<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

There's 5 unknown heroes. I guess they could have added the New Year's ones already. Gonna be mighty interesting

I totally forgot about Spring Chrom. Also speaking of forgettable spring heroes, there's 3 Xanders.

Tentative word on Reddit for the New Year's banner is M!Corrin, Azura, Takumi, and Camilla for some reason.

E: Beaten like Hinoka and Ryoma out of seasonal spots they should probably have. :v:

E2: have a piece of artwork so this post has any value at all:

I'm only 10 chapters into Birthright and it's starting to feel like a slog already. When reinforcements show up, it's more 'ugh, more dudes I have to grind through before they let me finish this map' rather than having to scrounge up with a new plan to even survive the map.

...it's not gonna get any better, is it?

Conquest is the bee's knees, though.

Oh for fucks sake.

E: Conquest is more Fire Emblem-y, but neither is very good story-wise.

Sounds like they're all fliers too. Camilla is a red sword and there's a dance skill added so Azura is probably our first flying dancer.

Takumi's title is Prince of Soup and the idea of using soup as a dagger is just, wonderful, and this banner is wonderful because of it.

Decided to gamble on the Christmas banner one last time and got Christmas Robin (+HP/-RES). Which means I'm probably not getting anything on the next two banners, given my luck. :shepicide:

The best dancer will always be Ninian in my book. Even if the Heroes developers really want to push Azura into people's hands, the shy dragon lady is a good pal in my opinion.

As one of the people who actually likes Camilla

I really don't know. :iiam:

E: Camilla isn't even as good as Tharja, really. The interesting parts of her character didn't hold up as well in her own game(s) compared to the fanservice bits.

She's been treated about the same as Tharja after the fact, though.

If at the start of the game you'd told me Ryoma'd be one of the last Fates royals to get a seasonal I'd have raised an eyebrow.

I want less seasonal rehashes and more Bridal Charlotte and Performance Shigure types.

Camilla, Corrin, and Azura are all pretty lame characters to have 3-4 renditions.

I mean yet another Camilla is boring but so are Corrin and another Azura. I’d maybe roll for Takumi cause Tobi is one of the best artists but eh.

Pretty sure 80% of Flierzuras will use the Iote's Shield seal.

If Takumi's weapon is good I'll make a token effort to get it so I can feed him to Frederick.

I don't think Camilla is too bad, really. It's an apt comparison to call her the Tharja of Fates, where she's basically a very maternal older sister to her siblings (Elise actually dyes her hair slightly so Camilla won't feel bad that they're only half siblings), but boopbos do get people to part with their orbs. And their money.

Her being a flying Sword user would at least make her an option if you didn't want to pull for Elincia ever. ... But you probably should wait for Elincia banners, 'cause she's a part of the Cool Kids Club that is FE9, which has very few, if any, units that are straight up Lame-os. I'd even say that Rhys will probably be neat in Heroes.

Just a cage of bones, there's nothing inside.

quote:

Camilla MSID_H_門松+: Grants Def/Res+2 during combat\nto allies within 2 spaces.
Azura MSID_H_羽子板+: Grants Def/Res+2 during combat\nto allies within 2 spaces.
Corrin MSID_H_破魔矢+: Effective against flying foes. Grants\nDef/Res+2 during combat to allies\nwithin 2 spaces.
Takumi MSID_H_鏡餅+: Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown\ncount-1). After combat, if unit attacked,\ninflicts Def/Res-7 on target and foes within\n2 spaces through their next actions.

Azura comes w/ Steady Stance 3 (???), Earth Dance (Def+3/4/5 on dance), and Hone Fliers

Camilla is 33/35, you could probably run a firesweep on a +spd Camilla.

I don't think Flier Emblem even needs a sword user at this point, considering the effectiveness of Minerva/Michalis/Cherche. And if you want something to tank axes, Palla or even Beruka will do the job fine.
