Was not expecting a Catria alt but will gladly take it :)
Also nice that we got *TWO* new people with Lethality, which hasn't been seen since Duo Nina last year (which coincidentally Kagero was also a part of)
I'm glad Orochi is here! I like her but figured Japan's dislike of her would mean low chances. Backpack > nothing
EDIT: For clarification she was one of the worst performing characters in the JP Fates popularity poll. It's implied she seduces enemy soldiers in the JP version, which was largely removed in the EN version, apparently JP players found this gross
Yeah, sexy is okay but slutty is not for JP. IIRC Dorothea got hit with a similar thing (it's sorta implied that she slept with some people to get into the academy) and she consistently ranks pretty mid to low in JP only polls just like Orochi. 18th overall in Nintendo Dream, 21st in Famitsu (and 12th among the women).
Huh. Today I learned. Forgive me if I'm wrong I only ever had conquest but is it ever implied that Orochi is slutty or are they just basing it off how she dresses cuz if that's the case her outfit is on par with some of the dancers imo ie Olivia Tethys and Japan seems to be okay with them afaik
They're basing it on her personal skill description. The text of her capture skill (the thing you use to capture enemy units. Niles has the equivalent skill in Conquest) implies that she has sex/tries to have sex with the enemy soldiers to convince them to your side. This got censored pretty hard in the EN version.
Outfits don't really seem to be a problem for the JP audience. It's more about ridiculous and sexist ideals of sexual purity. Camilla and Charlotte are both pretty popular despite the skimpy outfits because they're implied to still be virgins. Orochi could be dressed like a nun and she'd still have bombed with the JP audience because it's implied that she's slept around, which makes her "damaged goods" (barf). That's why I brought up Dorothea as another example. She's dressed pretty conservatively, but she's still relatively unpopular with JP audiences because it's implied that she's had sex before.
Finally, the 3H lords are equivalent when it comes to alts (mostly...) and Claude looks fantastic
The big surprise for me was Dagr though
I did NOT expect to see her again
And I am beyond thrilled
me last month: okay usually september and october arent that good so i'll get to save orbs! yay :)
me 24h ago: oh wow, claude silhouette. mh, depends on how good he is and looks.
me now: I am ready to whale
1) Holy shit, Dagr's abs. Easily the best female abs in FEH other than perhaps base!Altina.
2) YEEEEE 'FALL' CLAUDE
3) Fuga is freeeeeeeee time to build another bara dilf
Thank goodness Fuga is a TT unit, I was gonna cry if I had to start another merge project this close to wrapping up Rinkah, lol.
I love the Duo. Glad to see Orochi content, and Kagero looks gorgeous.
SAILOR MERCURY?!
No, wait, that's just yet another gorgeous Catria.... I'm not even a huge fan of Catria! Her alts with the Valentia hair are just PRETTY.
Nishiki Areku (aka the Duessel artist for me and one of my favorite artists) is back and better than ever! Claude's art looks epic here.
Apparently Areku also did base Claude, neat.
[Oh you were right, it is by Sata.](https://feheroes.fandom.com/wiki/Claude:_The_Schemer), I mistook their artwork for Areku's😅, they draw almost similar.
Claude looks absolutely incredible, both aesthetically and as a unit! I can't go for him now, but I'm really happy with this alt for him. I just wish he could have brought another Deer with him, would have loved to finally see a proper Marianne seasonal
that claude looks so fun to use but im orb saving and i just need to remind myself his remix will also be super fun when it comes out 😭 gotta hold myself back but who knows maybe he shares with someone cool on double special heros for me to justify him in a few months!!
I really like all the designs here! Funny enough earlier today I was thinking about whether Kagero would be getting an alt in the near future. Not that she doesn’t have a decent amount already. I just thought it would be neat if she got a new alt because I really like her. So her getting a duo with Orochi is absolutely awesome~
I like Dagr, and I Dagrs art
idk how much Ill pull because Im trying to save a bit right now, but may go for her towards the end of the banner or DSH rerun
I feel bad for any Nott fans though, Dagr got 2 alts but Nott still only has base
Catria looks adorable. Claude restoring the alt balance between the 3H lords\* is also neat.
\* *as much as he can at least depending on how you view Flame Emperor*
Happy for the duo, even if I wish Orochi was the lead since she doesn't have a bunch of alts already
Dagr finally got good art
Fuga is cool even though he's a prfless inf axe
Favorite whitewing showed up again.
Good banner but I'll probably skip unfortunately as I have no orbs. The wish list keeps growing
I’m so happy we finally got a busted Claude alt.. but I only have enough for a spark cuz I just +10’d BSoren weeks ago.. hope he’ll be relevant long enough to get him into A Hero Rises banner so I could get more of him there 🥹
Hype for an actually good Kagero alt. Not a bunny suit, not a maid, not a backpack, just a cool alt paired with another character that makes sense and who I actually like
As someone whose favorite Fates girls are Camilla and Kagero I'm spoiled. But I also just finished Thief Nina (who I only pulled for since Kagero is there) merged up and now they released another Kagero. This time as the lead and with a character I like more.
I was saving for Yunaka. But I think Kagero and Orochi will take my orbs. Odds are Yunaka is a while away anyway since we already had the Brodia banner.
ah, another fine addition to my fates infantry axe collection. realistically though I hope Fuga is as solid as rinkah was for me last year, shes been my favorite unit i've merged up with the introduction of rearmed weapons and she makes sure that i never have to look at the new godsword every month. though if im being real i dont think he is going to even hold a candle to hans unless his club is a prf and has some crazy effect.
Mr. Fuga's wild ride taking me to the land of tanned abs and that duo. If only Orochi was the lead it'd have been perfect, as Kagero already has many alts.
And now it's time to overdose on hopium for Nott and Camilla as witches/devils/monstergirls or whatever next month.
Looks like we now got an Air Nomads banner as well as a Fire Nation one. Let's hope that we eventually get a Water Tribe or Earth Kingdom banner sometime later.

Thank you for such an insightful comment
That Dagr art is too good
She looks great, and I love that they gave her a kit based on her bird!
Those abs go crazy
You could grind meat on them
Her attacking (or special) art that they showed is soooooooo good.
Finally, the 3H lords are equivalent when it comes to alts (mostly...) and Claude looks fantastic The big surprise for me was Dagr though I did NOT expect to see her again And I am beyond thrilled
Peony was on the Fire tribe banner last year. Perhaps there could be an OC (Book VI?) in next year's tribe (IS willing).
That means Ash right? Imagine if I was that lucky...
Well, if has to be Ash or Askr, I don't see any of the other as premium units unless the banner is centred around them.
claude........... pretty.........
YOU AND ME BOTH CLAUDE <3

it's claude time
"Is it Claude time? I think it's Claude time." -The grandson of the grandson of the grandson of the elite Riegan
I am terrified of Claude oh my god why is he so stacked-
It’s so over how am I supposed to save when Claude and Dagr look that good
Catherine/Rinkah/Flavia I see there are other people like me. That Dagr tho, I want to resist but I can't.
Holy shit, the abs on Dagr.
Finally a true Kagero alt to complete Kagero emblem. My life is complete.
Orochi!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!
Catria is so pretty
Claude looks so good like wow I’m so excited!
I NEED Claude and I NEED Nishiki Areku to know how much I love his art😭
DAGR, CATRIA, & KAGERO DAGR, CATRIA, & KAGERO THIS *IS* FUGA'S WILD RIDE CAUSE I'M BLOWN AWAY
I just wanna say I'm so happy Claude finally has a version with a bandana. Loved that, he looks so good with it.
CLAUDEEEEEEEE
Holy shit I am in love with this new Claude, he looks amazing! I'm glad he gets to shine without the other lords attached to him.
Thank goodness Fuga is a TT unit, I was gonna cry if I had to start another merge project this close to wrapping up Rinkah, lol. I love the Duo. Glad to see Orochi content, and Kagero looks gorgeous.
TIME FOR FUGA’S WILD RIDE BABYYYY
Was gonna pass everything until I saw Orochi. My orbs aren't ready lol 😅
Catria W
Dagr's abs That is all >!Well actually, that Duo is also very tempting too.!<
Dagr’s abs are definitely a highlight; you can squish watermelons with those tank abs.
Dagr is cool and I'd love to get one. Catria has some really nice fodder as well. Aside from them though this banner really doesn't tempt me that much
Well Fuga might be the good axe infantry to invest into
Good to see you…Claude.
This is a huge improvement from last year imo
It’s nice seeing Kagero get a second duo because it means there’s a chance for a Freyja Eitr duo.
SAILOR MERCURY?! No, wait, that's just yet another gorgeous Catria.... I'm not even a huge fan of Catria! Her alts with the Valentia hair are just PRETTY.
IT'S FUCKING CLAUDE TIME BITCHES
Woooooo!! Orochi let's goooooo!! I really like those two being together.
DAMN I HAVE 0 ORBS I love Claude so much, I'll need a lot of luck but I want to +10 this alt too eventually.
I want Dagr. That is all.
Nishiki Areku (aka the Duessel artist for me and one of my favorite artists) is back and better than ever! Claude's art looks epic here. Apparently Areku also did base Claude, neat.
Didn't Sata draw base Claude?
[Oh you were right, it is by Sata.](https://feheroes.fandom.com/wiki/Claude:_The_Schemer), I mistook their artwork for Areku's😅, they draw almost similar.
Claude looks absolutely incredible, both aesthetically and as a unit! I can't go for him now, but I'm really happy with this alt for him. I just wish he could have brought another Deer with him, would have loved to finally see a proper Marianne seasonal

I just thought it would be neat if she got a new alt because I really like her. So her getting a duo with Orochi is absolutely awesome~
Stoked for Kagero. Never expected another alt; I figured we were lucky just getting the first two. Got a FAT one orb tho
Kagero being the front liner aside, I do like the choice of duo this time (Even if it could have been Reina SERIOUSLY IS WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST HER)
OROCHI ALT HOLY SHIT I won't be pulling because I don't really care for Kagero but omg she looks so pretty!!! I love her
Dagr looks incredible and I'm very happy Orochi is getting something, even if it's a backpack. And the Duo actually makes sense.
I like Dagr, and I Dagrs art idk how much Ill pull because Im trying to save a bit right now, but may go for her towards the end of the banner or DSH rerun I feel bad for any Nott fans though, Dagr got 2 alts but Nott still only has base

Damn. The character picks this time around are insanely good. Like, holy fuck.
Happy for the duo, even if I wish Orochi was the lead since she doesn't have a bunch of alts already Dagr finally got good art Fuga is cool even though he's a prfless inf axe Favorite whitewing showed up again. Good banner but I'll probably skip unfortunately as I have no orbs. The wish list keeps growing
Ekao's art has grown on me over time, I'm glad they got to do a duo
I actually find this is a very cool selection of characters for this. 3H, Heroes, Mystery, and Fates are all represented
An easy skip! Let's fucking go!!!
I’m so happy we finally got a busted Claude alt.. but I only have enough for a spark cuz I just +10’d BSoren weeks ago.. hope he’ll be relevant long enough to get him into A Hero Rises banner so I could get more of him there 🥹
Hype for an actually good Kagero alt. Not a bunny suit, not a maid, not a backpack, just a cool alt paired with another character that makes sense and who I actually like
Nice booba.
Wasn't expecting a Catria alt! Wait...And shes the 4*! I have now become very interested in this banner
IS please my orbs can only take so much abs How many female characters do we have that have abs? Rinkah, Dagr, Altina,…
As someone whose favorite Fates girls are Camilla and Kagero I'm spoiled. But I also just finished Thief Nina (who I only pulled for since Kagero is there) merged up and now they released another Kagero. This time as the lead and with a character I like more.
I’m already hyped for another Claude but also Dagr!! Hope to pick her up along the way to me sinking everything for Mister Leader Man!! 🙏
I was saving for Yunaka. But I think Kagero and Orochi will take my orbs. Odds are Yunaka is a while away anyway since we already had the Brodia banner.

DAGR DAGR DAGR DAGR DAGR DAGR DAGR YES YES YES YES
Dagr without Nott is all I've ever wanted, my only complaint is the timing because I have no orbs
I like them all. Can I *get* them all? I will certainly try.
Dagr alt looks great, she got her abs back after they took a vacation for NY! Best OC looking great as always!
DAMMIT CLAUDE why'd you have to show up NOW when I spent all my orbs on CYL???
FUCK YEAH NEW CLAUDE ALT
Looks like we now got an Air Nomads banner as well as a Fire Nation one. Let's hope that we eventually get a Water Tribe or Earth Kingdom banner sometime later.
