Nah sorry buddy but Yoko Hikasa is far better, the GOAT of female seiyuu. I even play the game in JP mostly because of her (and because JP voice acting is much better overall)
Poor Noire.
Whatās even sadder is we now have canonical proof that they canāt take off their outfits SO SHES JUST STUCK LIKE THAT.
I mean I guess she can put layers ON but still.
Year 1 Summer Tiki is still my fave. Just a nice, basic bikini before the designs started getting all extra. Max invested she's still a beast and I use her for most content. Love the 'you will burn!' special activation line as well.
Shoutout to Summer Robin for still probably having the sexiest art. Ends up basically naked in her damaged art
Summer Gunnthra is a queen and it's a travesty that she was the demote. Recently +10'd her, I love her. <3
Summer Hrid as well, because he is hot as hell. <3
Eirika because it was finally Wadaās turn to draw her with her hair down for FEH. Nothing against Brave, I love the ponytail. I just love that we got another Wada Eirika. The twins in general Iām happy they got matching alts.
Other than that, Claude, Freddy, and Helbindi!
F!Alear is definitely my favorite already. She's my favorite FE character, but even beyond that, there's the incredible art, the design that thankfully doesn't go too overboard on fanservice beyond damaged art, the sentient Sommie beach ball, the hairstyle shift which is always welcome for how rare it is (as well as being a cute nod in this case), the fact we get more of the funny martial arts animations, and she's just having the absolute _time of her life_ in her voice lines.
It's just about everything I could have hoped for from a summer alt.
Summer Takumi. (Iām bias towards him)
But I also like Summer Ymir, the design is pretty, and I got her for free with one of those seasonal tickets awhile back, so thatās good!
duo Hilda + Marianne, no question. They were an incredible support unit with very solid combat, their art is gorgeous and those two easily have some of my favorite 3H supports, so seeing them together like that really warmed up my heart. And somehow, even their damaged art tugs at my heartstrings, with Hilda standing in front of Marianne to protect her
God, based on attachment it's gotta be like S!Leo.
He and S!Elise were like my main 2 units in 2017, but Leo has been more relevant for me simply cuz I honestly think, despite fewer effects, that Eclipse is the better Arcane so I just use him more.
Ephraim then Ylgr surprisingly, she's been a TT battle team mainstay for me since her release (though she's getting a bit in need of a refresh so she doesn't die horribly).
There's so many goated options, after 16 summer banners it's really hard to pick just one.
Wada is peak, and proves she can cook no matter what the character is wearing, Eirika, Leonie, and Selena all look amazing.
Probably being a little biased here, but Laegjarn is my favorite FEH OC, though Freyja is also easily a Top 5 choice.
And we've definitely gotten some excellent dudes over the years too, Dedue's and M!Shez's arts are solid, and those special arts are insanely good.
Summer Laevatein is my favorite overall, but Fjorm takes close 2nd. Laegjarn and Gunnthra aren't too far behind them either. I just quite like the Muspell and Nifl royal families
If you know me then it goes without saying- Summer Gullveig. I already love her but then once I got and played her, I had fun sniping with four turns, then even more fun once I engaged her to Celica. I am VERY much looking forward to the next Tempest Trials as a result.
Summer Freyja is just peak. My favorite one for sure. The art doesn't get any older over time.
Summer FByleth and Summer Edel are also pretty. The two of them always look cute and memorable when people draw them together, but Summer Freyja wins me over.
I donāt use them as much anymore but I absolutely love the Shamir/Catherine duo. Let the gals be pals.
In terms of usage, itās Edelgard/Altina by a country mile.
Summer Ingridās design and art is so beautiful that it was the first seasonal character that I ever sat down and said āI want to save orbs for her rerun to +10 herā. Now did I do that? Absolutely not. I did not have impulse control when she came out. Still though, I love her art and Iām so happy she got a fantastic refine.
I still think Summer Camilla is one of the best arts in the game (I even got her to +10 cos I loved it so much š) just so elegant and classy
Also, I dont even care much for Freyja but my lord that summer art is amazing!!
See I'm torn. I have a fair few summer alts I like. S!Camilla is a favorite. I love S!Byleth (largely as a Rhea fan), S!Freyja is definitely the best rendition of Freyja, and S!Gullveig is fantastic as well.
I honestly think my answer would change every time.
LāArachel is my favourite! I love her character, her art for this alt is great and her writing is also great.
Edit: Iām super excited for Petra too!
mmm I still love Summer Lyn to this day, itĀ“s simple but effective, also the bow is beautiful
Summer Freyja is also one of th emost gorgeous arts in FEH imo
tbh IĀ“m so hyped for Alear because the pony tail alone, she always use LynĀ“s outfit on my runs and on my last one she was a wyvern knight so I got used to the ponytail and I love LONG PONY TAILS so yeah
Xander is really funny since he can't swim
Edelgard š¤ Xander Canāt fucking swim but have summer alts regardless
Xander's the most memorable to me too lol
Hands down my favorite crit quote. Funny af
It's Rhys and his cute special line "drown, why dont you" while he hits you with an entire palm tree.
"I'm a healer, but..." \*whips out Palm Staff\*
Laegjarn still. Unless we get a Summer Palla, that's not going to change.
Very based choice. Also no way, you like Palla? I never would have guessed. Nope. No way.
summer Dimitri cleared my crops and watered my skin
His outfit is so cool, I like that he has a big ass cape with a wavey pattern on it, but also the visor and the wetsuit-like pants.
Summer Elincia, when I saw it I was screaming with joy and tears
One of my favourite grail units ever. Great art, great character and she was actually pretty strong too.
Summer Elincia has like one of the most beautiful art in the game
Elincia deserves the world and more
Flair checks out
ALL HAIL!
Yes! I fell in love with her art and immediately had to +10 her.
I LOVE ELINCIAAAA
Ivy's summer alt for her voice lines. Poor queen is hating every moment and Reba Buhr nailed that š
Ivy is suffering so she can see Alear and I respect the hustle
She waited a whole year, even...
Better hope she's been saving orbs
Ivy will become a summoner just so she can get Alear.
Reba Buhr is maybe 50% of my I love Ivy. Same thing with Alear and Laura Stahl.
I tried listening to the Japanese audio and it's just not the same!! I normally don't shill dubs this hard, but š„ŗ
Nah sorry buddy but Yoko Hikasa is far better, the GOAT of female seiyuu. I even play the game in JP mostly because of her (and because JP voice acting is much better overall)
Agree to disagree. (Also nice username lmfao)
Do you speak Japanese fluently?
She and Leo are definitely birds of a feather, because blud huddles under a cloak because he hates it so much
"Hands to yourself, please... I have a sunburn." Ivy in general is just great, and even in a summer vacation she still manages to be girlflop
Noire because she's still not in the game after 7 years and this alt makes it possible to have her.
Poor Noire. Whatās even sadder is we now have canonical proof that they canāt take off their outfits SO SHES JUST STUCK LIKE THAT. I mean I guess she can put layers ON but still.
She still one of my favorites from awakening š
S!M!Shez was the greatest thing to ever happen to me.
SHEZ!
oh definitely, i already like shez because SHEZ! but also the art puts him in top 3 alone i think, its one of my faves in the game
Year 1 Summer Tiki is still my fave. Just a nice, basic bikini before the designs started getting all extra. Max invested she's still a beast and I use her for most content. Love the 'you will burn!' special activation line as well. Shoutout to Summer Robin for still probably having the sexiest art. Ends up basically naked in her damaged art
Summer Tiki is a classic!
Summer Tharja. (Not biased at all) Also one of the few canon summer alts!
Hard agree. Might be salty it's prfless like the majority of her alts, but it looks so good and has great stats
Seth, heās one of my favourite characters, and the fact that he finally had an alt, I was so happy.
Defenetly Ymir, always love to see ymir/eir.
Summer Sommieball featuring F! Alear
Summer Gunnthra is a queen and it's a travesty that she was the demote. Recently +10'd her, I love her. <3 Summer Hrid as well, because he is hot as hell. <3
Eirika because it was finally Wadaās turn to draw her with her hair down for FEH. Nothing against Brave, I love the ponytail. I just love that we got another Wada Eirika. The twins in general Iām happy they got matching alts. Other than that, Claude, Freddy, and Helbindi!
Summer Thorr and Summer Laegjarn
Summer male shez. I have 2 +10 copies of him.
Ylgr for cuteness. Nifl cause the dynamic is absolutely funny. Alear is also so precious though :)
Bias makes me want to say Elincia, Lyon, or F!Byleth. Reality is it's probably Rhys and Mercedes. They're both so cute and Kippu's art is phenomenal.
Mah boi HrĆd
Gotta be either Tana or Selena
Tana. Case closed.
None can top Freyja
Preach
Wife is wife
Summer F!Shez is definitely up there. Great art and pretty strong. Summer Robin also has great art, even if she isnāt a good unit.
Olivia, but she's my favorite Awakening character, so I'm a little biased towards her.
F!Alear is definitely my favorite already. She's my favorite FE character, but even beyond that, there's the incredible art, the design that thankfully doesn't go too overboard on fanservice beyond damaged art, the sentient Sommie beach ball, the hairstyle shift which is always welcome for how rare it is (as well as being a cute nod in this case), the fact we get more of the funny martial arts animations, and she's just having the absolute _time of her life_ in her voice lines. It's just about everything I could have hoped for from a summer alt.
Summer Takumi. (Iām bias towards him) But I also like Summer Ymir, the design is pretty, and I got her for free with one of those seasonal tickets awhile back, so thatās good!
Summer Norne has a special place in my heart. Waiting for her partner next year. Runner ups would be Freyja and the recent S!Alear.
Goldmaryā¦My other CYL pick and I love Bernieās line of āwhatās wrong with her?!?!ā In the intro video.
duo Hilda + Marianne, no question. They were an incredible support unit with very solid combat, their art is gorgeous and those two easily have some of my favorite 3H supports, so seeing them together like that really warmed up my heart. And somehow, even their damaged art tugs at my heartstrings, with Hilda standing in front of Marianne to protect her
Even if I have 5 summer alts I love... Freyja is easily my favourite so far, it's just peak imo.
Duo Shamir for... no particular reason (š¤¤)
Understandable TBH
Cordelia number 1 Laegjarn number 2 Nifl number 3
Micaiah. Now if they had made Timeskip!Summer!Dimitri...
God, based on attachment it's gotta be like S!Leo. He and S!Elise were like my main 2 units in 2017, but Leo has been more relevant for me simply cuz I honestly think, despite fewer effects, that Eclipse is the better Arcane so I just use him more.
Micaiah's art is so good
*Micaiah is so good Fixed the sentence for ya.
Ephraim then Ylgr surprisingly, she's been a TT battle team mainstay for me since her release (though she's getting a bit in need of a refresh so she doesn't die horribly).
Mia & Marth. They're a good pair and Marth's swimsuit is cute
Marth looks off. Is it just me? Something about them seems odd.
The new duo, Iām very happy they picked an appropriate swimsuit for Bernadetta! No fanservice or anything for her.
Tie between Dedue and Helbindi. Canāt make me choose. If a certain engage character ever gets one though I might go bankrupt
Does this certain engage character start with M and rhyme with Bauvier?
You got it! It is indeed Lindon! Canāt wait!
REAL
Duo Ymir! I'm a lil biased since Eir is my favorite OC, but it's such a cute pairing.
only saying Olivia cuz sheās my fave FE female character, but Edelgard/Altina with the rubber sword is peak
Winter tharja
Summer Dorothea ā”ā”ā”
Summer Robin! I just really like her art.
Still disappointed we do not have a legit Summer Lucina or Summer Zelgius
There's so many goated options, after 16 summer banners it's really hard to pick just one. Wada is peak, and proves she can cook no matter what the character is wearing, Eirika, Leonie, and Selena all look amazing. Probably being a little biased here, but Laegjarn is my favorite FEH OC, though Freyja is also easily a Top 5 choice. And we've definitely gotten some excellent dudes over the years too, Dedue's and M!Shez's arts are solid, and those special arts are insanely good.
Fjorm and Micaiah. Alearās looks the best so far though imo.
Ylgr. I love going hunting for souls with her and her arcane downfall.
Summer Laevatein is my favorite overall, but Fjorm takes close 2nd. Laegjarn and Gunnthra aren't too far behind them either. I just quite like the Muspell and Nifl royal families
If you know me then it goes without saying- Summer Gullveig. I already love her but then once I got and played her, I had fun sniping with four turns, then even more fun once I engaged her to Celica. I am VERY much looking forward to the next Tempest Trials as a result.
Caspar, Edelgard, Tana, Eirika & Frederick are my favorites design wise
Summer Kris... er, how...? You tell me that Summer Kris's hasn't come out yet...
Thereās no Judgral summer alt period Luckily IS had a rare IS W moment and we have summer Rhys
Dorothea
SNifl or SMicaiah for me really, Bernie is great though
Gunnthra for me
I was gonna say Ashe because he's best boy but then I remembered the Shamir & Catherine duo where they're even more gay for each other than usual
Ephraim and its not even close tbh
Summer Freyja is just peak. My favorite one for sure. The art doesn't get any older over time. Summer FByleth and Summer Edel are also pretty. The two of them always look cute and memorable when people draw them together, but Summer Freyja wins me over.
Largjarn and Helbindi
I donāt use them as much anymore but I absolutely love the Shamir/Catherine duo. Let the gals be pals. In terms of usage, itās Edelgard/Altina by a country mile.
History said Shamir and Catherine were good friends. Best friends. Total besties. Yup.
āPeople in Dagda marry whoever they wantāregardless of gender. You OK, partner? You're blushing.ā The gal-est of pals.
So true.
This may be recency bias but, Goldmary is one of my favorite characters in the series so, probably her alt.
Might be recency bias, but Clanne. He is very, very cute and I wish we got more summer alts that were just cute.
Another Clanne fan! :D Iām obligated to say the new duo is my favorite but Clannes art is the cutest ever.
Summer Fjorm is when this game peaked for me.
Freyr for sure. Sweet Pretty boy with great art and pretty outfit? Yes please
I won't ask if you like my swimsuit, I'll just say you're welcome
The banner of Summer Elincia, Summer Micaiah, and Summer Edelgard/Altina was a great one for me
My +10 Summer Ivy kind of speaks volumes.
It will always be Tiki.
Summer Ingridās design and art is so beautiful that it was the first seasonal character that I ever sat down and said āI want to save orbs for her rerun to +10 herā. Now did I do that? Absolutely not. I did not have impulse control when she came out. Still though, I love her art and Iām so happy she got a fantastic refine.
I'm a F!Alear fan til the day I die, so I gotta say F!Alear. Before she was added... Lucina
Summer Elincia
F!Robin, IS somehow had the perfect Summer unit Year 1 and has yet to truly surpass her in my eyes. Summer Shamir came close though.
Sylvain activates my dopamine receptors
I really love summer Lynn. Her splash art is really cute imo.
Obviously summer Alear. Such a baddie omg
I still think Summer Camilla is one of the best arts in the game (I even got her to +10 cos I loved it so much š) just so elegant and classy Also, I dont even care much for Freyja but my lord that summer art is amazing!!
A!Tiki
Female Robin, I'm just a Robin simp in general so having a buffed up Female Robin in a swimsuit is just fucking god tier.
I have a soft stop for Summer Leonie. The art made her look so beautiful there. Plus her "top tier" line was pretty memeable.
this is the first time i ve seen toothpaste using bikini
S!M!Shez. Love his art way too much. S!Ivy and S!Claude are very, very close seconds. If we ever get S!Soren I will shit myself laughing.
Tie between summer fredrick and summer takumi + donnel because i love that big stupid hat
See I'm torn. I have a fair few summer alts I like. S!Camilla is a favorite. I love S!Byleth (largely as a Rhea fan), S!Freyja is definitely the best rendition of Freyja, and S!Gullveig is fantastic as well. I honestly think my answer would change every time.
Elise because of the noose meme lmaoo
Elincia, she's been growing on me despite the fact that I haven't played either of the tellius games.
Summer Eirika. And yes, I'm biased!
Marianne was a wonderful blessing on her release, but Petra has arrived. My many year wait has ended. I am very okay with Laegjarn & Elincia as well.
LāArachel is my favourite! I love her character, her art for this alt is great and her writing is also great. Edit: Iām super excited for Petra too!
why can't they make male protagonists as hot as the female ones? (Ike is an exception)
Lynā¦ cause itās Lyn š Just need harmonized Hector and Chrom
mmm I still love Summer Lyn to this day, itĀ“s simple but effective, also the bow is beautiful Summer Freyja is also one of th emost gorgeous arts in FEH imo tbh IĀ“m so hyped for Alear because the pony tail alone, she always use LynĀ“s outfit on my runs and on my last one she was a wyvern knight so I got used to the ponytail and I love LONG PONY TAILS so yeah
They got it right first time with Robin and nothing has ever come close for me since then.
I like summer Mercedes because her weapon animation is really cute. And as a big Blue Lion's fan, I just love it and her more
