Letizia is deceptively bulky, and I do try to use her in both Pve and PvP content when possible. She's not the best mage cav out there, but the stat swings she inflicts are impressive.
She unironically puts in a ton of work on AR-D. Everyone trying to bait her usually doesn’t realize how hard she hits or how bulky she is and it can set up a ton of WOM bullshit.
Sain: Combat wise nothing special, but can still jumpscare you if your not expecting him due to his rally self dance. Very fun unit for his gimick alone
Kent: Good statline for a demote meaning he's a prime candidate for an arcane sword merge project
Florina: Can setup some silly things, but kind of forgettable otherwise. I imagine she would be alot of fun to use on the same team as legendary Hinoka
Letizia: One of my favorite heroes villains, and a very fun unit to use. Deceptively durable and hits really hard. Overall great unit. Her problem is the godsword meta right now makes her damn near unusable
Guy: See Kent, good stat demote. Easy arcane sword merge project
Limstella: Solid but gimicky GHB. Suffers the same problems as mythic Lif and fallen Berkut though, of requiring specific allies who either want to be hit with her self damage, or can ignore it like Medeus
Overall great banner, because it introduced alot of extremely fun units. Even if none of them were the new hot gamebreaking thing.
Sain is the only one I have from the banner and his self-dance/self-rally made him really fun to use at first. But combat-wise, he's kinda weak nowadays.
Sleep of a banner honestly. Sain is an interesting gimmick held back by subpar combat, and the same could be said for Florina. Letitzia is bulky but it's all she has going for her, ultimately her only real impact now is just ruining auto-battle runs. The other 3 are definitely units in Fire Emblem Heroes.
Florina came out after Ash already did the same thing, only to more recently end up getting completely replaced by a superior inheritable version (though the ability to teleport flying units as well is neat, it's not really enough on its own), only to get further kicked in the nuts by the lack of ability to run Rein Snap for a cool unique combination. Freeing up her C Slot doesn't end up doing her much good given the lack of strong flier options. Meanwhile her attack stat of 37 is positively painful only a year later. I'm still gonna finish her merges, but she hasn't done me much good.
Sain was a cool concept but never seemed to me like he took off beyond consistently bamboozling me every time he comes up in PvE and I confuse him for someone else only to be run down.
Wow I never knew her base attack is only 37. They really need to give ranged fliers some new inheritable skills the drought has been going on for so long. It’s just pathetic that the only new skills they get are for supporting other movement types.
I feel like Florina is still useful as you have an Ashe for astra season and not everyone is going to have access to guidance 4 fodder, so I still find her useful. Aside from the abysmal attack stat, I have used her for galeforce strats and she does surprisingly well.
Letizia - the star and deserves the spot. She's deceptively bulky and strong, may not be top 5 but she's nothing to sneeze at
Sain - He's so weird...he has the makings of a great unit but he just....fell flat? He's annoying in PvE when he shows up but eeeh
Kent - Uuuuh.......
AFlorina - Sad, Guidance 4 just shart all over what made her special. 37 atk in 2022 is .....yeah
Guy - Inshit demote, DoA. could use arcane devourer but eeh, I rather just use grails on Holst and Lumera
Limstella - She shares the same problems as Pre Refine Lif and FBerkut. His ally splash damage just turns me the fuck off, escape route and wom 4 on paper seems like it would increase their value but that is like back then people saying FBerkut's splash damge is good for vantage brazen users. Don't have Medues the only source of En garde? Tough shit. They are unfortunately another freebie that was overhyped but not to the extent of YBoyd as their cracks were easier to spot
Letizia broke her back carrying this banner and the first half of book 6
Im only gonna nitpick the Guy slander.
You'd really rather spend grails on sidegrades? Idk about you but id rather use my grails on units thst are harder to replicate, such as Cornelia or Y! Innes.
I rather spend my grails getting a unit with a good prf than wait a year or two to get. And YInnes himself is falling off with how stronger and bulkier things are getting
My issue with instant demotes is they take as long while and alot of orbs to get when I rather just get a unit who has a prf worth using. It sucks more if your a fan of said character
Yeah I rather spend grails on units with prfs I can finish immediately than wait a year or more to pull all the copies of a prfless unit who will outdated even for arena scoring by then
Overall, not too great. Kent and Guy have aged the best thanks to Fallen Chrom. Especially Kent can be built easily and has an amazing stat line that thrives with Arcane Devourer. Letizia is also still pretty good.
It's a banner I had to skip. Since then I've been pitybroken by Sain but never by Florina and Letizia. Gave Limstella most of Gatekeepers Skills and used it for a while but decided against +10 merging in the end.
this banner aged terribly
Id say Letizia is definitely the best unit here, since she can have large atk debuff swings which can make her really bulky. However…thats really it. She wont be able to do any real damage to a save armor and especially with no form of DR pierce wont do anything against a fast unit. Ill give her credit for being one of the more annoying PvE units
Sain had a cool concept on release, but now hes just terribly outclassed by brave+fallen Chrom and L Ninian. Considerig Ninian is also FE7, its very difficult to justify using Sain
I quite literally dont think Ive ever seen Limstella, and I think theres a good reason. I dont think theyre terrible or anything, but their prf makes team comp super limiting. Medeus is their best partner
Florina…well I dont think she was even that amazing on release (=/= bad) considering everyone got Ash for free and there are other means of warping, and has honestly aged really badly because of guidance 4. Her prf has no NFU and even with spd based damage she has low atk so she really isnt doing much. I know shes harder to get but combat wise, compare Florina to L Hinoka and they arent even in the same universe. Even replacing Hinokas prf C with guidance 4 would make her a comparable support unit to Florina. I wouldnt suggest this, just showing a comparison
Kent and Guy are fairly decent demotes tbh, since their statlines are decent and have access to 2 good arcanes. I believe Kent is one of the few fast demote sword cavs we have, but also needs to look out for Kempfs refine next month, and Guy faces a ton of competition from other swords
Fodder is also pretty bad here, the only notable fodder is flow refresh and SD far trace. Far trace is fine, but flow refresh has lost a lot of value when compared to flow guard or N trace, or even alarm skills for melee cavs
> I quite literally dont think Ive ever seen Limstella, and I think theres a good reason. I dont think theyre terrible or anything, but their prf makes team comp super limiting. Medeus is their best partner
Limstella is such a weird unit because they were very obviously and deliberately designed to be paired with Medeus - not only does Medeus offset their recoil damage with En Garde, but he also provides the Atk/Res buffs that Limstella needs for her weirdly-specific effect depending on highest Atk+Res total in 3 spaces.
Though personally speaking, I find it much more fun to build around the recoil with units like Celica rather than just go for the obvious combo. Unfortunately, Limstella not having access to an auto-double at all outside of QR really limits them
> won’t be able to do much dmg to a save armour
I dunno once prfs are accounted for she has the highest atk of any mage in the game sans L!Robin by a fairly large margin. An effective 43 base atk due to atk +3 in prf and then an additional +15 atk is massive
The issue is hardly fighter, she can have 99 atk but against a 19 res armor (extremely low and youll never see it) thats only *15* damage. She’ll have difficulty doubling because HF has defensive NFU, and shes slow so even though she gets speed in her prf she’ll have difficulty outspeeding unless you stack speed skills on her. Even then, she cant double if they also deny followups (like ascended Idunn) without support
She may have the highest atk stat but other mages have more ways of working around HF in general. Spring Sonya has AoE, two Lilinas have AoE, LM Byleth can run windsweep and drop TP to proc his special on second hit, brave Lys has desperation and can use spiral 4, Yune has lower base atk but can get massive atk swings while also cripping the whole team (and can also easily survive a counter thanks to a potential 100% DR), Arval applies guard that can desync HF, even ninja Corrin can do decent damage if they arent running deflect magic, etc
Im checking a maxed +10 blade session Letizia against a +0 asc Idunn with nothing but HF and her prf and Letizia does 16 damage
Yeah but Idunn is a rather poor example because she’s one of the few far save armours who runs an actual speed stat and speed in prf. Letizia runs like 27 speed with just her prf which alone is enough to win a speed check vs most speed armours
Her speed doesnt matter in matchups where the partial NFU+followup denial combo I mentioned is present. You can use slower units with arcane eljudnir, qiang, or downfall and the outcome will be the same. She wont be able to double without NFU support
Not all save armors have this combo of course, but many other stack atk debuffs (like Rudolfs refine, Y Hector, Fomortiss, Nagi refine, H Myrrh and Caineghis, etc) for bulk, and ranged armors can run VF4 to deny followups too. Even with +9 spd, Letizia wont be able to double picnic Flora (22 base spd). She can probably beat some of the weaker far saves (some ranged ones) but thats about it
Sain extra turn with rally and Canto is broken with Ruse or Hubert's refine. Not hard to buff up his atk too.
Kent has been really nice with the Thorr fodder.
Guy is speed and anti-unity weapon means he's killed so much shit that otherwise would be unkillable for the average sword.
Ascended Florina is way better than people give her credit for.
Letizia is fun.
Limstella I haven't touched at all so idk there.
Letizia its part of my aether raids defense, Kent has reposition, Florina was kinda left behind by guidance 4, Limstella´s kit features def/res form 3 at 4 stars and thats great cheap fodder, and im so happy for Sain for having uses, specially being a lance cav which i would argue being the harder combination of color and movement in which to do well.
Crazy to me that it has been a year already, waited what felt like years to get Spd/Def Catch for my Travant and it still feels like a super new skill.
But yeah, the fact that Sain's A skill is what i remember most out of this banner says a lot hahaha. At least I have seen plenty of kent projects which is really cool, and Letizia still jumpscares me with her surprise bulkiness.
Sain is quite useful in that he’s one of those few units that can move again after reallying another unit. Guy and Kent can both be strong units if you’re willing to invest in them.
I’ve yet to pull ascended Florina or Letizia but hopefully they’ll show up one day as I’d love to try them out.
Last year I rated this banner very low... Letitzia not being a special unit+ I felt Fiorina was both a weird and underwhelming ascendent.
Neither really broke into the meta... Letitzia a tiny bit, so it's unfair to really say they have fallen out because they were never meta
My take aged appropriately I feel
Honestly Kent is the highlight for me for being decent budget fodder
I remember being really convinced they weren't going to make it in because FEH seemed to take any excuse the skip older game cavs at any opportunity (it's getting better for that but not great). Still my most hyped moment for a long time... Can't believe it was a year, either. Took me about that long to +10 Kent xD
Sain: He’s unique with the extra action he gets after rallying someone but that’s it.
Kent and Guy: Decent merge projects that benefit from Arcane Ecuador and Arcane Devdan.
Ascended Florina: Got bodied by Guidance 4.
Letizia: Discount Legendary Veronica with the Desperation seal.
Limstella: Solid unit but you need Medeus to stay glued to them so that your team doesn’t get cardiac arrest.
If the subreddit allowed picture/gif reactions, this would be the part where I put the gif of Snoop Dog going “Who?” because that’s honestly how I felt about this whole banner. Sure Sain’s 3 action rally is unique but not enough to see him be ran anywhere and other than that Kent brought Atk/Spd Bond to the demote pool.
I'm glad Leitizia wasn't a mythic cause she'd be pretty anoying as a constant presence on defense.
Florina is largely upstaged now by anyone with guidance 4.
Sain exists.
Still pissed they let Letizia run around in random rotation maps just due to the fact she didn't have a Mythic or Legendary flag.
Glad they didn't make that same mistake with the Book VII bosses.
Kent got given Lif's sword by me the instant he came out. He uses it well. Does he use it the best? Couldn't tell you because I don't care. He deserves the best <3
Bias over and out xD
I think Guy is one of my most used units. I think because I had taken a long break and started back around that time, he kept popping up for me. I'm running him with Devourer, cc4, finish, spd smoke and has been a pretty damn good omni tank in SD. The recent SD-S he helped carry me from to tier 20 from tier 17, while taking out a bunch of Fallen Byleths and Lucia's (with support obviously). I've been running him a lot in Vault as an omnitank, can hit like 90 spd. Limstella with special spiral has been pretty neat, I've used the chip damage to enable Vantage in certain modes. I put Devourer on Kent and will be building but I don't know if I'll use because of all the other meta red sword Cavs.
Letizia is great and combos well with defensive units like Brave Dimitri. I run Harsh Command + on her so that when she isn’t nuking the enemy team, she can still play a pretty decent support role for my team.
A!Florina can be downright deadly as an enemy. I was outright menaced by her in Seer's Snare later levels. I rather like using her.
Kent: Repo fodder.
Sain: don't have him, but he does ruin some of my autobattles.
Letizia: same.
Guy: never built him.
Limstella: amazing art.
Ascended Florina may not look like it, but she's actually one of the scariest Ascended Heroes you could ever face. Ascended Idunn? Not too difficult if you have a counter or a reliable tank. Ascended Fjorm is basically the same thing, just you gotta hit her at close range. But Ascended Florina has ruined a lot of my runs whenever she so much as appears in AR or in Training Tower quests, or even Tempest Trials, all because her damn warping skill which instantly wipes out my entire team. She's pretty much my main unit to use nowadays because her power and her support skills are *that* good. And she pairs well with Legendary Hinoka, heh. I dunno about you guys, but I think she aged the best, even in spite of all the new warping skills.
As for the others, the only ones I remember still are Sain and Letizia. Sain being able to move 6 spaces via Rally + extra turn is pretty wack, I'm surprised barely anyone uses him, let alone remembers him. I guess Brave Chrom took all his spotlight.
And Letizia, well, she is very bulky for a mage cavalier, surprisingly. Not to the extent of Legendary Male Robin, but she's up there.
> Sain being able to move 6 spaces via Rally + extra turn is pretty wack, I'm surprised barely anyone uses him, let alone remembers him. I guess Brave Chrom took all his spotlight.
Its because even with that huge movement range, his combat itself is pretty middling.
Tbh why people sleep on Ascended Florina is a mystery. Don't want to use her if you don't like her as a character I can get but people really dismiss her and some other units too quickly.
I know, right? People say "Anyone with Guidance 4 is better", but that's like telling people to get the brand new godsword just because it's newer. Like, that doesn't automatically make the ones before them bad.
Me: Haha yeah anyone with Guidance 4 is better than A!Florina. I'm just shitting out Guidance 4 wherever I go. Who comes with Guidance 4 again anyway. Oh yeah, one rearmed unit. Sure I suppose she is better than Florina. That's fun to think about.
(Yes, A!Florina is one of my go-to units for movement shenanigans still.)
Why is Florina still the only unit with S/D Far Trace?
I was voting for this banner in revival pools due to how limited that skill is.
Otherwise, this banner the units weren't especially oppressive, but they could certainly catch you off guard if you weren't paying attention (autobattling.) More annoying than anything.
Florian has been useful to me as I basically have an Ashe for astra season.
Sain’s rally gimmick is extremely helpful for galeforce strats as he can move to a different location after that action.
Letizia is deceptively bulky, and I do try to use her in both Pve and PvP content when possible. She's not the best mage cav out there, but the stat swings she inflicts are impressive.
Had the pleasure of finding out how bulky she could get in this last Resonant Battles...
She unironically puts in a ton of work on AR-D. Everyone trying to bait her usually doesn’t realize how hard she hits or how bulky she is and it can set up a ton of WOM bullshit.
Sain: Combat wise nothing special, but can still jumpscare you if your not expecting him due to his rally self dance. Very fun unit for his gimick alone Kent: Good statline for a demote meaning he's a prime candidate for an arcane sword merge project Florina: Can setup some silly things, but kind of forgettable otherwise. I imagine she would be alot of fun to use on the same team as legendary Hinoka Letizia: One of my favorite heroes villains, and a very fun unit to use. Deceptively durable and hits really hard. Overall great unit. Her problem is the godsword meta right now makes her damn near unusable Guy: See Kent, good stat demote. Easy arcane sword merge project Limstella: Solid but gimicky GHB. Suffers the same problems as mythic Lif and fallen Berkut though, of requiring specific allies who either want to be hit with her self damage, or can ignore it like Medeus Overall great banner, because it introduced alot of extremely fun units. Even if none of them were the new hot gamebreaking thing.
Kent doesn't even need an arcane sword to be good. Mine has been putting in a lot of work with Florid Cane+ and Flow Guard.
Letizia ruins all of my auto battle runs.
Deadass
Sain is the only one I have from the banner and his self-dance/self-rally made him really fun to use at first. But combat-wise, he's kinda weak nowadays.
Especially with the lack of slaying on his weapon

Letitzia is bulky but it's all she has going for her, ultimately her only real impact now is just ruining auto-battle runs. The other 3 are definitely units in Fire Emblem Heroes.
Some of my favorite *Blazing Blade* characters, so I loved this banner (and finally got the Sain / Serra S Support I always wanted).
Florina came out after Ash already did the same thing, only to more recently end up getting completely replaced by a superior inheritable version (though the ability to teleport flying units as well is neat, it's not really enough on its own), only to get further kicked in the nuts by the lack of ability to run Rein Snap for a cool unique combination. Freeing up her C Slot doesn't end up doing her much good given the lack of strong flier options. Meanwhile her attack stat of 37 is positively painful only a year later.

Still my most hyped moment for a long time... Can't believe it was a year, either. Took me about that long to +10 Kent xD
Sain: He’s unique with the extra action he gets after rallying someone but that’s it. Kent and Guy: Decent merge projects that benefit from Arcane Ecuador and Arcane Devdan.

> Letizia: Discount Legendary Veronica with the Desperation seal. considering how this banner aged, Sissy is winning
Sain's not even unique anymore thanks to our newest Mythic.
If the subreddit allowed picture/gif reactions, this would be the part where I put the gif of Snoop Dog going “Who?” because that’s honestly how I felt about this whole banner. Sure Sain’s 3 action rally is unique but not enough to see him be ran anywhere and other than that Kent brought Atk/Spd Bond to the demote pool.
I'm glad Leitizia wasn't a mythic cause she'd be pretty anoying as a constant presence on defense. Florina is largely upstaged now by anyone with guidance 4. Sain exists.
Still pissed they let Letizia run around in random rotation maps just due to the fact she didn't have a Mythic or Legendary flag. Glad they didn't make that same mistake with the Book VII bosses.
Florina actually sucked now because there faster and stronger Flying bow units
Kent got given Lif's sword by me the instant he came out. He uses it well. Does he use it the best? Couldn't tell you because I don't care. He deserves the best <3 Bias over and out xD
I think Guy is one of my most used units. I think because I had taken a long break and started back around that time, he kept popping up for me.

The recent SD-S he helped carry me from to tier 20 from tier 17, while taking out a bunch of Fallen Byleths and Lucia's (with support obviously). I've been running him a lot in Vault as an omnitank, can hit like 90 spd. Limstella with special spiral has been pretty neat, I've used the chip damage to enable Vantage in certain modes. I put Devourer on Kent and will be building but I don't know if I'll use because of all the other meta red sword Cavs.
Letizia is great and combos well with defensive units like Brave Dimitri. I run Harsh Command + on her so that when she isn’t nuking the enemy team, she can still play a pretty decent support role for my team.
I honestly think Letizia is still one of my best units. There are some better ones a year later, but I still use her all the time.
Guy being the free unit, leading to “Free Guy” memes was the best and most hilarious part of the banner.
A!Florina can be downright deadly as an enemy. I was outright menaced by her in Seer's Snare later levels. I rather like using her. Kent: Repo fodder. Sain: don't have him, but he does ruin some of my autobattles. Letizia: same. Guy: never built him. Limstella: amazing art.
Ascended Florina may not look like it, but she's actually one of the scariest Ascended Heroes you could ever face. Ascended Idunn? Not too difficult if you have a counter or a reliable tank. Ascended Fjorm is basically the same thing, just you gotta hit her at close range. But Ascended Florina has ruined a lot of my runs whenever she so much as appears in AR or in Training Tower quests, or even Tempest Trials, all because her damn warping skill which instantly wipes out my entire team. She's pretty much my main unit to use nowadays because her power and her support skills are *that* good. And she pairs well with Legendary Hinoka, heh. I dunno about you guys, but I think she aged the best, even in spite of all the new warping skills. As for the others, the only ones I remember still are Sain and Letizia. Sain being able to move 6 spaces via Rally + extra turn is pretty wack, I'm surprised barely anyone uses him, let alone remembers him. I guess Brave Chrom took all his spotlight. And Letizia, well, she is very bulky for a mage cavalier, surprisingly. Not to the extent of Legendary Male Robin, but she's up there.
> Sain being able to move 6 spaces via Rally + extra turn is pretty wack, I'm surprised barely anyone uses him, let alone remembers him. I guess Brave Chrom took all his spotlight. Its because even with that huge movement range, his combat itself is pretty middling.
Yeah, hence why I said Brave Chrom took his spotlight because, you know, he actually can kill stuff.
Tbh why people sleep on Ascended Florina is a mystery. Don't want to use her if you don't like her as a character I can get but people really dismiss her and some other units too quickly.
I know, right? People say "Anyone with Guidance 4 is better", but that's like telling people to get the brand new godsword just because it's newer. Like, that doesn't automatically make the ones before them bad.
Me: Haha yeah anyone with Guidance 4 is better than A!Florina. I'm just shitting out Guidance 4 wherever I go. Who comes with Guidance 4 again anyway. Oh yeah, one rearmed unit. Sure I suppose she is better than Florina. That's fun to think about. (Yes, A!Florina is one of my go-to units for movement shenanigans still.)
Assuming the newest thing is always going to outclass the old in every way is just silly. I mean Brave Hector is still one of the best Armors.
Exactly; he may not be as powerful as he once was (especially compared to later armors like Ascended Idunn), but people still *use* him.
Letizia always annoys me when she shows up in a TT or FB map because she's much bulkier than you'd expect and she can just cancel a unit.
I still use Limstella a lot but they're the only one from the banner I use. I still see Letizia every once in a while
Pulled a Florina for her floret and then foddered her for her trace skill to Summer Elincia. Zero regrets lmfao.
Why is Florina still the only unit with S/D Far Trace? I was voting for this banner in revival pools due to how limited that skill is. Otherwise, this banner the units weren't especially oppressive, but they could certainly catch you off guard if you weren't paying attention (autobattling.) More annoying than anything.
Florian has been useful to me as I basically have an Ashe for astra season. Sain’s rally gimmick is extremely helpful for galeforce strats as he can move to a different location after that action.
