Board 8 > Fire Emblem Heroes Discussion Topic Part 26: Zola for CYL 5

(+) Yeah! (+)

Free-summoned Perceval! And just as I was looking at him right before and thinking he looks better than I thought. Too bad he doesn't have Sirius level Spd, but he's +Def/-HP, so he's pretty bulky. More broken infantry sword hate is always good. Sorry, Berkut, I still don't need you right now

---

why did they spell his name like that

Is it supposed to be spelled differently?

Also, cav dragonweed is the only one I always have a surplus of, so it's nice to have a new toy to spend some on

---

Percival is an actual name. I've never seen it spelled Perceval before. Kinda like Eirika vs Erika/Erica.

---

i think the old fan patches spelled it Percival which is the more common (?) spelling

just throws me off a little but one thing i love about feh is that it gives characters from older titles official localized names and new art

when's m'lady tho

i got a random friend request but his avatar was Mordecai

sorry buddy you not my friend, pal, or guy

Nasty Julia (with IP support from Nils) singled-handedly won me my last AR defense. Player had 8 turns due to Mila and had no trouble eliminating the rest of my team, then he could have won on turn 7 if he had sacrificed a unit to take down Julia, but decided to not attack her that turn and moved his units to the middle of the map, prompting Julia to follow suit and sit on a defense tile. Player then had Mila buff L!Alm, forgetting Julia laughs at all buffs, then Alm attacked Julia, charging her Glimmer and dying in return for 73 damage, and then he was out of moves. He was probably pissed. Nils couldn't have come at a better time and I made the right call by not swapping Glimmer with Iceberg even though there's IP support.

Julia faced five units fearlessly. She can't be stopped!!

New Mythic trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC8LWsJOg5o

Red: L!Ike, L!Roy, Altina
Blue: Fjorm, L!Tiki, FIora
Green: Thrasir, L!Edelgard
Colorless: Eir, Fallen F!Corrin, Leila

Huh. Guess it wasn't de-confirmed.

---

Hel was bound to make it in eventually. I'm not looking forward to dealing with her in aether raids

---

Green and colorless are both stacked, but I guess green has the edge here and I'd also like to +10 Edel one day

---

Yeah she is going to be super annoying to fight. But on the other hand, I'm glad it's her, because it means I can save orbs for next month.

---

Decided I was just going to pull the greens on the first circle. Actually got three of them, and the first was a L!Edelgard(+Spd/-Def seems like an awful "nature", but oh well)!

I got lucky on the revival banner a few days back as well, getting myself a free +Atk Elise. Now if only I could decide on which boon to go with(Other two have +Spd and +Res. Though, the latter probably falls out of favor with ploys no longer being meta.)


---

That Edelgard will do just fine. Atk is the most important stat anyway. I thought about going in for more Edelgards, but I'll wait on her next banner before committing. I have over 800 orbs now so I think I need about twice as many for a reasonable chance to finish her.

---

Spent under half my orbs and got another dupe Corrin, two Ladleguard's, and Fjorm. Merged a Corrin into my +Spd one to get rid of the -Atk bane, and one of the Edel is +Atk, so of course I merged into her. At +3 now. No Hel this time

Meanwhile, they take forever with the update notifications

---

I was half right on the refines. No red is unexpected and I didn't expect them to double dip, but not a bad thing at all because we'll finally get to see Cecilia's refine. It's really sad how every tome refine these days has to use "tome" in the name. Hoping Shiro gets Sturdy Stance 2.5/3 because that's what he needs

---

Nice haul, barrel. Shiro used to be my most common pity breaker. Hopefully he will get something good

---

Thanks! People are right though that he needs something amazing to not be inferior to Lukas in every way, so he really needs a Guard refine

---

I suffered 2 Shiro pitybreaks, so hopefully something to make that less painful.

If Cecelia's refine is good enough I may have to +10 my old 4*+10 one that's currently doing nothing.

Looking forward to getting this month's Divine Codes. Tana merge and armor slaying for W!Jaffar.

---

I also have a 4*+10 Cecilia with Gronnblade+ and she served me well enough when I was using cav line to clear content. Hoping she gets a stronger niche with her refine

Guidance is much better used as a seal and Tana doesn't have anything else to offer as fodder or a merge, so I will pass on her

---

Feh channel!

---

Bernie on hero fest. Are you ready?

I knew it was only a matter of time for Duo Xander and Veronica

---

So for the breakdown....

Pirate Theme Special Heroes

Tibarn
Brigid
Geese (Likely 4*)
Harmoinic Heroes Veronica and Xander
Darros (TT+ unit)

Starts on 8/7

Update Info

QoL for taller screens. Empty spaces now contain info such as how many codes you have or which turn it is during battle(And how many you have on turn limit maps), as well as items you have in Resonate Battle(For... anyone who cares about that mode?).

Arena is getting new maps. All of them have at least one defense tile. While there's no talk of map removal, hopefully they use this as an excuse to never use the double wall map again.

And lastly, summoning pool changes!

Gen 2 heroes are getting the Thantos snap from the summoning pool. These heroes are..

Red: Siegbert, Leif, Zelgius, Lene, Mage Eirika, Karla, Fallen Celicia, Flying Olivia, Horse Chrom, Brave Celica, Swordhart,

Blue: Shiro, Micaiah, Ishtar, Sumia, Morgan, Brave Hector

Green: Rhajat, Kana, Flying Nino, Myrrh, Grima, Brave Ephraim, Olwen

Colorless: Hinoka, Maribelle, Veronica

They'll be getting revival banners of course. I believe they're going to be alongside the gen 1 revival banners?

CYL 2 Heroes will also be getting refines. They don't tell us exactly what they do in the video, but Celica appears to heal after after she defeats an enemy. She also gains a special charge afterwards, which activates her Galeforce in the video. So healing + special charge? Ephriam heals 7 damage every time he attacks. He likely does more, but what is uncertain at this time.

They'll likely go over it in the next Feh channel, scheduled mid August.

Feh's Summer Celebration

3 and a half anniversary. We know how most of this works now.

Login Bonus for up to 20 orbs, as well as 60 of each flower and grails.

Reward maps, clear normal and hard mode for 10 maps for up to 20 orbs.

Daily Bound Hero Battles. Some BHB maps are a day or so, some of them give orbs.

Summer Celebration quest which gives up to 10 orbs, 100 grails, 120 Divine Codes(1) and... 10 coins.

Total orbs from all of these are 55. So I guess 5 of the BHB gives orbs?

Daily summoning focus revivals, so lots of free pulls(Or your chance to get a particular hero)

Hero Fest!

8% Focus. Summon pool changes start with this banner.

Red: Sothis
Blue: Duo Ephriam
Green: Nagi
Colorless: Bernadetta

We also get 5 free summon tickets just for logging in, and thankfully all at once. This banner will also replace the old Starter Hero Fest banner for new summoners(Previously the units were Tibarn, Nailah, Surtr, and Fallen Tiki).
lol inviting new players

Reward Rundown

60 Flowers
160 Grails
10 Sacred Coins
120 Divine Codes(1)
19 free summons
55 orbs.

Overall, looks solid. Of course this is coming right before the CYL 4 units are released so... keep that in mind if you're waiting for one of those.

Bernie on hero fest. Are you ready?

I have nowhere near enough orbs to get 7 more copies, but I'm absolutely excited about summoning for her again!
Nina can still pitybreak me and that terrifies me.

The August Tempest Trail+ does begin in the middle of all of this, so there's more orbs to be collected from there.

Also looking forward to what the CYL2 refines are, though I won't be actively summoning for Veronica or Brave Hector for a very long time most likely. With Flying Nino on a late revival banner, that's something I'll have to keep in mind as well. Bernie is still priority #1 though, but it can get hard to save and save and save and never summon for anything....

---

Certainly didn't expect two Feh Channels this month, and some nice surprises were found. It seemed like they weren't going to remove anymore 5* exclusives, and I'm glad I was wrong on that. Some of them are nice pitybreakers, and some aren't. I was also wrong on us getting CYL2 refines already. IS isn't as predictable as we'd like to think they are, and I thought only Celica really needs a refine. Now that Veronica is getting a refine, I hope this paves the way finally for further staff refines!

A Pirate themed banner, but no Dart in sight. What a wasted opportunity even though I get these are supposed to be alts

As for Hero Fest, I expected red to be Larcei/Mareeta/Julia. Nice that we get another chance to get Duo Eph already, but I don't know if I'll have enough orbs to try to grab another one

---

I also thought we'd see one of those three for red. Julia might have gotten some orbs from me. Eph/Nagi are a little tempting, but CYL is around the corner and L!Dimitri can't be too far off.

I am looking forward to those refinements. Celica would be quite strong with a special spiral effect and healing as they teased

---

Imagine Veronica getting a Dominance refine. Would be sick, but probably too good to be true

---

Most of the tickets they gave us today were giving me a bunch of healers and other junk - but then the last one gave me Bernie! Except she's -SPD. Typical. I feel like her art makes her look too young, too, but whatever, it's a free copy of a character I like.

Actually, I decided to pull the other colorless orb in the middle of typing this, and...

https://i.imgur.com/cRGiVd6.jpg

Awesome. I think that's the first time this sort of thing has happened to me, and I've played since launch. The second one is +HP/-RES, so now I have to decide if I want to use the first one for fodder, since she has some pretty nice skills she can pass on. I now sorta regret spending all of my ~200 orbs on the Mythic banner now, after seeing Tibarn's reveal, as well, but I wasn't expecting another laguz unit. I swear this happened last time, too, where I saw a seasonal banner was up next, figured it was nothing good, then it turns out to be Lethe and Selkie. I'm definitely not going to spend any money to try to get him, but I really hope I can get lucky before his banner ends.

---

Congrats. Similar thing happened with me. Free pulled Ephraim with the last ticket. Decided to open the last blue. Another Ephraim, this time +Atk. Sometimes it works out.

I now have five total, and is quite possible I could +10 him if I wanted to spend all my orbs. Hmm...

---

Apparently, you can still be pity broken by the units they meant to remove from the pool on this hero fest banner. If you're planning to summon, wait.

The FEH Channel was confusing to me. It said the the summoning pool changes applied to New and Special Heroes banners (like the previous time they removed 5* units from the pool). Afterwards they said the changes started with the Hero Fest banner which is neither a New nor Special Heroes banner. I just assumed that the FEH was wrong but I guess the summoning pool changes were supposed to apply to the Hero Fest after all.
---

That's impressive, Yankees. I pulled neither Eph nor Bernie. Maybe I should have focused solely on blue to conserve some orbs

Wonder if they even plan on compensating people who got pitybroken on Hero Fest and how they would go about it

---

i got Katarina and Bernadetta with my tickets

buuut i also spent orbs on the Mythic banner because "wow 8% even if i don't suuuper care about these guys, i've been getting pretty early 5s lately, it shouldn't take that long."

now at 9.5%

this was clearly a mistake

if the old hero stuff is an ongoing issue, why is the banner still up? shouldn't it be like temporarily disabled before more people spend their shit??

also wondering if there will ever be post-timeskip 3H units since they alllll look way better then except like...Ferdinand

Legendary Edelgard already uses her War arc design. The upcoming Brave Heroes banner with the CYL winners will also have 4 characters that use their War arc version. Although, they won't necessarily be wearing their war arc outfits from the game since CYL characters usually wear something new.
---

Oh geez, looks like I'm holding off on the Hero Fest banner.

Not that it matter for me. I've pulled almost exclusively gen 1 3-4*s thus far. If you're going to give me 5 Lissas, at least give her a refine. Pulling a Mist or a Rhajat would probably invoke a ragequit though.

Another year, another Hero Fest scam.

---

That hurt to read. Hopefully you can get one with all the new orbs coming in. The 'fix' to this banner makes it a lot more tempting to summon.

---

Hero Fest took way more orbs than I would have liked, but I got the outcome I wanted. I feared each time there was no blue, but luckily, didn't get "pitybroken." Got my third +Atk Duo Eph, and what was in the last colorless orb in the same circle? +Atk Bernie!

Now I probably have to forgo new Tibarn if I want to save orbs for CYL :(

Tibarn powercreeping himself is both funny and sad

---

I'm going to have to pass on Tibarn also, but I'm happy you got what you wanted.

I went all in to get the last six copies of Duo Ephraim. I got :

Ephraim
Ephraim
Ephraim
Micaiah (Ephraim)
Lute (Ephraim)
Sirius
Corrin Dream Prince
Altena (why)
Ephraim
Laegjarn (completing last circle)

It took 250 orbs to get the last copy. All in all, 480 orbs spent to get eight Ephraims from this banner. It would have been nice to get a Time's Pule for him or an extra HB4 for Edelgard, but I think I'm done here.

---

Congrats! He's definitely worthy of being your first 5* exclusive, but didn't you say you already had five copies?

---

Thanks. I had three copies entering the banner. Free tickets and picking a couple blues with those tickets got me two. So, I got two within the first 8-12 orbs, and the final six today. It went as well as I could have reasonably hoped for.

---

New trailer is up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUcLWIwa_h0&feature=youtu.be

---

Ughhh I want New and Better Tibarn

---

Four unit colorless without sparking though. I like Tibarn, but I'm happy with the one I have. He's still very good.

---

Man that Tibarn is crazy. I think this is the first time in a while that the "star" of the banner (last unit revealed) isn't the obviously best unit on it.

---

I need another Tibarn so I don't have to constantly waste a blessing every week to switch him from Light to Astra and back. Running low on those blessings

---

I guess the question is will any CYL unit be even more broken than Tibarn. I hope not

---

CYL always brings the power creep, so don't expect them to be modest.

---

And I'm realizing Dive Bomb is a little too restrictive :(

CYL last year was tame in bringing powercreep

One more post left!
