I wouldn't be surprised if they made a brand new Fujin Yumi, even though it is getting buffed through weapon forging. It needs a new built-in skill that isn't Pass.
Hahaha... When the best thing about the banner is a unconventional Archer (Faye) and a generic lancer (Lukas).... There is something very wrong here... I'm mean, Alm is the character... and he got demolished so hard xD.
That's exactly what forging would do to it, actually. They showed that if you upgraded Ephraim's Siegmund that one of the options would be to have a built in "brash assault" that works when he's over 90% health instead of under 50%. And this is also while retaining the Hone Attack effect on top of that. Other legendary weapons would probably get similar, powerful effects as well.
Faye was either the worst unit or the second worst unit on the banner... she competes with Clair real hard for that "honor."
Hopefully the skills we can get for the Fujin Yumi will be good. I want something to justify using it over a Brave Bow, but I doubt we will see something with a Brave effect to it. I'll wait and see what the best skill would be for the Fujin Yumi.
I would love to use Leo on my teams and he's one of my favorite characters in Fates, but he comes across as mediocre. I remember that he was really hard to train when I first got him and I don't use him on my Horse Emblem teams... but he is a good candidate with Raurblade from what I've heard.
Well, now he is, but back then, i think he was one of the better sword users out there tbh. He was on my main team for a while. Then i got B!Roy. Then i got Black Knight. Then i got Ayra. Yeah, Alm pretty much fell behind when i got Black Knight and Ayra was the final nail in his coffin.
As a unit Faye wasn't exactly great (personally I find her more useful that Alm and Clair)... but she had the best skill set in the banner (not exactly the best for her stats, but you can do funny things with it, or give to a unit that can use it better... like of course, the S+ Goddess Brave Lyn).
Yeah, I'll admit I mostly use him out of favoritism. I haven't inherited a blade tome onto him, but it sounds pretty good in theory. With +30 damage from horse boost alongside his built in QR, he should be able to kill most enemies so long as they initiate the attack. His low speed means he'll be taking a lot of damage in return though, so he'd still be pretty risky. Not to mention that he'd still be weak on player phase. But at least he's also got a total monopoly on red horse mages, so he doesn't have to compete with some faster red tome for his niche. Raventomes are also good since he has fairly decent defense for a mage, although he has to compete green raventome users since they beat both Bow Lyn and Reinhardt. I haven't tried either of those sets yet, though, since equipping anything but Brynhilde feels wrong.
While I want Ophelia to be in the game, I'm sort of hoping I can save up some orbs lol. I'm fully expecting Kana to be in there, wielding a dragonstone, and probably Seigbert and/or Shiro.
I've definitely found Faye to be more useful than Clair. She actually has a niche role of being a good chipper/debuffer for me, and is perhaps one of the best in the game. This makes her pretty useful to have tag along for training, since she can soften up enemies pretty easily without killing them, and her bulkiness keeps her safe on training runs. And any archer with the Firesweep Bow is pretty useful to have on hand for Arena Assault, since they're good at kiting. So my Faye actually sees a decent amount of use.
Felicia really should benefit from Flashing Blade, since she's quite fast and relies on her special for dealing damage. I like seeing builds like these. I lucked out and pulled another Mia myself (my first is +HP/-Spd, and the second is +Res/-HP), so I'm debating whether I want to merge them or have Fir inherit Flashing Blade. It also doesn't help that I'm sort of undecided which nature I prefer.decided what to do with the spare, bad iv mia:
![]()
the other +spd -def mia will be on my horse emblem team for the upcoming tempest trials
When you put it that way, Faye is a bit more useful than I thought. While I still think that others would benefit from Firesweep Bow more than her, being able to chip enemies in Training Tower is very useful. If I get her, I won't sac her to Takumi for this reason because I have units that I want to train, but they struggle to get the KO.
He's pretty much an armored unit with 2 movement. While mages can sneeze in his direction and he'll fall, he is still a monster with Bonfire.
I would mainly give it to a unit with a lot of physical defense, such as Hector for example.
Those IVs... ouch...
Distant Defense is a good sacred seal for the Black Knight. Works nicely with Steady Stance and Alondite's built-in DC to help him handle more kinds of units on enemy phase.
Delthea would love that fancy new Hone Speed Seal to match her unique tome. That way, she can give give her allies both +6 attack and +4 speed at the same time.
Yeah, it'll be nice to give him a Slaying Lance when the weapon upgrades come out. He actually has better defenses than most of my actual armor units.
For BK, I would say go with Distant Def or Panic Ploy; Delthea, +Atk, +Spd, or Atk Ploy (assuming she's not running LnD); and PA Azura would enjoy one of the spur seals.
Depends on how much you want to invest in her, and what you want to use her for. I plan on eventually giving her an infantry mage killer build, with a Poison Dagger+ as her weapon, either Fury 2/3 or Atk+3 in the A-slot and Vantage in the B-slot. I'm going the 4*+10 route, and she's up to 8 merges so far, so I'll probably try to do this sometime soon! With this, she should be pretty decent at tanking and one-shotting infantry mages, and Vantage let's her deal with infantry archers better (or multiple mages). Ardent Sacrifice will be her Assist, which pairs well with Vantage.
Hope to talk with you again!Black Knight: As a unit with Distant Counter built into his weapon, Distant Defense is amazing on him. It helps him check units even more and it helps him with his poor Res.
I think they're a great way to relax and talk with people.
I'm gonna give it a pass this one time because it could be justified in how the Children units would end up a bit stronger than their parents. But yeah, this BST powercreep needs to stop.
Lucina doesn't have a boosted BST. Heck, Brave Lucina and Brave Roy don't. They're just doing it because the CYL taught them that powercreep is easy money. That's why it's been so consistent these past few banners.
I am annoyed by the Power Creep too. I don't want to use the whole child units thing as an excuse... these units are clearly powerful and it hurts.
The problem here is that characters like Celica, while extremely powerful, are still balanced. Celica has an extremely powerful prf weapon, but the new weapon refinery keeps other mages from being outclassed as her statspread is actually balanced. It's the same with these others - they're powerful, and generally better then most units in their class, but their balanced BSTs keep them from shutting down all other possible niches.
