New legendary hero probably coming up. Whether they'll be free like Fjorm is another question

I wonder what they mean by Legendary Hero

A new OC like Fjorm?

A FE character (an old one or a new one) with a blessing attached to them?

Make Alphonse, Shareena, and Anna summons with blessings attached to them?

Or maybe make Loki or that other lady on the enemy side summons?

I'd be surprised if they gave us another legendary hero for free.
Fjorm just seems like a safe introduction to blessings and seasons for new players, plus a nice free 5* to help with assorted content. You got your freebie now give into the gacha

Agreed, as good as Lucina

edit:

Speaking of which, would giving Lucina Brazen Atk/Spd make her competitive?

I feel like that skill gives bigger bonuses than Fury of LaD without the downside of chip damage or -6 to def and res and you can get below 80% after a fight or Ardent Sacrifice

Lucina is still good, just that other red sword are better. Like Joshua who's free and is immediately +1 metgable.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Brazen skills are bad for arena because you effectively have no A skill in your first fight, and the first fight is more important than your subsequent fights since you want to whittle down the enemy numbers as fast as you can. Ardent Sacrifice is really fiddly too since it forces her to be ineffective until someone else has taken combat, and using Ardent Sacrifice has the opportunity cost of losing Reposition.

It's definitely good in chain-battle modes like TT or CC tho, since you can squeeze much more value out of it

If we're talking free swords Masked Marth is a much better one than Josh, Josh's stats are really mediocre and Audhulma is already outclassed by Slaying Edge. Even with like -Atk or -Spd Lucina would be better than Josh too, 30/35 offenses with no IVs is really nothing to talk about

Unless you give him Distant Counter that huge Res isn't really relevant either beyond being a niche Fae/Tiki check for AA

Brazen Atk/Spd is good on Lyn.

It also works on Wary Fighter units who can take a single blow and then have the boosts up for the rest of the map.

the english website has some voice clips that would make sense for Loki, Surtr and Laevataeinn eventually being playable. Sounds like Laevateinn was basically raised to be a weapon so that's primo join & find your true self arc material

Laevateinn is the name of Loki's staff/sword/whatever in Norse mythology. The Branch of Destruction. It has nothing to do with water.

I'm guessing the assumption is because the spelling is kinda similar to Leviathan. But no, Laevateinn definitely has nothing to do with Water.

It's in the garbage. Where it belongs.
4.5% pity rate on the christmas banner, still looking for the first dumb bloated armor. Sanaki (-def +res) broke the pity rate once already at 4.0

Four reds and one colorless. I guess a Tharja is fine even if she looks silly.

Fir
Draug
Raigh
Sophia

Jesus. That's no Tharja but the red garbage all stars. I know I shouldn't but I'll do the 3 orb pull to up the pity rate more.

Jaffar

Fat armor dream is dead.

Although that Jaffar is +spd -res and the mountain dew upgrade gives no counter even if it is only vs tomes. Big fan of no counter with the content we're having lately.
I also gave Sanaki R tomebreaker so with that massive res she can be anti-red and green mage.

I guess this is fine too.

They're pretty easy to cook up, most of the decent ones aren't even exclusive. The only real cost is your TA3 and requisite Raventome.

4*: M/F!Robin, Boey, Sophia, Cecilia, Tharja
5*: Leo, PA!Inigo, PA!Shigure, S!Lucina, S!Camilla (somewhat tenuous), and the seasonal armor 2-range nerds (all of whom likely don't even need TA3 or Raventome)

and then ofc there's the proactive solutions of Reinhardt/Olwen and Mathilda.


But Our Boy Roy tends to be somewhat elusive, so that does become a problem, on top of some other units (dancers) also wanting to get their hands on that juicy A-slot.
