Remember that last Fire Emblem post I wrote where I said it seemed like Intelligent Systems was releasing banners at a mile a minute?
Well…
Here’s Legendary Tiki’s banner. Insert confetti hurray noise from Halo’s Grunt Birthday Party here.
Tiki — Legendary Dragon
Skill Set:
- Divine Mist (Might = 16, Range = 1)
-
- Effective against dragon foes. Unit can counterattack regardless of foe’s range. If foe’s range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe’s Defense or Resistance.
- Moonbow (Cooldown = 2)
-
- Treats foe’s Defense/Resistance as if reduced by 30 percent during combat.
- Fierce Breath (A Skill)
-
- If foe initiates combat, grants Attack +4 during combat and Special Attack cooldown charge +1 per attack (only highest value applied, does not stack).
- Bold Fighter (B Skill)
-
- If unit initiates combat, grants Special Attack cooldown charge +1 per unit’s attack, and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack.
- With Everyone! (C Skill)
-
- At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to an ally, grants Defense/Resistance +5 to unit and adjacent allies for one turn.
I’ll admit, some mix of trying to keep things short after my conversation with Spencer and general exhaustion from these showing up so often will probably result in this post feeling a bit bare-bones compared to most of my FEH posts.
But don’t let that fool you into thinking I’m not interested in Legendary Tiki. By all accounts she’s one of the strongest units released into the game, and she’s a character that I personally love having played both Shadow Dragon and Awakening.
Like. An armored dragon, colored differently than Grima, who hits the foe’s weakest defense stat at any distance with an affinity against dragons… There’s almost no downside. Even if I do think adult Tiki might have made more sense as a Legend to spotlight.
Either way she’s incredible. And I love her.
In terms of other things to say, I noticed that we’re running out of room on the Legendary Hero graphic now that Tiki has been added on:
There’s a few different ways to take that information.
Perhaps we’re going to not get any more Legendary Heroes once it fills up.
More believably, perhaps after it fills up we’ll get a new graphic that’s just a repeat of this one. Personally, I believe we might see a new graphic emerge as soon as Book III of the story starts, bookmarking these 16 heroes as ‘Book II’ Legends.
Or who knows, maybe once the Legendary Hero listing is full we’ll get a brand new kind of special hero as a ploy to take all our orbs. The sky truly is the limit.
As usual, Tiki isn’t the only thing we have to focus on here today. There are also a number of other heroes stuffed into this Legendary Banner:
- Ike — Vanguard Legend
- Tharja — Obsessive Bride
- Karla — Sword Vassal
- Catria — Spring Whitewing
- Micaiah — Princess of Dawn
- Hector — Marquess of Ostia
- Sharena — Spring Princess
- Ike — Brave Mercenary
- Robin — Fell Vessel
- Maribelle — Dire Damsel
- Jaffar — Angel of Death
Right off the bat, colorless heroes are out of the running for me. The only one on that list I’m missing is Maribelle, and I unfortunately don’t care for her enough to risk getting another female Grima or Jaffar.
The other three colors have two heroes I don’t own that I am interested in summoning, though.
Bride Tharja and Karla for red, Legendary Tiki and Spring Catria for blue, as well as Legendary Hector and Sharena for green.
Though the green heroes much less so, to be fair. So namely red and blue stones are my interests this time around.
With 150 or so orbs to start off, I figured I would be wasting a lot in my search for Tiki. At this point I’ve spent ~50 of them, and even if I haven’t found Tiki the fruits of my labor have been sweet.
To be completely honest, Micaiah and Ike are a little underwhelming. As nice as it is to have them both as five stars from this banner, they’re my third and fifth duplicate of those units specifically.
Either of the other units on those colors would have been better in terms of getting something new. So let’s just say I’m not mad, but I’m fairly disappointed.
Karla, however, was a very welcome surprise. Even though her boon and buff aren’t great for me, she’s generally considered to be one of the strongest units in the game. Can’t argue with that!
Even if I am more personally interested in Bride Tharja. Don’t know if it’ll be worth risking the other two reds to get her now though, which is a shame.
But hey, Tiki and Catria are still on the table! I’ll just be slowing down on my summoning fervor from here.
Though the orbs that are coming out of Legendary Tiki’s battle map might help with that!
Solid segue, Jason. Nailed it.
Out of the Legendary Battle maps we’ve gotten so far, this one is probably the map I would describe as being the most “eye-roll” worthy.
Even from the lowest difficulty, so many reinforcements arrive that I immediately knew I would not enjoy taking on the higher levels. The idea brought about more of a resigned sigh if anything.
Especially considering we’re continuing the trend of adding ‘Abyssal’ difficulty maps to these things.
Alongside Tiki we’ve gotten an Abyssal difficulty Legendary Hector map, as well as the return of the Legendary Robin/Grima map once more.
Maybe you’re interested in tackling those higher tier challenges, but I’m probably going to pass. Leave it to the experts like Pheonixmaster1, who has much more time to pour into these things.
Alright, that’s about all I have to say about Legendary Tiki. She’s a great unit that I want to summon, and even if I haven’t summoned her yet I did get a couple other fun five stars to mess around with.
Sorry that this post is coming later in the day once again. I had a Gladeo meeting to run this morning, so I wasn’t able to stay up late and have it out early.
Either way I hope you enjoyed my brief look at the new Legend!
Let me know in the comments, or somewhere on the Internet, who you want to see given Legendary Hero status next.
Also, let me know what your thoughts are on the next “era” of Legendary Heroes, whether we’re just going to recycle the idea for Book III or try something new. I’m pretty interested in thinking that over right now!
Work in Progress
