I dont care for Ophelia or Nina but I do like how specific Flora's niche as a dragon killer is.

It also fits with her being the defensive sister without forcing her to use Bonfire and allowing her to use Iceberg. Very cute.

She seems garbage as a dragon killer

Well, if they're ending Book 2 tomorrow, the other banner being an OC banner is certainly possible.

ApplesandOranges posted:

It won't be a Birthright banner, but they'd probably add at least one male, so either Hayato/Yukimura or one of the neutrals (Shura/Izana/Fuga).

Reina is also decently popular, moreso than Orochi.

I haven't really kept track of the popularity polls, so that was mostly just a guess based on vaguely remembered personalities and spritework. I can see Reina being popular, but wasn't Hayato near the bottom in terms of popularity? I'd think they'd use one of the children before him, which is... either Hisame or Kiragi.

Guaranteed doubles and laughs at adaptive damage. It'd depend on her ATK stat, but she has the skillset to do it.

I doubt she'd beat L!Marth in that role though, so.

They really should just add beasts and get it over with, their absence is getting to be a little conspicuous. Waiting until the popularity stsrts to tail off maybe. Not that I know how FEH is doing these days

Males generally did poorly; the highest ranked male not already in is Forrest at 117th. After that we have Benny (281st), Kiragi (295th), Shura (309th), Izana (372nd), Hayato (413rd), Asugi (463rd), Yukimura (520th), Percy (538th), Hisame (557th), Ignatius (590th), Fuga (608th).

Excluding Keaton/Kaden though, they're ridiculously popular.

Heck, even Shiro (one of the bigger male kids) was 315th. Siegbert did even worse (448th).

Though, Orochi did much better in CYL2 (166th, compared to Fates-only where she was the worst female).

Wishful thinking but I hope they add older seasonal units (Spring Lucina, Xander, etc.) to the permanent pool sometime soon. They're not very meta and it makes no sense to run three seasonal banners at the same time by year 3 (current year + reruns of the previous two years).

That’s really not enough to be good against the vast majority of dragons you come up against in arena imo, especially when she is useless against them in the player phase.

Maybe against green dragons but any of the non-poo poo Falchion users seem better at it to me.

Depends how high her res is relative to her def after boost. If they're about equal you may as well stick with Glacies so you can proc it against mages.

because she will probably have like 20 def at base

Depending on her stats her kit she does have potential though.

i wonder how players would feel about like a rotating 5* pool per minor banner. like you get focus units and a specific set of off-focus 5*s but way too many to advertise as individual units. read the Details listing.

All of this got me thinking, as much as I want a FE7 and/or FE9 banner, when are we gonna get more characters from FE6 and FE15? Like, when was the last time we got a FE6 character not named Roy or Lilina?

Huh, the powercreep really did start with CYL2. Under most circumstances, I might as well run Atk/Res Solo instead of Deathblow 3 (I know there's a 4 now). And when Atk/Spd Solo inevitably comes out, then there's no reason to run LaD 3 (presumably we'll get LaD 4).

Eh, I don't think the solo skills are really powercreep since there are in fact plenty of situations where they are worse than DB3 (or LaD for that matter).

The attack up skill is powercreep.

I am very much expecting a skill refinery to come out in 3.0. These new Rally+ skills only reinforce that impression. An interesting side effect of a skill refinery would be the possibility of old characters getting new Prf skills instead of just weapons.

That Bephraim was literally my last 3 orbs. By some dark miracle, I got all four brave units in the nick of time before the banner exploded, and they don't have sucky natures.

Belica: Neutral (freebie)
Bephraim: +Atk/-Res
Bector: +Atk/-Def
Beronica: +Def/-Res

I've just realized that out of all the 23 GHBs the game has had, loving 15 of them have been Infantry.
    - 15 infantry GHBs
    - 5 Cavalry GHBs
    - 3 Flier GHBs
    - 1 Armor GHB
