I'm A'scared. My Luck Is Usually Absolute Shit In This Game, And I Know Damn Well This Won't Carry Over.

I'm a'scared. My luck is usually absolute shit in this game, and I know damn well this won't carry over. I just wasted all my luck for the year on fucking Elibe units. This is a nightmare, wgat was I smoking to think this was a good idea?!?!?!

Other players: *maximizes arena score by using armor emblem team with good synergy, blessings and AoE specials*

Me: "I'mma pour all my resources into my husbando."

And it was good...

BONUS!!

Now I just need Duessel and Frey and my Husbando team will be complete~♡

Quick overview

So this is my first time going over a character, who mind you there’ only 2 of them, who fall into this sub bracket of units. So I’m sure you’ve heard of trainees right? Units with more BST for being the new recruit. Well meet the opposite where units are essentially inflicted with a ‘old people’ status where it deducts points for them, and considering he has a hore, him and Jagen are the only characters to suffer this. To make up for it, they tend to boast amazing stats early on and the growth from 4 to 5 stars is less of a change meaning he’s a great budget unit. Mind you he still ranks more in Arena than Horse mages at least.

Base kit

Silver axe is decent for a weapon it just lacks a passive which is normally better than might in general. Harsh command is a niche skill and should only be used if you find yourself being targeted by debuffs a lot, otherwise it’s safe to go with other skills. Armoured blow is really meh as a offensive skill, he’s going to have much better options in the long haul. Finally Gunters saving grace, Hone cavalry. This skill alone is feared by many players, it’s the glue of horse emblem so if you want to use Gunter you’ve got a head start.

As for B skills lance breaker is nice to fight lance units, otherwise quick riposte is his best option, unless you plan on using the seal then renewal and guard are prime choices. Special wise Bonfire is the best choice.

Pros + Cons

+Amazing defence and solid attack to back it up

+Hone cavalry is amazing

+A incredibile choice for a 4*+10

-Low speed hurts his offence

-no res means he won’t survive a mage most of the time unless its Odin.

-Is going to need a lot of skill inheritance 

Partners

Well horse units are the clear choice here and the best choice too as Gunter finds it hard to live outside of horse emblem, but if you can boost his defence and attack they’re normally a solid partner for Gunter.

Suggested set(s)

Revenge is a dish best served cold

+Atk/def -spd/res

Slaying axe+, reposition, Bonfire/ignis

Slot A = close defence, steady stance, fortress defence, earth boost

Slot B = quick riposte, guard, renewal, lance breaker

Slot C = hone cavalry or any c skill

Sacred seals:  close defence, quick riposte

Weapon refinery: +def is the best option for him

Basically his role here is to act as the green wall, a protector of sorts. with +def and the refine he can reach 42 defence, thats 48 with one close defence and 54 with 2, add in a fortify buff and he can reach 60 defence. Which even some reds can’t cut into to. Blues especially will be left stopped in their tracks. However he can sacrifice 6 of those points to use the quick riposte seal and use another B slot, Guard being a choice to prevent units with high damage specials breaking through.

Old time punishment

+atk -spd

Brave axe+,  reposition, Bonfire

Slot A = Death blow

Slot B = Hit and run, axe breaker, 

Slot C = and c skill or hone cavalry 

Sacred seals: atk+3

A basic brave axe set, Gunters highish attack stat makes hima  really nice choice for the weapon and with death blow sweep through teams with ease. Axe breaker can be used to power through armours like Hector and Amelia.

Since of COURSE IntSys isn't going to put the corrupted character *I* want in Heroes, I'm forced to make him myself. As usual. While I love the character design of Fates, I also found it just... mind numbingly dull in places. I mean, Takumi is a literal fucking Z O M B I E in Conquest, and the best you could do was make him pale and add some purple fire? In a game rated T? Well, aren't you creative... *slow clap* Since Gunther is not a mindless puppet of Anankos, but the actual living vessel for this eldritch god, I want to make him a little more... interesting, but trying to keep him similar to how he is in Revelation makes that difficult. I mean, if I had my way, he'd look like something out of Fraken Fran, but then he wouldn't be "Gunther", sadly...

Thank you, LN...

"Ho there! I'm Norne, a volunteer in the Altean army. Don't let the festive attire fool ya; I'm a keen hand with a bow if you're needin' one."

Finally finished this! I started it back in November, but if there's one thing I'm good at, it's not finishing anything. I adore Norne, have I mentioned that? I think I mentioned that. So instead of the "default outfit but red with white trim" that seems to be the standard holiday skin, I tried to make her into something that actually ties in to the season. She's an elf! With a gingerbread bow that shoots candy cane arrows. I was planning on doing some of my other favorite characters (with inspiration from other seasonal holidays, not just christmas), but I'm the queen of procrastinating, so I can't make promises.

IS... I know you'll remake Shadow Dragon one day, I can feel it in my bones. When that day comes... Nintendo, please let 8-4 do the localization. And 8-4, PLEASE let Norne be a country bumpkin with an accent like Donnel. I can't express how disappointed I was with Mozume. That's all I want for Christmas.

For over a month, I've been working on my seasonal FEH banner Gunnerr series and have JUST gotten to the coloring stage (it's mostly taken so long because of the damn freezing weather and me being too cold to even hold my pencils). Two more pictures and I'm DONE with them, thank gawd. I have weapons for banner, but I kinda want to actually do the whole Heroes shebang and give them all stats, abilities, and dialogue too... but I'll prolly say "Fuck it" cuz that sounds hard. ((Nerr uses an "Engagement Ring" that functions as a green stone with built in DC and Gunther has "Wedding Bells" which is an axe with BA3))
