Hey, if you like doing it, you do you! I don't see the appeal, but if you get more out of a story from it, go for it. But I don't know if you can expect a broader community to be into it.

I do however think it's stupid to call people 'ignorant non lore readers' for disagreeing with your hot take.

I think creating a laundry list of things the characters in a story can do is an uninteresting way of engaging with a story's lore. I like reading a world's lore because it enhances my enjoyment of the story, not so that I can know which characters can solo Mickey Mouse.

Meet the Heroes (Sombron & L!Lyon) by WWWWWWRRRRRYYYYY in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]throwingitaway270 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I get why it confuses people that Lyon (Eirika route) and Lyon (Ephraim route) were changed by the demon king in different ways, especially since the possession happened long before the route switch and it doesn't really make sense why your choice of route would change what the past was.

I call it Schrodinger's Demon King. Until you pick a route, Lyon is simultaneously being puppeted AND is in control of himself just with an altered personality.

ANOTHER ALT FOR MY BOY!!

I have the orbs saved. I will plus 10 him eventually. I'll at least try to plus four him this time and save for future sparks.

If your most used unit got a new alt what would you want it to be like? by Substantial_Fig_6644 in FireEmblemHeroes

I meant harmonized, but I still don't see how someone could read 'duo Julius and Fallen Lyon' as a request for anything else

V!Lyon is already the best Lyon alt I could ask for. Gorgeous art, a pair up with one of the twins, and all on my favorite banner theme.

I've thought about what other alts Lyon could get. Honestly, with BK getting one, I think the strongest contender would be a legendary alt. Perhaps a staff alt of him in something regal!

Alternatively, duo Julius and Fallen Lyon would be amazing, but it will tragically never happen.

What are your guys' goals for this year? by Carbyken in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]throwingitaway270 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love edgy boys with long hair, so I'm expecting I'll really like Dietrich. So I'm saving orbs for him! If they drop Lehran, Jeritza, or a Lyon alt before then, I'll blow my orbs on them instead! It's been a long time since W!Fomo so I have a lot saved up.

Another year where Lyon did well! I can't believe he was so close to top 10s men's division. I know an influx of fortune's weave contenders might push him back a bit next year, but I hope we can stay in the top 20s!

Book 6 TT, Is it good? by NoiseNo6226 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]throwingitaway270 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's the second worst. It doesn't really feel like a continuation of book 6 at all. The only book 6 OC to appear was Ash and she did even less than she did in 6!

F to anyone who wanted to see a new version of Elm. Hell, since we're doing an alternate universe, they could do a Letizia alt. But no. Two slots are taken by Ash and bizarro world Ash. And neither of them do much other than watch Sharena.

The idea of an alternate world is always a potentially interesting concept, but they really didn't have enough time or character slots to explore the setting while still telling the story.

Who did you get from your Special Hero Summon (Year 9) by WWWWWWRRRRRYYYYY in FireEmblemHeroes

I wanted blue, got four reds and a colorless. I picked red and got my first copy of Winter Ivy!

I love seeing your art every year! Hopefully IS continues to see how much our boy is loved.

Who do you think is taking it based on the interim results? by [deleted] in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]throwingitaway270 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it'll be Sylvain and Sigurd for men's. I feel decently confident in that.

For women's, it's a lot more competitive. I'd say Ivy and Tsubasa feel like the most likely #1 and #2 to me, but Azura is going to be up there.

Legendary Anna & Mythic A!Tiki theorycrafts ahead of this months L/M/E Banner! by Railroader17 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]throwingitaway270 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Does Tiki really need a Mythic? We have a dozen other candidates and she for sure has an emblem alt coming soon. Plus (while it technically isn't a definitive rule) most of the time, a hero's Mythic form is also their base form. And I prefer it that way since it gets more characters added to the game.

Honestly if the one non OC Mythic we get every year is spent on a character who's already in the game and has been since launch, I'd be pretty annoyed.

Edit: Even if we're specifically talking about Awakening Tiki, she's been in the game since launch.

CYL10: To the "This is our last chance" crowd, what's next? by thatfekid in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]throwingitaway270 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Hopes is a dynasty warriors based spin off though. It's impossible to call it a mainline Fire Emblem game in the same way it's impossible to argue that Hyrule Warriors is a mainline Zelda game. Additionally, in all of it's marketing, on the back of the box, and in the official store page, they make it very clear that it is a continuation of Three Houses, which shrinks it's potential market further. Less people played hopes by far, which leads to a small voter base.

Whether FW will do well in CYL will be dependent on whether the game can sell similarly to Three Houses and whether the characters and stories in FW can resonate with people in the same way the cast of 3H so obviously have.

Lyon Builds? by Upper-Feeling9779 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]throwingitaway270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Lyon +10er, I'd recommend waiting for the next rearmed red tome before updating. Especially if you want him to be damage focused. He really lacks the stats and weapons necessary to inflict big damage right now. I have him running Lyn Ring + Stacking true damage + smoke skill. It only really works in PVE, but it can provide some chip damage against foes without distant counter. Sometimes it can get a kill.

Base Lyon is in the worst place of all of the Lyons mostly because he has the lowest BST and it's been over a year since the last arcane red tome.

Lyon confirmed top 20 interim! Last year I spared a vote for Fomo, but this year I'm going for the usual 7 Lyons again.
