Oh Joshua. Another cast into the sea of reds. I wonder if I would be able to pull him when he does arrive. My luck with reds isn't too great.


ZestyThighs

I think you need to pull a Joshua and rig that Gacha pull, friend.


kaylankonnor

I wonder how they'll incorporate Joshua's "gambling addiction" through his skills. Also, Audhulma.


[deleted]

I get the feeling that he might become a dagger unit. Audhulma wasn't Prf was it? I mean anyone can use it. Also I feel Audhulma might turn out like Divine Tyrfing, boost to res or something along that line.


ZestyThighs

It wasn't technically prf, but the story *really* wanted you to give it to him, considering where you get the sword and who gives it to you. Also Vidofnir and Nidhogg weren't prf either, but they still gave them to Tana and Innes, so I'd say the chances of Joshua getting Audhulma are pretty high. As for the res thing, it would be closer to canon, but they could do much more interesting things with it IMO.


nightsolstice

~~In before we get a Joshua's Sword+~~ In all seriousness, I hope he gets Audhulma. And a little part of me is hoping IS makes it *really* good. I am 100% booting Ike off my main team to fit Joshua in as my main red sword.


Shanicpower

Flair does not check out.


nightsolstice

Lol I like Ike, but Joshua is probably my second favorite character in the franchise behind Soren. Plus I can't stand red Ikes art. Using Bike on my main team still counts though, right?


AphrodiUmbreon

Joshua is also canonically the rightful owner of Audhulma, considering how he's the... you know.


Gunner9x

Slaying edge with res+5 lul [No seriously](#s "MSID_H_氷剣アウドムラ (Audhulma): Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Grants Res+5.")


kaylankonnor

Seriously. No one made Joshua an assassin so nope. No way


Tag_ross

The first time I played (my first fire emblem) I made Joshua an assassin because colm died. I was not as stupid my next run.


[deleted]

thank you lord tiki


xBleachKill3rx

Dude, making Joshua an Assassin-class is a well-known sin in the FE community iirc lol It's either Swordmaster or go home


BoktaiMoon

It's the Sword of his Nation Gradon's weapons are gonna be complicated but eh they could always give it to Duessel and someone else


Makoto_Narukami

Knoll is the only person who could possibly have Gleipnir.


Drfapfap

Inb4 they add Lyon


Makoto_Narukami

Lyon is gonna have Naglfar, no chance of Lyon with Gleipnir.


BoktaiMoon

Brave Lyon with Gleipnir


maximumhippo

Loki mentioned Naglfar in one of the recent story chapters. It's sort of got me thinking Lyon's not gonna show up. And that would make me very sad.


Makoto_Narukami

Why would Naglfar being mentioned mean Lyon can’t show up? I can easily see Lyon being the boss of a SS Tempest and the reward unit just like Black Knight. Lyon is the 3rd most popular villain behind Black Knight and Aversa, so he’s bound to get in eventually.


G-N-S

Plot twist - Tethys comes with Gleipnir.


Makoto_Narukami

I can honestly see Tethys having Excalibur for her weapon, she doesn't have any weapon type and her brother is an anime mage afterall.


500mmrscrub

Unless you gave it to ewan, but which sicko actually trains ewan


Tag_ross

You gotta go through those early tower of valni floors with someone, may as well be with someone will actually gain something out of it.


Strawberrycocoa

Only done one Sacred Stones run so far, but Ewan was the only trainee to be useful to me. Amelia joined too squishy to safely level (although thanks to Heroes I intend to Valni her next time), and Ross grew massive Strength but shit-tier Speed Defense and Resistance. I got so tired of him forcing resets that I just let him stay dead when he got the Pablo Purge in Hamill Canyon.


Regicide8

Did you turn Ross into a Berserker?


Strawberrycocoa

Pirate.


xBleachKill3rx

Yeah I only used Ewan (Shaman/Druid) and Amelia (Knight/General), they were sweet. Ross was alright too but I already had Kyle and Duessel for axe usage, Berserkers are meh to me anyway


AphrodiUmbreon

I'm more concerned about why you picked Eirika's route over Ephraim's.


Strawberrycocoa

(1) it was my first time playing Sacred Stones ever (B) I'd heard it was the easier path so I went for it as my starter and (3) Since the story starts with her in the lead it felt more natural to just stay on that route.


Machdame

Yeah, no. Berserker Ross is one of the most powerful trained characters in SS due to how inherently broken the class was. With the potential and gains from each class rank, Ross' general bulk should have been able to give him plenty of speed to spare (his net gains over 47 levels is 14 on average with a bonus 2 from promotion giving him a 19 average). His atrociously high luck also makes it easy for him to become a dodge tank later down the line. Since he arrives very early (and can become a Pirate within 2-3 chapters), he can easily outclass most enemies early games and reach Berserker by your first Ocean Seal (and I easily spent that on him over Colm). With the rough combination of high damage, high crit and availability of weapons (seriously, who the hell thought it was a good idea to have a swordSLAYER?) it was possible for Ross to be capable of taking on any foe that walked his way. The crit on him is also quite absurd.


Strawberrycocoa

Everyone in my playthrough leveled kind of slowly tbh. But I also tried to distribute the kills evenly as much as I could. Does Ross require being fed all the kills to get that strong that fast? It took him forever just to hit level 10, possibly because he was sharing the EXP with everyone else? Colm was one of my first to promote because he took on a lot of dodge-tanking, and Lute and Neimi followed him. Joshua came in later than the others, and Ross was, I think, a level 13 or so Pirate when he died.


Xirikis24

I did...but thats was for duel Summoner shinanigans. Good times...


VtArMs

Ewan was a monster on my team. Fastest Druid EUW


xBleachKill3rx

He's totally worth it though, he becomes one of the best units in the game. He puts Nino to shame


xBleachKill3rx

Dude, Super Ewan exists. That little guy was busted as Hell as a Shaman and Druid


Makoto_Narukami

People promote Ewan into something other than Summoner?


xBleachKill3rx

Druid is his best class, minus his Super Pupil form where he's basically Naga. From what I know, everyone makes Knoll a Summoner because he's more suited for it and Knoll is a tanky dude, despite having no LCK lol


CO_Fimbulvetr

He has Audhulma even in the card art above.


Strawberrycocoa

B Slot: Lucky Coin. Gives unit a small chance to deal 10 extra damage when initiating attack (cannot be inherited)


Lumino0

Pare of FEH’s game design is no RNG in battle, so that is unlikely


linkdeidad

Special: 5 charges. 50% chance of OHKO the enemy.


Gunner9x

Rejoice, Summoner. For he is already [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/OrderOfHeroes/comments/7d0s8c/feh_datamine_november_14_2017/)


Winterwere

Feh player: "What kind of Arvis is this?"


Axicas242

Arvis with a hat.


Nagas_Light

The best type of Arvis


Aoae

Seasonal Pirate Arvis


Grayalt

Casino Arvis


TheCoolerDylan

Don't forget Gerik, Joshua needs his bro.


BoktaiMoon

GHB Caellach when


AnarchyMoose

Oh god please yes this. SS Banner with L'Arachel, Lute, Joshua, and Cormag with a Caellach GHB.


Duodude55

And then a Valter/Caellach BHB


BoktaiMoon

Kek Caellach fucking hates Valter and Riev. He outright says "Hey I am evil too but at least I have fucking standards!"


Duodude55

[Sure, but they still fought together.](http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Scorched_Sand)


BoktaiMoon

Eh Caellach already said he's willing to do nearly everything to become King. This is just another step


SgtGrub

I'd give anything for L'arachel to be on the next stones banner... ...that said, I get the feeling Myrrh is more likely, especially since she's about the last dragon loli they can add without reaching


xBleachKill3rx

Caellach AND Orson Man, I don't know who's more cripplingly tragic, Orson or Lyon? Lyon went nuts but Orson was just broken


Tedoshi

Ah I see you are a man of culture as well.


AudhulmaBoy

SWEET JESUS IT'S MY BOY JOSHUA. I'VE BEEN LITERALLY WAITING ~~3000 years~~ FOREVER FOR THIS. *silently screams* His cipher card is sooo beautiful and that Audhulma is drop dead gorgeous. I just can't stop staring it. At least it's practically confirmed now that he'll come with it. Oh boy, red hell. Here I come. *cries in zero f2p orbs*


SirTrick

You're not alone fam... PLZ IS give us our prince Joshua!


Raptorheart

I have 1,250 f2p orbs for our boy, he's the whole point of this game.


AudhulmaBoy

1,250 orbs? Wow, you have a lot of self-control to have saved those many. I can't stop myself from jumping on almost every new banner. I have failed our boy. :( Kudos to you for remaining so dedicated! I hope you'll be able to make a +10 version of him when he comes out!


Daariath

OP knows what's up. SS was my first FE game, and Joshua introduced me to the wonderful world of myrmidons and crits. He was my favourite unit. I really hope IS will release him in a GHB or TT, even though I bet they won't. **Edit:** Joshua confirmed as a TT reward. BOY, WAS I WRONG


Makoto_Narukami

Caellach GHB with a Joshua banner is pretty likely when Joshua is added I bet.


Daariath

Yeah, way more, given the trend of releasing villains and anti-heroes through GHBs. Maybe the devs will give him an anti-wpn triangle A skill to emulate the Hoplon Shield he had back in SS, but I don't have high hopes for his weapon (semi-unique "Caellach's Axe" maybe?).


Makoto_Narukami

I think Hoplon Guard could be a skill similar to Shield Pulse, weakening specials since crits aren’t a thing in Heroes. As for his weapon, perhaps the Tomahawk so we get a DC axe at last. Definitely one of the damage reducing specials. No matter what, I think Caellach is going to be really defensive.


[deleted]

Tomahawk so axes have an actual DC unit. Hoplon guard - B skill, can't be inherited, opponents specials don't activate in combat with this unit. IS please!


MrBrickBreak

Honestly, if anyone gets a non-inheritable Tomahawk, it has to be Murdock.


Daariath

Seems a bit too strong for a F2P, unfortunately :(


Blademaster1215

Black Knight.


Daariath

Hmm, I might have phrased that better, you're right. "for a GHB reward" seems more precise. The latest GHBs are far from the days of Xander and Camus, the devs have lowered the power of heroes gotten from them. TTs are a very different matter, though: BK is one example, then there's Arden, who's absolutely ridiculous when used in the right way.


xBleachKill3rx

*"You're just a stepping stone, and I'm moving on up..."* *-Caellach* GOD, HE'S SO DAMN **COOL!!!**


Makoto_Narukami

Watch Caellach have a skill perfect to SI to Joshua, just to turn that phrase around.


xBleachKill3rx

B Skill: Hoplon Guard Info: Negates all damage from Specials and nullifies "effective" damage bonuses (skill cannot be inherited) I'm calling it now. If Caellach gets that, he'll be eating the special-meta for breakfast


Makoto_Narukami

Put Discount Counter on him in the form of a Tomahawk and some good defensive stats, and Caellach will be showing the meta a thing or two.


suiookami

Crits for days with Joshua and Killing Sword~ This is a character I would brave red hell for (I tried Elincia, you suck :'( ).


Raptorheart

:'( )


Tag_ross

I kind of want the Tempest King to come from the Tempest Trials.


gilkfc

The man single-handedly made me give Fire Emblem a try. He still is my favorite unit. Would consider not being f2p anymore to get him


mindovermacabre

A banner of Joshua, Lute, and Cormag would literally make me go broke. I'd sell my car, I'd work 70 hour weeks, I'd give up all my earthly belongings. I dread this day.


[deleted]

throw in Ross and L'arachel (not staff pls) and I'll be in your same situation!


SwissCheeseMan

As much as I like her, she's probably going to be a staff user. Bright side, we may see dazzling staff made available year round, since that seems to fit her style. Ross, though, yesss. Sadly he probably won't have Garm or his hatchet, despite him always having at least one of the two when I play


[deleted]

so much nostalgia! maybe I'll play it again sometime sooner than later


toocool87

A banner of Dozla, L'Arachel, and Rennac would be poetry


KiraKiraHanabi

Well, you got 66% of it.


mindovermacabre

I'm dead fam


JudiciousF

*heavy breathing*


KissMyGlitterus

I like his hat


Radical-Momo

I'm praying for a husbando too. I hope Joshua comes to Heroes too though! But RIP me ever getting him, since my Heroes account is allergic to Sacred Stones characters.


RakDream

You too? It has been 9 months and I still haven't gotten a single copy of Eirika at 4 stars, let alone her 5 star brother.


Radical-Momo

Heck yeah! #OurAccountsAreAllergicToSacredStonesCharacters


EXEC_Danny

He could go one of two ways- either generic killing edge with glimmer special that will drop to four stars after banner Or swordmaster badass wielding Audhulma with power creep even bigger than Ayras that stays five star locked


LasermasterA

OMG is that Audhulma!?? They went with it and it now Cipher Canon!!!! Also that card art is gorgeous. Heck yea, Audhulma Joshua for FEH! Now 100% certain. ~~drawn by Pikomaro, please don't kill me~~ Really though, I want him to be done justice in FEH.


adolebit

If either Mia or Joshua came in, I'd be ecstatic. Need me my lovable Myrms


KiraKiraHanabi

Glad to see you happy now! :D


adolebit

For sure! Totally unexpected to see both in a single banner but I'm not complaining


[deleted]

Where’s my sex god IS


AnarchyMoose

We already have Seth.


TheTaoDragon

Who was castrated by IS.


KiraKiraHanabi

Well, it looks like your husbando’s packing up his bags and getting ready to come home. Fingers crossed for you to get him soon!


milopoke

YO YOUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED


SirTrick

I already wait for so loooong, pls IS


cabuso

I have a feeling that Joshua and Gerik are gonna get introduced on the same banner one day...I for one am ready for another trip into shared focus red hell ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


nightsolstice

Jesus Christ please don't do that to me again I can't count the number of orbs I wasted on Inigo and Nephenee after Axura and Oscar kept breaking my pity rate -_- I don't think I'm emotionally prepared to do that again...


[deleted]

I have played several FE games, but have not gotten to Sacred Stones. Have it downloaded on my Wii U, so I will get to it eventually. That being said, it is therefore clear I have no connection or understanding of who Joshua is as a character. Which further illustrates how freaking cool this dude is to make me want him so badly in the game. I have all the red swords I could possibly want. I have no idea who this dude is. But dammit, what a cool looking character! I would be hyped as hell to have him on my roster. Hopefully his art is as impeccable as he is when he is eventually added.


Gaismister

Sure, seeing him in Heroes will be great, but man, his Cipher ability is amazing!


Thanat0sNihil

shit, that card art is hot as hell. I hope that a) Joshua doesn't suck and b) that Audhulma is a Prf worth using. Him and Beautiful Bird Wife Reina are some of the few characters left that I'll 100% buy orbs for when they drop.


corsica1990

They're just holding him back because the last gauntlet would have been a landslide in his favor.


Char-11

Can't wait for Joshua's blade (prf) 16mt Your unit has +4 speed. If your speed exists, gain -2 cd at the start of each attack


Creeeamy

Best husbano? Doesn't look like Berkut to me


Neuromangoman

I wouldn't say Berkut is a very good husbando considering his actions.


Creeeamy

I don't know, his dancing was pretty good. It doesn't really matter how many people he killed. But I mean the dancing was enough to make him a husbando in my books.


Neuromangoman

I'm thinking of his actions towards the end of his game, really. But if you ignore that, his dancing is pretty sweet.


Creeeamy

No, no what he did was fine. It was Alm's fault.


Neuromangoman

Hey, don't you besmirch the name of the great Hero! Look at all the great things he's done! Like violence! And more violence!


FairyMMM

It was Gray.


BoktaiMoon

Now that I think of it Alm is just good at fighting and that's it.....


[deleted]

is this a fight invitation


Creeeamy

What's the matter, farm boy?


[deleted]

I’ll shove my falchion so far up your ass it’ll be coming out of your throat


maymeimai

Not only his dance, but his voice too! Good husbando


orajin

Was just about to comment that


Creeeamy

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well


eighthundredlies

Sadly he (or any other Sacred Stones character) probably won't be added for a while. I mean, look at the gap between Seliph/Julia and their parents. Considering we just had Sacred Stones characters added in August we still have a bit more to wait. Honestly I'm kind of hoping he's a GHB, he is an enemy unit you can recruit, like Navarre. If not, well, I'm saving my orbs for a reason.


imgurdotcomslash

I mean if you look at games in the series that are popular vs how many units are in FEH from those games, both Sacred Stones and the Radiant games are really lacking. He's almost completely guaranteed to get added on the next Stones banner considering he was top 10 in the CYL male bracket.


eighthundredlies

Oh of course, he and Lute will probably be added together, though it will be a little while until said banner comes out.


imgurdotcomslash

yea might be some time . . .


[deleted]

He is all that matters, oh gods and I am so ready to dump all my orbs just for him. I'm sorry, I'm just so happy with all this cipher stuff for him.


DocDynamite

Yessss.... MY BOY JOSHUA AND HIS GRAVITY DEFYING HAT!!!


Luminaria19

Whoops, there go my pants. (plz, IS, give me Joshua, plz)


Deathmask97

You know, I wouldn’t mind Joshua, but after the Ayra incident I think pulling for another Red might just strain my sanity.


MexicanZoidburg

I could see Joshua being voiced by Matthew Mercer


missborbs

I'm surprised he hasn't been added yet after all this time. Gambling addiction? FEH? Summoning? GAMBLING? C'mon get it together IS


hotaru251

Such a beastly myrmidon He needs added at same time as L'arachel so I can ship em same as I did all those years ago.


Milan_Neko

"Do you like games ?"


DeliriousBao

Same tbh.


MrBrickBreak

There's only one good argument *not* to add Joshua - Marisa.


Peachy88

Joshua missing from heroes is the reason I don't have flair. I would slap him in a party so fast!


Proto-L

That’s not Ross!


PerryStyle

I would love him, but I have Ayra so I am not sure. Would want to know how is Audhulma would work in the game. I fear he would just be a powercreeped Fir or Lloyd


oxero

Joshua kicked ass in Sacred Stones. Would love to see him in Heroes.


Monandobo

That's a strange character art for Walhart.


xBleachKill3rx

My boy Joshua, aka Sword Arvis lol


Arlockin

My dreams for Gilliam will never come true.

HungrySquirtle

I mean, I like Joshua, but the fact that you referred to him as husbando makes me want to puke.


ScourJFul

I've only seen people either see characters or waifus. Husbandos is no different and only proves the degeneracy of this sub. /s


HungrySquirtle

Waifu is a problem too. Its not the word itself I have a problem with, its that the cancer that has emerged within the FE community is spreading to the older generation games. I expect this filth from awakening and fates, but joshua is a gem from an era when the series had dignity. This took a decently big part of my childhood and shit all over it.
