Legend's Stream Thoughts (w/ Zylo)

That Lucina looks absolutely amazing.

That Lyn looks absolutely amazing.

That Roy looks pretty good.

That Ike looks really interesting depending on his stats.

Okay, so basically Brave Lyn is a counter to magic units that have buffs on them. Blade tome buffs don't take effect whenever they fight against her, and her unique B skill let's her not be countered by axe, lance and sword distant counter users.

If that Ike has low speed then his axe would benefit him even more. He too, has a skill that counters buffs but only on Horse and Flier emblem.

He might be an amazing Distant Counter user that can deal with blue's in general, depending on his stats. I wonder if it would be best to synergize his axe with one of the shield specials to have him be better protected on non-consecutive attacks. His axe reduces consecutive attack damage by 80% after all, what if the first attack was also reduced, I wonder? Probably best to just run Aether anyway.

Edit: Decided to not fangirl about Greil-Ike (Axe Ike).

This banner looks insane. Cavalry counter, new insane weapons and skills, and of course, the best type of fan-service (not just people in swim suits haha).

I think Lyn is pretty damn strong, regardless of what her attack stat is. She has so much utility right now, along with Ike who can basically act as a physical version if Lyn. I think the defensive special mixed with Shield Pulse is going to make Ike an insane tank with nice attack as well (props to you for thinking of that).

With absolutely no bias at all, I think Brave Lucina is the single best hero in this entire game with absolutely no competition.

Jokes aside though :P
I think her weapon and skills are quite nice, run her with Delthea and you've got two very strong offensive units alongside two blues that can both handle themselves in a fight.

Roy's weapon looks pretty broken with in built Heavy Blade and +3 attack on top of that. But what I'm worried about are their stats; glass cannon buffer, low attack archer, infantry Hector (Ike's looking strong though), and average cavalier.

But seriously, Ike, Delthea, and Shield Pulse Brave Ike. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but damn, that's a hellava team.

It's all because of how scarce strong green units are! Lyn has pretty nice attack if these stats are to be believed (and neutral). 33 Attack is only 2 lower than Bridelia after all.

Lucina doesn't seem bad at all but I'm not as interested in blues right now, same goes for Roy but Roy has seriously huge potential because of cavalry buffs.

Lyn is exciting, period, because of her possible use and how well her stats seem to work with it all (low defense but doesn't get countered by melee distant counter units that would otherwise one-shot her.

I'm way over the moon for Brave Ike though... REALLY hoping his resistance is at least average/above average and that his speed is as low as possible.

Yeah, Ike and Lyn are looking busted. I didn't notice she had such high attack either, i assumed she'd be on par with her normal version.

I think I'm in the same boat as you with blues and with Roy, I have a million reds while every blue I have is really good. If it wasn't for the fact that I want Lucina, I would probably just spam Green and Colourless in hope for dupes.

Poor Roy though, I hope this one can perhaps find a way to make me interested in him lol.
