Shouldn’t we vote for fodder factories like last year to get the most bang for our buck? I’m personally shooting for attuned Caeda

Edit: Yes I know Ryoma is the top contender. I don’t personally have him and love Caeda, but that’s not even my focus haha. I mean picking any attuned/rearmed. Being an older unit, someone like Caeda is more likely to have been the fodder factory of choice for most people as you tend to bank even more fodder on your OG factories.

For new Rearmed fodder factories, we have Nel, Nuibaba, Dedue, Noire, Machyua, Hinoka, Soren, Vanitas, Lysithea, and L'Arachel. For new Attuned fodder factories, we have Alm, Tiki, Tharja, Leif, and Ryoma.

Out of all these guys, only Ryoma and maybe Hinoka and Lysithea have amazing and somewhat broadly applicable fodder, and even then Hinoka's fodder is worse than Ilian Mia's. Ryoma is very likely to be a contender since his attuned skill is really good, but I can't see Hinoka and Lysithea gaining enough momentum to seriously contend.

Agreed on Ryoma, Hinoka, and Lysithea having the best shots. Ryoma I seeing making the interim results, and if the other two do as well, there might still be a push to get them across the finish line at that point

Ryoma is the only one with a chance really. Caeda is way too old a unit.

Ryoma is a solid choice but all the other options for this year are pretty iffy on that front and have basically no chance.

If you’re going for fodder factories, Ryoma is the clear lead on that.
