So... why didn't they?

Just a thought but why didn't IS take this opportunity to finally give us access to Askr trio merge copies? It's not like they have IVs so it just kinda makes too much sense to me.

They technically weren't in the same category. Perhaps they only want there to be one of each?

I mean i get that part but as is they are fairly useless even with their refines so why not at least give us some merges to help compensate. Plus they already broke the exclusivity of them when they introduced the Easter versions so i really don't see what the harm would be here.

Report

Far from useless (except Anna), they both have good niches that let them destroy the enemy if you set them up right. +10 would make them better, but I think the reason would be more for fandom of the character rather than making them good

Report

Even Anna is not too bad with flashing blade + blue flame

I think the reason people still say they're useless is because they've done it for so long and so many people are still in that boat that they feel like they can get away with ignoring the facts.

Damn, this stupid Askr trio units are so useless...
This is a tier 21 match btw, and that's a +10 Hardin.
I had a lot of interesting fights that week, including ORKO a Effie who was standing on a defense tile :)

Because we're eventually gonna ascend them into better versions, like Armored Alfonse, Flying Anna, and Cavalry Sharena.

Or... That's what my head canon tells me.

I think it might have to do with them being more story centered than the rest of the heroes. They're always gonna be original copies of units, unlike the units you summon or receive. Adding more copies of them would kinda devaluate just how important those 3 are (excluding alts).

Report

I always figured alts and other copies of heroes are from different realms but these 3 are unique in that their base forms don't come from different realms. I don't know if I'm explaining it right but that's what I figure.

Report

Not saying this is the actual reason, but those are the three units (other than the summoner) who it wouldn't make any story sense to be able to summon exact copies of.

Then again, if you can summon a seemingly exact copy of other characters that are native to that world, that reason kinda got blown out of the water, so ... *shrug*

Some possibility, maybe a bit narrow, that this comes with Book III. I actually wonder a bit if the Sharena we saw in that disturbing picture was from another world just like the Veronicas and Lokis we have been summoning

Report

IMO they didn't cause it'd make more sense to allow the Askr Trio to obtain merges from a way other than combining multiple copies of the same unit. Maybe a plot-related power increase, like lord promotion in FE

Report

So everyone forgot about Combat Manuals :( We can merge them if I get Askr Manuals so they will only stay one unit.

Report

Combat Manuals are for skills only, to add an "Askr Manual" would be most likely a rewrite of an entire section of the code in the game. So, no, probably not gonna happen.
