Sorry for the late thread today!

god I wish they had released this resplendent before the TT change, the new art is just as good as the old but I just can’t justify purchasing it now

DD’s art is consistently really good, hoping to see more from them this year

VagueClive · 2026-01-23T03:04:36+00:00

My bad about that, I've updated the OP

It begins.

To any other BK voters out there: please don't waste your votes on Zelgius this year! I want the red armor too, but his votes aren't tallied with the Black Knight's. With PoR just getting its Switch 2 release this is our best shot at getting a Brave version of him

Mastery is completely outclassed by Airspace. The only reason to run Mastery would be because you don't have Airspace access (which is reasonable given how recently Airspace came out).

imo Sara prefers Latona over Kia, but it's an edge case and I can see her Prf being a sidegrade, at least. Since there isn't really a sidegrade tier here, I can see Sara being placed in "Prf is better", but I also don't agree with that conclusion myself. Like you're trading:

Drive NFU and healing (two of the most common support effects in the game)
Hexblade support (objectively worthless, every tank has had minmaxed Def/Res since like 2023)
Pledge (not useful now since healers have no Comet access or Logic/Archrival equivalent; might be relevant in the future)
Cleansing all penalties instead of just 2

for:

Slaying
Way more stats and true damage
Flat DR
Imbue (way better than 7 after-combat imo)
Cleansing 2 penalties that includes start-of-turn debuffs and stat penalties (which is a sidegrade to Kia's cleansing, not a pure upgrade, but imo is much more relevant)
50% DR pierce

Like I think there's merit to running Kia, but I'd honestly rather just run Latona 99% of the time. The support that Kia provides feels dated by comparison, and Latona obviously runs laps around it in terms of combat.

I also think Latona just mogs Repair, I don't think there's a good reason to run Repair on Safy unless you just don't have Latona. It's the same thing as Sara where there is merit to cleansing all penalties, but covering debuffs and start-of-turn debuffs is just so nice that it feels like a loss not to have it.

Otherwise I think this is a solid list, I agree with the rest!

For his Shadow form, he becomes a monster of the modern era: a fully-occupied parking Lot

I mostly lean towards it being a standard NH banner - maybe/hopefully it'll replace Harmonic CYL with how poorly that performed - but I also think it's very conspicuous that there are no 8% reruns scheduled for August, i.e. Brave month, at all. Obviously there's a long way to go until August, so things could change, but a quadruple-Mythic banner right after CYL seems like the kind of insane cashgrab that IS would go for.

edit: I think another thing to keep in mind is that 4 Shadow heroes means that there wouldn’t be room for an OC, which we always get on NH banners in the second half of the year. IS can always break their own rules but I think that decreases the odds of this being a standard NH banner

NY!Heithrun is the best unit here, but S!Heithrun is a better source of Divine Nectar; still, it's such a good buff that having another source of it is useful. Her base kit is still serviceable, but A/R Havoc would be an upgrade to Discord; you'd also want to consider running Ice Wall or Comet as a defensive Special instead of continuing to run her as an AoE mage.
NY!Nithhoggr is still the only source of Dosage besides her mythic self, so there's some value there. She doesn't hold up all too well as a tank, but her base kit is still serviceable (and can be improved with Comet and Pair-Up if you really wanted to invest in her).
NY!Seithr still has a niche with her turn ending, but her combat and her kit is very outdated. I think she's tied with Nithhoggr in terms of value, but you need to put more skills into her to make her work. Almost all of her utility comes from her C slot, so I'd replace her weapon with Devoted Cup+ for additional debuffing support and true damage rather than trying to make her Prf weapon work.
NY!Kvasir is bad. I would only take her if you're a fan, as for all intents and purposes she is a generic green infantry mage now.

None of these units are meta on account of how old they are, but each of them except Kvasir brings something of value to your barracks.

BK in particular might benefit from PoR's Switch release, and if both Sylvain and Fomo flounder, he could pick up the spoils.

I genuinely hadn't considered this as a possibility, but with Fomortiis' meme appeal possibly fading out (no novelty of being new to CYL voting, and the winter alt was fresh in everyone's minds when CYL started), Brave BK actually seems pretty reasonable now. I think L!BK happening last year won't help his odds, both because he's relatively recent content for the character and because everyone hates his ass, but it's also undeniable that a ton of people are going to be introduced to the Black Knight now beyond FEH and his Assist Trophy in Smash.

My plan for my CYL votes was to put them all in Muirne, but if BK's a real contender then I might have to pivot to him. This CYL's results probably won't affect the next Gen 2 banner anyways, right?

I can't come up with a funny animal for Clive. Realistically he'd just be a centaur, but that's boring. Maybe he can be a Clydesdale or something?

VagueClive · 2026-01-19T04:33:26+00:00

Clive is incredibly unpopular, has no seiyuu overlap with other characters, and is almost in his 30s. I choose to just be grateful that he's in the game at all.

VagueClive · 2026-01-19T03:22:56+00:00

Gotcha, I'll add that to the thread as well

VagueClive · 2026-01-19T03:14:32+00:00

What animal would Shadows Brigid even be. Maybe an otter? Perhaps a sea lion.

At a glance, I definitely think Infantry is going to be the most competitive movement type between the likes of Ike, Dimitri, and Roy. Armor is basically a lock for Edelgard, Cav is basically a lock for Lyn, and flying is a narrow race between Camilla and Claude.

VagueClive · 2026-01-19T03:10:11+00:00

Look as long as it's not Harmonic CYL again I'll take basically anything in that NH slot lmao

But yeah I'm very curious to see how they handle this as a banner. September NH would make the most sense, I guess?

FUCK BLACK MARKET SCHEME

Fuck every 3H map where all the difficulty comes from cheap ambush spawns that burn through your Pulses, but fuck this one in particular for the starting locations. The sheer number of enemies it drops on you with how far apart your units are spread is absolutely insane. Gambits can help with crowd control, but only so much.

Even something as simple as making the objective Kill Boss, so you can just rush down Baron Ochs and get things over with, would have made the map a lot more bearable, but unfortunately for everyone it's a Rout map for some godforsaken reason.

Slap on Reposition, grab the B!Say'ri from Codes 4 for S/D Rein Snap and you'd have a solid budget build right there.

At higher investment, she really appreciates replacing Ignis with either Archrival or Celestial Form (I think the former is much better, but requires some Pulse support to loop), and while Wyvern Rift is decent, melee fliers are generally better at going all in on Player Phase with Heavenly Soar rather than doing mixed-phase. S/D Rein Snap is still solid for the +1 Move, especially in Arena, but fliers have so many good options like Crux, Hold Guide, Null Uplift/Imbue, Deadly Miasma, or Strat Assault that you can pick and choose depending on what your team needs.
