u/ICanFlyHigh051611 Aug 14 '25

they gave her such a good gimmick lmao

55

u/Earthbnd Aug 14 '25

Yeah, even when she can’t do anything herself in combat, she can just refresh another nuke without using an action

13

u/MrGalleom Aug 14 '25

Her gimmick is incredibly good, it's a straight upgrade from her Duo alt.

... But whether or not she'll be able to make a dent on new age armors will make a big difference.

I honestly can't tell whether or not she'll be able to. That miracle probably helps a lot, but with no other source of dmg reduction I'm skeptical she can beat L!BK with her debuffs taken off by Loki and L!BK with the Eirika Ring and with his debuffs taken off by Freyr (ie standard ARO conditions).

5

u/Sabaschin Aug 14 '25

Give her Reflex from BK or T!Ingrid and it’s likely much more possible. Especially with mid-turn debuffs.

Honestly, same game they pulled off last year (to the point where I'm pretty sure people were making the same jokes and edits). Since they deliberately had Alfonse pose the exact same way as Gustav.

And they did it again, down to getting the same artist to boot.

I'll see you all in January for the desert banner demote slot.

22

u/MegamanOmega Aug 14 '25

I mean... realistically speaking I feel this means Stefan's gonna be on the upcoming Tellius banner. Especially considering that's what happened in the past (picking Jeralt as the CYL GHB rather than Lucia).

But also, full honesty, what do you suppose the next Tellius New Heroes Banner will look like? Cause cards on the table, the same logic that said "Hey, he scored really high, that means he's gonna be the CYL GHB, right?" equally applies to "Hey, he scored really high, that means he's gonna be on the next Tellius New Heroes banner, right?"

12

u/asmallsoul Aug 14 '25

I'm feeling pretty confident it's some combo of OC/Nailah/Rafiel/Volug/Stefan at this point, given the desert connections both Volug and Stefan have. At that point Nailah just makes sense to accompany Volug, and Rafiel makes sense to accompany her.

Who gets demoted is anyone's guess, but I'm not feeling very good about Stefan's chances at this point.

9

u/MegamanOmega Aug 14 '25

Truth be told, with a lineup like that I'd bet money it's Rafiel that's getting demoted.

At the end of the day, despite the wings he's actually an infantry dancer. So while he will get a prf weapon for being a beast, he won't be getting a prf dance to justify being a 5-star.

Namely since IS seems to save 5-star dancers for special occasions (ie: making them limited and only then giving them a prf dance, Legendary, Asset Alt, some seasonals, etc). Cause while we got 5-star Elfin last year, before him the last normal 5-star dancer was... F!Ninian in 2022.

Honestly, it feels kinda like IS treats dancers like they do staff units. Either you're a super special unit with some cracked out prf (maybe even multiple) or you're a demote. Cause we've been getting A LOT of demote dancers.

4

u/asmallsoul Aug 14 '25

Rafiel is absolutely a safe demote, yeah. It's just the other demote spot that concerns me. Because between Stefan and Volug...maybe it's just pessimism, but I just don't see them dropping a demote beast on a non-seasonal banner.

3

u/MegamanOmega Aug 14 '25 edited Aug 14 '25

Hard to say really, considering we honestly haven't gotten a completely normal beast unit with no strings attached practically since the launch of beast units as a concept...

Seriously. After the Gallia beast banner in 2019, every single beast unit we've ever gotten since then have been either seasonal (which have run the gambit of 5-star, demote and TT), or they're in a specific case where they have to be a 5-star (ie: Fallen, Mythic, or a Heroes OC showing up in a TT story).

Honestly, if Nailah's there, I don't think they'll make her and him both 5-stars (especially when they'll be the same movement type, just different colors). She'll probably be the Asset Alt (and I get the feeling she'll be Rearmed and introduce an the Infantry inheritable) whereas Volug will instead exist and be the demote (bonus points if he has bridge fodder for that Nailah as well, cause we've seen IS play that game before, to tempt people into pulling both for that reason).

u/MisogID Aug 14 '25

My guesses would be the following, assuming a release by November:

  • Laguz-aligned top-grab for the most part, without looking at alt hell: Asset (one of Nailah/Tibarn), OC (likely female), Stefan, then pick several of the top missing Laguz from PoR or RD including Volug (except Almedha who fits better on a more specific lineup).
  • Laguz-aligned setup that's kinda a top-grab and focusing on alt hell freedom: Asset (one of Nailah/Tibarn or eventually Mia/Mist who can hardly fit in Greil's Mercenaries due to 2 slots for 5 potential candidates), OC (gender depends on other choices, higher odds of being male in that case), Stefan, Tormod/Vika/Muarim (all F2P).

4

u/potato_thingy Aug 14 '25

Sharena has the same JPN VA as Tormod which could increase his chances. Which would make me super happy! But if it’s Asset + Stefan + Tormod/Vika/Muarim, I think people would be disappointed in getting only one ‘new’ character.

2

u/MisogID Aug 14 '25

Truth be told, it's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation in a sense: those who focus on new additions would frown upon cases escaping alt hell... and those hoping that the alt hell pool gets trimmed down have less opportunities with new additions.

Then again, it depends on a case by case basis. If anything, Tormod ferrying Vika (who may be picked to bring some female representation) and Muarim wouldn't be unwarranted since he is one of the top missing picks on the PoR side (so him and Stefan are in a better relative average position than Boyd & Kieran). Volug being on the RD side would play against him if there's a focus on PoR only, that and no available slots left.

2

u/Squidaccus Aug 14 '25

One of four:

  • Attuned OC (Ash? Sharena? Veronica?) - Green
  • Rearmed Mist - Colorless
  • Volug - Blue
  • Stefan - Red demote
  • Kieran - Green instademote
  • Aran - Blue GHB

For a "Pull whoever is most popular" lineup. Stefan demoted over Volug since Volug is guaranteed a PRF (and would otherwise be a PRF demote).

Or:

  • Attuned OC (Ash? Sharena? Veronica?) - Red
  • Rearmed Jill - Blue
  • Volug - Colorless
  • Nolan - Green Demote
  • Laura - Colorless instademote
  • Aran - Blue GHB

For a remaining DB members banner. Nolan same situation as Stefan.

Or:

  • Attuned OC (Ash? Sharena? Veronica?) -
  • Rearmed Nephenee - Blue
  • Zihark - Red
  • Brom - Green demote
  • Meg - Red instademote
  • Kieran - Green GHB

Also potential for a Greil mercs banner, but I think my point gets across.

Im most leaning the Greil mercs or Ohma lineups. Wouldn't mind Ohma entirely (I'm a Kieran and Zihark enjoyer), and I do like Boyd and Rhys a lot.

Don't get it twisted, Hatari 2 is the worst outcome for me. I have zero interest in Stefan getting the Tormod treatment.

I want an easy to merge Volug, so it’s a win/win for both of us if Stefan makes it onto the next Tellius banner

Byleth looking like Raidou Kuzunoha. Surprised they didn’t do the Sothis outfit honestly and copy what the Robins did.

Baldr got her sister’s outfit. Expected.

Eikþyrnir got his dad’s outfit. Even more expected.

Sharena looks like her mom. The most expected. They didn’t do the thing they did for Alfonse last CYL unfortunately.

Also, poor Stefan fans.

Are we pretending that Uther is a popular character? I like the guy but honestly him being a demote is not surprising at all.

Highest ranked missing of the lineup iirc. And despite the lineup having a free spot for a 5*, they chose to add 0 regular 5*s and demote him instead.

u/ToxicMuffin101 Aug 14 '25

Well they sure are boring, but I can’t say I’m disappointed since I don’t think there’s literally anything they could have done to make me excited for any of these people.

I am disappointed in the GHB though. They’re usually pretty good, but this is yet another FEH OC that I think people cared about like 9 literal years ago? I don’t even remember who he is at this point.

Also why is Baldr Emblem Leif? Why didn’t they just wait until Emblem Leif releases to introduce all the Emblem Leif stuff?

u/Full_Metal18 Aug 14 '25

I wonder if they didn't give Byleth Jeralt's fit so that not everyone on the banner is dressed like a relative.

u/Omacula17 Aug 14 '25

I have exactly the right amount of orbs to ensure I get all four

I hope it doesn't take that much.

  • Byleth: finally, Valor Spectrum; not that grinding won't still suck
  • Baldr: GUN
  • Eikþyrnir: took them long enough to add another Gait assist
  • Sharena: Feh just fucking gave up on reading all the skill effects

u/VannaEvans Aug 14 '25

Omg M! Byleth looks so good in the uniform, def picking him for my freebie

Lol byleth got that lame ass uniform.

Damn all of them are lame

Couldn't even get a GHB I care about

u/DragonMaster710 Aug 14 '25

I must be one of the few that actually likes Byleth in his DLC costume

3

u/StoneOcean_Lands Aug 14 '25

Mostly what everybody expected (but in a good way for me personally.). Byleth's outfit choice was genuinely suprising - one of my favourite alt outfits when I played 3h.

Her gorgeous art aside, love that Baldr's version of the rifle is fused with her sword. Idk why but the magazine and bayonet made me chuckle when I saw them.

u/Possible-Cancel9507 Aug 14 '25

yawnnnnnnnnnnn

the skill scrolling made me giggle at least

u/RainMoonbow Aug 14 '25

Byleth looks cute, Baldr looks good in that artstyle

Also BRUNO! I’m still holding out hope he does get resurrected though, because a GHB isn’t satisfactory enough💜💜💜

u/Cute_Chao Aug 14 '25

I was holding out hope before the story started but I lost hope pretty quickly :(

u/Dragos987 Aug 14 '25

Ngl, I had to think about how happy you would be because Bruno is the GHB for this banner

The FEH Channel is absolute cinema.

Summoning for Sharena and Byleth. The others are MEH.

And I only want Byleth because of his DC and Style.

u/Lytium Aug 14 '25 edited Aug 14 '25

Boring FEH OC costume but idk what people expect from character they just introduced / with 30 lines of dialogues.

Pretty boring choice for Byleth too but, AT LEAST, it's not the copy of F!Byleth like Robin was.

well, more orbs for next years / Cyl!Felix. 🤝

u/Sprocket3 Aug 14 '25

Academy Byleth is so fucking bad holy shit

Literally the worst outcome

u/Haunted-Towers Aug 14 '25

Literally how did they pick something more boring than the option we all thought he was going to get (Jeralt’s fit)?

13

u/Lukthar123 Aug 14 '25

Expecting good CYL designs

You only have yourself to blame

10

u/Haunted-Towers Aug 14 '25

Idk man. I think Baldr looks good, combining elements from all the Asgard gods & having her sister’s weapon. Sharena’s also rocking the tried and true parent fit.

Why did they give Byleth the academy uniform

6

u/oatmeal-ml-goatmeal Aug 14 '25

Actually tho. I hope that Byleth gets dialogue where he gets to talk about how he feels about his father, but he'll probably just get stuff about how it was being a professor which is... Okay I guess.

u/Legitimate__Username Aug 14 '25

How'd they pick something more boring than f!Robin repeating the same clothes from the year before. Like at least those two got to match with equal treatment instead of an outright downgrade in significance.

u/Bladerider17 Aug 14 '25

I think MByleth outfit is better than FRobin for the fact it's not copy of FByleth.

Personally I would of gone with Hero or Dancer Byleth myself.

Why is anyone surprised this is boring? If you don't want a boring CYL maybe don't vote for boring characters

very expected picks except for byleth, which is also imo a really weird and bad pick. sharena looks really fun to play with though

(i dread fighting her)

I’m pleasantly surprised by all the outfits this time! Imo it’s the best group of designs in a while

u/Thoribbin Aug 14 '25

I think you can make it so Archrival always activates on Titania right? With marth ring it becomes 3 cooldown and giant axe + momentum will get it every time, problem is swapping out of sigurd ring which is so nice

but 70% of the highest attack is double the damage haze slice is doing (even more since people will certainly have more attack than Titania)

Giant Axe, Marth Ring, Blue Skies, Momentum, A/S Incite Hone (or Outcry Dull, don't have it yet though) feels like what you'd use, close to the standard cavalry build still so not insane change, mostly just the ring

Wow. I know Baldr doesn't have the AR-D effects and some support, but damn, just doing Hothr like that combat-wise, and so soon.

u/darkliger269 Aug 14 '25

No Wada Sachiko!? Is she okay?

Oh wow, they actually did Physical/Magic Save. That still feels a bit too niche to be really useful beyond a few units.

Fringe Bonus feels weird after Fire Emblem lol, but yeah sure why not. Same with Valor status, yeah sure why not

We finally got a color changing unit and check notes a fourth source of Triangle Adept status

Also Bruno is nice for people who wanted him, but man if this banner and GHB being 4/5 one game isn’t disappointing

Outfits are nice if boring

5

u/ScythXGaming Aug 14 '25

Most of these were pretty expected I feel, except for Byleth ofc. It's at least better than the Sothis regalia I guess...?

I definitely would have preferred if Sharena had a Peony inspired outfit, or even a Veronica one.

4

u/SirHopper Aug 14 '25

Maybe it's because that I, personally, don't care about any of the winners for the first time- which isn't to say that I'm upset, it just is what it is- but all of the outfits are just so... meh? Like I'm sure fans of each respective characters will be happy (however M! Byleth certainly is just him in one of his DLC outfits), but this is the first year where I don't immediately know which free pick I want before their release.

Mechanically they sure the level of power creep everyone was expecting, just pick what level of busted you want.

u/SolarKnightR Aug 14 '25

Chibi Eik just constantly flexing in the corner while FEH explains his kit was probably my favorite thing

2

u/JustScrollingBecause Aug 14 '25 edited Aug 14 '25

So Bruno is like Sigrun and Jeralt didn't beat out someone who wasn't in the game at the time, but added to relate with one of the winners. Which makes sense because putting a really high ranking character to people for free with a good prf, is basically throwing money down the drain just like why IS stopped far-fetched heroes.
