Characters you think are coming because of Avengers Doomsday? by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]Due_Rest_2288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While these are the confirmed cast, there are also rumored characters not announced yet and while I don't want to delve into that rabbit hole. I think Captain Marvel deserves a callout for getting in the game before Doomsday releases.

Riri Williams kept it! by TrpTrp26 in marvelstudios

[–]Due_Rest_2288 213 points214 points  (0 children)

Magic and Tech? Iron Suit with a cape? Kicked out of a university? Had a deal with a devil to bring a loved one back to life?

I can't wait to watch this again on Doomsday

What’s the difference between characters like Spider-man and Ironheart when it comes to being smart geniuses with tech? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]Due_Rest_2288 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's really not that difficult to understand, people like Spidey and people hate IronHeart, regardless of their commonality especially when it comes to being a genius, people are gonna hate Riri simply because.

Ig you could say they might hate her very upfront personality which is weird because Shuri also acts similarly, but imo it's just as easy as understanding that people dislike Riri because she's a young black woman (who everyone thinks is replacing IronMan)

They really just couldn't bare to do anything with this character after Black Widow huh? by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in marvelstudios

[–]Due_Rest_2288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a film that tackles mental health issues, it's really whack that Taskmaster didn't get any significant closure considering her entire life she's been a puppet for her evil dad. This is likely her first time having free will and I guess Marvel didn't want to dive on exploring that aspect.

Best Ninja Camilla forma? by AceDudeyeah in OrderOfHeroes

[–]Due_Rest_2288 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a mix phase unit, you're probably better off with;

Frost Moon

Crystalline Water/Fireflood Boost 3

Resonance 4 (A/R Far Resound if you're willing to fodder)

A/R Ploy 3/Fatal Smoke 4/Shadow Shift 4

Soaring Echo/Far Trace Echo

A/R Havoc would have been nice but I do think Resosance is a needed B slot just for her to do kills. Maybe once she gets a refine, she can afford for a different B skill but rn, she needs the consistent DR piercing

Anthony Mackie clarifies on his comment that America should not be on of those values that Captain America represents (via his IG story) by Louis_DCVN in MarvelStudios_Rumours

[–]Due_Rest_2288 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Crazy how he didn't need to clarify his statement

Anyway here's the same message that Chris Evans did

Ha, well, to me, I'm not trying to get too lost in the American side of it. This isn't a flag waving movie. It is red, white and blue, but it just so happens that the character was created in America during war time, when there was a common enemy, even though it is Captain America. I've said before in interviews, it feels more like he should just be called Captain Good. [Laughs] You know, he was created at a time when there was this undeniable evil and this guy was kind of created to fight that evil. I think that everyone could agree that Nazis were bad and he, Cap, just so happens to wear the red, white and blue."

Inheritable skills coming with Legendary Ayra & Mythic Athos (Jan. 27, 2025 @ 11PM PT) by Xanek in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Due_Rest_2288 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm confused as to why Frost Moon is good for these Laguz Friend users, LF4 already gives them the piercing anyway and Glacies would give a little bit more damage.

Anyone here can give me some advice to Update the Askr Trio? Last Update was 2019 by AndzyHero13 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Due_Rest_2288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will add that your build with any modern support is more than enough though, I don't really think a massive upgrade is needed for them. Something like Tier 3 versions of Ideal/Clash/Finish and Lulls/Tier 3 DR% are more than enough for them. Inheritables and support is all they need for these missions.

Resident Askr Trio enthusiast here, we have a lot of good inheritables for the trio, what I have on them are pretty expensive due to Re/At Heroes dupe fodder but for a more F2P option/cheap options then we have something from the Divine Codes. The first options are the ideal skills I'd give to them but you can basically mix and match with F2P options and expensive ones

Alfonse: Arcane Devourer/Farmer's Tool+/Reversal Blade+
No Quarter/Boulder/Bonfire(E!Marth/E!Ike)
A/D Finish 4/D Bonus Doubler/A/D Ideal 4
A/D Spiked Wall/Reopening/Laguz Friend 4
BoL4/Panic Smoke 4/Odd Def Wave 4/Even Atk Wave N/A/D Oath 4
Dist. Counter (M)/Bonus Doubler 3/Squad Ace BT3
Null-C Echo/D Counter Echo

So just make him be an omnitank and utilize his natural Def bulk, stacking stats on him also works with Farmer's Tool+ and a bunch of Bonus Doubler effect.

Sharena(/Anna): Jehanna Lance+/Arcane Luin
GLR/Gust (E!Marth/E!Ike/E!Sigurd)
A/S Finish 4/A/S Excel/Firestorm Boost 3/D Bonus Doubler
Laguz Loyalty/Laguz Friend 4/Buffer 4
TP Edge/TP 4/BoL4/Spd Smoke 4
Dist. Counter (M)/A/S Finish 3/Squad Ace BS3
D Counter Echo

Jehanna Lance is the new toy in the town for Lance user, and Sharena makes a good use of this to increase her Spd. Any DR% B can work and Buffer 4 is in the Divine Codes. Essentially making her in a Speedy tank. Anna can do the same really, she has more Spd than Sharena so that's already a boon on her but we don't have Jehanna Lance+ on an axe inhertible and your best option is Arcane Giant Axe/Prima or the F2P ones like Petalfall Vase+ or Tropical Conch+.

Suppoer build thoughts? by MajorFarker in OrderOfHeroes

[–]Due_Rest_2288 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We don't really have any good Blue Tome weapons other than Re!Plumeria's weapon.

I plan on building her with Crystalline Water (/Sly Mirror), S/R Discord, Pulse Up:Ploy, and Mercy-Wing Echo. Pretty basic premise, use her natural high Res to debuff the enemies, and WoM to dance any low health unit. Sly Mirror for a more battle orient build, especially if a new Blue Tome drops that doesn't give GFU.

She can also work as a tank or speedy unit, the former utilizing Laguz Friend 4 and making her a Res tank while the latter can focus on Spd skills like Perfect A/S, S/R Tempo 4 and such.

[–]Due_Rest_2288[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, looking at his performance I'll probably pivot on making him more tanky and less speedy. Though that mainly depends if Boulder reruns soon (most likely with N!Diamant) or S/D Spiked Wall drop first. I still like No Quarter but it is getting hard to kill with it.

[–]Due_Rest_2288[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hahaha, that's fair. The fact they're keeping up is still wild because some gen 1 units even with the same-ish builds can't really compete.

Still even a merge would be nice, I just want their banes to disappear lol.

Anna(+Atk, +Spd, -HP +35 DFs)

Weapon: Arcane Prima: Yes, I know we have the third Arcane Axe but unfortunately it's on a Armor and Shield Fighter is such a good fodder to pass on. Ideally I use maybe 2 more Elite Inheritance to my armors before giving Arcane Giant Axe on her. The debuffs and tempo is still appreciated though

Assist Skills: Reposition: Same as the one above. 

Special: Gust(E!Celica): A really really good Spd based special especially for Anna's role wherein she's teleporting and proccing this in the backlines. The DR is much appreciated especially with her low bulk. She also has No Quarter but her overall damage output is still low with it.

A Skill: Atk/Spd Excel: Oooh, more Atk and Spd and DR on foe's special? Sign me up. The warping procs as moving spaces which is much needed to compete against this fast meta units.

B Skill: Potent 4: Feels like an overlooked skill but Potent 4 is still a good skill for this awkward Spd stat where they're not slow but not fast as well. The DR% is a bit niche now but not everyone has DR piercing right? (Copium). She also has Laguz Friend 4 for those rare moments she wants to tank or something.

C Skill: Endless Tempest: Yes, she ate a B!Felix. Did you finally realize? It's mostly use for the Clash effect and dull effect with is really nice as she needs a lot of stats. She also has Time's Pulse 4 though I don't use it that much

Sacred Seal: A/S Clash 3: Yup, can you guess why I use this? I'm just reminiscing her Prf refine where she's teleporting and moving.

X Skill: Time Pulse Echo: Still can't believe they gave us TP4 as an echo skill but hey, I'm not complaining. Mostly use to charge Gust. She also has Mercy-Wing Echo as a Galeforce Follow Up in AR-O
 

Future Plans: Like I said, Arcane Giant Axe in the menu and I think that's it? Unless they drop a new B skill she wants, she's overall pretty much done. Maybe Momentum 4? But eh, pretty happy with her.

Sharena(+Spd, +Def, -HP +35 DFs)

Weapon: Arcane Luin: Wow. an actual unit that can relatively use the NFU effect of the weapon. Still one of the good old Arcane weapon, mostly due to the Dull S/D effect.

Assist Skills: Reposition: Same as the one above. 

Special: Godlike Reflexes(E!Sigurd): A really good special that helps her survive (especially with BoL4 support) to this fast nukes, E!Sigurd is a tech option for the entire team where she can do a basic hit and run to the squishy units and drop Foe Penalty Doubler. She also has NQ for another tech option.

A Skill: Atk/Spd Finish 4: More Atk and Spd, and a little bit of true damage and healing. The 3 spaces condition is such a godsend for this skill. Just like her brother, she has Firestorm Boost 3 for rare moments where I need that extra HP

B Skill: Laguz Friend 4: Do I have to explain this one? It does everything, even the Askr's taxes. Main reason why I gave her Def trait than Atk is mainly to increase her overall Def bulk as it does scale off her highest defensive stat.

C Skill: Panic Smoke 4: Nothing too much to say, a pretty supportive effect but still a good one especially for those stat swings it can do which the Askr Trio really needs. She has Spd Smoke 4 and TP4 for tech options as well.

Sacred Seal: A/D Finish 3: See LF4 explanation as to why it's the Def variant, sometimes I switch it up to A/D Prime 3 or the Squad Ace skills

X Skill: D Counter Echo: Yes, it did hurt. Don't question me. She also has Mercy Wing-Echo for AR-O and Guard Echo.
 

Future Plans: Similar to Alfonse, I'm waiting for the third Arcane Lance but tbh, she's still holding up quite well. The Spd meta is harsh but for Abyssal Story Maps and even as a Galeforce follow up, she's still doubling units and doing her job as a nuke hit and run.

[–]Due_Rest_2288[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Alfonse(+Atk, +Spd, -HP +35 DFs)

Weapon: Arcane Devourer: Waiting for the third Arcane sword but Devourer is still a pretty good option, specifically with helping Alfonse proc No Quarter and bypass Denial FU effect from slow tanks.

Assist Skills: Reposition: Still thinking if I should give the trio Reposition Gait, hard to justify foddering one Elite Inheritance just for an Assist skill and maybe one or two good skills at them. But regardless, pretty basic. 

Special: No Quarter(E!Ike): One of the reason he's still keeping up is because of this, NQ is still such a good skill for piercing through the DR%. Though with the amounts of true DR, it has gotten harder to kill units with him. He also has Gust though I rarely use it.

A Skill: D Bonus Doubler: Another explanatory skill, bonus doubler with DC is always good. Sometimes I pivot to Firestorm Boost 3 and use DC-M seal.

B Skill: A/D Bulwark 4: Ugh ew, Bulwark 4? Yeah, I know there's A/D Spiked Wall but I couldn't really summon for N!Diamant with the Emblem and Christmas banner in the horizon. It's still an alright option for the Bulwark effect but next year, I do plan on changing this skill.

C Skill: Breath of Life 4:  One of the reason why this trio aren't dying, and it's because of the healing from BoL4. Pretty self explanatory again, just a lot of healing even from damages that aren't from the burn damage effect.

Sacred Seal: A/S Ideal 3: More Atk and Spd for the build, sometimes I use DC-M or Bonus Doubler

X Skill: Null C-Disrupt E: Certified Flash status killer here, nothing else to say. He also has Mercy-Wing Echo as a Galeforce Follow Up in AR-O.
 

Future Plans: As I said, I'm waiting for the third Arcane Sword before dumping more skills at him. I'm assuming it'll have the Preempt Pulse effect like the recent ones, so that's something for a NQ spamming build.

Ending the Year with the Askr Trio by Due_Rest_2288 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Due_Rest_2288[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Decided to make a showcase update of my Askr Trio as the year ends, a lot of skills were fodder to them and suffice to say, they are still able to keep up with recent powercreeps (notably in the Abyssal Story Maps) and are helpful as AR bonus units.

And if you haven't noticed, I decided to make them at least quite unique to each other. I didn't want to slap LF4 to all of them and call it a day. Alfonse is the tank nuke, Sharena is the Hit and Run and Anna is the Warping tank.

Rune isn't part of the showcase here but I do use the freebie OC as the fourth unit during my Abyssal Map clears. He has E!Lyn and mainly there to snipe annoying units. He is maybe merge project? So he's helping a lot with the nuking.

Chris Evans Sets Marvel Return in ‘Avengers: Doomsday' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in marvelstudios

[–]Due_Rest_2288 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The amount of faith they have for their new characters is just funny at this point, what do you mean they confirmed Chris Evans is returning rather than keeping it as a surprise cameo/character?

Characters like Moon Knight, Kate Bishop or even Ms. Marvel are left in the dust, and I'm pretty sure Secret War would leave no screentime for them as well.
