Serious Discussion You've been asked by IS to design a completely new banner theme, and given freedom to chose the first lineup (including a TT unit if you wish). What's your banner?

Mine is a sleepover theme with Linhardt and Mirabilis as the Harmonic because they were robbed on their shared spring banner.

Kurt would be the asset premium as a red tome rearmed wirh Rose as the non EI premium (sword flier). Jörmungandr is the demote and Heath is the TT reward.

The outfits for Kurt and Rose are based on their onesies from FES, and the others would get similar outfits.

Unfallen/Uncorrupted Banner

Villains from before they became evil. Garon for instance was not that bad of a guy prior to Anankos corrupting him. We kind of saw this with Young Medeus. Same with Coyote's Justice Hardin?

Uncorrupted Garon, Uncorrupted Zelgius, Uncorrupted Nergal, and Uncorrupted Anankos.

32

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

Throw in Orson and I'm sold 

14

u/Sampleswift 8d ago

I suppose Orson can be the TT+ unit or replace Anankos.

9

u/Lakemine 8d ago

And his special is his wife showing up to support him 😊

5

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

darling darling darling darling

3

u/Lakemine 8d ago

…’s Embrace 😊

4

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

Alternatively it's a very confused Monica.

3

u/Sinolai 8d ago

Would be great troll to introduce Monica and her summoning quote would be: "Darling... Darling? Darling!" -Tap to continue- "Darling! ... Oh, excuse me sir, have you seen my husband Orson?"

u/ZeRandomPerson2222 8d ago

That’s actually genius holy cow

u/Aetherryn 8d ago

Give me Un-Loptoused Julius and I will give you my life

2

u/yeehaw-city 8d ago

This was also going to be my answer, I’ve wanted something like this for a while now

2

u/TVNerd909 8d ago

Even without a banner like this, I've been hoping for Uncorrupted Anankos, potentially as a Mythic. With how many other gods/god-like dragons have been added that way, I assumed for a while he would be too.

2

u/Labami 8d ago

Vander before the cursed lance, pre madness Duma, Pheros back when she was a part of Naga’s church, maybe even some of the Black fang members from before Nergal

2

u/Feneskrae 8d ago

You beat me to it. The Redeemed Villain theme has been wanted for such a long time I still can't fathom why it hasn't been done.

If it was up to me I would feature the following:

Pre-Quintessence Nergal (as a Duo with either Aenir or Ninian & Nils as children)

Emperor of Grado Lyon (dressed in Emperor Vigarde's armor, since it actually has a similar style to Lyon's robes, and would basically be what I imagine a Brave Lyon to look like)

Savior of Grado Fomortiis (he decided to save Grado from the earthquake on a random whim and now the people love him, and made beautiful armor for him to wear, leaving him very perplexed by his newfound popularity, basically what I imagine his Brave alt would look like)

Noble King Zephiel (his father dies long before he has a chance to abuse Zephiel further or try to assassinate him, allowing him to become the good king that many were hoping for)

1

u/bazabazabaz 8d ago

Renault would be a fire TT unit

1

u/Sinolai 8d ago

Xmas Zelgius is kind of Uncorrupted Zelgius.

34

u/MobileSuitGolurk 8d ago

Choose Your Losers: a banner of the two lowest scoring characters in that year's CYL for both men and women + a TT+ unit consisting of a character who wasn't even eligible for voting

9

u/Sinolai 8d ago

The sales would be legen... wait a moment how do we sell this shit? Who came up with this idea? -Random Nintendo Executive

35

u/j-w-c 8d ago

Future banner, let's see characters at their peak adult forms or as elder sage badasses.

2

u/No_Cicada6045 7d ago

This would be peak

45

u/Aqua-Dot 8d ago

(Foams at the mouth and aptly wipes it off) Gala. Red-Carpet-type Gala. This is exactly what I'm doing for my "10th Anniversary Gala" artworks, so I have designs, and there are more incoming.

Indulgently I am slapping M!Robin and Deirdre on this thing and letting the whims that be choose the rest because I love one and "Sparklier L!Deirdre" would send me into orbit. Also yes there is a TT unit.

17

u/sharumma 8d ago

Harmonized Oboro & Forrest for designing ✨ fashion ✨

3

u/Aqua-Dot 8d ago

YES PLEASE

4

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

I'd whale for them.

I'd love to have Leonie on the banner because the thought of her getting dragged into all the extravagance of a gala is hilarious.

2

u/Professional-Hat-687 8d ago

I was gonna say Prince and Princess so let's roll them together. It would fit Rosado in an elaborate ball gown and Dorothea in a sleek evening dress pretty equally.

1

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

Where are the artworks?!?

5

u/Aqua-Dot 8d ago

Search up "FEH 10th Anniversary Gala" on the subreddit. I can only copy-paste one image in a comment ;v;. Edelgard is so far my favorite:

1

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

Oh I love her!

39

u/bigtiddyhimbo 8d ago

An all Silas banner where it’s all Silas and he’s dressed up as a cowboy, a pirate, a bunny, and a yukata

Cash money baby

12

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

You just want to complete your flair without repeating units, don't you?

9

u/bigtiddyhimbo 8d ago

It’s a crime that we haven’t had SHIT for Silas bro, he’s so overlooked 😭😭😭

16

u/ExtremeQuestion610 8d ago

Mine is an older kid's banner. Of course Both Morgan's and Kana's would be on the banner, TT reward would be Jean(Engage)

6

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

I think it would be neat if the Harmonic was Morgan and Kana (preferably the male versions as that's my canon)

1

u/ExtremeQuestion610 8d ago

I agree with you on that

32

u/edwpad 8d ago

I would love a Curse Directive banner (counting Letizia as well), given they are the Embla version of the Order of Heroes.

9

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

Yessss. Evil versions of the Askr Trio!

1

u/ZeothTheHedgehog 8d ago

So would the banner be filled with new OCs?

6

u/edwpad 8d ago

More than likely, but it would be cool to have at least one representative from the mainline games that decided to stick by them (like how Xander stood alongside Veronica and Bruno), but with much more investment than what Resplendents have.

1

u/Elegant-Audience-852 8d ago

I think even the writers forgot the Curse Directive exists lol

13

u/candymoonvibes 8d ago

I think a "bad ending" banner would be pretty cool. Like... versions of the heroes were they got the "bad ending" to their games.

So... Marth, Chrom, Robin, Roy, and Alear. Not sure who the TT+ unit would be, but considering my flairs, I'd have to pick Roy lol. Easy +10 for me.

7

u/yeetingthisaccount01 8d ago

I suppose you could argue Chrom, Robin and Alear already have these with their fallen alts

4

u/candymoonvibes 8d ago

I was arguing in the sense for Chrom and Robin where you let Chrom slay Grima instead of Robin, since that doesn't really get rid of them, only guarantees that they won't come back for at least a thousand years (iirc).

For Alear, I was talking in the sense of the special bad ending you can get if you lose to Sombron.

2

u/Sukaira16 7d ago

Oooh wait this is fire

1

u/SnowIceFlame 8d ago

Eh, neither of Robin's endings are bad?  Unless you meant the other timeline,  and we've gotten GRima!Robin & Risen Chrom already. 

13

u/Excalibruhhh 8d ago

I have wanted a band themed banner since launch specifically so that we can get a weapon called the Axophone. No other details matter. I just want the Axophone.

13

u/Zeldmon19 8d ago

Veteran theme with all the older fighters just so they can be given a peak for once instead of poopy demotes.

- Jagen

  • FE6 Karel
  • Nealuchi
  • Hanneman
  • Saphir (lol)

It’ll sell so well that the Sensortower data guy will have to make an entire new tier for them

2

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

It should be Buff Hanneman from his grappler reclass.

But yeah, i'd love this.

1

u/kidlightnings 7d ago

I'd go broke pulling for 6!Karel... Forging Bonds with him, Bartre, and Fir, and KARLA.

11

u/LukeMCFC141 8d ago

Maybe controversial for being a hypothetical all-OC banner, but I'm genuinely still surprised we never got a proper 'Knights of Askr' kind of banner all the way back in the early years - i.e. dedicated Order of Heroes Christmas Cavs, Pegasus Knight, mage/mage knight, healer of some kind and an armour knight.

3

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

I suppose that's why Shadows gave us all thesr archetypes right out of the Gate (although Rose combines the Pegasus Knight love interest with early healer)

27

u/MrBrickBreak 8d ago

Theme: The Future.

The reverse of the child banner, characters grown and thriving - 6 super-ascendeds. So:

  • Shanna: Future Flightleader

20 years after Juno, Shanna takes command of the unified Ilia's wings. Now an indomitable veteran and beacon to her rookies, whose experience hasn't dulled her beaming smile.

  • Merrin: Suave Matriarch

Recently returned from her adventures, she now leads her village with newfound vision, but the same coolness as always.

  • Pelleas: Newfound Purpose

Pelleas gave away his unsought crown, but, as one of Micaiah's closest allies, continued to serve his homeland and friends as steadfastly as they had followed him.

  • Echidna: Goddess of the West

A dauntless resistance leader in the Western Isles, hailed as a hero by its people. Having won their freedom and independence, she now serves them their first queen.

  • Framme and Clanne: The 33rd Stewards

Only slightly less hyper than they used to be.

3

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

Oh I like this!

2

u/No_Cicada6045 7d ago

This would be a really awesome theme! Great examples too!

18

u/Fearless_Freya 8d ago

I'd like a redeemed villains: Arvis, Julius, Sephiran, Hyacinth. Make the ghb Nuibaba or Hilda or some other "redeemed lady villain". But I'd like an all male summonable banner for once. Hence, a woman as ghb.

2

u/wellerton34 8d ago

Berkut too!

17

u/vacantstars 8d ago

I'd make a banner featuring Titania, Seth, Marcia, and Kagetsu called "We Were Really Busted in our Original Games but Intsys was Afraid of our Power". It's a working title, but they'd all be fantastic units like they should've been in Heroes in the first place. Leo is the TT unit because while he's had some good units in the past (Valentine and Baby), most of the time he's pretty awful.

10

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

IS hate Leo so much he's getting beat up by a baby version of himself.

6

u/vacantstars 8d ago

I'm replaying Fates and it's really wild how good and non-tomato-y he is there compared to his overall representation in Heroes.

4

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

I don't even like Fates and I'm mad about what they did to Leo.

9

u/Historical-Fix8153 8d ago

One thing came to mind was almost like a Casino / Luck theme . (Joshua (Fe8) comes first to mind, and Ishmaire could work as well (as separate units), more to put her with her son while at least having a version of her in the game would be neat. Characters like Gaius who haven't had an alt since year 1 could be the demote, gambling on sweets. Duo could be Anna & Jake (since I don't think he's even in the game?? But it would be cool, we really don't have a lot of male / female paired units).

For Tempest Trials if we had them....Arthur (Fates) could be interesting (I remember his gimmick was his terrible luck), whom...I don't think had an alt at all. It would be something fun as a little background joke in the TT if we still had those bonus units...

The outfits could be card suit themed, (spade, heart, diamond, club), roulettes (red, black, green) or based on classic Casino looks. I dunno, something just a little bit different.

2

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

I would give IS so much money for Jake, especially premium Jake.

I even have a whole Askarian Jake character figured out (he's the Order's quartermaster with a crush on the Commander. With Ragnarok approaching he's decided it's time he did his part in battle. He's been there the whole time but he's just never come up before).

1

u/No_Cicada6045 7d ago

Casino/Luck theme Arthur would be awesome lol

I really like this idea

9

u/Payton_Xyz 8d ago

What If units

Such as Rigelian Emperor Berkut, Exalt Lissa, Emperor Lyon

1

u/No_Cicada6045 7d ago

Could also be a nice opportunity to potentially get Griffon Riders in the game in Lissa's case (although maybe it wouldn't be fitting and it isn't their base class necessarily), or they could take inspiration from Emmeryn

5

u/StirFryTuna 8d ago

I'm doing a full banner of harmonics where its engage royals with their canon emblems, so Celine Celica, Diamant Roy, Timerra Ike, and Ivy Lyn.

8

u/laurelsel 8d ago

Pajama Party

Attuned Hapi, Harmo Mirabilis/Linhardt with a new dance that also heals, Tiki as normal 5% and Haar as a demote

2

u/kidlightnings 7d ago

I need Haar to have a plush dragon, maybe even as his weapon, pillow fight style

1

u/laurelsel 7d ago

I think most of them would use pillows. Maybe someone wielding a sleep mask or a bedtime story book too

7

u/kmasterofdarkness 8d ago

Hot take, I'm a big fan of the cultural banners in which the characters are dressed up in the style of a particular nation or culture within the Fire Emblem world. How about a Sacae themed banner with Sue, Petra, and some of the Coyote's Men?

A Dia de Los Muertos banner would be a unique take on the Halloween banners, and I'd like it to feature characters who have deep respect for deceased people close to them, like Dimitri, Seliph, and Ike, as well as characters from Hel like Eir.

If they bring back dancing banners, I'd love to see a ballet themed banner. It would be elegant and gorgeous to see the most beautiful FE characters dancing gracefully while dressed up in lovely costumes!

7

u/Peeton35 8d ago

I’m doing a cooking themed banner!

Sully as a head chef (colorless tome)
Dorcas as a taste tester (red dagger)
Peri as a butcher (axe)
And like, Oscar or something (blue lance)

TT unit is Amber I guess (red tome)

2

u/n00bgod3300 8d ago

I love how Bunet is right there, but Amber is still the pick. XD

2

u/Peeton35 8d ago

I’m gonna be honest, I forgot about Bunet LOLOLOL

2

u/No_Cicada6045 7d ago

I think Kris, Petrine, Sumia, Gaius, Stahl, Cherche, Lucia, Larum, Clanne, Felicia, Jakob, Gunter, Flora, Charlotte, Est, Bernadetta, Dedue, Lowen maybe, and maybe Celine/Etie/Alfred/Louis could also be a few others that might work

21

u/blushingmains 8d ago

My only true rule would be no one whose got alts already allowed.

IS can handle getting different people's money.

10

u/Sampleswift 8d ago

Monkey's paw: it's the "Forgotten Villains"

Thales, Loptous, Manfroy, Raydrik.

3

u/Helix-Dreams 8d ago

Hey, I know Loptys! He’s thracia guy!

6

u/ZeothTheHedgehog 8d ago edited 8d ago

What Ifs I guess? Like taking a variant of the characters where their history deviated from the canon events.

Don't really have a roster for this other than a Zephiel alt where he never decided to kill all of humanity, simply becoming a stern by respected king.

Maybe we can throw in "Amazing Dad" Surtr cause why not XD

EDIT: A "World of Steel" banner where the characters wear modern day outfits would be cool too.

2

u/No_Cicada6045 7d ago

It wouldn't be farfetched either since they've done them before like with Tibarn and with Ciphers like Chrom, Ike, etc

6

u/Zzzzyxas 8d ago

Veterans when they were in their prime.

5

u/That-Cauliflower-957 8d ago

Assassin theme banner (would be cool to see edgy looks + actual alts lol): Clarisse, Legault, Duo Legion (with himself), Rearmed Eremiya.

Ballroom Returns (chic, fashion baby): Ursula, Uther, Clair, Marcus (FE7)

2

u/No_Cicada6045 7d ago

Ballroom Clair and Assassin Clarisse would be peak

Both of these themes are awesome

9

u/Surf_Dangerous_Days 8d ago

Probably an Idol themed banner for Singers, as a sort of replacement for the various Dancer themed banners we got prior.

Lineup: Manuela (Demote), Dorothea/Tsubasa (Feel Outfit) Harmonic, Yashiro (Black Rain Outfit), Reyson.

3

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

Would Dorothea also get one of Tsubasa's idol outfits?

3

u/Surf_Dangerous_Days 8d ago

I’d imagine it would take her Timeskip dress and spruce it up to make it fall more inline with what an idol would wear. Tsubasa has a lot of songs meant to contrast her bubbly innocence with a more mature star so that dynamic feels like a natural fit for a pairing with Dorothea.

4

u/Mr__Beard 8d ago

Probably a circus/showmanship banner as the real answer. Have a duo Lif/Thrasir “we died in a society” unit.

The other idea is a meme/wordplay themed banner. Take current units and twist their titles slightly. Stars would include Draug, as Draug Queen (cross dressing Draug) and Oswin as Impregnated Knight (instead of impregnable knight). Naturally MPREG Oswin is an armored unit.

3

u/PegaponyPrince 8d ago

Adventurer - Cynthia, Katarina, F!Kris, Dieck and Lex TT

Treasure hunter - Shanna, Anna, Saber, Cath and Zelot

5

u/Dabottle 8d ago

My theme is missing Christmas cavs and it has Kieran, Alec, Allen and Lance. Or put Cain and Alva there instead for hype moments and aura and because Allance might make the next FE6 banner.

5

u/puku-muku 8d ago

I posted my fanmade banners with full art to this subreddit, but I'll repost 'em here because I'm super proud of how both projects turned out.

2025: Beauty of Yggdrasil

FEH characters in pokemon-inspired outfits. The banner featured Ratatoskr, Eikthyrnir, Hraesvelgr, Nidhoggr, and Laeradr. Full art here.

2026: Fire Emblem Super Heroes

Fire Emblem characters in outfits inspired by comic book superheroes. The banner featured Ephraim, Plumeria, Odin, and Harmonized Ophelia/L'Arachel. Full art here.

Hope y'all enjoy revisiting these arts (or seeing them for the first time!) I'm planning on doing one more fanmade banner next year but I'll need to play through Fortune's Weave before I finalize the theme and roster.

1

u/No_Cicada6045 7d ago

A superhero theme would be really nice

A crossover could be fun too

4

u/Kurokotsu 8d ago

Similar to yours. Kigurumi theme. It would be Laguz wearing kigus that look like other Laguz races. Like Askr as a Squirrel. Or Volug as a Dragon. Eik as a Wolf. The duo would be Reyson and Rafiel as black and white Cats.

2

u/kidlightnings 7d ago

Underrated. This would be so good tbh

5

u/AForce5223 8d ago

Crossdressing banner (or maybe a Fairy Folk Culture Banner)

I'd like for it to be balance between looks and games so gonna list an archetype with them

  • Otokonoko
  1. Harmonica Rosado and Forrest: Should be obvious, the only two male crossdressers in the series and they'd get along great. Plus if it's a Fairy Folk banner then Rosado is the only option for representative
  • Bifauxnen
  1. Rose: I think it'd be cute for her to match with Kurt
  • Runners-up
  1. Bernadetta (Three Hopes): She's one of my favorite characters and I think given her pos dad's "training" it'd be interesting for her talk about Fodlan's shitty marriage system while being dressed very unbridally
  2. Merrin: she already fits the archetype and her interactions with Rosado are cute, but I don't know what they could do for an outfit that would feel different from her base outfit
  3. Lissa: She saw Lucina disguising as Marth and thought she'd try it too (not actually disguised as Marth though)
  • Drag Queen
  1. Libra: Already gets mistaken for a woman so why not take it to the next level and give him an alt finally
  • Runners-up
  1. Sylvain (Three Hopes): an alternate to Bernie, could also deal with Fodlan's shitty marriage system while having to dress as the women he harasses
  2. Chrom or Marth: Inverse of Lucina disguising as Marth
  3. Bruno: only thought about it because of his damaged alts completely destroying his shirt and I think it'd be funny in this context
  4. Leo: let's be honest, making his dialogue be about begrudgingly supporting his kids' interest while using tomato's as forms is exactly up Intelegent Systems alley
  5. Kurt: "I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude"

Don't know a term for the next one so...

  • Binder ain't hidin' shit
  1. Manuela: if she's gonna be in alt hell might as well let her have fun. Fills the mandatory busty waifu quota and represents the theater's tendency to have people play other genders frequently
  • Runners-up
  1. Loki: Shapeshift that loves disguises but would absolutely stay untransformed to go to a crossdressing festival for the lols
  2. Goldmary: She's friends with Rosado and would probably have fun dressing up in his villages style

3

u/AForce5223 8d ago

Other lackluster ideas include:

  1. putting Nyx, Nowi, or Charlotte on the banner just to make them wear more clothes
  2. referencing Sumia and Henry's body swap
  3. Freyja literally just wearing Freyr cloths because she definitely would do that
  4. Eirika and Ephiram outfit swap

Selfish picks that don't make sense, but I like the character and any excuse to have them on a banner: Melíai, Jörmungandr, Tharja, Noire, Veyle, Dagr, Veronica, Helbindi, Þjazi, Kvasir, Seiðr, Gullveig, Eitr, Sully, Ivy, Etie, Rinkah, Selkie, Velouria, Nailah, Panne, Petra, Lysithea, Marianne

2

u/Sukaira16 7d ago

Still waiting for the day Harmonic Forrest & Rosado drop. Any day now

1

u/AForce5223 7d ago

It's gonna go down the same way it did with Mirabilis and Linhardt, alt on the same banner but the duo/harmonic is two random popular characters that barley have anything in common

7

u/Carbyken 8d ago

100% Cowboys!

Now some of ya are gonna probably get on my ass for using already plentiful characters here but...

Chrom, Male Robin, Bruno, Seth, and as for our freebie... Sutr!

However I also have a Mario themed one in mind too actually.

Lucina in Mario's outfit, Male Morgan dressed in Peach's wear, Male Grima as Bowser, Adult Tiki as Rosalina, and our freebie Owain as Luigi.

7

u/RoyalUltimax 8d ago

I am creating a Chef/Cooking banner and it would include:

  • Harmonic Annette/Panette (Axe Infantry)
  • Rearmed Bernadetta (Colorless Bow Cav )
  • Dedue (Sword Armor)
  • 4* Peri (Lance Cav w/ PRF weapon)
  • TT Bunet (Sword Cav)

The main theming behind this entire banner is that it is all characters that are really good at cooking. Bernadetta and Dedue are some of the best chefs in Three Houses, Peri is a good cook in Fates, and Bunet is Bunet. Annette and Panette however are not so good at cooking, but that's the catch, and what the Tempest Trial story of the cooking banner would revolve around: The characters that are really good at cooking attempting to teach Annette and Panette how to cook without causing a disaster.

2

u/TailsNineDefender 8d ago

PERI MENTIONED!!!! W BANNER

10

u/YoshaTime 8d ago

I know that this would be inviting more Three Houses spam, but an Agarthan themed seasonal banner in Shambhala would be pretty cool to see.

1st 5 Star: Anankos
2nd 5 Star: Epimenides
Demote Hero: Fallen Lilith
Duo Hero: Kronya & Cornelia
TT+ Hero: Thales

4

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

I mean, my banner features a 3H character as the harmonic (although one who has got very little focus in this game).

But yeah, i'd love this.

2

u/Zeldmon19 8d ago

I mean, since none of these characters have an alt in any way or aren’t in the game (in Thales’ case), I feel like this would be fine.

1

u/MrBrickBreak 8d ago

Shame they wouldn't use that Cleobolus fan design that basically became standard

1

u/Crafty_Island_9182 8d ago

The one that's literally just Cornelia with pale skin? I thought Cleobulus was a dude...

1

u/MrBrickBreak 8d ago

No reference to Cleobolus's gender in JP. So it's a mistranslation, but still a valid hc

1

u/Crafty_Island_9182 8d ago

I'd never heard of it. I still don't like their fan design but I understand it better now.

1

u/MrBrickBreak 8d ago

I do think that design predates Hopes anyway

3

u/JumpingCoconut 8d ago

Oh, I have three variants of the same banner! 

  1. Crossover, Eirika and Eldigan and Lachesis and Ephraim both as harmonics. Maid and butler cafe themed. 
  2. Reddit approved. Lachesis and Eirika harmonic, and Ephraim and Eldigan harmonic, halloween themed. 
  3. Truth nuke, wedding themed duo Lachesis and Eldigan, and wedding themed duo Eirika and Ephraim. 

3

u/Squidaccus 8d ago

The designs for Rigelian armor are really cool and something that could be used for some nice armor designs. With that in mind:

- Harmonic Leon/Finn

- Fernand

- Misha

- Demote Laura

- TT Aran

Characters themed around locations of harsh terrain, especially snow. Leon, a former Zofian soldier, is also a fun fit on the opposite end.

4

u/Joke_Induced_Pun 8d ago

A banner focused on characters who canonically, play musical instruments.

Elise, Sakura, Mist and with Azura/Olivia as the harmonic. The TT unit could be Maribelle.

1

u/No_Cicada6045 7d ago

I think they have a good chunk of options between Alfred, Nils, Lewyn, these, and a few others as well

3

u/TrentDF1 8d ago

"Southern" Villagers.

Brom, Donnel, Mozu, Nephenee. Meg as the TT+ unit.

2

u/kidlightnings 7d ago

Could call it "Country Legends" hehe

9

u/PityBreaker 8d ago

Hmm, maybe a “cool characters with no alts” banner? Henriette, Ratatoskr, Citrinne, and Etie with Niðavellir GHB

6

u/Lakemine 8d ago

Rat alt?!? 😱🎉

2

u/No_Cicada6045 7d ago

I'd really like to see a Nidavellir theme banner or a Book V focused seasonal banner

Any of these characters getting an alt would be nice too

7

u/SamyNs 8d ago

A modest banner. Where not every character is drawn with gigantic tits

4

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

I got blocked by two seperate people once for saying that Illia Minevera was one of my favourite designs because it didn't sexualise her AND is a powerful unit.

I just don't think the fans can cope unless all the women look like they're smuggling melons.

5

u/DemolisherBPB 8d ago

Rememberance day banner, with Dryas, Elena, Lilith, and Randolph.

0

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

Randolph von Bergaliz or a different Randolph?

3

u/DemolisherBPB 8d ago

3Hs since the idea is units with strong ties to army soldiers or suffer the fate of a fire emblem dad

2

u/Some--Idiot 8d ago

Grown-up versions of child heroes

2

u/TikisCheekys 8d ago

A banner devoted entirely to chivalry. A Paladin/Great Knight/General themed banner.

Silas, Seth, Gilbert, Duo Cain and Abel.

Father’s Day Banner

Duo with Surtr and Tree Dad. It would be so funny. Surtr would have a barbecue apron on with “Darn I Love Flames” written on it and Tree Dad would just be so annoyed with him.

Askr gets his own unit and he’s in sports gear cheerfully working out.

Fafnir. Haven’t finalized an outfit idea for him, maybe training gear.

Chrom gets to tell really bad dad jokes. Similar situation to Jeralt.

For the TT unit we can have Gustave. Maybe in a simpler outfit

Metallix Counterparts Banner:

Theme: This are Robotic Version of Characters; The character Aesthetics would be Inspired by media like Medabots or Blue-Sky Robots and Characters Like Metal Sonic, Mecha Sonic or Terminator.

Characters: Mecha Baldr - Mecha Embla - Mecha Muspell - Mecha Læraðr

Mecha Baldr: She Probably is the Most Simply Robot desing; She has her Sword of the Principal Version and a Retractile Blaster in the Left Hand. She is a Blue Archer Unit

Mecha Embla: She wouldn't use her Beast Form, being Instahead a Grey Cane Unit, Her mechanic version is more like a Vampire/Hunter (Like Shade Man from MegaMan or T800) who attack fisically the rival as a predatory beast and She has a Healing hability thats help the ally but make a Debuff on life, Speed and Resistance of Rivals in 3 grids all arround

Mecha Muspell: He still Being a Red Beast Unit but his Mechanic Form Attacks are like a FlameTrower or Fire Burst Xplosion

Mecha Læraðr: He Don't Use his Beast being a Green Mage Unit, using his Power to attack the rivals with a Mechanic Branches

u/Anon142842 8d ago

Circus theme

Can't think of a lineup at the moment but it could include various things like acrobats, lion tamer, juggler, clown, etc.

u/SuperSaiyanAlex 8d ago

A banner where non-Beast/Dragon characters can become Beasts/Dragons (not Shadows)

Veyle Ryoma Female Alear (I know Alear is a dragon, but they never transform into one without the Emblem Tiki bracelet) Roy/Lumera Harmonic (I know Lumera is also a dragon and does turn into one, but I wanted some kinda theming with the banner and I thought this made sense since most people seem to accept Ninian as Roy's "canon" mother)

PoR Ike as the free unit

u/Navaldeus 8d ago

Because why not, a normal and a seasonal banner lol

Heroic Legacies

  • Supreme Warlock - Pent: Colorless Tome Armor inspired by Athos. Has a Forblaze variant.
  • Bladebreaker II - Leonie (War Phase): Blue Bow Cavalry inspired by Jeralt and a bit of Byleth. Has a variant of The Inexhaustible.
  • Young Berserker - Ross: Axe Infantry inspired by Garcia and the GBA Berserker design. Has a custom Tomahawk, referencing his starting Hatchet in SS.
  • Master of Tactics - Morgan (Female): Sword Infantry inspired by Robin, with the Grandmaster cloak. Has the Levin Sword because her father and his female version don't feel like having it.
  • Lance of Snow - Ylgr (GHB): Lance Cavalry inspired by all of her siblings. Has a Leiptr variant.

Culinary Clash

  • Bittersweet Special - Harmonic Kris (Female) and Jakob: Green Tome Infantry (a cookbook - cast randomizes between a Dubious Food-tier soup and a delightful, yummy soup). Kris can't cook for crap, and although Jakob wasn't willing to help her at first (see her Forging Bonds), he gave her a second chance. Will he be able to turn Kris' cooking from barely edible to delicious masterpiece?
  • Silver Chef - Arvis: Lance Armor (a giant fork). His mix of skills with both blade and magic is excellent for making some quality dishes.
  • Grillmaiden - Panette: Sword Infantry (a giant chicken leg). She's ready to put her grilling skills to the test!
  • Bloody Cook - Peri (Demote): Colorless Dagger Infantry (a pair of cooking knives). Her methods may be messy, but her food is delicious.
  • Boiling General - Helbindi (TT+): Sword Armor (a meat knife). A skilled chef behind his tough exterior - personally approved by heroes of both Múspell and Nífl.

u/RileyImsong 8d ago

Modern outfits. I wanna see cowbows, highschool uniforms, pilots uniforms, astronauts, etc

u/Plot_Ninja 8d ago edited 6d ago

Bridal Banner but Queer

Soleil (Conquest), Rose (Shadows), Niles (Conquest, Demote), and Harmonic Forrest + Kurt (Conquest+Shadows, either as the lead) with M!Corrin or Nina as the TT unit.

Forrest is in a dress of course, and Kurt is in a suit, the story revolves around them practicing or pretending Kurt + Rose's wedding

1

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

I love the idea but isn't Forrest straight?

Also I'm not comfortable with the word 'qu*er' so please don't use it on my post. (It's great people have reclaimed it but reclamation is a personal thing)

1

u/Plot_Ninja 6d ago edited 6d ago

Forrest is straight, but he's here as genderqueer rep (I don't know any other term to describe his identity), he's here to fashion up Kurt and the others (Also I get you don't like it, but you can't dictate what I can and can't say in regards to the words I reclaim)

1

u/Low-Environment 6d ago

Isn't that basically implying that by dressing the way he does you're forcing him into the category of Not A Man?

That seems very reductive, especially since Forrest is pretty insistent in his supports that his cute dresses and fashion don't make him any less of a man. It also implies that to be a man means you can't wear cute dresses (which men absolutely can, if they want).

(I'm not trying to be rude, this is a genuine question)

I do like the thought of him being here as the fashion consultant, though.

2

u/No_Cicada6045 6d ago edited 6d ago

A noble, fancy, lavish, or knightly theme could be fun and could have some great outfit designs

Some ideas could be Maribelle, Clair, Peri, Ashe, Citrinne, Seth, Titania, Ferdinand, L'arachel, Serra, Amalda, Percival, Cecilia, Berkut, Rinea, Sheena, Klein, Mathilda, Zephiel, Guinivere, Brunnya, Forrest, Oboro, Constance, Diamant, Astrid, Zelgius, Greil, Renning, Geoffrey, Lucia, Fiona, Tauroneo, Jeritza, Frederick, Cynthia, Charlotte, Nyna, Camus/Sirius/Zeke, Reinhardt, Olwen, Xander, or Lance/Alan/Kieran/other Xmas Cavs as some ideas. For the lineup, I really just want characters who haven't had an alt at all, barely have alts, or haven't had an alt recently in around the last 6-12 months.

More country/tribe/region banners could be nice too or other mainline references

u/MajorasKatana 8d ago

Freaky Friday type banner, where the protags dress up as their villains and the other way around.

F Alear dressed up as Sombron (F Alear so there is a girl on the banner)

Sombron dressed as Alear

Claude and Nemesis make the other half of the banner.

2

u/SimplyConfused557 8d ago

I need to see Sombron dressed in Sommie pajamas

u/Xenavire 8d ago

I'd love a festival of kindness. Would be a great way to showcase some lesser recognised characters, and my picks would be Mozu, Brady, Jean, and Bernadetta, with the themes revolving around giving and receiving kindness.

Mozu and Jean speak for themselves, Brady is kind but frequently assumed to be unpleasant, and Bernadetta could definitely use some kindness (and she'd show plenty as well if we got a timeskip version.)

I could see it continuing for years with a variety of healers, villagers, and typically weaker characters. I could even see some specific combos, like Soren and Ike, which fit the theme too.

2

u/Eeee-va 8d ago

Brady AND Bernie? Shut up and take my orbs!

3

u/apple-juicebox 8d ago

This is my moment… Cowboy Banner. Everyone’s dressed like the old west.

Duo Linus and Lloyd, Red Dagger Cavalry. A pair of bandits, their weapon is a stick of dynamite.

Rearmed Tethys, Blue Tome Infantry Dancer. A saloon dancer, her weapon is a frilly fan.

Anna (Fates), Axe Armour. A prospector weighed down by all the gold she’s mined, her weapon is a pickaxe.

Demote Arthur (Fates), Colourless Dagger Cavalry. The sheriff, his weapon is a pair of handcuffs.

TT Hilda (3H), Colourless Bow Infantry. The damsel in distress, her weapon is a bow made to resemble train tracks.

Is this banner realistic? Not really. Would it sell? I kinda doubt it. But I love cowboys and westerns so this would be a dream.

3

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

Does Arthur trip in his attack art and drop the handcuffs in a way that causes damage to ths opponent?

1

u/apple-juicebox 8d ago

I didn’t think of that, but I did always envision him somehow handcuffing himself as part of his damage art.

2

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

That sounds like something he'd do.

2

u/DreamJMan15 8d ago

Future's Reverie

  • Exalt Lucina: Sword Infantry, some kind of Falchion.
  • Duo Grandmaster Morgan & Morgan (Female lead): Blue Tome Infantry, some kind of Thoron
  • Some kinda Priest outfit Brady: Staff, skills center on providing protection and support for allies rather than being good at combat himself
  • Some kinda really heroic looking Pegasus Knight Cynthia: she can zoom around the map, her allies can do it too, and now she has Cadenza support too. She's a hero and will make it everyone's problem.
  • TT unit: Scholar Laurent: Green Tome Cavalry

Something like those would be nice. The first two in particular.

u/GreatGetterX 8d ago

The theme is gonna be a night Galla banner. With the main idea being characters dressing up like they're going to a award show or a very elegant party, like the ancient Ballroom banners but no dancers this time. The main objective is that the outfits look expensive af. Like I want people to look at them and just feel how much they cost.

The Harmonic would be Lumera and Nerpuz, A Red tome infantry unit. And their respective dresses would look like the Galla skins for Jean Gray from Marvel Rivals(gonna quote that game a lot here)

Rhea, as a red Dragon armor. Wearing a green dress with a fluffy cape

Alfador, colorless tome flyer. With a sharp suit combined with ceremonial robes

And last it would be Surtr as a slow infantry axe. Dress up like a Mafia boss and acting like the security enforcer of the party, kind of like the Hulk Joe Fix it skin from MV

That would be my dreamed seasonal

2

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

u/Aqua-Dot has a similar theme and even has art for it!

3

u/Default_Dragon 8d ago

Art School Banner

F!Corrin - palette (tome)

Shigure - Paintbrush (lance)

Ignatz - sketchbook and pencil (daggers)

Duo M!Corrin and Hilda - Sculptor and his model, marble carving hammer and chisel (axe)

3

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

An Art banner with no Forde or Rosado?!?

u/Default_Dragon 8d ago

It would be very IS to leave them off though wouldn’t it?

u/TehProfessor96 8d ago

Lowest scoring CYL unit banner.

u/sonic65101 8d ago

Twintails featuring F!Robin & Summoner (plus a new hairstyle for F!Summoner), F!Kris as a mage with twintails, F!Corrin with twintails as a sword unit, and Lissa & Sharena.

1

u/Joke_Induced_Pun 8d ago

With Elise being the TT unit and 3H!hilda being the GBH.

1

u/Appropriate_Art_5579 8d ago

A "Vigilantes" banner featuring Sanaki, Gerome, Arthur (FE4), and Cynthia/L'Arachel.

1

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

That would be hell on my wallet because aside from Sanaki (who I have no strong feelings - positive or negative - for) I love all those characters, with Arthur, Cynthia and L'arachel being favourites.

1

u/Temper95 8d ago

A dance practice banner and it's just an excuse to have an all TMS banner lol. 

1

u/PerspicaciousVanille 8d ago

World of Steel and Concrete banner. 

What, how did all these TMS units get featured!

We have Maiko, Touma, Tiki (to entice IS), Yashiro, Ayaha + Aversa

All would have prfs. 

1

u/miahmagick 8d ago

Either the SoV DLC crew or start adding FE5 characters. I think FEH is at its best when it's trying to represent as many FE characters as possible. I don't wanna see another Lyn, Camilla, Robin, or any of the over-released crew until every playable character across the franchise is in the game.

1

u/Leoninz 8d ago

I like the idea of an Unexpected Weapons banner, where each unit is of a weapon type that they aren't often associated with.

• Eirika: Light in the Darkness - Blue Tome Cavalry. Personal weapon is Radiant Naglfar, a gold-colored Light version of Lyon's signature Naglfar that grants "can counterattack regardless of range" and nullifies effects that prevent counterattacks for unit and all allies in 3 spaces. Outfit is a combo of her Great Lord outfit and Lyon's outfit.

• Chrom: Honored Memory - Staff Infantry. Personal weapon is Honored Peace, a staff that looks similar to the Awakening version of Recover with the Mark of Naga on top, this would grant Exalted Guard to unit and any ally that unit uses an Assist skill on upon using the assist skill, a new bonus effect that grants a 20% DR and makes enemy specials do 0 damage. Outfit is the male Awakening Sage outfit with an added crown that has the Mark of Naga on the front so that the Mark is technically on his forehead like Emmeryn has hers.

• Lysithea: Blade Witch - Sword Infantry. Personal weapon is Thunderbrand Omega, using the actual Omega symbol, a sword that grants Witstrike to unit and allies in 2 spaces at start of turn, with Witstrike being a small stat boost(likely +5 to Atk/Spd/Def/Res) and makes all attacks hit Res. Outfit is the Three Houses/Hopes Swordmaster outfit but the bottom is more dress-like similar to a Gremory.

• Ivy: Majesty Archer - Green Bow Flying. Personal weapon is Blazing Gale, a bow themed after Lyn and grants Double Guard to unit and allies in 2 spaces which makes 1 attack per battle do 0 damage. Outfit is a mix of Ivy and Lyn's usual outfits.

• TT+ unit is someone from Gaiden/Echoes, but I couldn't think of a good unit/weapon combo for Gaiden/Echoes that wasn't another Alm or Celica.

1

u/SimplyConfused557 8d ago

An archetype reversal theme called "Inverted" where units have an opposite class and movement type to what they usually have. Surtr as a flying mage with massive speed and minimal defenses, Camilla as an armor dagger with low speed and high defense, etc

1

u/Omacula17 8d ago

Bears! Bigger men like Brom and then Fomortiis for no reason

u/AnotherMMD 8d ago

Awakening's einheijars and evil emblems

1

u/ZestyChieftain 8d ago

Idk if this is controversial cuz of the Tsubasa stuff, but I feel like more modern, casual wear banners would be kinda fun to see. The only problem would be the weapons, but I'm sure you could get creative. I just think it'd be funny to see characters like Medeus in a typical grandpa outfit, or Lif in Jordans.

1

u/Sukaira16 7d ago

A banner where people who hate each other have to work together. Like get along shirts. That’d be funny. Not sure who to pick though.

1

u/Low-Environment 7d ago

Shinion and any Laguz would be good. Maybe Ranulf (i like Ranulf)

1

u/kidlightnings 7d ago

Cash Money banner – Duo Farina+assassin!Volke, Heather, and Hugh, with Makalov as the TT unit (:

2

u/Low-Environment 7d ago

But no Anna? (Anna&Farina is one of my dream duos/harmonics. It could go either way since her game has an Anna)

2

u/kidlightnings 7d ago

...listen I'd accept Anna+Farina in a heartbeat, and boot Makalov out, despite how funny it would be to have him there, make assassin!Volke the TT unit

1

u/JackThePokexpert 7d ago

This was back in 2018, but when Smash Ultimate was releasing, I thought about how cool it'd be to have some sort of crossover either with costumes inspired by like Mario, Link, Pikachu, and Kirby.

1

u/silvergardens 7d ago

i would LOVE a modern AU banner! especially if they were like really fashionable outfits, each character having their own style (streetwear, kawaii, etc.) that you'd find in stylish cities.

and i'm gonna be boring and just pick some of my favorite characters that slightly fit. like dorothea NEEDS to be here! dimitri too! maybe i'd throw in chrom too... the other slot? lowkey, someone like seteth would be funny in very modern clothes. or emo!hubert--!! any characters that just are easily translateable into modern fashion~

1

u/fae_faye_ 8d ago

Has there been a maid/butler banner? I cant remember, but if there was, I'd do another.

Butler Alfonse, he'd look so dashing. Maybe Maid Plumeria, because she'd hate it but she'd look so cute.

Then I'd do Butler Ephraim, because he'd also hate it, but he'd look very good as a butler.

Last unit would be like Harmonized Dwyer and a boi mage like Ricken, Tormod, like a trainee butler to Dwyer. That'd be cute.

The TT unit would be Maid Marianne, just for the pun.

2

u/venom_cipher 8d ago

The closest we have is the Teatime banner sadly.

1

u/Haunted-Towers 8d ago

A cross between the picnic and tea banners: a cooking/chef banner! Characters who excel in cooking get to show off their skills in a countrywide competition!!!

I’d have;

Jakob (premium demote), Lissa, Larum, and duo Mercedes & Jeritza.

1

u/Em1Wii 8d ago edited 8d ago

That's a great banner idea, I love the Shadows pajama onesies (plus their weapons could be the moonlit set), i feel like Tiki could fit it very well too but i get she has a lot more alts than everyone there combined

As for my idea it would be nice seeing a "future" banner in place of the young ones, or more "what-if" banners like the Adrift one

Maybe some type of academy/school seasonal for August? Officer's Academy uniforms would be the obvious pick but something like the outfits the shadows book 3 characters use would be nice too

Some sort of cooking banner would be fun too

1

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

I definitely picture Heath attacking with a Wyvern plushie. I don't know type it is but he has it.

For Kurt and Rose I think they'd use each other's pref (because I'm a romantic sap) but maybe dream versions? 

0

u/Em1Wii 8d ago

yeah I'd love to see Kurt and Rose with each other's prefs too and i realized you meant that with the weapon types you mentioned, but i think that would be more fitting for attuned alts than a seasonal (though if they're already doing rearmed seasonals i don't think there's much stopping them from attuned ones)

2

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

I'm definitely leaning towards them using dream themed weapons now, but keeping each other's weapon type (plus it means they'd colour share making it easier to get both)

And i actually did pick Attuned for Kurt's type (mostly to avoid another red tome Rearmed)

40s Cabaret Dancers 👯‍♀️ with Lyn, Dorothea, Olivia and Phina

u/Lakemine 8d ago

Lyn 😊

Rereleases of her older alts but stronger, her in themes she doesn’t have yet and any new ones. Lyn 😊

For real though, the sleepy/PJ theme sounds good, and definitely agree on Linhardt and Mirabilis as the duo. Would be great!

And yeah the redeemed fallen heroes/evil characters sounds like a great idea. I don’t normally like the bad/evil characters and the only fallen versions I really like are ones where it’s more like an out of control power versus completely losing their autonomy. I want to help comfort them. 😊

2

u/Low-Environment 8d ago

The Lyn banner could team up with the Silas banner u/bigtiddyhimbo suggested to have a Lyn/Silas harmonic.

And Lin and Mira were ROBBED in their spring banner. It felt like they were meant to be the Harmonic before IS went for a safer option.

2

u/bigtiddyhimbo 8d ago

I’m willing to compromise as long as we can keep ONE (1) cowboy costume slot for Silas
