Fire Emblem Heroes

Goddamn. My loyalty to Reinhardt demands I snipe green, but... I really want Ishtar and Berkut too. Guess I'll have to dump a lot of orbs here and hope for the best.

I'm sure people are sick and tired of the sight of Reinhardt.

Only Julius.

Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives all the same. And now it is here. Or should I say, Camilla is.

When it comes to air-to-air warfare, apparently it's all about who's got the bigger balloons.

Now you see, kids, this is why Reinhardt won't ever win a CYL. Not because he's busted or annoying, but because it's redundant to make him a "Brave Hero" when every single version of him already has a Brave prf weapon!

It's also kind of hilarious how now Reinhardt and Olwen make up ~45% of Thracia's roster in Heroes. What a pair of siblings

YES! I won a voting gauntlet, and it was my second one. Now if you excuse me i'm going to see the salty reaction to Camilla winning.

Well, Spectral Yune will certainly enjoy the chaos.

Again, voting gauntlets are pretty much a coin flip. They're designed to be swingy and a little unpredictable.

...Micky still won when it counted.

The only time it counted is if she beat Camilla.

And she didn't! Boo Micaiah! Boo!*Throws Popcorn* Boo!

It counts when she gets an extra unique skill on her Brave alt.

Camilla coming into Micaiah with a vengeance. Not that I'll ever forgive voting gauntlets for letting Barst beat Tibarn.

So happy Reinhardt and his sister have more units than all of the rest of Thracia combined. This isn't sarcasm; I think it's genuinely hilarious and good.

I guess Reinhardt and Ishtar are meant to be a pair here.

And eyyy, we finally get the Verdandi lance. How long has it been since Flying Olivia?

An Ishtar alt right after Legendary Julia... it's going to take more than that for me to turn back into a whale Feh.

Tempting as she is, I have no orbs, and I need to start saving anyway in case Farfected Heroes 3 has Jill on it.

Speaking of which, who are all of the characters most likely for "Farfetched Heroes 3" as of right now?

I think we figured it out once, and the two highest-ranking men who aren't in the game yet were distressingly low on the ranking.

For women, it would be Awakening Anna (5th place) and vanilla Louise (23rd place). If you exclude Anna for Anna-ish reasons, up next would be Jill (52nd place).

For men you have to dig way deeper. Conrad (84th place) and Nils (85th place).

Holy hell, these new refines. Suddenly, I want to build Eliwood as a Galeforcer again (Special Fighter and Steady Impact). Ike is going to be insanely durable. Mulagir is kind meh. Lucina's is good, but not too stupid.

I'm honestly surprised there were no DC weapons.

Especially Urvan.

Really wanted Brave Ike to get DC, but being able to force enemies to activate Urvan's base effect is nice enough. Brave Roy's sword gets a huge boost compared to everyone else's. Lucina seems good if you have a pure melee team.

Mugalir feels like a basic stat bump up. I guess it might be better than a Brave Bow now but it doesn't really address why it makes people drop Mugalir for Firesweep.

Edit:I'm aware the first hit reduction is there too, I'm just saying it's actually a pretty clever way to get more use out of Urvan's base effect.

It's not just forcing Urvan's base effect, though. The first hit is -40% damage, so B!Ike has a very strong defense. He can just face tank L!Alm and not give a shit.

Thinking about it some more, Lucina's actually a pretty good mega tank support in Aether Raids. A lot of the non-dragon tanks include the likes of Surtr, Fjorm and Caineghis, all of which benefit from her bonus. Mind, M!Corrin is still technically the better hard support, but he requires Ally Support committment and thus can only buff one tank per season.

EDIT: Oh, and being able to double down on Aether matches is a nice time saver. As much as I like taking on Aether Raids, the forced pacing is annoying and this helps cut down on that.

Nino was already killing BIke in two hits with no counter, so this changes nothing.

Good for him though.

She might have a little more trouble with 40% and 80% reduction together. Regardless, while B!Ike's refine can be used for defense teams controlled by the AI, his greater potential lies in the hands of the player. He still needs to be afraid of Blazing Pulse shenanigans, but with even nominally stacked defensive stats, he has the potential to be a very strong mega tank in Aether Raids.

I just realized that the only thing that can bring Fallen Tiki out of her funk is Vocaloid Tiki.

No, I mean it literally changes nothing since without DC she was getting the two consecutive hits anyway. She will deal the exact same damage as before.

Just realized that I fed Blucina to somebody awhile ago for Aether. (Her IVs were garbage.)

Kinda mad at myself.
