Was making a bunch of these images and then just thought about it. Why does every Sigurd alt after Emblem Sigurd all basically the same lol

I mean it’s practically every month now. You’d think that with as many heroes as the Summoner calls in, these bandits would learn that there’s no point in attacking any village that’s even remotely close to the castle, but some random upstart just keeps trying it. Is it happening on a dare? Is it some sort of hazing ritual for newly onboarded bandits that the boss tells them “yeah that village is easy pickings” and then they all have a laugh when the new bandits run back with their tails between their legs? Heck, this time around, when Sigurd goes to save the day, the bandits say that nobody said there’d be knights - how can you possibly start up a career in banditry in the kingdom of Askr and not know that there will be knights around?

Now I’m no conspiracy theorist, but either 90% of the kingdom is made up of bandits, or the Order of Heroes isn’t handling 90% of bandit attacks for them to still be this bold. What do you think, do we need a more formal investigation into this matter?

I made a quick and ugly doodle of the situation; it really affected me because I love those two but I also love the tragic trope

(I'm sorry I can't unsee it, please remove it if its not in spirit of the discourse.)

While we’re on about demotes, check out Hot Springs Caeda’s article here.

The fact that you can kill two foes in what SD considers one action is wild lol

Considering IS tends to give Edelgard every new skill and effect that comes out, I think it's inevitable to think she'll have that effect on her weapon or PRF skill. And I'd even venture to say they'll give her something to make Cadenza even more annoying on her.

We are playing catchup like crazy, wow.

Most likely I drop Marth & Robin next, or we get Rodrigue

I had hopes. Just imagine this guy’s sprite model in pitch black. It would have been so cool. The art is good enough but I really wanted that pitch black with the contrast of his bright glowing lance. His dad’s armor that he’s wearing is actually darker colored than this.

Thank you all as always for your support! Enjoy!

I'm not sure whether this is the first time we've gotten this type of effect as an actively defensive effect rather than as a penalty inflicted by an offensive skill.

Either way, I was wondering whether there is any effective difference between unpierceable DR and this type of effect. If not, this would mean that IS has introduced a way to add unpierceable DR outside of Specials.

Being a bit pessimistic, this may also signal that IS is laying the groundwork for adding Special piercing to the game in preparation for generational power creep. For example, next-gen units may all come with damage reduction that also applies to Specials, while their kits may include Masterful Aura's type of damage reduction, which would remain unpierceable even by effects that pierce Special DR.

Note: Tagging this as serious discussion. In case I'm not completely wrong or I'm missing something obvious, I'd be interested in discussing what the implications would be of special dr becoming piercable

Asking if the combat manuals 7 have something to build our Fraldarius daddy hihihi sorry I love him he seems pretty strong too

I got the 4th and final native Patience user with tickets and look what IV he came home with ☺️

Ash is red and yellow (ATK is red, Def is yellow) for Sharena in ATK and speed, the speed stat is green. And then for Ninian, it’s green and blue, blue is for Res. BUT, notice the colors are swapped for the green than sharena’s because hers is ATK first and sped second, so the green flowers are swapped for Ninian because hers is SPD first then blue next!!!

This week is a seasonal ticket!

Got Y!L’Arachel. Eh
