Analysis of Duma Banner Jan 29, 2019

Show notes

A colorless mythic hero who is going to be better than I expected? Hahaha, no, this isn't Eir, even though granted she was better than I thought, this is Duma! I didn't expect him to be a Mythic hero, or legendary, or hero in fact, I thought it would be a long time before we saw him in the game, but apparently the wait was not so long!

Duma is an armored colorless dragon, and his fell breath will purge all.

Thank you so much for listening, I hope you enjoyed, if you would like to reach out to the show you can do so at r/fehology or fehology@gmail.com. If you would like to reach out to me directly you can do that at illialidur@gmail.com or on Discord at Illialidur#1130. If you would like to support the show, you can do so through Anchor at anchor.fm/fehology. We are on a money craze right now since we just were coerced by Anchor into doing sponsorships, but just so you get the conversion rate, a 10$ donation to FEHology gets us as much money as watching a thousand monetized episodes of FEHology with our current sponsorships, so it is very much appreciated. Happy summoning and I hope you schedule another appointment with your FEHologists real soon! Take care.

The Raven King Jan 29, 2019

Show notes

Humans consider my black wings ominous, I am told. Far be it from me to challenge your preconceptions... I will be your doom.

Wow, spooky, no need to lay the villain character on so thick. Naesala is the first flying laguz in the game, and as such has the unique privilege of being the first self sustainable 3 movement flyer in the blue field, and boy does he represent!

A Beastly Banner - Rulers of the Laguz Analysis Jan 19, 2019

Show notes

A hawk, a wolf, and two herons walk into a mobile game... and I have no clever punchline to follow that up, so all I will say is they nuke the meta. An incredible A slot, meta bomb B slot, brand new Emblem C slots, and weapons that boost the limits of units in Heroes are just some of the things the Laguz have given us, and here are my opinions of them all!

Thank you so much for listening, if you would like to reach out ot the show you can do that at our subreddit or r/FEHology or via email at fehology@gmail.com. You can reach out to the anchor at illialidur@gmail.com or via Discord at Illialidur#1130. I am looking for a co-anchor or two to help with the new updates to the game since there is so much to talk about and so little time for me to cover it all, so you can reach out to me at those two places if you are interested. And finally, as always, if you wish to support the show you can do so through Anchor at anchor.fm/fehology. Happy summoning, best of luck, and I hope you schedule another appointment with your FEHologist *slight pause* real soon! Take care.

Beast Units, Finally. Finally Finally Finally! Jan 10, 2019

Show notes

This has been two and a half years in the making. We have been waiting for Beast Units since launch, and they picked some very good ones to start us off with. The RD banner is not disappointing, that is for sure!

I will try and do an analysis of them once things settle down a bit, and I wanted to inform you of an episode posted at the subreddit. The New Years units were going to get an episode for themselves, but Anchor decided to not let me record it. So I did the next best thing, I posted it to the subreddit! You can read up on my opinions at r/fehology, the official subreddit of the show. You can reach out to the show at fehology@gmail.com, to me personally at illialidur@gmail.com or on Discord at Illialidur#1130. If you wish to support the show, you can do so through Anchor at anchor.fm/fehology. Good luck summoning on this banner, we have waited long enough for these units...

Legendary Azura Analysis Jan 04, 2019

Show notes

A new Legendary hero is here, and you know what that means! An analysis of Legendary Azura with mild confusion over her stats amd combat potential, what else? Also, Grepstein finally made it to the Legendary Prediction board.

Thank you so much for listening, if you would like to reach out to the show you can do so at fehology@gmail.com, or through the subreddit at r/fehology where you can answer the question that plagued the anchor, how to rate Legendary Azura. Combat wise, she is terrible, but support wise... she is very very good. How would you rate this? If you would like to get connected with said anchor, you can do that at illialidur@gmail.com or through Discord at illialidur#1130. If you would like to support the show, you can do this through Anchor at anchor.fm/fehology. As always, schedule another appointment with your FEHologists and I hope to see you again real soon!

Hunker down, the fortress banner is here. Dec 27, 2018

Show notes

The Fortress banner is here, and my heartiest recommendation is to sit this one out! Why? Because there is no Seth focus when their easily could have been one.

If you would like to reach out to the show, you can do that at our subreddit of r/fehology, or through email at fehology@gmail.com. If you would like to reach Illialidur, the anchor, you can do this at illialidur@gmail.com, at the subreddit, or on Discord at Illialidur#1130. If you would like to show your appreciation to the show, you can make donations through Anchor at anchor.fm/fehology. Thanks for listening!

December Legendary Banner Analysis Dec 27, 2018

Show notes

Yes, it is that time of the month again! December's legendary banner was just announced and I talk you through the units that appear on it. There are some very good units on the banner and most of the episode is spent explaining why it is hard to pick the best and worst colors on it. By the way, Grepstein finally gets a point.

If you would like to reach out to us, you can do that at r/Fehology, our subreddit. Or, alternatively, you can reach the show via email at fehology@gmail.com or the anchor at illialdur@gmail.com. If you wish to find me on Discord, you can do that at Illialidur#1130, and if you appreciate the show and wish to monetarily show it, you can do that through Anchor at anchor.fm/fehology. Thanks for listening!

Wait, Cecilia throws what? Gifts of Winter Banner Analysis Dec 23, 2018

Show notes

Are you ready for more Armor Units who are not actually dressed as Armor units! I know I sure am! The Gifts of Winter banner brings new variants of my favorite Lords, a cute chicke... dragon, and a Mage General who is fighting with a boot.

Come to think of it, what weapon type would a boot actually be? I mean, Dagger or Shuriken... I personally would have said axe was the most likely but I guess ranged was needed. Also of all things why throw a boot full of candy at your enemies, that seems more like a luxury than attack. Maybe weigh in on this at the official FEHology subreddit, r/fehology. If you want to contact me directly, you can email me at illialidur@gmail.com. My Discord tag is Illialidur#1130, and I am happy to answer questions or chat there if you prefer it to email. You can email show tips at fehology@gmail.com, that account is still being managed OR to any of the addresses mentioned before. If you have saved orbs from this show, money for orbs by the power of our guides, or just wish to show your appreciation for the show, consider Listener Support through Anchor at anchor.fm/fehology.

Other than that, I hope you enjoy the episode. Check out the subreddit for an explanation on why my voice was changing pitch throughout the show, there is a very good reason.

Eir - Merciful Death Analysis Dec 13, 2018

Show notes

Illialidur takes you into the stats of the new Mythic Hero Eir and presents analytical opinions of her performance while relating a few potential builds and explaining the effects of her weapon, brand new inheritable B slot skill Mythic Boost 3, and uninheritable C slot Mythic skill Sparkling Boost. Additionally, an explanation of the scoring changes brought about by Eir in Aether Raids is given with mild speculation on effects in the future.
