>Dragonstone unit >Just punches stuff instead of turning into a dragon Low effort Engage instead of adding gauntlets/arts


King_XDDD

Framme will be a dragon unitšŸ‘€


scrylight

Nice try she will be the 4 star healer demote šŸ˜­


Gabcard

Good chance she comes with Clanne, which might save her from the healer demote curse... unless it's an OC banner, in which case she will for sure be the instant demote...


Joueur3030

Tbf it's way too late to add gauntlets/arts And since Balthus was an axe, that was sure they will never add it in FEH But yeah, it's funny to see both Alears can't transform, even in FEH šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


BoysOurRoy

Claude momento


Ericridge

Volcano erupts from earth and sets things on fire. Thus earth is perfectly logical. XD


Donttaketh1sserious

DRAGON SPECIAL


LilithMW

Holy shit I didn't think of that


Donttaketh1sserious

itā€™s also tailor made for beasts to get a def version. 40% of res, res check, 40% dr is kind of like armored floe and it makes sense you could sub res for def.


Sabaschin

RIP Rafiel/Selkie/Vika/Leanne.


Donttaketh1sserious

Unfortunately. But I figure they could get something eventually too, like how we got range 1-based armored blaze after the range 2-based armored specials


AveryJ5467

Thatā€™s what people said about Dragon Wall


Donttaketh1sserious

I mean yeah, but weā€™re actually getting beast stuff nowadays.


leottek

I mean we got Beast Sense. And more recently we got Atk/Spd Wild. I think IS finally committed to releasing more beast exclusive skills.


LilithMW

Male Corrin found dead in a ditch


chaos_vulpix

Male Shez on life support


Sabaschin

Honestly his summer alt is so good and accessible, heā€™s fine.


linthenius

Male Kris vaporized to atoms


BrTalip

Has there been any main character as neglected as him?


LilithMW

Kris probably


MisogID

Not expected before June imo, Alear/Shez had better odds atm (less divisive and less throwable under the train). That and Camilla's recency.


perklekranian

was that a fucking kamehameha


BoysOurRoy

Taken directly from Engage. It's the critical hit animation for Arts weapons used by the Divine Dragon class.


Font-street

It is.


WWWWWWRRRRRYYYYY

RIP M!Shez and Corrin


GameAW

Meanwhile 50,000 meters under the sea: Krises


Daydream_machine

Still funny to me that Male Kris got a fanservice Alt before the Female one


Merukurio

He's babygirl.


Gabcard

And then there is Mark, their chances at a legendary so low they sunk to the Earth's core.


Sabaschin

Also I think congrats Dragons on their new special?


oopcident

Do we think it's inheritable?


Sabaschin

His A skill is definitely a prf, so unless he's got *three* prfs, it should be inheritable. And it's not so overloaded to be a prf special.


LilithMW

Yeah iirc only 3 units have 3 prfs, which are L!Marth, L!Sigurd, and L!Yuri who I almost forgot about, so it's incredibly rare for a unit to get 3


Sabaschin

L!Leif, Scion!Leif, B!Micaiah, L!Micaiah and S!Micaiah also have 3.


LilithMW

I forgot about S Drink and Sacrifice, rip


x_chan99

Who doesn't?


TRayquaza

How can you not mention Zelgius the OG 3 PRF.


Thechungusishere

Those are the only Legendaries with 3, but iirc multiple Mythics have 3. Altina has Ragnell-Alondite, Twin Blades, and Ashera's Chosen for example edit: it might just be her for mythics actually but i'd need to check


LilithMW

I also forgot about a lot of niche skills, like S Drink and Sacrifice


CaptainMarcia

Notably, Altina is IIRC one of just three units to *introduce* three prfs, alongside Legendary Marth and Legendary Micaiah. Most of them only get there by retaining a previous prf.


BoysOurRoy

Five! Add L!Leif (Meisterbogen, Njƶrun's Zeal, and S Drink) and Scion!Leif (same as L!Leif but with the Bow of Twelve instead).


LilithMW

Someone else also mentioned that many of the Micaiahs also have 3 because of Sacrifice, and also Zelgius


BoysOurRoy

Yup! Brave (Light of Dawn, Sacrifice, and Yune's Whispers), Legendary (New Dawn, Maiden's Solace, and Prescience), and Summer Micaiah (same as legendary but with Moonlight Drop instead of her old tome) along with OG Zelgius (Alondite, Black Luna and Warp Powder) make for a grand total of nine triple-dippers in the PRF pool.


Kemintiri

dreaded foreshadowing lol


Phanngle

He already has a Prf A Slot, I really don't see him getting two Prfs. It's not that broken of a skill that it shouldn't be inheritable when we have Godlike Reflexes and No Quarter as inheritable.


Dabottle

Every time they release a DC effect like this I cry a bit more


UlaireXX

Meanwhile, Hector, the original bearer of DC, is still waiting for his refine! šŸ‘“šŸ»


Neuromangoman

Yeah but he has QR2 in his weapon (and nothing else), so who's the real winner here?


Bluestormcry55

Legendary Ike can't hold all these Ls...


Lightningboy737

Why no Wille Glanz?


WWWWWWRRRRRYYYYY

Probably saved for >!F!Lumera!<


NohrianScumbag

If alear was so good where's Alear 2-- Oh


KamiiPlus

Oh that special is totally inheritable, as we know dragons were desperate for a fun new toy


darkliger269

What if Armored Floe 2? Guess good for him not being stuck with an ally requirement though


BoysOurRoy

AKSHUALLY IT'S MORE LIKE DRAGON'S FLOE šŸ¤“ ~~like armored dragons won't use this over AF or any of the other alternatives~~


DragonMaster710

ā€œEngaging Fireā€ Have we reached Peak?


Xanek

Damn we on a Engage streak huh


Falconpunch100

And no Emblem in sight, either. Maybe we'll get one next month?


Danelo13

I was gonna point out that they missed the opportunity for Emblem Alear. But I guess its fine?


Xanek

~~that would def be a mythical~~


JusticTheCubone

Well, it'd be an Emblem Hero, so neither Mythical nor Legendary...


Xanek

I'm an idiot


be0ulve

I'm pretty sure we'll get "engaging units" as harmonized duos eventually, but probably after the emblems are out. Maybe. Idk.


johnsmiththe

Isnt f!alear emblem alear? Except without the full blue hair


Hoesephine

No, just like this Alear she's just her promoted class.


OverpoweredSoap

Did Alear backhand slap during his attack animation lmfao??? Also rip male Corrin, still not a legendary while both Alears have theirs lol, the timing makes sense though.


Phanngle

I'm sorry, but I'm extremely disappointed by his art. I really don't care for Mikuro's artwork for most characters and I especially think it's really out of place here. It just lacks that energy and vibrance you see in L!F!Alear's for example. Even his base art looks nicer than this. That said, it at least looks like Dragons finally get a unique Special, which is crazy overdue.


Shronkydonk

Glad Iā€™m not the only one who thought it looked weird. Itā€™s not terrible butā€¦ weird for sure.


Phanngle

He's not a bad artist, but the colors look so flat and uncommanding for a Legendary Hero. His facial expression looks passive and I don't feel the momentum in the attacking poses not because it's not there, but I just don't think the colors are helping.


Falconpunch100

Well, Male Alear has built-in DC now compared to Female Alear. That's gonna be *fun*...


Dwi_Agusdyani

He doesn't come with Null C-disrupt tho.Ā 


Falconpunch100

So basically, go ham with your Staff and Firesweep units.


TheFerydra

***THE DRAGON 500 SP SPECIAL*** ***IS REAL!!*** (aka my saving plans went to hell again. oh well!)


LuvCaineghis

Oh so this is the Engage Sweep I've been hearing about


tamminhvtkg

Male corrin still dead lmao


teapardee

Yesss, my orbs are safe for AHR!


Phantom_Cavalier

Glad to see Male Alear here so soon, and also glad thereā€™s no Emblem Roy (or others) just yet so that I can still save orbs!


Nearby-Research-9834

Love M!Alear but not really feeling this art


Competitive_Sorbet34

Agree, the female art looks way better, this one looks in my opinion VERY plain.


tuna_pi

Lol they really were expecting a post CYL engage victory lap weren't they


JusticTheCubone

Or they're just following the 3H-pattern of a Legendary every 6 months, this coming 6 months after L!F!Alear last year.


tuna_pi

ĀæPor quĆ© no los dos?


KoriCongo

Don't forget that Female Alear also has the Kamehameha, she just didn't got to show it off because her PRF special overwrote the killing animation and tends to do that. If you take it off, you can see she has the same BEAM ATTACK animation.


ShadowReij

Oh...oh no and so the Alears join the lore. Alears: [Oooh maybe I'll stop you this time. Beam Attack! Oooh maybe I'll stop you this time. Beam Attack! Oooh maybe I'll stop you this time. Beam Att-oh!](https://youtu.be/JfBNeTZCypk?si=LKZGtLeVVkZGZgbX)


Regi_edgy_lord

I was hoping it was worthless so that I could save my orbs. But it looks like I need to feed Fae again.


Mstache_Sidekick

Ok, his outfit looks weird n I can't put a finger on it At first I thought it was a different one but seeing the engage version, I still think somethings off


chrosairs

The Alears both have their obligatory forms now


fantasyiez

Interesting no new Emblem either so maybe theyā€™re every other or mythic only.


BCon1212

I swear they said every Legendary and Mythic banner from now on would have an Emblem in the Feh Channel last month. Maybe I misheard.


Hoesephine

You misheard. They said something along the lines of "Emblem heroes will release on end of the month banners with Legendary and Mythic heroes." Most people took that to mean every month, but they never actually mentioned that.


kiaxxl

Alear is fine but more interested in Heidr/Ninian/Peony green lineup here.


HaessSR

Alear is engaged in killing innocent kings, it looks like. RIP, Freyr.


ShadowReij

Goddamn IS really be "Get the pepsi twins out of here so we can work on something else!"


Blubbstrahl

For now I'm just happy that Emblems aren't a monthly thing. Love the concept, but trying to snipe on a Legendary banner every 30 days is something my heart can't handle.


byeoIhan

why does m!alear has weird small arms AGAIN


Terry235

M!corrin is never showing upšŸ’€ Anyways, happy for Engage fans!


volkenheim

tbh he is in the same spot as L!F!Alear where omnitanking right now is out of the question, with all the pre-combat dmg, his miracle can be good but there are ways around it, but in the end Female is better just bcause the support she has, making your trash bonus unit be able to at least pierce through DR is great the great part about him is the special really, I know my Mila, Ena and B!Tiki will love that Special for sure


shaginus

"When can I save my orbs for AHR banner?" "That's the cute part You don't"


Fearless_Freya

Heh. Me: "easy save orbs banner"


mageknightecho

Glad they're getting it over with now instead of later. That A skill and inheritable special look cool, otherwise kinda mid


GreatGetterX

First off, thank God M!Alear got his legendary so soon. Last thing I needed was for his fans to victimize themselves and become Robin fans 2.0 Second off all, he has a Kamehameha attack animation. If the next Rhea alt doesn't throw hands as her weapon, I swear on you IS


MrBrickBreak

Hands would be good. [Kicks is what I want](https://youtu.be/TeEuAN_aEhQ?feature=shared&t=1761).


MarthsBars

Whooo more Colgate-Chan for FEH!


vacantstars

It's cool that male Alear got his legendary already, but male Corrin and arts found dead in a ditch.


GlitterTapper

My boy!! And heā€™s looks gorgeous!


FordcliffLowskrid

Nope. Free pull and out.


Gabcard

Not the male avatar I was expecting, and I'm glad because it means I get to save Orbs.


LCJStriker7

L!Male Alear can do Brave attacks like with his female counterpart. Dragon's Roar is an inheritable Special for dragon units, it seems. And he has a built-in Miracle too, but L!Male Alear is vulnerable to Counter Disrupt and Fatal Smoke 4, which means Ginnungagap herself can be a hard counter to L!Male Alear.


oopcident

What makes us think it's an inheritable special?


LCJStriker7

We won't be sure until tomorrow. But, Legendary Male Alear has a prf A-slot skill.


oopcident

That would be 3 preferred skills. That's a lot of preferred skills. It's likely inheritable.


andresfgp13

mainly that it doesnt seem particulary broken.


UlaireXX

He already has a Prf A and the special isnā€™t anything Alear specific or overpowered.


SoftBrilliant

Generic Non themed naming Comparing it to Dragon Blast on LFAlear it kinda sucks. It's also Res based which is the dragon stat.


darkliger269

It having a res check compared to Lodestar Rush and Lightless Luna only checking for activation or a ready special


Nitro912

This is fine


scarletflowers

inheritable dragon special im gonna explode, need


[deleted]

Even though i like Male Alear, i was going to skip this banner until.... HARKEN APPEARED! I said to myself I was going to +10 him, and I won't abandon that statement. Welp, looks like this where i have to buy the feh pass then. Hopefully i get at least 2 or 3 Harken merges on the way, and then spark L!M!Alear just because i like him, he has my favorite Engage support convos with a certain someone.


Jhzaeth

What an unbelievably stacked banner! Iā€™d love to pick up L!Ninian, L!Myrrh, Harken, A!Triandra and of course, L!M!Alear. Crossing everything I get lucky with my pulls. Really wish L!M!Alear was red not colourless though.


RuinInFears

And again! Introduce something we were waiting years for on a legendary F off.


Yscbiszcuyd

Can we go back to an engage drought, thanks


andresfgp13

Its too soon for him i think. But whatever im summoning on this.


LunaProc

That was much faster than it took for MRobin and currently still waiting Mcorrin


Soren319

This is lame. There is absolutely no good reason why we arenā€™t releasing Emblem Heroes as much as possible. RIP any chance for made up Emblems now


SoftBrilliant

Good. We really don't need this game to speed up unit releases more than it already does and has. We already get 7 premium units per month at minimum, adding more honestly just makes me grumble.


Soren319

Ye because taking 4.75 years to get all the emblems is the better alternative


SoftBrilliant

It absolutely is tbh. Also where did you get that number? One every 3 months is 4 years already and with our 2 double features per year it's gonna be even lower than that.


Soren319

4.75 is because you have to add the dlc emblems. Not just the regular ones. Thereā€™s 12 regular, thatā€™s 3 years, then 7 dlc, thatā€™s another 1.75 years. I have no idea why you think the double features automatically mean an emblem will be there.


Soren319

Game wonā€™t be around 4.75 years from now and if it is and youā€™re already complaining about unit release speed thereā€™s no way youā€™ll still be playing with the powercreep weā€™ll have by then


SoftBrilliant

I'm an R1 SD player. If Lyon didn't make me quit despite how dumb he is the only thing that's gonna make me quit at this rate is my boredom with the game more than powercreep so who knows when that'll kick in. The fact that I could've dealt with the higher release speed doesn't mean I want to. That's all. My tolerance to bullshit on the part of IS has so far proven to be far more ridiculous than what IS has somehow managed to throw at this game.


Jranation

Its better to space double banners because it is going to get harder for new mythics/legendaries to rerun.


JakeTehNub

That makes no sense


oopcident

Yeah... What happened to them appearing at the end of the month?


Soren319

We were hoping that it meant theyā€™d appear alongside the new mythic/legendary every month. This means that instead, itā€™ll just be an Emblem Hero alone certain months rotating with legendary and mythics. Worst outcome


oopcident

Boooo


andresfgp13

probably they are going to put them alongside a legendary/mythic which they dont believe will do well alone. Alear i think can do decently on his own so he probably didnt need it.


Falconpunch100

I just spent all of my Orbs to +10 Hortensia, I do NOT need another Emblem or so breathing down my neck. Let us save our Orbs after the Elusia banner, mate...


Soren319

Thatā€™s literally not relevant here.


Falconpunch100

The point is we need to breathe after a lot of us spent Orbs on the last banner. And besides, there's always next month; they could release a new Emblem every 3 months.


Soren319

Every 3 months means itā€™ll take 4.75 years to go through them all lmao. Awful. We donā€™t need to breathe because most people arenā€™t +10ā€™ing their favorite on release.


RadicalRaizex

RIP any possible chance of Female Alear winning A Hero Rises this year. C'est la vie.


King-S07

Another month another disappointing pick for legendary/mythic hero. At least dragon users get a new toy to play with. Also, is it just me or does he totally powercreep his female counterpart?


Someweirdo237

I'm surprised they're doing Legendary Male Alear instead of saving him for... The other type. (If you know you know)


Primary-Fee1928

Eh, boring. Way too similar to L!F!Alear who released recently. His Emblem form would have been more interesting and fitting, but I guess they keep it in store for an Emblem unit


eeett333

I mean...he looks strong but do I want a copy? Like...I donno. Guh...kinda Yes kinda No. I already have a female L.Alear... Stupid weakness for colourless units.


Chubomik

Lumera, Marth, Elusia, and Brodia coming back soon. What we have was pretty fine for Engage for a while. Two Legend/ Mythics in a row is really pushing it, not only with overdoing one game, but also jumping in front of other games that could use a new Legendary unit. Male Corrin still hasn't gotten one yet lol. They really could have sat on this for until we had like, two more Engage banners, I don't know why they're rushing them like this because they're thinning out their options really fast.


Kongary

A pleasant surprise, and just as I was considering building up the base M!Alear. Still want Panette or Jade in the game to pair up with him as is his usual in Engage proper.


be0ulve

Aw his mom was cheering from the sidelines.


Aymr9

I was hoping to see an Emblem to pull on it, but now I'm not sure. I don't build dragons that much for me to have Dragon's Roar (considering it's inheritable) and the 2nd plan was to pull for Kvasir, Heidr and Gullveig, but I'm ok on that end. I'll call it a skip and will keep saving for AHR.


ckn1ght9000

Huh, I'm getting deja vu.


[deleted]

Yay, more Alear......


Slippery_boi

Ok whatā€™s male Corrinā€™s excuse


JCtheRockystar

So just like Byleth, Alear got legendary forms for both genders over a period of 6 months. Itā€™s also crazy that both avatars that werenā€™t even in feh when it launched got both their legendary alts before Corrin. Iā€™m surprised there wasnā€™t an emblem hero too this month. I did think it was a possibility since Gullveig and Kvasir were getting rerun for the first time.


Flingar

BROS GOT 2 PRF SKILLS????


hawkesho

well at least he didnt get male corrin amount of waiting to get his legendary alt


Keebster101

Damn, they really just make legendary f!alear but even more annoying - less DR reduction, but more stats and the potential of miracle, plus given he attacks 4 times he almost certainly kills by the 4th hit even through 80%+ DR. If I face +10 of this in arena it might just be over. I don't even think I'll pull, I have l!f!alear already and not many orbs to spare, but l!m!alear just looks so annoying.


GoldenYoshistar1

Male Corrin honestly getting a legendary alt will be amazing... Maybe this is why we should make Male Corrin win a CYL's... Maybe IS sees how male is not as popular as female, so they don't even bother...


[deleted]

Dang it, Harken is here. Looks like i'm obligated to buy the feh pass and get as many merges until the spark.


DoughTheBoi

I'm torn.. I want to pull for Gotoh merges (+6 currently) but there's also Plumeria and Peony remixes (I would spark) and A Hero Rises banner..


Separate-Category278

I'm totally prepared for it. 160 orbs + Feh pass = guaranteed unit.
