Her boyfriend ordered children hunts where the army rounds up kids to indoctrinate into the Lopt cult

Ishtar keeps up appearances of participating but secretly saves as many as she can

She's like not really a good person but her boyfriend is dragon satan so she looks good by comparison

The best part of the child hunts was it wasn't just lets indoctrinate all the children to evil dragon cult but instead lets have all the children fight to the death in the arena and the survivors gets to be indoctrinated into the evil dragon cult.

The main difference of course being that Ishtar is a villain in genealogy, not a hero like the royals are in conquest

No matter how much paperwork I process, it never goes away. It only increases.
a villain portrayed relatively sympathetically, and probably one of the better people in a villain cast dominated by evil priests kidnapping children and massacring their parents for shits and giggles, but still a villain

Who's more evil, Ishtar or Ishtor? Obviously Blume is quite a bit more evil than either of them, and Hilda is way more evil than even Blume. I'm not sure where Reptor falls on this scale, though.

Ishtar’s kinda trapped because the guy she likes/used to like has come down with a bad case of dragon dementia and also her entire family will get murdered if she does the wrong thing

reptor's probably more evil than blume by virtue of more exposure doing evil poo poo (putting out the hit on prince kurth, framing house chalphy for it, divvying up the conquered territories with lombard) i guess

I like doing my arena runs early enough that I can watch my rank slowly drop from ~250 over the course of the week

I'm honestly surprised my score (3681) has been enough to stay in the T21 rank up range for so long. It absolutely will not last.

I put together a 3729 with my dear sweet boy Valter. He ruthlessly devoured several heroes to put together a Brazen Atk/Def, Desperation, Heavy Blade seal approach. He also benefited from a lot of Ardent Service+, Drive Atk/Def/Spd, Def and Res Tactic help from Sheena, Gwen, and Eirika.

Flora's face in her attacking art looks really messed up. Also lmao at the teeny tiny font size for her weapon description.

Nina must have really low attack to be getting such low damage against that flier, right?

Silas will give us more reposition fodder in a new colour from before, and a wave skill below 5*. Wonder if they'll be generous and make it the 4* unlocked skill.

Silas with his horribly lackluster kit being on the same banner/the same colour as Ophelia is cruel and unusual.

Garon GHB coming, cool. He's an armoured axe, right? Our first free one, in that case.

Funny that the solo skill gives a better boost than bond skills. That seems weird.

Definitely want to make a mage team with Ophelia. But not enough to spend many orbs on this manner.

Makes sense. Solo needs you to not be surrounded by anyone, meaning you forfeit spurs, drives, support boosts and other such proximity skills.

We thought that about Walhart, so I won't hold my breath.
