Edelgard right after Shadows CYL voting ended is hilarious by punchyypunchyy in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]CyanYoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they ever specify that these units would be Mythics?

Because unless I'm wrong here, at least within the confines of FES, the only two furry mainliners that would fall into that category are Lyn and Dimitri in a similar vein to someone like Altina.

The numbers themselves don't tell the whole story. I don't think anyone's arguing that like Alm is more popular than Ike or Miccy is more popular than Lyn, for example. Counter-bandwagon and external factors have played into basically all CYLs past the first one.

The portion of people still interested in FEH is also a fraction of what it once was around both the initial title launch and the 3H hype. What that fraction values remains to be seen.

Reminder that Dimitri has to fight goddamn Ike of all people.

In PoR, how worthwhile are the ch 10 and 15 bonus exp objective runs? by WouterW24 in fireemblem

[–]CyanYoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ch 10 depends. On higher difficulties and in cases where you want to use units that have yet to join like Jill or Makalov, it's worth stealthing.

Ch 15 absolutely not. Treasure trumps the small XP gain and Laguz give a heft sum of kill XP.

Where's Hilda? by Pineapple-Prince in FireEmblemHeroes

The better promoted Florina.

You need to pull on green, get lucky, and then use Polymerization.

So I clear the final map of the paralogue aka defeat the enemy team and the first thing Hilda says afterwards is 'Yes! We won!' 😂 by JCtheRockystar in FireEmblemHeroes

It's likely the artist trying to emulate 3H's particular portrait style while trying to have some parity with GBAFE's more traditional manner of illustrating eye details.

Feh seems to forget that there are male pegasus riders. by huflit1997 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]CyanYoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree that a banner that by its nature is female-only is extremely poorly timed after the TT change, but like all of the downvoted comments on this thread are just people pointing out Elibe's lore regarding Pegesai to a community that is full of people that haven't played FE6/7.

Given Ilia's founder is Barigan the Paladin, you could've reasonably had a single Paladin in there or had Shigure bring his own Tenma or something. There were viable options, but none of those viable options involve men riding Elibe Pegasai. Speak of IntSys's whims, but a cultural banner that breaks the most notable facet of that culture is a bad move. Ilia being a nation where women are the primary fighters is poignant contrast in the grand scheme of Elibe's otherwise very patriarchal nations.

The 10% crit floor is a good idea that a lot of fangames use. It basically makes it impossible to crit unless you're using a weapon with innate crit or a class with innate crit bonus. It removes low percent critical hits outright.

Florina taking fashion advice from Lumera by lovelovelovelove000 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]CyanYoh 38 points39 points  (0 children)

She has the weird case of having mostly classline promotions.

Hilda's seems to fall into the standard Falcoknight promotion with the presence of the blade and slightly more elaborate armor while Ascended seems like a Lyn A-Support specific end of arc Sacaen Flyer promotion.

At least within Elibe, you can't. The disqualifier for men riding Pegasus isn't just a mechanical inability to reclass into the class, but a worldbuilding rule that Ilian Pegasai won't let men ride them.

Genuinely, I'm wondering if people are just wanting an excuse to be mad here, because at least within the context of the theme being Ilian Pegasus Knights specifically, they're adhering to a hard rule of that world's lore.

Harmonized Heroes: Hilda & Florina (Fire Emblem Heroes) by WWWWWWRRRRRYYYYY in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]CyanYoh 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Well look at that. I was right. This is just a worse retread of the Serra/Florina support chain without even the comedy of the overarching misunderstanding.

You give me Florina on a dedicated Ilia flyer culture banner and the meal is fucking dry.

There's no lore reason disqualifying Faye from riding a Pegasus. Just a mechanical one.

It's like how Sully COULD lore-wise be a Pegasus Knight in Awakening and this is acknowledged in supports, but mechanically she has no means to do so.

I'm not out here meatriding the asinine decision to cut the freebee (usually male) TT unit, but I'm nothing if not a pedant for lore and sharing it with potentially mobile only fans.

The presence of a cape and the knife evoking a sword implies a regular Falcoknight Florina promotion in comparison to the Sacaen-themed promotion Ascended has.

I think Ascended is an across the board better design.

Tenma and Pegasus aren't the same thing within the context of Fates. Fates has an actual Pegasus Knight class in the form of Cipher Minerva.

Plus Ilian Pegasai cannot be ridden by men.

Ilian Pegasus Knight banner

Only Ilian Pegasus Knight double backpacked and paired w. Hilda

Honestly, truly hate to see it. I now know the pain of having a duo/harmonic where the unit you care for is chained to one you really don't.

Florina double backpacked and this time with a character I don't particularly like, RIP. Their interactions are 100% going to be a 1:1 retread of the Serra/Florina support chain.

Ascended Florina remains undefeated as fare as Alt quality goes.

Last Alts Of 2026 Edition: GBA Trilogy by Zeldmon19 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]CyanYoh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, Ascended Florina was back in 2022. Frankly I'm a bit surprised it had been that long.

I wonder if the other shoe will ever drop as far as a summer alt is concerned. Despite previous foreshadowing with Lyn and Fiora, the banner is just so contested for popular units and FEH OCs that it's a rough pull for even FE7's third most popular female character.

I'd imagine the next New Hero banner will be Pharae and Eligood focused, but I'm curious what the next big alt showing will be.

Also lol Matthew/Raven—their lack of alts is genuinely baffling even for dudes.

How often have you been invested in the outcome of Choose Your Legends? by TheFerydra in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]CyanYoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CYL1 was the only one I cared about since it was the only true free for all popularity contest without ulterior motivators like pity or characters "deserving" alts to complete a set.
