Heardy's Bearing & TT reward review

OMG this seal is insane. While countering Vantage and probably even Desperation it opens up new ways of defeating strong enemies as the first unit with range advantage lowers hp and 2nd one finishes it.
wondering why Q&A isn't already full of posts of the 2 new seals (therefore Clive seems meh - just a free Hit&Run fodder)

Seal description : It counters Vantage and Desperation for you. It counters Vantage and Desperation for the opponent when your HP are at 100%.

It's not going to be a seal that every hero can use, as many units need Desperation or Vantage themselves and when they need to counter those skills from the ennemy, it's because they haven't 100% hp anymore.

I keep it in mind for incoming optimization tho.

Have fun in the new tourment ! Looks way cooler than previous ones ! (Although the first one was terrible, the difficulty made it a bit epic for F2P xD)

The first one is still my favourite tempest trial...there's no challenge anymore when Delthea can solo the entire trial except for that Sonya Boss...
Besides I am still disappointed they just put random units as the Boss now. Veronica was special because we don't have her and Celica and Sonya are no equal exchange.
I do hope they will bring Infernal tempest trials, or at least some other hardcore mode you have to actually work towards beating, in the future.

Agreed, it's actually quite bad unless you have it placed on some clean up units instead like slow burst mages running breaker skills instead of desperation like Sanaki or Julia since it locks yourself out regardless of health value.

Attack Ploy is the much more desirable seal in truth because the full skill is still a 5-star exlusive (none of the units from that baner even went down a rating i believe which is lame) and there are plenty of heroes that will be able to effectively use it to become more useful. Eliwood, Caeda, Lloyd, Clair and so on are units with lower defense that could use the easy debuff to potential bait targets and so on.

Breath of Life is just an extra 300 feathers for most of us sadly and it was the duplicate seal from the last trials too which is a bit disappointing. One of the older seals that haven't been released a second time instead (like +1 attack/speed) would have been better for newer players.

I get your point. Atk ploy seal is very nice for sure. Maybe I was just hyped by the other seal as it fits my gameplay and I ran into situations where enemy's vantage (arena) messed things up where I would have had a full health unit which is not relying on Desperation ;)

Exactly, I think it's a very potent seal. By no means useless. It's just a very restricted access to his full potential. Not many units will feed the need for it but the ones who do, will jump on the top of their tier (is there any S-tier than can use it, let's find out !)

I hope not many units are gonna use this in arena because I just got a +spd Tharja and a neutral Mae (my favorite character ever, too bad her art is so bad in heroes though) and I was planning on building them with blade tomes and desperation and make them fight alongside with m'y Nino and Eirika hahahaha... :')

Report

I do like Mae's art. I like a lot less Hector and Raven 's arts while they are 2 of my favorite units... real shame (for the fans).

Zephiel and Fir really have nice arts too, Zephiel even have 2 different drawings for his Attack and Special Attack (so far I noticed that Rebecca has 2 as well but it's less flashy).

But Fir and Rebecca aren't too popular in FEH so... another shame (for the Illustrators who made it).

I think the seal will work well with FCorrin, Saizo, Summer Frederick and similar tactics that had a hard time existing because Bonfire Vantage is mad OP.
