Not saying the Serenes crowd does this but the double standards man. Some people were dreading and joking about another Camilla yet Lyn is a-okay. I just wish they'd be consistent with their supposed too many alts complaint. Ah it's no good being negative, bad me. I like ninjas but other than Hana I'm not really interested in the other units. I'm summoning purely for cool weapon fodder which is probably a first for me. I don't think I've ever summoned for fodder lol.

Yeah, I wonder why I thought this was a good idea. Hyper offense makes this map easy yet I didn't do that..... it was painful. Usually when Abyssal is hard for me it's cause I get stubborn and try to make whoever I bring in first work. This case I just really wanted to use Caeda, Grima, and Ethlyn. You can thank Genshin for lite mode, damn game needs like 8GB of space. Archanea once again turning me to the dark side. Caeda is super pretty

XANE!!!!!!! THEY FINALLY ADDED HIM IN!!!!! SEASONAL HELL BUT I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!! Hah, seeing my absolute favourite character get in the game is just.... amazing. He's so cute T-T As always, he's looks memey as fuck lmao. 4* focus, thank the heavens. Xane means a lot to me TOT Getting all of that off my chest. I want Grima as well, she's really cute and looks like fun. Tiki is tiki so obviously I need to pull for her. Xane ^^^. Ena is a welcomed surprise~ Yeah, I don't really pull for meta reasons.

Other than Rhea the list isn't in any particular order. I like almost everyone to a certain degree so this was kinda hard. Might say something or not if it's characters I haven't really talked about before. Trying to avoid a full on Blue Lion sweep was..... difficult. 1. Rhea 2. Dimitri 3. Ashe - Him and Caspar are funny. I always liked Ashe, Caspar was a mixed bag at first, but then I saw the cat mom support and instantly fell in love with the two as a pairing. My love for them has only grown~. Ashe as a character is just so incredibly sweet and humble that it makes me smile and a little sad. The inability to let go of his past deeds is pretty sad when he's genuinely a good person. 4. Caspar - Endearing and he's hilarious, his support with Hubert had me crying. I also think he's very strong character, emotionally speaking. Crest significance and nobility is such a heavy burden it's no wonder a good chunk of the cast just can't handle it but Caspar pushes through. Admittedly he seems to have a "normal" family but the societal pressure is huge. Plus he gets a lot of points for cat mom ^^^ 5. Flayn - I don't get how Flayn looks a like a child nor how she's childish :L. Anyways, I think she's endearing and pretty funny at times. Fruit ninja with Felix came out of no where and the way she knocks Sylvain down a peg via ridiculous rumours made me cry 😂. Her fear of abandonment is also just too relatable, minus the whole immortality thing, and made me pretty emotional. 6. Felix 7. Mercedes 8. Marianne 9. Seteth 10. Ferdinand

Colourless is incredible this time around with all 3 units being targets of mine. I always did find the Nohr outfit weird but I do really like conquest from a gameplay perspective. She doesn't seem that much different from her regular pool self except more bulky.

Vero is super cute here but I don't like Xander >:L regardless, I'm not summoning for a while. 300+ orbs for garbage when trying to get Summer Byleth. I'm excited for Vero + Ephrain refines since I still use them regularly. If Celica ends up broken I'll be pissed I foddered her. Summoning changes are always nice but 4* pool could still use some work, there's just too many units now. Free stuff is free stuff. Sucks we got no cyl4 news

Random Larum pity breaker was vital for my clear :L I'm not a huge fan of FE6 so I'm surprised I was able to clear Abyssal Hector. +10 Klein, +1 Brave Roy, Larum, and Winter Cecilia got the job done. Larum was lvl 1 and didn't have anything except atk tactic seal lol, her only purpose was to dance.

I want Xane Hmm, my number one wanted hero from Three Houses would probably be Serios. Favourite character in the game~ and she's incredibly badass. FEH doesn't exactly celebrate individual anniversaries but Three Houses isn't comparable to the rest of the series. It's a mainline game that garnered a lot of attention and came out during FEH's lifespan.

... Kinda forgot about this until today 🙃. Luckily for me there's nothing Leif and Linde can't handle. Usually I'd use Mia but I wanted to use Lethe this time around. I've truly fallen though thanks to Resplendent Linde. Feh pass actually got me via one of my favs 😔😓

Mila!! Ahh this is exciting~ She's one of my favs from SoV. Good thing colourless also has Alm. Green has Annette so I guess it's green and colourless for me.

Oboro is wearing a traditional Japanese wedding dress. The "hooded" part is a headdress and it's a symbol of submission. Anyways I'm not too crazy about anyone here so I'll most likely skip. Oboro and Nailah are super pretty but they're not a must have.

Lyon and Julia~ Too bad I wasted 150+ orbs getting a Naga :L Corrin is interesting and Ike is cool but he's sword infantry so I don't care.

I wasn't in the mood to deal with reinforcement spam so here's a 1 turn clear video. Only took me 20 minutes since I needed to swap around skills/seals. Tibarn's -def and Edelgard's insane bonfire were not a fun combo lol. Needed chill def, def buff, and close guard to make sure he'd survive.

I'm a little disappointed "Abyssal" is just infernal in disguise, map was way too easy. I get why they wouldn't actually use the Abyssal stats for this but it would have been fun to try. Beast Emblem featuring Naesala, Tibarn, NY!Lethe and Reyson cleared it easily.

That's weird, have you tried giving Fjorm a seal? I gave Fjorm Fort. Def seal just to mess with her attack and she still manages to get the K.O. The only way I can see you missing out on the K.O is by missing a step or Fjorm somehow doesn't proc her special.

This map didn't take very long which is nice~ I was going to use Lif and Linde, current goal is to beat all of the abyssal maps with them, but I just threw together some units I like :D. I wanted to use a different dancer but I didn't feel like wasting 20k feathers for speed tactics :L, the extra buffs and movement weren't needed anyways. It's been a while but my boy Klein returns~ Yes, I didn't complete the other difficulties so I could show off my orb count lolz

I prefer Male Byleth's design so he's usually my go to choice and he can marry all of the girls :L. I did do a playthrough with F!Byleth to s-support Seteth.

Ah I see, thanks for clarifying that. It seemed like you made your choice with the events afterwards in mind but I can see that's not the case. Rhea's uh terrifying when she's mad so I'm not gonna defend that. While I understood what Edelgard stood for, I built a stronger connection with Rhea and wanted to know more about her and why things were the way they were. My stance is actually pretty similar to yours in that I couldn't stand behind condemning someone without confronting them, only in my case I stood by Rhea. I didn't see it as tyrannical but I can see why you did. For me, I didn't think Rhea was dangerous for executing criminals that essentially came after her nor was she tyrannical for doing so. I wonder if it's just my bias at play or the game's portrayal of these executions, the criminals aren't meant to be pitied for the most part except for Lonato to a certain degree. Ah I see, this is where we'll disagree ideologically. For me, actions are more important than intention, especially when the damage has already been done. Of course I'm not absolute about this, it should be a case by case thing. I agree 100% and I do like Edelgard a lot, I just don't agree with her at times and prefer some other characters that happen to be in direct conflict with her. I think the devs made the right choice when designing Rhea and Edelgard the way they did, it's just shame some fans disregard this entirely.

This has been bothering me for a while, you'd think she would explain herself here of all routes. I'm guessing it has to do with the dev's intentions with the scene, it's meant to signify the bond you have with Edelgard. Can you still trust her despite the lies and "betrayal" or did she cross the line and is a legitimate threat? I honestly think the devs were going for a irrational and emotional choice being made here. It's so "irrational" that Edelgard herself is in shock. Explaining her actions could possibly defeat the purpose of that since you could make a more logical choice based on the info you have. She's gonna be the antagonist no matter what in other routes so the devs can afford to shed some light on a major antagonist. Personally, I find it hard to call the aggressor "just" in any circumstance, especially when they're using lethal force. This isn't to be confused with victims lashing out, their tormentors are the aggressor no matter what. Though this isn't the main point and it's pretty subjective so I'll leave it at that. Don't mind me randomly joining the conversation. I just think this overall scene is interesting We already know that Rhea doesn't care about your intentions, what matters is your actions and that makes it understandable why she didn't bother questioning Edelgard. To her, no reason could possibly justify attacking the Church and it's members. It's not a one time incident either, Edelgard's been a part of some major events within the past year like Flayn's kidnapping and Remire village. You're not the first person to claim Rhea appears to be hiding something but I never got that impression. We know how important the Church is to her and how she treats anyone who goes against it, I find it weird that anyone would think she's acting suspiciously or out of character in order to hide something. I'm a little surprised you'd say she's sadistic here, at least before the choice has been made since Rhea doesn't say anything about eternal punishment until Edelgard escapes :L. I agree with the sentiment(the whole eye for an eye is bad) wholeheartedly here but I think it's unfair to look at the scene through Edelgard's perspective only, especially since you're using information we don't get until AFTER we make the choice. Looking at it from Rhea's perspective, to her Edelgard's a huge threat to Fodlan's safety, one that's trying to steal a lot of crest stones. Rhea knows what can be done with those stones and she isn't willing to take that chance. So while I think compassion would have been nice to see I can't exactly fault Rhea for the acting the way she did. Also, it didn't matter what Rhea did here, the war would have happen regardless. I doubt one act of kindness would be enough to shake Edelgard's beliefs since they're deeply rooted in her trauma.

Xane, Azelle and Shiva are the only ones that can threaten my Rhea stash so there's that. I'm expecting Awakening or Tellius to be honest. With the 30th Anni coming up, Fe1/3 are more than possible but Awakening is technically Archanea and far more popular :L Tellius if there's no plan for Anni.

I voted for Altina so I'm happy with the result. Letting people pick from the start would have been better but at least you can't really complain about the results, the number 1 pick is being given out for free.

Whew, I'm not reading 41 pages in one sitting again lol. Man, I missed out on some genuinely good discussions 😅. Anyways, I'm glad TC made this topic. I've been saying this since I completed the game but depending on the site I was using, the discussion would just dissolve into Rhea vs. Edelgard with Dimitri sprinkled in. Not fun. I can only trust in Serenes 🙏 With the occasional reddit post. It's rare but there's some genuinely good character analysis. It just gets buried I do want to mention the whole "Rhea suppressed technology and humanity's advancement!" Honestly, I doubt the validity of it. Losing books, incredibly rare and valued resources if the dlc was right, would be a punishable crime. Hell, Ashe simply pays off Anna when a thief stole one lol. Was mentioned really early on but I agree, Bernie being set on fire is such a tiresome argument

I didn't notice the Flame Emperor. It's exciting yet really frustrating, why are the Eagles getting the most attention? Hopefully it's either the Lions and/or the Deer getting the focus next banner.

... I don't have any orbs lolz. Maybe I'll be able to save up enough during the month. Anyways, I freaked when I saw Annette and Lysithea. Ferdie too but I love my girls~ Absolutely gonna try and get them.

This was a fun clear and it's essentially just Lif + Linde trashing the map 😅. It was pretty funny when I cleared this first try. I feel kinda bad that Mia didn't get to do much. Ai control and tactics~ Linde having no ivs and merges makes her really special to me for some reason.
