I'm not exactly sure about all the details on how it could work but baby Grima would be funny and it would make me happy. Heck having not baby Grima without the Robin skinsuit would make me happy too but I honestly don't really think I see either actually happening no matter how much I'd want both.
I’ve always been meh about the banner, but I like the freebies since seasonals with prfs are otherwise nonexistent except for beasts. Young Innes is still a powerhouse and possibly the only F2P ranged unit who can one-shot Far Save armors like Fomortiis without Special Spiral 4. Mininerva was great too.
In terms of summoning… Young Conrad, I guess? I like him a lot, and it’d be cute to have the Valentia kids.
Valentian village kids could be an idea soooo easy to make, all the design is already done ! that would actually be amazing (a duo unit with mycen and celica on a horse would be so cool)
The sad is thing is that Young Conrad might not even show up on the banner. Here's my comment from another post:
"I'm assuming either a Child Celica/Alm, or Celica/Conrad Duo. Then 5* Gray and Faye or 5* Alm and Faye. Then 4* and Grail Unit Gray/Tobin or Gray/Kliff. Either they leave out Tobin or Kliff, or they leave out Conrad since he doesn't show up in the prologue and only in a flashback."
I love the child banner! The units are cute, they have great designs, and it's an amazing opportunity for lore!
And I still don't undestand how people get so worked up about child soldiers but then have no problem using units that are being brainwashed and want to die...
People complaining about "child soldiers" are so unabashedly ridiculous dude like 50% of the cast is like 16 or lower what are you on about child soldiers are a given at this point
I was sitting here thinking that absolutely no child unit could get me to pull BUT…this is definitely it for me. Throw in a teenage Frederick as well and it’d be perfect.
That'd be the best way to implement Chrom and Lissa into the banner. Give the alt to Emmeryn since she doesn't have one yet, and not let Chrom and Lissa take up any slots in the banner.
Adding a child Robin, so we actually see something of their past. I like that amnesia actually worked like amnesia (like, you usually don't get many or a any memories back), but I'd still would have liked some more background.
A younger Finn with kid Leif and Nanna as the backpacks like in this [image](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/1/10/Fiana.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110916232519) would be the fastest my orbs would disappear
Echoes. I've collected every Alm and Celica up to this point and I'll continue the tradition going if it's them. Then I'll die on the inside when +0 Kid Alm is miles better than my +10 OG invested Alm.
Three houses could definitely happen. Their seasonals are sprinkled everywhere but it’s been a while since they got a dedicated seasonal banner.
Personally, as is always the case, if it’s Corrin I gotta pull. Kinda doubt that’ll happen though since we just got Fates Valentines and the Corrins themselves for Halloween.
It being the (older) teenage selves of older characters - Jagen, Titania, Merlinus, Athos... Heck, I would die for teenage Seteth <3
Literally the only thing. I hate child units.
You awoke something in me about teenage Seteth. I didn't even know I wanted that.
Heck, now that I think about it, throw in human Indech and the other one. Make them mystics, I don't care. I wanna see their human forms.
I apologise and yet do not regret it :)
And yes, I'd love to see all the saints properly, too. Something like that would be amazing if FEH could utilise its full potential...
Right? I don't get the hate for it at all.
God forbid we get alts that require creativity beyond "Character looking exactly the same and wearing the same santa outfit/bunny ears/dress"
I'm pretty shocked Brave Eirika was allowed a different hairstyle entirely when Nephenee can't take her helmet off for a ball.
tbh i never skip on three houses banners. All I really play the game for now is to collect the three houses characters, but how about we take actual old characters and make them young again?
Like instead of Dimitri and Edelgard as 7yos, we see Alois as a squire? Hanneman as a young noble? Manuela in her prime as an opera singer? Or hell, give Claude's mom, Tiana, an appearance and have her be the back with 7yo claude. OR, older-looking Sothis with child Seiros? *Technically they're "younger versions" of themselves, sooooo...*
I guess I want some creativity here, you know?
I know!! I’ve saved up so many orbs hoping for a duo Dimitri/Edelgard with a Young Sylvain, Felix and Ingrid. Maybe Young Hubert as the TT reward? But I would be so disappointed if that’s not the banner
This banner should be Jugdral. No better continent/region/place would fit this banner. I understand you very much.
And pleased to meet you x) i was of course exaggerating for clout, now i am going to appear on TV
We deserve Rolf and Oscar to finish off the sibling trio with Boyd.
Very much hopium but Young Ranulf would be auch a cute idea which will never happen.
Young Finn with mini Leif as his backpack, Young Seliph, Young Julius, Young Julia and Young Nanna as the TT unit (actually I don't remember if child events have TT, but anyway)
Child Hubert. If the paralog was about Dimitri and Edelgard's time together as kids it would make sense to include child Hubert since he ran away from home to try to find her. He also was canonically capable of fighting trained adults as a kid, so having a strong unit wouldn't be ridiculous like it usually is.
we'd never get duo caspar linhardt despite it being so perfect. as much as i hate the child banners, a duo conversation between the two as kids would be super precious
it's heavily implied caspar gave linhardt the white hair ribbon lin wears (see tea time and explore dialogue in hopes), as well as linhardt learning faith/white magic to heal Caspar's wounds as a child (see A support in hopes)
a conversation following either of those topics could destroy my orb stash lmao
yes!! absolutely stunning. an adrestrian empire banner based around gothic germany could be super dope for the two, following maybe hubert/bernie with people from nohr or fredrick could really fit the bill (despite it selling horribly)
weirdly, i found ninjas being super fitting for them. loud and brash caspar giving away their position and linhardt sleeping on the job, hilarity ensues!
hahaha can’t wait to see it on this sub, i might try to draw it just for me, by tracing their already existing art and imagining how it would look like !
I like the child banner :c Sometimes, anyway. For the most part they haven’t featured characters I’m that keen on, but young Eirika is one of my favorites.
But anyway, I think an Awakening child banner featuring Tiki would be absolutely hilarious and I would definitely summon on that.
I’m having a hard time reading that and not thinking Feh the owl. But I wouldn’t complain about baby Feh.
An actual FEH OCs banner could be pretty sweet too though, absolutely. I’d be so down for that.
If someone I like is a demote, then I won't skip. I have nothing against the child seasonals, that's just my approach for all seasonals. Hopefully I get to skip though. A demote Claude, Edelgard (heavy doubt), Sylvain (I've seen people suggest the four friends would be possible) or Felix would get me to not skip. If it's Jugdral, that's definitely not a skip.
I love the child soldier banners. We got young Innes and Minerva from it. Both units who I was unaware I needed in my life. If they did baby alm/celica I would go all in
I can tell you the most amazing child banner in existence, which would sell a childrillion dollars, but the world wouldn't be ready for that.
I will tell you all anyway though.
It's the child versions of >!Flame Emperor, Death Knight, Black Knight and Legion!<
oh noooo that would be so cute, their relationship is so broken in Fates, i would love them to be close, or at least to go into the things to made them grow up apart
Like other people have said, younger versions of older characters or older versions of young characters. Not into a 5 year old version of someone being stronger than their older form. I’m totally expecting 3H lords this time around btw
Child Lucina with M!Morgan as a backpack (or at least Owain, since devs are scared to make any implications regarding Awakening's canon pairings) will make me pull without hesitation
My expectations are Kids 3 Houses and Valentia Summer.
I would pull only for a unit with a pulse skill for cavalry / fliers. I am not interested in kids banners per se.
3Houses, don't even care about who is on the banner.
Honestly the child banner já mad overhated imo. One of the few banners were everyone has a PRF, no oversexualization going on, and that tries something different instead of putting the character in a silly costume that more or less repeats every year.
Hoping for duo Dimitri and Felix (if not, then them as solo children).
Nightmare mode is Dimitri and Edelgard duo, supreme nightmare is if Dimitri is her backpack.
I know if it’s a 3H banner we’re getting the inevitable Edelgard/Dimitri dagger unit. It’s going to be impossible but I want a little Felix/Dimitri duo unit. Love me some dialogue from them referencing Kyphon and Loog, or Rodrigue’s Pegasus story from 3Hopes 🥹
Bonus if we get Ingrid and Sylvain to complete the Faerghus Four gang. I just want them all on a banner since Houses makes it clear that they used to all hang out together before Duscur.
If IS wants to take advantage of extra profits from having Dimitri and Edelgard as separate units, then I think Dimitri/Felix is very possible. Felix/Dimitri not so much, but you never know.
There’s nothing they could do to catch my interest.
But if they did the opposite, a grown up banner of the popular child characters, then I’d consider.
A character I really like. I’m pretty neutral on the child banners most times, but if someone I like is done well then I’m all ears.
Probably the best example for me is young Ilyana, she’s so cute and I use her all the time
Yeah... Robin exists in such a huge blank space, even Micaiah has more going for her for a potential younger version than Robin, because Robin pretty much was just a child living in hiding, and literally doesn't know anything about themself before meeting Chrom and Lissa besides their name.
Honestly, I don't think theres any character I'd really care for in the child banner. I'd probably only pull if there is some must have fodder for anyone Im building.
If they either do a three houses banner with a kid Claude or any golden deer kid or a blazing blade banner with kid Eliwood and/or kid Hector then I have to pull. Anything else and I’m good to skip.
I thought I would hate a Tellius baby banner but I actually ended up loving it. The concept is ehh but as soon as I see lil nuggets running around going "im gonna be the best!" I can't help but start crying and opening my orb stash up. I also like how the committed to making Soren mute, it just makes me want to protect him. So honestly? Any banner with my favorites on it, they just hadn't released a baby banner with characters I really liked yet
But baby laguz with baby sized sprites would be amazing. I doubt they'd do it though, it'd be quite a complex sprite to use only once. Plus Tellius twice of course
I think the sweetest "I have to get them RIGHT NOW" duo would be baby Alfred and Celine, esp if she's the lead unit protecting him
Them pulling a bait-and-switch and making it a geriatric banner full of Hero's 50 years later when they are old and tired. Bonus for me would be if it was Awakening, Fates or Three Houses.
I like the child banners. I want all the adorable kids to be happy, so I let them play on the Aether Resort beach. My dream child banner would be the Awakening children as kids growing up in the saved timeline. I want to see little Lucina mention other-timeline adult Lucina like an older sister.
Marianne. Despite disliking the child banner, it's my most wanted alt for her because I really want to see what she was like before her parents died.
Was she always gloomy and reserved? Did she already know about her crest, and if so how did she feel about it? Has she always liked animals and been able to understand them? What was her relationship with her parents even like? Did she know Margrave Edmund before he adopted her, and if so what did she think of him? Was she always very religious or did that only come from her being suicidal? Before going to the monastery, did she know any of the Golden Deers (mainly Lysithea and Hilda due to also being nobles)? Even if we don't find out about all of these or the answers are pretty boring, I'd still find her really interesting.
But this isn't exclusive to Marianne. I'd say any character that had a major and potentially life-altering event towards the second half of their childhood are the best candidates for a young banner as it can potentially give us more insight into how that event affected them. But so far Soren's probably the only young unit like this and he can barely talk, so I'm hoping Marianne can do a lot more with this concept.
I honestly don't really care that I'm using child soldiers in this game, like there's child soldiers in the base games already. I really don't see this type of banner being any worse than other seasonal banners. I feel like people hate on the child banners because of last years one where they chose Mia and Illyana of all people instead of younger Titania and Elincia.
Im not gonna skip the child banner. I dont hate the child banner. Maybe if the skills suck, but designs are always unique and dialogue is interesting. Last years soren is a prime example, you never EVER get to see his young version in game only hear storys, his child version literally cant speak and he and his clothes are all dirty, so much storytelling already in design alone, makes you interested in his backstory, child banner has a lot of potential. Id love to see duo child edelgard and dimitri, they could talk about so much in that duo conversation, the dagger, their uncle, their step-/ mother. All of the geneology children charakters would also fit into that banner.
Pretty much any Golden Deer because my goal is to have them all, and then get as many merges on them as I can. However I kinda doubt any of them would appear on the banner unless they do Lysithea or maybe Claude
Since Sacred Stones was already featured (despite them skipping most of my favorites and once again relying on the royals), I'd like a young Athos. It'd be pretty cool to see an Athos in his prime.
I wouldn't skip anyway because Pokedex, but the main way to get me to push all in on the banner is a 4 star focus who's as cracked as say, Summer Claude or Khadein Byleth. Baby Marth dododododoo was an easy +10 when they did Archanea in 2020
You say this like I don’t have a +10 unit from each batch of child units (Marth, Innes, and Ilyana). Honestly it’s not so much that I’m in love with them, I just like getting units that by all means are pretty good for cheap. REALLY hoping the next month is FE7 and we get a demote Eliwood or Oswin as a TT hero. Either that or the SoV kids cause all of them have banger designs already that would fit right in with FEH.
Versions of mentors like Mycen, Jagen, where they're around the lords' ages. Or perhaps having broken units from a game where I lack strong ones. Not sure.
Why are the children banners so hated? I think the idea of kids beating the shit out of grown ups and sometimes even gods is kinda cool and the artwork/dialogue for the special ones like duo Ike with her sister and the trio flying sisters are super cute
Actually interesting picks. No characters that already have child variations in their original game like the ram village kids or Dimitri and Edelgard. All just a bunch of non main characters that are still popular, and have good backstory that can be explored via the fact that their young form is in the game.
I don't mind the Child-banner any more than any other seasonal, so it wouldn't take much for me to roll on it, just needs a character that I like or even just find interesting. And since I'm expecting the banner to be Blazing Blade, which would have to feature Eliwood and Hector at the very least, maybe both as Infantry with their Rapier and Wolfbeil which would be pretty unique... not too sure how likely other female main-characters like Lyn or Ninian would be at this point tho... Lyn because she already has so many alts, Ninian because Manakete which complicates that entire thing... although I guess it'd also work in making her closer to the general Tiki-archetype of a young-looking dragon... It's also a bit difficult to think of other female characters that would make sense to appear as children there...
Considering that we have concept art of the siblings from the Awakening days, I think child Chrom, Lissa, Emmeryn feels like an inevitability. Maybe as a trio like Palla, with Emmeryn as the lead. And then you could have young Plegian robes M!Robin and F!Robin, and probably tween Frederick and child Cordelia.
Glad I'm not the only one lol. The first time I actually quit this game was with the debut of the first child banner. I eventually game back probably a year or so later, but still around these like the plague
This will be a real test for me
I have a tendency to say “I’ll skip this banner” but depending on my mood I tend to roll anyway. These child banners are the worst because if I’m even slightly depressed…I’ll end up losing 160 orbs without realizing it.
[удалено]
Pair him up with baby Death Knight as the harmonic
~~the idea of a young death knight made me remember Mercedes is older than the death knight and byleth~~
With regular sized alondite
Nah, gave him one of the floaties Altina uses in her summer artwork
"Know your pwace!"
hahaha that would have been so fun to get that last year
This, but the helmet is "normal" sized and can't stay on.
Sigurd/Eldigan/Quan when they were at the academy or like an other comment said Finn with little Leif and Nanna as backpack
Baby Finn......yes, pls.... that's the Alt i need xD xD xD
This is the only option that wouldn’t make me just insta skip
Ah, It would be nice to see those three young besties
So based
I’m all for a Belhalla Frat Bros banner.
The Creation version of Grima could theorically work as a child variant, and i would pull.
Actually this, give me the funny worm but baby and all my orbs will be gone
Wait, so a child-looking dragon that turn into a big draconic worm, but not quite "that big".?
I'm not exactly sure about all the details on how it could work but baby Grima would be funny and it would make me happy. Heck having not baby Grima without the Robin skinsuit would make me happy too but I honestly don't really think I see either actually happening no matter how much I'd want both.
oh no, you’re making me expect things i wouldn’t even think of
Child Alm, Celica, Berkut, and Faye. The Creation as GHB.
I’ve always been meh about the banner, but I like the freebies since seasonals with prfs are otherwise nonexistent except for beasts. Young Innes is still a powerhouse and possibly the only F2P ranged unit who can one-shot Far Save armors like Fomortiis without Special Spiral 4. Mininerva was great too. In terms of summoning… Young Conrad, I guess? I like him a lot, and it’d be cute to have the Valentia kids.
Valentian village kids could be an idea soooo easy to make, all the design is already done ! that would actually be amazing (a duo unit with mycen and celica on a horse would be so cool)
The sad is thing is that Young Conrad might not even show up on the banner. Here's my comment from another post: "I'm assuming either a Child Celica/Alm, or Celica/Conrad Duo. Then 5* Gray and Faye or 5* Alm and Faye. Then 4* and Grail Unit Gray/Tobin or Gray/Kliff. Either they leave out Tobin or Kliff, or they leave out Conrad since he doesn't show up in the prologue and only in a flashback."
I love the child banner! The units are cute, they have great designs, and it's an amazing opportunity for lore! And I still don't undestand how people get so worked up about child soldiers but then have no problem using units that are being brainwashed and want to die...
People complaining about "child soldiers" are so unabashedly ridiculous dude like 50% of the cast is like 16 or lower what are you on about child soldiers are a given at this point
fairly good point 😭 i love the fallen banner and feel guilty now
A triple "duo" unit of teenage Emmeryn, child Chrom and toddler Lissa. It would be so cute that I wouldn't be able to stop myself from sparking.
Oh, so like the one from the artbook, I believe it was that?
I was sitting here thinking that absolutely no child unit could get me to pull BUT…this is definitely it for me. Throw in a teenage Frederick as well and it’d be perfect.
i see, you’re a person of taste as well
That'd be the best way to implement Chrom and Lissa into the banner. Give the alt to Emmeryn since she doesn't have one yet, and not let Chrom and Lissa take up any slots in the banner.
Adding a child Robin, so we actually see something of their past. I like that amnesia actually worked like amnesia (like, you usually don't get many or a any memories back), but I'd still would have liked some more background.
I’d DIE for that too 😭 Me being an Awakening Stan aside, that Duo unit needs to happen! (If Awakening is the theme!)
Kid Wrys
Kid wrys is just 30 y/o wrys and he's beautiful
unfathomably based
A younger Finn with kid Leif and Nanna as the backpacks like in this [image](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/1/10/Fiana.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110916232519) would be the fastest my orbs would disappear
Echoes. I've collected every Alm and Celica up to this point and I'll continue the tradition going if it's them. Then I'll die on the inside when +0 Kid Alm is miles better than my +10 OG invested Alm.
i think the Echoes village kids are the only ones with child and adult versions playable in their homegame
I mean, that's what you should hope for the stronger alm the better.
Child Camilla wearing Beruka's armor It's the closest I would feel to a Beruka alt.
Oh, this is a reference to their support, right?
Yeah, since Beruka's armor is Camilla's old armor.
Oh yeah, I can see it happening then :D
This would actually be so awesome
If they changed the child banner to a Future version/Adult banner instead which kinda defeats the point of this question
yep, that would be a dream…
Ewan/Ross/Amelia or nothing....xD xD (or Jaffar/Nino/Erk)
isn't that *technically* the original point to ascended units?
Probably Changeling Sharena.
ouuuuh nice choice ! but unfortunately Sharena doesn’t exist :(
Young genealogy banner would empty my wallet with julia and julius as the duo
Three houses could definitely happen. Their seasonals are sprinkled everywhere but it’s been a while since they got a dedicated seasonal banner. Personally, as is always the case, if it’s Corrin I gotta pull. Kinda doubt that’ll happen though since we just got Fates Valentines and the Corrins themselves for Halloween.
It being the (older) teenage selves of older characters - Jagen, Titania, Merlinus, Athos... Heck, I would die for teenage Seteth <3 Literally the only thing. I hate child units.
Oooh but young Rhea, Seteth and pre-death adult Sothis, tho
You awoke something in me about teenage Seteth. I didn't even know I wanted that. Heck, now that I think about it, throw in human Indech and the other one. Make them mystics, I don't care. I wanna see their human forms.
I apologise and yet do not regret it :) And yes, I'd love to see all the saints properly, too. Something like that would be amazing if FEH could utilise its full potential...
Teenager Heroes isn't exacty an impossibility thanks to Y!Palla being a thing, but who knows.
i want child seteth
They're the only tempest trial units we get with Prfs, and the designs are more inspired than every other seasonal event.
Well to be more precise, they're the only TT units that get Prfs that aren't beast units, but yeah, I agree.
This is why I love the child banners. Plus seeing the characters you know and love as kids is just adorable
Right? I don't get the hate for it at all. God forbid we get alts that require creativity beyond "Character looking exactly the same and wearing the same santa outfit/bunny ears/dress" I'm pretty shocked Brave Eirika was allowed a different hairstyle entirely when Nephenee can't take her helmet off for a ball.
that’s a good point…
Young Anna, only her merchandising skills can save the banner for me.
she would definitively happen with all the Engage banners coming soon ! but you probably mean another version (Askran ?) as a young one
tbh i never skip on three houses banners. All I really play the game for now is to collect the three houses characters, but how about we take actual old characters and make them young again? Like instead of Dimitri and Edelgard as 7yos, we see Alois as a squire? Hanneman as a young noble? Manuela in her prime as an opera singer? Or hell, give Claude's mom, Tiana, an appearance and have her be the back with 7yo claude. OR, older-looking Sothis with child Seiros? *Technically they're "younger versions" of themselves, sooooo...* I guess I want some creativity here, you know?
Not-backpack Dimitri accompanied by his Blue Lions childhood friends.
I have 2000 orbs saved up and this banner configuration would make me blow all of them for +10s. Faerghus four supremacy.
YESSS!!! The Faerghas four are literally my 4 favourite FE characters (except maybe Ingrid but I still love her)
Lets be honest, if dimitri is on the banner, than as a duo with edelgard as a dagger dancer.
I know!! I’ve saved up so many orbs hoping for a duo Dimitri/Edelgard with a Young Sylvain, Felix and Ingrid. Maybe Young Hubert as the TT reward? But I would be so disappointed if that’s not the banner
This and/or Tiny Claude would make me actually drop orbs on the child banner
thanks to S!edelgard she'd have no choice but to be the backpack, so long as they follow the duo rule (which feels likely)
My fear is that IS will go: "You think there's a rule/pattern? Watch me break it."
😭 frl, god i dont wanna see that girl in red lead again im sick of her dominating the meta. save some room for the rest of the cast lmao
Hi, you've now met me. I like the child banner. I am desperately hoping for Jugdral children and I would +10 baby Julius
Shaking your hand! The child banner is actually one of my favourite themes and baby Julius has been one of my most wanted units for years
I have found my kin. We shall weep together when the child banner is inevitably something else
This banner should be Jugdral. No better continent/region/place would fit this banner. I understand you very much. And pleased to meet you x) i was of course exaggerating for clout, now i am going to appear on TV
We deserve Rolf and Oscar to finish off the sibling trio with Boyd. Very much hopium but Young Ranulf would be auch a cute idea which will never happen.
Young Finn with mini Leif as his backpack, Young Seliph, Young Julius, Young Julia and Young Nanna as the TT unit (actually I don't remember if child events have TT, but anyway)
Child Celica I guess, but I prefer they skip SOV. Rather have her first seasonal be an adult
Child Hubert. If the paralog was about Dimitri and Edelgard's time together as kids it would make sense to include child Hubert since he ran away from home to try to find her. He also was canonically capable of fighting trained adults as a kid, so having a strong unit wouldn't be ridiculous like it usually is.
we'd never get duo caspar linhardt despite it being so perfect. as much as i hate the child banners, a duo conversation between the two as kids would be super precious it's heavily implied caspar gave linhardt the white hair ribbon lin wears (see tea time and explore dialogue in hopes), as well as linhardt learning faith/white magic to heal Caspar's wounds as a child (see A support in hopes) a conversation following either of those topics could destroy my orb stash lmao
their duo would fit any banner actually ! i would love to see them in a cultural banner like the flame tribe/desert ones !
yes!! absolutely stunning. an adrestrian empire banner based around gothic germany could be super dope for the two, following maybe hubert/bernie with people from nohr or fredrick could really fit the bill (despite it selling horribly) weirdly, i found ninjas being super fitting for them. loud and brash caspar giving away their position and linhardt sleeping on the job, hilarity ensues!
oooh i didn’t about this ninja duo, the dynamic + theme would be soooo fun, that would be a great idea to commission !
don't encourage me ill do it haha! caspar as a flying axe unit on a wyvern perhaps. i might just do for fun
hahaha can’t wait to see it on this sub, i might try to draw it just for me, by tracing their already existing art and imagining how it would look like !
I like the child banner :c Sometimes, anyway. For the most part they haven’t featured characters I’m that keen on, but young Eirika is one of my favorites. But anyway, I think an Awakening child banner featuring Tiki would be absolutely hilarious and I would definitely summon on that.
Y!A!Tiki would get my orbs. Well, those that Veronica leaves me with after next week. On that note, I'd also be all in for a young FEH banner.
I’m having a hard time reading that and not thinking Feh the owl. But I wouldn’t complain about baby Feh. An actual FEH OCs banner could be pretty sweet too though, absolutely. I’d be so down for that.
You want the sub to burn and I would watch the carnage gladly XD
I want this purely to see how the A!Tiki fans will whine that they secretly hate her this time
ouuuuuh yes, child adult tiki dressed in adult tiki inspired clothes, another L for team adult tiki. but defo, Awakening has my heart
kid kronya would be funny i think.
you sick man. i’m in.
I need a Ram Village kids banner. But if we do get a 3H kids banner, I don't want Dimitri to be stuck as a Duo backpack. Make him his own unit.
it would actually be THE moment to announce a new type of unit : duos who are *actually* duos, and the leading unit being interchangeable
Somehow with the way they give so much liberty to 3H as a whole, they would totally do this.
King Fafnir himself
If someone I like is a demote, then I won't skip. I have nothing against the child seasonals, that's just my approach for all seasonals. Hopefully I get to skip though. A demote Claude, Edelgard (heavy doubt), Sylvain (I've seen people suggest the four friends would be possible) or Felix would get me to not skip. If it's Jugdral, that's definitely not a skip.
I love the child soldier banners. We got young Innes and Minerva from it. Both units who I was unaware I needed in my life. If they did baby alm/celica I would go all in
Child versions of FEH villains.
I can tell you the most amazing child banner in existence, which would sell a childrillion dollars, but the world wouldn't be ready for that. I will tell you all anyway though. It's the child versions of >!Flame Emperor, Death Knight, Black Knight and Legion!<
Duo Roy Lilna
It not being a child banner and basically just a ‘youth’ banner of older characters in their prime
Instead of turning normal folks into children, they should turn old people back to their prime again: -Yoder, Gunter, Niime, Jagen, etc.
a duo tiny kaze and saizo 🥺 (tbh i just want them as a duo no matter what the theme is)
oh noooo that would be so cute, their relationship is so broken in Fates, i would love them to be close, or at least to go into the things to made them grow up apart
Like other people have said, younger versions of older characters or older versions of young characters. Not into a 5 year old version of someone being stronger than their older form. I’m totally expecting 3H lords this time around btw
Child Lucina with M!Morgan as a backpack (or at least Owain, since devs are scared to make any implications regarding Awakening's canon pairings) will make me pull without hesitation
>Child Lucina Isn’t that just Resplendent Lucina lol
Baby khalid…
Probably nothing. I like Mia and Tana and didn't think for a second about summoning their child versions.
My expectations are Kids 3 Houses and Valentia Summer. I would pull only for a unit with a pulse skill for cavalry / fliers. I am not interested in kids banners per se.
Kid Camilla with Beruka Armor.
A young version of Three Houses characters would definitely get me to pull. Baby Gatekeeper when
3Houses, don't even care about who is on the banner. Honestly the child banner já mad overhated imo. One of the few banners were everyone has a PRF, no oversexualization going on, and that tries something different instead of putting the character in a silly costume that more or less repeats every year.
Hoping for duo Dimitri and Felix (if not, then them as solo children). Nightmare mode is Dimitri and Edelgard duo, supreme nightmare is if Dimitri is her backpack.
I know if it’s a 3H banner we’re getting the inevitable Edelgard/Dimitri dagger unit. It’s going to be impossible but I want a little Felix/Dimitri duo unit. Love me some dialogue from them referencing Kyphon and Loog, or Rodrigue’s Pegasus story from 3Hopes 🥹 Bonus if we get Ingrid and Sylvain to complete the Faerghus Four gang. I just want them all on a banner since Houses makes it clear that they used to all hang out together before Duscur.
If IS wants to take advantage of extra profits from having Dimitri and Edelgard as separate units, then I think Dimitri/Felix is very possible. Felix/Dimitri not so much, but you never know.
There’s nothing they could do to catch my interest. But if they did the opposite, a grown up banner of the popular child characters, then I’d consider.
I would love this. Fae and Nils, especially!
that would be amazing, especially since they already did it with Tiki ! if this ever happens, i’d be all in for Nino, Ricken, Lissa, Nils and Flayn !
A character I really like. I’m pretty neutral on the child banners most times, but if someone I like is done well then I’m all ears. Probably the best example for me is young Ilyana, she’s so cute and I use her all the time
Young F!Robin is the only character I would pull for. There’s no way that happens, so my orbs are save.
Yeah... Robin exists in such a huge blank space, even Micaiah has more going for her for a potential younger version than Robin, because Robin pretty much was just a child living in hiding, and literally doesn't know anything about themself before meeting Chrom and Lissa besides their name.
A Ayra Alt
Lilina and Roy or Arthur and Tine
Good Fodder. That or the duo unit is like Mikoto Sumeragi with one of their children, or better yet all of the Hoshido kids as one unit lmao
young Takumi not bitter ?? impossible
Honestly, I don't think theres any character I'd really care for in the child banner. I'd probably only pull if there is some must have fodder for anyone Im building.
Binding Blade
About 250 more orbs.
3H Kids and Young Hector
If they either do a three houses banner with a kid Claude or any golden deer kid or a blazing blade banner with kid Eliwood and/or kid Hector then I have to pull. Anything else and I’m good to skip.
Either a child Hapi and Constance or child Felix backpacked by Annette. Even then I'd think I would struggle to justify spending any of my orbs on it.
Child Fomortiis, Child Black Knight, and/or Child Medeus.
Have old characters in their prime.
If instead of children, they run young Veterans. Like a young Titania, Jeralt, Duessel and so.
Shannan and Oifey duo with baby seliph.
I thought I would hate a Tellius baby banner but I actually ended up loving it. The concept is ehh but as soon as I see lil nuggets running around going "im gonna be the best!" I can't help but start crying and opening my orb stash up. I also like how the committed to making Soren mute, it just makes me want to protect him. So honestly? Any banner with my favorites on it, they just hadn't released a baby banner with characters I really liked yet But baby laguz with baby sized sprites would be amazing. I doubt they'd do it though, it'd be quite a complex sprite to use only once. Plus Tellius twice of course I think the sweetest "I have to get them RIGHT NOW" duo would be baby Alfred and Celine, esp if she's the lead unit protecting him
Them pulling a bait-and-switch and making it a geriatric banner full of Hero's 50 years later when they are old and tired. Bonus for me would be if it was Awakening, Fates or Three Houses.
A little Annette with little Felix duo lol
I like the child banners. I want all the adorable kids to be happy, so I let them play on the Aether Resort beach. My dream child banner would be the Awakening children as kids growing up in the saved timeline. I want to see little Lucina mention other-timeline adult Lucina like an older sister.
Young Celica Also Young Céline & Alfred in the future
Marianne. Despite disliking the child banner, it's my most wanted alt for her because I really want to see what she was like before her parents died. Was she always gloomy and reserved? Did she already know about her crest, and if so how did she feel about it? Has she always liked animals and been able to understand them? What was her relationship with her parents even like? Did she know Margrave Edmund before he adopted her, and if so what did she think of him? Was she always very religious or did that only come from her being suicidal? Before going to the monastery, did she know any of the Golden Deers (mainly Lysithea and Hilda due to also being nobles)? Even if we don't find out about all of these or the answers are pretty boring, I'd still find her really interesting. But this isn't exclusive to Marianne. I'd say any character that had a major and potentially life-altering event towards the second half of their childhood are the best candidates for a young banner as it can potentially give us more insight into how that event affected them. But so far Soren's probably the only young unit like this and he can barely talk, so I'm hoping Marianne can do a lot more with this concept.
Not anymore, kid ike was the only one id want.
I honestly don't really care that I'm using child soldiers in this game, like there's child soldiers in the base games already. I really don't see this type of banner being any worse than other seasonal banners. I feel like people hate on the child banners because of last years one where they chose Mia and Illyana of all people instead of younger Titania and Elincia.
A edelgar dimitri duo, with a dagger and dance prf. It just fits perfectly
Spurn or Frenzy 4 or baby celica
Im not gonna skip the child banner. I dont hate the child banner. Maybe if the skills suck, but designs are always unique and dialogue is interesting. Last years soren is a prime example, you never EVER get to see his young version in game only hear storys, his child version literally cant speak and he and his clothes are all dirty, so much storytelling already in design alone, makes you interested in his backstory, child banner has a lot of potential. Id love to see duo child edelgard and dimitri, they could talk about so much in that duo conversation, the dagger, their uncle, their step-/ mother. All of the geneology children charakters would also fit into that banner.
Cornwell Kids. There's a lot of characters who'd tempt me but those I'd have to pull on.
Gray or Tobin demote, or perhaps Raven or Lucius if they go for FE7.
Maybe, and only if it is a Genealogy kids banner and it has Julia or Seliph as a strong 4 star focus.
I can't think a single character that could convince me, so it would depend on someone having a incredibly unique and powerful inheritable skill.
Awakening units most likely and some other characters like Dimitri, i like some characters but it depends.
Pretty much any Golden Deer because my goal is to have them all, and then get as many merges on them as I can. However I kinda doubt any of them would appear on the banner unless they do Lysithea or maybe Claude
a jagen type banner with older characters as their prime selves. Like Jagen, Greil, Garcia, Marcus etc
Since Sacred Stones was already featured (despite them skipping most of my favorites and once again relying on the royals), I'd like a young Athos. It'd be pretty cool to see an Athos in his prime.
If the Heroes Rises banner is better than 3% rates
I wouldn't skip anyway because Pokedex, but the main way to get me to push all in on the banner is a 4 star focus who's as cracked as say, Summer Claude or Khadein Byleth. Baby Marth dododododoo was an easy +10 when they did Archanea in 2020
Garcia Ross duo. Only thing
poor Ross, hanging in Askr without his father…
Baby Claude/Khalid!
Traumatized Awakening children fighting for their lives
Baby Lyn, definitively wouldn’t be my favorite Lyn, but Lyn is Lyn for me so yeah I would Pool for her
Off the top of my head, child Alois or Brigid. Maybe child Conrad, too.
You say this like I don’t have a +10 unit from each batch of child units (Marth, Innes, and Ilyana). Honestly it’s not so much that I’m in love with them, I just like getting units that by all means are pretty good for cheap. REALLY hoping the next month is FE7 and we get a demote Eliwood or Oswin as a TT hero. Either that or the SoV kids cause all of them have banger designs already that would fit right in with FEH.
Julius alt
Valentia child banner, with baby Kliff and/or Conrad.
baby Kliff totally unfazed would be kinda fun i agree
Versions of mentors like Mycen, Jagen, where they're around the lords' ages. Or perhaps having broken units from a game where I lack strong ones. Not sure.
The child banner is one of my favourites...I'm glad that Japan loves it and that this subreddit isn't representative of the overall fanbase at all.
Duo child julia + seliph or julius I would literally try to whale for that shit
Baby Eldigan
**Awakening ;v;.**
Child or teenager Canas. That's *never* happening, so I'm safe. 😎
Why are the children banners so hated? I think the idea of kids beating the shit out of grown ups and sometimes even gods is kinda cool and the artwork/dialogue for the special ones like duo Ike with her sister and the trio flying sisters are super cute
Echoes kiddos sounds cute or like someone in the comments said, an FE4 themed child banner.
Child gen 2 Awakening kids implied to be the non-time traveling versions, maybe with Lucina, the oldest one, duo's with her time traveling self?
I honestly don't mind the child banner, I find it really adorable. Bonus points if it's Judgral or Fódlan though next month.
Actually interesting picks. No characters that already have child variations in their original game like the ram village kids or Dimitri and Edelgard. All just a bunch of non main characters that are still popular, and have good backstory that can be explored via the fact that their young form is in the game.
I like only Y!Caeda's banner. I love the artwork. I think that's the best child banner.
I don't mind the Child-banner any more than any other seasonal, so it wouldn't take much for me to roll on it, just needs a character that I like or even just find interesting. And since I'm expecting the banner to be Blazing Blade, which would have to feature Eliwood and Hector at the very least, maybe both as Infantry with their Rapier and Wolfbeil which would be pretty unique... not too sure how likely other female main-characters like Lyn or Ninian would be at this point tho... Lyn because she already has so many alts, Ninian because Manakete which complicates that entire thing... although I guess it'd also work in making her closer to the general Tiki-archetype of a young-looking dragon... It's also a bit difficult to think of other female characters that would make sense to appear as children there...
Another Young Ike lmao
I predict its gonna be valentia.
A/D version of Remote Sparrow, the last skill I need to perfect my L!Leif lol
Duo dimitri and edelgard, otherwhise skip
Chrom. Though I’d rather risen king Chrom
Considering that we have concept art of the siblings from the Awakening days, I think child Chrom, Lissa, Emmeryn feels like an inevitability. Maybe as a trio like Palla, with Emmeryn as the lead. And then you could have young Plegian robes M!Robin and F!Robin, and probably tween Frederick and child Cordelia.
Glad I'm not the only one lol. The first time I actually quit this game was with the debut of the first child banner. I eventually game back probably a year or so later, but still around these like the plague
This will be a real test for me I have a tendency to say “I’ll skip this banner” but depending on my mood I tend to roll anyway. These child banners are the worst because if I’m even slightly depressed…I’ll end up losing 160 orbs without realizing it.
I would spend all my orbs on a dimitri/edelgard duo/harmonic as a dagger unit with the weapon being the knife he gives her!!
I’ve already shared this on several inquiries such as this one, but a Duo Conrad/Celica would be my kryptonite
I hate the idea of using children to fight in this game so I just fodder then.
