QotD: Say something EVIL about the last 5-star pitybreaker you got. Don't hold back (I love reading these).

Hope you like it

Any characters you expect to place higher/lower than you would've assumed pre-release? Do you anticipate a Fortune's Sweep, or do you think things will be pretty mixed? Will you be rallying for any Fortune's Weave characters, or will you continue to vote for your older favorites?

Now that some time has passed, I'm curious what people think. CYL voting should begin in January, so there's still time for things to change, but I think it's been long enough to get a basic read of characters' support. So, share your thoughts!

(PLEASE tag any spoilers! Not everyone has had the chance to play/finish the game yet)

Also consider voting in u/LegalFishingRod's CYL strawpoll: https://strawpoll.com/6QnMQ4m6Ane

https://strawpoll.com/6QnMQ4m6Ane

That's right, we're running it back!

After how successful our anonymous poll was at predicting the four winners last year (four for four!), I've decided to run it again this year.

Voteable are every character who finished in the top 20 of either gender category in CYL10, plus every playable character from Fortune's Weave!

This has obviously made the poll huge, but I decided to add everybody because I wasn't sure which Fortune's Weave characters to exclude. If I run future versions of this poll closer to CYL11, I'll probably remove a lot of the lower ranking Fortune's Weave characters.

If you voted "Other", feel free to put who you voted for below and if I see somebody get mentioned a lot I'll add them to voting next time.

To be clear, what I mean is that he is already on the waiting list for his refine, and yet he's still only appeared on four banners (including his debut):

• Debut banner: August 2024

• Níðhöggr banner: November 2024

• 35th Anniv. Rising Heroes Banner: April 2025

• Edelgard Emblem banner: December 2025

• Next appearance: November of this year

The unit was never really strong or broken enough for IS to justify keeping him in the dark like this. I mean, even Male Corrin has rerun more times, and that unit is even worse than Shez—at least Shez is actually useful for auto-play.

Also, it's worth mentioning that both Corrin and Alear—two characters who got their Legendary alts that exact same year—have already received more alts to try and fix the mistakes of their Legendary versions, while Shez got dumped into the Grail shop for a second time.

Notes:

Kurt is the face of the game and the most popular character so she will definitely get a Legendary.

Rose will probably get one too given she's relevant to the story (more so now in book 4) and the second most popular character, but not really guaranteed like Kurt.

Joachim and Rusty are book leads and technically lords so they're legendary candidates, but less likely to actually get one.

IF the game has to get mythic rep, Fenris and Naga are the only likely candidates. But considering we get very few non-OC mythics i doubt both will get in. Maybe they get in as a seasonal duo or something.

Unless they want to go by book order, i feel like book 2 and 3 characters are less likely to get in. Some book 4 characters might have a higher chance since it's the current book.

Welcome to another one of these threads! Since last time we got the CYL4 Harmonics and the Halloween banner, although I believe we had the trailer already. Outside of FEH, Fortune's Weave's DLC got announced too. Anyways if you wanna talk about any of that, a unit you're working on, or anything else nice going on then let's hear it!

FE opinions:

• Nothing crazy to say FE wise tbh other than saving up some orbs in FEH, and I'm still in my first FW part 1 with Dietrich - I'm on Chapter 11 so I'm nearing the end for him. Its hard to give full thoughts without even finishing a path yet, games long as hell lmao. Been enjoying the paralogues, with Bertrand or Anatolia's being the highlights thanks to their unique gimmicks. I've stolen Talimun's squad aside from Ludia and have enjoyed their supports quite a bit, alongside Dante's. I got Nuzzuo too, who's design might be my favourite in the game and his unit performance is really solid as a late recruit, so the fact he's been afflicted with the single C support curse is devastating. If this dude ever gets into FEH he's gonna be my next scrimblo GHB unit for sure.

Non-FE:

• Belmont's Curse released this week! Only played a few hours so far but I've been having a good time. The movement feels quite smooth and I enjoy a good grapple in a platformer. I've loved the amount of detail packed into the backgrounds - I've stopped a good few times just to admire the look of the game. I do miss Ayami Kojima's artwork of course but this works quite well. My only complaint is that the soundtrack isn't as great as past games, but its certainly not bad. The catacombs theme is pretty good though, definitely my favourite so far. I've not gotten around to my yearly spooky season Castlevania 1 replay but I'll probably get through that one night this week. Absolutely love that game, can't wait to play it again!

What’s the best way to get a high scoring team for Divine Games?

a) Use my highest overall stat units regardless of version.

b) Use my highest overall stat units from the bonus version.

It’s also so hard to tell who my best scoring units are since so many units have crazy bonus visible stats from Rise Above, personal weapons, etc., so Rating isn’t a reliable indicator.

Finally got my last two merges on these guys, so was just wondering how I should build them. I’m also a F2P player, if that makes any difference :P

Its nice i liek music

These are the options I've narrowed it down to currently.

Please Seteth/Seteth. Or Sothis/Sothis.

Realistically tho probably Leda/Dorothea. Or Theodora/Edelgard.

Let's see how these results compare to the other poll.

Would it be worth it to break down Baldr, in order to give Dimitri Archrival? I am copying a build I found online.

By the skin of her teeth against Gullveig, but she did it! I am so proud of her ♡ And I cannot wait for Amber to be added to the game so I can spoil him as well ♡
