So I have four 4* Fae sitting around taking up space. I already sacrificed 2 to give Lucina and Masked Marth Renewal. Are there any other units that go well with Renewal? I was considering Chrom, but I don't ever use Chrom.

you probably don't have celica but she's the prime recipient to counteract her weapon's fury-at-full-hp effect.

I mean, we've already seen that Lyn won the original vote. I can't imagine it'll be all that different from the CYL results.

It's been over 6 months, people's opinions change

Maybe I'm just biased because vanilla Lyn isn't a very good unit

Lyn is kinda boring, Camilla is the kind of character who would be alright if she were in a well-written game but she's in fates, Tharja was cool in Awakening but I hate what they've done to her in spinoffs, Chrom is kinda boring, I don't have Ike, Roy is garbage, and I don't have Hector

Therefore I will support Lucina, who is pretty cool and who I have

I mean, if you want more archers, you should draw from the orb that gets you them. I'm pretty sure the golden rule is "don't roll from orbs you don't want". Colorless just sucks a little more because of the multitude of different classes in it, but I've gotten a looot of Gordins on colorless pulls.

The other colors have plenty of consolation prizes in terms of inheritance fodder. So it doesn't feel bad to look at all the random 3*-4* you summoned. But so many 3-4* colorless heroes are terrible at combat and terrible at being inheritance fodder ~cough~staves~and~daggers~cough~.

In everything since (starting with the awakening DLC) she's added the gimmick of "I have boobs! Look at my boobs!" which is eh

To be fair, the game Lyn comes from has some of the best Fire Emblem attack animations ever (watch in 720p60fps for the full effect):

The ones that stand out in my memory are Sniper crit, Swordmaster crit, Lyn crit, and General axe attack. I feel like I actually need to watch this and see if there was anything else

I see Chrom winning, but that's a toss up. Ike and Lucina are definitely winning, and I think Camilla is probably winning. Tharja, Camilla, or Lucina probably the champ though.

Not a chance that a male character wins a voting gauntlet ever (unless the last two teams are both male)

Ike won 1st and 5th place on a popularity poll. He is quite literally the most popular character in Fire Emblem, especially when you factor in the Smash fandom.

Yeah, Tharja's pose and generally slouching and being unfit reminded me of a socially awkward shut-in and not "slutty mcboob tits".

Hector's crits are my favorite.

Lord: just heave his axe onto his shoulder and look smugly at the enemy.

Great Lord: just get a bit of a wind-up.
So understated and smug. I love it.

Yeah, but Tharja hiding her boobs in Awakening is vastly different than her Heroes pose.

I think that's the point I was trying to make?

I don't think anyone mentioned anything about Tharja even being good looking until the 2nd season DLC. And then that conversation was changed in some regions to be about her hair instead.

The japanese version of the little character blurb (e.g. Stahl is "the biggest glutton in the army") describes her as having the best body in the army. They changed it to something like having the darkest thoughts in the army in the NA release iirc.

e: those blurbs are usually completely disconnected from the character's overall portrayal because they're meant to be interesting little sidenotes rather than major focuses. This is definitely the case for original Tharja.

Is that the Olivia Tharja conversation? Tharja's indifference to her own looks was rather funny, and Olivia basically loses it when Tharja tells her she does literally nothing to stay super thin.

E- every Awakening character is mostly a gimmick, but the roster isn't bloated like Fates, so most of them are fun and memorable.

By most I mean 60% of the cast.

Oh yeah. That one. The harvest DLC also has the "Severa and Kjelle sexual tension power hour", right?

E- i guess the Severa Kjelle sexual tension thing is through all their conversations. That makes it much better.

tharja is misanthropic, but cool up until the part where she treats noire like poo poo

future-tharja's abuse of her daughter can't be held against present-tharja because future-avatar, uh, destroys the world, but present-tharja's behaviour towards noire is just...bad

I love Panne, but she ain't winning parent of the year either.

Pretty sure Sumia or Lissa get that distinction in FEA.

Now if Panne becomes unit in FEH, I might change my mind...

Indeed.

So, pulled my first Klein! :toot:

Who do i give DB3 to? Rein and brave+ freddie already have db2 (no Kleins. Only hawkeyes. Hawkeyes for days...) and while I'm sure they'd benefit from the extra 4 damage, should i wait for someone else it just give it to one of them?

It feels like a waste, mulching an entire klein for one skill.

Dark horse: i have a setsuna too, not sure of IV...
