I'm not sure some of those beast units are all that popular really. People just have a habit of going way overboard when demanding what they want (in this instance, the introduction of beast units).

Well, that's just it - you can't. Mercs isn't a perfect strategy game. It isn't chess where action X will always have outcome Y. An absolutely integral part of it is voting to decide which team wins, and you can't regulate people's opinions and prejudices. The best you can do is restrict suspect voting and that's difficult to prove.

Ultimately what I'm saying is, trying to give people incentive not to forfeit just leads to players abusing that system. If there was a happy solution to limiting the number of forfeits, someone through four games would've found it by now. The truth is that most fights in most weeks are over before they reach topic because of an inherent unbalance of power between teams. In an ideal world teams would stay evenly matched for longer, but over the course of a season you will always get strong teams and weak teams, unless you artificially add rubber banding. Elimination matches in Mercs 4 attempted this, but people abused that too. Your proposal is like a less extreme version of this, but also easier to exploit with casual voting alliances to achieve 30%.

I don't wish to send negative, just offering a dose of realism that you're trying to solve a problem that only exists aesthetically. Having lots of forfeits looks bad but that happens as a matter of course. Topics featuring mismatches look even worse.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but thinking people won't try and game your carefully constructed systems due to honour or fear of retaliation is just plain naive. Particularly from someone who bragged about the voting bloc he was part of in Mercs 4. Or think tank. Ultimately it's the same thing.

To be fair, SCII era Lizardman was just another sword and shield user too (not that people likely would have complained if he'd just been like his SCV iteration).

Grh has elements of his playstyle reminiscent of Setsuka, but that's the closest we've got to her at the moment.

A red tome flier was one of the big things I've been missing, plus I like Aversa to boot, so this is a pretty nice update for me.

@Lopen I imagine the answer is no on principle regardless, but would you consider trading Serra and/or Matthew's A slot for the new colourless infantry duel skill? Two +10 170 BST units would score very nicely, and the current scoring system wants you to secure kills on bonus units anyway, I guess.

I got my collector's edition from Bandai-Namco's own store, which arrived on time and has a nice shiny silver Sophitia statue.

Speaking of which, work is over so it's game time!

The Halloween banner was very stingy with me. It took until 4% and 4.75% pity rates to pay out the two 5*s it gave me, although they were a +Atk -Spd Myrrh and +Atk -HP Kagero so at least they were worth it (shame about the superbane dropping Kagero a BST tier though).

Now begins my great orb spending abstention. Hopefully I can resist until Ophelia reappears, although a really nice seasonal and/or something like a Nohrian Noble Corrin (f) alt might make that difficult!

Shantae and Nep both have fervent and dedicated enough fanbases to prevent them being turbofodder, although they're still going to look awful due to the opponents they drew. Cayde is by some distance the most "who cares" entrant for this site, who's unlikely to get rallied.

My guess is that they were prioritising a roster with distinct movesets for the base game, which explains the lack of derivative characters like Cassandra, Rock and Amy (although why there's no Hwang/Yun-seong is anyone's guess). I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Cassie in the first wave of DLC.

It's the same roster as 2, minus Cassandra, Yun-seong, Charade, the guests and the generics, and plus Zasalamel, Tira, Geralt and Groh.

My copy is apparently being shipped from France so I'm not holding out hope of an early delivery tomorrow, but super excited for Friday! Got a feel for Kilik, Groh and Tira during the network test but excited to finally play Raphael and Mina.

Got a free Quan from today's new banner. He's neutral, so there's nothing wrong with him, but he may still end up as SI fodder given the +6 Silas in the room.

Think Lightning/Hope/Fang is probably the strongest since it covers all bases and double commando is always very good


This is closest to a 'correct' answer for a regular playthrough for the reasons given. The best team is pretty much Lightning, Fang and one other; although adding Snow to those two makes it a little lopsided unfortunately as he overlaps a little too much. Lightning is just unquestionably the best character in the game (since she's the fastest), and Fang covers the other essential bases, namely a strong Sentinel with other utility.
