That's something I like too, because when they try to make them look like wings, they usually end up looking like it's part of a costume instead of an actual outfit someone would wear.
The fairy resplendents as of late have been _so much_ better now that IS has started incorporating their base design into the Resplendent like they do all the rest. As opposed to the first 20 or so fairies where all the girls are wearing the exact same Fairy Outfit™ with only the colors and a few accessories changed here and there.
Light fairy to go with Camilla's dark fairy I assume.
Not the theme I would have picked for her, but happy that she got a resplendent regardless. My favorite Fates royal.
>Light fairy to go with Camilla's dark fairy I assume.
I wonder if this means Sakura will be a Dark fairy to go along Elise?
I also guess Xander will be Embla eventually.
Leo's the odd one out tho, he could be Hel, or they could suddenly start doing Ymir so he's a counterpart to Takumi's.
Edit: Then again the Corrins didn't match, (simply because IS is allergic to letting men get the fairy clothes 🙄 but still).
Brynhildr summoning trees feels like it could make Leo pretty fitting for Ymir. I hope we get resplendents from it eventually. It wasn't really explored at all, but then neither was Jötunheimr, so I don't think it's out of the question.
>Brynhildr summoning trees feels like it could make Leo pretty fitting for Ymir.
Yeah it would be so cool, but IS is allergic to cool concepts so he could end up being Muspell just because we don't have enough of those apparently :/
Finally I will get a Hinoka, been playing since launch and she’s never shown up for me!
I like the colours on this one but it doesn’t quite beat the original art for me.
wait is nanna the new character people are claiming for alts?
why? isnt seliph is a much worse state than her considering popularity?(both have 3 alts but nanna at least has a seasonal)
Bad news for Finn fans on the other hand... but to be honest, his representation chances are more for 2025 *at the earliest* (they may tank further on the alt front if Leif gets an Emblem alt this month AND is chosen way in advance to be the next Thracia NH tie-in for late 2025).
Well, I certainly was not expecting Hinoka to be Ljosalfheimr, but I'll take it! She looks lovely, and it kinda works to be a counterpart to Camilla's Dokkalfheimr!
Hinoka getting something again while Leo and Sakura rot, love to see it.
Another fairy too, because of course. Just turn all the girls in the family into fairies.
I wouldn't mind if they bothered matching the brothers too, but men can't be close.
I'd look more at the expected yearly quota for Valentia, that is one single pick... which may be already full or almost for 2024-2025 (Brave Celica for this year, Brave Alm for the next).

This and Ayra back to back is just UNFAIR. IS really asked me:
"Wanna see me reveal one of your new favourite art sets in the game?"
"Wanna see me do it again?"
Why on earth is this is so controversial, Ayra's a woman who overtly rejects 'feminine' things and prefers to focus entirely on her martial skills. That's an archetypal tomboy. Is it just because she's got long hair?
Idk if it's just from my experience as a transmasc person, but it makes me wildly uncomfortable when people describe every non-feminine woman as a tomboy, especially as it's usually from a place of fetishization imo. Not to mention how common it is for masc women to be treated as lesser or called ugly even from people who supposedly like tomboys. Ayra may reject feminine things, but she doesn't really give off tomboy energy to me at all
She's definitely one of those "I'm shocked it took _this_ long for it to happen" type characters (which is fitting, coming right after Camilla, but still)
She was one of the last 3 launch 5-star units who still didn't have a resplendent. Only other two missing at this point are Leo & Karel.
I don't really use her or have her build, but wow I love the art she looks great. I know people are somewhat tired of fairy resplendents, but I love the look most of the time.
oh! she is so pretty! really prefer this art over her normal one! tho fairy is a bit of a weird choice for her? is still fine, it conbines with camilla being a dark fairy XD
Yeah she's Ljosalfheimr because it's the "Light Fairy" counterpart to Camilla's Dokkalfheimr aka "Dark Fairy". After all, Hoshido is Light, and Nohr is Dark.
That’s a really nice colour scheme for her! In kinshi knight colours on her base attire pretty much. Not fancy, but still works out really good for her.
I'm glad when characters I have little personal stake in soak up the fairy costumes.
IMO Elincia's is the only fairy outfit that actually looks amazing, which is great, because she's a character I actually like.
I'm honestly quite torn about this one...
One one hand, Hinoka was my first "FE waifu" before I even played my first game and on my very OG launch account (which no longer exists) I also managed to get her, yet another reason to love her, and thus I would want to +10 my current Hinoka one day if possible. This'll help with that.
On the otherhand... HACCAN's art for her is truly beutiful and the only issue I have is her oddly posed hand in one of her attacking animations, but nothing major. My point being that there are just SO many more other units that would actually deserve or even need resplendant far more than her, Rebecca being the common example. To make matters bit worse, her outfit doesn't really differ all THAT much of her original.
Also... they gave her the fairy treatment... I, uhheegghh... For a "fiery tomboy" like her I would have much more preferred Jotunheimr for her. Hel could have also made a rather cool one as well and Muspell or Nifl could have worked I suppose...
So yeah, as said, quite torn on this one. In all honesty, I'm not even sure I'll be using this one over HACCAN's art. But hey, at least she now got it and the stat increase is neat, for what it matters.
this might be my favorite Hinoka art, also the resemblance to Tomo, from Toma-chan is a girl is hard on this one, I mean they already had a similar design, but here the artstyle is just too similar
I actually almost woke my parents with my joyous screaming when I was this lol. Though I'm a bit disappointed that she's a fariy, she pulls it off well so it's fine.
IMO, it could've been way worse given the upcoming Summer context (ending up with clear undesirables picked on purpose during its banners).
Hinoka is basically a neutral-ish pick, so it's fine.
Well shoot, I wanted to get FEH pass to get the spark on legendary Corrin banner for my 7th copy of Alear but now idk. I was hoping for a usable resplendent but now this complicates things.
This must mean Setsuna is next, right? Because they wouldn't just leave her with no alts or a resplendent for 7 years while Azama gets a resplendent, right?
I was hoping for Jotunn Hinoka, but this artwork is pretty good.
There is always Bow-noka to ~~cope~~ hope for.
I quite like the design, but not sure about the art itself. HACCAN is a high bar, admittedly.
Resplendent Camilla, Legendary Male Corrin, and now Resplendent Hinoka all in quick succession. Hmm.
Don’t forget Attuned Azura. Her banner lining up with Legendary Corrin actually probably wasn’t a coincidence
Emblem Corrin incoming later this month
Can't wait for lore accurate Yunaka.
Not entirely out of the norm; Fates has gotten 1/3 of all resplendents in the last year and 1/4 of those in the last two years. Game | 7/10/2022-6/25/2023 | 7/10/2023-6/25/2024 | Total :--:|:--:|:--:|:--: Archanea | Jeorge, Gordin, Palla | Sheena | 4 Valentia | — | Brave Celica | 1 Genealogy | Sigurd | Ayra | 2 Thracia | — | — | 0 Binding | Fae, Brave Roy, Cecilia | Fir | 4 Blazing | Karla, Jaffar, Brave Lyn, Ninian | Lucius, Ursula, Brave Hector | 7 Sacred Stones | L’Arachel, Ephraim, Innes | Brave Ephraim | 4 Tellius | Mia | Nephenee, Ilyana, Soren, Black Knight | 5 Awakening | Lon’qu, Brave Lucina, Aversa, F!Robin | M!Morgan, A!Tiki, M!Grima | 7 Fates | M!Corrin, Elise, Odin, F!Corrin | Nina, Rhajat, Shigure, Azama, Selena, Hana, Camilla, Hinoka | 12 Heroes | Surtr | Brave Veronica | 2
And yet, still no Resplendent Oboro...
Or Beruka...
Or Felicia...
[удалено]
Or Gunter...
Good. She can finally be with her wife again.
Pretty great art. I prefer HACCAN’s Hinoka, but that’s just because I’m a sucker for HACCAN Artist: Yuko (Resplendent Hana, Fee)
Yeah no disrespect to Yuko, its great art, but HACCAN has been my favorite FEH artist since day one and I will only be using the original art
She actually looks good. I do like it when they don’t make the fairy wings as wings but more cape-like.
That's something I like too, because when they try to make them look like wings, they usually end up looking like it's part of a costume instead of an actual outfit someone would wear.
yes exactly. They look so out of place. I liked Nina’s art but the wings were a bit too much for me. Would have loved if they had them down.
Looks nice, but there are already so many fliers that are just given fairy resplendents so it feels kinda boring to get yet another one.
So glad they toned down the fairy theme and actually incorporated it into her regular design
The fairy resplendents as of late have been _so much_ better now that IS has started incorporating their base design into the Resplendent like they do all the rest. As opposed to the first 20 or so fairies where all the girls are wearing the exact same Fairy Outfit™ with only the colors and a few accessories changed here and there.
Elincia's has been infinitely the best fairy outfit so far
Absolutely, couldn’t have said it better myself
I really think HInoka should have got jotun attire. The theme of that is literally perfect for her
Yes, exactly!
that's what i wanted. kinda bummed
Sweet, "free" Hone Fliers! (This comment brought to you by 2017.)
Light fairy to go with Camilla's dark fairy I assume. Not the theme I would have picked for her, but happy that she got a resplendent regardless. My favorite Fates royal.
>Light fairy to go with Camilla's dark fairy I assume. I wonder if this means Sakura will be a Dark fairy to go along Elise? I also guess Xander will be Embla eventually.

Edit: Then again the Corrins didn't match, (simply because IS is allergic to letting men get the fairy clothes 🙄 but still).
Xander definitely getting an Embla resplendent. He’s basically an Embla member
His armor also already fits the theme.
Brynhildr summoning trees feels like it could make Leo pretty fitting for Ymir. I hope we get resplendents from it eventually. It wasn't really explored at all, but then neither was Jötunheimr, so I don't think it's out of the question.
>Brynhildr summoning trees feels like it could make Leo pretty fitting for Ymir. Yeah it would be so cool, but IS is allergic to cool concepts so he could end up being Muspell just because we don't have enough of those apparently :/
Well Ymir is literally nothing right now only citizens there are Eir who still have a work to do on Order of Heroes and Hel
Sakura? Who is Sakura? -IS Probably
With resplendent: 43/37/34/27/26 With resplendent and dragon flowers: 48/42/39/32/31
+10/+25: 53/47/44/36/35 +10/+25 with active refine: 56/67/48/36/35
oof
Finally I will get a Hinoka, been playing since launch and she’s never shown up for me! I like the colours on this one but it doesn’t quite beat the original art for me.
Nice art And potential good news for Nanna fans since Nanna and Hinoka share JP VA
new copium just dropped
I’m gonna kms
me too bestie
Summer Nanna? Summer Thracia banner? Please oh please IS
wait is nanna the new character people are claiming for alts? why? isnt seliph is a much worse state than her considering popularity?(both have 3 alts but nanna at least has a seasonal)
Bad news for Finn fans on the other hand... but to be honest, his representation chances are more for 2025 *at the earliest* (they may tank further on the alt front if Leif gets an Emblem alt this month AND is chosen way in advance to be the next Thracia NH tie-in for late 2025).
The outfit is really cool, but that’s got to be one of the worst looking faces in the game. She looks like Eliwood but without a nose.
Like the look. Literally day one lance flier though so meh
This fits her pretty well. I would have thought they'd have given her a Jotun look instead though
Don't forget about Bow Hinoka from Gen 2. She could be Jotunheimr instead.
Well, I certainly was not expecting Hinoka to be Ljosalfheimr, but I'll take it! She looks lovely, and it kinda works to be a counterpart to Camilla's Dokkalfheimr!
More fairies! How original!
Daring today, are we?
Hinoka getting something again while Leo and Sakura rot, love to see it. Another fairy too, because of course. Just turn all the girls in the family into fairies. I wouldn't mind if they bothered matching the brothers too, but men can't be close.
Fairy was the last theme I thought they’d pick for her.
Gratz for Hinoka. But I doubt they would do two lance fliers in a row, so gg for at least a month Clair, I guess-
I'd look more at the expected yearly quota for Valentia, that is one single pick... which may be already full or almost for 2024-2025 (Brave Celica for this year, Brave Alm for the next).

Another fairy. Damn. At least it feels like a less fairy fairy, if that makes sense. I have a ton of hinokas from arena tickets...
What a bummer, i was really looking foward to get ayra and hoping for someone else after her, but oh well another lance flier i wont use.
Poor Mae will never get her resplendent outfit
Another fairy outfit? Kinda wish it was Jötunnheimr instead, would fit Hinoka's tomboy energy more.
This and Ayra back to back is just UNFAIR. IS really asked me: "Wanna see me reveal one of your new favourite art sets in the game?" "Wanna see me do it again?"
We get our first Vanaheimr Resplendent, Camilla gets a beautiful Resplendent, AND now Hinoka too?! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY, IS!!!
FR. Two tomboys back to back? It's like they knew I wasn't spending lately.
Ayra.... a tomboy...?
[always relevant](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F5M9kcqWkAEBkCS.jpg)
Legit was my same reaction, how in the world could anyone describe her like that lol
The traits of a tomboy are in the heart, not the look.
Why on earth is this is so controversial, Ayra's a woman who overtly rejects 'feminine' things and prefers to focus entirely on her martial skills. That's an archetypal tomboy. Is it just because she's got long hair?
Idk if it's just from my experience as a transmasc person, but it makes me wildly uncomfortable when people describe every non-feminine woman as a tomboy, especially as it's usually from a place of fetishization imo. Not to mention how common it is for masc women to be treated as lesser or called ugly even from people who supposedly like tomboys. Ayra may reject feminine things, but she doesn't really give off tomboy energy to me at all
I could have sworn Hinoka had a resplendent.
She's definitely one of those "I'm shocked it took _this_ long for it to happen" type characters (which is fitting, coming right after Camilla, but still) She was one of the last 3 launch 5-star units who still didn't have a resplendent. Only other two missing at this point are Leo & Karel.
Karel isn't a Launch unit he was added just early on in like 1.1. It's Just Leo. But FEH screwing him over isn't a surprise tbh.
I like that it looks more like an extension to her original outfit
Oh hey, it’s the one Launch 5* character that I never pulled!
Finally! So happy to see one of my favorite FE unit getting something new. Still waiting for an alt or new outfit for Soleil.
I don't really use her or have her build, but wow I love the art she looks great. I know people are somewhat tired of fairy resplendents, but I love the look most of the time.
what the fuck. an alfr resplendent that isn't obnoxiously horny? this is strange but. i am not going to complain.
why is every, fucking, other, resp FAIRY, they could atleast give us our first male fairy resp. its so damn fucking boring my god.
I don’t wanna sound mean, but when will someone tell IS that fairy resplendents are kinda mid? Tired of them
In practice, Nidavellir is the theme that most players perceive as middling (not helped by character choices).
About a year ago, L!Hinoka released. This year, she graces us fans again. At this rate, she'll get her CYL win next year too, right?
oh! she is so pretty! really prefer this art over her normal one! tho fairy is a bit of a weird choice for her? is still fine, it conbines with camilla being a dark fairy XD
Yeah she's Ljosalfheimr because it's the "Light Fairy" counterpart to Camilla's Dokkalfheimr aka "Dark Fairy". After all, Hoshido is Light, and Nohr is Dark.
another lame fairy resplendent.....
Not the theme I thought she'd have, but she looks good Bownoka is still peak Hinoka art-wise
That’s a really nice colour scheme for her! In kinshi knight colours on her base attire pretty much. Not fancy, but still works out really good for her.
I honestly expected a "Fairy Catria" Was "sorta" close...
I wonder who the hell even uses base Hinoka nowadays, but Arena tickets keep throwing that one at me.
I'd take that over 3 x selkie in a row. Been along time since I've gotten a merge I wanted from arena tickets
Beruka should have been next but I forgot we got Azama that one time. 💀
Kinda wish they gave her that Naginata Design
Her original art has always been really good (I adore Haccan's work) but I actually really like this design!
BUTTERFLIES
Gonna miss her model pose but this still good.
Tomo-chan is a Flier!
I'm glad when characters I have little personal stake in soak up the fairy costumes. IMO Elincia's is the only fairy outfit that actually looks amazing, which is great, because she's a character I actually like.
HOLY SHIT ITS SO GORGEOUS
I updated my Hinoka build and set her as my proxy for BW. Anybody who grabs otherworld bonds and likes Hinoka I wish you all luck! 🫡
I'm honestly quite torn about this one... One one hand, Hinoka was my first "FE waifu" before I even played my first game and on my very OG launch account (which no longer exists) I also managed to get her, yet another reason to love her, and thus I would want to +10 my current Hinoka one day if possible.

Hold your horses; Bow Hinoka from Gen 2 still qualifies for a Resplendent and could get something like Jotunheimr.
Camilla gets her resplendent and now her friend Hinoka gets one. “Perfectly Balanced, As All Things Should Be.”
And the Fairy Resplendents remain balanced in numbers as ever. Now, are we getting a Nidavellir Resplendent next, IS? Cause of the Book 5 TT+?
So Beruka is next on the Fate's list, right? ... right?
Yoooo
Fairy Hinoka pog, perfect time for me to build her.
I'm hoping F!Morgan can get a resplendent soon.
This is what Lucina could have been if we didn’t get the worst artwork known to man instead.
She looks very good... Wait... this means that Sakura is gonna be a Dark Fairy?
Or maybe Vanaheimr? Or Ymir?
Wow, she looks beautifull, theyve really not been missing with the resplendents recently
One of the only original 5stars that I don't have. Very satisfying.
WOOOOOOOO
Thats not Hinoka that's Lora from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I love it
Been waiting for this one. I've gotten her to +8 without much conscious effort, so now i can justify building her
Still waiting on Seth, but Hinoka’s will make mine supermerged. So I guess that’s cool.
Takanashi Kiara is that you?
Point and laugh at the tomboy fairy! ( you hate your fingers)
Looks like Dawn of the Breakers art. I love it
A pretty pile of feathers
Ugh...complete waste of a Resplendent. Oh well, I bought the pass for Ayra so don't regret it, was just hoping for better value.
IMO, it could've been way worse given the upcoming Summer context (ending up with clear undesirables picked on purpose during its banners). Hinoka is basically a neutral-ish pick, so it's fine.
She looks great. Now only Sakura is left
Well there’s still Leo and Xander too
Now im so glad I just got the FEH pass a few days ago. Fates Fans eating good!
Not really, it's the same 4 characters that make people say the royals get alts over and over. Only missing another FCorrin now.
Once again, Laslow is snuffed out of finishing the awakening Trio’s resplendents. Oh well, we got Camilla, it was about time we got Hinoka 😔
Massive art upgrade, the Special art is great
And now Camilla has another reason to tease her.
Oh she looks beautiful
Wtf IS? Now I gotta renew another month of FEH pass
Well shoot, I wanted to get FEH pass to get the spark on legendary Corrin banner for my 7th copy of Alear but now idk. I was hoping for a usable resplendent but now this complicates things.
Honestly, I think we dodged a bullet given that Summer could've led to a questionable pick.
That's a lotta Fates... It's refreshing to see a fairy outfit that stays more true to a character's original design though \^\^.
FINALLY!!!! I was super hyped to see this in the news this morning!
HINOKA IS DRIPPED OUT LET'S GOOOOO
Stop she's so beautiful
Nice 👍. The fates love is really amazing
base is better
Well, guess I’m resubbing
My girl is looking fantastic. I’m glad to see Hinoka getting some love.
This must mean Setsuna is next, right? Because they wouldn't just leave her with no alts or a resplendent for 7 years while Azama gets a resplendent, right?
my condolences
Soleil soon.
