Though in Hrid's case, it's because he's that cool new OC on the good guys' side, since he is a sword wielder. So I think red bow Alm was slightly more requested. And really, a lot of people don't want many more swords in general. So that looked to me like Eirika's popularity was dropping. You also forget that there were a lot of people expecting Corrin (especially female) to show up as the new Legendary Hero given how we knew ahead of time that the new LH unit is going to be red and most likely of the water element - Corrin easily fits the bill here. Hrid doesn't have popularity (he was an exposition bot that showed up late in book 2 and was likely only there because Gunnthra and Fjorm were going to kick the bucket and Ylgr is too young to reasonably rule a kingdom, and late-story characters usually don't fare well in terms of popularity). Alm was also unlikely as he'd most likely be of the Earth element, not the Water element. Also, female Corrin would more likely be able to get a lot of sales from whales; Hrid wouldn't.

On paper it'd be about as useful as any AOE special build. She has a 'Blade' effect to quick charge the CD on Storm Seiglinde, and Lunar Brace would make it hit pretty hard on those in range (L!Eirika's Atk - foe's Def + (.5*foe's def)). Those with low defense already get hit hard by it before Lunar Brace, and those with high defense actually take a fair amount of damage because of Lunar Brace. It'd probably ensure that the main target dies without countering (barring Vantage), and the rest could be mopped up by the rest of the team, or she can be danced. You'd want to change her A slot to something that is effective out of combat, though, and I'm not sure it'll work as well as other AOE builds due to the lack of out-of-combat CD reduction that Wrath or Special Spiral give. Probably more useful for PVE than arena, but that goes for a lot of builds. Edited October 30, 2018 by YotsuMaboroshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats tend to be inflated to all hell, and I've seen what Pain and Savage Blow can do to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChickenBits Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 My favourite lord got a legendary alt \ (•◡•) / Man this is going to be hard. I'm trying to save my orbs to see what we'll get for 3.0 but I adore Eirika. If I do decide to summon: Red: Better ivs for Tana, chill speed fodder, and of course Eirika. Not a bad colour for me at all. Blue: I don't have the girls and Ephraim merges makes this a great colour for me to summon on. Green: Meh :/ I'm only interested in vengeful fighter Colourless: Just seeing Innes pisses me off :/ I've lost count of all the orbs I spent trying to get him. Genny would be great for wrathful staff. Overall it's Red = Blue > Colourless > Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Emblem Fan Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Eirika, huh? That's cool, I like Eirika and I'm happy she's getting the Legendary treatment, and she looks like a really good unit to boot! I am very surprised it wasn't Alm or Hrid for October, though, and I think I'm still going to concentrate on getting Legendary Lyn merges. Priority for me goes Green>Red>Blue>Colorless.

Could be the case of a very vocal minority (Reddit, SF, etc. represent only a small portion of the playerbase). Female Corrin is likely much more popular than Hrid would ever be. Hrid... - is not a waifu. - is not a protagonist/mascot character. - doesn't show up early in the story. - has little time to develop as a character. Why would the majority of people care about him? - is an exposition bot; he was only there to bring in tension by suggesting that there was a spy/traitor in the group (when there's hardly any urgency in the story given the slow rollout of story updates). - is also only there because Gunnthra is dead and Fjorm's days just got numbered at the end of book 2. Ylgr is only a young girl who likely could not reasonably rule a kingdom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaximillian Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Why is this Eirika so OOC? Why is she supposed to be Leeroying like her brother? This stands against what Eirika represents. Like Alm is always right and Celica is always wrong, Ephraim is the one they decided to homogenise the twins after. We got a red fucking Ephraim. Ephraim fans can complete their Ephraim Emblem.

Ylgr is only a young girl who likely could not reasonably rule a kingdom. Not being a "waifu" is a dumb argument because we've gotten other male legendaries. Ike, Ephraim, Ryoma, Marth, Hector. They're not "waifus" either. And Fjorm and Gunnthra didn't have development time. Hell, Gunnthra was made a legendary before she even actually officially appeared. So you can make the same arguments for them. So by the logic that they became legendaries, Hrid should be one too. Ylgr though, yeah, she hasn't done much and isn't implied to be able to do anything on a battlefield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landmaster Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 While I would have rathered Alm, I'm happy with Eirika, anything that keeps 2/3 of the Red units worth pulling~ Would have tried for Ephraim since I don't have him either but reealllyyy not trying to get cockblocked by Sumia Ugghh, I really want Lyn merges and M!Grima I'd love Genny and Innes, too but they wouldn't be the priority~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiddo Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) There's a difference between highly expected and highly desired. Hrid was highly expected. We've gotten OCs. Book 2 is wrapping up so unless he's going to play a large role in Book 3 this is the last time he's going to be relevant and thus maybe able to people to pull for him. He uses a sword and we knew it was going to be a Red Legendary. If IS was ever going to try to make money off of Hrid it would almost have to be now or never. Eirika... not sure if truly highly desired anymore but she's at least desired. A lot more so than Hrid, her CYL2 votes prove as much. Look how well she placed even with a badly timed alt release losing her votes. Alm is expected to be using a bow next time he comes around. He's highly desired but bows can be any colour. If they bring out another SoV banner at some point I'd suspect that would be his month to come out.

Landjager Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) 34 minutes ago, XRay said: ATK/SPD SOLO!!! YES!!! And damn, girl! Lunar Brace puts Black Luna to shame, although she will be missing out on Desperation though since it is not out yet as a Sacred Seal. Slaying Edge [+Spd] Moonbow - Noontime Atk/Spd Solo Lunar Brace Heavy Blade - Desperation Lunar Brace gives L!Eirika access to Black Luna AND Radiant Aether with her default weapon. With the Slaying Edge build you list, those cooldowns get reduced to 2 and 3 respectively. Insane. In the build you specifically list, I don't think there's any need for the Desperation seal anyways. Maybe for the 2 turn cooldown Black Luna, but that requires a Cavalry Rush/Flash to really get going which is unlikely to come, I think. EDIT: You could put Heavy Blade in her A slot I guess, but without knowing her attack stat just yet, it would be hard to judge if she can sacrifice the damage output, let alone even use the skill effectively. Will be neat to see though. Edited October 30, 2018 by Ressueah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the majority of people care about him? tbf that description fits to every Heroes OC, so ... What can I say? FEH is dominated by alts now, that was supposed to be expected. Atk/Spd Solo is disgusting. Solo skills are a mistake. I'm pretty sure Lunar Brace is not the Luna effect, instead it deals true damage. It's still pretty powerful though and stacking it with other effects makes it pretty scary. Though cooldown addition is a bit iffy, especially on a Cavalier who does not have access to any kind of cooldown reduction aside from Slaying weapons. At least we can now hope that Eliwood gets his rightful treatment and receives a Legendary version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisy jane Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 so what what will be interesting is how to use L!Eirika with a dancer. if the Lunar Brace means she is more powerful alone and not adjacent to people. she wouldn't benefit from dancing? if i'm understanding that correctly?

Moonbow goes from 2 turns to 3, just like Black Luna. Sol goes from 3 turns to 4, just like Radiant Aether. Unless I'm missing something...
