Your hopes for the next Halloween banner?

What are your hopes thematically and maybe even character-wise for the next Halloween banner?
We've had Frankenstein's monster type (Jakob) a Nekomata (Sakura), a Necromancer/Vampire? (Henry) and a Witch (Nowi...ugh).

For the next one, I'd like a dragon dressed as a werewolf, which could be someone like Bantu or Nils. Then maybe an oni-type guy, with the typical japanese demon mask.,,it would be cool on a samurai character (but I don't really want another Ryoma alt). For females, I have no idea for female themes or characters...I just hope that it won't be a typical fan-bait.

Eldigan the headless knight
Deirdre the nature spirit

stuff like that

Headless knight would be cool...especially seeing Eldigan carrying his severed around or something like that. It would be even more insane and bizzare if the severed head was a throwing weapon. The devs probably won't put that much effort into this.

Yeah, if they do it, it'll likely be with a ghostlike or pumpkin head on his shoulders.
Because the previous helloween characters weren't transformed into monsters, but pretending to be ones.

But I'd like for FE4 characters to play celtic/irish folklore characters, since a lot of FE4 has refrences to it. (loads of names, weapons, the side thing with Lex and a axe)

A complete thematic focus like that would be nice and it wouldn't even be a rare thing when we had things like a Hoshidan festival or a summer vacation for Nohrians. And yeah, almost every FE game borrows a lot from mythology or folklore. Even FEH is extremely obvious with its Norse inspirations.

Ike and Soren go trick-or-treating

I don't care about new,I Want H!Nowi,That's all

Halloween Tiki

We've had enough Tikis for now I think.

There are never enough Tikis

I don't think I'd want a werewolf Nils because I'm trying to save orbs

Yeah, his inclusion would be quite dangerous, because I have been waiting for him far too long. Too bad that the only blazing blade characters that seem to get some attention are Lyn and Hector.

I just hope he's the demote on whatever banner he gets on. Don't even care if he isn't the new OP unit. We deserve to merge him for waiting this long

To be fair, heroes has been quite generous to the Black Fang part.
And at least Eliwood and Ninian have alts.

You're not wrong there. It's just that everything from Blazing blade is completely overshadowed by Hector and Lyn, because they were always the highlight of every banner that included them. On the other hand tho, I understand why the devs are putting so much focus on those two. They got to the highest places in the CYL votings, which gives a clear indication, that whenever one of them appears, the banner will be a success for them in terms of income.

I would love to see a Risen Chrom, similar to the one featured in his Cipher (Fire Emblem trading card game) artwork.

Chrom may have a lot of alts in Heroes, but I don't think most people would mind if his artwork were as sick as this.

Otherwise, a Wyrs Halloween alt in a similar style to the one featured on his card would be great.

That art is insanely good. I especially appreciate the trademark Lelouch eye-covering hand gesture. I also wish we had custom backgrounds for some heroes...it adds so much to the overall quality of the artwork.

My god that artwork is great.

You know, they could do a banner based on differend monsters in FE games, so..
A Risen character from awakening
A Faceless from Fates
Any monster from Echoes
Any monster from Sacred Stones

To follow up on this idea:

As Risen, it's hard to think of a fitting unit (Chrom's got too many alts), but maybe Vaike could be introduced as risen, like Charlotte did. Failing that, a Risen Owain would be fun too.
Maybe as an Axe unit. pale skin, risen mask as hat ect.

Faceless, probably an armored unit with loads of chains. Unmasked in the idle, but masked in the fighting art.
Very blunt looking sword.
Probably Benny or Effie

For Echoes, Lukas. Gargoyle.
Just imagine a very deadpan Lukas with grey skin, armor and wings, being a flying spear fighter.

Lastly Sacred stones..
Kinda hard because most mosters are either not human like, or very dead human-ish.
But I have an idea
Gorgon Lute, with a tome. Snake ornaments in the hair and a robe that looks like snake skin (so no full snake lower body)

How that?

That sounds like a really cool idea, and I would like to see it happen someday. (But knowing IS, it'd probably just dress up Camilla in some sort of sexy vampire outfit and call it a day. :/)

I'd like to see Setsuna get an alt and as she has official artwork of her as a mummy, we're half way there. She could be a dagger unit as her reclass option in Fate was ninja with an ornate Egyptian-esque dagger. Pair her with Halloween Orochi as a tome wielding Pharaoh just so she can be in the game, add another 2 characters not from Fates and Awakening and I'll be happy.

Is that really Setsuna? 👀🤔

From the wiki it's 'CG artwork of Setsuna in the Nohrian Festival of Bonds DLC episode.' She makes for a damn sexy mummy, better than last years 'sexy' character which was Nowi in her skimpy witch costume. I'd hoped Orochi would be the sexy witch, it would fit her well.

I kinda don't like that outfit
It's kinda all over the place.

Part mummy, part witch, batwing head accessory and pumpkins.

Though I agree that witch Nowi is kinda ehh

They'd hopefully streamline to just a mummy outfit, so long as she keeps the heels and asymmetrical suspender I'm sold.

H!Nowi's a 'hide your phone on the train' character, I like her but she really didn't need a smaller top than her normal one.

Lemme get uhhhh...

Anna alt. 👀

I don't even care what she is, as long as she gets an alt. 😤

She really needs one, how about Anna as Death, collecting fares for travel to the land of the dead. Armed with a scythe which could be classed as a lance, it's long with a blade on the end so close enough.

You can also have the scythe count as tome or staff, opening the gates of hell.

That could be fun, the effect could be her raising the scythe and a portal of hellfire appearing below the target with souls flying out. Come on H!Anna.

VAMPIRE MINERVA VAMPIRE MINERVA VAMPIRE MINERVA

Peanut Butter Eirika, Jelly Ephraim, Salt Innes and Pepper Tana

A Minerva alt would be good. How about a flying sword unit with unique version of Sol or something to represent her feasting on her enemies.

PLEASE, THESE GIRLS ARE MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS FROM ALL FE!

Fae in a duck or chicken suit... or cowboy Shigure/Chrom/Azama/ anyone voiced by Matt Mercer... Perhaps Yuuki-Onna Fjorm or Nini ( Florina?)

I have the strong and weird feeling that we´re getting mage flier setsuna

I'd like to see something like the Fallen Heroes banner, but as Fallen versions of Heroes, just not based on an already existing version of them, kind of like an alternate universe deal.
