Not unequip, merely do not "learn" the 400 SP cost weapon, as after the merge, they combine their skills anyways.was a bit surprised I actually rolled her![]()
also dear lord she has Death Blow and a brave weapon but it only does -2 Speed
Why unequip the weapon though?
I looked it up, and yeah, he has Eclipse, which means a new Special has finally been added into the game! Though it's called Black Luna for some reason.
One thing that keeps the old units relevant is that you can still invest skill inheritance in them, if you want to use them, and a lot of newer units get thrown into the 4* pool after their banner is done. There is definitely some power creep going on, but the old units aren't irrelevant.
I should've worded that better.
I dunno why they called it Black Luna and not Eclipse... it's confusing to me.
I've been seeing discussion on this, and tbh, the only real power creep in the game is the existence of Slayer Weapons.
The 3-4* pool problem has been partially addressed. They flipped the odds of pulling a 4* vs pulling a 3*, meaning you're more likely to pull 4*'s than 3*'s now vs when the game was first released. This makes non-5* summons at least a little bit more diverse than before.
I've seen a fair argument for Slaying Weapons, though. It's only powet creep if it scews the entire balance of the game. Killer Weapons were underpowered before, and slaying weapons aren't really broken.
I had a feeling this was the case with Black Luna. Eclipse just sounds a lot better.
I do wonder why they created Slayer weapons. They're just Killer weapons, but better for their might.
I think the problem with the 3 star pool is less of the odds and more so who is a part of the pool. Since release, we have never gotten another unit who was a 5 star to be demoted to a 3 star. Some units are outright terrible and shouldn't be 5 stars, like Rebecca and Mist (the latter case being 5 star exclusive). If I was IS, I would demote some 4-5 stars to 3-4 stars.
Rein was mediocre before SI, but now he runs the meta. I think Rein should have his own tier just because when you make teams now, you need a dedicated Rein counter. I always have a Julia on my team just to be able to deal with Rein in Arena.
Personally, I would have been upset if they hadn't given Elincia Amiti. It's one of the few legendary brave weapons in the series, and I think she should be able to quad easily with it, since that's one of the notable features for her from her source games.
Plenty of characters have been added to the 4* pool, and they switched the frequency of the 4* and 3* pools, so that helps.
I have just one comment to make:
Really it's not even that, it would just be weird to not have her be able to wield it in this game for the sole fact that it's her signature weapon in both PoR and Radiant Dawn--it'd be like if they put in Ryoma but he could never use Raijinto.
The article seemed well-reasoned. With respect to Palla and Caeda, Elincia does sort of power creep them, but that's sort of to be expected because they already had bad stat spreads, especially Caeda. Pretty much any introduction of a new red flyer would leave them outclassed. That's just how it's going to be, some characters are going to have more optimal stat spreads than others.
Yeah, that's a big part of what I meant when I said I would be upset if they didn't give it to her. I also wanted to point out that having her quad easily with it ought to be a feature, since that reflects how it was in the game. And that I wouldn't expect too many things like it to be coming in the future.
This is a myth. The only thing that's illegal is forcing players to complete a set of characters summoned using the gacha to unlock or create stronger or more powerful rare characters, and I guess in China the companies have to post the summoning percent chances for units. They could nerf blade tomes and horse/flier buffs and whatnot if they wanted to.
Huh, the more you know. Thanks for clearing that up tho!
I personally avoid using my Horse-Team, as their BST and points won't get you as high as say with an infantry or armored team.I agree, but things like stacking blade tomes and horse buffs makes a lot of the game's content significantly easier due to how overpowering they are. I use a team with a horse blade in arena because of how much easier it makes arena. I also personally skip on horse and flier leads because I don't want them ruining my arena run. I put my horse team on defense, and this season I've already got 4 defense wins.
The team at the top is my defense team. Cecilia is a gronnblade user. Roy and Reinhardt have fortify cavalry, Cecilia and Eldigan have hone cavalry. I shudder to have to face my own defense team lmao.

Well, you get free feathers anyways from it, so shouldn't be too worrysome. I am one of the people that even uses up the remaining swords I have for a loss in intermidiate difficulty enemies to 'gift' people wins.
Eldigan is a great unit lmao. He's got great bulk for handling Hector, pretty much the one unit the horse mages struggle with. He's been a reliable part of my horse core for a long time. Though, now that I have brave Roy, he might get cycled down to my secondary horse team after this season, tbh. I was able to run 4 horses this season thanks to Roy being the bonus unit, but next season someone's going to need to be rotated out for a bonus unit.
The thing about F!Corrin is, she'd be soooo much better, if she just had more Atk. But I see, you went the Felicia route with her, giving her the super-charged special. It's really devestating.
I actually dismissed the leak and saw it as a clever photoshop (because after the infamous Rayman leak, i stopped trusting leaks, unless there is actual evidence supporting it or it's Coro Coro). So i was pleasntly surprised to see Lyn. Of course, from a PR standpoint, it kinda makes the developers look bad. Things would've gone much better if the "don't want too many swords" statement was never said.
On the flip side, Black Knight requires less investment than Zephiel. Zephiel may have better stats but in order for Zephiel to be good, he needs Distant Counter, which requires sacrificing a Hector. Black Knight, on the other hand, has a built-in Distant Counter with Alondite, which frees up his A-Slot for something good, like Death Blow. Add in his unnaturally high speed and the first new Special since the game's launch, Black Luna, and Black Knight will probably be the main Armor unit that people (especially F2P-players) use. I know that for me, Black Knight will be the only Armor i use (at least until i get Amelia and two Hectors, one to sacrifice so Zephiel can have Distant Counter....this won't happen for like 20 years. When Arvis rolls around, i'll use him too, assuming he's an Armored Mage).
True true. Meant it more like, for the people who already invested in zephiel don#t have to think that now they can never use him again, and built him for nothing. BK is an -awesome- addition for F2P without a doubt.
Elincia is really good, I've been having a lot of fun with her. Hope you get her! She completes my main Flyer Emblem team, along with her companions of Est, Cherche, and Summer Corrin. But she's also quite amazing all on her own! I was really looking forward to her, and I ally-paired her with my Brave Lucina (whom I am summoner-supporting). They'll both be able to take out BK when he rolls around!
Actually, Atk matters a bit less for the dragons, since they do magic damage and Res is often a dump stat for the units they usually face. The dragons are usually tanking melee units, so they can easily tank the high attack/high def units and destroy them because of the low res, and they can often have really good setups to proc their specials against the others.
That reminds me an awful lot of Hector...
【Tempest Trials Bonus Allies】

Here are the Bonus Allies for the Tempest Trials. In addition to bonus HP and stats, you'll get x2 exp & SP. pic.twitter.com/XCjb0XcPgV
I'm not surprised that the ??? option is winning. After Lyn getting in, I know a lot of people are hopeful that their favorite FE character not from SD, Awakening, and Fates makes it in.
Yeah, but we're going to see a flood of BK in the arena soon, so it's important to be prepared. I do expect him to be the new Hector when it comes to bringing him down.
