I voted for Embla and I still don't have her. shakes fist "EDELGAAAAAAAARD!"

A finger on the monkey's paw curls, and we get Brave Balthus as a sword armor.

Well said.

I think having a clearer idea of who the top Engage units are will encourage Engage fans to focus more on them next year - that is, Ivy, Yunaka, Diamant, and possibly Alcryst. This year, they were too spread out.

I've been tracking my odds of getting a new unit in each color. At present, my best chance is red, at 3/69, since I'm only missing one unit from each of the other colors. (My only missing units from the revival pool are Lucina, Sanaki, and Midori in red, and Fallen Berkut, Minerva, and Mist elsewhere.)

Agh, that's a shame. That's exactly what I was hoping for a repeat of. The Voting Gauntlet adds an element of randomness, but still.

We're still on the first day of voting, for the next ~14 hours. Recent special unit types tend to do well. I'd bet on Gullveig making it into the Top 8, and probably Winter Edelgard as well via Edelgard power. Legendary Camilla could also be a strong candidate, and I'm curious to see how Emblem Marth does. Personally I cast my first vote for Kvasir, since I don't have any version of her yet.

I think Three Houses appealed to a lot of people outside of FE's usual fanbase - even more so than Awakening and Fates. It makes sense for that to be a recipe for being particularly popular overall even while getting dislike from a lot of longer-time fans (myself included).

Emblems aren't Mythics, they're a separate category. I guess this could open the possibility of Mythic alts of Tiki and Idunn, but I'm not sure what the point would be. They're already pretty thoroughly explored throughout their other versions, while Lumera wasn't.

I think their first consideration will be "units they think will sell well".

I don't think Emblem Heroes will be multi-character, even if they correspond to Engage characters that were. Emblem Heroes take inspiration from Engage, but they'll be open even to characters who weren't Emblems in Engage at all.

I was stuck for a while trying to parse Marth's special until I realized I'd need to read his B skill to fully contextualize it.

Hey, Jugdral lords have plenty of fans! Seliph placed in CYL6, and Sigurd and Leif both did really well here! Personally I've never cared much for Felix and Bernie, but it'll be nice to check them off the list of 3H characters missing their adult appearances - joining Dimitri, Edelgard, Claude, Lysithea, Marianne, Hilda, and Ingrid in having both pre-timeskip and post-timeskip versions. Am I forgetting anyone?

What a baffling CYL result. I expected a fight between Sigurd and Engage, and it turns out we get neither. I guess none of these are completely out of left field, but... man, I wanted Sigurd. Still, nice to see him and Leif higher than ever. And BK is getting up there now, too. I've been predicting Emblem Heroes, but I expected them to be a few months ago, instead of Attuned Heroes. I hope we aren't getting another unit type later this year - we're so overloaded already. Marth is a logical first pick, and Lumera getting both a sword GHB and a dragon mythic seems reasonable. At least we finally got SI up to five skills. And... now I'll have to redo all my revival pool calculations, I guess.

> At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants "unit can move one extra space (that turn only; does not stack)", [Pathfinder], and [Canto (Dist)] to unit and allies within 2 spaces. Alternatively, maybe they'll make a 5-space variation of Charge.

I just hope Sigurd is one of them. But Diamant, Ivy, and Yunaka would certainly round out the rest of the lineup well.

I'd love to get Spring FE6 Karel. And also some form of FE6 Eliwood and Hector, for that matter. Winter could be a great fit for them.

Yeah, that's what I mean - about 27 hours from the time I'm posting this.

The banner should launch on Tuesday, which means the trailer should go up either tonight or tomorrow night. I think they usually avoid Saturday nights, but I'm not sure how reliable that pattern is (or if I'm even remembering it right).

The Arena notification shows two blank slots, so there should indeed be a second unit here.

Not quite. 10 Skl is needed to get staff accuracy to the maximum, but hit rates in Thracia are bound to between 99% and 1%, both for staffs and weapons. So even 10 Skl won't avoid the 1% chance of missing.

Earlier tonight, I used Winter Edelgard with support from Desert Dorothea to take out five enemies in a single player phase. Reinhardt was quite strong, but I don't think his era compares to the current one.

That simplifies things, and sounds vaguely familiar now that you mention it.

What's the cap on refining stones? I'm getting close to 10k.
