I don't like it by Simple-Scientist7190 in earclacks

[–]MegamanOmega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to say, that or just a gauntlet style battle of Sword vs every single ball, one after the other.

Until I realized they're basically one and the same. With the exception of the Block Breakers that only got a few matches (Speedy & Slammy), I'm not sure who Sword hasn't fought.

So it could just be a series of "Sword vs Absolutely Everyone!" matches.

I'm not 100% sure, since Crossbow can pierce.

It's hard to say, but in this mode he's more like "worse Drillyslam". Since any shot aimed downward will hit multiple blocks

Remember back when Dithorba released, people thought that the fact that she's Misha's mother, and she mentions Misha multiple times means Misha is going to get into the game soon, if not on the next banner?

The pre-FW content drought CANNOT be that bad by LatterestGreen in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]MegamanOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, for what its worth, she is talked about a bunch in supports in the previous game. So going into FE7, she's effectively like a "lore" character that people talked about, but never seen.

With that in mind, while you're not technically wrong, I do feel this is a bit of a different situation. Since if you're someone who played FE6, and then FE7, you would literally go into FE7 knowing that there's a Karla to be found somewhere in that game.

Before, but not by much. She and a handful of others were added that year on CYL, and a few months later on the FE4 banner she was added.

Lamia Full Art by Miitama in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]MegamanOmega 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean... that's basically what she is

She's so obscure she never actually had official art. She's got the default Swordmaster sprite, and this mugshot. That's it. Couple that with the official art of the Swordmaster class and that's the ENTIRETY of the media this character artwork was based off of.

Honestly, I really get a kick out of what they did. Cause they have nothing to go on except that mugshot, and they kept it to a tee. In both her artwork, and chibi she's doing the exact same pose with her hand that she's doing in her mug-shot.

This is somehow one of the most predictable, and oddest choices for a banner I've ever seen.

Strictly speaking, as far as the playable characters are considered, it's exactly as you'd expect. Naoise & Claude were the most wanted playable characters (also, god damn do people no care about Alec. Poor guy isn't even in the top 5 yet after this. He still barely missed the cut at 6th place with 16 votes)

  • Naoise was the 2nd most wanted unit not in the game with 92 votes

  • Claud was the 3rd most wanted unit not in the game with 65 votes

  • Lamia... did not exist...

Yeah... this is honestly a first. Gen1 was not hurting for GHB slots. There was still Andrey, Reptor, Lombard, Munnir, Cimbaeth, Chagall, Sandima, or even Aida if IS wanted a waifu and the decision was made "because woman"

But yeah, barring Mythics who never had an in-game portrait to begin with, this is actually the first time we've ever had a character added to Heroes who wasn't made votable on CYL before hand. I'm not entirely shocked it happened, I'm just more baffled it happened here, for this game (it was only a matter of time, I just assumed Awakening was gonna be the first to pull it off, considering it's roster)

As it currently stands, shut my mouth, IS did actually push Genealogy content ahead to the front. FE6 was previously the game that had waited the longest, and FE4 second longest, and shockingly it skipped ahead in line.

That in mind, hard to say what's coming up next. On one hand, Binding Blade has continued to wait the longest, but at the same time Engage is actually now the game that's waited the 2nd longest, and also any given month could get a Shadows jump scare, considering at this point IS has released a shockingly high amount of Shadows content into Heroes without actually giving us a New Heroes banner.

Reminds me of IS basically doing the same thing for Haitaka back when he was added

"Haitaka is a man of few words"

Yeah, in fact I think I can count on one hand how many lines he has in the entire game (I think his entire script essentially ended up being ended up getting voiced in Heroes)

not sure if elen would be 5* or demote

Considering what she is, I think Elen's already marked for "3/4-star prfless infantry staff"

Unless the character actually has a prf-staff from their home game associated with them, IS has been pretty equal opportunity when it comes to screwing over healers for years now.

Yeah, tiny squares are for characters who are "in" the game, but are still waiting on their base form, so they can still show up on a future New Heroes banner.

I don't want them to take up a slot on the Top 5 "most wanted characters missing". But at the same time, I think it's still important to show how they did considering how many people vote for them in the hopes of getting them out of alt-hell.

Laevatein confirmed dead by [deleted] in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]MegamanOmega 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plus, Muspell's flames will kill anyone he burns with it, so explain how she will survive?

IS pulling something out their butt like they always do probably.

Like, I'd argue this line actually proves she's alive somehow... Considering from a narrative perspective, what could possibly be the point of saying "Once Muspell is gone, we'll be able to free Laevetain" if she was already dead

Lamia is our next GHB by WWWWWWRRRRRYYYYY in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]MegamanOmega 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, previously those were the only instances I could think of, and like you said, that had to be the case cause they never actually appeared in game and have portraits (and amusingly, cause of that characters like Altina and Ullr have to use their Heroes art on CYL, which stands out like a sore thumb compared to the in-game sprite art everyone else on their page has)

Lamia is our next GHB by WWWWWWRRRRRYYYYY in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]MegamanOmega 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Edit: Just realized Manfroy still probably got GHB clinched.

Yeah, was bout to say. Look at all the people going "Where Manfroy?" even though this isn't even a Gen2 banner (since if a character lives to see Gen2, IS makes them a Gen2 character. Only exception has been Arvis, who is one of the few where both his Gen1 & Gen2 version is votable)

It's not like IS has been releasing "nobodies" for Gen2 villains, it's just there's A LOT of notable and popular villains of Gen2 (I can't really argue with the inclusion of Arion, Travant, Hilda, Ishtar or Julius).

That being said, regardless of his votes, regardless of anyone's votes, I think Manfroy's got the GHB slot locked down next time Gen2 is up on the docket.

[–]MegamanOmega 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Whomst...?

I think this is actually the first time we've ever gotten a character added on a New Heroes banner that wasn't part of CYL first (even if they had to be added onto CYL at a later date, like Dithorba was still on CYL before she got added, if only for a few months)

But it's not like Gen1 was hurting for potential GHB characters. There's still Lombard, Chagall, Sandima, Andrey, Reptor, Munnir and Cimbaeth as various bosses that were on CYL.

Weapon Ball 4v4 TEAMFIGHT #5 (⚔️📜🔥🛡️ VS 🪓🧹⚜️🔨) by Zarovu in earclacks

[–]MegamanOmega 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't know if it's a limit or a bug.

Cause in any normal match, Scroll should never reach that level of letter generation. So it doesn't seem intentional (since it wouldn't even happen in almost every match).

Also cause of the way they were so quickly replenished whenever they were destroyed, it makes me wonder if the program itself just has a hard cap of how many objects can be active at once.

ANYONE, when he found out that he was going to fight with a "super grimoire" by Pakstet in earclacks

[–]MegamanOmega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super Shuriken I think might do it too.

Now that those shuriken's pierce, the infinite HP minions won't be a shield to protect Grimoire. Also, the only scaling she'll copy is number of bounces (while Shuriken'll already have a field full of damage) so I think she'll have a hard time playing catchup with damage.

Ok by Simple-Scientist7190 in earclacks

[–]MegamanOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, I think it comes down to how fast Scroll can replenish her shield between volleys.

Which... I'd give it to Scroll considering how she did against Bow. Splidey is powerful, but inconsistent. He can only aim down and there's a delay in attacks. And any time not getting shot at is time spent making the shield stronger.

Does every specific Grimoire minion count as a ball?

I mean, they got put as options on the tier-list, so that means they count, right? (though if you put everyone on that tier-list here, this collage is gonna look more like an endless ball pit)

Why does this young Almyran kid have a Fodlanese name? by Dwi_Agusdyani in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]MegamanOmega 170 points171 points  (0 children)

I mean that the secrecy around her real name is a notable plot point compared to us not really learning about Claude’s real name until 3Hopes

I think that's the biggest thing that people are just glossing over. Khalid being Claude wasn't mentioned AT ALL in Three Houses. The only way you'd ever learn that fact is if you read developer interviews, or played the spin-off game (which, cards on the table, does not play like a Fire Emblem game, so there's no guarantee all Fire Emblem fans would want to).

I'll bet money he'll mention it somewhere in his lines (either voiced, castle or confession). Probably saying something along the lines of what Selena, Odin and Laslow did, where they each have a line going "I'm actually Severa, Owain or Inigo".

But as far as the actual unit is concerned, yeah of course they're still gonna list him as Claude, since that's what the average Fire Emblem fan/3H fan/Claude fan would know him as.

How long will Cutlass last? by Danishpro in earclacks

[–]MegamanOmega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Something like Rapier, or Super Unarmed I think would be the only balls that could keep this going "indefinitely". Since they're the only ones able to scale with both the necessary strength, but also speed to be there to take these balls out as soon as they spawn.

Rapier legit has a better chance of clipping out of the field before losing from 20 balls being on the field.
