visible stat buffs like Hone, Rally and Tactics. Supportive Effects can't be Drives and Spur from allies, because she already has Self Feud effect. So I can only believe it means status effects. 45 minutes ago, Xenomata said: If I understand how skills interact with one another correctly, then I think Lucia could take Vital Astra and Atk/Spd Finish 4 together to make an utterly nasty combo where she has an additional source of damage reduction from VA, while also having a permanently triggered Finish 4 effect of +5 damage (not special damage, just true damage) and 7 hp healed on every hit, all because she can have a fully charged Vital Astra without actually triggering Vital Astra. ...god I hope I'm wrong, that'd just be plain annoying to deal with... I think that's it. She can charge Vital Astra, have the damage reduction and never trigger it. The only way to lose the Vital Astra effect would be being hit by Pulse Smoke effects, or Melancholy resetting her special. From what I understood, she can only use 3 specials: Vital Astra: she can charge it and have the 30% damage reduction based on Spd; Godlike Reflexes: she will not be able to trigger the defensive effect from it, but she can get the "deals damage = 15% of unit's Spd" from it to combo with the 20% Spd damage she already has; Galeforce: she can't trigger specials during combat or AoE specials... but Galeforce triggers AFTER combat, so that will still work on her.

Magenta Fantasies Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I have mixed feelings about this banner. I love it when banners have overarching themes, and Ascended Elincia is fantastic, but none of the Tellius characters I want in Heroes were added. Also, this is at least the third year in a row we’ve had a beorc-only Tellius banner. 😑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Its a shame Bastian is the red haired stepchild of the banner, but oh well. I'm just happy he's here. Still no Tormod though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercakete Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 1. Geoffrey's finally in! And Lucia, too. Cool. 2. Nerpuz? Yikes... Between the horns on her head and those flour sacks on her chest, she's just begging for a slipped disc. (Also, did we really need more designs like these? This book seems to be the Book of Bust...sans Njodr...for obvious reasons.) 3. Bastion's attack along with the icy special animation makes him feel like an extra Winter seasonal hero. 4. Yikes again on Bastion's introductory line. Makes him sound less like a pest and more like a creep. That said, I snorted at "huzzah." 5. I hope all those people who were whining about not having a flying staff Elincia are happy now. And I mean that sincerely. 6. Before Bastion's kit appeared, I was thinking Geoffrey was the demote. Looks like the ladies keep getting preferential treatment... 7. I wonder if Lucia's B skill can be inherited by flying beasts. I keep wanting to give my New Years Elm some good stuff, but he keeps not being able to inherit them. (I.e., godlike reflexes and the other spd special.) Along those same lines, Geoffrey's lance has canto built in, which is really nice. I wonder if it's inheritable. If so, it could be a good lance for various units in general, maybe even for ones who can't usually inherit canto skills. 8. I was kind of hoping for Kieran, and to a lesser extent, Makalov and Astrid, but I think that the choices they made here were good ones for Elincia's royal guard. All of them have strong plot ties, so I'm okay with this. Still, I wonder when Kieran will make it into the game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repel already exists; it's just getting a fourth tier. It's one of the skills in the Dodge series, so it's human melee infantry only. 1 hour ago, Mercakete said: Along those same lines, Geoffrey's lance has canto built in, which is really nice. I wonder if it's inheritable. It doesn't have a "+" at the end and isn't an Arcane weapon, so it's definitely not going to be inheritable.

Tybrosion Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 10 hours ago, Jotari said: So is Ludveck an axe armour like he is in game? Yeah, he is but it appears he did not get a Prf weapon (his weapon looks to be Defier's Axe+, aka same inheritable type that Cervantes got). Ludveck's Meet the Hero page: https://guide.fire-emblem-heroes.com/en-US/09002009000921-2/ Honestly with how allergic IS is to adding armored GHBs (Ludveck is only the fourth one), I'm kinda surprised they picked Ludveck over Valtome. I guess they're saving this book's gimmick tome GHB slot to Griss or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulously Olivier Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) My favorite character is added years after I quit Heroes for being a bad game. Feels weird, man. Edited February 16, 2023 by Fabulously Olivier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Kinda feel bad for Fire Emblem Fan. This banner was THE moment to add Brom. The early part of the rebellion is where he shines the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasori Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 No Tormod still is a little 😞 Other then that a solid linup though. Lucia looks really bonkers, Elincia finally got a alt thats really great and Geofrey...is alright. I personally would have made Bastian a green dagger user with like sorcery blade or other magey skills to make him a bit more unique. He's just a little 'the demote' now. I also would have given Lucia long hair, but thats more of a taste thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all in the Crimea arc Bastian is characterized by his absence. And with Ludbeck and short haired Lucia its not just an Elincia banner, but a Crimean rebellion banner.

Othin Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 So, looking at CYL7's Tellius lineup, who's missing? 89. Edward 94. Tormod 104. Stefan 113. Volug 130. [Boyd] 137. Skrimir 162. Heather 194. Leonardo 204. Janaff 206. Meg 220. Aran 224. [Lehran] 225. Kieran 235. Caineghis 246. Nolan 249. Brom 257. Giffca 259. [Greil] 271. Calill 278. Asheruna 280. Makalov 284. Elena 285.

As obvious as putting Edward with his full trio would be, I feel like the fact that they're all guys means they're more likely to be split up. Maybe Edward/Leonardo/Meg+Jarod, then later on, Nolan/Aran/Laura+Alder? Tormod/Muarim/Vika+Izuka is another obvious one. Volug is a notable straggler here. He'd probably go with Rafiel and a new Nailah - I guess they could round out the banner with Fiona and Numida? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
