Board 8 > Fire Emblem Heroes Discussion Topic Part 27: Still hoping for Resplendent Lloyd.

(+) Yeah! (+)

There's no reason not to make seasonal banners sparkable. Most players won't be spending money to the point where they have enough resources to spark on every banner anyway

November Calendar

https://twitter.com/FE_Heroes_EN/status/1325996672313417731

---

I wonder what characters we are getting on the FE6 banner. FE6 characters largely had lousy performances in CYL4.
---

Some nice skill banners this month.

Foil Skills

Julian (Close Foil, Lull Atk/Spd)
Midori (Close Foil, Spendthrift Bow, Dual Rally)
Rinkah (Distant Foil, Wrath)

Possible Spurn/Repel units

F!Kris (Spurn, Fury 4
M!Kris(Spurn, Joint Drive Atk)
Larcei(Repel, Atk/Spd Solo 3, Panic Smoke)
Fallen Ike(Repel, Darting Breath, Atk/Spd Oath)

Guaranteed red sharing is nice if you don't care which skill you get.

Infantry Pulse units

Nils(Even Pulse Tie)
Gerik (Firesweep Axe, Darting Blow 4, Sudden Panic)
Dorcas (Eh)

With two green units, green orbs actually exist. Also I didn't realize how many seasonals had Infantry Pulse. Granted this banner isn't as tempting if you haven't bought many Marisas yet.

How do you know it's FE6?

Too many bait banners >___<

IP really should be available at 4* by now

---

I'm not too familiar with FE6, who would be some GHB candidates?

Also curious about the next HoF and the Double Special Heroes banner(Finally, I can afford to spend on those if I want!) If they're not going Hoshido then either Toyko Mirage or Three Houses would be next down the list. TM is pretty set due to its small roster. Not sure if they'll go all four banner units, or Itsuki plus 3(Hopefully with the lone armor not tagging along).

Three Houses is probably gonna be Byleth + Pre-timeskip House Leaders, which is whatever.
(They could also put up all four TH GHB units up just to mess with us)

---

IP technically is on a 4*,,, but Geese is still a seasonal, so I imagine you mean "In the regular pool". Which it really should be.

As for the New Heroes being from FE6, it's not strictly a guarantee but the BHB being Lugh and Raigh strongly suggests it to be the case.

---

If it's FE6, some GHB candidates are Gale (Lance Flier) or Murdoch (Axe Armor).

---

Yup, I only know about Flowing Lance on Geese and didn't pay attention to the fact he also has IP. He really should be in the regular pool

Fandom reaction to Resplendent Lucina

---

Let's check in on Aether Raids right quick.....





---

Hell of a drug bonus season is.

(I didn't even give Ursula her Lull yet)

---

I don't use Lucina so I don't really mind...but wow

+50 Atk is something else. Poor Bramimond.

---

Pawns of Loki is out! It's actually pretty fun so far. Seems like getting a high score is pretty random depending on what Forma show up to be bought but maybe I'm not understanding something.

---

Not sure what to make of this new game mode, but it seems interesting enough.

Managed to free pull Hardin the other day. I don't really have anyone to give Bold Fighter to at the moment though.(Probably because I don't really use armors that much)

---

I threw a bunch of axe, sword, and lance units together with different movement type for it. I'm not really sure what is ideal yet.

Does Lif damage your allies in this mode? I was going to include him, but thought better of that

---

I don't see why he wouldn't. Surtr's 20 damage goes off

For this round, you maximize the multiplier by using a beast and dragon team, one color each, with different movement types mixed in. I'm lucky I can use someone's +10 NY!Lethe as I only have B!Nailah and she's not a cav

Savage Pain and Smoke's are great for this event. Round 2 is going to be REAL fun

---

lol damn, 7 defense wins in arena. Too bad I can't see how all of those went down.

(Also too bad I don't actually care about arena, but what's what happens when all your favorites are low BST and you have no maxed out legendaries!)

Dark Burdens won the FB revival and will be available sometime in January. Peony banner may have been eliminated.

---

what's the general consensus on healers atm? other than Brave Veronica, i don't really see any get mentions. i could see it being the case that you would rather have another high dmg unit or whatever.

looking for an A skill for my Lucius. options seem kind of lackluster but also i'm still not familiar enough with skills to know what's out there. healer limitations don't help -_-

i don't really have an idea or theme/team in mind. just trying to put a generally good/useful moveset.

currently:

Healers have their use. The problem is that very few of them have anything to stand out. Elise just got her refine so the hope is that other healers will slowly start getting refines as well.

I +10ed Mercedes because I like Mercedes, not because I needed a healer in particular.

Solo and Push skills are nice A skills for healers. Fortress skills(Def/Res preferred) are also nice if you're going tank build.

Also man, looking at my SI... looks like the dual skills (Kestrel/Sturdy/Mirror Stance) can't be given to healers at all. Where as they could at least learn up to Steady/Warding Stance 3.... before being unable to pick up 4 for whatever reason.`

---

Pawns of Loki made a new record in how quickly the community turned against it.


---

I'd like it better if it was a more traditional autochess and just had a general pull of units instead of pulling from your barracks. Instead it's just another mode where someone can roflstomp you with their uber-merged units from what I can tell.
---

Pulling your team from your brigade isn't too big a deal. Since one can borrow units from friends, even players like me can field powerful 5* exclusive +10 units with decked out skills.

It feels like the bigger problem is where the enemies come from. The enemies are strong to the point where one can load their brigade with +10s from friends and still get killed.
---

The main problem is how silly the enemies get. I borrowed several units to run a team with all bows and tomes today that got 10500 on intermediate. Advanced get quickly get out of hand though

---

Trailer!

https://youtu.be/RRZFzRdEdIc

GHB unit is Galle

4* unit is Merlinus

---

whoa official spelling of M'Lady

We finally get Close Def 4. I wish Athos came with Aureola first :(

Of course the mage is the star unit

---

Wyvern flight would be pretty nice for Minerva, and the mage seems good. But this will just be a free pull blue banner for me.

---

Man, what a great AR season for me.

Rank 25
Only lost -20 lift.(Out of 8 defense matches, I won 5 of them. and all but one of the loses the other side lost one unit)

I wish it was always this smooth. Man I love Ursula bonus week.
Just in time too because new mage counters her rip

---

This was one of my best too. Lost 120 lift, but hit tier 26. 9 defense matches with 3 wins. Not too bad for a defense team with pretty minimal effort put into it.

---

Why does this game insist on shitting free lance fliers? We get a unit with nice art but a crappy moveset with nothing new to offer. We really don't need more Brazen Atk/Def and OAW fodder.....

---

Valter was our first free lance flier and remains the only one with a unique weapon. He's received pretty good treatment with his new weapon and Wyvern Flight recently.

Travant getting silver lance in 2020 is a joke

---

PoL really did go to shit quickly. I'm using the recommended sword/lance/axe + dragons strategy and am still struggling to break out of T6. How can this mode be even worse than RB >____<

In more positive news, I free-pulled +Def B!Dimitri on the Form banner. This seems like a better one to keep than the neutral one

---

Dragons and mages have been working for me. I can score 10500 in intermediate with it which was pretty comfortably in T7. I found that it is worth it to always take the turn one mulligan and restart if you see duplicates of any weapon type.

---

so, story question because I'm somehow invested in this: How did they get back to askr in this most recent chapter with the horn? I thought a prior chapter established that because "alfonse" was actually the player, that blowing the horn would return them to the "City of Steel." So how did they get back to askr anyway? Or has that simply not been established yet, and the mystery of such is the hook for the next chapter?

I don't recall them saying that would send Kiran back to the World of Steel. Blowing the horn just didn't work because Kiran thought he was Alfonse. Although since Alfonse is alive in the real world, it's no longer clear how things ended up with Kiran thinking he was Alfonse.

Perhaps I am misremembering but I thougth the Horn was supposed to return the user to their home world, and that Kiran was dreaming of the world of steel because it is his home world (though he didn't realize it since he thought he was alfonse.) So I thought the reason the horn didn't work was because he was thinking of askr as his home world when it was really the world of steel. Him realizing that he was not alfonse I wouldn't think would change the fact that askr was not his home world, thus shouldn't have allowed the horn to work, unless I"m misunderstanding something.

These bonus fruit have really been great. I already have two of my four major projects with their IVs now.

Need to figure out what I want to do with Linus. He's still rocking old skills, and I want to figure out exactly what to give him. Fury 4 gives way more bulk for -1 Atk/Spd, but he kind of needs that for Galeforce build. Atk/Spd solo 4 would be nice... but I'd need to find a B slot because he typically haves Wings of Mercy to port to where Eliwood is.

(Granted with Impact refine and lull, Eliwood has trouble taking a lot of damage in melee anyway >_>)

Heavy Blade 4 would open up his seal slot, I just have to consider Atk powercreep and viable it is on a base 37 atk unit(+10 Makes that 41. Fruit gives him 2 more attack, flowers puts him up to 46).

Can give him Atk/Spd or Atk/Def lull if I don't go all in on speed with speed DR. His brother is a bit faster so I'm leaning towards the attack stat.

Odd Tempest would be amazing, but would require summoning and saccing a L!Dimitri when I'd like at least one copy to use. I'm sure the even variant will come out.

Otherwise Joint Drive Atk/Spd.

Meanwhile my Winter Jaffar is just chilling with a mostly 100% done build. Maybe find a spare Pulse Smoke. But he has three viable IV choices.


---

Oh, also Null Follow up in some sort of build I guess.

---

What are some of the best dragons right now? I have:
Tiki/Ninian duo
Male Grima
Fall Female Grima
Nagi
Naga
Dancer Ninian
Regular and Halloween Myrrhs
Duma
Along with the stock 3/4* like fae, f corrin, nowi, etc

Are there any not listed that are like top tier that I should go after? What units would work best for an all dragon team?

One of my favorite combos right now is duo tiki attack > dance > duo skill > attack > dance > attack
---

"Best" has a flexible definition. Depends on what you're looking for exactly.

I'm not much of a dragon expert but out of the ones you've listed...

Duo Tiki is certainly fantastic.
Male Grima has fallen off a bit but can still work with the right investment. I see some people recommend him with a Stance Skill, Special Fighter, and Glimmer.

Halloween Female Grima is probably fine.

Don't really hear much about Nagi.

Naga is basically just a score bot for Astra.

Ninian, as a dancer, will always be relevant. Sudden Panic and Infantry Pulse are skills to consider with her high hp.

OG Myrrh has a fantastic refine. Halloween Myrrh is probably still useable, but has fallen off.

Duma can work from what I've seen, but most people just have him as a lift loss reducer.

To name a few you didn't mention right quick.

The Fallen Corrins are on the stronger side. As is Legendary F!Corrin.

Ena looks like a good budget red(Once she's in the grail shop)

Fae recently got a refine that makes her a nice support.
Winter Sothis is still strong, just no longer pants on head stupid strong(That would be the Edelgards now.)


---

I haven't pulled the trigger on changing the nature for any of my grail units yet. Kronya and Minerva could switch to +atk and +spd respectively. Minerva is pretty plain right now though. Spd/Def Rein and Wyvern Flight are probably where I want to be with her. I'm leaning towards going in on Ninja Hana. I have DC, NFU, and Repel available to work with. Possibly Ruptured Sky if I choose to get rid of my only M!Byleth.

I think Nagi is still quite good out of the box. She just needs the Quick Riposte seal. Sothis is good too, and doesn't come with the anti-dragon weakness. She should be available again on this month's legendary/mythic banner. F!Tiki is probably still good, but not what she once was.

I agree that Fae is good to play support. Or you could put Hone and Fortify dragons on one of them to buff the team.

---

Thanks for the writeups DYL!
---

@Yankees, it probably pains you to know a player with a +10 SS D!Eph couldn't one-shot my +1 Thrasir and proceeded to get owned. DC in place of HB4 made all the difference :(

---

Distant counter feels like a waste on him although I can appreciate their dedication. It's probably a better idea to use him on light season. Every defense team has Thrasir and it's not surprising that won't end well.

---

That's a good point, but I just put him on my Astra team since if I swap him with Tibarn, it messes up the infantry formation and my Light infantry won't get Atk Tactic boost. I decided that it was finally time to stop wasting one too many Astra blessing a week to switch Tibarn back-and-forth since I'm running low

---

Tibarn has a chance of reappearing on the double special heroes banner tonight. I might give it a shot this time if he does return

---

I'm more focused on Duo Lyn right now. If the Mythic banner doesn't cost me too many orbs, I will go for her

---

Taking a look at the Double Special Hero banner right quick...

Red: Duo Byleth and Young Caeda

Both of these units are pretty bonkers. Fodder is solid as well. I'm a bit tempted to pull on red, even though I don't need either of these in paticular.

Blue: Trio Palla and Summer Ingrid

Palla is pretty amazing in Flier Emblem teams, but even without that being able to move 3 spaces on odd turns with her Duo Skill is pretty great. Ingrid is tied for fastest unit in the game(Actually, so are both reds). Guard Bearing can work with certain builds I believe? Both blues have an impact skill, so if you're looking for one of those and aren't too picky which one....

Green: Summer Selena and Summer Sylvain

Selena seems pretty strong, though I don't hear much about her. -6 Spd and Res on foes within 2 spaces is pretty wicked. Atk/Spd Push 4 is nice. Has a very rare Snag skill(If movement assist used by unit or if unit is targeted by one, -6 Spd/Res on nearest foe within 4 spaces of both unit and target)

Sylvain is the demote and thus has a 4* variant to him as well. Rouse Atk/Def 3 is nice. Melon Float is probably a meme, but has its uses.

Colorless: Summer Dorothea and Bridal Fjorm

Dorothea winks at you when she dances.

(Also Atk Cantrip and Hone Atk 4)

Bridal Fjorm.... I don't know if she's relevant with Milla having a harder to dodge isolation. Or as relevant rather.

I probably won't drop orbs on this but for me....

Red > Colorless > Blue = Green

Maybe a slight lean on green because I wouldn't mind Sylvain merges, but no one here is a priority.


---

I got two Byleths within 50 orbs. Both with speed banes so I will merge them. Windsweep with NFU on the weapon should be strong, and her duo skill allowing Trio Palla to attack four consecutive times is pretty cute although entirely unnecessary. Byleth was my target, but Caeda would have also been fine.

I want Lyn also, but I think I will let her go this time. Maybe when she returns on another banner.
