I'm not as anti-alt as a lot of people, but I at least want alts to fill a different niche. Zelgius and LA Hector also annoy me for the same reasons. I don't know what they could have done with Zelgius, but Legendary Ike should have been an armor and LA Hector should have been infantry, that would have helped make them at least somewhat different than their original version. Because you're right, really the only reason to use Ike vs LIke is maybe easier merging? But even then Ike hasn't been on that many banners. Zelgius could've had an Ashera-blessed version. Or, even better, not have existed. One of the most useless additions in the entire FEH cast--a huge spoiler done effortlessly via repeated art, whose only purpose is to blatantly powercreep a version of HIMSELF released just a few months prior. Oh, and he gained defense by removing his helmet. Like... why? As for merging, Legendary Ike is easier to get than Vanilla Ike. Case in point, I have four Legendary Ikes. 11 minutes ago, KefkaFFVI said: Vanilla Ike exists so you can make Soren's dream team of himself and three Ikes. This is true. I still need to carry out the team I designed, after having pulled Fallen Celica to give Chill Speed to Soren. Brave for defense, Legendary for res, Vanilla for offense/general?

Surge135 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Legendary Hero Lyn is our first colored Bow unit. Disgusting Quote Link to comment
Elemental Hero Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Holy shit, that came out of nowhere. And they broke the pattern. To give us another Lyn alt. At one point in the game, there were so many Lyn alts that you could make an entire team out of every Lyn. Now there are so many Lyns in the game that you can no longer make an entire team out of every Lyn. Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 This wouldn’t be so bad if she at least had a new outfit. This one is the exact same as Brave; just drawn by a different artist. Quote Link to comment
Igneous42 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Really another Lyn? Ok I wasn't complaining about alts too much up till now but that makes 5 Lyns. Guess it means I continue to get to save my orbs though. When something I do want comes I'll have a pretty good stockpile at this rate. Quote Link to comment
L'Arachel Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 So, @Ephraim and I were brainstorming what the next Legendary Hero might be last week. I'm just going to leave this here... Tyranogre, Chrom, Ephraim and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment
Ephraim Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 CALLED IT L'Arachel 1 Quote Link to comment
Alice Phantasma Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 You did this. I'm not even upset about green lyn but this is your fault. Quote Link to comment
Elemental Hero Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Playing around with the GamePress summon simulator, thinking of what my 300 orbs might get. It's been ages since I've summoned from blue or colorless, but hey... First sim got me 4 Inigo merges and 3 Lyns. Second got 7, including one of each plus four Celicas. The third run did not pull a 5* until over 300 orbs in. The results have been so wild and erratic--getting up to a 14% pity rate multiple times. Can you imagine dumping 300 orbs into an 8% summon rate without getting a single 5*? Edited April 27, 2018 by Destiny Hero Quote Link to comment
avalonknight Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Should feel like Lisa here in a way, but ultimately siding with Smithers... ...because Lyn and her differently colored cape. Doc Brown, Alice Phantasma and L'Arachel 3 Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Got pity-broken by Innes going for Kinshi Knight Hinoka, figured I would summon the two greens that were in the circle with the same summon rate and got a F!Kana. So I'm just missing Kinshi Knight Hinoka from this banner now. This game can be so infuriating! Blargh! Quote Link to comment
Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I know how you feel. Eirika was always a tease. Quote Link to comment
Alice Phantasma Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I haven't tried the banner because hinoka'd be the only one I'd want, and I really don't want to go sniping and go down that hell either. Plus I figured ayra was better for me for merges if I were to do that. Quote Link to comment
Stephen 776 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) y'all remember in FE7 how lyn taught you the weapon triangle. Well, she's here to do it again: Spoiler found courtesy of the bf. Edited April 30, 2018 by KefkaFFVI Elemental Hero, Doc Brown and Tyranogre 3 Quote Link to comment
L'Arachel Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 So, the good news is that I have almost 400 Orbs saved up for this Legendary banner tomorrow; 391 to be exact. The other good news is that both other times that I've had metric fucktonnes of Orbs saved up I've had good luck with them. The bad news is that, now that I've said this, I've jinxed myself and my luck tomorrow is going to be horrible. Regardless, I've done a lot of thinking and planning, and I think sniping Blue/Colourless is my best bet. My man Legendary Ephraim is the main reason I wanted to save Orbs for this banner in the first place. In terms of the others, I never got Shigure from the PA banner so I wouldn't mind one of him, nor would I mind a better natured Micaiah to merge my current -Def/+Res one into. Similarly, Colourless is mostly hoping for a better merge for my poor -Atk F!Grima, and Halloween Jakob seems fun and I could use a better selection of armours. Genny is the least useful of all six heroes in these colours for me, but nabbing one would let me toss Wrathful Staff onto Lissa for fun or something. The other colours are less useful for me. For Red, I would really, really love Knoll horse-riding Eirika, but it doesn't seem worth it when I'm not invested at all into the others. I already have both Evil Celica and Legendary Ike, with a spare of the latter as well from the free hero promo thing. I don't really get enough use out of either to warrant a desire for merges. For Green, Halloween Henry would be fun but not very useful, since all my existing good armours are already green, and Inigo would be a wash dupe. Lyn is the most enticing option here, but... I'm torn on whether I even want her or not because I do need a good archer still and she seems pretty powerful and I've always liked Lyn as a character, but like many other players I think she's getting way too many alts so the whole thing is kind of a downer. If I were spending all ~400 of my Orbs, I might be a bit less careful, but I'm only aiming to spend 200 or so. I want to hold onto some Orbs in hopes that L'Arachel will come back again with the next 4* banner later in May, and Christmas heroes will be back for the end-May Legfehst, and I really want a shot at hopefully getting a Christmas Tharja to aid my Armour Emblem. So, hopefully I can still pull a fair amount of decent stuff with just 200 Orbs, ideally a good Ephraim and F!Grima, and maybe a few other things along the way. So, yeah, Blue/Colourless except for pulling a full circle if/when I get a 5* with a decent pity percentage, since I might as well make use of it. And stopping at our around 200 Orbs left. Why did I bother typing this, you may ask? For emotional strength. It's so easy for me to get distracted by shinies and I'm really afraid of just blowing all my Orbs on literally everything, especially if my pulls start going badly (which they will because I jinxed myself, remember?) and I get desperate for something good. It probably seems kind of silly, but rambling out loud like this helps cement my decisions and hold me accountable to them. Quote Link to comment
Chrom Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Personally I have my eye on Legendary Lyn, specifically her Speed Tactic skill. I think inheriting it would be very useful for my existing teams and add a new layer to my strategies for high level content. Quote Link to comment
Elemental Hero Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Checking in with 314 orbs, 243,000 feathers. I don't even know what to spend those feathers on. So many of my favorite units are exclusives. I can only think of Niles and Leon, but my Niles has a perfect stat spread of 45/40/40/15/40, and more Leons would require colorless summons. I despise Reinhardt for shifting the entire metagame toward an abundance of overpowered green units. Especially in 2018, there have rarely been any blue or gray units worth chasing..

Chrom Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Brought home a Micaiah from the legendary banner tonight. Pretty cool since she was one of the other characters I was also hoping to get, though I don't plan on actually using her. Distant Defense, Guard, and Drive Attack are all great skills.
