Wow, it looks like Sigurd is getting full Brave Heroe treatment. I hope that we don't see a lot more if this in the future...but I'll let it slide since his skill spread is super defensive, which is way easier to deal with than if it was offensive.
I'm almost a little salty about Dierdre, but I only really ise Julia in Arena Assault these days anyway.
Inb4 they make Arvis a regular mage just to troll us. But yeah, i'm really looking forward to Arvis. I feel like he be a good partner to the Black Knight. Arvis will be a red unit though, because Valflame is a fire tome. I wnder what Valflame's effects will be. Maybe it'll be the first weapon with a built-in Close Counter?
I just realized that Sigurd will basically always take reduced damage from magic. Divine Tyrfing boosts his Res and lowers the amount of damage from the first magic attack by 50% while Crusader's Ward will reduce damage taken from ranged opponents by 80%.....which includes magic users. I think Sigurd might really by the Rein counter, aside from WT Disadvantage.
I'm actually really upset that one of my least favorite characters in the series is turning out to be that good. My only guess is that maybe his stats won't be too impressive to balance him out or maybe they'll make Arvis' Valflame one-shot him, regardless of stats. Otherwise, he'd be really broken. Even with the Ridersbane and Zanbanto existing, he still has Close Defense.
Don't forget that he will have access to Horse Emblem buffs and Distant Defense 3 Sacred Seal. Both of these things alone will help him tank both physical attacks and magical attacks.
With that in mind and the possible A skills he could run (Close Defense, Distant Counter, Fury), I think that Sigurd could potentially be S-Tier, maybe even S+-Tier. It all depends on how good his stats are because having all of these skills together will make him one insane unit.
They likely either give it a rather unique effect, like "disable all skills while attacking", or close counter, as all of Sigurds skills only work, when he is attacked, not the other way around.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. The previous Grand Hero Battle was Valter and he has Panic Ploy, a skill given him to counter Eirika and Ephraim (who are both buffers). I wouldn't be surprised if Arvis was a potential counter to Sigurd if he had a weapon that ignores all skills.
I have good news and bad news. The good news is, here are Arvis' datamined stats
The bad news is that he's not an Armor Mage. Damn it, IS. You had one job.
Here's his skill set btw
Valfalme is basically atk/res ploy 2.5 (if unit is 1 res higher debuff atk/res by 4). Recover Ring is self-explanatory and no, it can't be inherited.
We also have Arya and Arden's stats and skills
That's a pretty nice skill set. And she has a brand new Special too: Regnal Astra.
Follow-Up Ring: Unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack when unit's HP ≥ 50% at start of combat. (Skill cannot be inherited.) Factor in his Brave Sword and he's basically got 4 guaranteed attacks. Really deadly if you give him Bonfire or Ignis.
Edit: Looks like SmashBoards' image hosting is down or something. The images aren't popping up.
At this point, the powercreep is undeniable. Why does Ayra have a legendary weapon, an uniheritable proc skill, and a trainee bst? At least she's probably going to be a free unit, but its still upsetting how unnecessary having all of that is. The bar for how good future swordsman are going to have to be to keep up just shot up at least a little.

Yeah, agreed. I mean, i can understand why Ayra has an exclusive, better version of Astra. She was the first character in the series to ever use the Skill after all. But she never had a legendary weapon, unless you count Balmung, but Balmung wasn't obtained until the 2nd Generation. She never used Balmung, as Ayra is a 1st Generation unit.
Yeah... I'd honestly just given her a silver-blade+, so people can atleast use wo-dao for SOMETHING nowadays...
I am a bit scared of the now -pretty- apparent powercreep. Arya I can understand -somewhat- still, but... "uninheritable" worries me. That should be brave-heroes only.
Agreed. Uninheritable skills are becoming more common now and i don't like it. I understand Specials and Weapons, but the Skill Slots should all be inheritable (provided the requirements are meant). People would say power creep isn't really happening because of Skill Inheritance....and they do have a point. But if more and more uninheritable Skills keep popping up, then Skill Inheritance isn't gonna fix it.
These Genealogy units are definitely proof of the power creep.
Sigurd is a better Seliph and Xander without Distant Counter and Deirdre is a better Julia. I wasn't expecting much from Ayra, but her skills and weapon are so good.
Then we have Arden with a skill that's basically a better Quick Riposte exclusive to him and Arvis has a better Renewal (which mean he can run Fury and heal more than what is lost as his B skill heals him every turn). I'm not a fan of these exclusive skills either...
I feel like the power creep is going to be more prevalent. The better units they make, the more money they'll get. People want what's meta.
I did summon from the banner and I got Sigurd and Deirdre. Sigurd is +Def/-HP and Deirdre is +HP/-Speed. These IVs are actually really good!
BTW... I'm terrible.
As for Arvis... it sucks that he isn't an armored mage, but being voiced by Xander Mobus more than makes up for it.
Aaaaaand SmashBoards is still not showing the images. I'm only able to see it because i'm quoting you. But yeah, that's evil. When Arvis rolls around, you should Support him and Sigurd. No wait, even better, Support him and Deirdre.
Yeah, it is starting to get a little ridiculous. Not sure what possessed them to give Sigurd a clear weakness to magic since his Res is ass but then give him a bunch of skills that together appear to make him able to tank magic super well. And most of the rest of them have some crazy thing too.
also enough with the reds IS we have too many good reds to play with like goddamn
Deirdre! Her art is quite pretty. She's +Res/-Def, which seems to be a pretty great spread, since her def was bad to begin with, and, with +Res, she'll reach 38 in the stat.
Guess this makes up for me being unable to summon Julia during Hero Fest. And I spent a lot of orbs trying to summon Ninian again, but to no avail.
Smashboard's image server seems to be down, so I put the image on Imgur. Edit: It shows up in the preview, but can't load in the forum. That kinda sucks.
And, yeah, the power creep is definitely upon us. I was fine with CYL heroes having superlative skills, I didn't have a problem with Elincia, PA Azura was starting to be a bit much, and now pretty much everyone is coming out with excessively good sets and skills. Hm...
Friendly tip: Whenever Smashboards' image uploader is down for the time being, posting a link to the image is the best solution until the uploader is working again. Hopefully, things will be fixed by the end of the day.
Anyways, it's been some time since I managed to pull a 5-star out of a banner, and today, I got lucky with this pull:
Yep, a 5-star Tailtiu. I personally wanted to pull Deirdre or Sigurd instead, but I guess Tailtiu will do for now. She has a +Atk -Spd IV, which is hit or miss in terms of her sweeping potential. I'll train her up and see how she does.
I also think I will raise that second Reinhardt and promote so that I can merge it with my current for even better stats.
Except for Arvis and Talitiu. Arvis' stats are good but Valflame isn't anything too special. And he gets stuck with a dumb AoE Special. Talitiu is basically Linde but a bit worse? Not too sure on that yet. Talitiu should've had Thoron though, at least a special version of it. That was her signature weapon in FE4 and also notice how Thoron+ is an enemy exclusive weapon in Heroes.

Oh, I know why they did that. Trying gave a +20 boost to resistance in the original Geneology, letting Sigurd tank magic extraordinarily well despite low resistance. But they went overboard with this. There is no point in giving him a boosted bst on top of that.

More Reinhardt merges are always good. While attempting to summon Ninian, I did get another Reinhardt to toss on, although still no +Atk variant in sight.

Yeah, Tailtiu is the exception of the bunch. But Arvis still arguably falls in, since Arvis's default set ploys all stats but speed, and he essentially gets Renewal 4 with his unique B-passive. So welcome to Debuff City, along with another unique superlative skill!
But moving outside of skills, there's one aspect of the power creep that concerns me the most: Sigurd has an even higher BST than normal, sitting at 159. Compare that with CYL Roy, who has 154. So now we're starting to even get inflated stats.

I mean, I can get it, Sigurd is this extremely strong and honestly, even "old" lord, considering how almost all FE games are young adults doing extreme stuff.
I can accept this, if it only were him, but... yeah. Every unit BUT Talitiu is insane, with skills that can't be inherited. It's just... an odd choice.
But I have faith. I'll give them time till the next banner to see if they have something else planned with these unique things.

....but then how does Arvis charbroil him at the end of Genealogy part 1 if it did that ok the answer probably just comes down to "plot reasons tho", but still
Ok, that's actually broken. 2-charge Special that calculates it's damage based on speed on a unit that's very fast that also has a a weapon that is essentially Blazing Durandal except it replaces attack with speed.....who also has Swift Sparrow. This isn't fair.
At least Reinhardt ORKOs her tho.
I still want Ayra though. Thank God she's gonna be a free unit.
Edit: we have Arvis' GHB map
This looks way too easy. There's gotta be reinforcements or some other catch.

Honestly, I am a little disappointed that the Massacre of Belhalla isn't his Grand Hero Battle map. I believe it was datamined that it's going to be the last map of the next Tempest Trial, but I think we all associate that event with Arvis.
I dunno about you guys, but I plan on investing in Arvis. I do have better red tome users, like Celica, Tharja, and Katarina, but I think being a good villain and being voiced by Xander Mobus is a good justification.

So, which seals are you guys planning to build up first? Or are you buying out the ones in the shop?
I maxed out Distant Def, and bought the seals that cost 20 coins. I'm thinking that I might level up one of one of the speed or attack seals next, since a couple points for either of those stats can be really big for some people.
That Distant Def 3 seal has been really great on Tiki. With a dance from PA Azura, I had her tank a heavily merged Brave Bow Brave Lyn. The regular attacks did nothing, and her Draconic Aura did 2 damage. Lol!
I'm also considering changing Tiki's support from her summer self to PA Azura, since they've been doing extremely well together and Azura needs a great partner. While Tiki normally cannot tank magic well, as mine's sitting Res is 21, she can actually start to do it with Azura around. The Distance Def 3 seal adds 6 res, so that puts it at 27; with Azura's dance buff, it's up to 30; and, with Azura's Drive Res, it reaches 33--so actually pretty good!

Yeah, her skill set is crazy. She's really fast, so her sword will make her proc her special pretty much all the time. Could even toss the Phantom Spd seal on her, that would guarantee she always gains the bonus to her skill counter, even against the fastest opponents.
Oh, and is it known if Ayra is the next TT reward character? Because there's also Arden (aka Ugly Draug), so it seems like one is likely to be a GHB, like how they did it with Legion and Clarisse.

That's certainly evil, but I won't do that. If Sigurd and Arvis really love Deirdre, well... I pray they don't make a miscalculation.
(I'm supporting BK and Deirdre; I find myself using BK and Ike more than Ryoma nowadays)
He looks great, his ploy debuffing potential is unparalleled, but he's low on my promotion list, since I already have Tharja, Sanaki, Lilina, and Celica. Eventually though! Possibly. He's somewhere on the list of "To be promoted, someday!"
I beat the Emperor of Flames' Infernal challenge! It was a little tricky and I tried to do it with Sigurd, but you really need mage nukes, a dancer, and a magic check like Julia.
I also accidentally sent Sigurd in Arvis' path, so he became barbecue here too...

It was datamined that she comes in four and five star variety, so I think it's possible that she will be a TT reward. The same thing with Arden too; 4-5 star variety. Maybe they're both TT rewards?

I have Celica, Tharja, and Katarina, but I plan on promoting Arvis. He'll be a great asset to me in the upcoming Tempest Trials.
He's also voiced by Xander Mobus, so of course I want to 5 star him.
Got Arvis. The 3-Star version though because Lunatic GHBs continue to be BS. I tried using Olivia but i can only get to the second round of reinforcements. Michalis takes out the Blue Mage in one shot but Roy can't two-hit the Red Mage, which means he can't activate Galeforce on his own, which means i have to sing for him so he can activate Galeforce by killing the Red Mage so he can get out of the Blue Cavalier's range. But eventually, Olivia gets trapped between the two armor knights and the second wave of reinforcements and she can't defend herself because those Armor Knights are too strong, also the Blue Cavalier, also Arvis starts out with his Special fully charged and i feel that it's karma for me saying that AoE Specials like Growing Flame suck and Black Knight, while amazing, can't do much because of his 1-range movement.
Oh, and is it known if Ayra is the next TT reward character? Because there's also Arden (aka Ugly Draug), so it seems like one is likely to be a GHB, like how they did it with Legion and Clarisse.
I'd say it's more likely for Arden to be the TT Reward and Ayra to be the GHB reward since Ayra does start out as an enemy. BUt according to Xeno, Ayra was datamined to come in 4 and 5-Star versions, so maybe they'll both be TT rewards.
I don't particularly care about Arden though and i'm still salty that Follow-Up Ring can't be inherited. It would've made my Sophia so much better.
Just did the Arvis battles, and it was quite fun. I did a write-up for my strategy for Infernal on Serenes, so I thought I'd paste it here too, just if anyone is interested:
Completed all difficulties! I finished Infernal with Azura, PA Azura, Reinhardt, and Cecilia, but any dancers will do. I decided to do a write-up of my strategy, entitled "Dancer, Dancer! Horse, Horse!"
First, here's what I have for Cecilia & Reinhardt:
The key skills for Cecilia were Draw Back (Reposition would work too), Draconic Aura (or some other 3 turn skill), and Hone Cav. She doesn't need Desperation, Darting Blow, or a seal. However, her 47 Atk is a crucial number, since she would hit some enemies for exactly the necessary amount. If yours has a lower attack, that could probably be patched up by an offensive skill in the A-passive, or putting a Fortify seal on Reinhardt, or maybe Fortify skills on the dancers. She is +Spd, but I don't think that mattered.
Reinhardt needs Reposition (or Draw Back), DB3, and Hone Cav.
(They also don't support each other.)
Strategy:
The first panel shows the starting position. Have Cecilia delete the blue mage, and Reinhardt the red one (ends up looking like panel 2). Have each dancer dance for the horse below them, and then have the horses move up and assist the dancers to safety. End turn. The third panels hows the start of Turn 2. Have Reinhardt attack the axe knight, and then have the dancer below Cecilia move to the left of Reinhardt and dance for him (shown last panel). Then have him remove the sword knight, and have Cecilia finish it off where she is.
(Ignore the first panel, I had Cecilia attack diagonally and then danced to move her back where she was). The second panel shows the start of Turn 3. It's time for Cecilia to play Pacman: have her delete the axe cav (third panel), dance, delete the lance cav, dance, and delete the mage (last panel). Have Reinhardt move a block south, above Cecilia.
First panel is the start of Turn 4 and more Cecilia shenanigans. Have her dispose of the sword knight (panel 2), and then have a dancer dance her from below, and then Cecilia gets rid of the other knight (panel 3). Reinhardt moves up to Reposition Cecilia, and the other dancer moves to the square Cecilia was in. Panel 5 shows the position at the start of Turn 5.
Have Reinhardt kill the mage and Cecilia the lance cav (resulting position in first panel). Dance for Cecilia, and then have her head south to remove the axe cav (panel 2). Have your dancer dance for Reinhardt from below, and then have Reinhardt reposition Cecilia (resulting in panel 3). Panel 3 shows the start of Turn 6. Reinhardt kills the red mage, Cecilia the blue (last panel). Dance for Reinhardt, and have him finish off Arvis.
I know I've posted my Est here before, not too long ago, so that's likely a reference to me. In any case, I hadn't yet thought about who to give the Def Ploy to yet! It's unlikely to go to Est, since I run her with LnD3 and the coveted Hone Fliers skill. LnD brings her Res down to 27, which is still quite good, but not stellar.
Glancing through my other characters, here are ones that I'm thinking would be pretty good: Fir, Elincia, Mathilda, Anna, and Clair. Right now, my Fir is running LnD, but I might consider switching her over to Fury (should I ever get more Fury fodder), and I'd really like to make her really good. So she's high on the list.
Elincia seems like a pretty good choice for me, since mine is +Res (puts it at 31), her current C-passive is Fortify Fliers which is run by many of my other fliers, and she's supporting Brave Lucina, so I do run her frequently in non-flier teams.
Anna also has a good Res stat (31), and I frequently use her.
Mathilda would definitely like it, she comes with high Res, and it would help patch up her lower attack. Clair also needs some good skills, and her Res is 33, so it would be quite effective on her. They're pretty lackluster right now, but that sort of thing could actually make them pretty good.

Well, if you've completed all three difficulties, you have 3 copies! Presuming you want to save one, you've used one on Innes, so that leaves one available... So, I guess the question is, do you want Anna to slash more than prices? :D
I, too, would like to be able to merge the Askr trio sometime. But, even without that though, Anna is still really good. Especially in modes like Tempest. My Anna runs a build with Fury, Desperation, and Vengeance, and so, in the Tempest, she quickly starts running around maps at 1 HP. That means she can warp to any ally, and she just wrecks things with Vengeance. That also works really well with Wings of Mercy dancers, since they can just warp to her.
Hm... that's pretty tempting, I've almost sold myself on the idea of a Def Ploy on Anna, even though I was of the mind that I would look at it later! xD

I am running the exact same set, just with Ice-berg, cause I use her on occasions as arena bonus unit.
Noatun is such a fun legendary weapon, honestly... Def-Ploy just makes sense for her. And I have already Lillina, which I don't use, because of Celica. Another Red-mage could clog it rather fast... so sure. Why not actually. Slapped it onto my Anna!
Now we wait, and see an Pirate-Anna from the Halloween banner drop...
Part of me is a little bit angry with Ayra being on a separate banner. It's pretty dirty, and I know they did this for more profit because people now know how amazing Ayra is. I would prefer if she was a TT reward or even a Grand Hero Battle, especially since I don't have to worry about IVs.
On the other hand, I am glad she is not on the Sigurd banner. If she was, it would make getting Sigurd more difficult and I believe Sigurd is one of the best sword units in the game. I would put him in the same rank as Ryoma, Black Knight, and Ike. Building up that pity percent just to get Ayra, while still an amazing unit, can be disheartening to some.
I do hope that they demote her to 4 stars, and that might be the case. The dataminers did find out that Ayra has a 4 star variant. If this is true, I hope that she has Swift Sparrow 2 at 4 stars.
Now, I did summon from this banner in hopes of getting her and I spent some money. I didn't get her, but you know what I did get? 6 Eldigans. I'm not even joking. I managed to pull 6 Eldigans on this one banner in less than 100 Orbs.

Tbh, i'd also put Arya in the same rank as Sigurd, Black Knight, Ike and Ryoma. Which is why i think that if Ayra was going to be summonable, then she should've been in the FE4 banner. There was no reason to not have her there but you know, money.
Can't wait for Eldigan to destroy my pity rate oh, who am i kidding, i'm probably gonna get like a 5-Star Fir, which i've had for a while now.
Edit: LOL, NEVER MIND, I'M A HAPPY BOI NOW!
Sorry Katarina, but it's time for the new waifu to shine.

I say Ayra comes really close to my S+ tier sword units (Ryoma, Black Knight, Ike, and Sigurd), but I would put her at the top of S tier.
Her attack and speed are incredible and her defense is quite respectable; if you get a +Def Ayra, she will be one point lower than Black Knight and she's as fast as him with -Speed. She will be an incredible duelist and has an amazing kit right out of the box.
I only put her lower because her res isn't particularly amazing and she doesn't come with Distant Counter. Black Knight and Ike have poor res as well, but they make up for it with a Vantage set and their specials and she doesn't have the insane defensive skills as Sigurd. She won't get doubled as much as a neutral Ike, however.
FeelsBadMan
I am STILL trying to get Azura and Olivia with absolutely no success, and now I have to successfully fail at getting Ayra too, I can't keep up with all that....
I... don't know what to feel about this. I'm happy Azura, Minerva, and Olivia will be in the game but I have to pay for characters already in the game?
...Wait, the NPC characters aren't free? That sounds a little shady. But I don't know the full circumstances, so I won't assume the worse. Still, this game continues to make baffling choices, even after launch.
