I can't avoid filling a game with awful memes, even if I want to. It's in my bones...!

Retcon posted:

Now that I‘ve though about it a bit more, I may have overestimated how may dragons there actually are in the franchise. I really, really want Nah on my team though, she‘s funny and her support with Morgan is great.

The only obvious missing ones are Myrrh, Nah, technically Nils (he never stones or even dragon forms in his game, but if they did it for Ninian they can do it for him), Ena, Gareth, Nasir, and Kurthnaga, and that's it. It feels like there's a gap because Jugdral doesn't have traditional manaketes. There's a few more from Tellius we could get (Deghinsea is possible) but also the Tellius ones should have more laguz-like mechanics than normal stones.

There‘s also Nagi and Bantu from the Akaneaia games. If we‘re counting villains and NPCs, Mila/Duma, Idoun and Medeus are also options (though I can‘t remember if Mila and Duma had dragon stones), but these all seem pretty unlikely, even as GHB units.

What are the best (worst) uses for Wrath as an SI? I think I've only ever seen it listed for Sol Katti gimmicks.

I think Wrath might be the best aggressive B skill.

I hope we get a dragon villain GHB (or a tempest reward I guess) at some point.

I'd like a dragon I don't need to roll for.

The thing about dragon characters is it takes more resources to develop them than the average character due to requiring an entirely different character sprite.

That's probably why there's so few.

Especially since several dragons can just reuse the ones we have. Nils can use Ninian's, Nagi can use Y-Tiki, Nah can use Nowi/A-Tiki. The final boss dragons would require their own, but they'd probably be spread apart and would be ages before we see them. Bantu could probably just recolor Y-Tiki's but maybe he'd get his own. Tellius dragons just need one new sprite then recolor/resize as needed. I guess Yahn (Yan? Jhan? The exposition FE6 dragon) would get his own sprite, he seems like a safe GHB they can throw out for a rainy day.


also i know it'll never happen but i genuinely want to see them put in the nameless Fire Dragon final boss. Just give him the generic manakete human appearance from 6/the tcg and make a personality up whole cloth. Fun times for everyone!

Personally I haven't had any damage problems with my dragon team.

Aside from my -ATK Ninian who isn't exactly a damage dealer.

Who's Ninian? Probs some boring nerd from a Fire Emblem game before Awakening.

I wouldn't mind if my next 15 pulls were just Serena. AA would be much easier if all my bad lv40s had reposition and TA2.

Let's share ideas on how a game that made over $100 million can reuse adobe flash-quality sprites.

someone in here has a multimerge Fir, I don't remember whether it's 4 or 5 stars though

I honestly think that Fir would probably benefit more from Death Blow (Fierce Stance) than DC. She needs Attack way more than anything else. Give her a Wo Dao, Moonbow, and Wrath and she may be able to deal actual damage ever.

I feel like she wants to use her good res to bait and kill mages instead, since that's so unusual on a sword unit.

3 atk from killer to slaying isn't going to do much

I think fir can be a bit better than joshua for mage baiting since with +SPD her speed is high enough to not get doubled.
