[nightmareonpeachstreet]

I was hoping to MAYBE get my +5 Brave Corrin to +7, but I…I got so lucky

When I tell you I use her every single day and she is one of my favorite units in the game, as well as one of my favorite FE characters in general…

My Corn harvest has been blessed

[unmeiokaemasu]

[yanderefairyangel]

This fandom is as predictable as I expected when I saw the result for CYL...

Stop theorising, here is why we didn't have an Engage sweep

If you compare the result to last year, less people have participated to CYL this year compared to the previous one. Bernadetta is the one who got most voted and received a total of 19, 600 vote. 2 years ago, CYL 6, the one who got voted most was Chrom who received a total of 42,134 votes. Just to give you an idea.

People were already rooting for the current winner last year. Bernadetta and F!Robin in particular were so disappointed that Gullveig won they made a more intense campaing this year.

Felix and Bernadetta are present in both 3H and Hopes, so if you take that into account, this mean they had more chances as they have 2 games they are featured in. An example, if you look at how much vote Leif received, he placed pretty well in both game he is featured in and his vote are all counted regardless of if you vote for him in Genealogy or Thracia

The votes for Engage character were very split out. If you looked up, you would see people were voting for many characters, including those who didn't made it in FEH yet and even the DLC characters. THE DLC CHARACTERS. In reality a lot of people voted for Engage. How do I know that ? Someone made a post comparing the votes and

Engage is second, right after the Foldan games. And if you look at the actual result

5 male units from Engage made it in the top 20, with 3 making it to the top 10

7 female units made it to the top 20, with at least 4 in the top 10

This means that a total of 12 units from Engage placed well. And from this 5 units are those who are featured in Engage's own top 5 having placed in top 10.

So if you make the maths, it's very easy to see that all votes were very much spread out because all combined we arrive to a result of 61,427 votes for the Engage character who made it to the top 20

Besides, as you can see Judgral receives less vote yet Sigurd is 4th place. Because most people who voted for Genealogy voted for Sigurd, so several fans voted for one single character instead of focusing individually on their own blorbo

so no, "No Engage sweep" doesn't mean "Engage bad" or whatever the heck I saw about the game itself.

It's just that Engage fans all voted for one character in this one cast in particular and it resulted in no real leading figure for the votes whereas people who voted for Awakening or 3H games were dominated by one lead figure due to fans voting for said characters for quite a moment

Fire Emblem Heroes-CYL Bonus Quotes + My Ideas for the Ones Who Don't Have Them

Choose Your Legends Winners have bonus quotes when they are on a team you enter a map with and playing with English voices (only the English voices have these quotes actually)! These are popular or funny quotes from their home games or other appearances, like Smash Bros.

CYL1

"The future is *not* written."-Lucina's victory quote in Smash Bros.

"Roy's our boy!"-Roy's crowd chant in Smash Bros.

"I'll be your peerless warrior!"-Lyn's promising words to Mark at the end of FE7 prologue

"You... like Ike?"-Ike's crowd chant in Smash Bros.

CYL2

"Take me with you!"-Veronica... I think she says this once to Bruno, but I can't find where specificailly

"Together, we will always stay."-Ephraim's A Support with Eirika

"Nothing will ever come between us."-Celica to Alm as kids during Echoes' opening movie

"I just gotta be me, y'know?"-Hector's A Support with Lyn

CYL5

"Let's go rescue my brother!"-Eirika to her troops at the end of FE8 chapter 6

"Caeda, what's wrong!?"-Marth to Caeda in FE1 chapter 1

"Please forgive me, Goddess..."-A constant sentiment of Marianne's character, and said verbatim once she slays her first enemy in FE16 chapter 2

"There was something to report, wasn't there?"-A staple of Gatekeeper's dialogue, said verbatim in FE16 chapter 5

CYL6

"I am *no* chatterbox."-Reference to Hapi's nickname for Byleth

"My... autograph?"-Tiki's C Support with Anna

"You are yourself."-Chrom's consoling words to Robin in FE13 chapter 13

CYL8

"Now... what was so damned important?"-F!Robin's B Support with Chrom

"You must be joking."-Felix during his Goddess Tower event in FE16 chapter 9

"One day... I'll be left alone."-A reference to the correct response to one of her advice box questions during FE16's war phase (this one I'm not 100% on, if anyone has corrections let me know in the replies)

"I'm going to kill you, too."-Alfonse to Letizia during Book 6, Chapter 5, Part 5: I Killed Him

However, the winners of CYL3 (2019), CYL4 (2020), and CYL7 (2023) don't have these bonus quotes. The reasons, if the directors or higher ups of the localization team forgot or they weren't too high priority for the time, are unknown. So I thought I'd take a stab at what I think they'd be for those winners.

CYL3

"I'll have their heads on a platter!"-Camilla at the of FE14 chapter 3

"I'm proud I took your hand."-Eliwood's A support with Hector

"I have finally found my purpose."-Micaiah at the end of FE10 chapter 3-F

Young Lucius: Monk in Training

We were so close to getting a tome Lucius...! IS actually remembered Lucius existed and gave him an alt, but then they forgot which weapon he starts out with again!!! (I'm sure it's intentional, tbh)

So close yet so far~ 😭

this piece was on the backburner foreverrrrrr

i legit started it over 6 months ago and never got around to finishing it. I promised I'd finish it if Lucius stayed in 100s in CYL, so here it is, haha. It's actually a lot older than it looks. How time flies

The Thracia 776 Bracket Qualifier! Starts Monday, July 1st at 3pm EDT

Here’s how it’s going to work:

There are going to be nine qualifying polls (six for the men, three for the women)

Pick your most bangable favorite from each poll

Polls will run for one week (I’d prefer 3 days but alas Tumblr doesn’t offer the option yet)

The top 32 male characters and the top 16 female characters will qualify for the men’s and women’s bracket

Polls:

Qualifier 1 (Finn, Osian, Halvan, Dagdar, Marty, Ronan, Lifis, Brighton)

Qualifier 2 (Fergus, Dalsin, Hicks, Shiva, Carrion, Cain, Alva, Robert)

Qualifier 3 (Fred, Salem, Perne, Troude, Glade, Deen, Homer, Ralf)

Qualifier 4 (Ilios, Sleuf, Shannam, Xavier, Conomor, Diarmuid, Saias, Ced)

Qualifier 5 (Galzus, August, Julius, Manfroy, Hannibal, Dryas, Arion, Travant)

Qualifier 6 (Bloom, Raydrik, Veld, Kempf, Reinhardt, Lewyn, Seliph, Leif*)

Qualifier 7 (Eyvel, Tanya, Safy, Machyua, Lara, Karin)

Qualifier 8 (Nanna, Selphina, Olwen, Mareeta, Linoan, Misha)

Qualifier 9 (Amalda, Ishtar, Altena, Julia, Eda)

I am also adding a Google Form to submit characters for an enby bracket so Limstella, Kyza, Mark, and Bramimond don’t get left out. These can be characters from any game as long as there is canon basis for them being nonbinary.

Extra notes under the cut

Characters who are excluded from voting:

Anyone who obviously both looks and acts like a literal child. I am not taking Kaga/manga ages into account. IS is very inconsistent on whether or not they bother following them anyway. So the standard is literally "if a reasonable adult could look at this character and immediately clock them as a child, then they're out". Some characters are borderline so discretion may be used

Palette swaps or characters who are mostly the same portrait with only slight variation to hair, outfit, etc. (so, basically, all of the tertiary antagonists lol)

Anyone who lacks either a unique portrait or a unique name

Characters who do not have a unique human form

Special Notes:

While Genealogy and Thracia have mostly different casts, there are going to be some characters that overlap. e.g. Lewyn, Seliph, Altena, Ced, etc. Since I've never actually played Thracia I have no idea how involved some of these characters are, but I've decided to just run them twice (once on Thracia, once on the Genealogy polls when we get there). If you don't think they belong with Thracia then feel free to not vote for them.

We're using whatever name popped up for them on the wiki when I googled "Thracia characters", which seems to be the localized names IS uses for them in the CYL polls.

*Leif was very borderline on whether or not I should include him. I've ultimately decided to include him because of his presence in Genealogy, where he's older. Since he uses the same design for both games I thought it'd be odd if I put him on the Genealogy bracket but not on the Thracia bracket. Feel free to not vote for him if you don't like that he's here

fir from fire emblem 6. she got all my cyl votes in heroes :>

last year's version

[rosecelebi]

Now that Fire Emblem Heroes has opened it's yearly Choose Your Legends voting period.... I am kindly asking you to consider sparing a vote (or two!) to two of my favorites in the series: F!Robin and Sigurd!

Why?

Well let's start with Robin,

Robin fans won out last year when their Male counterpart won the male division of CYL 7 alongside Soren and I'm sure many F!Robin fans (myself included) helped him reach that victory by voting, just as we did in previous years with Chrom and A!Tiki. F!Robin has waited for her time to shine and has supported her competition for several years now. It's time for her to receive the Awakening vote love!

If that wasn't enough to sway you, let's look at F!Robin's legacy in FEH.

1. Her base version was a year 1 grail unit with a mediocre (affectionate) refine that takes max investment to work around

2. Her summer alt is a year one seasonal with a bad weapon and book 1 era stats (but she sure is cute!)

3. Her legendary alt isn't even her- it's Grima. Grima took away her chance at being a legendary unit

4. Her Halloween alt is another Grima alt. She didn't even get to participate in Halloween because Grima took the spot :(

5. Her Valentine's alt is adorable but still a seasonal locked unit

6. Her rearmed version is yet another Grima.

HALF of all F!Robin's in FEH are Grima alts. There is no F!Robin available to summon in the normal 4/5 star pool. Getting a brave alt would be a big deal for her and her fans.

Please, spare a vote to the best tactician around, F!Robin!

~

Now, let's talk about Sigurd

Sigurd comes from FE4, Genealogy of the Holy War, a game I know many of you may not have played yet. That's okay though! I get it! It's a bit old and jank to play and you need to emulate it with a translation patch if you don't understand Japanese. So I'm gonna explain who this man is to you....

Sigurd is the heir to house Chalphy and a descent of the crusader Baldr in Judgral, which makes him kind of a big deal. Throughout his game, he makes allies with many people throughout Judgral in an attempt to unify and fight back against the rising corruption.

Along his journey, he meets Deirdre and the two fall in love and end up having a son together, Seliph. Sigurd is devoted to his family and loves Deirdre more than anything in the world. Sigurd is a family man. Look at this Cipher art if you need more explanation:

(*SPOILERS ahead for FE4, but FEH and Engage already spoiled this so if you somehow don't know what happens to Sigurd, maybe stop reading here*)

Tragedy befalls the couple not long after their son is born... Deirdre is kidnapped and her memories are wiped clean as she is needed for a sinister plot... Her holy blood is needed to help the Loptous cult resurrect their dark God so they use Deirdre as a pawn and marry her off to Arvis.

Sigurd is distraught with his wife gone and searches and searches for her but ultimately must continue through on his plans. He returns to his home and is met by Arvis, the Duke of Velthomer, and the descendant of the imperial family. He welcomes them in as a deceitful trick and declares Sigurd a traitor and calls for his execution. Before he issues the order, Arvis lets Sigurd meet his new wife- Deirdre as a sick and twisted punishment. With that, Arvis calls down Valflame and kills Sigurd and many of his army members.

Sigurd's legacy is carried by his son, Seliph, who will free Judgral from the horrors that the dark cult inflicted many years later.

~

So that was heavy. But do you understand why he's such a compelling character??? He has such an unfortunate heroes tale, but FEH let's us see him again and be able to reunite him with his love and his son.

Seliph got his own brave alt two years ago in CYL 6 and it feels right for it to be his father's time to step up and shine as a brave hero.

Let's look at Sigurd's legacy in FEH:

1. His base version is a year 1 sword cavalier who's a bit outdated but not unusable by any means with proper skill investment

2. His duo dancer alt is Deirdre is one of the best arts in the game and I won't let anyone convince me otherwise

3. His Legendary alt was a meta threat at one point in time and the art is gorgeous

4. Lastly, this year he got his second seasonal alt, a tea time Butler alt that just cute. He definitely is serving tea for Deirdre and making sure she's happy.

A brave alt just seems perfectly fitting for him at this point!

~

In conclusion, these are two characters who are ready for their moment to shine in FEH with a brave alt. They've waited for their friends or family members to get there first and now it's (potentially) their time for the brave win. Thank you for reading all this and may the CYL odds be in our favor!

TLDR: Vote for F!Robin and Sigurd in CYL 8!

[randomnameless]

Three houses get more representation in heroes because its popular ?

I guess?

My issue isn't with how popular or loved Fodlan is, but what FEH was supposed to be.

With FE Cipher, even if Fates and Awakening were very popular, we still had entire sets featuring FE6 characters. Ditto for FE4/5/8 (tfw a Bael got its own card).

CYL is a popularity contest, that much I understand.

And yet, I also understand FEH is supposed to be a celebration of the franchise itself - bla bla FEH is a main game because Vero is a paid DLC in Engage bla but would anyone really pay 60 bucks to play book 1 and 6 about Vero's story? Really ? If this is a main game , then the first warriors game is one too lol - so why are the same 3 games over represented ?

In Cipher, we had a Fates set, then a Jugdral set (featuring CIpher OCs?), then an Archanea set, then an awakening set, then a Valentia one, etc etc.

But if they follow the current FEH, it'd be one fodlan set, one thracia set, one fodlan set, one awakening set, one fodlan set, one tellius set, one fodlan set, one elibe set, one fodlan set etc.

I really get how popular units/games will always sell and the fan favourites are always represented, I played through 2 Tales gacha games lol, Links had basically a bajillion of Leons and Yuris while poor Caius barely existed, and Rowen never got a premium unit!

CYL is a fan event - for sure - but beyond CYL, it's just FEH that tires me - it's not a celebration of the FE series anymore, it's just a cashgrab to take money from some fans using their current obsession (Fateswakening in Year1-2, Fodlan now) so while it never concerned me in the first few years, I dgaf and moved on, wondering if the units I like would ever get a thing (and they did! Saias was released for free lol) but now with the state of powercreep the game has?

You have to roll for units, to get their skills and fodder them to units you care about, and even then, they might not be able to clean PVE content - I like when things are challenging, sure, but the last Seer's Snare was a cruel wake-up : even with the newest shiny skills and whatnot, Caineghis cannot compete with duo!Anna. P!Naesala has the WTA against them? Who gives a fig, he dies on initiation.

Hegemongard was just a prelude to what FEH would become lol - even if, with investment, old units could still put up a fight against her, but you had to get dedicated team to counter her.

Now? With a team with W!Mitris, L!Alear and A!Elincia? Good luck tanking anything lol - sure, Tina is a godsend and I find if hilarious how this random nobody from FE5 is supposed to counter the crazed current meta, but it's the same issue - sell ridiculous units, and sell ridiculous counters.

It's the essence of a gacha game.

Maybe the next A!Caineghis or maybe a L!Caineghis will make the character relevant again - at least if you want to play and use him, but... as far as FEH is concerned, no one gaf about Cain, so he might have gotten a refine and yet he'll not get another unit. Forgive him in you want to play PVE content - or roll for new premium units and field him as a cute mascot.

FEH Channel thoughts:

1. CYL results

Well, I can't say I didn't expect disappointment, but hey, Alfonse won, so maybe they'll finally get off their asses and realize that the Askr Trio needs buffs. Safe to say I'm definitely picking him.

2. Emblem Heroes and Mythic Lumera

I had a huge hunch that this was gonna happen eventually, but Emblems are here now, so that eventually means another Leif for me to grab. But the effects seem kinda underwhelming if I'm being honest. A weapon buff for weaker units would've made Emblems more desirable. Especially when so many Seasonals have shitty weapons.

Oh, and more Lumera is always welcome.

3. Log-in rewards and such

Oh hey, the tickets aren't locked behind Orb packs, that's smart. If they pulled that Christmas shit, people would've been super pissed.

4. General Updates

A lot of expected things, but the SI cap being raised to 5 is basically the best part of the entire Feh Channel. Still, it should've been 6 or 7 instead to account for Attuned Skills.
