How did you even get 1 Hector?

Edit: ^^^ Not sure that guy understands the game mechanics.

They must, excessively so? a 4 star, +10 unit is much better than a 5 star +0 unit. the transition to 5 star is worth anywhere from 1 to 3 points in each stat depending on the stat/character. a +10 Eliwood has a bonus of +20, compared to the 5 star eliwood they sacrificed for the durandal, who would have had ~ a +10. Not getting into, using 11 Eliwood-s means you probably got to cherry pick the nature.

That said, they either got really weird luck, or they were whaling early on. Either way, that is a weird decision...

How would a green tome user even counter him though for the breaker part to come into play? Someone through close counter on Nino and he's just preparing for the absolute worst?

The amusing part is that he inherited a 5* Eliwood's signature weapon down to the 4*.

Pretty smart actually, since a 4* +10 is like a 5* +5.

Should I tolerate and atk+/spd- Nino when I have an atk/spd neutral one, or should I feed the slowpoke to Cecilia for horse blade power?

I realize the main question was already answered, but I've actually seen CC on Bunilla and Julia for green mages

E: not a green mage, but I distinctly remember almost getting blown out by a CC Vantage Linde with one of the healing abilities, as well

if tiki actually uses a weapon I wonder if she still counts as a dragon for the purposes of fortify dragons/naga/falchion

Gaius, you're supposed to pull the string back when you use a bow.

Although at least he has a bowstring, unlike Rebecca. What is it with this game's artists and bows.

I doubt it, that would be really interesting though. It'd add some flavor to team dragon.

Can't wait to see statlines and skills, I doubt this banner will be up tomorrow since they haven't done a video yet. I'd guess it'll be next week.

i have 19 orbs and i must scream

i spent like two hundred bucks failing to get bride cordelia and i told myself i wasn't going to spend more money for a long time but atiki and frobin are both cool smart attractive characters for handsome people

i suppose i'll wait for stats to be released so i can decide if i want to go for either of them and try to not spend unreasonable amounts of money on it

Meh. Cheesecake doesn't interest me, so I'll skip that one. I'd rather roll on the Elise or New Mystery Banner to try and get more skill fodder. Or a decent red mage.

EDIT:

Also, I went down a rank in Arena, as expected, but I still got enough feathers to finish Cecilia!

None of these units have had an alt yet. In fact nobody even figured Gaius/Frederick would even get alternates (Gaius was popular in Awakening but compared to Chrom/Lucina/Robin/Cordelia/Tharja he was nothing). Even if you consider Robin/Tiki to have 'alternates', they're pretty different from their male/young versions.

I'm fully prepared for Frederick to be trash, but I'll probably use him anyway if I'm lucky enough to pull him (just watch me pull three Gaiuses and a million healers).
