New Tier List with weighted criteria

Fescord updated the criteria for the Tier List to better reflect actual in-game performance.

Here’s how the new weighting works:

  • EX skills: 60%
  • Movement & range: 25%
  • Other skills: 10% (split evenly across them)
  • PRF weapons: 5%

The goal with these changes is to make rankings more accurate and consistent compared to the previous version—especially by emphasizing EX skills, which tend to have the biggest impact overall.

If you have feedback or think something still feels off, let us know—we’re open to adjusting further.

Making Own Shadows Concepts for Characters #5: Chrom (2 Versions)

[*these are just official images from FE and other franchises together]

I really couldn't think of a form right off the bat for Chrom and didn't want to repeat the butterfly motif for Chrom. I don't think he's really associated with any animal except for his horse in his early FEH alt.

At first I chose bunny as I feel like it could fit him and he was the first ever character released in FEH in trailer to be seasonal and he had the bunny form there. I also added some like glowing effects for his gemstones and his lance to add some visual flair

I then thought about the horse motif could fit him, could be a male counterpart to Lyn's horse version too so I decided to go with that idea over my main bunny one but I still included it here

-------------

I could have given him Naga's/Tiki's wings or dragon form as he's technically related to them by the Exalt bloodline too or even Risen King Chrom from Cipher. I'm kinda mad at myself I only thought of these ideas writing my post lol maybe Risen King Chrom + his Horse form could work together better

Making Own Shadows Concepts for Characters #4: Rune (I wanted him to be a Biblically Accurate Angel too)

*these are just official images from FE and other franchises

For Rune as he essentially God, I wanted him to be unique, I do want him as a Biblically Accurate Angel design wise to emphasize his power/divinity but also came up with this concept:

He wears a VR/Visor with a Fire Emblem Attached. When transformed he will become a FE Lord at random every transformation with the same visor and holding the Fire Emblem. I am also thinking the Fire Emblem could become that respective Lord's Fire Emblem so like Eirika would hold the sacred stones / be on her design

Making Own Shadows Concepts for Characters #3: Lucina

*these are just official images from FE and other franchises together

For Lucina I made her concept a bit ago. I wanted to incorporate butterfly wings to symbolize the butterfly in the Awakening cinematic intro and her mask.

For the Focus: I wanted her Mask to be the main design point between the 2 forms: One is her Butterfly mask, and the other is the Risen Mask to reflect if she lost to Grima

I also tried wrapping her Falchion in Naga's garments but with these just being mixed images, it didn't really come off right

Do you have any additions or other thoughts on this one?
