I'd say Female Robin and Navarre are the bigger throw-offs when it comes to that trend. Both characters aren't major enemies in the way others are.
Navare isn't an major enemy? I mean, he isn't as big, but he certainly isn't a friendly fellow... aside the fact that he never turns his blade against women.

And for F!Robin...

But that's just nitpicking, I know.

I haven't played Shadow Dragon, but I do know Naverre is a recruitable character there.

And if we we're going off character natures and how some may not be depicted as friendly from the start, I'd say the Masked Knight wasn't depicted as a friend right away. While there was his first appearance where he saves Celica and Saber from the Arcanist at the front of Zofia Castle, there was the next scene where...

the Masked Knight warns Celica to avoid taking the eastern path through Zofia, but Celica refuses to consider his words despite what he did to her prior. Even Mae, Boey, and Saber initially react toward the Masked Knight in that scene by saying, "Yeah... this guy seems pretty suspicious. I'm not sure if we can trust him."

Then the four take the path, the landslide happens, and the Masked Knight saves Celica from the disaster. That is when she and the others start thinking well of him, but they don't warm up to him that quickly as Mae still admitted he seemed odd.

Honestly, I've been calling the Grand Hero Battles "Grand Villain Battles" for a while now. Not on the forums, but when talking for my sister.

And as for the masked knight? I don't think the protagonists not trusting him really constitutes as him being an enemy.

Either way, I just hope the Masked Knight becomes a playable character in Fire Emblem Echoes at some point. If not a GHB, then maybe a Tempest Trial? Only problem is that the current one is Echoes-themed, so at this point, I think his only hope is some normal banner... whenever that happens.

But,
there's the whole "Robin is a creature splintered from Grima" thing, and there's also the Grima!Robin that features as a mysterious antagonist up until the end.

As for Navarre, you're right insofar as he's not a major enemy. But he does at least start out as an enemy.

Contrast that with the Masked Knight, who you never have to fight.

Well, almost correct! But:
Played the DLC with the shatteres future, where robin is grima? I mean, if they weren't, then the ending would make no sense in that DLC.

You know, all this Grand Hero Battle talk made me think of a discussion topic.

To all the FE: Heroes players here, who do you want to see in a future GHB?

Considering the points that were raised in the last few posts, there's a few that I think would work pretty well:

-Flora (Fates): As of now, Flora is the only member of Corrin's quartet of retainers who is yet to appear in Heroes. Compared to the other three (Jakob, Felicia, and Gunter), Flora is the only one that is fought as an enemy in all three routes. She even had a certain moment in Birthright that was a key plot point in that route. All that said, I think a GHB would be a great way to bring Flora into Heroes. Unit-wise, I imagine Flora being a dagger user much like Felicia, but compared to her sister, she'd have higher Defense and more averaged-out Strength and Speed stats.

-Yukimura (Fates): Though an ally in Birthright, he is an enemy that is fought in late-game Conquest and early-game Revelation. Though he wasn't that memorable as a character, I think he'd be pretty cool in Heroes. He has the potential to be our first mounted dagger user due to his Mechanist class.

-Valter (Sacred Stones): Though I'm halfway through Sacred Stones, I've been enjoying a pretty enjoyable villain thus far. As one of the most prominent antagonists of his game, I could see him making an appearance in a GHB. What would be even cooler is for him to wield his signature lance. That way, we'd have our first Wyvern Rider in Echoes that can wield lances (yes, I know that would be reaching Pegasus Knight territory, but hey, it'd still be a fun unique twist).

-Lyon (Sacred Stones): I've seen bits of him in Sacred Stones, and he seems like a cool character thus far. I also heard he's one of the most popular villains in the series, so I'm sure many would be happy to see him in Heroes. Bringing him in via a GHB would be pretty cool. If they give him his signature tome, I only wonder what color would it be.

-Gangrel (Awakening): One of Awakenings main villains and arguably the most popular between him, Walhart, and Validar. I think a GHB would fit quite nicely for him. He could even use his Levin Sword, which would deal magic-based damage compared to Ryoma's Raijinto.

I definitely think Sacred Stones is gonna come next in line, after Echoes.

They have very little representation, and could come bundled with e-shop's virtual console release for Switch.

Either that, or it's an Fe4-5 villain, seeing as rereleases could happen aswell, in celebration to FE Warriors... so many things to consider.

Are the Renais twins the only characters from The Sacred Stones represented in Heroes? It would be nice if they include more characters from that game than just those two.

What's wrong about it?
Robin is a vessel for the resurrection of Grima, and, in the alternate future, Grima successfully merges with Robin and gains (almost) complete control over Robin's body. But the vessels are clearly their own distinct beings, and a little bit of Robin still remains in the Future Past DLC. Not all of the vessel bloodline are suitable for possession by Grima -- for example, Validar.

To all the FE: Heroes players here, who do you want to see in a future GHB?
Well, I think Aversa would be a good GHB unit, especially since we need more flying mages in the game. I'd also really like to see the morphs from Blazing Sword, especially Limstella. I hope they get good artists to do the portraits for them! And the Black Knight. I certainly hope we get to see him in a GHB sometime! Lyon would be great too.

Murdock and Brunya: As of now, Narcian is the only one of the Three Wyvern Generals, so it'd be nice to fill in the remaining gaps. Murdock's weapon of choice is a Tomahawk so he'd bee a Green Armor unit. And he'd likely have among the highest defense and resistance in Heroes, because that's what he was known for in Binding Blade. His Tomahawk would likely have a built-in Distant Counter. As for Brunya, they could give her Fimbulvetr. I'd say she'd be a Blue Mage.

Walhart: Probably my favorite Awakening villain, although Gangrel is a close second. From a purely design standpoint, Walhart probably has one of the best in the series. It's a very intimidating design and it's made cooler by the cape. He'd be a Green Calvary unit equipped with the Wolf Berg, which would have a built-in Distant Counter. He could also have that skill that negates Calvary weakness. I believe Camus is the only one with access to it at the moment.

Arvis: While i'm not a big fan of the Jugdral games, i want to see Arvis solely because he'd be Heroes' first Armored Mage. Given that he'd wields Valflame, he'd be a Red Unit.

Lyon: He's one of my favorite villains in the series. Given that he wields Naglfar, he'd be a Red Mage (since Dark Magic is usually categorized into the red category in Heroes). Lyon's character differs a bit between Eirika's and Eprhaim's routes.
In Eirika's route, Lyon is possessed by Formortiis, the Demon King. In Ephraim's route, Lyon acts entierly on his own will, because his darkest emotions were strengthen by Formortiis. I wonder which Lyon they'd use in Heroes.

Nergal: He was the first big bad that Western FE players ever saw. It'd be really nice to see him in Heroes. He wields Ereshkigal, so like Lyon, he'd be a Red Mage. Ereshkigal's animation consists of several small black holes with a larger one in the center. I wonder how that'll look like in Heroes.

Jedah and Rudolf: After Berkut, i feel like these guys are obvious. Jedah would likely use the Death "Tome" while Rudolf would use the Emperor Lance, making them Red Mages and Blue Calvary respectively.

Medeus, Duma, and Idoun: These three are Endgame bosses, but they are Manaketes. Young Tiki's and Ninian's Dragon forms are depicted as huge in their respective games but they are shruken down in Heroes, so the same can be done for these three. For Medeus, i would like to see his Earth Dragon incarnation. His Shadow Dragon incarnation is more well known, but Idoun would fill that role since she's the Demon Dragon. Duma would be an interesting Manakete, since he's the only Manakete in the entire series who does not use Breath attacks. I say Idoun would be a Red Manakete, Duma a Blue Manakete, and Medeus a Green Manakete.

Black Knight: He's one of the most popular villains in Fire Emblem.

Priam: He's not a villain, but a Grand Hero Battle would fit him perfectly. After all, recruiting him in Awakening was essentially doing a glorified Grand Hero Battle. Also, free Ragnell, i guess.

-Valter (Sacred Stones): Though I'm halfway through Sacred Stones, I've been enjoying a pretty enjoyable villain thus far. As one of the most prominent antagonists of his game, I could see him making an appearance in a GHB. What would be even cooler is for him to wield his signature lance. That way, we'd have our first Wyvern Rider in Echoes that can wield lances (yes, I know that would be reaching Pegasus Knight territory, but hey, it'd still be a fun unique twist).
Valter does not wield a signature lance. He only wields a Silver Lance and a Spear, along with a Delphi Shield.
Unless you're referring to the cursed lance that Valter grabbed, which made him more bloodthirsty than he already was. But that lance is never seen in the game at all. If Wyvern Riders are truly locked to Axes in Heroes, then they could at least give him Garm, as that's one of Grado's Sacred Weapons.

Yeah, that cursed lance was the one I was referring to.

I thought he still used that lance in the game, though I guess this is what happens when I haven't completed the game and looked up some details without learning everything yet.

Valter actually wields the Killer Lance and a spear in SS. You get the hoplon guard in the same battle you fight him in, even. As the resident SS fanboy, I say this with confidence.

Anyway, I'd actually rather see Glen than Valter. Valter was a great villain, but I still hate the guy. He has a sword equiped in the one fight scene we see him fight in, so he'd probably be a flying red tank.

Black Knight as an armored unit would be cool. They could even add his signature Eclipse skill as a stonger version of Luna. I feel like he'd be top tier just for Alondite and high attack/defense alone.

I expect we will see Julius eventually, with Loptyr/Draconic Aura/Attack+3/Savage Blow to serve as a counterpart to Julia. Maybe he's even be a blue mage so that he's weak to Naga.
Lyon: He's one of my favorite villains in the series. Given that he wields Naglfar, he'd be a Red Mage (since Dark Magic is usually categorized into the red category in Heroes). Lyon's character differs a bit between Eirika's and Eprhaim's routes.
In Eirika's route, Lyon is possessed by Formortiis, the Demon King. In Ephraim's route, Lyon acts entierly on his own will, because his darkest emotions were strengthen by Formortiis. I wonder which Lyon they'd use in Heroes.
I always figured both were half true - that he was corrupted and manipulated by Fomortiis.

Heroes would probably leave it vague, though.

2 new banners were revealed, both of them from Shadows of Valentia.


In Alm's side, we have Mathilda, Gray, and Delthea.


In Celica's side, we have Saber, Leon, and Sonya.

We'll also be getting Clive as a GHB unit.

So it seems they realized Horse Emblem is a problem and gave us not one but two horse-slaying weapons, Ridersbane and Xanbato. Also, every single weapon besides Leon's has an MT of 14.

Most importantly though... DELTHEA~

I was actually thinking that Flora would be a part of a Revelation banner, along with Kaze, Silas, and Mozu, but I think she can work as a Grand Hero Battle unit.

I would love to see Lyon as a GHB unit, especially if he was the green mage equivalent to Eirika and Ephraim.

Yeah, we only have the Renais twins. It would be nice if they included characters like Lute, Seth, and Myrrh (a flying dragon!).

The new Heroes look cool, but I don't think I will try to pull any specific one. I haven't played Echoes yet...
I guess Gray would be nice to get, only because he's voiced by Ryuji/Leo.

No, he really does just wield a Silver Lance and a Spear, along with a Delphi Shield. I think you're mixing him up with Caellach, who drops the Hoplon Guard when killed.

I'm grateful that these guys are here to stay because i still haven't gotten Swimsuit Robin yet. But man, Heroes is really cranking it up with the Echoes representation. Like, Berkut was announced yesterday. Aaaaaaaaand i just realized Kliff is the only Ram Villager to not be in Heroes yet. Also
We'll also be getting Clive as a GHB unit.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Why Clive of all people? I mean, i like him, but why is he getting a GHB?

Edit: I just saw the trailers. Cancel Affinity looks absolutely broken. Oh hello Reinhardt with Cancel Affinity. How nice of you to ruin my Arena win streak.

Man, July really has been going all out for Echoes. A Tempest Trial, Bound Heroes, A GHB (potentially two), another Echoes themed Story chapter, TWO!? banners.

What's next? A Echoes themed Voting Gauntlet?

Alm's Army vs Celica's Army?

After what happened to Faye and Tobin in Heroes where they weren't given their canon weapons, I'm surprised Gray will be using a sword in Heroes (I had this weird idea he would use a tome while Kliff would use a lance). Still, he's shaping to be a good unit with a great sword to boot.

I'm interested in getting all the characters, but Gray, Mathilda, Saber, and Leon are the ones I want the most.

Lol at Clive very likely being a GHB unit though. We just had a discussion how the GHB units were all depicted as enemies in some way, and Clive was definitely never depicted as one throughout the game. Perhaps Clive will possibly break the trend? I like him though, so I'm glad he's coming to Heroes as well. Hopefully, he'll be a better unit compared to his Echoes counterpart.

Yeah, I distinctly remember getting the Hoplon Gaurd from Callaech, and then equiping is to protect from Valter's rediculously high crit....huh. I'll have to replay that. Maybe his skill stat was just really high on its own.

Valter has a Skill stat of 17 (18 on Hard Mode) so that's probably why. For GBA FE standards, that's pretty high.

I just took out both Valter and Calleach by spamming Knoll's phantoms, wearing out both of their weapons each time they attacked. It took like 60 turns but it was beautiful.

Yeah, and that he's got an S-rank in lances, which should boost his crit as well. I guess that high crit just placed one of those dang false memories in my head.

In my last playthrough, I armed Cormag up with the hoplon guard and a dragonspear to take him on. Since Calleach is much easier to reach than Valter, I'm pretty confident then intentionally threw in the hoplon guard to help counter Valter.

Anyway, phantoms are downright broken if uses right, but the last thing I want to do is make a desert map last even longer. I just use them to lure enemies and serve as decoys, for the most part.

Edit: This just in. I'm not crazy after all.
In the cutscene where Valter kills *spoiler*, he's equiped with a killer lance.

Has anyone here ever received a quest from a merchant asking for 5 Steel Lances? There's actually a purpose behind it beyond silver marks and renown.

By giving the merchant the 5 Steel Lances, you would be unwittingly aiding the Rigelian Army in the Last Bastion (the map you fight Slayde, and before you fight Rudolf). Slayde, and four other Barons will be using those Steel Lances against you. Without them, the Barons get nothing, and Slayde is stuck with a Iron Lance.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, well good for you for being oblivious to the quest.

You see, you've been duped. That artwork is nothing more than fanart. Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams, but I'd rather the first FE game on Switch be a brand new game before we get a remake.

And even if Fates on Switch was real, Amazon wouldn't use fanart as a cover image. They'd just use a Switch game case template with the game's logo until Nintendo releases the official cover art of the game.

Gawdemit, I was afraid of that, I wanted to believe it was true after seeing the image of the art alone....
It can still be true in my heart, right?
It wouldn't be true, by thinking of one simple fact:

They said it's an all new Fire Emblem game. No remake, no remaster, and certainly not the most recent entry aside of remakes.

Also, thank god that's not true. They'd need to redo a huge chunk of the plot to make me buy this game on a different console, and even then, I know the plot, and they likely won't change much in gameplay... so no reason to re-buy it, other than it's HD.


Edit: And please, don't missunderstand. I love when games get an HD treatment, but a game this recent? Noooo thanks.

I wouldn't be interested in getting the Switch port of Fates anyways if it was the real deal.

I pity those that actually believed that **** ( yes, I'm talking to you too, Metallinatus. lol).

So much content has been coming out for Heroes this month! It's been nice, having all these new modes, along with a lot of opportunities for more orbs. I've been pulling blues in Alm's banner, primarily in hopes of pulling Delthea, but also wanted Mathilda. No Delthea yet, but I did get Mathilda! (And a couple of Subaki's, as per usual for me).

I then switched to pulling greens from Celica's banner, trying to get Sonya. Been having terrible luck even getting any greens in the field. When there weren't any greens, I pulled colorless, since I wouldn't mind Leon. And, when there were no greens OR colorless, red. No Sonya yet, but I got a Kagero with a better nature than the ones I already had (+Atk, -HP). I also finally got a Maria! Only one more Macedonian to get. Maybe eventually Minerva will join my ranks!

I pulled from both banners. I got trash on Celica's banner, but I got Mathilda on Alm's banner. Perfectly fine by me because I HATE Reinhardt and anything to counter him is perfect.
I summoned more from Alm's banner later on and I couldn't get anything good. I might pull again at another point because I wouldn't mind a Gray or a Delthea.

I wouldn't count on there being a pre-order at all. So, if you want her, be ready to buy her when she's released! I believe Amazon has a notification service that you can sign up for, if you wanted to get an email notification for when she comes out.
What if she winds up being Prime-exclusive like SS Link? I've already used my free trial and I won't pay for it just for an amiibo.
And Amazon's notification service is crap. Asked them to notify me when Alm and Celica went up, never heard a peep.

Seriously though, **** exclusives.

I just beat the post game dungeon today. It wasn't so bad as I thought it would to say the least.
That Trance Shot art from the Parthia bow was definitely a big help for me especially when two of the three shots I delivered to Grima were critical hits (thank the gods), which was more than enough to bring his HP to about 30. I also didn't expect for him to move out from his spot to go after one of Genny's illusion soldiers, which really gave me the opening I needed to finish him off (I didn't even have to worry about that Fire Dragon that popped up in his spot).

Took me longer than I thought it would to complete this dungeon and going through all 10 floors was so tedious I had to stop playing it for a while to get some rest before going back to it. And I was right to rely on the overclasses too.

As for the characters I used to beat this dungeon, I brought along:
- Alm with a fully forged Falchion
- Celica with a fully forged Beloved Zofia (I also managed to get her strongest art)
- Python with a fully forged Parthia and the man that made sure Grima got some
- Mathilda with a fully forged Gradivus...or whatever it's spelled
- Delthea with a fully forged Ladyblade
- Mae with a fully forged Zweihander
- Palla with a fully forged Blessed Lance
- Catria also with a Blessed Lance
- Saber with a fully forged Brave Sword
- Genny with a ring I don't remember what kind she had

I was so close to losing Python, Delthea and Palla during the boss fight but in the end, all that matters was I made sure everyone made it out of there alive.

Oh, and I got the memory prism of Duma and Mila arguing.

EDIT: I have no intention on getting the Cipher nor the Deliverance story DLCs anytime soon.

I rolled Gray today. I was hoping for one of the girls from that banner, since I have a ton of sword units anyway, but I'm still satisfied with this fool. He's +Speed/-Resistance, which is perfect, and he's Sword Valor is going to be nifty with all the sword units I've got.

I slapped Fury on my -Speed/+HP Ryoma, and he's actually still pretty good. Even if he doesn't always double, he still hits like a truck. He's now on my Tempest Trials team. Just like with Eirika, it turns out getting an unfavorable nature isn't really so bad.

It. Finally. Happened.
Unfortunately she has the worst IVs possible.... +Def -Spd, so she can get doubled by everything that breathes.
But you know what? I spent over 100 orbs over the past 16 days trying to get her, so I am just happy for finally doing it and will shift focus for other heroes, specially considering my track record for limited time characters is really bad....

+Def isn't worst tho, but -spd... meh, she still gets to 35 speed with fury and her weapon. Just a veeeery tanky robin then.

And hey, no reason to not continue to roll on her. With time, it comes~
