My final Garon guess before tomorrow

Stat wise, I imagine he'll have high Def and HP, great attack, abysmally low speed, and okay-to-good res. I guess his 5 star skill will be Vengeful Fighter, and 4 star skill (A complete shot in the dark) would be Warding or Fierce Stance? He'll have Bolverk with DC (boring but extremely good) and his special will be Dragon Fang.

All just a guess.

Woah woah woah, thatโ€™s way too good for the Obligatory Sucky Free Unit. Gotta make his stats terribly janky and not min maxed at all, gotta give him a garbage base kit (eg. Spd/Def 2 and Ward Armor) and a weapon with an effect that is way too niche

Focusing 100% on Arena limits your mindset, and then it gets to the point where next to nothing F2P is good enough for you, or even new really good units in general because they have "Low BST" or "Low Arena weight skills" or some other bullshit reasons to call them bad.

You can't seem to realize that Arena is not the only gamemode out there.

Report

Lowering your standards won't do you any good either. Having a powerful f2p unit from time to time won't be breaking the game, nor will it put a massive dent in IS' wallet. People will still roll for characters that fill a similar position.

Listen, man. pkslow...I get it- partially. There's a certain competitive value to Arena. But why do we pretend like it's basically the whole game? It's scoring system is janky and caters to an arbitary system that pretty much has you selling out to certain unit types. You can't even use the skills you want sometimes, because you basically need DC, Aether and double Rallies at higher levels. Doesn't that beat the whole purpose of strategy in the first place? You're basically wasting feathers and/or actual money to stay in a place where it doesn't even pay off all that much (feather-wise, I guess).

On the other hand, some of the most versatile and creative builds and plays can be seen in GHB/BHB clears, you can use pretty much any character you want in the other modes, etc.

Yeah, we're going to give him 27 spd, because that way he can't prevent any doubles, but is just enough spd for us to dump a ton of BST that can go somewhere else! How about a ton of HP because we can't have him having any decent res?

Report

So what you're saying is all free units are trash, let's just remove free units altogether! oh, and let's bump summoning up to ten orbs a pull, that way none of those people who use free units will ever soil the arena. Oh, and why keep up using inheritance skills? Let's just give all the upcoming, orb using units we have amazing base kits so you don't have to worry about anything except getting high points in the arena.

Damn, people are really excited for Garon, which i don't understand why.

Report

She's an amazing unit, but I legit don't understand what would enable her to be so popular. At best, we just feel sorry a young girl is getting killed. That's about all I see. Maybe I haven't been following enough reddit, Youtube or whatever people keep up to...

Report

There's more depth to her than just that. She isn't a typical evil antagonist but more like someone with underlying issues that aren't apparent yet.

I feel like people feel her popularity isn't deserved and dislike her for that. ๐Ÿ˜ค

Report

I've liked her since Day 1 as the sad princess I always knew, but not as a Lucina 2.0 that I have no idea how that following happened. I don't dislike her for it, I just...don't get it.

Report

Since this is my only FE game, I don't see every other character's popularity either, but I just roll with it.

Personally, I think people become more attached to the characters they've been most introduced to or spend the most time with. Outside of Veronica, I also like Sharena and Anna. Alfonse is a little serious and almost cliche but I like him as well.

Report

But Veronica is still not really that interesting, at least the original isn't in my opinion. I can understand not having any emotional connections to characters from the main series, but that doesn't really explain ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜บ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ข.

Report

She is interesting though. ๐Ÿค” Call it reaching, but I feel like she wants to be happy but she can't, maybe due to circumstances surrounding her kingdom, maybe she misses her brother, or maybe she's never really had a family that showed genuine love. She's a princess who's extremely sympathetic just for the fact that she just seems unhappy; which typically goes against the ideas of the typical princess which is wealthy, happy, and have everything. She's not an evil antagonist either. If she were an evil antagonist I wouldn't care about her, but I feel like those underlying issues are what make her complex. Almost like she'll most likely have a change of heart and help out Askran heroes.

Well, they haven't effed up free armor units yet.
Zephiel
Black Knight
Arden
LA Eliwood

Those are all solid to great units

But, to be fair, I don't think there's an unusable armor unit in the game.

Report

Arden is pretty ehhh for a free armored unit tbh. His unique B skill becomes negligible, and his res is so bad, his high hp means nothing if he comes in contact with any magic. One drop of magic, and it's like 9999999 dmg critical hit.

Report

For a FREE armored unit, Arden is excellent. His B skill is a cheap Bold Fighter, and he has the highest HP AND neutral def stat in the game (I think, I need to look that up).

What more do you want from Arden?

Report

LA Eliwood is also quite bad; Terrible speed and bad defense. Res is irrelevant All he has is HP and Atk. He would do much better to take a few points off Res and put it into Spd and Def.

Report

He has a pretty "balanced" statline for an Armored unit, so he can do any role and any role he will do, he will do great, not the best at it but great.
