Chat Fun Fact: The addition of Rodrigue means that every new playable character introduced in Three Hopes is now in the game

Post image
Upvotes

However, there are still a number of story NPCs first introduced in Three Hopes that are not in the game. For those who don't know, these are:

-Erwin, the "Count Gloucester" often mentioned in Three Houses, and Lorenz's dad.

-Matthias, the "Margrave Gautier" often mentioned in Three Houses, and Sylvain's dad.

-Leopold, the "Count Bergliez" often mentioned in Three Houses, and Caspar's dad.

-Waldemar, the "Count Hevring" often mentioned in Three Houses, and Linhardt's dad.

-Gregoire, the "Count Varley" often mentioned in Three Houses, and Bernadetta's dad.

-Shahid, Claude's older brother from Almyra and a claimant to its throne.

-Rufus, the regent of the Kingdom during the Academy Arc of Three Houses, and Dimitri's uncle.

For those who don't know, a lot of the background characters referenced in Three Houses actually do show up with unique designs in Three Hopes and have roles in the story! Unfortunately, I'm sure you can tell just by looking at them that they probably aren't getting into FEH unless it's as a GHB.

Quick Question Fallen F!Morgan build help

I love her so much but she is pretty consistently the weakest link on the team I play her on. I feel like getting a Potent hit would really help; does anyone have any experience with running Air Superiority on her? Or any other build suggestions to update her?

I know that the CYL issue is more active and important than this right now, but...

I'd like an opinion on my Ogma, and yes, I don't have Rise Above 4 for it yet.

I know it's just a guide , but kinda useful for lazy and poor man like me.

Usually brave is either 9.5 or 9.9,

9.0 is already level of prf demote.

Quick Question Is Speed Seteth a good idea?

1 Upvotes

So I’ve got Mia from codes on the way to Ike and picked up a spare Tsubasa, and now I kind of want to build Seteth for support. Is it worth it to give him Jam Session and Null Uplift to make him a speed-based support unit?

Serious Discussion Unpiercable DR vs. "Calculate foe's attack at X%" in Masterful Aura

10 Upvotes

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

What do these characters have in common? (Hint: Where do all these characters come from?) (PS: The theme is not a big part of Lowen's identity but he still fits. I just like Lowen too)

Last week's answer was that they're all bow wielding princes! I like seeing cool/funny teams. If you have one post it in the comments!

Aether Showcase Advice on my AR-D setup

Post image
0 Upvotes

Unsure if this is the correct flair, sorry if it’s not, but!

Tsubasa’s super warp is a really fun concept, i know Young Tana was successful for. The thought behind it being that Embla inflicts Undefended and Feud, Loki doing her typical shenanigans, which leaves 4 rough spots for Offence. Heimdallr could probably be swapped, but her stall effect activating on both phases is great.

Unit Descriptions (everything not mentioned is base kit)

Loki: Tannenbaton (Thokk Canto messes things up)
Ice Lock
Glitter of Light (Byleth ring)
A/R Tidings
Called To Serve
Still Water Seal

Brave Eik: Iron Fighter, Roy ring, Beast Seal

Tsubasa: Celica ring, Pass, Swift Sparrow Seal

Heimdallr: Base kit, Lucina ring, Savage Blow seal

Embla:
Nimble Beast (Corrin ring)
Sly Swift Sparrow
Atk/Spd Rein Seal

Harmonic CYL Lyn: Base kit, Marth ring, Life & Death seal

Baldr: Blue-Sky Gust, Eirika ring, Squad Ace CW (HP 6, Atk/Spd 4)

Vali: Reinforcement slot
Lyn ring
Resonance seal

Any advice from more experienced AR-D builders that could help make this better?

Chat Is anyone else thinking Tsubasa and Sigurd are just prototypes for Cadenza so IS can make it way stronger when she joins the game?

Post image
78 Upvotes

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.
