Robin, Chrom and Lissa have fine designs
They just didn't need to be armors. I Guess Chrom could get a pass with the heavy toy sack being like spooky Jakob having an iron ball

... gently caress I want all of them

Both as units to use in an Armor team with my BK, Amelia, Effie, and Henry and to give someone Vengeful Fighter

Nothing exciting to see here. Move along.
Maybe they're all armors because they all (well, most) wear winter clothes that covers a good deal of their body to make them resistant to winter weather so a parallel can be drawn to armor units being covered in armor that's resistant to weapon blows?

(+ The way Chrom and Robin's coats look make them look a bit like the usual armors.)

I missed it, does Christmas Robin's tree spear have built-in DC because if so I need him

Effie owns but is the only person on my armor squad without some sort of distant counter on her

No, it gives +2 to all stats but Health if foe initiates battle

But it’s also 14 mt so I think you can give it to Effie

No. With Armor March 3 and Brazen Atk/Spd 3 (+7 to both stats in combat if his HP is above 80), he seems built as an armor who can take the offensive and still do ok on the defensive thanks to his weapon (+2 to all stats if foe initiates combat). I'm going to guess that his Atk and Spd will be fairly high, and it'd be neat if he also had a good Res.

SgtSteel91
Oct 21, 2010

I think his res will be average or below average to give him a counter

Or his atk and speed will be low and gets good after going below 80%

Brazek ATK/SPD 3 gives him a buff if his HP is BELOW 80% not above, which is quite a bit worse (for most units)

Many of the better units in the game are really old so it's not like new units are always just straight up better than old units

Oh. Nevermind.

Yes, but that's because there are so many old units. For every Nino and Reinhardt there are 8 Nileses, Berukas, Clarines, etc. New units generally seem to be targeted at competing with the premier heroes rather than the random benchwarmers.

Beruka actually has an alright niche in being the tankiest flier around

I kinda get why Chrom and Lissa got alt versions.

Lissa for axe memes and Chrom because regular!chrom is super average and just got overcrept by Soleil and spring!chrom is mediocre.

I wouldn't be surprised to see an Oboro/Niles alt soon.

I mean, Clarine was my favorite healer that I had access to for a long time because her mixed bulk is surprisingly decent and worked well with martyr, but that doesn't mean she's a conventionally good hero. Just about every hero has a theoretical niche

But Beruka's niche isn't theoretical at all since a tanky flier is actually something worthwhile to have.

Before weapon refinement I would have rated her potentially better than Michalis, who is also alright. Woclere kind of changes things but she is still the tankiest flier.

I dunno, there haven't really been any groundbreaking mages in a long time since maybe S!Corrin or Delthea. Lute, Arvis and Rhajat were alright but nothing earthshattering.

Well you could say PA!Inigo I guess.

speaking of delthea what do i put in her B slot

also i have a 4* tailtiu now so should i stick drive speed 2 in her C slot? she's got hone speed 3 as her seal

I knew I forgot someone. An armor mage was something new though.

Lute and Delthea are also pretty much the same as far as stat lines go. Assuming both are using their unique tome, Lute has a +1 SPD and a few res over Delthea

Rein is on Horse Emblem; Tailtiu is on blademage squad; Lute is on my current Arena core (along with Olivia, BLyn, and good ol' Tharja) because she's that good at both player-phase annihilation and Res tanking.

Still considering giving Lute Blarblade+ next 20K feathers I get so I can replace Tailtiu with her entirely.

thinking about it, it's probably likely that Bold Fighter will be armor exclusive, but still, quad Brave Lance effie.
