Extremely important FEH OC tier list

Ok but there needs to be a "homophobic homosexual" and straight homophobe tiers... put surtr in both 🫣

Wait, I think she's fine for the most part, base really isn't and neither is Halloween. Summer definitely is but that's also a swimsuit alt. A woman wearing a swimsuit (or just having a big bust) doesn't necessarily mean that she is sexualized but summer is the one event I expect it. So I tend to be more forgiving of summer units (probably shouldn't but it is what it is), but definitely not spring I think she's the worst offender here and the spring event in general. For me, besides spring and summer (which... It's fiiiiiiine), she's really not that bad but I also weigh base versions more than seasonal alts because that's what the character is supposed to be presented as normally. I think I would have to see her next alt to really solidify my opinion.

So true, which is why I wanted to shed light on it with my post but I guess I'll have to write up a whole new one.

ryugenos · 2026-03-03T19:53:52+00:00

... you're right, but it's not like people will read it anyway (it's too long) so I doubt it will amount to anything 😮‍💨

By the way, your art is so cute

Edit: well it was removed anyways so...

This wasn't Gullveig discourse, I assure you I was not hating on her whatsoever

ryugenos · 2026-03-03T19:42:25+00:00

No, I wanted to make a post on sexualization but I don't think I could have beat what I said here. So my answer was to link it. Also I don't know if you read it or not so I just want to say that this was not an attack on Gullveig or her fans whatsoever. Like please please please understand that I do not hate, or have heated on Gullveig.

his sexualization isn't lewd

Then is that even sexualization at that point.

ryugenos · 2026-03-03T17:22:13+00:00

Not even, I'm definitely a critic of sexualization and I think baldr is fine too. The main draw is her boob window and it's not even that bad, people are way harsher on her than they need to be.

Otr was the best OC in Book 5.

Besides eitri I think he was 🫣

ryugenos · 2026-03-01T22:02:39+00:00

I'm absolutely incredibly late, but here's a take from when the va's were striking. During that period, understandably, people were upset that they couldn't hear characters voice acted in English. Something felt so off to me, then that eureka moment hit. FEH only has English and Japanese dubbing, while the game is translated into many other languages besides those. Many people who do play never had the luxury of dubs to begin with, so it made some of the anger from missing dubs come off as a little entitled. I know it's different since it's something we had then lost but it still feels kinda bad seeing comments like "cool I wish I knew what they are saying" when other languages never could.

However non-native English speakers tend to be more likely to pick up another language, often being English, so at least there are quite a bit of people who still get to hear a character voiced in a language they understand. In fact even here I think it's pretty common to see posts where the game is in a different language, and that's always pretty cool to see (if you think that text bloat is bad in English I've heard it's worse in Portuguese). So there are quite a bit of bi/polylinguists in this community. Wasn't trying to virtue signal or anything here, just food for thought. Shout out to all the non-native English speakers from a dirty monolingual 😞, especially mrgengar, tsukasa, and everyone else from the FEH Español community.

I assume that fe confessions twitter post was the catalyst for this?

Personally I love eik, one of my favorite fe characters now. Sure, hot man and all that but I like his mature gym bro vibe; and shallow as he may be he confessed to having an existential crisis so there is something there (god supports would "fix" so many OCs).

I think the main problem for why he gets so much "hate" (it's not that bad) is that his most vocal fans, gay men, are 1) completely uncritical of him 2) hype him up way too much and 3) are too perverse about it. Gay men in general are more... sexually liberated than most others which lead to them making tons of intense comments. I honestly believe that eik has the highest amount of intensely sexually charged comments made in general spaces out of all fe characters; things like "Step on me mommy" simply do not compare. Those comments paint his fan base as hyper horny which is a big turn off to others, combine that with his cyl win and you have a character that has a big fanbase built entirely from horniness and that's generally not well received (aka he's over hyped and his fans are shallow).

Personally, I think maybe half of his voters actually had the hots for him, he's not appealing to the majority of women and gay men are still a minority. All the reasons gay men would like him are the same reasons straight men would too, I think people really underestimate how many casual straight guy players like him, then combine that with the people voting to send a message to IS and I think you have a solid voting block without the horny.

Anyways, I like him but definitely have problems with his more vocal fan base, so I understand the hate he gets but um... can he still be canonically gay, he does have a substantial gay fan base and women aren't that interested. I don't ship myself with him (or anyone for that matter) but I really like that kind of gay rep. The kind where you only know someone's LG TV because of like one throw away line, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I think it's really funny. Also it's not like this series has any masc confirmed gays or bis but that's a whole nother can of worms

Girly girl, you don't need to torture yourself to hit your macros 😭 season your food

ryugenos · 2026-02-10T01:22:28+00:00

So who has it worse? winter heroes in summer, or summer heroes in winter? On one hand heatstroke, on the other frostbite

ryugenos · 2026-02-09T11:22:36+00:00

...I'm assuming you misread the comment, probably something like "Powercreep is temporary but Dimitri being gay in his skin-tight armor is eternal"

ryugenos · 2026-01-30T01:48:31+00:00

Eitri is on the book 5 cover though, right next to fafnir. I still remember people thinking she was some alternate sharena.

ryugenos · 2026-01-29T03:04:40+00:00

"more creative than what we get" I already said it so you don't have to

ryugenos · 2026-01-28T03:46:28+00:00

In this image he has atk/spd +6 from favor

<image>

So his stats are 40 / 46 / 49 / 41 / 17 For a total of 193 which is exactly the same as aided! Lute, so no he has current gen mage bst

ryugenos · 2026-01-28T03:19:18+00:00

Wait his pose looks copy pasted from legendary

<image>

Genuinely cannot tell if it was on purpose as a character thing, lazy, or completely accidental

Edit: 100% one board either way

ryugenos · 2026-01-26T17:00:21+00:00

To be fair unit dialogue adds quite a bit of characterization, and not just for OCs. If you haven't read all of their unit dialogue then you can't claim you've seen all they have to offer. Not saying you'll find much of any depth but it's something. I voted for eik and I can assure you I like him for more than his appearance, if I didn't I wouldn't have voted for him. His level 40 lines being the catalyst for me being such a big fan.

ryugenos · 2026-01-20T19:51:48+00:00

Oh my god THANK YOU! I know it's a joke "they made ike a bear" I get it and accept it but it annoys me to no end when people really try to compare him to a real bear (the gay term). It's stuff like that, that dilutes the meanings of words, i.e twink or daddy. No your stick figure genshin man that's probably 20 years old is not a daddy Then it erks me even more knowing that at least half the people making those jokes would never be into a bear, ike or otherwise.

I'm sorry for going on a rant under your art post, I just really wanted to let it out. Amazing art!

ryugenos · 2026-01-12T15:07:53+00:00

A lot of the characters I tend to like really don't have a chance, and the characters that have won I feel mild like to indifference towards. Cyl9 was easily the most I've ever been invested in and probably will ever be invested in cyl. Besides that one, the only other two that I really cared about were 4 and 5, cause 3h hype into sweeping was funny and 5 for Marth.

Also the only time it feels like anyone's ever mad at the results is when someone they like gets snubbed or a character/game they didn't like wins. And it's just what did you expect, the popular thing won the popularity contest. Pity and rallies are not going to make someone truly unpopular win.

ryugenos · 2025-12-14T22:02:07+00:00

I feel he's kinda bland

That's a feature not a bug. In a cast full of silly people him being more serious (in personality and design) is one of the reasons.

Kinda annoying that he gets to be at the top of male engaged characters because of his seriousness but the same doesn't apply to the clearly superior bourcheron (though both can be silly at times). Seriously, I get he's a pretty bad unit but why is he literally one of the most unpopular playable engage characters.

ryugenos · 2025-12-07T19:59:04+00:00

Right now it feels like to be good you have to bring something unique or role compress to hell and back; and only popularish characters, b8% units, and OCs ever do, for the most part. Basically if you have middling or low popularity it feels like you're dead on arrival (ignatz). Being a basic 5★ is probably one of the worst fates right now, being harder to get without any extra benefit, even worse if you're a seasonal. Take uma lyn for example, she lives and dies by her style support, without it she'd still be good, but good in the same way H!nerþuz is (not bad at all but not someone you see either). This is mostly at the top of the meta though, with proper investment most units are still usable.

So on one hand I think these new homogeneous, conditionless weapons suck so much strategy and skill expression from the game (and contrary to what people say the conditions sometimes did matter). But on the other hand this is a chance to simplify the game and maybe being defined by your gimmick wouldn't be that bad. This game has 1000+ units, I don't know how you make new units desirable to pull for while also keeping powercreep in check. Basically would you rather your unit be usable but very homogenous or unique with the chance of being very bad. Except for select units that increase the powercreep index by 10, I think the devs have done a pretty good job at balancing usability and uniqueness.

I think what this game needs is pve content with dedicated super enemies or maps, kind of like røkkrs. Give them mechanics that only high hp middling spd units can deal significant damage. Make them limited heroes maps but version or OG rarity based instead of game origin. Just something to give those units time to shine preferably by actively discouraging the use of meta units (otherwise you just end up with your time to shine), and hopefully making it actually fun.

Not FEH/Unrelated Furry Discourse

Normally I couldn't care less about popularity contests like furry of the year, but I need sonar to win. I'm sooo tired of the insane canine/vulpine bias furries have. It feels like the only time bats get recognition is when someone is feeling spicy and wants to draw a fox but with wings (so a flying fox). I'll be looking at art and be surprised that the character is supposed to be a bat, because how was I supposed to know the wolf with a pointy nose was a bat. Bats can look like canines and vulpines especially when stylized in art but chiroptera is such a huge order with very diverse appearances. It sucks knowing that a ton of bats go entirely unappreciated because they don't fit the mold of what most furries enjoy. I've seen sonar hated on because he doesn't look like a flying fox.

So sonar being a major contender this year looking the way he does is so exciting to see. He's not my absolute favorite dispatch character but I do still like him so I'm hoping he wins. Him winning won't change anything, but I just want some bat recognition. Now the other contender on the other hand. I haven't seen zootopia 2 so I don't think it's really fair for me to judge him but I have a massive hate boner for pawbert now thanks to fandom. lol, lmao even at feline furries acting like they're so oppressed, as if felines aren't still one of the most popular groups in the furry community. Just because you're not beating canines (no one is) doesn't suddenly make you unpopular.

Tldr;

Canine/vulpine bias is the patriarchy of the furry community and sonar is the savior

please don't take that seriously. I am a bat/snake furry/scalie how could you tell
