NegativeExponents- Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I’ve never been a fan of any of the avatar characters but that Grima is just the best! Grima and Duma Celica are units I want the most but I’m probably not wasting any orbs until I summon LA!Lyn (or at least till that banner ends) Also Betrayal is there? I didn’t see him in the trailer or any notification but I’m happy he is the free unit. edit: oops! He was totally in the notifications I just didn’t read it the whole way through.

Arthur97 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 35 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: They have pretty much identical personalities and equally customizable stats and everything else. All that truly differs is who they can see naked outside of marriage, who they can marry, and what role they play in procreation- barely anything majorly important. Maleness is not essential to Mobin, Femaleness is not essential to Fobin. I acknowledge they will be treated differently in FE materials and as separate persons, and I'm not arguing against this. Just that personally, the difference between them is much slimmer than between any other two random characters. If they added skills like the recent Gencross and Genpeer additions to Warriors, or Forrest got Fierce Counter and Charlotte Unmask, then within the context of Heroes, I would consider Mobin's gameplay maleness to matter. But this still wouldn't alter my personal conviction of them as one sexless/hermaphroditic personality outside of small parts of gameplay, fanservice, representation's sake in various games. Perhaps I'm just looking into the depths of their being, ignoring the plumbing layer as irrelevant when it really isn't for this game. I might have a point, but if I do, the point is meaningless in this game. Well, they have slightly different personalities I think if you take the time to look. The way I see it, they are different "people" but the same character. They fulfill the same role, but they are not technically the same. Plus, like I said, if nothing else, they aren't lumped together in the catalog of heroes with it going Male Robin, Winter Robin, Female Robin, and then Summer Robin as oppose to when the same character gets an alt like Chrom and it goes in chronological order of being added to the game i.e. Chrom, Spring Chrom, and then Winter Chrom (exceptions being young and adult Tiki and Vanguard Ike since they are from different games). Also, I know the Morgans have rather different personalities. Male Robin is more chill while Female Robin is more...bubbly kind of like an extreme female Robin.

MilodicMellodi Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Oh yeah, something I'm remembering now... I remember back during the Stepping into the New Year Tempest Trial I'd come up with a theory that the Takumi we were going against was foreshadowing us getting an Evil Takumi. I WAS RIGHT BOYS! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?! Edited February 21, 2018 by MilodicMellodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Ah, Hardin is FINALLY here. I got no idea why he wasn't added at the very start but Archenea's best is finally getting his due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strullemia Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Huh...that is an unique banner. I won't pull because I'm not interested in any of the characters but I'm glad to see IS do something different for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlight Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Grima is definitely the best unit on this banner. Way better W!Tharja and good at taking out ranged units. DC built into his weapon. Slap on Brazen def res and you've got a beast. The fact that he can proc Ignis so easily, uhh. If the stats shown in the video are correct then he's got 48HP and 35 Def. They gave Grima a more busted version of lightning breath with higher mt and no cooldown slowing effect yet they think Naglfar and Raventomes are strong as enough as it is. IS, you've truly done it again. Edited February 21, 2018 by silveraura25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanima Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Holy shit. What a banner. I'm so conflicted. On one hand, these kind of are and aren't repeats in a way. Confusng.. and maybe better fitting for Halloween, but what do I know. Possessed!Takumi in GHB.. while I have to disapprove of him getting another version so soon, I also can't help but be a little excited. I hope he is great. (Although unlikely to be gamebreaking sadly. I wonder if Takumi will ever be back in the top tier..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeManaphy Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I just realized: M!Robin will be our first breath unit. I'm surprised they did Celica though. She was possessed for only a cut scene. You don't even get to fight her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroud Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Omg, this banner is so awesome. But what is more awesome is the new wyvern rider on the enemies side. Hardin is the most wanted! And Bold/Vengeful fighter are on this banner. damn. Also I need bold fighter and vengeful fighter..I will draw til the bitter end. I shouldn't have wasted 20 orbs yesterday.. Edited February 21, 2018 by Stroud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ae†her Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I wonder what Chill Spd 3 will do if more than one unit has the same highest Spd out of the entire team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Gunnthra's Chilling Seal does multiple targets with its own effect (when applicable), I'd say it's a definite possibility.

Ouch, that's an overkill on my team compositions especially since Celica is red, and my two fastest units are Nino and Ryoma, both at 46 Spd. Armor Emblem is going to be really strong nowadays isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilda Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I am not really fond of this banner, all we have been getting lately is armored units. Wouldnt be surprised if Takumi GHB is also an Armored unit with a Bow or so Also they went overboard with Armored Robin. Dragon with a DC breath built in + higher might + no penalty on special charges.... He will run 175 BST prolly. This is scary like fuck. Slap Steady Breath Bold Fighter 3 and Quick Riposte 3 Seal on to him and you have an all around Bulky unit no ranged unit can even touch. Its just dumb. Cant even attack with Julia or Deirdra because they will get killed in the Counter attack. Myrrh was allready pushing it. Not sure why anyone would even run anything else besides Dragon units anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in my first statement, I said his sprite had a dragonstone, the symbol of a manakete. Obviously Grima's been weakened to where he can only manifest part of himself. The breaths don't have individual weapon sprites to depict them, just a dragonstone since any dragon can learn the standard breaths. Grima also has the same sound effect summoning his head as a manakete transformation, Julia has no such sound effect as her "summoning" is a spell whereas Grima's is, technically, a transformation. Saying Grima is a manakete in the same way as Julia is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying Grima is a manakete in the same way as Julia is incorrect. In the battle animations, possessed Robin waves his hands and an image of Grima above appears above to attack. Grima never manifested his full body when possessing Robin, the most he did was summon a spectral image of his head to attack. Watching it again, Grima summoning his true form's head is very different from the Manakete transformation. Julia is a human possessed by Naga who can bring out little bit of their dragon power to attack. Robin is a human possessed by Grima who can bring out little bit of their dragon power to attack. Lorewise, Grima has no dragonstone as he isn't assuming a humanoid form of his own. Edited February 21, 2018 by Emperor Hardin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could affect the same unit and not stack but chances are if you are running somethign like Nino and Ayra in the same team, Ayra will get debuffed by Chill Spd (due to her prolly higher spd then Nino) and Nino by Chilling Seal (due to her low def). Resulting in 2 units of your Team constantly being debuffed. which is delicious :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I just want to say...Ayra and Lyn are going to have a very tough time against her. Being that their kits is based off of being fast (or at least, faster), Chill Spd is going to really drag them down. Dammit, when are they going to finish datamining?!
