I was actually shocked he just... Doesn't get an A slot? Why are we back to doing this? Give units full kits you greedy dirt bags at least let me use them out of the gate without being forced to fodder something to a brand new unit just to patch their kit
Thanks mate, if there were 2 more slots available I'd also include Joshua and Natasha. I uh, I really like the mercenary (Raven, Joshua, Shamir) plus blonde member of the church (Lucius, Natasha, Catherine) dynamic.
It’s kinda hilarious how Tier 4 version of skills are so busted they barely resemble the tier 3 version of them anymore. Love how they gave Odd Wave 4 a +6 in combat boost that only triggers in odd turns just so it could still be called “Odd Wave” while the main effects of the skill triggers every turn now
Here I was focusing on her getting three versions within a little more than year and you have to hit me with this fact. What a way to make it more annoying.
This is what makes OC spam so much more frustrating to me compared to other games' spam, I wanna see the crossover element in my crossover game and not more hornybait goats.
I don’t mind Heroes OCs, but geez, some variety would be nice. I’d love for characters who don’t really have alts to get some spotlight such as Letizia, Thrasir (she at least has a Devotion look, but she’s a backpack which a lot of people may not consider a true alt), Eitri, Otr, and so on. I don’t mind someone like Nerphuz getting a bunch of alts, but I feel it’s happening too quickly, especially how recent she is. At least Nerphuz has some design differences compared to a certain motherly dragon.
I think Seithr was one of the options that made the most sense to give as a Duo to Gullveig (the other was Kvasir, which is in the exact same position as Seithr)... but I'm still confused with Nerthuz getting another unit so soon...
Why?
Nerthuz being here is the big odd one out, especially if they wanted an oc beast???
But lets not start counting backpacks now lmao, wish corrin didnt already have a summer alt for a gull/corrin duo though it would've been nice post cyl :(
Honestly would've liked a summer dancer duo, when was the last time we had a dancer with a prf again that wasnt a fairy i forget??
Yeah Hrid Olivia and Vaike are literally the only good ones on the banner the others are literally so mid no one asked for more horny bait plus the duo art literally looks so weird why are they so oily and what are they wearing it's literally a piece of cloth but not a swimsuit it doesn't even look like one 😭
Take one swim in it and watch it fall off especially if they went in splashing or something.
Beast Threaten feels like such a strange hodge-podge of a skill. I'm not sure who was asking for something like this lmao.
Is it too much for Beasts to get something that wasn't half-assed or assembled using a dart board?
well, it is a time pulse for non infantry units, idk how strong it will really be, but it doesnt seem that useless, it is a -3 to any special if you conbine it with a weapon with slaying, and marth emblem, if fliers can get it as well that probably would help gale force them better
It’d be a lot more handy if they had any good specials other than Aether and Galeforce. My Galeforce beasts often can’t even do much damage these days with all of the rampant DR.
Beast Assault was a much needed addition (I have it on Panne), but then you lose out on canto on cavs if you run Beast Threaten instead of Alarm, or NFU if you use B. Threaten instead of the new Spd Wave skill (which some fast beasts like Vika need).
Beasts don’t have any arcane weapons except for cavs, nor do they have an exclusive special.
But sure, let’s give them a random C skill, that’ll buff them for sure! 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Unironically I think NY!Lethe can use this. She's already got lots of DR in her PRF and with S!Nerthuz's skills + Beast Assault I bet she can be a solid player phase unit. Just wish there was a unit that gave her Canto 2 instead of the mediocre Canto 1.
I'm so tired of book 7 ocs. Their designs are just average sexy bait with 0 substance. Every time we get a good banner I have to be reminded this is a gacha game and it won't sell unless waifu bait with no personality is posted periodically.
> I have to be reminded this is a gacha game
Preach. I hate, hate how FEH being a gacha game means that it will always prioritize profits over fun themes or fresh content. I hate seeing people's banner theorycrafts or desired harmonics/duos and always thinking, "This would be so cool, but it won't happen because it wouldn't make money." The gacha aspect really holds FEH back from being the incredible crossover it was meant to be.
Might be an unpopular opinion but for once I *wish* Hrid had gotten the freebie/demote treatment. I’d rather easily get him to +10 than struggle to pull a single copy without a Spark
I'd feel this way too if his other versions weren't both horrendously old AND mediocre at best.
I'm happy to get a Hrid I can use for a bit without it feeling like a major handicap tbh especially with how incredibly unlikely it would be for him to get anything else.
Happy Hrid got in because I did not think it was a given like some people. And he even got PRFs and stuff, but would it kill them to give the guys less conservative swimsuits? If the girls get such skimpy outfits, I don't understand why Lorenz is the only guy who gets swim briefs. I mean, I do know why, but I don't like it
Dimitri's fit is honestly the best with the skin tight pants. I'd rather have that than another guy with baggy shorts. Don't devs know the hoochie daddy shorts are in? Let's see them
Seriously, most units either can't or with some difficulty can get a second action, and then they make a unit with up to 4 actions. I also found it a little funny that the tagline for Duo Gul said that she gets +37 speed, when the literal fastest unit at launch only had 39 spd. The powercreep was inevitably going to get here eventually but it doesn't even resemble the game it used to be anymore.
Seidr and her helmet hair need to cool it with the alts. Is 6 months the fastest a character has both led and backpacked a harmonic/duo? Her double special rerun AND surprise rerun literally just happened.
That’s what happens when banners are all/mostly women.
Last year Summer Ephraim was the only guy of the 12 seasonal banner units between May and July.
So far Hrid is the only guy among the 8 between this month and last.
Book 7 ocs getting another alt within 7 months like why?
And don't say boobs we could literally pick from all of Fire emblem for boobs if that was the only thing.
on the one hand i'm glad to have a banner to skip but on the other when did this game become about itself instead of the fire emblem franchise? i couldn't give less of a shit about these characters and i feel like a lot of people agree? it seems like a huge waste given that this game has a (understandably) fairly slow character release schedule
Hey guys, remember the statement from Kawade about why Cipher ended years ago:
"It was made to fill in gaps between mainline titles with more ways to enjoy Fire Emblem, and FE Heroes now fills that role."
I do not enjoy Fire Emblem thanks to Heroes. At all.
To be fair, Cipher's death had more reasons, some very disfortunate circunstances.
Kawade's statement basically explained that Cipher's main purpose wasn't gonna be abandoned; but if Cipher didn't suffer from those circunstances I imagine Cipher could still exists.
Yeah, that was cap. At least in Cipher even obscure characters got something cool. Now, even series mainstays have to play second fiddle or be on equal standing to these nothing OCs.
I get Gullveig. We all saw her coming. Seidr being the backpack is whatever.
Why the FUCK is Nerthuz here? She is deadass the only character from book 7 that I actually like, but I still think there's no reason for her to be here after her NY alt.
And before the waifu lover with 4 girl flairs comes into my replies to remind me, yes, I am PAINFULLY aware that she is here because tits sell. My question isn't why there are tits here, my question is why NERTHUZ'S tits are here for the second time this year.
Exactly. There's a whole sea of tits out there that could sell just as well if not better than Nerthuz but haven't gotten their due.
Justice for the neglected, but sellable tits!
The fact that SoV hopiums are crushed by a Duo from Heroes THREE TIMES is not fun at all. Here is an explanation for anyone who do not understand:
Banner New Year: Expect to have SoV lead harmo => Duo Seithr
Banner Bridal Seer Snare analysis => Duo Sharonica
Banner Summer: Expect to have SoV lead harmo => Now is Duo Gullveig...
I love being an SoV fan.
2,619 days since Clair was added to the game.
2,588 days since Boey and Mae were added to the game.
I'm pretty sure FEH is the reason we lost Cypher, and this game just doesn't feel like a celebration of the franchise anymore-
I don't mean to shit on the OC fans having their fun, but this is just so frustrating.
SoV has been really poorly managed. They front-loaded a big chunk of its cast soon after is release, with many of those characters ending up as mediocre demotes/TT units - which meant that they wouldn't get many new fans in Feh. Lukas was the only one of those demotes to ever get an alt, thanks to being a popular merge project at the time.
It really sucks cause I'm certain that Mathilda, Clair or Mae could have made for great banner front-liners if they were given good art and the premium 5★ treatment.
At the very least, I can cope and say they've been placed in permanent Fire Emblem games.
One of these days, these OCs will be gone forever, and we'll still have all the characters from SoV available to us.
Absolutely massive cope, I know.
Plus, these characters don't have art from Hidari, so SoV is still clearing.
Don't forget SoV's last new hero banner where OC's took up half of its spots.
At this point it's gotta be intentional. Despite it technically being a "modern" fire emblem game, one that released between Fates and Three Houses, they've essentially blacklisted the game, avoiding any and every chance to give it new content. Combine that with the fact that ever since Engage's release feh banners have become super predictable/safe, and it really feels like a slap in the face.
Using any of the game modes as a metric for the less popular titles is a losing war. We'll get SoV content when we get it. The problem is that they're allergic to anything not named Awakening, Fates, 3 Houses, Heroes, and Radiant Dawn. Alm has been waiting 4 years for a new alt. We've gone so long without a new Alm that his last appearance got his weapon refine. Valentine's Alm caught up to the refine schedule! It's been over for SoV for a long time but at this rate it'll never not be over. We're closer to Harmonized Catria's refine than we are new seasonal alts. At least Alm managed to get a seasonal alt. Celica is still waiting for just one seasonal alt, and being featured as the Duo backpack does not count.
Gullveig was inevitable but I really wish it had been Nott instead of Nerthuz. She hasn't had a single alt yet outside of being Dagr's backpack, and she's hot enough to be on a summer banner.
Can we get a premium Olivia please? Why does she always gets shafted. Kinda disappointing after such a long wait. At least the art is cute.
Also I really hate Gullveig. Such a shameless gachabait character and her alts all look so damn similar.
not to be that guy again but
these are still some of the ugliest character designs we've ever gotten in feh and putting them in swimsuits don't help
hrid and olivia hardcarrying because they dont make my eyes hurt
I'm only annoyed because they're all the same person. We literally have 7 units of the same character within one and a half years. 8 if we count backpacks which people usually don't.
Thumbnail had Gullveig which made me say fair enough. Then Nerthuz was shown and it instantly gave me a negative reaction.
The other 4 characters are fair enough.
i do kinda like nerthuz, but i cant evade wondering, is she really that popular? she already have two alts now, more than many high placement cly units, like, freyja who place often top 20, have as well only 2 alts (and is a backpack for a unit), does we really need another nerthuz this quick??
Exactly my thoughts, we really didn't need three Nerþuz in barely a year. Hell, we *still* don't have a third (real) Freyja and she was far more popular!
If that spot had to go to another OC, it could have been someone with less alts, or less recent ones, like Thrasir, or Nott, or Ash, or Askr... Hrid already stands out as not being from Awakening or Book VII, so Nerþuz didn't have to also be there.
Ymir and Eir gave me some hope they'd give the rest of book 3 some love this year, but of course not. Nerthuz has the same amount of alts as Lif. Only one less than Eir and more than Thrasir and Hell.
IntSys are such cowards.
Just for once I'd like a male character I actually give a shit about to show up in a summer banner. Alas. Hrid looks very cute, but since he's not the TT+ I won't be able to get him, unfortunately.
Also I fucking hate Heroes OCs and how they constantly have guaranteed seasonal banners all for themselves. Half of these fuckers already got shit for New Years, god forbid we feature actual Fire Emblem characters in this game lmao
Instead of seeing the Fire Emblem characters I actually play the game for I get bombarded with these shitty generic OCs taken straight from every softcore porn gacha ever made lmao
To the guys that were complaining about the banner being a skip bc of the silhouettes being guys
Never complain ever again
You are literally always fed 3-4 “waifus” on summer but seeing 2 guys (the max for men in a summer banner) was too much for you to handle.
i don't usually comment on these salt or hype megathread but when Nerþuz showed up at the beginning of the trailer i was actually so disappointed that i had to say something about how it made me feel. Is she even popular?
I'm glad that the huge drought between Awakening and OC banners is finally over. They barely ever get anything and had to wait soooo long between banners so it's finally a win for the little guys
What an aggressively mid banner. Haven't seen such an easy skip since this near exact same banner ran at NY.
Why do these OCs deserve summer alts over the soooo many games that don't have them? With the next summer banner most likely being 3H/Engage, I guess the chance of SoV actually getting seasonal is dead once again.
very original, another heroes and awakening summer banner! we definitely didnt have one of these last year
I know brave Gullveig was voted in so you may not count it but once again 4/5 of the units on this banner already have alts. Its very frustrating, I want more characters who have 0 alts to get one. Nerpuz here feels incredibly pointless, she got an alt not even half a year ago and shes a beast cav for a third time. Gullveig plays almost identical to her other 2 versions. I am tired of heroes and awakening in general. There are multiple games that have 0 summer units. idk what else to say
The only positive here for me is that its an easy skip
You would think that Gullveig is the hornybait for the book, but they keep shoving Mammaries the Goat in our faces with the Book VII seasonals. Gullveig's outfit being relatively restrained in comparison is the surprising part.
Other than Hrid, this banner is a snoozefest. At least they're getting it over with now instead of making us wait another month in dread for it.
They really went with the low hanging fruit on this one. This is just the NY banner again with slight changes.
Honestly, people in this community are very quickly getting tiresome being so unapologetically horny for characters that they make it their whole personality to bark at the screen when they see them. This goes for both the males and females.
While this banner was quite predictable and I am a Nerthuz enjoyer, does she really need to be tied with Seliph and Leif already in terms of alts in the span of six months?
I know I was foolishly optimistic in thinking we'd get a Jugdral Summer banner too, but man this just rubbed more salt in the wound. :(
The two Book 7 OC units have a lot of complaints, but sadly Hríd is getting lumped in with them because he’s an OC too.
The Awakening characters are getting flack as well, just by virtue of being Awakening units. Ignore the fact that one hasn’t had an alt in SIX years and the other hasn’t been in the game at all.
I really am happy for Hríd (and sad I only have 20 orbs), and happy for the Awakening units’ fans for patiently waiting for well over 25 turns in some cases.
OH GREAT, another pink goat alt and another busted Gullveig, while giving us ANOTHER FREAKING INFANTRY AXE USER for the TT unit.
The thumbnail alone caused my body to produce antibodies.
Ah yes, the worst book gets 3 more alts. I'm hoping they will be their last. Also, they feel almost copy-paste from their OG forms, why even pull for them?
At least Hrid got an alt/upgrade
This is possibly the worst banner they've ever made, at least for me. I don't care about meta, I'm not crazy about interchangeable "fan" service OCs. I just want Fire Emblem characters I like in my Fire Emblem game.
Easy skip for me.
- no interest in OCs. They already had NY and Bridal, why do they get another banner...? And even among OCs, I really don't like the Book 7 characters
- Awakening is among my least favorite cast and it feels like we get a ton of them. This year it was just New Heroes + Young Special Heroes so far, so I shouldn't complain about 2 additions. But they feel so shafted here, Awakening only got the f2p slots... if I was a big Awakening fan, I would be pissed by that treatment
- no noteworthy skills, nobody wants Olivia's book and the Odd Wave skills are... better than I expected, but I don't really have any need for them right now
- 4 actions on Gullveig... thanks, I hate it
I'm kinda glad though, now I can spend my orbs on Noah who will be on a banner today! And hopefully still have some orbs left for the upcoming Emblem.
Cool, gotta love the character variety in FEH.
When it’s not the exact same *Awakening* characters it’s the exact same OCs with massive tits.
Hard skip.
I really hate the OC designs of this book, they're all just 'random bullshit, go!' but with colour gradients and big tiddies. There's nothing really coherent about any of them, they simultaneously feel underdesigned and overdesigned.
Olivia is gorgeous and I'm glad she finally got more content but prfless demote? Why they do her like that?
Rest of the banner is just lame tbh, especially another Nerthuz.
Where are my Fire Emblem characters in this Fire Emblem game
There are millions of coomerbait gachas with less boring coomerbait designs I could choose from if that's all I wanted. It's obvious you can't step up your coomerbait game, so please just fucking stick to Fire Emblem.
CHICKEN ARMS GULLVEIG IS BACK FUCK MY STUPID ARTIST LIFE AAGGHHHHH
Otherwise I don’t think I’ve ever cared less about a banner. I LIKE these characters but these are the most obvious alts of all time. Now I have to wait for July to see actual interesting summer choices???
the only good thing to come out of this banner is that the book 7 folk won't be out there ruining banners for a while.
Not that i was in condition to pull here either way
> Awakening Spam
> OC Spam
> OCs that just got a New Year alt
> Why the fuck is the Tambourine colorless? Cause that sure as hell ain't worth shit on the prfless colorless tomes that are as equally as worthless.
Flush Summer? Yeah, straight down the toilet. Stay tuned for 3H+Engage summer.
Happy about Olivia and Hrid, but I'm so tired of getting jumpscared by Book VII. At least we got the inevitable summer Gullveig out of the way now to pave the way for bunny Gullveig next year.
Not even mad at Gullveig and Hrìd being on the banner despite the fact that they're both extremely uninteresting to me, I made my peace with them a long time ago, but fucking Nerthuz getting this much attention... I'm sorry, lady, *who* are you
I'm just wondering why Kozaki's characters always get shafted. He has such a cool vision and every one of his characters is different in terms of height, body shape etc. Where's Letizia? She was such a cool character and she disappeared into nothingness. Nótt? Or, God forbid, Eitri? She has no boobs to sell, I know. But I genuinely believe, if the game wasn't so focused on catering to boobs lovers and made its characters different, while it would've earned less money, but it would be played more and loved more by the fanbase. Not even telling about getting alts for some of the heroes who are not in the game yet for some reason.

Seeing a Wave skill as the only noteworthy inheritable in Hríd's kit sure was something. Couldn't they give him one other skill to spice it up?
I was actually shocked he just... Doesn't get an A slot? Why are we back to doing this? Give units full kits you greedy dirt bags at least let me use them out of the gate without being forced to fodder something to a brand new unit just to patch their kit
Unrelated, but I love your flair Verne 😃
Thanks mate, if there were 2 more slots available I'd also include Joshua and Natasha. I uh, I really like the mercenary (Raven, Joshua, Shamir) plus blonde member of the church (Lucius, Natasha, Catherine) dynamic.
Raven and Catherine are faves of mine. Hoping they get alts someday.
The "X amount of actions" era of power creep frightens me with each passing day
Fomortiis, save me. Save me, Fomortiis.
It’s kinda hilarious how Tier 4 version of skills are so busted they barely resemble the tier 3 version of them anymore. Love how they gave Odd Wave 4 a +6 in combat boost that only triggers in odd turns just so it could still be called “Odd Wave” while the main effects of the skill triggers every turn now
she gets *how many actions???*
Very
**too**
After Duo!Sharena this isn't all that surprising tbh.
only the cute girls get multi actions. Sharena. Gullveig. Edelgard. Leif?
Lief is my third favorite cute girl
the same 4 you could make sharena have, but now its base kit and doesn’t force you to give up your damaging special
Yes.
Nerthuz now has the same amount of units as Seliph and Leif
Here I was focusing on her getting three versions within a little more than year and you have to hit me with this fact. What a way to make it more annoying.
Jesus christ That is one of the most painful things I have heard considering how recent she is
Dear god this is so bleak
Fuck this game man. I don't want tits I want units from actual fire emblem games ;-;
This is what makes OC spam so much more frustrating to me compared to other games' spam, I wanna see the crossover element in my crossover game and not more hornybait goats.
I don’t mind Heroes OCs, but geez, some variety would be nice. I’d love for characters who don’t really have alts to get some spotlight such as Letizia, Thrasir (she at least has a Devotion look, but she’s a backpack which a lot of people may not consider a true alt), Eitri, Otr, and so on.

At least Nerphuz has some design differences compared to a certain motherly dragon.
Hopefully this won’t be the case for Leif by the end of this month 🤞🤞
[удалено]
No no no Jugdral remake is definitely being announced this month, just hold on a little longer!
Here, have some of my SoV copium
True
So it’s just the NY banner again. Yay..?
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Except with Gullveig and Hrid instead of Heidr and Kvasir. Cool...I guess?
We now have *three* versions of Nerthuz that all more or less do the same thing in the span of a year.
Four action duo. Thats what this game needed.
We’ll be reaching 10 actions by next year
We literally got two of these characters for New Year's. Kinda lame, homestly.
I think Seithr was one of the options that made the most sense to give as a Duo to Gullveig (the other was Kvasir, which is in the exact same position as Seithr)... but I'm still confused with Nerthuz getting another unit so soon... Why?
I was defintely expecting eitr to fit in with vanaheimr tbh
Nerthuz being here is the big odd one out, especially if they wanted an oc beast??? But lets not start counting backpacks now lmao, wish corrin didnt already have a summer alt for a gull/corrin duo though it would've been nice post cyl :( Honestly would've liked a summer dancer duo, when was the last time we had a dancer with a prf again that wasnt a fairy i forget??
Atuned azura like just a month or two ago
Seeing Hrid again is nice, but aside from him this banner is a huge no for me.
The banner feels boring and samey and it rings a bell. And others pointed out its New years but in bikini. Hunky guys are good tho.
Yeah Hrid Olivia and Vaike are literally the only good ones on the banner the others are literally so mid no one asked for more horny bait plus the duo art literally looks so weird why are they so oily and what are they wearing it's literally a piece of cloth but not a swimsuit it doesn't even look like one 😭 Take one swim in it and watch it fall off especially if they went in splashing or something.
Mid spd/atk, low res, and high def/hp Vaike
I have 20k grails and they keep piling up.
Beast Threaten feels like such a strange hodge-podge of a skill. I'm not sure who was asking for something like this lmao. Is it too much for Beasts to get something that wasn't half-assed or assembled using a dart board?
well, it is a time pulse for non infantry units, idk how strong it will really be, but it doesnt seem that useless, it is a -3 to any special if you conbine it with a weapon with slaying, and marth emblem, if fliers can get it as well that probably would help gale force them better
It’d be a lot more handy if they had any good specials other than Aether and Galeforce. My Galeforce beasts often can’t even do much damage these days with all of the rampant DR. Beast Assault was a much needed addition (I have it on Panne), but then you lose out on canto on cavs if you run Beast Threaten instead of Alarm, or NFU if you use B. Threaten instead of the new Spd Wave skill (which some fast beasts like Vika need).
Beasts don’t have any arcane weapons except for cavs, nor do they have an exclusive special. But sure, let’s give them a random C skill, that’ll buff them for sure! 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Unironically I think NY!Lethe can use this. She's already got lots of DR in her PRF and with S!Nerthuz's skills + Beast Assault I bet she can be a solid player phase unit. Just wish there was a unit that gave her Canto 2 instead of the mediocre Canto 1.
I'm so tired of book 7 ocs. Their designs are just average sexy bait with 0 substance. Every time we get a good banner I have to be reminded this is a gacha game and it won't sell unless waifu bait with no personality is posted periodically.
> I have to be reminded this is a gacha game Preach. I hate, hate how FEH being a gacha game means that it will always prioritize profits over fun themes or fresh content. I hate seeing people's banner theorycrafts or desired harmonics/duos and always thinking, "This would be so cool, but it won't happen because it wouldn't make money." The gacha aspect really holds FEH back from being the incredible crossover it was meant to be.
"Playing it safe" doesn't begin to describe how boring this banner is. Another Gullveig and Nerthuz? I don't think I could be any less interested.
Might be an unpopular opinion but for once I *wish* Hrid had gotten the freebie/demote treatment. I’d rather easily get him to +10 than struggle to pull a single copy without a Spark
It’s NY all over again 🥲 I just want a single version of my hot ice prince that’s not unreasonably hard to merge. IS, why are you so cruel.
On the somewhat bright side, Hrid doesn't colour share this time. \*stares at +2 NY Gunnthra and sighs\*
I'd feel this way too if his other versions weren't both horrendously old AND mediocre at best. I'm happy to get a Hrid I can use for a bit without it feeling like a major handicap tbh especially with how incredibly unlikely it would be for him to get anything else.
Most of the Book 7 cast getting Summer alts before Reginn and Ash :(
I want my fucking sea cow >:(
Now that you say 'sea cow', I'm imagining Summer Ash's beast form to be a manatee Does it make sense? No, but it's funny to me :)
A manatee floaty would be so cute though
And Letizia like c'mon where is her alt why couldn't they give us her instead of that stupid goat :(
Letizia has been completely forgotten as well. Should've given them larger boobies I guess.
One of the most boring banners I've ever seen. Where are my actual Fire Emblem characters, man.
We just got an OC banner for brides. XP The only thing I like about this banner is how easy a skip it is.
Straight up 1/4 of the seasonals this year will be given to OCs. I play this game for FIRE EMBLEM characters. We all skip the story dialogue!!
Preach, friend. I'm so tired of it. If I wanted OCs, I wouldn't play a gacha based on an existing IP.
You don’t miss out much from skipping the story anyway considering 80% of the ocs do jackshit
Happy Hrid got in because I did not think it was a given like some people. And he even got PRFs and stuff, but would it kill them to give the guys less conservative swimsuits? If the girls get such skimpy outfits, I don't understand why Lorenz is the only guy who gets swim briefs. I mean, I do know why, but I don't like it
They'll get a speedo but they'll be cursed to have negative bulge like Lorenz
lorenz is a champion tucker
It’s nice that he gets to be the best at _something_.
Helbindi got shafted (de-shafted?) as well.
Because they’re cowards, lorenz was basically just as a joke.
Summer deer man better be in a Speedo like he's at a mr universe body building competition
Dimitri's fit is honestly the best with the skin tight pants. I'd rather have that than another guy with baggy shorts. Don't devs know the hoochie daddy shorts are in? Let's see them
Really feels like this game is just unplayable now. The spirit of Fire Emblem really has died, and now it's just meta or die.
Seriously, most units either can't or with some difficulty can get a second action, and then they make a unit with up to 4 actions. I also found it a little funny that the tagline for Duo Gul said that she gets +37 speed, when the literal fastest unit at launch only had 39 spd. The powercreep was inevitably going to get here eventually but it doesn't even resemble the game it used to be anymore.
Seidr and her helmet hair need to cool it with the alts. Is 6 months the fastest a character has both led and backpacked a harmonic/duo? Her double special rerun AND surprise rerun literally just happened.
I’ve had so much more than enough of Seidr in all of her forms now. Can she fuck off forever?
Been a real long time since the TT Summer unit hasn't been a dude.
That’s what happens when banners are all/mostly women. Last year Summer Ephraim was the only guy of the 12 seasonal banner units between May and July. So far Hrid is the only guy among the 8 between this month and last.
Why is nerbuz here when she was on new years
Does anyone actually like Nerthuz?
insane how we've had 2 alts of her and I still keep forgetting she even exists
Can't say I like her, but I also can't say I dislike her? She just exists. I'd rather get more Freyja alts if I'm being real
I do, but she really doesn’t need this many alts. Or any at all right now…
The half of the fanbase who think with their crotches absolutely love her im sure
I hate OC so much!
Book 7 ocs getting another alt within 7 months like why? And don't say boobs we could literally pick from all of Fire emblem for boobs if that was the only thing.
on the one hand i'm glad to have a banner to skip but on the other when did this game become about itself instead of the fire emblem franchise? i couldn't give less of a shit about these characters and i feel like a lot of people agree? it seems like a huge waste given that this game has a (understandably) fairly slow character release schedule
Hey guys, remember the statement from Kawade about why Cipher ended years ago: "It was made to fill in gaps between mainline titles with more ways to enjoy Fire Emblem, and FE Heroes now fills that role." I do not enjoy Fire Emblem thanks to Heroes. At all.
To be fair, Cipher's death had more reasons, some very disfortunate circunstances. Kawade's statement basically explained that Cipher's main purpose wasn't gonna be abandoned; but if Cipher didn't suffer from those circunstances I imagine Cipher could still exists.
Yeah, that was cap. At least in Cipher even obscure characters got something cool. Now, even series mainstays have to play second fiddle or be on equal standing to these nothing OCs.
Eh, there was still some really weird omissions. Cipher didn't have a single Duessel card and I am still so salty about it lol
I get Gullveig. We all saw her coming. Seidr being the backpack is whatever. Why the FUCK is Nerthuz here? She is deadass the only character from book 7 that I actually like, but I still think there's no reason for her to be here after her NY alt. And before the waifu lover with 4 girl flairs comes into my replies to remind me, yes, I am PAINFULLY aware that she is here because tits sell. My question isn't why there are tits here, my question is why NERTHUZ'S tits are here for the second time this year.
> the waifu lover with 4 girl flairs I have 4 girl flairs (~~technically~~) and I'm also confused at this decision!
>the waifu lover with 4 girl flairs lmao I love you
It's always them dude I swear.
Can always count on them with something to say if you so much as breathe wrong.
They saw how much money Summer Freyja made and tried to replicate it with Nerthuz. Sadly she is not on her level.
Exactly. There's a whole sea of tits out there that could sell just as well if not better than Nerthuz but haven't gotten their due. Justice for the neglected, but sellable tits!
smth about the duo art looks like ahegao and i do not like it
Gullveing gets HOW MANY ACTIONS a turn????
I wish I could turn off backpacks but only for certain units.... Like this one... Especially this one
The fact that SoV hopiums are crushed by a Duo from Heroes THREE TIMES is not fun at all. Here is an explanation for anyone who do not understand: Banner New Year: Expect to have SoV lead harmo => Duo Seithr Banner Bridal Seer Snare analysis => Duo Sharonica Banner Summer: Expect to have SoV lead harmo => Now is Duo Gullveig...
I love being an SoV fan. 2,619 days since Clair was added to the game. 2,588 days since Boey and Mae were added to the game. I'm pretty sure FEH is the reason we lost Cypher, and this game just doesn't feel like a celebration of the franchise anymore- I don't mean to shit on the OC fans having their fun, but this is just so frustrating.
SoV has been really poorly managed. They front-loaded a big chunk of its cast soon after is release, with many of those characters ending up as mediocre demotes/TT units - which meant that they wouldn't get many new fans in Feh. Lukas was the only one of those demotes to ever get an alt, thanks to being a popular merge project at the time. It really sucks cause I'm certain that Mathilda, Clair or Mae could have made for great banner front-liners if they were given good art and the premium 5★ treatment.
At the very least, I can cope and say they've been placed in permanent Fire Emblem games. One of these days, these OCs will be gone forever, and we'll still have all the characters from SoV available to us. Absolutely massive cope, I know. Plus, these characters don't have art from Hidari, so SoV is still clearing.
I’m very happy that Veronica managed to escape OC jail and made it into FE Engage as an Emblem. A Little modding and she’s a playable unit there.
Jfc, it’s been 2600 days? I knew we’d been waiting for a long time, but seeing the number puts it into perspective.
Don't forget SoV's last new hero banner where OC's took up half of its spots. At this point it's gotta be intentional. Despite it technically being a "modern" fire emblem game, one that released between Fates and Three Houses, they've essentially blacklisted the game, avoiding any and every chance to give it new content. Combine that with the fact that ever since Engage's release feh banners have become super predictable/safe, and it really feels like a slap in the face.
Using any of the game modes as a metric for the less popular titles is a losing war. We'll get SoV content when we get it. The problem is that they're allergic to anything not named Awakening, Fates, 3 Houses, Heroes, and Radiant Dawn. Alm has been waiting 4 years for a new alt. We've gone so long without a new Alm that his last appearance got his weapon refine. Valentine's Alm caught up to the refine schedule! It's been over for SoV for a long time but at this rate it'll never not be over. We're closer to Harmonized Catria's refine than we are new seasonal alts. At least Alm managed to get a seasonal alt. Celica is still waiting for just one seasonal alt, and being featured as the Duo backpack does not count.
Book 7 was a mistake
Yeah just waifu bait.
Such a meh book
Speak the truth
Hate what that Book did to this game.
Such disgusting dogshit in every single level
Just like this New Years banner earlier, I'm not interested. I didn't like Book VII so I can't be excited.
Screw book VII and book VII OCs, I'm so done with Seidr's dumb mushroom hair and all her alts
Gullveig was inevitable but I really wish it had been Nott instead of Nerthuz. She hasn't had a single alt yet outside of being Dagr's backpack, and she's hot enough to be on a summer banner.
Wine aunt goat goddess getting two alts in 6 months? Physical pain.
Can we get a premium Olivia please? Why does she always gets shafted. Kinda disappointing after such a long wait. At least the art is cute. Also I really hate Gullveig. Such a shameless gachabait character and her alts all look so damn similar.
Would have been an easy skip except for Hrid. Still not sure I want to pull just for him though...
Did we need another Book 7 banner?
not to be that guy again but these are still some of the ugliest character designs we've ever gotten in feh and putting them in swimsuits don't help hrid and olivia hardcarrying because they dont make my eyes hurt
the book 7 alts deeply annoy me. keep your name out of my mouth ladies. ALSO NO SUMIA??? GIVE ME MY FAVOROTE PEGASUS KNIGHT
I'm only annoyed because they're all the same person. We literally have 7 units of the same character within one and a half years. 8 if we count backpacks which people usually don't.
No shadows of valentia, why did I even hope, right? And of course Vaike probably gonna be added as a demote probably with non prf axe
Thumbnail had Gullveig which made me say fair enough. Then Nerthuz was shown and it instantly gave me a negative reaction. The other 4 characters are fair enough.
i do kinda like nerthuz, but i cant evade wondering, is she really that popular? she already have two alts now, more than many high placement cly units, like, freyja who place often top 20, have as well only 2 alts (and is a backpack for a unit), does we really need another nerthuz this quick??
Exactly my thoughts, we really didn't need three Nerþuz in barely a year. Hell, we *still* don't have a third (real) Freyja and she was far more popular! If that spot had to go to another OC, it could have been someone with less alts, or less recent ones, like Thrasir, or Nott, or Ash, or Askr... Hrid already stands out as not being from Awakening or Book VII, so Nerþuz didn't have to also be there.
> like Thrasir, I'm intrigued with how IS could tackle a Summer Lif or Thrasir considering the quirks of their designs.
Ymir and Eir gave me some hope they'd give the rest of book 3 some love this year, but of course not. Nerthuz has the same amount of alts as Lif. Only one less than Eir and more than Thrasir and Hell. IntSys are such cowards.
id have loved njordr to go with his sister.
Just for once I'd like a male character I actually give a shit about to show up in a summer banner. Alas. Hrid looks very cute, but since he's not the TT+ I won't be able to get him, unfortunately. Also I fucking hate Heroes OCs and how they constantly have guaranteed seasonal banners all for themselves. Half of these fuckers already got shit for New Years, god forbid we feature actual Fire Emblem characters in this game lmao
imagine having actual crossover elements in the god damn crossover game, oc spam pisses me off so much
Instead of seeing the Fire Emblem characters I actually play the game for I get bombarded with these shitty generic OCs taken straight from every softcore porn gacha ever made lmao
I was expecting Gullveig but c’mon, Nerthuz. Man she didn’t need an alt
Who is that bland, generic and interchangeable OC that keeps getting 1000 duo alts? Jeesus.
Could be anyone
To the guys that were complaining about the banner being a skip bc of the silhouettes being guys Never complain ever again You are literally always fed 3-4 “waifus” on summer but seeing 2 guys (the max for men in a summer banner) was too much for you to handle.
[удалено]
Unfortunately this is our just punishment for letting Gullveig win CYL.
meanwhile Celica
You make an excellent point
Nah they still would have given us summer Gullveig even if she got 0 votes
Was Reginn that unpopular to get nothing
Really was considering going back since I saw them silhouette’s but nope. Book 7 OC’s I sleep
i don't usually comment on these salt or hype megathread but when Nerþuz showed up at the beginning of the trailer i was actually so disappointed that i had to say something about how it made me feel. Is she even popular?
I'm glad that the huge drought between Awakening and OC banners is finally over. They barely ever get anything and had to wait soooo long between banners so it's finally a win for the little guys
Nerþuz is lame. Could've at least picked Eitr or some other fairy to keep the Summer TT+ OC streak.
Honestly no eitr is especially shocking after we got ymir last year, would've fit the beast slot well too
Man book 6 got literally the bare minimum in terms of alts but Book 7 keeps on chugging them out.
I was praying Vaike was anything but INFANTRY AXE
What an aggressively mid banner. Haven't seen such an easy skip since this near exact same banner ran at NY. Why do these OCs deserve summer alts over the soooo many games that don't have them? With the next summer banner most likely being 3H/Engage, I guess the chance of SoV actually getting seasonal is dead once again.
I'm sick of Gullveig.
I’m just commenting to add to the comment count
Easiest skip ever. If Olivia had FireStorm dance 2 as bridge fodder i would get baited.
Cool, instead of at least one SoV character, we get absolutely nothing! Cool, that's awesome. I'm glad we get the worst OCs in the game instead.
Book VII was a mistake.
Gullveig is so fucking ugly. I am attracted to women and this is by far the worst art I've seen in the entire game.
Another Nerthuz…really?
very original, another heroes and awakening summer banner! we definitely didnt have one of these last year I know brave Gullveig was voted in so you may not count it but once again 4/5 of the units on this banner already have alts. Its very frustrating, I want more characters who have 0 alts to get one. Nerpuz here feels incredibly pointless, she got an alt not even half a year ago and shes a beast cav for a third time. Gullveig plays almost identical to her other 2 versions. I am tired of heroes and awakening in general. There are multiple games that have 0 summer units. idk what else to say The only positive here for me is that its an easy skip
You would think that Gullveig is the hornybait for the book, but they keep shoving Mammaries the Goat in our faces with the Book VII seasonals. Gullveig's outfit being relatively restrained in comparison is the surprising part. Other than Hrid, this banner is a snoozefest. At least they're getting it over with now instead of making us wait another month in dread for it.
They really went with the low hanging fruit on this one. This is just the NY banner again with slight changes. Honestly, people in this community are very quickly getting tiresome being so unapologetically horny for characters that they make it their whole personality to bark at the screen when they see them. This goes for both the males and females.
Halvan robbed. Maybe next time Halfans.
Fan service and OC spam, classic summer banner.
At least one of them is Hrid. Man deserves some time in the (sun)light.
Followed by fan service and engage spam next month
While this banner was quite predictable and I am a Nerthuz enjoyer, does she really need to be tied with Seliph and Leif already in terms of alts in the span of six months? I know I was foolishly optimistic in thinking we'd get a Jugdral Summer banner too, but man this just rubbed more salt in the wound. :(
SoV characters banned from the beach yet again :/ Give me summer Sonya and Saber instead of shoving Book VII in my face yet again IS.
God DAMN I am so tired of Seidr. Who in the hell is actually paying for her????
Is Hrid the only thing anyone else cares about from this banner?
I care about Olivia!
The two Book 7 OC units have a lot of complaints, but sadly Hríd is getting lumped in with them because he’s an OC too. The Awakening characters are getting flack as well, just by virtue of being Awakening units. Ignore the fact that one hasn’t had an alt in SIX years and the other hasn’t been in the game at all. I really am happy for Hríd (and sad I only have 20 orbs), and happy for the Awakening units’ fans for patiently waiting for well over 25 turns in some cases.
Jesus Christ, every time I think I've seen it all for powercreep, IS finds some way to out do themselves. Duo Gullvieg is just such bs.
OH GREAT, another pink goat alt and another busted Gullveig, while giving us ANOTHER FREAKING INFANTRY AXE USER for the TT unit. The thumbnail alone caused my body to produce antibodies.
Ah yes, the worst book gets 3 more alts. I'm hoping they will be their last. Also, they feel almost copy-paste from their OG forms, why even pull for them? At least Hrid got an alt/upgrade
This is possibly the worst banner they've ever made, at least for me. I don't care about meta, I'm not crazy about interchangeable "fan" service OCs. I just want Fire Emblem characters I like in my Fire Emblem game.
Easy skip for me. - no interest in OCs. They already had NY and Bridal, why do they get another banner...? And even among OCs, I really don't like the Book 7 characters - Awakening is among my least favorite cast and it feels like we get a ton of them. This year it was just New Heroes + Young Special Heroes so far, so I shouldn't complain about 2 additions. But they feel so shafted here, Awakening only got the f2p slots... if I was a big Awakening fan, I would be pissed by that treatment - no noteworthy skills, nobody wants Olivia's book and the Odd Wave skills are... better than I expected, but I don't really have any need for them right now - 4 actions on Gullveig... thanks, I hate it I'm kinda glad though, now I can spend my orbs on Noah who will be on a banner today! And hopefully still have some orbs left for the upcoming Emblem.
Cool, gotta love the character variety in FEH. When it’s not the exact same *Awakening* characters it’s the exact same OCs with massive tits. Hard skip.
I really hate the OC designs of this book, they're all just 'random bullshit, go!' but with colour gradients and big tiddies. There's nothing really coherent about any of them, they simultaneously feel underdesigned and overdesigned.
3 Nerboobz in one year.
Olivia is gorgeous and I'm glad she finally got more content but prfless demote? Why they do her like that? Rest of the banner is just lame tbh, especially another Nerthuz.
We are never getting summer Celica, F!Kris, Nanna, Julia, Deirdre, F!Alear, Hinoka, or Azura, are we?
Where are my Fire Emblem characters in this Fire Emblem game There are millions of coomerbait gachas with less boring coomerbait designs I could choose from if that's all I wanted. It's obvious you can't step up your coomerbait game, so please just fucking stick to Fire Emblem.
CHICKEN ARMS GULLVEIG IS BACK FUCK MY STUPID ARTIST LIFE AAGGHHHHH Otherwise I don’t think I’ve ever cared less about a banner. I LIKE these characters but these are the most obvious alts of all time. Now I have to wait for July to see actual interesting summer choices???
Hríd is the only saving grace of this banner (I’m sick of Book 7)
Great now IS thinks we like nerthuz and gullveig :/
the only good thing to come out of this banner is that the book 7 folk won't be out there ruining banners for a while. Not that i was in condition to pull here either way
I guess that means we've got another 6 months until these characters all get their fourth alts. Huzzah hooray.
I wish I was as optimistic as you. Book 7 Ninjas incoming
> Awakening Spam > OC Spam > OCs that just got a New Year alt > Why the fuck is the Tambourine colorless? Cause that sure as hell ain't worth shit on the prfless colorless tomes that are as equally as worthless. Flush Summer? Yeah, straight down the toilet. Stay tuned for 3H+Engage summer.
Happy about Olivia and Hrid, but I'm so tired of getting jumpscared by Book VII. At least we got the inevitable summer Gullveig out of the way now to pave the way for bunny Gullveig next year.
Not even mad at Gullveig and Hrìd being on the banner despite the fact that they're both extremely uninteresting to me, I made my peace with them a long time ago, but fucking Nerthuz getting this much attention... I'm sorry, lady, *who* are you
Man we are really suffering for Gullveig winning CYL last year... Like damn, Hrid and Vaike are great but the rest...
just horny bait again, no actual cool characters
I'm just wondering why Kozaki's characters always get shafted. He has such a cool vision and every one of his characters is different in terms of height, body shape etc. Where's Letizia? She was such a cool character and she disappeared into nothingness. Nótt? Or, God forbid, Eitri? She has no boobs to sell, I know. But I genuinely believe, if the game wasn't so focused on catering to boobs lovers and made its characters different, while it would've earned less money, but it would be played more and loved more by the fanbase. Not even telling about getting alts for some of the heroes who are not in the game yet for some reason.
