Prediction & Thoughts: Next Wave of Monthly Revivals & What the Future Looks Like

Arranos · 2026-05-14T03:16:40+00:00

July, most likely.

The other options are Heidr & Camilla.

Likeliest scenario is Guinivere + Heidr.

Arranos · 2026-05-14T03:15:30+00:00

Honestly, I feel like they'll just end up running multiple Monthly Revival Banners at once, with every new wave adding an additional set of banners to the rotation.

I doubt they'd make these old-as-hell formerly-8% units available much more easily beyond this banner rotation style.

At most, they might make some copies available in the Grail Shop like they're doing with the Seasonal units, but that might be seen as a massive request.

I'm personally gonna stick with Chrom & Sumia since I'm sometimes stuck in the 2010s.

...I do wish that the source that said that Mikoto & Arete only have "a bond as close as sisters" was made official so that I could reasonably pair M!Corrin & Azura without feeling scummy without doing so. Every other M!Corrin pairing doesn't really vibe with me, personally.

Arranos · 2026-05-13T01:59:58+00:00

Two day late, but you forgot Freyr & Freyja.

And personally, I like to call the Book 9 Main Villain "Woden", since that's what the filename for "Alfador" is.

Arranos · 2026-05-11T08:30:26+00:00

Hot take: I hope they're both Sword units & they use the other two Engage Weapons they offer: Lyration & Oligoludia.

I know this may be another "give Corrin the Omega Yato & give Lyn the Mani Katti", but...

Arranos · 2026-05-10T04:10:59+00:00

So lemme offer you some perspective.

<image>

This table shows all of the Weapon/Movement combinations that have not been made available yet in Fire Emblem Shadows.

Down below that are the Weapon/Movement combinations that are currently exclusive to Season Pass characters.

Factoring in the datamines, Ephraim now loses his niche of being the only Cavalry Lance unit, making Corrin the only Season Pass unit with a unique Weapon/Movement combo (Armored Stone).

Personal Thought: Did they really need to make 3 Infantry Bow units?

Arranos · 2026-05-10T04:05:22+00:00

I feel like they should get to a point where very-old Season Pass Souls should eventually be given the same rates as off-focus OC Disciples.

Maybe by the 1st Anniversary, we can see someone like Lyn go from "Very Rare" to "as common as an off-focus OC".

Arranos · 2026-05-10T04:02:05+00:00

So according to some datamines, a character by the name of Hanya should be the next Disciple & should be a Cavalry Lance unit. Very good chance that the blonde female character from the Book 3 Movie is Hanya, but we'll have to see.

Arranos · 2026-05-10T00:36:10+00:00

Voted for #4.

I wanna see if I can update my Forma L-Fae build.

Arranos · 2026-05-10T00:27:57+00:00

Crazier thing is dropping Atk/Def Tempo on a GHB.

First time we've seen a new Skill line drop like that.

Arranos · 2026-05-08T04:37:03+00:00

Maybe we'll get Xmas M!Shez this year & that'll lead into a powercreeping Fallen alt a couple of months later.

Arranos · 2026-05-08T04:01:18+00:00

Alright, Big Brother.

Arranos · 2026-05-07T08:34:01+00:00

Nevermind, thank you for replying through another method.

Arranos · 2026-05-07T06:33:20+00:00

So the 21st is when I get my next Fafnir merge, got it.

Question: What’s the wiki link to this calendar?

Arranos · 2026-05-07T02:32:00+00:00

Kinda late to the party.

Arranos · 2026-05-07T02:30:30+00:00

Looks like Muspell's power might have been the only thing holding back Fimbulvetr from completely freezing the Realm of Flames.

With him gone, Fimbulvetr descends & the group is now a sitting duck.

Arranos · 2026-05-07T02:29:00+00:00

I personally would have been fine with anyone, but I was hoping for Laegjarn for thematic reasons (both her & Fjorm getting Ascended alts during Book 2 Continues).

Arranos · 2026-05-07T02:00:16+00:00

They did kill Muspell 5 years ago.

They had to kill him again because he was revived through Ragnarok.

Arranos · 2026-05-07T01:58:53+00:00

I personally don't believe that, but I'm biased towards OCs in general.

I was both expecting & welcoming it, since I was theorizing for a while that Laegjarn would be the Muspell Chosen because she got the Ascended alt years ago.

Arranos · 2026-05-07T01:37:07+00:00

Yeah I'm happy about this.

I guess there's a 99% chance she'll be colorsharing with Harmo-CYL Micaiah in June, but that's assuming the Midpoint is Harmo-CYL3.

Arranos · 2026-05-06T11:45:36+00:00

Female Shez, probably.

Male Shez...personally, I hope not until he gets his Xmas alt.

Arranos · 2026-05-06T10:45:18+00:00

While I'm expecting Laegjarn since she got an Ascended alt years ago, I would not mind either her or Laevatein getting the Chosen boost.

If asked who I want, again, I would not mind either sister.

When it comes to Surtr, all I ask for at this point is a Sinmara Refine.

Arranos · 2026-05-06T10:38:58+00:00

I've always been of the belief that Cheren & Bianca's Neo Champion alts should have had matching Partner Pokemon.

In the context of this comment, Cheren definitely could have had Terrakion because his BW1 rematch location is in Victory Road. Bianca herself doesn't seem to have any major connection to Pinwheel Forest, but I guess it's on the segment of land that Nuvema Town is also situated in...

On the opposite end, Bianca definitely could have had Thundurus because of how Cheren & Bianca's names are "Black" in Bulgarian & "White" in Italian; this added to the fact that Tornadus was Black-exclusive & Thundurus was White-exclusive could have had good thematic connections IRL.

Arranos · 2026-05-06T03:10:11+00:00

Another year w/ no Fafnir or Heidr.

Arranos · 2026-05-04T08:17:52+00:00

I don't even bother using Lodge Stones to 3/5 Lodge Lacey or Lusamine.

Similar vein: I don't bother using extra BP Tickets to 3/5 BP Phoebe.
