DefyingFates

It may be too soon after his Emblem alt but I'd like to see Corrupted Emblem Marth. If nothing else a second source of Potent would be appreciated... though that just makes it more likely he'll be on next year's fallen banner instead. While I'd love to see Fallen Veyle, I'm not going to get my hopes up. Instead I'll play it safe and assume we'll get complementary Heroes to last year, i.e. F!M!Byleth and Lloyd. ...and more Three Hopes Heroes because 3H bias.

And another chapter down! Not much happened this time, but we still got some meaningful developments and confirmation that Yggdrasil and the Askran + Emblians' power are similar enough to work together. Neat! Also a bit of development from the Healing Hands. While Nidhoggr's line to Ratatoskr is a bit on the nose on the surface, the reveal earlier that she keeps trying to numb her emotions means it still says something about her regardless. Also their dad is getting involved. I assume he'll get teased next month and properly revealed with the midpoint trailer/ banner.

Added to the OP, thank you as always, both of you!! (Also it only clicked when I saw your version that we'll get a trailer on the 14th. Neat! But also worrying because...) I sure hope not, happy saving for all of us! That's a fair assumption. I must say, back in 2017 I didn't think I'd ever want another Fates banner over something else, yet here we are.

0. I don't think any of Engage's Legendary/ Mythic Heroes are slated to appear this month? And even if they were they're all too new and powerful to be in HoF already. That said, Veyle's probably the most likely to show up in the next Engage HoF since she's "just" a supportive nuke compared to the tankiness of the others (I think L!F!Alear's starting to fall off though). Maybe we'll get a surprise Feh Channel instead? I'm honestly shocked those three in particular aren't in FEH yet, even as seasonals. I'd bet on premium banner unit Scarlet, demote Mozu and GHB Shura personally, though I also wouldn't be surprised if IS gave Mozu a somewhat premium kit and sent a guy out to die as the demote instead, like Kagetsu earlier.

Two NH Banners this month with the second being the annual Fallen Heroes one. I REALLY hope no one from Engage is on here, I literally can't afford to pull on anything right now since I'm also planning to pull on the HoF banner on the 22nd. And that's not even mentioning the midpoint banner coming next month with a "free" Mythic, IIRC.

Thanks! I only have 2 Chroms IIRC, so I need to be careful about how I use him as well. I'll think it over some more. And thank you for your recommendations too @XRay!

Apparently Gambit is better for her, so I figured I'd rely on Alarm for the Canto (she has Alarm Spd/Def, not Def/Res, my bad!) And as you say, I'm not planning on building any beasts anytime soon, so that makes it okay to spend her on Eirika? I hope?

I don't even have E!Marth, so that's not a problem for me at the moment 😛 But thank you for the assessment! My L!Eirika already has good skills right now (Ruptured Sky, Flared Sparrow + Gambit 4) and I only have the one copy of Eitr so I don't want to put too many good skills on her at the moment. Are there any relatively cheap skills I could put on her? Snags and Ruses could be fun for general content for example, since both she and Eirika would have that one space of Canto to play around with. Thank you again!

Thank you so much for this! So if I don't have any other beast units I'm building, it's okay to just put her Alarm Atk/Spd on Eirika? Or should I hold onto her regardless and let the latter keep Alarm Def/Res? Thanks again!

I have a question about Eitr: Hand of Nothing: how valuable are her skills beyond Alarm Atk/Spd? I have a copy and I'd like to know if I should inherit Alarm Atk/Spd onto my L!Eirika (who has Alarm Spd/Def at the moment) or hold onto Arcane Nihility and Beast Sense 4. I only have her at +0 but remember seeing S!Freyja uses them well for example. Thanks in advance, everyone! P.S. I don't think Eitr can inherit any useful "general purpose" skills either because she's a Beast, can she? No Quarter is off the table, for instance.

My bad, I overlooked that. But hey, that's still a great prediction!

Perfectly nailed it, 100%. Congrats!

I don't fancy my chances of getting Emblem Marth outside of AHR so Potent is probably the better option for me here. I suppose a new Marth alt could come with it too, but outside of a potential fallen one I don't see that happening any time soon. Thank you very much for your feedback! I'll go for the first choices I posted earlier then, though I'll accept Prime 4 over Finish 4 if I get everything else I want. Thanks again!

Hmm, true. I could also pair her with Gerik to get the full Prime effect even if she's isolated after Charging. Thank you very much! I currently have 4 Peonies to clone Prime and 4 Alcrysts to clone Finish, but as you say Finish seems to be the better skill for her so... I guess I'll just see if I'm lucky enough to get either one and go from there. What do you think about the rest of my build, does it (or the alternatives) look good? That's the one with Canto, isn't it? I'll keep an eye out, thanks again!

He can still get a Duo alt if he's the backpack. With Emmeryn in front, for example. Duo Lyon showed IS isn't above putting the more popular character in the back if they need to (at long last). Granted Lyon completed the pattern of FE8 duo units that way, but it'd be weird to have Lissa and Frederick here without Chrom, so I think him being here is inevitable: we just need to see how. I think he's going to be the Grail unit too, which is a shame. I think it'd be nice for him to get a busted kit - or at least something good enough to be the 4* focus.

I just lost all of my Orbs so really hope we still get another 300 this month so I can pull on the Engage HoF. We won't get another calendar until next week, will we? Also, in preparation for the upcoming Engage HoF, I'm crossing my fingers for OG!F!Alear to be featured so I can turn her into a godsword. I don't think we've gotten any new relevant skills for her in the past month so is the following still an optimal set-up for her? And are there any better/ other strong alternatives I should get instead? Thanks in advance everyone! I've listed a second best option for each slot and I'd appreciate your feedback on whether those really are "second best" or better too, if possible. Thanks again! P.S. Is Null/ Petalfall Blade+ still the best weapon available from HoF for swordies at the moment? Thanks again - again!

That's what I wound up doing so I may go for her Divine Codes path down the line. But Heather's on there for 800 and Incite is now on my R!Lif (along with Fatal Smoke 4) so I'm not TOO worried about getting more of her. Not that I can afford to be. Odd that despite BK's stats and A skill his kit is tailored for slow Armors. Huh. I don't have any of those I want to level up at the moment but we'll see if any interesting Armor units show up as GHB or TT rewards down the line I guess. But for now, my B!Eirika has been updated! She's using No Quarter + Flared Sparrow + Incite Atk/Spd on top of her default kit. May she not let me down!

Thanks as always, Ice! I jumped the gun and gave Peony Atk/Spd Prime 4, No Quarter, Flared Sparrow and Atk/Spd Oath 4. Oops. But my plan now is to feed Merric to R!Ophelia so she gets both Remote Sparrow and Incite Atk/Spd, then use both units to load R!Lif up on Flared Sparrow, No Quarter and Incite Atk/Spd so I can then use him as as All-In-One fodder supply for Cavs (and a source of Eljudnir + Incite for Sword Infantry + Cavs). I hope everyone considers that a good use of fodder! Please stop me if it's not! Edit: New idea - is it worth giving Remote Sparrow & Incite Atk/Spd to Ginnungagap instead? Granted I need to reach the end of a Divine Codes path to get a second copy, but it's one with Heather (more Remote Sparrow) and B!Soren (Flare + Mag FU) so... that's worth it, I think? I don't know if BK's fodder is considered worthy now though. But at least this way I have Ophelia free to store Atk/Spd Finish 4 + Atk/Spd Pledge. Not that I have any illusions of getting any other Infantry Rearmed/ Attuned Heroes to pass them along to...

Is Remote Sparrow still relevant or is it only good for infantry units these days? I got an Ascended Merric and want to know who to feed him to. Incite Atk/Spd is my main focus but the only Heroes I have who can copy both are: R!Ophelia (2 copies), R!Sonya and R!Ginnungagap (both at 1 copy + potentially 1 from Divine Codes 5). Then when looking at who can get Incite Atk/Spd I have the above and: R!Lucina (1 + 1 from Divine Codes 5), R!Lif (x3), R!Chrom (x2). So I guess Lif is the logical option if I just want Incite. I asked something like this a month or two ago but are his base skills worth giving to anyone? Ice suggested holding onto him to store any Atk/Def skills for a future tanky unit (and then we got Mauvier) but I'd like to know if that's still worth doing or if I should focus on using him to copy newer skills (he has A/D Clash 4 + A/D Menace at the moment). Thanks in advance, everyone! I don't get why Fliers can't get Incite, that would have made things SO much simpler...

Well, my luck went as expected. I got a few Peony copies which I'm happy with but mostly Claudes (including one who stole my focus charges) and the only Alear I got was from the second spark. I think I'm going to try and get a Merric and/ or Caeda from the NH Banner and maybe come back to this if I can reach another spark before the banner expires. I hope your luck is better everyone! UPDATE: I got one of each, including the spark. 💀

Not too much story in this one but it's still more story than other Books had at this point. I... actually like where this is going! Veronica wanting to attend the peace meeting despite being poisoned and coming to terms with all the trouble she caused in the past is some nice character development on her part too. I'm looking forward to what comes next and hope whoever wrote the plot this time around does a good job with the rest of it too!

Thanks as always, Ice! I suppose I can consider a D/R C Skill + Atk Oath Echo combo if I start training a tanky infantry unit in the future. And I overlooked the downsides of Bonus DC/ CC. Now if only it had been available for HF!Corrin in the recent HoF, it would have been better than Distant A/S Solo for her, wouldn't it?

That's what stood out to me too, finally! Thanks to Merric Incite Atk/Spd is in the main pool now as well. So fodder-wise this banner is a dream come true for me... so of course it drops now right before AHR. I was considering only going up to the second spark there, so maybe I'll have a few Orbs to spare afterwards? We'll see. I know buff neutralization is a thing, but are Bonus Doubler DC/ CC now the best Counter variants? Also, I was going to ask if D/R Pledge + Atk Oath Echo was a good combo, but then I remembered Pledge granted an in-combat buff too. Darn. Caeda is Infantry. That's what makes her more enticing fodder-wise (at least for me). This is a perfect tl;dr of how I feel xD

She can also copy Potent for non-Armors, but I don't know how applicable that would be for a skill still so rare.

If you get copies of her on the banner you can use her to duplicate skills, so she gets added value that way if that helps?
