Sooooo... Another Eirika then? That's... weird... Also other than their legendary weapons, the skills on these don't seem too OP (Maybe Eirika's Swift Sparrow, but come on, Red Tome Exp? Who wants that?). Wonder if these will all demote... Or more than one of them at least...
Edit: Wait, Myrrh's a flier?!?! Um, yeah she won't demote... Also holy crap. Her dragonstone already seemed to be OP. I mean, built in umm.. Earthsweep I guess?
Well there goes the plan of L'arachel being the first healer I invest in.
I mean, I guess I can continue to plan for that. All the more reason to continue voting for her.
Myrhh is pretty silly strong. That's a nice weapon, but she has Hone Dragons. They released Hone Dragons. Dragon Emblem is go.
Eirika could be scary with innate +7 atk/spd on full HP units. And Desperation. And range. Like, that's a pretty solid way to erase full HP units, especially because that stacks with any hone buffs. Edit: Shit she's mounted, yeah, broken as fuck.
Okay, so this banner overlaps with the anniversary events, right? Because I need to hoard my orbs and see how many I can blow on Myrrh for that sweet, sweet hone dragons and a probably-OP unit to replace my weak Fae.

Myrrh is my punishment for refining TWO of Fae's weapons :P I mean, I knew she'd be on this banner too...
Myrrh's weapon says 'if foe's distance = 2...', but doesn't mention distant counter. Does that seem odd to anyone else?
I think I want Myrrh and Eirika, but I don't think I'll be leaving either of them with their default weapons.
It's a weird misleading wording. It's a refine you can get with Light Breath+ and Dark Breath+ as well. It basically means if you attack an archer, mage, or healer (that is, someone with a range 2 weapon) you deal damage based on their lowest stat instead of automatically doing magic damage.
Myrrh's weapon says 'if foe's distance = 2...', but doesn't mention distant counter. Does that seem odd to anyone else?
I think I want Myrrh and Eirika, but I don't think I'll be leaving either of them with their default weapons.
Myrrh's weapon has 19 effective attack and acts like permanent wary fighter if her defense is high enough (well, unlike WF it lets her double someone, but presumably her speed is garbage and the only units slow enough to double have too high of defense). Like Warlock said, it's the same thing as the refined breaths where "foe's (attack) range = 2," so you can slaughter mages/Brave Lyn vs. their typically low DEF and still slaughter melee enemies vs. their typically low RES.

I think I want Myrrh and Eirika, but I don't think I'll be leaving either of them with their default weapons.
I think it's meant to take effect if you give her distant counter. Otherwise I don't see the reason for the wording either.
Also Myrrh might be stealth bad?
Flying Green Dragon is a goddamn terrifying checklist of horrible traits that need to be fixed via skills, not to mention the BST hit she's taking by not being infantry. For those keeping track at home, that means she's SUPER weak or neutral weak to literally every single Dragonkiller effect, oh, AND IS ALSO WEAK TO BOWS. While having a lower BST. Meaning, while you can't fix the Green Dragon typing, you have to stick an Iote's shield on her, either in the A slot or as a Seal. Which basically forces you to ditch her weapon for Lighting Breath, so you can stuff Iote's Shield, Guidance, and Hone Dragons on her.
At least her weapon hints at her having completely insane defense. I mean it's gotta be in the 40-46 range or why even bother with that inane requirement of 5 more defense than everyone else? Also why doesn't her weapon give extra defense, instead of attack then?
But on the other hand her crazy typing opens up the possibility for ARMORED DRAGONS and I need that in my life yesterday.

Yeah but no one runs Falchion because it's garbage :P Naga tome could be a problem but at least that's green vs green instead of red vs green. And as you said, if you wanted to fix her archer weakness too she's an AMAZING candidate for Iote's Shield (the skill or the seal) thanks to her obviously huge defense stat (presumably or else her weapon is actually garbage). She can also run Guidance seal for dragon teleporting shenanigans
Edit: Why would you have to ditch her weapon for Iote's Shield?

You forgot the worst thing about her. Her dragon sprite isn't adorable like the superior green dragon.
Edit: Why would you have to ditch her weapon for Iote's Shield?
He's assuming the breath wording mean "an enemy 2 squares away" and thus requires Distant Counter to ever apply instead of the actual "ranged enemy," and then I think he's saying if you wanted DC/Iote's Shield/Guidance/Hone all together, Guidance would take the seal slot and Iote's would take the A-slot, meaning you'd need Lightning Breath to DC (not that DC would matter particularly outside of the misinterpretation of her existing weapon).
Anyway, I don't think Iote's Shield is necessary outside of arena defense, because if you're playing you can always steer the AI into someone else like A. Tiki who will murder Brave Lyns. I hadn't considered the lower BST, though I guess on the bright side she can benefit from Airzura's Hone Fliers or Goad/Ward.
The real crisis here is that even if I pull her I don't have a spare B.Ike to give her steady breath alongside Quick Riposte and Ignis. Nevermind, she can't inherit it anyway.

Hm, I was secretly hoping Myrrh would be red so I could have a tanky red flier, but at least now I can focus on Tiki! Also looks like I'm in Bartre city again...

So yay. Looking at her wiki page, I guess her weapon is basically similar to a Wo Dao? Curious if they'll give it anything else to distinguish it from that one.
Edit: Random aside since thinking about her weapon reminded me, I wanted to try and theorycraft up what a Brave Robin could look like at some point. I am thinking of giving him Solidarity as a new B skill. Currently thinking "If an adjacent ally initiates combat, they receive special cooldown trigger -1." Then I'm thinking of giving her (because screw it, female Robin all the way) Drive Def 2 and maybe Atk/Def Bond 3. And Rally Spectrum along with some powered up form of Ignis.
I know their thing for antagonists is the GHBs, but could use a few more of them for the heck of it. Maybe some minor less-evil ones like Mustafa or something.
we have plenty of robin. I want dragons. myrrh is just a start. so we can compromise and go for grima robin. I also want god dragons like Mila and naga. lastly lilith cause that is just the cutest dragon.

I mean, I suspect that's why female Robin was already a GHB :P

I'm happy for more Sacred Stones, but I'm worried that they did all the highly anticipated ones already and thus they won't feel pressure to make more any time soon. Like, who's gonna anchor the Duessel banner? Although I guess Cormag's got a surprisingly large following. Maybe spreading them out is a good idea, though. There's a lot of Sacred Stones GHBs yet to happen. Is it controversial to say that Sacred Stones and the Radiant games are the only Fire Emblems to have more than one good or memorable villain? Probably...
Random banner thoughts: Not sure how I feel about fanfic mounted mage Eirika stealing Gleipnir out from under Knoll/Ewan. Dark magic from her, really? Also, is anyone else getting "Demotable Unit" vibes from L'Arachel despite her legendary weapon? I guess it'd be good to have a Light tome user at lower rarities... I'm really excited about seeing the new story chapter maps and seeing if I can remember the game chapters they're based on. Also, this is a whole story chapter, so yay for 20 whole orbs instead of 12. Oh hey! Myrrh's dragon form is a pretty faithful recreation of the game:
Hmm. I like Myrrh, and I will pull for her a bit, but the others don't do much for me. Wish Larachel was a healer actually. How can she compete with The Reinhardt...?
Eiricka looks strong but not canon. Meeeh.

If we get an in-story explanation for mage Eirika I'd be ok with it. Could be interesting.
I'm at 351 orbs now. There's the flying hone dragon bait, and the legendary hero banner bait I gotta resist until 2/9 when the special heroes banner comes.

Spent most of yesterday knocking out the hard difficulty chain challenges. Got all of the main story ones done, now need to finish the paralogues (which maybe I can get done today given there's nothing else to spend stamina on yet anyways... perhaps tomorrow too since I'll want to save any new pulls for Friday/Saturday to level). Probably overestimated how many feathers I'd get, but still getting a lot. Once I get up to 40k I should be safe to promote and merge my last Robin (I want to keep 20k free for Lyon in a few days). The main story ones got me ~10k so paralogues should help there. I technically also have most of the normal difficulty missions too, though I gotta be careful not to accidentally do any I'd like to safe for SP farming (and the feather rewards are pretty meager anyways).
Later on I can start working on the lunatic difficulty ones. Given a few of the hard difficulty ones gave me a tiny bit of trouble (nothing too bad, but my main team didn't last the whole way through some of them :P) I imagine they will be a little trickier. But still doable (again, weapon refine Genny is a pro here... she was able to pick up some slack with a little dancing when I lost either Robin or Sonya since she does about half as much damage, some splash damage, and doesn't take counterattacks).
Lately it’s been taking me 120 orbs or more to get the hero I want. Flying home dragon would be awesome for me, but unsure if I’m willing to chase, what I might be missing on the next two banners or how many orbs we may get be getting.
TT is worth 42 I think and the new month quests ring in around 20?
Hone Dragons is nice and all, but unlike the other emblem teams they don't have a mage capable of holding a bladetome to really break the skills the way everyone else can. Most of the dragons can't even get their speed high enough to be particularly scary with a +6 buff besides FemCorrin and Fae.
4896 is my highest arena score so far I think but I doubt it will stop me from getting booted from tier 19 like usual. Currently rank 3956 but lets see if that holds up at all.
Nephenee, Normal Girl, All-Breaker Hector, Fury + Desperation + Brash Assault Micaiah. Actually ended up being a squad I really liked as it has some nice player and enemy phase options and both physical and magical damage going on. If I could get some tactics for the C skills it could be even better.

Yeah TT is worth a lot. Think you'll also get a couple from Lyon GHB as well. And yeah, I have had mixed luck on banners. Sometimes I'll be super lucky and get what I want right away, sometimes it takes like 100-300 orbs.

That should be high enough to keep you in tier 19 I think. That's pretty close to what I was getting before I started mass promoting Robin (and got the Fjorm bonus). Might not be enough for 20, but you shouldn't drop to 18 at least. At least, I don't think so. Fjorm does weird things to the usual thresholds as people earn more points than usual with her.
Just finished up a deathless run myself and got 5008 which is pretty good. Not sure if it will keep me in tier 20 or not yet. I'm like rank 2000/4000 to drop down or so right now. May try again after I get Robin to +10 to see if that makes a difference in getting higher point teams (been kind of unlucky with a lot of 708-711 range this time... Last season I was seeing as high as 722)
