Anyone else or just me?

And Happy Mother's Day!

I got two: Bridal Cecilia and Duo!Nina.

• Bridal Cecilia is because...why? Sue should've been the demote for that banner, and the fact that she (Cecilia) is a marriage option for Roy really gives off an uncomfortable vibe. I feel like Sue's reasoning in the respective Paralogue was a shoehorned excuse.
• Duo!Nina, or rather, that entire Thief banner, stems off from wasted potential. We could've gotten a Mattew+Leila duo...but alas Dx! At least Thief!Leila's art is really pretty.

It's kinda nuts how much has changed between now and when I first invested in Tibarn. ^(The OG one, I never did a Unit Showcase here for Captain Tibby.)

I've waited for Alfador-knows-how-long for an Arcane Flier Beast weapon. When I found out we're getting one (got pinged once on Discord and tagged twice on Bluesky lol), and the holder is...

ANOTHER TIBARN??

That's like, a double win for me!! I flipped my shiz for nearly thirty minutes, mind you!(also for a funny bit: I got jumpscared by F!Tibarn's crit art xD)

BUT ENOUGH TALK!

= OG Tibarn: The Swooping Nuke =

• Weapon: Arcane Fury Bite (+Spd Refine): I will be brutally honest, my main gripe with Hawk King Claw's refine is that there was no built-in Slaying...and that it's outdated now :( The SPD refine's there because of Dark Beast Agility's SPD check!
• Assist: Reposition: The Vlassic-Classic. Was thinking of replacing it with Repo Gait, but Bestial Assault takes care of the Canto part.
• Special: Sturdy Laguz (alt: Galeforce Mist): To help with nuking and all that fancy jazz. Engaged with E!Marth to speed up the CD.
• A Skill: A/D Excel (alt: A/S Fortune): TBH, both Excel and Fortune are great and I switch between them from time to time. I like using Fortune for the healing and Excel for the added boosts!
• B Skill: Bestial Assault: Possibly the best B-slot. Canto and DR piercing go brrrrr-
• C Skill: Dark Beast Agility: A needed upgrade compared to Beast Threaten. Sure, an attack boost and CD acceleration is nice, but flat DR and a damage boost? Sign me up!
• Sacred Seal: Squad Ace CW: Needed equilibrium between Tibarn's ATK and SPD, also more SPD = more stonks from DBA
• Echo: Crux Echo: Debuffs are nice. =3= (also I don't have Attuned!Eliwood for Echo Momentum so this will do for now)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

= Captain Tibarn: Toxic Mist. Toxic Mist EVERYWHERE!! =

• Weapon: Sky Pirate Claw (w/ refine!): Still a pretty solid weapon due to inflicting the Frozen (which is still kinda uncommon IMO) and Exposure debuffs.
• Assist: Reposition: Same as OG!Tibby!
• Special: Galeforce Mist: I know E!Celica's effect isn't good nowadays, but it's my go-to for when I want to clear stages quickly. The DR also helps, since Captain Tibby not having this is kinda no bueno.
• A Skill: A/D Fortune: Mostly for the healing bit. I want my boi to survive, dangit!
• B Skill: Bestial Assault: Same reasons with OG!Tibby!
• C Skill: Deadly Miasma: Listen, DR in this age and day is annoying as heck. Which is why I have this as well as Savage Blow to nab easier KOs. It's helped a lot, actually!
• Sacred Seal: Savage Blow 3: Practically goes hand-in-hand with DM.
• Echo: Death Blow Echo: Placeholder for now until I have Echo Momentum fodder.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...WHEW that's a lot to put out! Overall I'm really glad that I'm able to update OG!Tibarn into a better nuke. Meta be damned, I'm still going with my Hawksband!!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go look for a Snickers bar for Fallen!Tibarn...maybe I need to get a case worth for him, Ivy, Bylad, and Sar--I mean, Canis.

^(All that's left now is for Tibarn to get a green alt and Tibarn Emblem will be a reality!!)

SORRY I'm just really excited for this banner, I really, really, REEEEEEAAALLLLY LOVE Tibby...

Happy summoning and may you not suffer from internal monologues and stiff limbs!

It was actually a cute theme, I want it to come back. :(

^(Merric is like that because he's lowkey the worst one there-)
