Also, where is the Nohrian Summer trailer? They'd said it'd play right after the Feh Channel ended.

The intern they got to voice Feh has to run from the recording studio back to their desk to hit the upload button

Also underrated news but it's literally never been easier to max out on tempest trials with continuous auto-battle and boosted stats on the bonus units.

I'm slightly concerned they're going to burn out actually. You already have Xander killing the viability of any new swords, and the game isn't even a year old.

And triple points on your first two per day

Just do the highest difficulty you can twice per day, and auto-battle the rest

I'm saddened that the bonus units are Delthea/Gray/Sonya. My only SoV character is Saber who'd be a 20% if at all.

I guess I should go level Anna just in case he isn't even a unit.

Me too, but the most satisfying units for me are always the ones that end up being good against the odds. My Setsuna in Fates Birthright ended up being one of my best units because she was extremely Str blessed, so much so that she hit harder than Takumi.

I have 24 level 40 5*s and 4* healers, I could probably bring that up to 28 if I trained my weaker 5*s

My score would kinda suck though but I suspect that merely getting a 7-chain of any variety will be pretty decent

Whatever sacred coins are for I'll never have. Also, drat that swimsuit banner for having another flying tome user, rarities like that suck me in to drawing. Presumably they'll have the remainder of the "Deft" weapons and valor skills.

Streams over, what was your favorite announcement? Mine was the free summon.

Tempest trial changes are big for me. Bonus units get bonus stats and bonus points for the first 2 runs will probably get me to the first seal or possibly the 5* hero next time.

My guess is they'd change it up, but I honestly can't think of who'd be in the green spot other than Hector. Minerva?

Flying blue mage yes. Will have to see how her statline looks but get your Hectors ready I guess.

Assuming I don't get tempted by swimsuits or the mystery 5% banner, I've been meaning to pull on a red mage banner for a while. I like Lilina more than Celica, is Celica wildly more powerful than her or just a little more powerful?
Side by side comparison of their max stats (neutral IVs, mind):

Celica: 39/32/33/22/22
Lilina: 35/37/25/19/31

Lilina wins out in base neutral attack power and resistance, but loses everywhere else to Celica plus the latter has a unique tome. Factor in IV changes and Lilina is only a little more powerful than Celica (a +ATK Lilina clocks in at 40 attack power) and much better against mages, but she's also a lot slower and more brittle on defense/HP compared to Celica.

Actually thinking about it Infantry Pulse is probably an Infantry-only skill. The HP-restriction basically means mages can't abuse it too. So I guess the best use is like...Ike? Ryoma?

You know what's better than having a single mage in flier emblem? It's having two flier mages.

Actually looking at that I don't see what niche Celica is supposed to have, but Lilina screams "red Julia"

Not that red Julia is super in demand at the moment but I think I'll just pull for the one I like more then
