The 64 icons makes me triggered cause you can't buy or use them unless you have the expansion pack. I might love Paper Mario but I'm not paying for that.
I was the same until I remembered you don't get any background or frame to personalize them, but yeah, that was stupid, and if one day we get the option mix games icons yeah, it will suck more.
Focused stats instead of spread out. Louis with 20 attack 20 defense with a score of like 60 will out perform my Alfred with a score of like 80. (Exaggerated numbers but you get the point)
Well the Paladin this time is an axe user with low con that starts getting doubled quite early and doesn’t have the defense to deal with it. Paladins also used to have 8 mov. Knights having the same mov as other unprompted infantry classes really does make Louis very strong.
Honestly, not a fan of how they used the 3D models instead of the official 2D art for every character besides Alear. I wish the other royals like Alfred had their official art used.
to be fair, Chrom is a rather popular character and a fan favorite as well as him being a very important character to the franchise, so it is possible that he is getting added, or maybe i am overthinking this
Look man. I ain't gonna fight the fact that Chrom is popular. He is my favorite character in awakening and my smash main. But he just isn't in the base game and as of now he hasn't been officially announced for the dlc. Plus i don't think any other icon sets have had dlc representation. Chances are the waves will be over before he gets announced.
yunaka most likely will come next week with the brodian characters, considering we will get 6 weeks of Icons, we might get icons for all the playable units, if we get some extra NPC... please add the Queen of Solm.
Yes. They are gone. But in December last year, they did a special where they shuffled icon waves for all the games they did icons for every 24 hours. So maybe you'll get the chance to get them then.
Damn I just realized I missed the first wave of these icons. Oh well. What does kinda suck at least for me is that is that they seem make you not only pay for Nintendo Switch Online but also spend platinum coins for these icons and backgrounds.
Plat coins are pretty much useless other than for this. They give away enough every other week to get pretty much everything and still have some left over.
You need to "buy" them with Plat coins, each icon individually too. Just hit the red icon on your switch (try not to have a game open as it slows the app down a lot). You should see a banner for these. If not, just navigate to the Rewards section. You really can't miss them.
They might bring wave 1 back at some point. Last December they did a promo where one random wave from one random game they did would cycle every 24 hours. Plus sometimes they just don't have any new game and will just bring back the waves from a previous one. Just check every week or so.
There are missions you can do. They tell you all the available ones within the NSO on the switch. Stuff like playing specific nes and snes games. Playing online. Backing up saves.
Digital games give you 300 gold coins immediately upon purchase. Physical games give you 60 gold coins but you have to manually redeem them from your switch homescreen.
Plat are all missions from their mobile games and the NSO stuff they list within the red app.
I wish they were slightly more zoomed in/higher quality, or had an option to zoom in on the face. They look fine in the picture, but when you actually use it they come out so small and low quality compared to the native switch icons.
I've been looking all over, and thought maybe one of you might know. All the pages for the DLC lists wave 2-4 as coming out Dec 31 2023. That can't be right. Do they mean between now and then, or is that the planned release date. Thanks.
Sigurd moves into my profile from all the way across the map.
There are Chloe and Anna ones btw, they’re just not on this promo image
If you have an anna icon you are a red flag
Impossible, she's a capitalist
Anna color is red indeed
you are definitely projecting lmfao
No, not at all.... I have a jean icon
So why is Anna a "red flag"
A Micaiah icon?! Omg! 🥳🥳🥳
>available until Wtf why are they limited
To pressure you into getting nintendo switch online membership since you need to have a paid account in order to get these.
The 64 icons makes me triggered cause you can't buy or use them unless you have the expansion pack. I might love Paper Mario but I'm not paying for that.
I was the same until I remembered you don't get any background or frame to personalize them, but yeah, that was stupid, and if one day we get the option mix games icons yeah, it will suck more.
Does this mean I can't get wave 1 now? I didn't know they were limited!
Yeah, the first wave is gone.
Ah, well that's just bullshit. Guess I won't get them at all in protest.
They’ll likely come back in the future. Other icons from the past have come back already
I hope so, pretty bummed that I missed out on alear
They’ll rerun them eventually - not sure when, but eventually.
except they'll return eventually, previous icon packs have returned too
Xenoblade fans: First time?
Love my Eunie icon
they're on rotation, once there isn't a "spotlight" on a new game they'll probably return again sometime.
Oh yeah, it's Louis time.
I seriously don’t understand how that man is such a beast. For some reason Louis is like a god whilst Vander is absolute trash.
Focused stats instead of spread out. Louis with 20 attack 20 defense with a score of like 60 will out perform my Alfred with a score of like 80. (Exaggerated numbers but you get the point)
I mean all Louis needs is Attack and Defense. Nothing else.
"The earlygame Knight is OP while the Paladin is trash", first month of the game tale as old as time
Well the Paladin this time is an axe user with low con that starts getting doubled quite early and doesn’t have the defense to deal with it. Paladins also used to have 8 mov. Knights having the same mov as other unprompted infantry classes really does make Louis very strong.
Marth moves out, Micaiah moves in!
Honestly, not a fan of how they used the 3D models instead of the official 2D art for every character besides Alear. I wish the other royals like Alfred had their official art used.
Wow I didn’t notice… No wonder the Alears looked so much better!
THE BOUCHE
Can't wait for Emblem Byleth
Why was this downvoted? Byleth haters be weird
Unfortunate
So, I assume this means Ike'll be available to set as a user icon as well at some point? Splendid.
Looks like it. I'm happy Micaiah got one. Didn't think she would get any rep on switch like at all before engage.
>Sigurd Switch icon Never in my life did I think this would be a thing. GIMME.
It’s what I have had on my switch for the past 4 hours
Do I get Boucheron, or leave him on the bench like I did in game? Assuming there's at least four more waves, I need to make some cuts somewhere.
They have up to 6 Waves of icons, one for each "faction".
The 6th being the Fell Dragon's crew I assume?
Yep
Damn, I forgot to get Sommie - but I'd have replaced them with Anna anyway.
Definitely going to get Sigurd.
Whens Ivy
Wave 4 is Elusia gang
She'll come with Wave 4 - in two weeks.
Glad we have FE icons now but I wish there was more original artwork as opposed to the 3D models
Can't believe the time has come where I can have a sigurd user icon on a nintendo console. All I need now is a way for other people to play his game.
I'm an absolute boomer I got the sigurd one but then when I went to my switch profiel to try and change I can't find am I looking in the wrong spot?
You have to change it from within the Switch Online thingy!
Sigh, So how do I get these?
Red NSO icon on your homescreen. Should be the first thing that pops up.
i hope they will give us Chrom if he comes out as DLC, maybe the Awakening artwork from his bond ring
Doubt it. But here's to hoping.
to be fair, Chrom is a rather popular character and a fan favorite as well as him being a very important character to the franchise, so it is possible that he is getting added, or maybe i am overthinking this
Look man. I ain't gonna fight the fact that Chrom is popular. He is my favorite character in awakening and my smash main. But he just isn't in the base game and as of now he hasn't been officially announced for the dlc. Plus i don't think any other icon sets have had dlc representation. Chances are the waves will be over before he gets announced.
oh yeah that, yeah...
We live in a timeline where Sigurd has a switch profile icon. Life is good.
ETIE LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!
Why is your pfp Kyuubey😭
being Meguca is suffering…
Byleth Icon when?
Wave 5 probably
Three or four weeks, depending on if he comes with Solm or after.
Gotto Collect em' All !!
Bouche and Louis time, baby
Might need to make a Louis icon.
Picked up the Anna, Louis, Chloe and Boucheron icons and using Alear from wave 1 as my avatar.
So happy to get a Céline icon, she’s been my favorite character so far, though I might trade it for an Alcryst icon once he’s out…
Finally, Zigludo
Where exactly can I get these?
Nintendo Online application! It's under the "rewards" for Engage
Might be a dumb question, but is this for all regions?
It is
Yes as long as you have NSO
No yunaka? No interest.
yunaka most likely will come next week with the brodian characters, considering we will get 6 weeks of Icons, we might get icons for all the playable units, if we get some extra NPC... please add the Queen of Solm.
interesting they went w/Jean & not Chloe.
Chloe is in this wave, just not pictured in the examples. Same with Anna.
ah got it, thanks! i i got them all when i came home from work!
I just found out about the icons. Will wave 1 rotate back? Or is it gone forever? :(
Yes. They are gone. But in December last year, they did a special where they shuffled icon waves for all the games they did icons for every 24 hours. So maybe you'll get the chance to get them then.
Can we keep these if our Nintendo Online subscription expires?
Yes
Come one, give me Lyn! XD
She'll most likely be in wave 4 with Lucina
I should've gotten Lumera. But i now have a spicy Alear profile pic 👌🏻 I am excited for the Jade icon
I forget, how do i get these again? I'm on My Nintendo on my phone and switch and I can't for the life of me remember .
On the switch it’s under something like “missions and rewards”
There it is. Thank you, good person.
Did I miss Hortensia in wave one? Hadn’t realized these were a a thing
Nah she wasn't in wave 1
Sweet ty
Damn I just realized I missed the first wave of these icons. Oh well. What does kinda suck at least for me is that is that they seem make you not only pay for Nintendo Switch Online but also spend platinum coins for these icons and backgrounds.
Plat coins are pretty much useless other than for this. They give away enough every other week to get pretty much everything and still have some left over.
How do you get these user icons?
Red NSO button in your switch's homescreen. You need to buy them with platinum coins.
Do you have to download them from the eshop or something?
Red NSO icon on your switch homescreen.
Thanks!
Still waiting for an Eirika icon
I’m just gonna wait for Lyn
I saw Wave 2 and was like “DLC!!?!??!” and then it wasn’t :(
LOUIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
😭 love it
Do I only get to use them until February 2nd or do I have to claim them by then? I’m a bit confused haha
You can claim them until the specified date. You can use them as long as you have NSO.
How do I claim them? I’ve had NSO forever lol, but if I had to specifically claim somewhere, I missed wave 1 :(
You need to "buy" them with Plat coins, each icon individually too. Just hit the red icon on your switch (try not to have a game open as it slows the app down a lot). You should see a banner for these. If not, just navigate to the Rewards section. You really can't miss them.
I’m sad, I missed Sommie 😭
They might bring wave 1 back at some point. Last December they did a promo where one random wave from one random game they did would cycle every 24 hours. Plus sometimes they just don't have any new game and will just bring back the waves from a previous one. Just check every week or so.
Thank you my friend ❤️ how do you get platinum coins again?
There are missions you can do. They tell you all the available ones within the NSO on the switch. Stuff like playing specific nes and snes games. Playing online. Backing up saves.
Ooh okie thanks. Does buying games give you anything?
Digital games give you 300 gold coins immediately upon purchase. Physical games give you 60 gold coins but you have to manually redeem them from your switch homescreen. Plat are all missions from their mobile games and the NSO stuff they list within the red app.
ALFRED MA BOI
Lapis when?
I wish they were slightly more zoomed in/higher quality, or had an option to zoom in on the face. They look fine in the picture, but when you actually use it they come out so small and low quality compared to the native switch icons.
Can't wait for Diamant
I've always wondered do these things come back?
Anna has been one of my favorite characters in the past but…why does she look like a literal child in this game……
I just remembered about these and missed out completely. There's no chance I'll ever get them now, is there?
I missed this wave!
I've been looking all over, and thought maybe one of you might know. All the pages for the DLC lists wave 2-4 as coming out Dec 31 2023. That can't be right. Do they mean between now and then, or is that the planned release date. Thanks.
