Archanea is next in line for the next hall of forms lineup. So as usual, who do you hope shows up? And who do you personally want to see show up?

Archanea is in a weird spot, since most of its seasonals are just random demotes (latest hot spring banner is far to recent to consider). And besides that, the last time it got an actual 5 star seasonal was jehanna Malice at the start of book 9.

So my personal hopes for the lineup:

• Jehanna Malice
• Anniversary Marth
• Mythic Gotoh
• Ancient Medeus

Malice has actually gotten better over time, since there are just far more tools for damage reflect weapons to take advantage of these days, with skills like patience, and Roy ring to give them that miracle + reflex combo for free

Anniversary Marth I feel is the perfect option for a premium HoF slot, since he's definitely old enough as a unit, and archanea doesn't have to many super premium units they can use to fill these slots. On top of his time in the meta being over, and replaced with the more recent hot spring alt.

Mythic Gotoh has an october rerun, so he feels likely

Ancient Medeus would be fantastic since he's already such a great arena unit, and having him show up here for a premium kit would be quite useful.

Get anything good? Or were they all worthless trash?

For me only 4/15 seasonal tickets were good. With 2 of them being some my actively wanted characters. The 4 good ones I got were:

• Khadein Linde (harmonic unit, and still has niche utility)
• Scion Larcei (not an impossibly long wait for her refine, 9 months minimum and should be roughly next summer)
• Flame tribe Lyn
• Pirate Surtr

The other 11 seasonal tickets were trash, or unremarkable to the point they aren't worth mentioning.

Arena tickets on the other hand... Screwed me over hard. Legit the only good thing was a brave Corrin merge

Tiki, Chrom, Camilla, Soren, Veronica, and Hector are the only emblems left. And soon we'll exhaust even those.

So what do you think is going to happen after those 6 eventually get added?

Do you think they'll just discontinue the unit type and make up some new way to re-sell the exact same characters again

Or just start making up brand new emblems for other lords who don't have one like Alm, Seliph, and Azura, possibly splitting Ephraim, Dimitri, and Claude into their own?

Rennac has always been someone I wanted to build, since he was always one of my favorites from sacred stones. Now with his refine being out, and it being a surprisingly good one. Thought i'd finally get around to doing so. Canto 2, and ability to refresh an ally after his combat or reposition is just such a fun refine.

If he ended up getting something mediocre, I would have honestly never thought of building him.

This entire kit was a single wave of inheritance off my fodder bank attuned Alm. And with all of them being very readily available bridge fodder, its super convenient and easy for me to build up any dagger or bow unit for 0 effort outside of pulling for an extra Alm each time.

Also conveniently getting a +1 merge (and speed boon copy) off one of my weekly revival free summons just now helped a ton in making me want to do this. Its just a sort of self imposed rule, if i'm going to be seriously building up someone in the 4 star special pool, I typically like having that +1 merge. Since bane removal makes a huge difference for super old units like this.

Not a fan of online battles with randoms others, or ranked play in general. And just installed and setup this game strictly for friend battling. But with having to unlock pokemon, mega stones, held items, and all that stuff.

Does this mean the game is funneling me into random battles? Or can I rely strictly on transfers from other games to build my team?

They seriously need a permanent solution to the mess that is remix banners and older legendary reruns.

Guinivere being the absolute newest remix, and instantly getting kicked out of the game for who knows how long is criminal. And this isn't even the first time!

And just shoving more on the monthly rotation banners isn't going to solve it, since we are already reaching a point for full year rerun times for them! Just look at the current Fjorm / Hrid / Gunnthra banner. They rerun august 2027!

They need to understand, some units should just be considered to old to remain in the summon pool at all, and retire them completely. Then just make them available in some other form.

My solution: Everyone currently on the monthly rotation banners, the really ancient book 2 and 3 legendaries. GONE! Cut them entirely, put them somewhere else outside of the summon pool.

Replace them with the somewhat outdated, but still salvageable ones from the book 4-5 range. Ones that are to old to be worth pulling for on the current remix banners. But can still have merrit for building in terms of favoritism. This makes the actual remix banners people pull on, with more modern remixed legendaries have proper wait times again because the spots aren't being clogged by literal trash

Same for the weekly revival banners, and demotes.

RETIRE THOSE WHO ARE TO OLD. Demotes from before book 5, and 4 star special pool units from before book 4.

The remix banner lineups are literally collapsing under their own weight due to the amount of units they have to fit a rerun on!

The game is great, and is the only nintendo spinoff Warriors title to not get some form of post launch support / dlc content. When there was plenty of room to do so. Extra story bits, more characters, re-add classes from 3 Houses. All could have been done to make the game so much better.

Alot of npc characters they could have added like Hanneman, Alois, Judith, and Gilbert to name a few for example.

And even alot of missing classes from 3 Houses that could have been added in. Hero, valkyrie, dark flyer, alternate weapon type movesets for existing classes like paladin, wyvern rider, and pegasus knight.

Rhea basically does nothing at all in this game as well. She kinda just vanishes from relavence entirely from the start of the game, all the way until the end in certain routes where shes the final boss.

What really bothers me, is a proper church route would have worked quite well for this game. Because their presence is is basically nothing. So there would be alot of room to throw in an extra story with them like silver snow was in 3 Houses.

The church and the slytherin rejects have no screen time. So a 4th story that focuses completely on those 2 would have been great. Something like they plan a sneak attack on Rhea in retaliation for being exposed, The knights counter attack, and Shez gets caught up in it to fight them off. Rhea appreciates the help and offers to make Shez an official knight.

I really like the game, but its lack of post launch support really did hurt. Since the original FE Warriors, Hyrule Warriors, and even age of calamity all got excelent post launch dlc.

(Age of Imprisonment I know nothing about, haven't played it yet. But will once I get my switch 2 in the next few weeks)

But for a twist, i'm going to attempt a challenge of not using any of the student characters.

This run will be 100% locked to the church, and ashen wolves characters. I'm only considering ashen wolves so its not a Byleth solo until chapter 5 when catherine, shamir, and cyril become available.

But some of the church roster i'm unfamilar with what their best class would be. So thought i'd ask about them.

Specifically Alois, and Manuela. But will take advice for any of the others while i'm at it.

Alois I imagine is pretty straightforward, and just rush him into warmaster asap. But Manuela i'm completely stumped on. I assume trickster would work due to her sword and faith proficiency. But never really bothered look into anything shes good at.

I just know the church characters for the most part are heavily inferior to the actual students due to some of them joining really late, or just not being good long term like Catherine and Shamir who from my experience fall off pretty hard at time skip.

Probably going to be silver snow route, since I won't have to worry about lugging one of the 3 main lords around then. And can just focus on byleth.

Planning to setup a fodder bank for cavalry units using one of them, just still trying to decide which one would be better.

So In terms of their echo skills, base kits, and which one is the better unit themselves. Who would be the better fodder bank unit to setup?

My FE7 roster is on the weaker side, so Eliwood would be more beneficial for limiteds. But that isn't going to be a deal breaker if Lachesis is far better overall as a unit.

I know its not to far down the line, and is a lineup i'm absolutely going to be wanting a legendary Robin forma off of.

But need to know a rough estimate of how far off it is, since i'm also considering brave F:Robin off this current lineup, but only have 1 soul on hand until the shop reset in I think october or november
