New banner is looking very much like Linde/Camilla:

https://i.redd.it/cf7u6i5wdn811.jpg
---

The woman on the right looks too skinny to be Camilla (both the arm and the torso) unless there's been a significant artstyle shift or something about the silhouette is really throwing me (both possible).
---

my first instinct was "Camilla, but skinnier so maybe not" and then i saw this

https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/8wyvyz/just_tried_outlining_the_unit_on_the_right_side/

still not entirely convinced but it seems plausible at least
---

also VG results: was overall 650th-ish when the last hour started, but lost top 1k to Lyon people (wasn't even all that close in the end, around 1500th). no victory feathers ever.
2500 for top 1k Marth round 1
2500 for top 1k Sigurd round 2
3100 for top 5k Hardin round 3
2600 for top 5k overall
10.7k total feathers, which i guess is not bad for never picking the winner
---

Oops, looks like the old topic closed while I was away!

Round 1

2500 + 500

Round 2

2100 + 500

Final Round

2600 + 2300 + 500

11k feathers, very nice! I'm a little under 50k away to the big 200k.
---

Why is the left one definitely Linde? How can people tell on these things? >_>

Sometimes I love Reddit

What if Niles is on the banner as a cross-dresser? Does he count?

This is acceptable.

Niles doesn't even crossdress.

Forrest would be an A+ summer unit though.

New summer characters

There's exactly 1.

Tiki's art is really bad. Everyone else looks good.

Stats have been datamined.

turns out i actually dont care about this game any longer and if you do then good job to you caring about these boring events
---

Sorry to hear that gravy! Yeah the game is mostly about pulling summer units atm(Which I so don't have the orbs for) but I imagine this is bait for CYL 2. Hopefully they have something coming around the corner.

Also did Linde... even change her outfit? It seems like all she did was put on a starfish barrette. Dagger Horse is interesting at least.

Not sure what to make of Tiki.
---

Oh and since I have two of them....

Reese's Tome is basically Legendary Rauorowl.
Refine is a Speed/Res ploy (-4)

Draconic Poleax is a Legendary Emerald Axe
Refine is built in Res Tactic
---

Takumi: Prince at Play, Camilla: Tropical Beauty

god, fuck off IntSys
---

They wouldn't keep whoring out Fates/Awakening if people didn't keep shelling out for them
---

Charlotte not on the banner, so I sleep.

And since I have the last one.

Dauntless Lance adds... Armor effectiveness on top of the -1CD, and then its refine adds Spd/Def stance 2.
---

I think it's safe to say Nephenee wins this round. I thought Titania would get effective against cavalry with hers. Kinda underwhelming, but opens the door for some nice mixed team builds

I can't get mad at people for buying what they want but I can absolutely get mad at a company for selling out, so *shrug*

I'm also just being dramatic, ignore me
---

has anyone beaten jet-black march yet
---

I don't mind banner being easy skip I'm drawing enough on other banners
---

finally my Camilla Emblem team will be complete and I can actually play the game
---

New TT rewards include Masked Marth and Flashing Blade Seal. Wish the Flashing Blade Seal had come out before I fed my spare Mia to Lon'qu, but it is what it is.
---

I'm scratching my head at the salt for Awakening/Fates continuing to get more alts. This is selling out as much as Smash is for having more characters from Mario than other series. I agree that it was a bit much when they were the only games getting alts but we've long since moved past that. Having four out of the eight summer characters is right in line with the results from CYL for the relative pull of those two games.

I like Camilla, I can always use more flying mages (best unit type in the game IMO), and I badly need a third Hone Fliers, so my way is extremely clear this time. Interesting how giving her an innate Hone Fliers soft-discourages using a bladetome on her. Don't care about SD characters. Takumi... maybe. Colourless is the obvious backup choice anyway.

Really psyched about Titania's weapon upgrade. I was already running her with an Emerald Axe so this is gonna be a free +4 atk, +5 HP, and a further stat boost (not sure which I'll choose). Should really help her green and colourless matchups. Innate Res Ploy may be one of the least tempting +Eff refines I've ever seen (even if you want to Ploy with her, you're better off refining her weapon for Res and stuffing a ploy in another slot), but that's not a major loss.

i mean people get pretty fuckin salty about alts in smash too, just sayin'
---

My gut says that Nephenee's weapon should be refined with just flat speed instead of the spd/def stance. I feel like there are enough times you want to initiate and double more easily there and that she's tanky enough with her base def. But I dunno. I'll have to think about it a bit.
---

Man, Tiki is basically Legendary Robin but better. Her stats are essentially the same but with trainee boost padding. The other units powercreeping ones from a year ago is one thing, but F!Grima is only a few months old and is supposed to be a legendary unit to boot!

It's also possible we get one or two more summer banners since they started the second one a little over two weeks earlier than last year. So that 4 out of 8 could turn into a 4 out of 12 or 4 out of 16 with 6 to 8 games represented overall.

I just figured it out. These have been challenging. I've only gotten that one and the first one so far. Trying to work on the escape route one next.
---

Yeah people do get salty over the Smash roster too so I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am disappointed. <_<

Whoops, looks like I'd misread and it's Res Tactic instead. Well that's better though since I more or less exclusively run mine on cavalry teams, still isn't actually of any interest to me.
---

Thoughts dump:

We are getting half the amount of male characters on Summer banners compared to last year.... the waifu pandering is real. Now we are just missing colorless Camilla. I don't expect anymore Summer banners this year

I was hoping I could skip this banner, but Tiki is looking really good, her awful voice aside

Oh, IS, you damn trolls. Giving Titania a Poleaxe but it not being SE against cavalry. Guess I can send my spares home

Nice they are being so generous with these new maps. I'll take feathers and orbs any day!

The real thing to rage about here. Not waifu pandering or Fates/Awakening saturation. This is the real problem.
---

Oh yea, forgot... MM as a TT reward again??? Why is she the only one that keeps coming back out of the group??? This is absolutely aggravating and nonsensical

Also, when does Twitter usually update with the new arena bonus units? I think it'd be nice if one of us posts it here every week for everyone to see, and we can take turns doing it so no one feels he has to do it all the time
---

As someone who +4'd Masked Marth, I'll take more any day.
---

... how? Can't we only +2 her currently? Which ones did I miss?
---

There were two TT's with her as rewards, IIRC. Don't remember where the 5th one came from.
---

there have been 3 TTs with her as rewards. you can +5 her right now, and will be able to +7 her after the next one.
---

Oh

I think I took a small break in this game and missed one of the TTs entirely so that would explain two copies.

I think there have only been two and there was a fifth copy given as a quest or paid orb bonus or something though. I definitely feel like there were an odd number of Marths given out.
---

Hm no there have definitely been 3.

https://feheroes.gamepedia.com/Tempest_Trials

I skipped the TTs from Tobin to Marth 2.

Still not sure why I have 3 Marths though with 2 of them being Gold.
---

I really wish there was a way to get TT rewards you missed out on. I mean, not like I really care whether I have Tobin and Clive, but it's the principle of the thing.
---

I wish you could just pick which TT hero you want to go for. If I could play for Joshua and Marisa every time I'd have units I like +10'd instead of a bunch of TT Jobber characters I don't want.

Or GHB characters I'd like to get Valter up beyond +4 and maybe +10 Robin F at some point too.
---

Oh, yep. I have a 6th one at level 13, so I keep passing right by her. I probably sent one of my first ones home because I figured I wouldn't ever make her a unit. Welp.
---

if you have a 6th one, then you haven't sent any home, because that's all of them.
---

I'd definitely love to be able to swap GHB an TT units for different ones. But that will never happen.

Here's the next arena rotation. I'm stuck without a 5* unit unless I pull a summer unit.

---

i've got Leif and Anna, not the most appealing choices. Leif has no SI, but naturally comes with everything except an assist and has higher BST. Anna's basically just a healer after giving her HP+5 and reciprocal aid. not sure which would be better.

Thanks, Yankees. Never upgraded Anna, huh? I dont regret doing it since shes one of the few fast axe users and youll always need her for quests. Lyon is also worth upgrading if you need a red raven mage since he has good bulk
