  1. [Why Cibrylls should not be up past midnight]

    The ♄☠☣⛓☘⚜⛸⚸⛎♬☢☃⚠♄⚔ has invaded!

    Surprised that the card maker actually supports that kind of name for cards though--
    I thought it'd just generate like blocks or question marks.

      Your browser is repsonsible for rendering the cards. Most browsers have quite robust fallback behavior for when a given font does not support certain glyph; using another installed font instead. The results could thus be different depending on which device you use to generate the cards. But it does let you use stuff like Emojis 😀.

      You don't even have to limit yourself to paintings/drawings; You can also turn it into a picture of a plushy.

      Try to use colored areas rather than an outline. A more descriptive prompt might also help. Do you want a realistic dragon, or rather a cartoon one?

      "Give that wolf a banana, before it eats my grandma". Interesting song text… though with the various songs in their native language there might be some other weird ones that fly completely under the radar.

  5. Recently came across a site that uses AI to generate images of new "Pokémon".

    https://nokemon.eloie.tech/

      Given there is quite some variation in art styles between different cards (i.e. "Burning Abyss" vs "Live Twin"), I reckon you could just look for AI that generates images.

      • Dall-E generates images based on a prompt, but it requires a subscription. It does provide a 3 month trial period, with a free credit taht is worth about $18.
      • Artbreeder lets you select a few images and have it generate another one based on it, or tweak some parameters (such as age) to create a different image. An account is required, and any image you generate (upload?, not entirely sure; be careful wih copyrighted works) can be used by anyone.

      With some other, more specialized options out there (focussing on creating paintings for example).

      Also once ran into an AI that turns text to speech using famous voices (FakeYou.com), such as: Spongebob, Yami Yugi, Obama, etc. You could recognize the voices, but there was little control over which parts to emphasize.

  6. Well, with the CYL results out, I'm probably going to go with either Tiki or Seliph, depending on play style. And speaking of Seliph, my next +10 is done, aside getting a +Atk copy.

      Probably Tiki or Chrom for me. But it is similarly depends on how they turn out.

      Any luck with your anniversary special hero? Got a spare spring Severa, which I intend to use to give either Legendary Eirika or Hríd "R Duel Cavalry 4". I'm currently waiting for Hríd's weapon refine to decide who will get the skill.

    Summoning on the new banner getting 2 Neimi (1 from the 40 pulls) and Ascended Joshua, as well as getting my final 2 merges for Sothe. Grinding out Forging Bonds should get me everything I need to get the final merge for Summer Norne as well.

    1. Yemachu

      Yemachu

      Recently finished merging Aversa to +10. I would like to give her "R Duel Flying 4", so she becomes usable for scoring… but I don't have a  (spare) Palla. She will have to make do with "HP +5" for now.

      Currently working on Ninja Shamir. Gave her "Flashing blade 4" (and "Null follow-up") so she can deal quite a bit of true damage. Only need about 150.000 feathers to finish merging her.

      After that I will probably work on finishing to merge Natasha and Colm, though that requires me to first summon respectively 6 and 11 more copies.

    Managed to get Ascended Laegjarn, on top of also getting a Shinon for that sweet Deadeye fodder for her.

    1. Yemachu

      Yemachu

      She was among one of my free summons on the banner. Not really interested in any of the other featured characters, so I can save back up again after failing yet again to add Summer Tana to my barracks (Morgan gave Young Lyon "Atk/Res Solo 4" and "Atk/Res Menace", Perceval has been turned into a combat manual that I still need a target for).

  9. Got some very nice results on the Legendary Remix banner on the way to the guaranteed 5⭐ summon (Fire Emblem Heroes):

    • Siegbert: Future King
    • Ryoma: Supreme Samurai
    • Lyon: Demon King
    • Robin: Fell Vessel
    • Hríd: Icy Blade
    • Ephraim: Legendary Lord (guaranteed 5⭐)

    Also got 2 "Knoll: Darkness Watcher", only one more is needed for him to reach +10.

    1. Yemachu

      Yemachu

      Already had a +10 Lyon, who has a similar stat-line (and preferred weapon), so Knoll doesn't really do anything special for my barracks. Not that it matters; I like the Sacred Stones cast, and he could still be useful for modes like Arena Assault.

      Building a green mage would have been more practical, as I don't have any merged beyond +3 (Boey), but most do not really stand out to me, and the ones that do tend to be 5⭐-exclusive or seasonal. Might finish Boey. Also I'm planning to merge Orochi, but I don't have any copies to merge (yet). And with a bit of luck a nice other option drops soon.

    2nd +10 healer done. Just need to grind out the Forging Bonds event and then Saleh will be my 30th +10.

    1. Yemachu

      Yemachu

      Currently have 11 units at 5 star +10 myself, with  "Saleh: Vernal sage" being the most recent addition. But I'm close to twelve; "Innes: Frelian moonlight" requires just 1 more merge, so he should be finished next month.

      My other projects are currently stuck due to a lack of copies (the closest to completion is "Knoll: Darkness watcher", who sits at +7).

  11. Welll now that the CYL 5 banner trailer is now out, Marianne is kind of a disappointment. Compared to Eirika who very much looks like the 1st place unit. Can restore up to 90% of her total HP when triggering a special, gets canto and foe's Def based true damage. Marth and Gatekeeper both look nice as well as both offensive and defensive support units respectively.

    1. Yemachu

      Yemachu

      Agreed that Marianne would probably have been better of as a regular dancer. Her special can actually trigger in resonant battles, but that requires the foe to survive… which isn't ideal. But it bypasses the penalty/restriction of bringing multiple dancers for modes like resonant battles and grand conquest. Could maybe also be annoying in pawns of Loki. 

      As for healing on hit with "Galeforce": it sounds a bit like a double-edged sword to me. On one hand you have a better chance of surving the next(/current?) combat. But on the other hand it makes it harder to remain below the HP threshold for "Wings of Mercy", and thus make it harder to sweep the enemy team.

      Marianne's "Requim Dance" seems a tad too wonky for my liking, though I suppose that not having to worry about isolation, and being able to refresh allies with skills like "sing"/"dance", gives her some utility. Having it be similar to "Holy Knight's Aura"/"Fire Emblem"/"Righteous Wind" would solve a lot of its issues. Wielding a colorless tome limits her options a bit, but makes her more unique due the small amount of options currently available.

      Reasoning

       

      • Blocked to some extent by "Pulse smoke", "Peshkatz", "Atrocity" and "Melancholy"/"Witchy Wand"
      • Reliably charging it each turn could be an issue, though "Times pulse" could help
      • Might not be ble to get in a position where an extra action can be granted to an ally
      • No precise control over which character is granted an extra option
      • Opportunity cost of boosting her damage 
      • Marianne needs to survive combat (but nor as much of an issue due to it resulting in a game over or score loss anyway)

       

      Eirika does seem far better of with the skills she got. Also, I have seen some people claim that, based on the japanese text, "Lunar Bangle" would negate skills like "Guard" and the tier 4 "Stance" skills. If that is true, she could also be a reliable user of "Galeforce", even if it undermines some parts of her skillset. Yet another strong option for the Sacred stones cast in any case.

      Marth looks like decent buffer, but doesn't really stand out from the many, many other infantry sword wielders in my opinion. Ashera would probably be a great teammate for him so he doesn't have to worry about "panic" nearly as much.

      Gatekeeper's niche of preventing foes from teleporting all over the map seems interesting. I wonder how long it will remain unique to him. But even then, he is still a nice support unit with the area in which he applies buffs.

      I hope that I can manage to summon a few copies of Eirika and Gatekeeper with the orbs Ihave saved up.

    Got another +10 completed. Nearly have Saleh finished as well, though I'm limited by Grails. Plus I managed to get Summer Freyja in my first summoning circle which is also great.

    1. Yemachu

      Yemachu

      Cool. My "Saleh: Vernal Sage" is almost finished as well; only needing one more copy before he is at +10. Just have to wait for when he is available through limited time divine codes. Though I haven't really decided on his skills yet, so he currently has a somewhat random combination of stuff. How do you plan to build him?

      For the first image I'm thinking of either: Scowlar (Scolar + Owl (+ Scowl?)) or Bibliophowl/Bibliofowl (Bibliophile + Owl + Fowl). Some parts of those words might not be entirely applicable, but… ehh.

    1. Yemachu

      In Duelist Kingdom you had the shadow duel between Yugi and Bakura where Yugi incorporated the favorite cards of his friends in his deck, with Joey as Flame swordsman, Tristan as Cyber commander and Téa as Magician of Faith.

  20. Yemachu, when you gonna give us the ability to save/load cards in the card maker?

    1. Yemachu

      Yemachu

      Cannot say it is really NCM exclusive as I publicly host the code on GitHub under a permissive license; others are allowed to create copies, modify them, and host elsewhere. This allows others to continue, should I become unable/unwanting to continue supporting it.

      But I have my doubts about whether people would bother trying to start from where I left off.

      A new version of the card maker, that should make it easier to work on multiple different cards, is being worked on. The ability to upload straight to Imgur is also added. There are however still some things that need to be tested and fixed before it will be presented to you guys.

      My time to work on it is sparce however (after all, it is just a hobby project). So I unfortunately cannot give a good estimate of when it will be available.

  22. the card maker isn't working for me ?

    1. Yemachu

      Yemachu

      The card maker does all the work on your device, and is not that well optimized; it being slow thus isn't entirely out of the question. Though I wonder what is being slow. The main two issues I can think of are:

      • Text appears far slower than you are typing
      • Images take long to load

      Some improvements could probably be made to the former (i.e. not rendering the card on every keystroke). The latter unfortunately harder to fix, but should become less of an issue due to caching.

  23. Have you ever read the entire terms and conditions to something?

    1. Yemachu

      Yemachu

      Maybe skipping over a few words, as is somewhat typical to do when reading. But yes. Though I cannot say I understand what is written most of the time.

      In software development you might use some open source code that is licensed under specific terms and conditions, but these generally use the same license few popular licenses, so the name is generally enough once you know them. With some of them being relatively short (less than 200 words).
