oh no generic enemy halberdier dont aim for that sword user generic enemy halberdier no generic enemy halberdier watch out theres a sniper

[rwbyrg]

Can we take a moment to appreciate just how well fed we are? Both in canon and beyond?

Oscar said "woah" the moment he first met Ruby.

"Woah. You have... silver eyes". Specifically.

The scene of them sparring at sunset and being goofy about it.

They're the two youngest members of the team, and both of their main allusions are stories about growing up (The Little Prince and Little Red Riding Hood).

Oscar's main allusion is of a character that's in love with a rose. Ruby's last name is Rose, she has a rose emblem, and can turn into rose petals.

They also have shared/parallel allusions from in-universe fairytales (Ex. The Boy Who Fell From The Sky, The Girl Who Fell Through the World, and most notably, The Warrior in the Woods).

The Dojo Scene

Their shared attachments to each other keep being put in focus.

Oscar cared more about Ruby being knocked out than Weiss being impaled at Haven.

Ruby's always watching his back in fights, and he always has hers in group conflict discussions.

Neo, the illusionist character, uses Oscar as both the first and last illusion to torture Ruby; going so far as to make Ruby "kill" him with her own hands. It could have been anyone, but it WASN'T. It was OSCAR.

Meanwhile, Oscar in the V9 epilogue laments to Ruby's "grave" about how he is struggling to hold onto who he is more than ever before. In large part because of the merge, but also because Ruby "always saw people for who they really were", and she's not around anymore to help remind him of who he is.

"You're your own person."

The Almost Hug.

The song that plays leading up to The Almost Hug is one about someone pining for a love they've lost and been separated from across worlds. The song airs a few episodes before Oscar and Ruby are the only "pairing" split up between Remnant and The Ever After. The song itself is called Treasure and Ruby is a type of precious gem, while Oscar's name alludes to gold.

Oscar's last name is Pine. Which, aside from the species of tree, is defined as: "to long or yearn for the return of something; to suffer, typically from a broken heart"(please see points 12 and 15).

They have multiple paralleling arcs and themes around choice, identity, responsibility, leadership, grief, etc.

Their character designs have complimentary colour schemes like other canon ships (red/green and silver/gold).

Sun/Moon ship

"Combat gear looks good."

They also follow the same story beats, separations, and reunions that other canon ships have in show (the meet-cute, the getting-to-know-you, the breakup arc, the distance makes the heart grow fonder trope, the (upcoming) emotional reunion, etc).

The animators, writers, and even voice actors on occasion, engage with fan content or discussions of the ship in a positive manner.

The Official RWBY Twitter Oscars Meme

Miles Luna has said a few times that the ship is cute. He also highlights that their relationship is built on mutual understanding from being in similar circumstances as the youngest kids in the group with too much weight on their shoulders.

Miles also said that in a hypothetical scenario where everyone celebrates Oscar's birthday, Ruby would buy a co-op video game as a present and the two of them would stay up really late playing it together.

Rosegarden won 2nd place in a popular RWBY YouTuber's "Top 10 RWBY Ships" poll as voted by fans after Volume 8 (it would have been third place if Renora and Bumbleby hadn't tied for first).

That one video from Aaron Dismuke, Oscar's VA.

"That kid's got a collapsible staff" -heart eyes emoji-

We've gotten a "Rosegarden Moment" in every Volume premiere since Oscar's debut in V4.

Oscar shouting Ruby's name too many times in the V6 fight against Cordovin.

Maria tells Oscar to "keep that fire fed" after he overhears Ruby talking about food always making her feel better. Then a few episodes later, he suspiciously makes a casserole for the "team" after "they" had a rough day (where he stood up for Ruby when she was looking defeated in a group argument).

Oscar's the only person Ruby opened up to about her grief until the blacksmith. Meanwhile, Ruby's the one who's always assuring Oscar he's his own person despite the merge.

The parallels of Oscar's struggle with the merge and Ruby's ascension in The Ever After.

"I'm just going to be another one of his lives, aren't I?" / "What if you could be anyone?"

Characters within the narrative regularly notice how close these two are to each other. Mainly Nora, Weiss, Yang, Cinder and Neo.

Oscar blushed when Ruby touched his shoulder???

Star's Engage Catalogue Day 34 (part 5)

I feel that it's only right to showcase the final team that will be joining me.

And I have to split it into 2 posts because Tumblr has a 10-picture limit.

Don't really think I have to explain why Alear has been a strong fighter. You see those stats and you see why I had Marth stick with him, those two are a perfect fit.

But I wanna talk about how shocked I am by Alear's character. He's genuinely up there with Corrin and Shez as one of the best avatars this series has done. His story is engaging, he's a joy to watch in anything he does or says, his voice acting is immaculate, he's so God flippin adorable! I'll definitely talk more about him another time, but he managed to become one of my favorite characters in all of Fire Emblem, something I never expected to happen playing this game!

Again, don't think I need to explain why a dancer is good. And while Corrin worked with him for a while, Byleth is a better option, especially with the stats he gives.

And Seadall surprised me with his character. His alluring nature and way of speaking, his wisdom and experience from his past, the struggles he deals with from his lifestyle, and the way he can inspire others even when he doesn't believe in himself. I don't know how some of y'all can say he's boring, this sh*t is lovely.

Also he's pretty as hell, but I think you can see that.

Rosado has been a reliable fighter who can just about any enemy I have him face. Good stats, weapon variety and flyer mobility make him extremely versatile. Leif has been the best fit for him, since his stat boosts and skills work best for how Rosado functions in battle.

His character is also wonderful. A perfect evolution of Forrest and wonderful rep for trans, genderfluid, crossdresser's, and gender questioning people in a time where they really need positive representation. Plus he's spunky and sassy while also being caring and supportive.

Amber is a weirdly good example of hard-hitting but fragile. His low speed and res make him susceptible to one-hit kills, but the enemy can't do that if he doesn't kill them in one hit first. Eirika also works weirdly well for him, as the twins' skills suit whatever I need him to do that turn.

But I can overlook all of that for his character. I love this doof! He's so dumb and goofy but filled with so much positivity and cheerfulness it's hard not to smile at his antics. Even when he royally f*cks something up, you can't help but smile and go, "Youre doing amazing, sweetie."

Alcryst might just be the strongest member of my team and Lyn really helped to bring out his true potential. Her skills perfectly suit his play style and ensure that any he fights will not survive, whether it'd be death by crit, death by Luna, or Alacrity stopping the opponent from even fighting back. And with me giving him avoidance skill, literally nothing can even touch him. It's honestly ridiculous how busted this unit is.

And don't get me started on how much I love this little skrunkly! He stole my love the second his first scene ended and it only got better with each scene he got. I just wanted this boy to have love and happiness and seeing him get that from everyone in his life- his brother, his retainers, his friends, his boyfriend- they all just make me smile.

Alfred has a rocky middle, but he really picked up. Once I started utilizing the resources I got and realized that he got swords after being promoted, Alfred really came into his own and started being a powerhouse. Sigurd has been his Emblem since the start. No one else can really utilize his movement the same way Alfred does.

Alfred also shocked me with his character. I already liked him enough for the goofy and entertaining meathead he was, but the second I unlocked his A-support with Céline, everything I perceived about him changed! He went from being just a fun and silly presence to one of the most tragic yet hopeful characters in this. Someone who, even knowing they have little time left, refuses to give up and continues to strive forward to protect everything and everyone he cares. Someone who doesn't ask for your pity and will always be put you first.

I couldn't have picked a better person to give the Pact Ring to.

Alflear for life, baby!

Zelkov is a unit that started off good and continued to be good throughout the entire game. I've never been in a position where it felt like bringing him along was an inconvenience, even when there was no chest for him to unlock. Hell, for the longest time, he didn't even need an Emblem to assist him, but when I did decide to give him one, the Three Houses lords for him like a glove.

And God, I love listening to him talk! I had no idea what to expect out of him during the lead-up to Engage, but I am so happy with what I got. An enigmatic and mysterious yet sweet, caring, and helpful man who seems like an autistic coded goat on the surface but is just using his many hobbies to avoid dealing with the trauma of his childhood- that is right up my alley!

I'll do the second half in the next post.

Personality: Alexis is a quiet person. He tends to keep to himself and will purposely ignore people he does not like. However, he will be attentive and listen when he is speaking to someone he is close to.

Background: Alexis hails from the Land of Woe. His family runs a funeral home. He mostly spent time on his own whenever the rest of his family was busy. As the youngest in the family, he was not required to do any of the work. However, he feels like he does not fit into the family too much. His mother had always wanted a daughter, but she ended up with only sons. Alexis thought his mother hated him, so he left home. However, an accident happened. Due to the accident, he ended up becoming one of the undead.

Since he was still capable of using magic, his parents decided to send him to a magic school. When he was accepted into Night Raven College, his father saw him off.

The undead can only stick around for 5 minutes max. It can be used on more than one individual, but that will cost more magic.

Chant: "Wither and decay, time trickles away. Dance of Death."

Trivia:

Alexis is based on Charon the ferryman.

He is undead. As a result, he is cold to touch. The stitches on his body are keeping him together. However, the stitches can be undone and his limbs can be detached.

Despite being detached, his limbs can still move.

He is afraid of butterflies

My final party for fire emblem Engage- stats plus analysis

Insanely good- but sadly too good. I invested a lot into her because I knew she would be there the whole game and be a good use for it. But in the end I probably would have been better off giving those resources to someone else and making her the greatest utility character ever- after all the extra point of warp and byleth instruct is something only she can do. Still, it was fun as hell to have a ridiculous one-shotting Alear. Also why does her second sword come so late?

Incredible. Almost all of that is because corrin is really good, but he is the best user for her so it works fine. Once he got super high level Luna happens all the time too! Pretty nice setup for longbow dreadful auras and Covert Dragon-Veins

My beautiful wife, and also a really strong unit. Part of that is Wolf Knight being an incredible class, but she's also got great stats. Gave her the flame Lance for occasion magic damage but silver daggers and later Cinquedea ended up being more than enough

Pretty good! Single-minded, gasping Void, echo and Nova all work really well together, but even without that she isn't bad. Pretty much always had something good she could do

Took a long time to get going but once she did was incredible. I could tell she was strong but had no idea what to do with her until I finally did a reclass into Great Knight with Ike. Then she became a machine- over 80 percent critical rates against everything and defense high enough to never get hurt. Even magic wasn't a big concern. She covered entire halves of the map for me on maddening

Mediocre, but could double as a tank and kill weaker units so was glad to have him. Let him pick up Tomes so he could kill more

He's a dancer. Cool. Kinda funny how they also gave him chain guard and arts, which are both really good utility you almost never use because dancing utility is almost always better

He had bows which was cool, then I needed someone to use Micaiah around the time bows stopped being good. Anyone could warpskip but he had some bulk to occasionally take a hit

He was ok as a sage but I needed someone to take Roy so radiant bow it is! Kinda awful but funny crit every now and then.

The game takes it's sweet time giving you another Dragon. Veyle was good at killing things, and then I gave her draconic hex and byleth so she could be good at utility too

I fell in love with her early on and used her throughout the entire game. She would fluctuate between MVP for ability to dodge tank all the way to dead weight for having no bulk & no damage, but with Lucina she can poison with dual strikes and add an extra 90 to her avoid.

Goldmary had a funny gimmick, and the best stats out of the backup characters from the midgame so I used her. She never did TOO much, but brave assist/Dual Assist+ is a nice combo and with Marth and a Silver Blade she could lodestar rush problem enemies

The best staff bot, but that doesn't mean much. Every now and then another Staffer is good and she does also provide a nice AOE warp/rescue before doing the paralogues. Also, she was funny- worth a couple points

Worse gimmick than goldmary and worse stats, but I needed someone to replace saphir as a backup attacker so in he goes. He would be fine if I gave him some extra levels of course but I needed backup attacks more

Julia should've been in Fire Emblem Engage send post

[theoutlawmage]

I have an AU story idea for Fire Emblem Engage for Dialear fans if they want it. I'm too busy writing Those Scheming Matchmakers, The Emblems than to add another project to my list.

I will also confess I have also binge watched Sailor Moon Crystal this weekend (Is it June yet? I want Stars so much! Looks like I have to read the manga if I want the rest of the story again.), but I couldn't help seeing the parallels between the game and the anime, Alear (Sailor Lythos) and Usagi (Sailor Moon), Ivy (Sailor Elusia) and Ami (Sailor Mercury), Diamant (Sailor Brodia) and Rei (Sailor Mars), Alfred (Sailor Firene) and Makoto (Sailor Jupiter), and Timerra (Sailor Solm) and Minako (Sailor Venus). Veyle is Sailor Gradlon. The men would look more like Mamoru (Tuxedo Mask). Here's the story line.

1,000 years ago, during the war with the Fell Dragon, Alear met and fell in love with Diamant, the crown prince of Brodia. They shouldn't have met, but fate spoke and fell in love. Queen Lumera should've seen it and stopped it, but she loved seeing her daughter so happy.

As Alear and Diamant love grew, the hatred grew as well. Sombron struck Alear down and killed all the Royals of Elyos. Queen Lumera was able to subdue Sombron. However, it took so much power to subdue Sombron that she could only save Alear and put her to sleep, and the rest are reincarnated.

Now 1,000 years later, Sombron is on the verge of waking up, and Lumera knows it's only a matter of time before he does. She hopes she can teach Alear what she needs to do and who she needs to find. But it's too late when she sees another Sailor Senshi she had never seen before and strikes her down. She knows her daughter has the ring, but she still holds on to life so she can give her daughter the broach to transform herself into the Pretty Gaurdian Sailor Lythos. She tells Sommie (who is a combination of Luna and Artemis) to protect Alear.

As Queen Lumera is dying and tears from Alear's face pouring down, she still tells her daughter to have faith and gather the others to fight the evil that is looming once and for all.

Take what you want from it. Change it around if you like. Again let me know if you use this prompt and link me.

[yupuffin]

Wow so today is a LOT of things, it is the second anniversary of me starting Fire Emblem Engage and the first anniversary of me pulling Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, plus I'm going to pull for Boothill this evening, and on top of that it's one of my OC's birthdays?!

I already got home late so I definitely won't have time to celebrate everything, but there you go 😆

(hhhh I only play a Fire Emblem game like once every few years but FE still fills me with serotonin)

Theorycrafting the Elyos Royals FEH Part 2

Emblem, Engage!

unoffical sprite from archsage

Hortensia: Supreme Cuteness

Staff – Flying - Fire Emblem: Engage – 5 Star

36/41/40/16/40

Your favorite princess, Hortensia, is here! What? She’s not your favorite? Well, that’s understandable. They really did combined the annyoning little sister with the “OH ho ho” noblest snob archetypes into a clown Vtuber. But in my opinion, she is the best staff user in . . . all of Fire Emblem? Sure, other healer from older games have their utility, but Engage has the best selection of staffs, it has Emblem Micaiah, and Hortensia’s Big Personality and Sleipnir Rider class, a flying Res tank with World Tree to give her Dex% chance of not consuming a use of her staff, made her the best of the best. So, how does this work in FEH, now that we have three of the most powerful 5-star staff units we ever had?

World Tree Staff : Calculates damage from staff like other weapons. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1; max cooldown count value cannot be reduced below 1). Enables [Canto (1)]. At start of turn, if Special cooldown count is at its maximum value, grants Special cooldown count-1. If unit is within 3 tile radius of an ally, grant unit Atk/Spd+6 to unit, neutralizes effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat. If unit initiate combat, after combat, if Special cooldown count is at its maximum value, grants Special cooldown count-1.

So compared to Val!Elise, Hortensia is getting a sort of Time’s Pulse 4 and Null-Guard instead of +1 Special Charge, and she’s getting Canto (1) instead of inflicting Flash. So, she is much better at using offensive Specials, but also we’re not stacking the Gravity/Flash like Elise was doing.

Holy Flash - Physic+ - Dazzling Shift – Flier Guidance 4

Holy Flash: (Cooldown 3) If an Assist skill is used, unit's Special cooldown count does not go down. When Special triggers, boosts damage by 45% of foe's Res. (Calculates damage from staff after combat damage is added.) If this Special is triggered during combat, inflict Def/Res-7 and “foe cannot counterattack” on target and foes within 2 spaces of target after combat.

Flier Guidance 4: Flying allies within 2 spaces can move to a space within 2 spaces of unit. Grants Atk/Spd+3 to flying allies within 2 spaces of unit during combat, and also, if those allies' Spd > foe's Spd, neutralizes effects that prevent those allies' follow-up attacks during combat.

As for the other skills, I got two new ones. While Holy Restraint was the Luna+Gravity Special, Holy Flash is the Luna+Flash Special, but since that seems not as useful as Gravity, I also add a lighter Dagger effect, so your team will do more damage, and benefit from not getting counter attacked more. You can think of this as her using the Break staff from Engage, if you want. Then there’s Flier Gudiance 4, which is just Guidance 4 from Re!Tana. She then gets Physic+ because she was always assisting from a distant with her perf skill, and Dazzling Shift, to help with repositioning allies with Guidance 4. So her whole game plan is warp in, attack her foe, trigger her Special, Flash the foe’s, then guidance her flyer allies in to sweep things up. You can say that she’s using Lucina’s All for One engage skill, like she does in Chapter 7, and that was totally intentional.

Unoffical Sprite from archsage

Timerra: Sandstorm Princess

Lance – Infantry – Fire Emblem: Engage – 5 Star ReArmed

40/39/35/43/27

Your favorite princess, Timarra, is here! What? She’s also not your favorite? Well, that’s inconceivable. She sings dumb campfire songs, exclusively cooks meat skews, and accessorizes with jawbreakers. What more do you want? . . . I guess some more relevance to the overall plot but I guess all these characters are disposable after their respective story arches. But at least her role as a frontline defender and dual striker is still here. With tons of Def, balance Str/Spd, a trigger skill that increased damage base on her Def, and a passive AOE debuff that lowers foe’s Crit chance. How do I make her a ReArmed unit?

Acrane Picket: Unit can counterattack regardless of range. If unit's HP >= 25%, inflict Atk/Def-6 on foe's during combat, grant unit a guarantee follow-up attack, neutralizes penalties on unit's Def/Res, and reduces damage from foe's follow-up attack by 60% during combat.

That’s right! If we are going to get an inheritable Distant Counter weapon, it would be in the form of an Arcane weapon. For now, I just replaced Accelerate Special with it, then gave it the basics for a slow tank to function well. However, instead of “Preventing foe’s follow-up", she reduces the damage. I figured that there was enough NFU that this might be a better incase the tank couldn’t one-shot with a counterattack. This would be best served with Special Fighter or Hardy Fighter on armored units, infantry can use Bulwark, Tempo, or a Dodge skill (if they don’t get NFU), and . . . I don’t know what fliers and cavalry would do with this. Maybe Guard 4. Also, the A slot is now open for a tier 4 skill, or maybe. . .

Sturdy Breath: If foe initiates combat, grants Atk/Def+6 during combat and Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.)

Yeah, I made a Steady Breath 2 skill months ago and I just thought this would be less confusing. Note that this skill grants charge on both unit and foe’s attack, unlike Steady Breath. This will be used to charge her Ignis on her follow-up attack, but you can swap it with Bonfire if you think that’s better.

Raket of Solm: Inflict Atk/Spd/Def/Res-4 and Special Cooldown -1 per attack on foes within a 3 tile radius. If unit is within a 2 tile radius of an ally, grant unit Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 during combat.

And now for that perf skill. In a way, Critital Evade is like Guard so this gives her the other benefit of Steady Stance 3. While also giving it to adjacent allies, or any ally fighting a foe in the 3 tile radius of her, along with 4 stat advantage on all stats. Timarra then get another +4 to her stats making it a +8 stat advantage, similar to the +8/10 during combat that other perf A slot skills got.

Ignis – Sturdy Breath – Atk/Def Bulwark - Raket of Solm

After that, it’s the afore-mentioned Ignis, and Atk/Def Bulwark to make the frontline easier. You may notice this skill was introduced by Askr, and that Timarra featured in Askr’s home workout video from this year’s April Fools. Think of it as a parting gift.

Fogado: Desert Cupido

Bow – Calvary - Fire Emblem: Engage – 5 Star

39/40/42/21/32

Your favorite … not doing this again. Fogado, aka Cluade 2, is the sexy archer prince, channeling the vibrato of Disney’s Aladdin. When you wanted a solid bow knight, you instead get a mixed Str/Mag bow knight, with high Spd, a similar “benifit from fighting the same foe twice” perf skill, and a trigger skill that only works when foe’s attack him, and works like Vengeance, the skill reserved for Barbarinas or Nosforaetu Dark Mages. What a weird guy. To use him to his full potancal, you need to but him in danger of dying, have a weapon to counterattack with, and hope he triggers his skill or just kills on the counter attack. Roy’s Hold Out can stop him from dying while Leif could ensure he has either a Bow or Sword equipped to counterattack and that he vantages, and then there is Ike’s Warth. But enough Engage strategy, how do I make that in heroes?

Cupido Bow: Effective against flying foes. Grants Atk+3. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit during combat, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res, and also, if unit initiates combat or foe initiates combat and foe's range = 2, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% and boosts unit's next attack by total damage reduced (by any source, including other skills). Resets at end of combat.

Oh, is that Nyx’s Tome, but I added the Adaptive damage, since he is best used with a Radiant Bow. I also made it so all ranged foe’s will get their nukes sent Back at You. But how will he survive those attacks in the first place?

Reprisal – Remote Sparrow – Vantage 4

Vantage 4: Inflict Atk-4 on foe during combat. When foe initiates combat, if unit's HP ≤ 99%, unit’s counterattack occurs before foe’s first attack.

Okay, Reprisal is just there for more damage. We got Remote Sparrow for more damage and more damage reduction to live counter attacks boost his retaliation damage. Then there’s Vantage 4, which is there just to withstand further onslaughts by sniping them before they snipe back. Admittedly, this does make the main effect of the bow pointless, but . . . Okay, this slot was gonna be Seal Def 4 but Wedding!Anna just came with the same Remote Sparrow, Seal Def 4 combo. Sure, Fogato will be added years from now and as a normal hero but people are going to call me out on this.

And that's all for now. Next time, we will be looking at the rest of the supporting cast, many will be 3-4 star but I hope you don't get disappointed if you're actual favorited doesn't get the premium treatment. Please like, comment, and do the Askr.

Theorycrafting the Elyos Royals FEH Part 1

Emblem, Engage!

I'm doing something new here (unless you see my old fanmade Heroes sprites), making theory crafting new heroes. I’m going off of my predictions from a while ago and I’m starting with Elyos royals, hence the title. Also, the royals on the box art will be getting the same treatment as Alfred, a Rearmed unit with a Pref skill, named after their perf skill. Let’s Engage! (not in a marry sort of way (unless))

Diamant: Brodia’s Successor

Sword – Infantry – Fire Emblem: Engage – 5 Star ReArmed

45/46/36/37/20

The Crowned Prince of Brodia is massively popular character from Engage by sheer husbando merit alone. His personal class makes him a modified Hero class that gives him Sol. He came with high HP, Strength, and Defense, with good Speed and Build to reliably avoid being double. This overall balance of a melee unit makes him adaptable to many Emblems and Skills to inherit. His stats above reflex that, with higher the average HP, the new max Atk, and even Spd and Def. His weakness to Magic is something he will share with Alfred.

Arcane Jian: Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Def-6 on foe during combat, deals damage = 15% of unit's Atk (including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat), reduces damage before and during combat by attack by 40% (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials), and grant unit a guaranteed follow-up attack.

Well, I was late to make an arcane sword that gave NFU, so I when with a more tank sword. After that, you get true damage base on your Atk instead of Spd, and reduce damage from all of foe’s attack. While Arcane Lúin is perfect for Speedy units, this is for slow heavy-hitter units.

Fair Fight: If foe initiates combat or foe can counterattack, grant unit Atk/Spd/Def/Res+8 during combat and reduce damage from foe's second attacks and onward by 80%. If unit's HP ≥ 75% and unit initiates combat, foe can counterattack before unit's first attack. After combat, if unit’s HP = 100%, unit is dealt 1 damage.

Now for the perf. From Diamint’s personal skill from Engage gives him and his opponent extra Hit chance when he initiates. It’s a double edge sword that could be used in your favor to intentionally take damage and use Wrath or Reprisal. But since he has Sol, it can be mitigated if he triggers on the follow-up, or better, on his one hit when using a Smash weapon. For this, he gets all these stats and damage reduction on follow-up attacks (like Brave Ike) when he in combat with a foe that can hurt him (no initiating on 2 range foes, that’s an unfair fight).

Sol – Fair Fight – Warth 4 – Joint Close Def

So I’m popping both my theorycrafted Warth 4 and Joint Close Def, which isn’t even in the game yet like come on. I’m also changing my HP ≤ 90% to HP ≤ 99% because why not at this point. I gave him the deal 1 damage in his A slot for that reason.

Wrath 4: If unit's attack can trigger their Special, grant the following: At start of turn, if unit's HP ≤ 99%, grants Special cooldown count-1. At the start of combat, if unit's HP ≤ 99%, deals +10 damage when Special triggers and neutralize effects that inflict "Special Cooldown charge-X" on unit during combat. After combat, if unit's HP ≤ 99%, grants Special cooldown count-1.

Joint Close Guard: Grants Def/Res+4 to allies within 2 spaces during combat against sword, lance, axe, dragonstone, or beast foes. If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally and foe uses sword, lance, axe, dragonstone, or beast damage, grants Def/Res+4 to unit during combat.

Yeah, he’s a bit of a mess, falling into the same problem Alfonse had where you intentionally take damage, get more powerful, then heal back up in a loop. But the loop cuts short when the guy you fight is at max power when at full health. I did mitigate it by having the HP condition be 1 point of damage, and making him take 1 point of damage.

Alcryst: Inferior Complex

Colorless Bow - Infantry - Fire Emblem: Engage – 5 Star

38/44/43/30/27

Fittingly, the second prince of Brodia is behind in popularity behind his big bro Diamant. The last two infantry archers we got in heroes since the BST boost from CYL were Eti (with the highest Atk) and Kiragi (tied with highest Spd). They are both 3-4 stars. Our 5 star locked boy, is going to compete with these two by having one less then both of those unit’s best stats, cuz he needs to be inferior is some way. His unique class, Tireur d'élite, is best known for spamming Luna better than any of the other characters with unique trigger skill classes. So, I have . . . basically made him the bow version of ReArmed Ophilea.

Eilte Bow: Effective against flying foes. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If foe initiates combat with an ally within 2 spaces, grant that ally Def/Res+5 during combat, and after combat, grant unit Atk/Spd/Def/Res +6 for 1 turn and also, if unit’s Special is at its maximum value, grant Special count-1. If unit initiate combat or is within a 2 tile radius of an ally, grant bonus to unit’s Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 4 + current bonus on each of unit's stats during combat. Calculates each stat bonus independently.

Alcryst’s personal skill is “Get behind me!” Where in, If an nearby ally is attacked during enemy phase, Alcryst get a one turn Attack boost. Since that’s nothing, I gave if a full +6 and Time Pulse when an ally is attacked. I also included a Drive Bracing Stance, which pairs well with Joint Close Guard. From there, he’s just gets another boost in combat that comes with bonus doubler. So that’s like, +16 to all stats.

Luna - Special Spiral 4 – Joint Distant Guard

After that, he has is signature Luna, along with Special Spiral 4 and Joint Distant Guard to further protect your allies and yourself against the foe's you can counter attack against. No A slot skill though.

Ivy: Elusive Lindwurm

Green Tome – Flying – Fire Emblem: Engage – 5 Star ReArmed

39/44/36/25/29

The Crown Princess of Elusia and avatar worshiper, Ivy is here. She’s known for using tomes, riding a wyvern, having surprising balanced stats for a mage, a purple outfit with a boob window, and . . . is this Camila, or am I mistaking her for Zephia? Anyway, I had three idea’s for her, one is Chapter 8 appearance where she used Emblem Leif to Vantage tank your team, the second is based on her recruitment chapter, where she used the Lyn ring and used Alacrity (or Spd check Desperation) to two tap foes, and the third is “Why not both?” That’s the worst option, but if she gets a Legendary or Summer alt, that’s what it would be. As for this build, we have two Vantage mage fliers in the form of B!Bylth and Ninja!Camila, while we have three mages with Desperation, with Spring!Delthia, B!Lysithia, and Winter!Lysithia, none of them are fliers. And I know Ivy is more bulk than Spd, but we still need her to be meta.

Arcane Excalibur: Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit's HP > 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, inflict penalties on foe's Spd/Res = penalties active on foe's Spd/Res during combat (Calculate stats independently), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% during combat, and also, if unit's Spd > foe's Spd, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat.

This is an Arcane tome built for Speedy tome users that also further increases her damage and Spd by doubling the Spd/Res penalties. Then there’s the 30% DR and NFU we saw on the other Arcane weapons. Next, it’s Ivy’s perf B slot skill.

Single Minded: Enables [Canto (1)]. Inflicts Spd/Res-4 on foe during combat, and if no effect neutralizes penalties to foe's Spd/Res, inflicts penalty on foe's Spd/Res during combat = 6 - current penalty on foe's Spd/Res (min: 0). Calculate stats independently. Inflicts Spd/Res-6 on foe through its next action after combat. If unit initiate combat penalties and unit’s Spd > foe’s Spd - X, unit's follow-up attack occurs before foe's counterattack (X= active penalties on foe’s Res).

So, I gave her a very player phased focused B slot. She has Canto 1. She has Spd/Res Seal 4, in that she inflicts - 10 Spd/Res if the foe can't neutralize penalties, otherwise it's -4, then she applies -6 Spd/Res. She then gets Alacrity, the Spd check desperation that Lyn gives her, but as a bonus, she adds the penalties' on the foe's Res to help her Spd check. The idea is that, her perf gives her more Hit when facing the same opponent again. I'm mirroring this by using the Spd/Res penalties to mark a foe she fought.

Ruptured Sky – Atk/Spd Catch 4 – Single Minded – Spd Smoke 4

For the rest of her kit, she came with the skill Grasping Void, that takes the foe's Magic stat and add it to her own damage. A more reliable version of that in Heroes is Ruptured Sky, that takes the foe's Atk stat (more if it's a dragon). Sorry Byleth, you don't have a monopoly on that skill anymore. Then there's Atk/Spd Catch to use the penalties to applies to boost her damage, and Spd Smoke 4 to give her more Spd and [Dodge] after fighting. This mirrors the Spd Taker skill that Lyn also provides. These great fodder skill should make up for the fact she don't come with any new inheritable skills.

So I'm gonna be real, I have been super busy this month so I couldn't type up these new explanation in a reasonable time. I figure I split this post in two just to get it out before the next new heroes banner. Remember to like, comment, and follow.
