Folt Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Seems like the Amiibo-exclusive weapon skills (Strike Rate+ and All Stats+) are also going to be added as regular weapon skills now in the Awakening DLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torii Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 For those curious, the official website's description of Tharja's skill confirms that the damage taken from the skill will not affect the ranking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_of_Zelia Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 We'll get it Wednesday night though on 28th due to the big time difference between the US and Japan. But oh my goshy gosh. Olivia is adorable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Japanese site calls it something else. Also looking at Olivia's full render and screenshots of her. It's amazing how they turned her big cloth that she has on dancer rings into like strands of cloth for each. But I bet rigging that would have been a pain as well. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If it doesn't, I'm willing to bet that it will not in fact be called Nosferatu.) Anyways, if Olivia's sword is called Olivia's Dance Sword, that fits with the other "Name" weapons on the Japanese side of the convention so the localized name will almost certainly be Olivia's Sword.

The site just states her weapon as Sergey 's Daimon on the site, if translated by the site itself. I'm not really much of a JP translator. But I do know, Japanese names are completely different from it's English counterparts. Because Cordelia's weapon is called, Tiamo's Love Spear, which I'm pretty sure due to the datamine awhile back, it's English name is called Gungnir Edited March 22, 2018 by Legend_of_Zelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin gets Thoron of course, Lissa and Frederick get "Lissa's Healing Axe" (which we found in the datamine as Healing Axe) and Frederick's Armored Axe (which we found as Armored Axe) so they're likely gonna be called Lissa's Axe and Frederick's Axe respectively. So the prfs we'd get would be (the likely English translations): Thoron (for Robin) Lissa's Axe (for Lissa) Frederick's Axe (for Frederick) Cordelia's Spear (for Cordelia) Missiletainn (for Owain) Tharja's Hex (or something to do with magic or books, for Tharja) Olivia's Sword (for Olivia) Edited March 22, 2018 by Folt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahvi Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Well, that is certainly an interesting pose Owain's got there. I guess they wanted to try something different. Olivia's weapon looks interesting but I doubt it's interesting enough gameplay-wise for me to buy this pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wouldn't put it past them if they used those for Japanese version. But for the English translated version, I'm sure they will have different names from their Japanese counterparts..

The English Translations when it comes to character weapons have generally tended towards  "Character Name"'s "Weapon Type" (i.e. Camilla's Sexy Axe -> Camilla's Axe, Harold's Heroic Axe -> Arthur's Axe), especially if they have an adjective tied to it. Given that Lissa, Frederick, Cordelia, Tharja, and Olivia's weapon follow that naming in Japanese, odds are they'll be Lissa's Axe, Cordelia's Spear, Tharja's Hex/Tome/Grimoire/whatever can be associated with books or spells, Olivia's Sword, etc. in the English game.

It may be worth noting that none of the SD weapons did this. Even Tiki's which they kind of made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folt Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Just now, Arthur97 said: But I thought the weapons for the base characters + Owain were already found and they did not follow that pattern. Like, healing axe for Lissa. The Healing Axe was probably meant to be named "Lissa's Healing Axe" and "Frederick's Armored Axe" to go with the usual naming schemes for character-specific weapons. (And which they indeed are named in that manner now that they're officially unveiled.) The odd one out was Gungnir which was either never intended to be in in the first place or replaced with Cordelia's Love Spear that is appearing. Otherwise, all the weapons from the datamine did in fact make it into the game. Tharja and Olivia's prfs appear to follow the same naming and design schemes as the other character name weapons so it's highly likely that they'll be named Tharja's *insert name that has something to do with magic or books here* and Olivia's Sword (or something else that bring sword-type weapons to mind) respectively.

Mullen Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Wasted one night checking update instead playing the game... Whatever, the additional info on website is also very interesting. Previous Amiibo exclusive weapon attributes could be new must have for ultimate weapon. One of the new blessings increases the number of dropped material, which is something I just want for farming. Another increases every aspects of dropped weapon, would make it easier for perfect hero weapon. And it's possible to take video screenshot on Switch with update! Something still quite not understand is about level reset. It seems that the material(s) you get is based on the level when you level reset, but no information about type (personal material, general material, or any material you want), number etc. I hope it could save me from playing chapter 20 for 20 times.

VincentASM Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hmm, I tried looking at the Japanese text in Version 1.0, but all of the DLC weapons like Gungnir aren't in there (as in they were probably scrubbed out). There are some references still there though, like Frederick and Lissa having exclusive weapons. Anyway, just to keep things, tidy here's all the new info from the official site: Awakening DLC The gradual damage inflicted by Tharja's Destruction Pact does not affect the rankings after a battle. History Maps are Scion of Legend, Emmeryn and Caravan Dancer (based off Mad King Gangrel). New broken armor models: Chrom, Lucina, Robin, Lissa, Fredrick, Cordelia, Owain, Tharja and Olivia. New personal weapons Thoron (Robin) Lissa's Healing Axe (Lissa) Frederick's Armored Axe (Frederick) Cordelia's Love Lance (Cordelia) Missiletainn (Owain) Tharja's Hex (Tharja) Olivia's Dance Sword (Olivia) (Note: In Version 1 at least, Lissa and Frederick's weapons are simply Healing Axe and Armored Axe in the English version. Meanwhile, Cordelia's weapon was originally Gungnir.) New weapon attributes Attack/Boost+ (increases the damage of "Attack" and "Boost" atributes like Rainstorm and Triangle+) Strike Rate+ and All Stats+ from Chrom and Tiki's amiibo weapons. Version 1.5.0 Update Level Cap increased from 130 to 150. Blessings Speed Blessing and Luck Blessing: Boosts the respective stats for all party members. Healing Blessing: All party members slowly recover HP. Convoy Blessing: Increases number of dropped materials. Smithy Blessing: Increases number of dropped weapons, as well as level, quality and number of slots. Common-Material Blessing: Increases drop rate of common materials. Other It is now possible to record Nintendo Switch videos. There is an option to automatically apply the previous blessing before you enter battle (required materials will be consumed automatically). Can be turned On/Off from the settings. Improvements to the battle results UI. Bug fixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly it's a smidge faster than Astra, so Astra might not be needed anymore. However, it costs a weapon attribute slot. Need to double check how much Tiki's Tear added to every stat. With all of these additions, it really looks like a "final" update. Was kind of hoping for the villains being playable down the road.

VincentASM Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 @MrPerson0 It's fine. Having multiple translations is always useful. I think the new weapon attribute applies to Attack and Boost type attributes. I'm not super familiar with the Japanese terminology, but that's what I interpreted.

Google Translate (not the best, I know) says this: Damage due to weapon characteristics of "strengthening activity" attack system and special type further increases (Weapon characteristics such as weak attack reinforcement and strengthening strengthening are covered) Looks like they are reiterating that only Rainstorm and Strong attributes are affected?

Homosexualbeard Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I'm wondering if strike rate+ will stack with astra. Some characters are already ridiculously fast with just the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
