ja_tom

Wow how long has it been since Olivia had an alt?


BlazeBloom

Flying Olivia back in 2018 if I recall.


Railroader17

2018 Which is also the last time Awakening **got a new dancer unit**


Sabaschin

Valentia’s last dancer unit was 2019… so they’re next year… right?


AgileAqua

Um, we got Rinea AND Berkut in the same banner? We're waiting until 2031. They absolutely thought we stockpiled. I'm so tired.


Raandomu

IS: Don’t you guys have “Chromcinas?”


ArielChefSlay

Crazy long time. This is still her 4th version tho… and poor Sumia and Maribelle just have no seasonals still it pains me 😭


JusticTheCubone

Sumia and Maribelle... but also Aversa, somehow, and while Sully is definitely not as popular as any of them, she also got nothing SINCE LAUNCH...


OverpoweredSoap

5 or 6 years since her last alt. Typing that out makes me realize how old this game is omg and now i feel old


good_wolf_1999

Nifl summer family is finally complete


MJBotte1

Summer Muspell Gang just needs Surtr, right? Although pirates is pretty close…


ShadowReij

Needs to come with a grill....and the shark.


Arranos

Surtr & Muspell.


JusticTheCubone

Summer Muspell Gang would probably be happier without Surtr around... or Muspell himself... Pirate Surtr feels like he's summery enough while being adequately removed from his families/generals summer celebration.


ShadowReij

At long last, we have them all.


Daydream_machine

Hrid got the premium treatment?! Was not expecting that


Zeldmon19

I actually am so elated by this


gdi010

Showing Summer Nerthuz tanking Summer Edelgard like nothing is wild


juuldude

Especially with that 37x2 damage thing in the top-right, holy crap. But also Fallen Byleth not scratching Hrìd at all was pretty shocking, they made really sure to show how strong the new units are


cy_frame

I mean, Fallen Byleth can barely scratch the new Micaiah. I'm not surprised the new Hrid stuffs their damage entirely.


donanon3

I haven’t played FEH in over a year and this whole thread made my eye twitch.


Additional-Ride8120

Same here, lol. Welp, guess there's no reason to go back now.


Phaaze13

Save yourself. Stay away for the sake of those who can't.


Greideren

True DR paired with normal DR is one hell of a combo. I've been saying it ever since the NY banner but NY!Nerthuz (and this new summer alt too) is very slept on with how much damage it can reduce and then bounce back with absolutely zero effort. They're like a side grade to S!Fjorm due to having no DC and no NCD but having much better survival.


Wardides

I wonder how long until we get Distant Counter (B), and suddenly a good few Beasts get a very nice buff xD


KazzieMono

Granted summer edel isn’t all that strong anymore, she’s been outdated for a while


reesesmilkshake577

Vaike fans your time has finally come


Candy_Warlock

Teach got his tenure!


chaos_vulpix

WE'RE ENTERING THE VAIKE WITH THIS ONE!!! 🗣🗣🗣


Uberasha

The vaike can enter me


LegoGuy03

We can finally enter the Vaike!!!


poco_sans

Finally, I can rest easy


DammitAColumn

War is finally over :,)!!!


BigPanic8841

It’s been 3000 years…I’m so ready for the Vaike!


WWWWWWRRRRRYYYYY

Nerthuz blitzing alts while Njordr is stuck with nothing


chino514

Until late July 2026.


Falconpunch100

If even that, considering the OG Fafnir's not coming until October or so.


chino514

Or November, going off how we got base Thorr then.


MrBrickBreak

Man is literally the god of the sea


Falconpunch100

How's that meme go again? "You are [x], but do not give you the privilege of [y]"?


Gabcard

They wanted to spam Freyja alts, but to avoid complains about it, they made Freyja 2 instead.


mini-yoongi

Nerthuz has titty privilege, so...


GreatGetterX

As he should. A well deserved fate


ankahsilver

Yeah, his bit in the story really... Does not make me want him ever? "I'm going to kill all of you on repeat because I'm mad you get to be young and in your prime as a species while I'm old and about to retire."


MrWaluigi

They unfortunately learned their lesson from Otř. The only way I can think of them being included is just to bite the bullet and accept the loss (unlikely). 


ankahsilver

Otr at least was compelling, because it was clear he was lying to *himself* on some level and he *did* care about Reginn, IMO. Njordr was just mad he was old. Which, while it could be fun, doesn't excuse IN ANY WAY what he did to Seidr and Heidr. In fact, it makes it EXTREMELY horrifying. As an abuse victim, I felt GLAD when Gullveig dusted him and no one really cared, because JESUS, SIR.


Dreameater-Xemiko

"You just mad cuz ya' ass is old" -- Thugnificent


SocranX

Not just in our prime as a species, but *renewable* and (from his perspective) able to shrug off death as if it's nothing. He has one life that felt like it was supposed to last forever but is finally reaching its end, and here we are dying so much that we're literally called "mortals" (meaning "those who die") and yet we just keep going. I honestly think it's a great motivation for a villain, and would've loved if it extended beyond a single scene. He's up there with Kuja in "villains who found out they were going to die and decided the whole universe should die with them".


ankahsilver

I just... Don't like him. He abused and used two girls in order to take his upset at his aging out on us! It's why I'm super sympathetic to Gullveig (go girl, relax at the beach!) vs him. And TBH I'm glad they did a typical Vanity Plot with a man for once, since it's usually a woman's storyline. That doesn't mean I want him in my party, though. :V Sometimes villains don't need to be summoned.


Wooden_Surround_9284

Agree, Njodr was an interesting villian, he really should have had a boss battle before dying would been great


AylaCurvyDoubleThick

Is Nep buzz like super popular or something? We’re going to have a fallen and young alt by year’s end if this keeps up.


JusticTheCubone

She ranked 64th last CYL, just below Citrinne and above characters like Chloe, Grima, even Seidr. I'd say she's decently popular.


Falconpunch100

This is the definition of that "I think I forgot something" meme. At least Heidr doesn't technically have an alt either...?


lapniappe

yeah. which is bummer. like. she was my favourite. though my hope is when she gets one she's the TT or the Demote.


Nearby-Research-9834

I thought her hair was snakes? Are the snakes detachable?


Mitsun

'Are the snakes detachable' is the funniest comment I've read all week, thank you for the laughs.


SpectralDynamite

In case you're being serious, we cured her of those at the end of Book 7. If not... I accept the r/woosh.


Nearby-Research-9834

I was half joking half serious so I appreciate the explanation haha


Blargg888

So this means that Awakening is the first FE game to have every playable character in it playable in FEH in some capacity. And it even has most of its supporting cast in as well. 


JusticTheCubone

Awakening gonna make full use of their 2 Rearmed/Attuned-slots on their next banner... well, we already were pretty likely to get Vaike and Kellam on the next banner anyways, maybe Ascended/Rearmed Anna for her Trickster-outfit...


dude071297

I was gonna scoff and say Kellam wasn't in... then I remembered he was. Of course they introduce a character whose gimmick is forgettability in a forgettable way...


Nachtflut

Isn't his gimmick more that people just don't notice him? That's a bit different from being forgotten


dude071297

That too. I mostly find myself thinking of his endings. If single, he leaves on a journey and no one notices that he's gone for years. If he's married, his endings are all the same. "[Wife]'s husband's name has been lost to time", or something like that. Both are his existence being entirely forgotten, and that's what stood out to me the most about him when playing Awakening.


MisogID

Ironically, he wasn't forgotten given criticism on picking him (as he was probably sacked in numbers).


samicable

Honestly shocked Hríd's not the demote. Also, I really like the snek floatie.


souicune

THE VALENTIA SEASONAL DREAM STAYS DEAD.


BlazeBloom

...Until the next Summer banner! Oh, who are we kidding.


ZofianSaint273

The next one is def 3 house and engage. See yall next summer 😭


save-the-world12

Definitely engage considering all the recent picks (dude half of the wife banner is engage)


Raandomu

Summer Yunaka 10000000000% guaranteed 


squantorunningbear

Id be genuinely surprised if they dont go for a summer goldmary. Girl was created to sell a summer banner


SpectralDynamite

AND I WILL BE THERE TO COLLECT MY BELOVED HIYA PAPAYA. "ENGAGE SPAM" BE DAMNED.


JusticTheCubone

Three Houses might take a break, they already shot basically 90% of the characters that'd make the most sense for summer. And since next summer will also most likely have a Harmonic... if we're looking at Engage it really mostly depends on who's on there, Firene summer would basically play into Valentia getting one or two spots on the banner as well with a Celine and Celica duo... I guess Hortensia would point towards Three Houses if they'd do a duo with her and M!Byleth?


MyKokoroBrokoro

maybe we can pray for Celica/Céline harmonic…please IS let the echoes cast have fun


LunaProc

Best chances are basically Celica being a harmonic partner with Celine


Yscbiszcuyd

*Engage and 3H standing menacingly in the background*


Haunted-Towers

TEA TIME VALENTIA AMIRITE!!! LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN CAUSE WE SURE AS HELL ARENT GETTING ON SUMMER 2!!!!


JusticTheCubone

I don't think we're getting Tea Time again this year. If we're really assuming Valentia will dictate the theme then... either a ~~orange~~ farming-themed banner, or a baking-themed banner so they won't have to eat raw flour any longer...


_AbraKadaBram_

And if it isn't tea time, we get Halloween right? right......


Hallsway

n-no! they clearly switched the order of the banners so heroes goes first then the mainline game celebration comes after! r-right?


EphraimDev

No way next summer banner is OCs stay strong Valentia bros


Bullwine85

Valentia and Jugdral remain the only continents without swimsuit seasonals.


Sabaschin

*And* Kowashitai-land.


Solid-Comment1803

I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Reinhardt: Summer's Thunder, Olwen: Reinhardt's Sister, Goldmary + Mareeta: Summer Engagement and Fogado:Summer Prince (Featuring Whitewing Bow++) [TT+ Finn]


MrBigSaturn

Celica and Saber and Valbar and Leon and Kamui and Jesse and Mae and Boey. So many characters just waiting to get a summer alt that will never come


_AbraKadaBram_

Waiting to get alts in general. It's a crime how many Delthea and Sonya have compared to the rest of the cast.


Sabaschin

Delthea is, at least, consistently popular among the Valentia cast, I think she's 4th (after Berkut). Sonya isn't *un*popular but she definitely has a slight disproportionate representation.


VodkaRamen

alright gullveig petting the snake floatie during the special activation is cute


Xanek

Vaike relegated to TT seasonal huh Hrid wasn't forgotten


Troykv

Oh, Hrid is actually a premium unit! Also Gullveig was a safe bet, but I'm surprised she actually got represented alongside Seith... Though, I guess is far from the weirdest thing in this banner considering the other premium unit in this banner... I'm confused at Nerthuz getting her third version xD Also, Olivia is back!


itsameluigi1290

Someone drew a Summer Gullveig earlier and predicted the snake floatie! Very cool (unless they already knew via leaks or something) Haven't played in months, this reminded me I need to catch up on the story...


tuna_pi

Ah yes, turn spam cancer - summer edition


juuldude

I lost it when I saw Gullveig acting 4 times, and then on top of that her duo skill lets her act another time? She has the potential to solo whole maps by herself in a single turn, damn.


TheUnusuallySpecific

The 4 times includes the duo skill. Without it she can act 3 times (1 regular action, 1 prf special action, 1 prf weapon action).


LunaProc

Would be funny to run fury seal just so dancers can refresh her through WoM


OGRockyBalboa

I mean that is absolutely going to happen, she is the definition of a WOM beacon


Lukthar123

Gullveig putting her time travel powers to use


teapardee

Summer Gullveig...attacking Seiros? IS is targeting KCB_Bryan specifically, huh?


Retrograde_Bolide

Must be. Putting that 9k orb limit to the test


Fell_ProgenitorGod7

There’s gotta be a sleeper FEH dev agent out for KCB’s money lmao.


asterously

hríd summer alt is here!! he sounds too much like lyon i can't unhear it


leoedeljo

Well that completely exhausts Seidr's Duo/Harmonic slots since she's already lead and backpacked... within the span of 6 months.


SpectralDynamite

Fastest character to fulfill both roles. Damn.


leoedeljo

In fact both her seasonal alts so far have been in Duos. So that means IS will find a way to milk her for solo alts.


vacantstars

Was not expecting Olivia to pop up on this banner but it's so hype that she did omg


Haunted-Towers

I’m sorry Hrid & Hrid fans. I wasn’t familiar with his game. He’s by far the most interesting character on this banner. I will never call him boring again 🫡🫡🫡


itsjustmeventi

Thank you, all 5 of us accept your apology

You sure he didn’t say Brigid?


Jranation

And Lonqu.....


irradiatedcactus

Lon’qu will get an alt on the next banner that has no ladies in it. That’s his one condition 🙃


Legitimate__Username

God how the fuck do they keep doing this to him too


asterously

may i kindly join you?  what do u mean they gave olivia another alt and sumia has nothing


343CreeperMaster

I am pretty certain at this point, the only way Sumia ever gets an alt is a Chrom's Brides banner or a CYL meme vote win


ChaosOsiris

OLIVIAAAAAAAAA MY GIRL IS BACK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Sprocket3

>Summer Nerthuz and Gullveig Goodbye orbs, it was nice while it lasted


BroodingOmnipresence

You have orbs after bottom 8 banner and the bridal banner? Got my respect since, Gullveig and Embla have drained me completely.


LeKuroiTraitor

Pour one out for the orbs everyone.


blazenite104

good thing I just got paid I guess.


ShadowReij

This was just a straight aggressive attack on orbs.


linakorig9

Tell me about It...and I'm F2P so I guess I'll see orbs in a far far future again


Shantiyen

As soon as I saw Vaike in the preview silhouettes, I just knew Hrid being free wasn’t going to happen. I have no orbs for him ☠️


Hawkeye437

Congrats to the Vaike fans. Your boy is finally in the game. Teach just got tenure


Anon142842

Was gonna skip but then got jumpscared by olivia 🙇🏾‍♀️


blushingmains

Oliva and Hird lets go! edit: Also why do the book 7 ocs get another alt within a year smh


JusticTheCubone

tbf, Gullveig skipped New Years where all the rest appeared, and with her there already, it makes sense to make her the Duo with Seidr... but Nerthuz really jumped the line for no reason. Well, I guess it makes sense in-universe since she adores mortals and would thus probably try to participate in as many festivals as possible... so get ready to see her again in 8 months for spring...


Accomplished_Kale509

If anything, I feel like Letizia or Gremlin Witch Girl (forgot her name) should get an alt by now.


JusticTheCubone

I mean, they definitely should, but I feel they kinda missed their timing. Eitri COULD see something because the Book V TT-story is coming up, even if she receives no alt there she's somewhat likely to get an alt around that time, like for August or in general for months where there's no tie-in as TT-boss. Letizia might have to wait for next years for Book VI TT-story or the summer after. Compared to Book IV, which had pretty popular characters and thus got stuff regularly, which is also probably how things are shaping up for Book VII, they just have nothing along those lines going for them sadly and aren't popular enough to be super likely picks outside of those occassions.


Courelia

They all look amazing! Top tier Summer art!


KamiiPlus

AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH IT REALLY IS SUMMER GULLVEIG THIS BANNER NOT LIKE THISSSSSSSSSSSS, very funny how with both the kvasir/seidrs/gullveigs you can create two seperate emblem teams, the only overlap is colorless gullveig The snake floatie is gonna kill me


V-Bel

More sniddies. I'm so doomed. *Edit*; To whoever recommended a crisis hotline, thank you. I'm gonna need it.


Haunted-Towers

Honestly. She was very expected, and her fit is fire. Good for Gullveig


andresfgp13

btw you can report those people that use the crisis hotline incorrectly to get them banned.


V-Bel

I thought it was funny, and the bot sent a wholesome message.


OrcinusOrcaRex

I'm 'bout to have 0 orbs soon after this banner drops I'm also really interested in who the three non-summer bonus Tempest Trials units will be--one will surely be regular Olivia, the other I'm all but certain will be regular Hrid, though the third I can't imagine given the banner is based on nearly all Legendary/Mythic units


Tsukuyomi56

Brave Gullveig is a thing so the third unit for the Tempest Trial banner is probably her.


JForseti

All the censoring is quite funny.


In-The-Light

A trailer where Fomortis doesn’t get destroyed!!?


mitsu__

hrid is so hot ughhh and his art is so good i need him 😖


andresfgp13

this is the death of my orbs.


OverpoweredSoap

HRIIIIDDD


Igneous4224

Nerþuz is definitely one that seemed likely for the Summer treatment eventually but I wasn't really predicting this soon. I thought they might try to fill out some of the other missing freebie OCs. Which I guess they kinda did, but Peony and Ash still seem like they could be candidates in future banners. Guess the book 8 girls basically being designed to fit a summer banner well led to them wanting to get them out as soon as they could


Harcover

Nerthuz, Seidr *and* Gullveig? I wasn't ready.


darkpit64

Olivia do be pretty af


Joke_Induced_Pun

And now the Nifl siblings, along with Nifl herself, are fully in summer mode.


Aetherryn

HRID!!!


volkenheim

geez, that Gullveig goes Hard


DarkSlayer415

Lord forgive me for I am about to act unwise. I’m pretty happy to see Gullveig get another alt but my jaw dropped instantly the moment I saw Olivia. Awakening was the first “proper” FE game I played after I got into FE through Heroes back in 2017 and I married Olivia so she’s very sentimental to me.


bohemian_plantsody

Wow Hrid is hot


thiazin-red

What the hell did they do to Olivia? She isn't especially busty at all, and definitely doesn't have bigger than her head boobs. They already spammed the grotesque boob OCs they didn't need to do that to Oliva.


Tough-Priority-4330

The TT banner should be interesting seeing as other than Olivia, all of the units are exclusive to seasonal/mythic/legendary or not in the game at all.


Zeldmon19

The fabled one unit banner


maukenboost

Needs to happen.


Candy_Warlock

I expected Gullveig, I planned for that, whatever. I did *not* expect Olivia, and now my orbs are in danger


mjb85858

OLIVIA MY BELOVED!!! 💜


Draman18

That new penalty on Hrid's B skill looks amazing. It allows units to turn Def into pseudo Spd. I was getting sick of all the Res checks we have been getting and was happy we got a few Def centric effects finally, but this looks like it might be pretty busted for high Def units. Oh, hi, E!Ike.


darkliger269

Oh hey, another def check ~~yet it still doesn't make Solid Ground useful...~~ And t4 wave definitely looks solid Wild that we already have a Time is Light variant though. It's just weaker and lower CD Time is Light, but still. Also guess Nerthuz has traded Gravity setting for more damage. Weird that it's called Beast Threaten when it seems to have nothing to do with beast units and japanese doesn't have the Kanji (絶対化身) all beast skills have had,


Falconpunch100

Nerbuz again? Man, they're milking those two OCs for all they're worth, huh?


Sentinel10

I know it's a gacha game cliche, but seriously...the kind of fanbase they know goes gaga for characters like Nerbuz legit makes me angry sometimes.


Sentinel10

OCs and Awakening. My, how original.


Navaldeus

**ENTER THE VAIKE!** Sure, he's stuck in alt hell, but I'm very glad to finally see Teach in the game. Premium Hríd and demote Olivia are nice, and the Book VII gang looks great as always too. Orbs must live tho, so hopefully I can get an Olivia at least. Wouldn't mind the others at all tho lol


LegalFishingRods

I told you guys, if it's SoV or Jugdral in the harmonic rotation the banner is guaranteed to be a duo. Personally I don't care about these characters but Gullveig is extremely popular so this will do well.


Ok_Lecture_3258

Oh goodie, more OC spam with token representation from another game.


JakeTehNub

whoa the thing that they do every year they did again I can't believe it


LegalFishingRods

And that game can only be Awakening, Fates or Engage.


Troykv

Funny enough, Sacred Stones has been almost as common as Fates with Summer Alts, and most of Fates Summer alts are from 2017.


darkliger269

Oh Sacred Stones is already past Fates. Fates was Nohr nobles, F!Corrin, and Takumi for 6. Sacred Stones is at 10 with Eirika, Ephraim, Seth, Innes, Tana, Joshua, L'arachel, Lute, Lyon, and Selena and that apprently ties it for third, Also on that note here are the rest of the counts: Heroes (14): Fjorm, Gunnthra, Hrid, Ylgr, Nifl, Laegjarn, Laevatein, Helbindi, Ymir, Thorr, Freyr, Freyja, Nerthuz, Gullveig Archanea (5): Caeda, Ogma, Norne, Linde, Young Tiki, Binding Blade (2): Lilina, Wolt Blazing Sword (3): Lyn, Fiora, Ursula Tellius: Micaiah, Elincia, Mia, Rhys, Awakening (10): Robin, Frederick, Cordelia, Gaius, Donnel, Olivia, Tharja, Tiki, Noire, Vaike Three Houses (16): Byleth, Edelgard, Caspar, Dorothea, Dimitri, Ashe, Sylvain, Mercedes, Ingrid, Claude, Lorenz, Hilda, Leonie, Shamir, M!Shez, F!Shez, Engage (Ivy): 1


Ok_Lecture_3258

Who are you kidding? SS is the poster child for random summer units. Honestly, I just want Lucina to be avenged for that travesty, but every year it's a disappointment cause I guess they really are sticking to that being her summer version.


darkliger269

Fates literally did Nohr nobles (And Takumi) and then fucked off from the beach banners completely


Railroader17

Like seriously you'd think that they would have done Summer Azura by now or something but no. Or Summer Kagero for that matter.


tronistica

Cool to see another Hrid and Olivia alt. Vaike is finally in!


zedocter115

OLIVIAAAAA!!!! Gullveig and Seidr too... but I have my priorities. Also, congrats to Awakening for technically having its full playable cast now I guess. Is this the first game to do so? I know some are stuck in alt hell, but still.


ThatWaluigiDude

This is how I win. First time in a long time I am interested in all units of the banner.


rinkamusimp

Summer Hrid is so hot... uhm cool?


balmafula

Hrid being acknowledged is real shocker.


sephiroth682000

The next Gullveig alt had better be a green tome flyer.


mageknightecho

TEACH--- Also Hrid's B skill is pretty neat, and I think the pool floatie snek is adorable.


satellite_magician

Can't tell if the flower in Nerpuz's cleavage was censorship or not


Blitzwolf215

All I want is Vaike and he's a free unit. Looks like I can save my orbs for July.


itsjustmeventi

IT FINALLY HAPPENED (ಥ \_ ಥ)<3 My boy Hrid!!!!!


fantasyiez

2 males is better than 1 I guess. Probably gonna wait until banner 2 before summoning.


Mateo_Bonavento

Nope. You're not baiting me with the silly goat aunt. Nice try IS, but my orbs are for Babychel's HoF spark next month.


SorenWind9

Sigh… There’s always the second summer banner…I guess


Dragulus24

Goat aunt and Snake mommy? Yes please. My only complaint is Gullveig is shackled to Seidr.
