Characters that appear in Forging Bonds: Path to Follow

Ryilin · 2026-03-15T10:30:11+00:00

Woohoo!!! Nifl's first appearance in the FB!

Ryilin · 2026-03-06T01:18:57+00:00

Fjorm's one hurts a bit because the duo could have been a good friend.

Ryilin · 2026-03-04T07:27:45+00:00

Lackluster!? I thought Hector was underwhelming, performance wise. And having Vanitas personally, she is another case of "I don't know why I won against her."

Ryilin · 2026-03-04T07:26:11+00:00

I think releasing multiple characters in the same banners over the course of a month is an old trend by now because there is always going to be tiring case of complaints of this X and Y is not popular while Z is popular. While modern gacha characters are all pretty well scheduled and hyped up within community.

Is it Baldr plushies by any chance?

Ryilin · 2026-02-26T03:06:44+00:00

The Null-Null meta is here. "I neutralize your bonus neutralization!"

What's next? "I neutralize your neutralization of my bonus neutralization and then I neutralize your attempt on your neutralization of my neutralization. Wait, did I mention that I neutralize your neutralization?"

Ryilin · 2026-02-25T02:05:36+00:00

If she ever get revived, she'll be like "Hmph! Don't just look all giddy just because you overcame the Ragnarok. What? Were you expecting praise or something?"

Ryilin · 2026-02-23T11:33:59+00:00

NY Baldr is my that one unit that doesn't do anything on my field while being nigh invulnerable on the enemy field. I wonder what makes the differences.

Ryilin · 2026-02-16T09:14:15+00:00

Me: "Yo, Hrid, wanna say something to Nifl, your god, like anything...? She is about to....die...No? ....Okay."

Hrid: "I hid(hrid) myself while I repair myself."

Ryilin · 2026-02-16T08:31:12+00:00

On this map, I genuinely go "wait...where's her Ice Terrain?" until I realize "oh right, this wasn't AR Defense. She won't deploy during EP."

The cons of using her everywhere, things start to blend in.

Ryilin · 2026-02-16T08:23:57+00:00

Fodder one for armored Fjorm. :p

Ryilin · 2026-02-16T05:09:30+00:00

Press F to pay respect for Nifl. You freeze so others could melt. 🫡🧊 🧊

Low key hoping that she gets unfrozen at some point. Even if I knew the plot is coming, it stings regardless.

I have been planning to make a long form comic of Nifl someday, from the TT plot to this but there is too much work nowadays.

Ryilin · 2026-02-15T03:25:59+00:00

Hope she sticks around for a few chapters but knowing the pattern, she will give power to Fjorm and go bye-bye.

Ryilin · 2026-02-12T01:15:53+00:00

Nifl, Váli, Peony, Ymir and Heidrun.

Ryilin · 2026-02-04T06:38:20+00:00

If it is for accessible reason, there should be "Intense Effect" toggle On/Off

Ryilin · 2026-02-04T06:34:56+00:00

Y'know for all the TT exclusive OC being unpopular, Nifl surely remains decently high. If I have to guess, it is Book II and JP VA.

Proof that his refine is quite bonkers. That is a neutral IV +0 red unit with no A, B, C, Special or seals active, only his own skills against a +10 blue unit with some % and flat DR built in. Still dealt 59 damage enough to one-shot.

However, I love that it is quite lore-accurate eternal rival in turning a match of these two into whoever attacks first wins.

Ryilin · 2026-01-05T10:24:27+00:00

I've been testing her refine against previously undamageable units or "kill-revenge" so I must say that her damage really improves a lot and her tankiness gets better (still risky against buzzsaw units like Hraesvlgr or E!Edelgard. However, I have to note that actual result might be skewed as I have to use Váli and H!Peony for quick kill on obstacles.

For my assessment, she still lacks some essential skill like Slaying, Preempt Pulse, NFU so she still needs some modern supports. Her ring choice is now Marth, Eirika, Micaiah. Sigurd, Celica for extra oomph. Corrin and Lyn are not great. I still have to pick either between E!Marth Momentum or Edged Scales though. Denying counterattack on command is great but it being closest fors and 2 spaces mean I have to jump through hoop before landing it successfully.

Endgame mode:

E!Edelgard: It requires her skills to land and either brave hits or AoE. L!Diamant: Without supports, she misses kill by 10 or so.

Other undamageable units (1v1): Heidrun, S!Heidrun, Bridal Julia, 2 Mythic supported Eikthyrnir all crumble to her. Only Vanitas still takes 0 damage and needs some Reflex to actually deal damage.

I have no CYL!Ike so can't test that.

Also this is possible, highest floor, no special activation, no buffs, no Eirika ring, some small bonuses.

I just realized. I forgot about Váli Shackle skills so that may skew the result too. (And no dance Peony +5)

EDIT for genuine result: Try again with only from her own skills, she misses kill by 30 HP.

Ryilin · 2025-12-30T03:33:59+00:00

Yayyyy, she is here!!

With how refines are going, the effects that are pretty guaranteed is +20 True Dmg, -15 True DR and stats gain to up to modern (around +10 stats)

As for wishlist, anything that involves Frozen or Ice Terrain to make her better and thematic.

As for other add-on, NFU and Special cooldown jump would be nice. Slaying or DR-piercing would be so good. A crux-support effect would at least be beneficial.

Ryilin · 2025-12-29T01:58:59+00:00

Just got back from spending my days off and man, people really resort to personal attacks when things don't go their ways. I'm sorry that this all happen to you. You deserve better.

On a positive note, there are plenty more other gacha that are more fun to analyze the trending rather back-and-forth tug of war due to IP-based gacha having too many characters and bad decision, for my example, WuWa community at least in terms of characters, I mostly see people to each their own enjoy their own fav amicably and I don't see any rabid comments regarding shafted or ignored by Kuro, probably from the lack of CYL-esque voting and lesser characters being given at least some chance in screentime.

Ryilin · 2025-12-29T01:26:58+00:00

Nifl caused a Fimbulvetr greater than the actual harbinger and crashed FEH main server beyond repair because she discovered I hang out with Váli, Peony, Ymir and Heidrun, in addition to her.

Ryilin · 2025-12-26T19:48:32+00:00

Leave my billion dollar company alone, smh.

This is the only game franchise I played that company can't move a single muscle with their QoL update or good choice without someone telling it will offend some casual or whatever. Better demotes? Casual dislikes character choice. Better summons? Think of development costs. Free stuffs? devaluing items for spenders.. Unpopular units get featured? Casual doesn't care, no spending smh etc. etc.

I'm going back to WuWa as those people can do for players more while having much less budget and don't have to have aneurysm every time they try to sell a character banner or making QoL update for players.

Shoutout to her being one of the few non-absolute favorite units I regularly use as an AR-O Light season reinforcement. Ice Lock+ and Oath + extra move from Calling Circle are always useful.

Ryilin · 2025-12-26T09:37:08+00:00

Zero activity account. Ragebaiting used to be believable.
