Fire Emblem Heroes

[Darj]

Maybe we need something with a little more... goodness.

 

I know: We have Florina, and Shanna. Why not have an Elibian Pegasus Banner:

 

Flier of Honor: Fiora She's have a HorseSlayer, better stats than Florina, and a better kit.

 

Greedy Flier: Farina. A Killer Lance with Sol.

 

Caring Flier: Juno.

 

Strict Flier: Thea.

 

Anyway, Ashnard would be a wyvern rider with his... Does he have a Sword or an axe?

 

And Rajaion without his rider? That would be interesting to see. We do need more dragon units that's for sure.

 

I disagree. Goodness is stale, and pretty much all the other banners have been good. I want more evil characters xD

 

Not too keen on a Pegasus banner. Feels to monotonous to me and IDK if it would attract the spending players. Personally I wouldn't be interested on it and would rather have novel or alternate versions of characters, but that's just me. If there have been banners with only armoreds like the Winter one, albeit seasonals, a pure Flier banner with new characters is a possibility.

 

As much as I dislike that he rode a dragon Laguz, yeah, he would be a Wyvern Rider. If he is ever added to FeH, hope he will be given a regular Wyvern like in Awakening. He is a sword user.

 

Also I wonder how far into the future they planned the summons and the story...Eventually they have to have an ending after all unless we go into shonen levels of bs

 

Really hard to tell when they can just make the story depending on the longevity/popularity of the game and, assuming they listen to the community, the changes they make accordingly. I mean, even if they planned to wrap things up with Muspell, nothing stops them with coming up with new characters and chapters, or seasonals, as silly as they may be.

Hmm... now I wonder if they will ever dare to make a ballot/poll for seasonal/alternate forms for characters, to make the dreams of some become true, especially those aiming for character emblems. I would request an Elincia variant for sure xD

[Wizarus]

Spent all of my orbs on this new banner. Pity broke by Seliph. I should probably just save for Legendary banners.

[Maeriberii Haan]

This would be pretty sweet ngl

Most gacha games plan at the very least for half to one year into the future. Story planning probably depends but I can see them already have full plans for Book 2 already by now and half-finished a Book 3 draft. Assets are usually ordered months before. 

 

It definitely can go on as long as there's demands. The main issue is just that at one point they'll run out of popular new characters to introduce to the game and would have to rely on OC and alternate forms of characters (regrettably as it is, would they even go out of their way to make a banner focusing on minor characters that didn't get meme'd?)

 

If the fans are fine with that happening inevitably at one point, they can figure out ways to keep the game running.

Not big surprise.

[Maeriberii Haan]

It's surprising that we have Azura over hector though.

 

Still, a free Ike is a free Ike.

[Shradow]

I imagine Vector coming out messed with his chances of getting more votes. Like how Eirika dropped so low in CYL2 most likely because of Eiricav.

 

I think I'll give Warding Breath to my Hardin. Warding Breath is EP and Bold Fighter is PP so he'll have access to the CDR at any time.

[Maeriberii Haan]

gonna give Warding to Fae once I actually can get back to play. GRobin is cool and all but Fae's the only dedicated anti-magic for Dragons atm.

[Shradow]

I wouldn't say she's the only one. Fae's got 25/30 defences, but Y!Tiki has 32/29 which is very close in Res while having much better Def, and Myrrh beats them both with 36/31. Unless there's something I'm missing.

[Wizarus]

The problem is Red is pretty bad for taking magic, at least in Arena. Blue has the most top tier mages, and they are more common than any other color. In addition, Berkut's Lance and Fjorm being a very common free unit make things very hard for green mages despite Triangle Advantage so they're seen less often compared to blue.

[Maeriberii Haan]

Myrrh can't use Warding, and while YTiki has a better overall defensive spread+speed, as Wizarus said she's stuck being in a meh color.

 

YTiki tanks Julia/Didders slightly better at the cost of missing all the blues. Meanwhile for red you really only fear SM Eirika? (dies to Nowi anyway unless superbuffed bladetome build and somehow managed to get into desperation range). WTharja is easy to bait and lacks any threat on player phase while infantry bladetomes just are not that threatening.

[Shradow]

Oh right I forgot fliers can't use Breath skills.

 

Also, now that I'm training him, Hardin has the coolest start of turn animation.

[Maeriberii Haan]

Gradivus looks like a toothpick in his sprite compared to his art.

 

Shame, huge!gradivus looks badass.

[Astro Dude]

It's surprising that we have Azura over hector though.

 

Still, a free Ike is a free Ike.

BUT I WANTED THARJA!

[Darj]

Glad that Tharja didn't win, and I will take Legendary Ike, sure, since I didn't get him during the banner. I was voting for Azura, though. Still, it's good that a second Legendary will be available for everyone, even if it most likely will come with neutral stats.

[Blake]

Honestly really disappointed that Ike won.

 

I might not like Tharja, but Winter Tharja is just a really good unit, both for use and inheritance. She's unlikely to see a reprint for a while, unlike Like who will probably see it at the end of the month, so I honestly feel like we got the worse result.

[Yemachu]

From my perspective Azura would have been worst as the winner, given you gain little from extra copies if you already have her (which I do). But I must say that she is a pretty good unit, so I get why people would want her if they don't already have her (though I prefer to use her new year version). That isn't to say I'm exactly hyped for the newest version of Ike. I already had him (unlike Tharja and Hector), but he at least has some skills that are useful for inheritance. Now to decide on who to give the skill to...

 

The way they handled the event is somewhat flawed if you ask me. Now everyone voted for units they wanted most, for one reason or another; hoping they might get said unit. Those players might be disappointed that whoever they voted for didn't win (based on the number of votes, that is over half the people). By just giving out a predetermined 5 star unit for free, without the poll and all, the disappointment would probably have been less; everyone gets a free shiny new toy. Or otherwise just give players the unit they wanted most, that way nobody should be disappointed in what they get.

[Blake]

I said worse. Not worst. There’s a difference.

[Shradow]

I can't believe I've done this...

[Yemachu]

I said worse. Not worst. There’s a difference.

Probably read it wrong, which is not helped by the fact that I tend to keep changing my mind while typing. Some sentences end up ill-formed as a result of that.

 

On another topic, I wonder who and/or what the next legendary hero will be; the banner will be hitting us soon-ish. Given we don't have a colorless legendary unit yet, we could maybe expect one of those. On the other hand, Fjorm won't be present on the banner; which I find somewhat weird due to expecting 2 seasonal units at max (Shigure and Summer Corrin), so it might be another blue unit.  With Ike setting the precedent of existing units reappearing as a legendary, it might be an existing unit (probably with Fire affinity in that case), but I wouldn't know any unit that would currently make sense. Also once saw someone suggest to use in universe legendary heroes as inspiration instead. That could be interesting, but might be somewhat unlikely.

 

Probably won't summon on that banner though (well, aside from the free summon), given most of my orbs have gone into the last banners... without much success so far.

[Wizarus]

That Takumi GHB was something else. Praise be Brave Bow Lyn and Galeforce Brave Roy.

[Shradow]

Woo, managed to summon Grima, now I'm done with this banner. It took ~40 more orbs mostly because very few green orbs actually showed up. He's +Atk which is awesome because it's a superboon, but he's also -Res which kinda sucks since it's a superbane, leaving him still at 174 BST. Any other bane and he'd be at 175 BST bumping him up to the next bracket. Still, I'm happy, 44 base Atk at max level is insane.

[Shradow]

Next Voting Gauntlet brackets, definitely joining BK:

 

Also next Arena bonus heroes:

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

I'm torn between Grima and evil Celica tbh.

Black Knight is great too though

Damn this one I'm not so sure of...

[Darj]

Took a set of the new banner, and what do I know, I rolled Celica, which I didn't have, despite aiming for Zelgius. Also with +Res/-HP, not the best but at least it's not a bane on Atk nor Spd. Funnily enough, the Sanaki I have also is +Res/-HP and both are red mages.

 

I still want Fallen Robin or Celica, though, especially for Arena Bonuses and possible Tempest Trials.

Also leaning towards those 2 for this Gauntlet.

[Azure Wolf]

Didn't get anything useful off the free summon, and did a single summon off of the Fallen Heroes which did get my a +RES/-DEF Grima, which could've been better but it'll do.

 

Probably going to join either Celica (as I have a 5*+5 +SPD/-RES) or BK as I have him properly built.
