So, Lilina is Red Ophelia on a horse. There's another unit to look forward to on cavalry Aether Raids defense teams. Plumeria is the one I want most, but I'm not sure if I want to pull on this.

Tharja, Fae, and Duo Ephraim are good enough to fluctuate between 19 and 20 for me.

I'm amazed people were able to predict Lilina, and I actually never noticed the legendaries switch off on gender. I certainly expected Micaiah and Camilla before Lilina, but holy shit, this banner is stacked to high hell

Red: Plumeria and Lilina are great, and Reginn is good fodder in addition to being a great unit
Blue: Another Peony for any potential future Light setups, another Dimitri merge couldn't hurt, and Fighter fodder for Effie
Green: Everything is good
Colorless: Everything is good

Lilina was not predictable in any way. I get this feeling there's a datamine that was only accessible to a small portion of the fanbase.

Prior to the trailer I was thinking 70% Lilina, 25% BylethF, 5% someone else. My final call was Lilina:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/204447-fire-emblem-heroes/79193637/948656475

There aren't that many options for a female, Fire Legendary using a Red weapon. Since we just got Dimitri, the scales tipped heavily in favour of Lilina over Byleth. There isn't really a good third option so everyone else combined is the 5% chance out of nowhere pick. Legendary Camilla or Micaiah wouldn't have a Red weapon. Caeda, Tsubasa and Ninian won't be a Fire Legendary.

So Lyn being a green bow was an exception, huh? It's normally pretty easy to guess the legendary's color, I guess, but how did people know it was Fire's turn? I don't even remember the legendaries before Dimitri. Also, how are you so certain Caeda, Tsubasa, and Ninian wouldn't be Fire?

After a new Legendary hero is released, the next few weeks have that element as part of the season. From the datamine we knew that the next few weeks are Fire so we knew it was going to be a Fire Legendary.

Tsubasa uses Lances and Wind magic in TMS so she's almost certainly going to be a Wind Legendary. Caeda is likely Wind as well but this is more based on my personal opinion. Ninian will be Water since that goes with ice. At the very least Ninian will never be Fire.

That's good for improving overall quality of the Legendary/Mythic banners(Most of them being on the banner meant that color was DOA), but I wonder if they're going to do anything with those older units in the future....

It definitely makes the upcoming banners look better, but there's got to be some way to obtain them moving forward. They can keep Duo Ephraim company for now.

Also, I have to say that Resplendent Eldigan looks really good

The in game notes for the legendary/mythic banners always state when the next time each unit on the current banner will appear again. That's how those calendars are made.

In this case, the notes essentially unannounced the previous rerun dates we were given for Gunnthra, Ryoma, Hector, etc.

It got changed. If you look at the notifications regarding the Legendary Banner(Which is usually skipped over by people who aren't looking out for a specific one to be fair)

"When these eight Heroes last appeared, their next appearance was scheduled; however, we are now looking into rescheduling their next appearance"

The eight legendaries being

Lyn
Fjorm
Ike
Hector
Gunnthra
Ephraim
Robin
Ryoma

https://i.redd.it/lowrbw1yda761.png

Additionally, it looks like Sothis isn't coming back anytime soon since she apparently doesn't show up at all for the entire first half of 2021. At least, not from current projections.

...and this banner is different. It seems like some of the old New Years units will be on this banner as well.

NY!Anna
NY!Selkie
NY!Lethe
NY!Alfonse

6% rate
2% Non focus

The 4* this year is Kaden
Free unit is Keaton

NY packs never have anyone I want so, Velouria and Plumeria?

1% higher focus rate, but four extra units. This sounds like it will be even rougher to get the unit you want here.

The duo dance skill is nice, but I can pass on this.

You're right, I misread that. That's not so bad then. Kinda lame that new way the pity mechanic works will reset to the default if you pull one of the old focus units you were probably not targeting

This new way of doing seasonal banners sounds like a bad deal. There was no reason to change the old, and I guess beast NY units is the new trend. Too soon for Plumeria alt. Blazing Blade really got snubbed this year >:(

My big concern is they won't increase the 4* Focus rate on future banners. The 4* Focus rate getting divided in half is a huge hit to how much is costs to get the 4* Focus unit.

Happy New Year!

I got +Atk/-Spd NY!Laevatein and a dupe DuoFonse. That's a bit of an awkward IV mix for Laevatein, but she seems like a good support unit. I actually got both of my DuoFonse's for free. Saving the dupe for now in case I need the fodder. Unmerged DuoFonse is already very good, and I certainly didn't expect to get two free focus units at once!

As for the Mythic banner, I've gotten +Atk Lilina and dupe Duma so far. My -Atk Duma really needs a merge, but I want to save a copy in case I ever want to run double Duma for the lolz. Going to dip "into the bank" as DYL calls it to take advantage of the banner

I need to go back to saving orbs again as well, although the Fallen Banner rerun is this month I believe so 135ish orbs to spark a Fallen Julia is probably something I'll be doing.

Looks like they heard you!

So quick breakdown for 5.10

Vault of Heaven

New tiers for Aether Raids, from 29 to 38. Anyone who reaches Tier 27-28 in the previous season starts there(Tier 31) Anyone who reaches the top of the Vault starts the next season in T 31. Below that and you start in Tier 23.

Same basic rules but you get an additional +10 lift if no one dies(So much for that "freebie death" eh?).

This means nothing to a drifter like me. Hopefully this gets the tryhards away form the lower ranks, but we'll see how it goes.

Divine Codes

Hot Springs Ryoma and Myrrh are the 5*s.

Eliwood, Oscar, Altena, Barst, and Fae are the 4*s.

Refines

Arden
Genny
Bownoka
Lewyn

I don't have him built, but I'm curious what Arden will get. Genny as well.

Additional AR updates...

We get 3 blessings from dailies now instead of 1. Cool.
Defense maps increase from 5 to 15, not to be mistaken for
Panic Manor level 8... for whatever had enough hp to ignore level 7?

Dokkalfar Briar level 5 for Mjolnir's Strike.

Pawns of Loki

(I almost didn't bold this...)
Enemy combos slightly reduced from turns 4-6. We'll see if that makes a difference. Map skip animation added to this mode as well.

Grail Shop

Hana and Galle added.

And some minor other stuff.

AR changes don't mean much to me either, but i'll take the free merge on Myrrh. Refines on Bownoka and Lewyn are nice, and I'll be raising Hana to +10 with this update.

Haven't gone all out for a banner since forever. With free orbs I farmed, I got a +Spd/-Res Plumeria and I think the last circle before I bought orb packs got me BEdelgard and Gatrie dupes. Then I got two Brami's and another BEdelgard. Tempted to keep going in the hopes of getting Celica, but have to stop somewhere. This game doesn't want me to have NFU green mages since I couldn't get Y!Merric either

Reginn with her default kit and GF finally got me to T20 in MS. I thought the scoring was based on the highest scoring unit in each pair, but seems like the Mythic also influences it, but now that my Brami is +1, the Dark score is still the same, so I'm not sure how it all works

i am getting more points than i've ever gotten now with Freyja + Eir + Peony, but still not T20 because everything until today was auto-dispatch. Reginn wouldn't affect the score right now, would she? unless you meant you hit T20 last week.

oh wait i'm dumb you were talking about Mjolnir's Strike. i still don't understand how that works tbqh, i kill everything and still can't get above 18.

MS does take your highest scoring unit of each pair, however the primary mythic of the season is treated as if it had 10 extra merges as far as I know. I usually float between 18 and 19 and don't have many merged mythics.

Grats on getting Sara, she looks like she can set up a LOT of shenanigans.

Free pulls didn't give me anything, so I think I'll save up for the upcoming Fallen Banner rerun. That said I'd also like to spark on the 2020 Winter banner once more, 17 more pulls and I can grab a second W!Altina, or perhaps Sephiran.
