Attuned Micaiah, Rearmed Sothe, Edward, & Leonardo! (Dawn Brigade) | Banner Breakdown

[@blackdemon250]

Noticed that in the Builds Section for Reamred Sothe other you have Bridal Embla's kit description displayed instead of Sothe's.
Other than that, stellar review. I'm just amazed with how much stronger attuned Micaiah is

[@andersonweir11]

Me too

I haven't played FEH since book 3 really and hearing call these stats mediocre made completely baffled. I remember back in book 3 that you were lucky to get a unit with 40 speed and over 52 attack (total after preferred 16 might weapon) with 20~ def/res and low HP. To hear 56+ atk and 40+ speed with high defenses is "mediocre" blows my mind

This game's broken. It was getting better there for a while with arcane weapons and combo skills that allowed old units to catch up, now it's back to "better get the new units or you'll be completely outclassed." It started with Emblem Ike and it just got worse from there. I'll really miss the good years of this game. I remember when Fallen Edelgard was the enemy to defeat. At this point, in order for all other units to catch up to Ike and Miciah, they will have to have so much text in their skills and weapons it's not even worth keeping up with.
Thank you Sacred Spear, always loved your content!

I used the H!Rhea at the time, who kept up for months, little speed invested just to double other slow units with her onmi break which made her also very good against F!Edelgard.
Rhea did suffer from the F!Edelgard counters and the null folluw up meta, since that undid the omni breaker effect of course. And nukes simply hitting too hard to tank after an while

[@skotiaH2O]

It did _not_ start with Emblem Ike man, it started with the latest Christmas banner for me

[@CatsLilaSalem]

@@skotiaH2O Right, and with the skill powercreep this year they can still be super good. Multiple new skills they love, including the breath of life but everyone loves that one in some way

[@CatsLilaSalem]

@@skotiaH2O if not direct, than via support. Breath of life seems to be going a little far for an default skill upgrade. Upside is that skill powercreep can make old favorites also more usable of course

[@Shademastermcc]

@@skotiaH2O Damn, even the Christmas banner was still okay for me, Ike is just a whole other level, and negates anti-counterattack, it's just ridiculous. And the skills are so confusing, if my Ike initiates on another Ike, it does more dmg than tanking? I'm getting lost in the text now.

Caladbolg and Lugnasadh may not have been in JP RD, but they did make their way into the JP side with Edward’s and Leonardo’s second Cipher cards. Had Nolan gotten a second card, it’s likely Tarvos would have been there too.
Sucks that Lugnasadh got left behind here though. Unless this game’s going to go on for many more years, the only way it’s getting it now is if Leonardo of all characters get another main pool alt. Ah well.

[@CatsLilaSalem]

The Micaiah enemy phase team cleanse did get shown off in the trailer, so i think it is supposed to do that

[@IchabodLocust]

That blink-and-you'll-miss-it False Swipe reference almost killed me, lol amazing. 👌

[@IOSALive]

The Sacred Spear, nice video I really liked it

[@XD0002]

Had been waiting for the other Dawn Brigade members for years and hearing them be mediocre tells me that leaving this game months ago was a good decision, lol.

[@BGMfan]

Mediocre isn't what I would call these two. Leonardo's the most stat-balanced archer this year in a meta where every start is beginning to matter again, and Edward would legit be the best sword unit in the game rn if Emblem Ike hadn't crashed the party two months back.

[@retrogradebolide2198]

They are all pretty powerful. Not sure why you think they are weak?
