Also, hey, 5 orbs, why the gently caress not? Let's pull another green orb and see what happens. The planets might align and I'll get another Bunny Camilla to merge with my perfect IV'd Bunny Camilla that is 200 SP away from being the change I want to be etc etc.

Another 5* Bunny Chrom. +SPD/-RES, the perfect IVs. Another 5* bunny unit with perfect IVs. I think this game is telling me I must drop my inner Nino/Eirika/Anna obsession and embrace my inner bunny.

Fat loving chance, but I appreciate the bullshit-luck random 5* unit.

i can't use ursula because my blue slot is used by mounted effie, aka sully, who is a great husbandwaifu

i also loved effie telling me she drinks her own body weight in milk every day, thats some terry crews level of calorie sustainment

Maybe her Def would be higher if she focused more on lower body & core instead of upper body show muscles and her emotions?

so far my DEATHFFIE is Brave Lance +, Pivot, Sol, Deathffie Blow 3, Wary Fighter 3, Threaten Attack 1. She pretty much kills everything apart from Hector in Arena, it's great. Effie is my friend, and is real.

I'm thinking it's this and maybe not the arena changes, yeah.

Man, I loving love it. I know people rag on the western adaption of her character, but her saying "Nothing is stronger than my love for you... except my biceps" during her confession was loving ace and I will fite anyone who says otherwise.

I'm afraid to ask, but what was she like in Japanese, then? Because I agree Effie is amazing and one of the few unequivocally good characters in Fates.

She was in no way the muscle-head she's depicted as in the western version. Think more of a soft-spoken gentle-giant type.

IMO, it's okay, just awfully generic.

It's basically just a voice type change. Her mannerism and dialogue are basically the same, except she she had a higher, more wispy voice to contrast the actual words and the english went in the opposite direction.

A lot of the voicework direction in fates was really bad, because the actors straight up just got like a paragraph of their characters' description before recording.

I don't really have a take either way but the voice really doesn't seem to fit the look, it's super jarring. I haven't played any fire emblem games outside of the one on the GC and the GBA games

So in japan it's this blonde babyface with a soft voice that talks about gains and lifting?

Has anyone tried a vanilla 5* Selena (not the ultimate Selena that one guy was running) in arena yet? Mine is - def/+res, so I'm not sure if she can trade with Hector without dying, and she can maybe survive some Julia shots but may still get hosed up by Nino (though I didn't see much Nino on defense teams last week).
I could invest some skills into here but she honestly doesn't seem that good unless I completely rework her.

Edit: specifically can she take down a vantage Hector because they're all over the place

Finally got all the bunnies :toot: Is there something interesting I can do with an +ATK/-HP Bunnycina? Blárblade+ is the first thing that comes to mind, but I already have a Nino/Eirika/Azura core team that I can slot an arena bonus unit into, so that seems like a waste of feathers.

With a Nino/Eirika/Azura team you don't need anything. Just upgrade and improve the units you like.

Blarblade+ Bunnycina, Olivia, and Light Breath Fae for whenever you're feeling up for a change of pace?

She's a sword lord with Armorslayer, and Triangle Adept by default, if she didn't murder the absolute poo poo out of Hectors then this game's balance is absolutely meaningless.

Yeah, guess I'm still in the mindset of wanting to min-max everything, but that kind of stops having a meaning once you have an arena team that can easily breach 4500+.

So, does the buff from Light Breath work with Blade tomes? The wording makes me think it does, but I'm not 100% sure.

Read the patch notes. There's going to be minor skills like speed+1 that will be given out in various ways and which you can equip to characters.
