Good thing I couldn't care less about CYL. Hope they have something other than CYL to stream though; it's simply unthinkable to talk about 4 units for a whopping 10 minutes. They'd better have some new updates in store. I'm not expecting update 1.7 but it will be nice if they can lay out their plan for September, a RD-themed banner for the 2nd half of Sep certainly won't hurt, right?

Wait there is no middle is there?

Dang, everyone was right about the Choose Your Legend banner coming in September. I really shouldn't have spent all my orbs chasing Ike during Hero Fest, but hopefully I'll be able to stock up enough again to snipe Lyn.
And hopefully Lyn is a bit more viable than her other 2 incarnations.

At 201 orbs right now. Can't wait to only pull Roy when I would rather have any of the others.
Saved up to 12 orbs (whelp) but I'll wait till I saved some and then I'll dive into CYL .. hopefully IS will be giving out some new stages to farm.
On other news, just used my 20k feathers on Valter. Damn he's a beast! Flyer Emblem with Palla, Cherche, Hinoka and Valter is nearly ready.

Hm, I have 24 orbs at the moment. I have a few from Chain Challenge I could get, but considering how hard they are and how many tries I will probably need, I doubt I would get much out of that.
Shouln't another chapter or paralogue come around soon? It's been a while since the last.

I'm at 113 Orbs.
I spent 100 Orbs on Tempest Trials in a failed attempt to get Celica. Ended up getting a +DEF/-SPD Tharja, which was disappointing. I'm using her primarily because of Arena Assault, but she will be immediately sacked when I pull a good Tharja or Katarina.
I've been saving ever since, and did nothing but free summons on subsequent banners.
Hope to get Heroes with good stats. The last good summon I had statwise was +SPD/-DEF Sonya.

Again, I really dislike IS's current pace of "one seasonal alt outfit banner and one proper banner with actual new characters per month". This is slowly becoming the new norm and suddenly we find the rate of them pushing out actual new characters cut in half.
I mean, I think I understand why they do this, and I might even be open to it if it helps the game maintain a healthy revenue stream. But that's not to say I like it; I absolutely don't.

Yeah.
I've said before I don't really like that there's so many limited banners either. We're basically at a stage where almost half the units added every month are limited. If they keep at it the games going to have a ridiculous amount of limited units.
A while back I guessed they might do CYL as the next tempest trial, and a story chapter could set that up. Could be a way for them to give out Bruno as a unit (seems too soon for Veronica still). But I actually hope they don't start doing TT for limited characters, it was bad enough to have 5*-only bonus units in the last one.
Wait, that was only last week? Feels like an eternity ago, but maybe that's because we actually get flooded with stuff for once.
Don't do this to me.
I need a few months off.

For Radiant Dawn they'll give a heron as a flying colorless dancer but the rest of the chars would be like Meg, Heather and Makarov

Only interested in Ike and Lyn. I have Lyn already but her current iteration is pitifully weak They better give her a 70 total for Attack and Speed. Ideally 33/37. Ike had better be swole Ike.
If these units are in goofy outfits I'm pretty comfortable in avoiding the banner

Yes. 4* + 8 will be equivalent to 5* + 3 both in terms of stats and arena score, assuming you have the same skills (implying your 4* + 8 is carrying a 5* weapon).
Having so many limited characters is annoying, but I also want to see a different Roy so I guess I'm okay with the CYL banner finally happening. Lyn and Ike could be a bonus.
If a RD banner happens after that, I wouldn't be surprised if it was focused on the Dawn Brigade, in other words characters I don't care enough about to want right away. So I guess that would work out pretty well.

I figure a Warriors banner would happen first. It's coming Sept. 28th in Japan.
Purely cosmetic iterations that have the same stats and skills but new art are the least likely option, and I'm not expecting them to stay within the same 'class' either - most other character variants have different weapons and/or movement types, so that's what I'm expecting them to continue. Going by their handling of other limited-time characters, I'm not sure about them being objective improvements either - Bride Cordelia and the only two mage fliers were limited, but the themed Xanders aren't comparable to the standard incarnation.
I'm more interested in what they're going to do to differentiate them visually - the Askr costumes that seem to be the most common predictions, existing ingame alternates (i.e. Blade Lord Lyn, Smash/Awakening Roy, Great Lord/Yukata Lucina, Lord Ike), 'alternate universe' interpretations (Daein Wyvern Rider Ike, Manakete Roy etc.) or something entirely different.
Of course they'll have different weapons, would be a silly banner if it was all swords. But who knows where they'll go from there. The Askr trio all have character-specific weapons so it stands to reason the CYL characters will too. I doubt they'll just give them Fensalir, Noatun and Folkvangr but it could happen.
Axe Ike seems a safe bet at least, and we haven't seen a built-in distant counter axe yet so that's an easy way to make everyone go broke. I don't think it's unlikely that someone will still be a sword user, and we already have two sword Lucinas, so 'better Lyn/Roy' is actually quite possible.
Didn't they say before somewhere that it'll be them wearing Askr gear?
Well, any Thracia banner, including the one from which I'm destined to pull nothing but trash, is still better than no Thracia banner at all. ╮(╯﹏╰）╭
Seriously though, the problem with Thracia is that it lacks good candidates for GHB; Saias or Galzus may be fine but who knows who they are. IS has literally made the only suitable GHB character in Thracia a pullable unit.lol
The reason I'm saying this is that Valter and the SS banner kinda set an example for how new game-themed banners roll out with their respective GHBs, and I think this will continue for a while. My money's on RD and Genealogy, both of which have some fantastic GHB choices, to arrive before Thracia.
I haven't seen any official statement about what the costumes will actually be - all of the Askr stuff seems to be fan speculation. Though I could just have missed the announcement, of course.
They could always tie in a character more associated with FE4 alongside it, owing to the overlap in the games' casts. Alternatively, possessed Mareeta might be an out-of-left-field choice.
I have the same one... sad story..
Inb4 the 3 Daein regalia (Tarvos, Caladbolg, and Lughnasadh) all have super duper OP perks.

I did it after 6 stamina potions. I took inspiration from the 4* stars playthrough of Ventus but with my own guys and Klein (who is -atk which made me replayed this chapter too many times to count). The sword knight was the worst.
Now I can start catching up the quests and the story content I have left for 2 months. Any tips for Chain Battle and Squad Assault ?
Also what's the next Grand Hero Battle
Even better! I'd be guaranteed to not want to spend orbs!
Welp.
They will be things that can mess up flying teams right as I finish building mine, just to taunt me.

a 5*+8 Cordelia is better than both
inb4 Caladbolg has built in 0 charge Miracle just to troll everyone who runs into it in arena
I'm subscribing to the theory that Xander will come around again when they start the Warriors advertising.
She is. Cool, guess I'll sacrifice my 2 5* Cordelias to my 4*+6 one.

Even I'm not willing to make that investment. Jesus...
