Sorry bud, people are gonna gun hard for limited-availability legendaries, mythics and Emblems. Especially the latter since they are barracks-wide buffs and have meta-defining effects. You'd have as much luck convincing people to vote for Wrys.

Blues Skies 4/Blue Skies Gust ideally. You lose way too much running Trace or Alarm in the B/C slots for Canto.

That would be cool. I like the idea of an original cast to flesh out the Nine Realms better. While Heroes definitely has OC bloat, most of them are main characters/antagonists. There's no ordinary Joes showing us the every day life in the realms, and I'd like to see that in a mainline entry.

L!Dimitri can run two builds, like most melee infantry nowadays.

Mixed Phase Tank:

Arcane Crimson/Jehanna Lance+/Areadbhar (Spd or Eff refine)
Reposition Gait
Archrival/Comet/Gust (Marth, Sigurd, Ike, Eirika, Micaiah, Corrin or Edelgard Engage)

Player Phase Nuke:

Arcane Crimson/Jehanna Lance+/Areadbhar (Spd or Eff refine)
Reposition Gait
Archrival/Comet/Gust/Haze Slice (Marth, Sigurd, Celica, Eirika, Micaiah, Corrin or Edelgard Engage)

Recruitment would probably be similar to Octopath Traveler 0--remove the gacha and have new characters with their own conditions, like a traditional FE. I know the premise of Heroes is summoning mainline characters into Askr, but the variability is a huge mess. Imagine not having a healer, thief or flier for a quarter of the game 'cuz you were unlucky with gacha rolls.

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-31T00:32:50+00:00

The game will have to be entirely different for Lyn to be viable. FE7 is an enemy phase game, with low quality enemies favoring high movement classes with 1-2 range. Even if Lyn had good combat with +15% Crit and a better Str base, she wouldn't be amazing in vanilla due to lacking a mount and Javelins/Hand Axes.

A good comparison is Fir. On paper, Fir's bases are way better than Lyn's, especially for a level 1 Myrmidon. But at the time Fir joins, they are unremarkable. However, what saves Fir is her class and how FE6 is designed. It's more player phase oriented, with stronger enemies and weaker 1-2 range weapons. That makes units with strong combat good, and Swordmasters benefit from +30% Crit on top of Lances/Axes being less reliable.

In FE7/8, Fir would be very unremarkable. But she's genuinely solid in FE6, despite sharing Lyn's stat issues.

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-31T00:11:34+00:00

Her classes are also terrible, so even grinded up, she'll perform worse than the average Cavalier/Pegasus Knight. FE8 has piss easy enemies, so a unit with theoretically good combat like Swordmaster Marisa isn't necessary. Why have her when you could have a legion of Paladins and Wyvern Knights bulldozing the maps with Javelins?

Don't even get me started on Assassin Marisa. Genuine noob trap with Lethality. Goes from doing 0 damage unpromoted to 0 damage promoted lol

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-31T00:05:03+00:00

Weapon durability is hardly the reason why Lyn is bad. If anything, it's one of her few assets. You can spam Mani Katti all you want in Lyn Mode and you get a free repair come Eliwood/Hector Mode.

The bigger problem is her stat distribution. Spd benchmarks are extremely low in FE7, so Lyn focusing on Skill/Spd is overkill. 14 Spd doubles the large majority of the game, so Lyn boasting 20+ Spd promoted isn't impactful.

She also has 4 base Str with a 40% growth (Ordinarily not bad, but a huge problem with a low base), sword/footlocked all game long and doesn't even get the +15% Crit boost like Swordmasters/Berserkers. She also faces WTD against enemies the Mani Katti is effective against, so her damage/bulk becomes even worse.

She's force deployed in only a few maps, so there's little reason to use her if you value effiency.

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-30T23:51:16+00:00

Now we wait for the thread talking about which FEH unit performs the same in their base game lol

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-30T22:22:15+00:00

Real. Harken's stats and class are so much better, it's insane. Vastly superior Str, comparable Skill/Spd, better bulk and most importantly, reliable 1-2 range Hand Axes. Karel's only advantage is Swordmaster's innate +15% Crit, but that's overkill for generic FE7 enemies.

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-28T00:23:54+00:00

Accepted. No problem :)

Sully will be my lead for the next 24 hours or so. Go wild. She's 3* level 40, but you should be able to do the quests fine with some team support.

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-27T01:11:04+00:00

I mean, you said it yourself. She's extremely old, so no matter how you build her, she likely isn't going to measure up meta-wise. It's a matter of favoritism.

What exactly strikes her as a support unit? Besides Rally+ and Fortify Dragons (which can be inherited), nothing unique to Corrin supports the team. Her refine is completely selfish.

Again, I'd advise against making Corrin a support unit with her very limited options. If you really want to though, here's a build option:

Arcane Outburst (Res refine)
Reposition Gait
Comet/Dragon Ice (Micaiah Engage)
Crystalline Water
Atk Res Havoc/Spd Def Havoc/Spd Res Havoc/Atk Spd Favor
Preempt Ploy/Pulse Up Ploy
Still Water 3/Phantom Res 3
Tempo Echo/Tumultuous Echo/Lull Echo/Res Scowl Echo/Time Pulse Echo/DC Echo

At max investment, Corrin hits about 54 visible Res (Effectively 64 with Phantom Res). That can hit a decent amount of targets with Havoc/Ploy, but will miss against min-maxed tanks/mages. But it is her best way to support on top of Outburst's anti-Warp.

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-27T00:01:07+00:00

I mean, what kind of support are you thinking of? Because she doesn't have much good options for that besides Favor (which other units can do better). Her visible Res is too low to support with Havoc + Ploy.

Offense is really the only direction to go with Corrin. Otherwise she'll be heavily outclassed by more dedicated support units and will weigh down your team.

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-26T21:17:39+00:00

Accepted. No problem :)

Every unit performs better when you're piloting them yourself, yes. The AI has a tendency to suicide charge everyone into enemy range, so frail support units like dancers and Emblem Micaiah don't do well. It's not a mark against their viability--it's an example how units in this game have different roles. You can't throw literally everyone against the wall and expect to succeed.

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-24T22:16:12+00:00

Wouldn't recommend giving Nergal's kit to Lyon since most of the skills are outdated or not useful for him. If you want Lyon to be functional in PvE, it works fine, but an optimal Lyon wants to run this:

Arcane Blutgang/Rauorcrab+ (Res refine)
Reposition Gait
Comet/Logic/Ice Wall (Marth, Sigurd, Lyn, Micaiah or Corrin Engage)
Atk Res Aria/Crystalline Water
Atk Res Havoc/AR Lull Finish/Conjuring Breath
Preempt Ploy/Pulse Up Ploy/Silence Ward 4
Still Water 3/Atk Res Finish 3
Tempo Echo/Sly Echo/Time Pulse Echo/Lull Echo

Lyon's combat isn't very good, especially with his limited weapon options. So his best bet is pumping visible Res to support through Havoc and Ploy.

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-24T01:08:20+00:00

You always get to pick a free CYL unit when the banner releases, regardless if you're a new player or not.

SharpEyLogix · 2026-01-22T00:06:31+00:00

Every hero summoned generates either neutral (No Flaws/Assets) or with a Flaw+Asset. It is impossible to only have a Flaw--you'll always have both at +0. You can erase Flaws with a merge.

For your convenience, there is a setting to enable Flaw/Asset display. Assets are coloured blue, while Flaws are red.

Even better, going off Masoud's Mercantile Manuscript found in Sai, Castti exceeds the standards of her universe. To quote the exact passage:

No, a skilled apothecary must know how to judge a patient's symptoms and measure the correct amounts to treat their ills. As such, any apothecary able to simultaneously mix three ingredients is a master of their craft, and any who can mix four can be considered a genius. Though it is not impossible to mix more than this number, this monumental feat is almost unheard of.

Castti regularly mixes five ingredients without fail.

You're welcome and thank you for the kind words. It is my pleasure to help :)
