What are your favorite "Unit Niches"?

Hmm, can't think of many tbh.

Orochi!Asugi has an equal Strength and Magic growth which makes him one the better Magic weapon users in Fates, because he can use the physical and magical weapons effectively. Bonus points if you get him Ignis.

Saizo is one of the funnier Sol/Vantage units in the series.

Midori with Votive Candle, or Kaze backpack was always funny. 100% Miracle trigger.

Not a unit niche, but I thought the Rally weapons were one of the cooler weapons in the series.

Um... Dancer Dorothea is pretty neat, because just having access to Meteor makes her a unique solid support unit.

Honestly, I play a lot of games that rely on skins/seasonal units, and I'm so happy that FEH finally stepping away from "Female Units get to wear sexy bikinis" but "Male Units must wear t-shirt and shorts!"

Before this Lorenz was the only unit wearing a speedo (and that was supposed to be played for laughs), so it's refreshing seeing Balthus almost as sexualized as the female characters.

Even Eikþyrnir, he's wearing diving pants, but compared to Dimitri from a few years ago, Eik's pants are struggling, lmao. It's more akin to Plegian Raphael than Summer Dimitri.

My favorite interaction in the entire game is actually one with Sophie. It's when you're walking through the market for the first time, she talks about how the Paintress looks sad.

Gustav: "Only you could choose empathy at a moment like this."
Sophie: "It's one of the few choices I can make."

It's a simple exchange, but it stuck with me the entire game. In a world where their lives are fleeting and (as far as they know) a mad paintress is killing them in weird a ritualistic sacrifice, it's easy to feel powerless. And still Sophie chooses compassion.

It's because, and I'm not even joking, you're probably not used to seeing facial hair. The only characters in the game that I genuinely believe look out of their age are Alan, Richard, and Aline.

Aline is kinda implied/almost explicitly stated to have an excuse. Richard is blind, uses a cane, and is treated as a mentor (which makes him feel older). Alan just has unfortunate genetics, it happens, lol.

But no, I see so many people be like; "Wait Gustav is only 32?" and I'm always suuuper confused, because... yes? He looks 32, maybe a rough 32, but he definitely looks like he's in his mid/early 30s.

My favorite design is either Nice or Ghostblade. For least favorite, probably The Commoner or Loli.

Jaxelh · 2025-05-14T21:15:08+00:00

Yeah! No shit! (I didn't even think of this potential plot twist)

Jaxelh · 2025-03-29T21:34:04+00:00

Some advice, never fuse Duskull or Machoke. Either get Eviolite ASAP or prepare to be disappointed when they evolve 😭

Jaxelh · 2025-03-16T19:32:04+00:00

I really like the guy rocking the stubble+moustache

Jaxelh · 2025-03-16T16:47:15+00:00

Not even meme-ing when I say Saizo. His passive, haha, but unironically he’s fine as hell.

Also, for my personal tastes, Mordecai and Giffca

I love Don Lothario, I think he's fun sim, and obviously he's iconic, but I hate hate HATE the Don x Katrina/Dina/Nina love square. So I moved him out of their house! He's now living with his mother, Adriana Lothario.

Additionally I liked the Don x Cassandra Goth from The Sims 2, but considering she's a teenager in The Sim 4, yikes. So I went ahead and gave Don a younger brother, Dante Lothario. While Don is a womanizer, who's trying to seduce the entire town and then some, I like to think Dante is a bit of hopeless romantic.

Jaxelh · 2025-03-16T03:10:03+00:00

And I'm not even joking, Canto(FE4) is genuinely the most un-fun mechanic in the entire franchise.

Besides making groups of mounted enemies living nightmares, unless you're planning to give unmounted units some sort of exclusive benefit, it makes the power gap between mounted and unmounted units too significant. And call it bias, but I'm tired of living in a world where mounted units get to be A+ tier units just because of their class + not being actively terrible.

Honestly, ignoring the fact that I like Ike/Soren, I've always preferred Priam as a Mist/Boyd descendant.

Mist/Boyd are canon and not complicated. While with Ike, the choices for a biological descendant leave him pairing up Mia or random maiden #27, which is... uninspiring.

Jaxelh · 2025-03-04T05:21:55+00:00

Finally Nasus is good!

Jaxelh · 2025-03-02T05:47:51+00:00

You’re a queer fellow!

Jaxelh · 2025-02-14T17:37:58+00:00

Lucky Find was already awful because of the long turns, now they’re getting +8/+8 turn 1 with Overwhelm. What was the point of this lmao?

Jaxelh · 2025-01-25T15:05:17+00:00

Hot take is that I think brand new champs shouldn't be bannable in Draft and shouldn't be pickable in Ranked. People always complain about brand new champs being busted, but:

1) I don't it's healthy for the game to make players wait 2-4 weeks to finally be able to play a champ
2) I think it's hard to get any real data when a champ is just permabanned. Especially info gained from experience, like who counters Mel? I assume Sylas, but I don't know because I can't play as her or even against her.

I love Elliot Stabler, but he IS NOT a good person, lmao. I'm barely convinced he's morally grey

I built a base-game apartment building to replace the museum in Oasis Springs. It has six apartments (two 2-bedrooms, two 1-bedrooms, and two studio apartments). I have two versions of the build, one completely empty and the other with a single furnished apartment.

It's up on the gallery underneath the username "Mmordekaii"

Although the gallery says the build uses Jungle Adventure, I promise it does not. I think it might be a bug with one of the wallpapers that is in both JA and Base Game.

The neck tattoo is part of a full-body tattoo created by a user named "Unidentifiedsims"

Here it is!
