Inspired by few recent posts, I would like to share few more F!Edel counters. This post is going to focus on units available in 3-4* pools and grails units. And in the simulation, I am just going to use their base kit or skills that are readily available from 3-4* pool.

We are going to assume we face the most scary F!Edel that are relatively common in AA (so, we are not going to talk about F!Edel with 3 gen 1 legendary heroes). We are going to assume that this F!Edel is +atk, +10, +5 dragon flower and transformed. Fully buffed with atk/def menace and atk/def solo skills. All skills conditions are active

Here are the simulations

I want to remind you that 4*10 has stats equivalent to 5*+5. In the simulation, I am showing them as 5*+5, but you can use 4*+10 to save yourself some feathers. But please do give them 5* armor slaying weapon.

So, here is what I learned from simulations:

1. Est is the best. To my knowledge, she is the only F2P unit that can safely PP E!Edelgard. Hone flyer buff and one goad flyer, +1, +atk Est with 2 dragon flower can take down the most optimized F!Edel, even with menace skill. You do need to use her in a flyer team (or at least, she needs to have 2 flyer allies). But that should not be too difficult to achieve.
2. Bartre and other physical bulky units can run QR + fierce stance or Vantage + QR. But, they basically need atk and def +6 to deal with the most optimized F!Edel. In the simulation, you will see that they also require few spur or drive attack. That may not be possible during AA. However, not every F!Edel you encounter is going to be optimized. If you encounter the one that runs mystic boost or not running menace skill. Bartre can smash her with either QR+fierce stance or Vantage+QR build
3. I want to give a special shout out to dancer Eldigan. Give this guy a slaying spear+ and he can handle F!Edel. Probably the only dancer capable of doing so. Again, if F!Edel is running menace, he will be need spur/drive attack to beat her. But he is a flyer, so it is easier to stack few goad flyer behind him.
4. Boey is good. He will smash F!Edel. But you have to be careful if F!Edel is runnin menace skill. He is a ranged unit. So, in theory, you have more flexibility to maneuver him.
5. Finally, lighting charm is good. Bring this item to AA.

I am torn between either pushing for old administration or the Edel and Regina banners. On the one hand, old administration will finally round up my soldier team, along with Kang. On the other, Edel is big in shadow hall, and Regina deals with mech teams.

I'm fairly certain my luck ain't gonna be great, so I'm planning on maxing one of these banners but am not sure of which one to go for. Since there's will be a gap between Frederick banner, along with the ongoing rerun, there's at least some time remaining to stock up.

Hopefully I won't need to pity, and will be able to save for all three. Regina gets a rerun shortly afterwards so there's that too.

Fallen edelgard has 50 max hp as an enemy unit (45 base hp, +4 from merges, +1 from dragon flowers). With mystic boost on her seal, the lowest amount of hp she'll ever have after combat is 14 hp barring posion strike or fatal smoke (+1 from being alive, +7 from armor wall, +6 mystic boost). 14/50 = 28%, so with mystic boost As long as fallen edelgard exists her 1st weapon effect and b skill will be active.

Welcome back to another “Creating FFBE Characters for DND 5e”! I’ve been relatively busy, but nothing stopping me from working on the sheets for the week. This week I decided to do two Morze’s Soirée members: Madam Edel herself and Elbis! There’s not really much to get into this week so let’s get started:

Character #1: Edel

Google Sheet

PDF Link

Race: Drow Half-Elf

Class: Rogue 16 (Mastermind)

Background: Archaeologist

Alignment: Chaotic Good

This week I decided to avoid caster classes, mainly because I wanted to make some more diversified builds, especially with Rogue since I’ve only made one other Rogue thus far (Jake). Eventually I decided that I’d do Edel, and Rogue definitely fit best as she’s a treasure hunter. In-game she’s known for being a DPS with buffing capabilities (mainly just elemental imbues), but unfortunately there’s minimal ways to incorporate this properly in DND (as buffing is almost entirely reserved for casters). However, I went with Mastermind Rogue as I thought this worked as a good buffer, using Help to grant allies advantage while still dishing out DPS. However, note that I really wasn’t sure what I’d go with for her subclass as, really, a bit of a lot of options seemed to work. Multiclass didn’t, though. Anyways, I also gave Edel quite a few feats to assist her, and prioritized STR and DEX. She’ll want to use Inspiring Leader before battle to assist her allies before a fight, and in battle she’ll focus on DPS, using her Bonus Action primarily for Help or possibly for Dash, Hide, or Disengage. I gave her Dungeon Delver as well, mainly for flavor. With Gunner, she doesn’t need to worry about being within melee range whenever she attacks with her Pistol (added manually, of course), which allows her to also make use of Fighting Initiate and Unarmed Fighting. For race, I went with Drow Half-Elf because although she’s listed in-game as a human, the wiki lists her as a half-dark-elf-half-human, and Drow are DND’s dark elves. And I picked Archaeologist since that’s the closest approximation to Treasure Hunter (strangely enough that’s not a background already. It really should be). Anyways, onto the personality details:

**Persona

Looks like the F!Edel in a corner meta is firmly upon us. Give me your F2P / Whaled out counters to this hell of a bonus week!

Thinking about running my +1 Boey for AA’a sake. But I think Selena could serve as a good check. Thoughts on Edelgard’s effect on the meta? How are you countering her?

Untamed Wolf Edel NV Review

Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/-Us5kFGcw4Y

Friendly reminder that I have a Ko-fi and Patreon, if you want to be kind and donate. Although I earn via ads in my channel (if you watch the video version), I would still appreciate any support.

Base Form Strengths

Untamed Wolf Edel gains a boost in her 7* skills’ modifier thanks to a new passive upon her NV awakening. She can also fill the Esper gauge by 5 at the start of battle or after being revived. Lastly, she gets 150% LB damage passive. Unfortunately, she doesn’t gain any new abilities.

Base Form Weaknesses

She doesn’t do any significant damage in base form. Her LB doesn’t get any modifier boosts despite the addition of a 150% LB damage passive.

Base Form Sample Build

Since her base form doesn’t do much damage, well just build her mostly for LB fill. Without getting ahead of the review, her Brave Shift form wants to fire off LBs as often as possible.

Brave Shift Form Strengths

Available from turn 1

Duration: 3 turns

Cooldown to Normal: 3 turns

Cooldown to Brave Shift: 2 turns

Untamed Wolf Edel turns into an Wind-based Evoke damage dealer after her Brave Shift. Similar to Infernal Fire Rain, she gets an evoke damage ability and LB. She can buff her own MAG by 250% and imperil the enemy to wind at the same time.

Her LB does massive Wind evoke damage. She has a 150% LB damage passive and a 100% LB damage buff.

Passives: She already has 150% MTDW off the bat as well as innate dual-wielding and the 200% increase in chain modifier cap. She gains a bunch of static MAG passives. She’s already looking better than Infernal Fire Rain in terms of MAG passives. Her EVO MAG is at 140% while her Evoke Damage is at 30%.

BS Form Weaknesses

Her LB is a multi-hit ability instead of a finisher attack like NV Terra’s. You might have trouble fitting all the hits into a chain. However, it can be chained with triple bolting strike chains.

Her LB fill ability has a limit of 2 per battle so she needs some kind of external fill support if the battle lasts long.

Her BS form only lasts three turns then she will have to spend a few turns in base form. Her base form is basically useless in terms of damage so those turns will be dead turns for her.

The best weapon for her that has evoke damage is NV Terra’s sword. Many would argue: “

This is one of the most greedy and insulting things they have done to the player base in a long time.

Not only is it hard enough to get a desired unit and all the materials required to actually use them but now they have the gall to include weapons locked behind the summon coin system.

There is absolutely no reason these weapons should not be rewards for a new set of "chamber of arms" bosses. Instead of making more good content for the player base to consume and actively engage with they are only focused on one thing and that's your wallet. their priories are not in order and you along with everyone else should punish this egregious cash grab. If you do not they WILL do this again because they know they can get away with it.

So if you care about this game please refrain from any summoning on this banner. No 10+1s. no tickets. not even the 1/2 price dailies.

Well well well, what do we have here, some UWU Edel imposter coming up in the next banner?

TSS here with yet another evoker post. We all should have our UWU Edels by now, why should you even care about another wind evoker? I guess we should just let my trusty tables show you what's up with this imposter and how she matches up with EVERY OTHER NV EVOKER I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT since I need to high effort this shitpost.

Innate Stats:

Wow this table has done nothing, lets bust out the 2nd table to see if that helps

We currently have UW Edel’s Special Quests Part I running, but they will end on Tuesday, 3/16 00:59 PDT (at reset tonight).

You will not be able to complete Part I quests after today - people ran into this issue with Charlotte & Physalis Part I quests where they assumed the Part I quests would still be running alongside the Part II Quests, and they came away disappointed.

You have just under 12 hours to finish these quests.
