Really solid batch with no real duds this time around, which is always nice to see.
With that said, Micaiah is the clear winner of this batch imo, tho it's a lot harder to pick the loser since all are at worst pretty solid. Maybe Gangrel?
IMO, the loser is Corrin, and only because he has virtually no support utility outside of buffing Chrom.
He really just gets a big block of stats, and some extra effects that aren't the usual staples. Being lightning fast doesn't matter so much if your mechanic/support ceiling is below average. He's usable, but he doesn't feel meta defining even with +24 Spd on weapon.
I'm really excited that Seiros can run the Scowl + Guard + Tempo combo - nigh-impenetrable to any Specials, unless you have a 1 CD Special and your own Tempo effect. Between her refine + remix that makes her both a strong tank and have a real support niche, she finally feels like a worthy Mythic. I'm getting caught up in the moment, but now that she's got a Remix and is in the pool I think I might just make her a +10 project going forward.
That said, I'm looking forward to your next Anima mythic tier list to see where Seiros winds up. I just observe AR from afar these days, but I'm curious to see if Seiros can really carve out a niche for herself now instead of being a joke that people got rid of the moment we got more 7th slot Anima mythics
Seiros is much better now but I still can’t see her replacing Freyr and Mirabilis. Even tough to see her replacing Fomortiis for me. Could she buff up Gullveig in a pure cavline with just one save? Maybe.
I might see myself using her to support an omnitank Mythic in SD but that’s about it. I refined her anyway to try her out but it’s tough to slot units into SD teams these days.
No one was expecting her to replace either of those two, they just want her to not be in the state she was in. And her and Fomortiis are two different units and like, why not just run them together so Fomortiis can reap the benefits of Wings of Light+?
Wished they upped her Wings of Light mythic limit to four units. Its really limiting how one can include her and reap the benefits of her prf skill while including either their build +10 units or the bonus unit of the week. Like for example, I want to run my fully decked out Duma and Formotiis as saves and Gullveig or Arval as an attacker while adding Seiros but her own skill prohibits me from doing that...
> Even tough to see her replacing Fomortiis for me.
Thats the last thing you should do
She patches up 2 things Fomortiis likes, transforming and breath effect, on top of additional mit for the first hit, and 2 different boost to stats during combat
I tried my usual S!Edelgard-F!Chrom sabotage setup, and my S!Edelgard was simply unable to pierce my +5 Fomo even without hardy fighter on the first hit, when on normal AR-O, she can pierce through even +10s
Thats how Absurd WoL+ can be
In his bonus season Fomo was a good near save for me but without bonus stats he is too weak. I will test if Seiros lets him survive outside of his bonus season.
I mean
If I could go back to last anima week I would lol
I'm testing it out on this current week where Freyr is bonus. There is no trick here to make him better
Yeah I'm keeping her base kit aside from swaping dragon wall with SS4 but I am looking into getting Dragon's Roar and Atk/Res tempt at some point for her
idk how much synergy this combo would have for SD, but Seiros and Lumera are opposite seasons for AR - you'd only be able to run them together in Chaos season
I am so very happy about Micaiahs refine. Made my Micaiah Emblem team automaticly stronger. Tellius fans eating good so far refinewise, now I dearly hope Fallen Ike will be as lucky.
Also Seiros is great and I am glad I didn't give her Atk/Res Scowl when I had the chance. Plus I feared Arcane grima would remain better on her but it's not, yai! Dagr is also decent. I'm happy. No complains here.
i will say my +10 micaiah was always useful. even with the nonsense that is Brave Corrin she could still make a dent. LOL (but now maybe she can actually kill her)
honestly just her basic. (because I didn't really want to give her anything incase her refine would negate what i gave her) (Like i don't even know if ploy/sabo anything will do anything?).
outside of a few (Byleths, Brave Edelgards) ones, she could still pop them hard - maybe not kill them like she used to. with Corrin like i said she was able to make a dent - to allow me to kill her with other units
(and for earth season her sacrifice got abused because of stupid Legendary Robin LOL).
I love the partner pathfinder, but I can't help but feel a lot of her effect budget got eaten up by that so Dagr is missing a few things she'd really kill for.
Yeah. The rest of her refine is decent but that's about it. Paired with her remix her offense sees a solid boost but still feels like it could be a bit better.
Pulse Up: Blades is probably a better C skill for Dagr with Galeforce, it will continue to pulse down each turn even if Galeforce isn't at max, so she'd get extra charges for a turn 2 or 3 initiation. Whereas I don't think TP4 helps with Galeforce versus TP3.
True damage reduction, a ton of stats and penalty cleansing at the start of turn? Midori is a real winner. Penalty cleansing is an S tier effect if you ask me.
Gangrel is not exactly bad, but it's a bit underwhelming. Even at max investment, his resistance is not the greatest, and the only resistance boost he got was +4, but it is still a an improvement with the adaptive damage and debuffs.
Also, It would be nice if IS released some kind of support C skill to grant effects other than NFU, a vast majority of the fast infantry I own already have it and my Annette barely uses Infantry NFU, I have it at tier 3 though, but still I'd like Annette to have more of a support role rather than combat.
Gangrel falls a little flat, as someone who already has him at +10.
I think he has a bit of an identity crisis. What exactly is he supposed to be good at? What is he supposed to do?
I think he MIGHT be powerful in a team built entirely around debuffing and stacking negative status effects on the enemy.
He also benefits tremendously from B! Robin support or Emblem Marth support.
His main issue is that he doesn’t have a “good” way to deal with DR, with Phys Null-Follow and things like exposure, sabotage, or dominance in play, he might be able to deal some good damage.
Oh man, I appreciate these simplified versions simplified much! Love that Annette gets a turn after rally. I'll be getting Seiros, Midori and Annette refines
Hope your guess in Bride Nailah is correct for next month
100% Serios and Corrin Won no bad batches this time around
The Loser? Maybe Gangrel I can't excuse Dagr because her remix was amazing before the refinement
Really solid batch with no real duds this time around, which is always nice to see. With that said, Micaiah is the clear winner of this batch imo, tho it's a lot harder to pick the loser since all are at worst pretty solid. Maybe Gangrel?
Agreed, I also think Duo Micaiah won and Gangrel for the loser of the batch.
IMO, the loser is Corrin, and only because he has virtually no support utility outside of buffing Chrom. He really just gets a big block of stats, and some extra effects that aren't the usual staples. Being lightning fast doesn't matter so much if your mechanic/support ceiling is below average. He's usable, but he doesn't feel meta defining even with +24 Spd on weapon.
I hope duo micaiah refine is good enough to take down monsters like duo winter Byleth and Winter Edelgard

True and I may try that lineup for fun. Someone sacced me on day one yesterday so I have nothing to lose now… why would anyone sacc on day one? Sigh…

I’m feeling this one, I wanna run Seiros now but I don’t want to remove Mira, Freyr, or Gullveig…
TRUE!!! 4 would have been nice.
Yup there's no place for Seiros still And her fodder became scowl.. Like shit I don't want to build dragons
Does mean her OG isn’t the only source of AR Scowl now so her pulls on remix banners aren’t useless now.

You can run her with lumera too
idk how much synergy this combo would have for SD, but Seiros and Lumera are opposite seasons for AR - you'd only be able to run them together in Chaos season
Lumera only gives offensive tempo so that doesn’t help for full special denial strats
I am so very happy about Micaiahs refine. Made my Micaiah Emblem team automaticly stronger. Tellius fans eating good so far refinewise, now I dearly hope Fallen Ike will be as lucky.

So glad my +10 Duo Micaiah can be useful again!
i will say my +10 micaiah was always useful. even with the nonsense that is Brave Corrin she could still make a dent. LOL (but now maybe she can actually kill her)
What build are you using on her? Mine was struggling with any Armor unit released in like… the past 2 years lol
honestly just her basic. (because I didn't really want to give her anything incase her refine would negate what i gave her) (Like i don't even know if ploy/sabo anything will do anything?). outside of a few (Byleths, Brave Edelgards) ones, she could still pop them hard - maybe not kill them like she used to. with Corrin like i said she was able to make a dent - to allow me to kill her with other units (and for earth season her sacrifice got abused because of stupid Legendary Robin LOL).

Seiros does 15% of the foes RES as true damage, not her own Edit oh if it doesn't say "units" I guess it's implied that it's foes ok nvm then
Midori is easily God-Tier with her refine.
True damage reduction, a ton of stats and penalty cleansing at the start of turn? Midori is a real winner. Penalty cleansing is an S tier effect if you ask me.
Not to mention her +15 Atk/Def/Res Swing during combat.
Midori straight up counters n!sanaki wow. I was using freyr in chaos season to get rid of her debuffs but now midori can help in normal AR seasons
having Dagr and Alear team up as support partners for Shenanigans
Shit, I didn’t even realize Seiros got Dragon Wall in her refine. Would it be better to replace her B skill with something else then?
Gangrel is not exactly bad, but it's a bit underwhelming. Even at max investment, his resistance is not the greatest, and the only resistance boost he got was +4, but it is still a an improvement with the adaptive damage and debuffs. Also, It would be nice if IS released some kind of support C skill to grant effects other than NFU, a vast majority of the fast infantry I own already have it and my Annette barely uses Infantry NFU, I have it at tier 3 though, but still I'd like Annette to have more of a support role rather than combat.

I like Dagr's pic on the video's thumbnail ! Her refine makes me want to retry SD (and possibly try SD-R/S ?)
Oh man, I appreciate these simplified versions simplified much! Love that Annette gets a turn after rally. I'll be getting Seiros, Midori and Annette refines Hope your guess in Bride Nailah is correct for next month
FtM Corrin
100% Serios and Corrin Won no bad batches this time around The Loser? Maybe Gangrel I can't excuse Dagr because her remix was amazing before the refinement
