  1. I personally find very refreshing to see a “honeymoon” phase because I remember SE's habit to dislike whatever the latest entry was, then see the good points. Maybe that's just because people tend to talk more about what they don't like, but still... I like the fact that the hype train didn't just explode when the game launched. That being said, I think there are a lot of things the game to criticize. From the top of my head: -The “recruitment” system is counter-intuitive (the game is not clear that, in order to recruit a specific character, supporting them is more effective); you can simply bribe anyone into joining, and some factors (lost items, some recruitment options) shouldn't be RNG -Is kinda easy to break the game in hard mode (tough maybe lunatic will be different); and I think that makes the map desing suck -While I think the characterization was much better (and the reason for the hype), I wish the first part (I didn't get to play the second yet)
  2. For me Lyn getting Mulangir isn't really the problem, alts are supposed to come for alternate realities or something. Knowing only her- a character that indeed didn't touch the weapon- however does.
  3. Okay, I'm still going to pull Lector because I am a Hector fan (and I don't like summer heroes in general). But this is OG!Hector updated for 2018. Even his Armads + B skill work like all-breaker set (but better). I really don't get why they couldn't give him another color (he can get a Rex Hasta that isn't really associated with anyone) or movement (infantry). The release date makes me wonder why they would "screw" their "special" Hector release. Edit: Why a lord character can't share a weapon with a non-lord? i.e. Hector getting a basillikos
  4. To make a free pseudo Brave Ike really. I agree that the LaD is the optimal choice, but having other viable options is something to considerer in BHB/GBH, especially for those who do not have/do not want to use B!Ike or just like Linus.
  5. Well, comparing purely statwise, Linus is kinda a +SPD/-DEF Brave Ike: Stat comparison (Linus vs +SPD/-DEF) Brave Ike): However, instead of getting Urvan (or a Tomahawk) he got a mostly offensive Basilikos. This makes a comparison to the other Basilikos wielder interesting Stat comparison (Linus vs. neutral Raven) Linus' offensive spread is IMO worse than Ravens (because the latter can double more reliably, especially with IVs) his offensive spread is no better than Raven's. I think he can run a DEF+ Basilikos and Bonfire (with Infantry Pulse, it will trigger on the first counter), a Mellon Crusher+ Fury combo, or QR Breath/Stance. I would say Linus got a fairly balanced mix, making him versatile ax unit (his Res sucks, but that's nothing new).
  6. After 43 orbs, I got a SPD-, RES+ Dragon Daddy. I sniped for it (does it have a gender?) because he pretty much makes OG Hector more dead than Armads's curse. This boon/bane makes his defenses close to Shenna, but with a much higher attack, so I'm happy with it. But, at any rate, s if Laegjarn's weapon is anything to go by, it seems Grima is also vunerable to the powercreep curse. I got lucky this time, but I spent around 280 orbs for a -ATK Bait!Hector in the first day. My condolences for your orbs.
  7. @Ice DragonSo you meant other axe armor could fuffil their roles better than Hector. Fair enough. I just took it the wrong way and assumed it was an argument against "Hector being a good character to get". I have no idea how I got that idea though, apologies.
  8. @Ice Dragon@Xenomata Granted, being the axe armor with the most phisical bulk when Firesweep is a meta bow was not doing much favors for the OG Hector, but as Xeno pointed out, he is great right out of the gate for newcomers and his QR+ WF combo is amazing for PvE content (including the curent GHB).
  9. Maybe this is not the exact place to reach this conclusion (mainly due to the small poll count), but there seems to be an agreement over the ban on assult-style weapons. They, as listed, as ill-siuted for personal protection, they are not needed for hobbies such as hunting, and even on a lobbyist perspective, I do not think there are a lot of civilians among the buyers. Also, I would like to question if citizens really need to carry weapons outside their homes in daylight. But there is a point Ana mentioned I would like to bold: while gun control would; it would certainly not end the homicides (though, to not be cynic, a reduction in the number of victms); and, at list in third world countries, they would not deprive gangs and such from heavy weapons. I think the problem is not limited to acess, but, as she mentioned, there IS an health issue underlined in this problem that could be adressed. @Shoblongoo, your graphic is also interesting because some countries, like Brazil, have thighter gun laws; but a lack of proper control could render the discussion pointless. (out of curiosity, Brasil is considered by some a developed country?, I'm Brazillian and this is newflash.)
  10. @Usana I have the exact same bug on a DEF+ Vector. No idea why.
  11. Yeah, now that I think about it, OG Hector is much better against dragons because of his all breaker/ possible 28 SPD with a boon. Also, if V!Hector has no superboons, the BST differrence between them is 2 with a SPD boon.
  12. Then we already know who will be the first to break the 200 BST mark.
  13. Well, I'm kinda pretending he shaved (and then grew again) because I don't think CYL (or any other Hector) will be that version, since it has no screentime.
  14. It is really nice that there is a reference to Linina and Hector's relationship. In my headcannon, this is the papa Hector we see in FE7's ending.
  15. Not everyone has to like the game, but you should at least free pull for fodder. New armor units tend to have VERY good skills for armor emblem (March from Amelia/Henry, Panicbow from Jackob, Vengeful/Bold from winter...).
  16. While the left silhouette does not have a discernable face, at least not at least it's not another Camilla (it's probably Lucina or Azura instead). . I don`t think there would be much of a problem in they being Lilina and Roy, as long as they don't reference each other. Skipping this mostly because I don't like seasonals overall (unless it's something like performing arts)
  17. @Silith13 10.3? That's way more than I thought (gotta love the 1.6 love for the "why are they not here yet?" untis). Though I regret not giving Sharena a vote like @Vaximillian, the Askr trio deserves something- and they are only now trying to give Alfonse some "character"
  18. I'm skipping this banner (even tough I think Myrrh and Horse!Eirika will be broken); however I think it was due a good idea to add the the only missing "noble" of SS and a dragon unit. Myrrh ssems stat wise compared to A!Tiki. Assuming her DEF to be neutral 35*, she has an "AllEarthsweep" + Wary fighter in one. What makes this funny is that, she might reach 41 DEF with a boon and fury, the neutral untis that are not affected are all physical and the red ones most of the red one that can reach with a DEF boon might not have the SPD to double her. The execptions to this are Draug and Zelgius. In terms of power, I think it is comparable to refined Lightning Breath. Her builds can be very versitile to (due to her Legendary wepaon and the option of running Distant Coutner or is very versitile too, being able to fit a dragon and a flier team Coupled with her fanbase, *Was fury active? Was she neutral in the trailer? I find L’Arachel getting Ivaldi odd for two reasons. First, because she was not colorless (now that this would not be a bad thing). Second, the tome grants + DEF (like the vanilla) on a units not known to be bulky. She also comes with renewal. Will she able to tank with buffs? Will she focus on offense with the +ATK/SPD against full untis? Or are all her skills based on the lore? I have two theories for Eirika getting Gleipin: the two possible users (Knoll and Ewan) are not popular enough for a legendary weapon or they really wanted another Eirika in the game. Her skill setseems based around having loads of ATK and SPD with a splash of RES (making her slightly more offense-oriented than infantry counterpart). I think IS is testing the waters to see the addtion of other versions of Lords outside Seasonals/CYL banners. This can mean that this might be their answer for the "What they'll when they launch everyone" and they might not be unwilling to realease unpopular units (like Lot).
  19. @Ice Dragon Thank you for the input (my bad for not knowing about "Shift + Enter"). I tried to make this in one go but severely underestimated the effort necessary. I made the correction. Should I credit you in the topic (especially for the "Multi-flavored" and "Strong, Tough but Green") or in the end? By the way, is there a way to close spoilers during edits?
  20. Base Stats HP: 49/52/55 ATK: 33/36/39 SPD: 21/24/28 DEF: 34/37/40 RES: 16/19/22 Recomemded IVs: SPD boon raises BST for those interested. However Hector has build options regardless of IVs (especially if well supported by other units), with ATK bane being somewhat lackluster Unit stat explanation: Comparison to other Axe Armors: vs Amelia: Great Wall vs Blooming Potential vs Sheena: Defense Lord vs Resistance Royal vs Winter Chrom: Balanced Year-long vs Brash Festivities vs Winter Lissa: Ostian Summer vs Royal Winter vs Valentine Hector: Wary Armards vs Wharthful Armads vs Halloween Henry: Muscles vs Tomes vs Fallen Robin (M): Human experienced against sticks vs GOD OF VENGANCE vs Legendary Hector: The old unsung hero vs The Legend of the Ominibreaker vs Brave Ephraim: OG Hector 2.0 Hector's 5* Vanilla Skills: Commom Builds- Normal Armads: "Leaving Ostia set" (Budget Armads) "Wary General" (Armads + Wary Fighter + Quick Riposte) Expensive builds- Normal Armads: "Slaying-flavored Vengance" (Slaying Axe + Vengeful Figther)- Not recommended "Multi-flavored Vengance" (Refined Axes + Vengeful Figther) Other options: "Strong, Tough and Green" (Brave+ Brash assault) "Mixed Tatics" (Distant Coutner+ Bold Figther) Commom Builds- Berserk Armads: "Returning to Ostia set" (Budget Berserk Armads) Exepnsive Builds- Berserk Armads: "Oswin's Lesson" (Vengeful fighter + Berserk Armads) "Just here to fight" (Bold fighter + Berserk Armads) "Warth of Durban" (Dual Warth Armads Special Galore) Other information: Alternative skills: Counters: Supportive units: Contributions:
