• Lena, Nyna & Elice: The remaining of the four clerics who, alongside Maria, were to be sacrificed to Medeus. None of them had Prf. weapons, but it's worth noting that in the original Mystery of the Emblem, Nyna and Lena were given tomes instead of staves. All four clerics have both staves and tomes in New Mystery, but this could potentially be used to differentiate the group from each other, rather than all four being staff wielders.
• Medeus: The Earth Dragon King, resurrected by Gharnef as the Shadow Dragon. This is a peculiar case; the dragon form we see of Medeus in FEH currently is his appearance as the Shadow Dragon, but everything else about him--right down to the epithet--is taken from his Earth Dragon characterization. This makes his candidacy as a Fallen unit more dubious, but I don't think it writes him out entirely.
• Wrys: "I am Wrys, a humble hero. I have no time to spare on healing my enemies - only on burying them." A gag card, where Wrys completely forgoes the idea of being unable to fight. In this card, he is an axe user with the ability to boost an ally's attack if they're being attacked, at the cost of destroying the Wrys card. It's worth noting that while this is obviously a gag, FEH legitimately hints towards this side of Wrys in a Forging Bonds event, so maybe it's possible...?

• Sonya: "Sonya's search for a cure for women turned into witches took her across the land. Her trail ended in a remote region, after which she was never seen again. Rumors fly, however, that shortly thereafter a new witch took up residence in Nuibaba's abode on Fear Mountain." There are two schools of thought on this ending; one argues that this means that Sonya becomes a witch in the end, while the other argues that rumors are just that: rumors, birthed from activity spawning in Nuibaba's abode once more. It should be noted, however, that should this happen, it would be the first Fallen unit to be created with no art reference to speak of.
• Mila: The Earth Mother, her mind degenerating with age. When Rudolf confronts her, she loses all composure and is consumed by rage. We never see what Mila's decayed dragon form may have looked like, as we never fight her at all. However she's implemented would be completely unique.
• Duma: The War Father, his mind degenerating with age. Duma is in a very similar situation as Medeus; his personality is his self before degenerating, but the dragon form is still decayed. At the very least in this case, however, we never see what Duma's dragon form may have looked like prior to this state, so it's more understandable here. While Fell Breath--his FEH weapon--takes from Ocular Beam, he has two other attacks he could use here: One is Tentacle, which is his basic attack, and the second is Oculus, a stronger version of Ocular Beam that prevents anything from damaging him other than the Falchion. I imagine he'd use Oculus, but the effect would have to be different.
• Shade: I did actually forget a character in making this, hence why she's not on the list: Shade, from Cipher / Echoes! During her paralogue, she falls under an unknown demonic possession. There's not much to say on her here, though; she uses Nosferatu, which is bizarrely not present in FEH whatsoever, but I get the feeling they'd give her an entirely unique weapon...should she, or any Cipher characters, get in at all.
• Rinea: A candidate I overlooked: Berkut's fiancee, sacrificed to Duma by Berkut in a fit of blind rage and despair. I overlooked her entirely due to being in Fallen Berkut's build, but as mentioned by bluecfw, Yune was in more or less a similar place with Brave Micaiah, and as we've seen, Yune was given her own base form later on. As far as how she could work, I actually think it's pretty interesting to think about; her attacking spell is Seraphim, but she also has Fortify for healing. Enfeeble is another spell she has that teleports users to her side, her Prayer Ring heals her at the start of every turn, potentially leading to a built-in Renewal, and she actually has a Prf. skill that she shares with Berkut called Wildfire, though it's a simple hit and avoid buff. Lastly, she has Miracle, which very easily could just be her special.

• Deirdre: Sigurd's wife, her memory having been erased by Manfroy to set her up with Arvis instead. This is easily one of the most iffy options to be Fallen period; I don't think it'll happen, I'm mainly just including it in the name of being thorough. She is only seen in this state at the very end of the first generation.
• Julius: The son of Arvis and Deirdre, known to have been a kindhearted boy before being completely overtaken by Loptous. This is another iffy candidate, as the Julius we see in FEH--and the entirety of Genealogy and Thracia--is Loptous. However, when he's defeated, Loptous goes completely mask off, speaking in a manner that makes it clear he's no longer putting on an act. I personally feel that final bit is enough leeway to give the idea credibility, though I think the more likely scenario is that Loptous gets in as a Mythic in a very similar manner to Fomortiis.

• Draco: The deceased Eyvel, resurrected as a Deadlord. Unlike the rest of the Deadlords, who remain in the class they were known for, Eyvel actually becomes a Sniper--a nod that makes sense when you know her past. She wields the Meisterbogen like Legendary Leif, so it would probably be a dark variant. Draco has Adept, Miracle and Wrath, so Miracle could be her special or built-in to her kit.
• Tigris: The deceased Dagdar, resurrected as a Deadlord. He wields the Master Axe, and as Dagdar has yet to be added to the game, there's no real basis to predict how he would be implemented, other than the fact that the Master Axe is a ranged Brave Axe. Tigris has no skills to speak of.
• Porcus: The deceased Lifis, resurrected as a Deadlord. He wields the Berserk Sword--a weapon Fee also used in Genealogy, but was not given in FEH. The nature of the weapon makes it difficult to imagine how it would be implemented, and my best guess would just be something with a built-in Savage Blow. That being said, I'm assuming he'd be a dagger user instead; maybe Berserk Dagger / Berserk Knife? As far as skills go, Porcus has Steal, Vantage, Wrath and Adept.
• Bovis: The deceased Galzus, resurrected as a Deadlord. Galzus wields multiple weapons here--the Meisterschwert, Master Axe, and Flame Sword. Given Galzus was added as a demote, it's hard to say how he'd be implemented here. Bovis has Luna and Astra, which really just points to the special he'd have.
• Canis: The deceased Sara, resurrected as a Deadlord. As a Deadlord, Sara wields Nosferatu--a tome that, as mentioned, is frankly kind of baffling that it has not been seen in FEH whatsoever--and a Berserk staff. If I had to guess, she'd just be given a FEH-specific tome or staff instead. Canis has the same skills as Draco, just adding Paragon into the lineup.
• Mus: The deceased Raydrik, resurrected as a Deadlord. Like Raydrik in life, he wields the Loptous Sword, which halves the enemy's Attack while boosing the user's Resistance. By the nature of having a Prf. alone, I feel it's decently possible he becomes the first Deadlord to be added, likely as a GHB. It's unfortunately still likely a ways off, however. Mus has Pavise and Wrath, so Pavise could be the special.

• Zephiel: "Our father handed Zephiel a goblet of poisoned drink at a banquet. Later, when he leant to view Zephiel's body, Zephiel sprung from the coffin and... sword in hand..." The soon-to-be King of Bern, having just faked his death in order to assassinate his father. The second--and to my knowledge, final--design to be taken from Cipher. Unlike Ike, Chrom, and Wrys, however, this is a Cipher card that is explicitly portraying a canon event; the one that spurs forth his desire to rid the world of humans. In the card, he wields the Sword of Farewells, a sword that boosts Zephiel's attack if there are no allies in the same area as him.

• Nergal: The Dark Druid, who lost his mind delving too deep into ancient magic. Nergal is a character who works in multiple places--whether it's a GHB, Fallen, or Mythic. No matter which place he winds up, however, he does have the Prf. tome Ereshkigal, though in Blazing Blade this has no special effects. I imagine he'd be implemented in a vein reminiscent of Limstella, damaging anyone in his viscinity to boost his power as a reference to quintessensce.
• Nils: Ninian's brother, having fallen under the control of Nergal. This is such a minor role that it seems to have gone almost completely forgotten--likely because it's extremely brief and I don't believe Nils says a single word while like this. Nonetheless, it does happen, so it's worth listing all the same.
• Lloyd: The deceased White Wolf of the Fang and brother to Linus, resurrected as a morph. Like all of the morphs, he does not say a word in this state, but as we've seen with Linus, that is no longer a barrier. He wields the Regal Blade, which he was given in base form, so he'd almost certainly be given the Dead-Fang Sword to pair with Linus' Dead-Fang Axe.
• Ursula: The deceased Blue Crow of the Fang, resurrected as a morph. She has Excalibur in this form, but given we already have a Dark Excalibur, I'd assume she'd receive either a "Morph Excalibur" or maybe a Dead-Fang Tome?
• Brendan: The deceased founder of the Black Fang, resurrected as a morph. Brendan is actually the original wielder of Basilikos--Linus just has a Silver Blade and Hand Axe--so Brendan would either receive a variant of Basilikos or just a unique weapon altogether.
• Darin: The deceased Marquess Laus, resurrected as a morph. Darin wields the Rex Hasta, Blazing Blade's S-rank Lance. The way I see it, whether or not he receives this weapon depends entirely on whether or not Oswin gets into the game first, which feels much, much more likely, so Darin would likely be given a FEH-exclusive weapon.
• Uhai: The deceased Soaring Hawk of the Fang, resurrected as a morph. Uhai wields Rienfleche, the S-rank Bow. Unlike Darin, however, there are very few options for characters to receive this weapon at this point, so either its his, Wil gets it as a refine, or we get a Rebecca / Louise / Lyn alt with it.
• Kenneth: The deceased Shrike of the Fang, resurrected as a morph. Kenneth wields Luce, the S-rank Light Tome. Like the Rienfleche, however, there are only a couple options to receive this weapon: Renault, Athos (who has other options), or a Lucius / Serra alt.
• Jerme: The deceased Death Kite of the Fang, resurrected as a morph. Jerme wields the Runesword--an otherwise ordinary weapon all things considered--so he'd likely be given either a unique sword or a unique dagger. Jerme, along with Kenneth, Uhai and (very bizarrely) Darin, is currently unvotable in CYL, so his and the above's chances of showing up are extraordinarily low.

• Morva: Myrrh's father, slain by Lyon and reanimated as a Necrodragon. Even among the mute corpses Morva is an odd case, considering he goes completely unnamed as a boss and has no portrait; he's just the generic Necrodragon sprite. Nevertheless, the game makes it very clear that the Necrodragon boss is him, so it's worth including regardless, even if logically his appearance in FEH would just be a straight up Necrodragon at that point.

• Greil: Ike's father, who touches Lehran's Medallion and goes berserk, killing his wife in his madness. Greil canonically wields a sword during this, and it's this moment specifically that causes him to abandon the sword and use axes instead, so it stands to reason he would use one here.
• Rajaion: Almedha's brother and Ena's betrothed, transformed into a Feral One and used as a mount by Ashnard. It's hard to imagine how exactly Rajaion would be handled, as he is permanently in a draconic state, though you could argue it would be treated the same way Fallen Fafnir is. I'd imagine as far as voicework goes, it's typical Fallen behavior, albeit with the special voice lines being akin to Fallen Rhea.

• The Deadlord Shepherds: Deadlords found in Infinite Regalia, where they guard legendary weapons. All of these deadlords are implied to be the 36 Shepherds by Tiki and their respective children. As far as I'm aware, none of the Deadlords are tied to specific Shepherds--every character has a line they say at their first bout of combat, the child units and Tiki just so happen to have greater implications--but nonetheless, like Morva, the implication is there and extremely apparent, and that's more than enough imo.

• Ayaha & Aversa: Tsubasa's sister, being controlled by the Mirage Aversa. To my knowledge, while Ayaha doesn't fight, herself, Aversa uses primarily magic. She does also have a singular Lance ability, but given the FE connection, magic seems the much safer bet. There are two other abilities worth noting, however: Lullaby Song, which causes sleep on all enemies (Nightmare?); and Dark Envy, which is a Defense/Hit/Evade debuff. Ayaha is really the only one of these I see having even the slightest chance at being added.
• Barry & Draug: A trainer at Fortuna Entertainment and former rock star who was possessed by the corrupted Mirage Draug. Almost assuredly, he'd be an axe user like Mamori: the party member who uses Draug, and someone Barry cares for greatly. Worth noting Draug has effectively a Save skill built-in to his kit, so that would likely be his B skill.
• Teru & Garrick: A comedian who becomes possessed by the Mirage Garrick. Garrick's appearance is one that actually merges with Teru himself, so you could argue he technically fights here, and while the weapon he wields is categorized as a sword, it can easily pass as an odd axe as well.
• Chouten & Pheros: A genius musician who is manipulated by the Mirage Pheros, who he comes to believe is an idol he once worked alongside who tragically died. I believe Chouten is not fought, but Pheros is a pure magic wielder, so that's likely the direction he'd take. A skill of note is Spirit Drain, which drains MP from enemies. I'd imagine this would be just a "reduces enemy Res, gains Res" kind of ability.
• Nobu & Gangrel: A famous photographer who is controlled by the Mirage Gangrel. Although Gangrel is a sword user here, the fact Nobu isn't personally fought and the sheer size of Gangrel in this game (you only see his top half) amusingly leads me to the idea of him being a dragon unit. Gangrel has a very interesting ability here: Shield me!. This ability is basically a reverse Save; he makes an ally take the hit for him. I don't think this would show up (nor do I think he'll show up at all), but this would be a very interesting, if not potentially detrimental, gimmick.
• Kuen & Excellus: A drama director who is controlled by the Mirage Excellus. Kuen is not fought, but Excellus is a magic wielder.
• Abel: A corrupted Mirage who kidnaps Riku. Oddly, despite the fact Abel has a purified appearance, Riku's CYL portrait uses specifically the corrupted one, even though Riku isn't even possessed by Abel, to my knowledge. Just captured by him. Regardless, Abel primarily has Lance attacks, but one Sword attack as well, and the ability to poison enemies.
• Lorenz: A corrupted Mirage who Draug looked up to. He uses axe moves as a boss, and seems to be the only corrupted Mirage not tied to another character.
• Dark Yashiro: A character I missed, pointed out to me by PathofGaydiance. A mirage, transformed into a doppelgänger of Yashiro. He believes himself to be the true Yashiro. There's not too much to say on him, mechanically; he's a Sword user through and through, using a multitude of elemental slashes. He does have clones, though I'm not sure how exactly that would pan out; maybe we'll learn whenever Emblem Lyn is added.

• Garon: The King of Nohr, whose true form was unveiled by sitting on Hoshido's throne in Conquest. Like Grima, he has Dragonskin as a skill, and his weapon, Bölverk, is already used by Xander, who translates it's ability to boost Dodge well enough as is. He'd likely either receive an alternate Bölverk or just get a FEH-exclusive axe.
• Kana: Corrin's child who, like Corrin, loses themselves upon first discovering their Dragon powers. To be honest, both would probably not be the most dissimilar to the Fallen Corrins we already have.
• Scarlet: The leader of the Anti-Nohr resistance who is slain by Gunter when the group travels to Valla in Revelation, being reanimated by Anankos later on. She has no Prf. weapons, only a Steel Axe and Tomahawk, so a unique weapon is guaranteed. This could potentially reference Scarlet's Prf. skill In Extremis, which grants her Crit +30 when her health is 25% or less.
• Gunter: Corrin's retainer, possessed by Anankos in Revelation. He has no Prf. weapons in this fight, so a unique weapon would have to be given. His Prf. skill, Forceful Partner, is directly tied to supporting Corrin, which makes it extremely unlikely to show up here as well. He does actually have Dragonskin during this fight, which could potentially be built-in to his kit?
• Anthony: A boy who takes advantage of Corrin's naivete in Revelation, only to be turned into a Faceless. Almost guaranteed to just be a GHB unit, though the ability Immobilize could be implemented via a Gravity effect.
• Mikoto: Corrin's mother, resurrected to serve Anankos in Revelation and Heirs of Fate. She wields Pursuer--Fates' strongest non-Fujin Yumi bow--in Revelation, which reduces your defense, resistance, and avoid in favor of boosting your own--and your enemy's--ability to make follow-up attacks.
• Sumeragi: Corrin's father, resurrected to serve Anankos in Revelation and Heirs of Fate. He wields two swords: the Hagakure Blade and Ganglari. The Hagakure Blade is a powerful blade, but your strength is halved after using it, and Ganglari grants a slight buff to dodging, but deals damage to the user after using it. I can't imagine either of these effects would be kept if Sumeragi used either weapon, unless Ganglari has a built-in Fury effect. It's worth also noting that, while unlikely, the way Swordsmasters dual-wield in this game leads to the non-zero chance he dual wields both weapons.
• Arete: Azura's mother, resurrected to serve Anankos in Revelation and Heirs of Fate. She has no Prf. weapons or skills in Fates, so she'd be guaranteed to get a unique weapon.
• The Heirs of Fate Fathers: The fathers of the second generation, all slain and resurrected by Anankos. Right off the bat, the sheer number of things Heirs of Fate brought into the mix caught me way off guard. Granted, I don't think like, any of it will show up, but nonetheless that well is far from drained for Fates candidates. The only unit in this batch with a Prf. weapon is Takumi, who wields Skadi once more. This means that Ryoma would be given a FEH-exclusive weapon rather than Raijinto, as that weapon belongs to Shiro in this timeline. The only other real thing of note with this batch imo is that Azama is capable of wielding Lances in this map as he is a promoted unit, meaning that could theoretically be the direction taken here.
• The Heirs of Fate Children: The titular Heirs of Fate: two armies who, through Anankos' illusions, see each other as malevolent forces. This is a very dubious case on whether they should be considered period, as none of these characters are actually evil, nor are they possessed; rather, Anankos has put all of them under an illusion, causing each army to see the other as Vallite soldiers. I'm including them here to be thorough, but if these were to be added as Fallen units, it would mean either the player themselves is seeing them as illusions, or the characters see everyone else as Vallite soldiers. Of note, M!Kana wields Grim Yato, F!Kana wields Blazing Yato, Shiro is a Swordsmaster wielding Raijinto, Kiragi wields Fujin Yumi, Siegbert wields Siegfried, and Forrest wields Brynhildr.

• Fafnir: The King of Niðavellir, now reduced to a mechanical dragon by Eitri. By far the most likely of FEH's candidates, and we have a clear idea how he'd work.
• Letizia: The leader of Embla's Curse Directive, possessed by Embla. If this form of Letizia were to be added as a Fallen unit, she would have to be given a new weapon or an alternate Körmt.
• Bruno: The brother of Veronica and prince of Embla, possessed by the goddess herself. I would say Bruno is the third most likely FEH pick to actually show up on a Fallen banner if not just for the fact that the maskless appearance is inherently stand-out. This would also, in a way, give us "base" Bruno.
• Veronica: Princess of Embla, possessed by the goddess herself. Like Bruno, this would technically give us "base" Veronica.
• Heiðr: Seiðr's daughter, fated to become the Golden Serpent. This is the second most likely of FEH's Fallen candidates imo, less due to the art and more due to the completely unique sprite.

• Byleth: The Ashen Demon, their mind overtaken by Sothis' desire. By virtue of popularity alone they'll always be high as a candidate, but the fact that F!Byleth has happened makes this more debatable imo; unlike other avatars, where the thing that sets them apart is largely the gender difference, Byleth in both forms would be completely voiced by Sothis, effectively playing the same role twice over. I don't think this is a hard disbarring by any stretch, but it definitely throws a slight wrench into things, especially considered both Byleths wield the Knight-Captain's Sword. If they were to do this, Byleth would likely be given a FEH-exclusive weapon.
• Shez: A mercenary whose mind has become overtaken by Epimenides after recruiting Byleth. I have not played Three Hopes, but I imagine Shez, once one version gets in, will be in the same predicament as Byleth. However, in Shez's case, you at least have the inherent argument that one Shez can be a Sword unit while the other is a Dagger.
• Miklan: Sylvain's brother, having misused the Lance of Ruin and transformed into the Black Beast. As the Black Beast, Miklan has access to the Thorns of Ruin--an ability that reduces the foe's speed--and the Crest Stone (Gautier)--a weapon that boasts a slight crit rate increase--so through these, it's possible Miklan could have a slaying weapon that also debuffs the enemy's speed.
• Dedue: Dimitri's retainer who, in a desperate attempt to protect Dimitri, willingly gives his life to become a Demonic Beast. In this state, Dedue has Arm Press and the Lost Crest Stone (Large), both of which function generally the same as how Miklan's were described above.
• Jeritza: The Death Knight. Mercedes' brother, formerly known as Emile. Jeritza is nigh guaranteed to get a variant of the Scythe of Sariel imo, and his Prf. skill Murderous Intent is hard to implement into FEH as it's just a hit rate increase.
• Maurice: The eleventh Elite, erased from history for becoming a Demonic Beast. Though his weapon, Crest Stone (Beast), does not have any notable effects, he also has Heavy Strike--an attack that reduces a foe's movement to zero. A Gravity effect is possible here.
• Aelfric: Founder of the Ashen Wolves who misuses the Chalice of Blood, becoming an Umbral Beast. Though his Prf. weapon, the Chalice of Blood, has no abilities beyond extended range, he still has a plethora of additional abilities as the Umbral Beast: Manifest Phantom, a summon ability; Enhanced Fortitude, which halves damage taken, nullifies some abilities and status effects, and prevents Aelfric from being moved; Umbral Leech, the ability to steal HP from its summoned units; and Umbral Surge, an attack that hits the entire map, dealing up to 25% of the foe's HP and teleporting both the Umbral Beast and all targets to random places on the map, though after using this, it is weakened and cannot counterattack for a turn. I imagine only Enhanced Fortitude would be implemented into his FEH kit, but I could see some potential in referencing Umbral Leech as well.
• Epimenides: The creator of Arval, who usurps their creation's will when Shez allies with Byleth. They use Hrotti like Arval, but their unique ability, Crestological Wisdom, is worthless in FEH; all it does is allow Epimenides to use the tome without injuring themselves, something Arval already has no problem with as a Mythic. We'd likely see a Hrotti variant here.

• Corrupted Alear: Alear, having willingly been transformed into a Corrupted to protect their friends. Alear is the most blatant example of me being purely as thorough as possible in who may or may not be a candidate. In the most "literal" sense of what we have as Fallen units, they fit perfectly--the reanimated corpse of an existing character, becoming something considered evil--however, unlike every other character on this list, they are still wholly heroic in this moment. If this shows up, it's far, far more likely to be on a proper Engage banner, not a Fallen one. On the other hand...
• Past Alear: Alear as they were in the past; a pure Fell Dragon who serves their father, Sombron, out of fear. This is kind of an interesting contrast to the above; if you really think about it, Past Alear would be debatably the farthest stretch we've made on a Fallen unit. They aren't possessed, resurrected, reanimated, driven mad, or anything of the sort; they're just a Fell Dragon serving Sombron because they're scared to leave. Yet everyone views them as a lock to be on a Fallen banner, because it just feels right. Of course they would be. While Alear does not have a Prf. weapon at this point in time, they do have Emblem Marth on their side, meaning they could either receive a FEH-exclusive weapon or a sort of Fell Rapier / Mercurius / Falchion.
• Veyle: The daughter of Sombron, whose alternate personality is fiercely devoted to him. Probably the single safest bet for this year's Fallen banner, she has an inherent Prf. weapon in Misericorde, retains Fell Protection, and potentially could use Dark Spirit for a Guard effect. Amusingly, Veyle has three separate looks for one Fallen form: the cloak from the early game, Veyle's ordinary outfit, and the late-game helmed look. Veyle also has a form that I would consider separate from the main game one, however: her bad ending self; a clearly aged Veyle who wields Emblem Alear. It's hard to say how she'd be implemented in this state, but my prediction would be using a Fell Lyration.
• Morion: The King of Brodia, killed by Hyacinth and reduced to a Corrupted. Morion lacks a Prf. weapon, and I assume if he got one, it would be either a fully unique axe or a variant on the Tomahawk.
• Hortensia: The daughter of Hyacinth and sister of Ivy, under Zephia's control. Hortensia could potentially bring in Fracture here, an offensive staff in Engage that doesn't attack, but immediately Breaks an enemy. This could potentially be reflected by a built-in Wrathful and Dazzling Staff, potentially debuffing the enemy as well. She also wields Emblem Byleth in this moment, so it's possible she could use something from them as well.
• Hyacinth: The father of Ivy and Hortensia, sacrificed to Sombron and resurrected as a Corrupted. Hyacinth is actually a full Arts user in terms of offense, so he would likely just be given a staff. That said, he does use Emblem Leif as a Corrupted, so it's not impossible he uses something from Leif instead.
• Lumera: Alear's adoptive mother, killed by Veyle and resurrected by Sombron. While I don't think she's as likely this year due to the Mythic, she feels like a guarantee for next year's Fallen banner. She has a built-in Prf. weapon with Wille Glanz, a two-range Sword. I imagine she would have a variant of Dragon Monarch as well.
• The Corrupted Royals: Elyos' royals of another world, all slain by Rafal and resurrected unknowingly (with the exception of Fogado) as Corrupted. In terms of classes, there's not much to talk about with any of them...except Fogado, who not only has another class, but another attire as well, thanks to his appearance in the first chapter of the Fell Xenologue as a Wolf Knight, meaning there's a possibility they make him a Dagger unit instead of an Archer. As far as Emblem usage goes, Céline uses Emblem Edelgard, Alfred uses Emblem Hector, Alcryst uses Emblem Chrom, Diamant uses Emblem Veronica, Ivy uses Emblem Soren, Hortensia uses Emblem Hector, Timerra uses Emblem Camilla, and Fogado uses both Emblem Tiki and Emblem Veronica. It's genuinely fascinating to me how much love Fogado got during the Fell Xenologue, in hindsight. In the second tier list, I included their used Emblem weapons as options for them to pull from.
• Rafal: The Fell Dragon responsible for the downfall of the alternate Elyos. This is specifically the Great Fell Dragon Rafal I am thinking of here, not Rafal as a whole. As the Great Fell Dragon, Rafal has several moves to pull from: Fell Assault, the basic attack (notably, Rafal's is weaker than Sombron's); Summon Vortex, which allows him to summon Corrupted; Fell Beam, the attack that makes the most sense as a visual reference and ignores Def/Res; and finally, by far the most notorious in his kit, Drain Essence and the upgraded version Devastation, a move that instantly kills all allies and foes within a set range, healing Rafal for the amount of enemies killed by the attack and, if any royals are killed, giving Rafal said royal's Prf. skill. I absolutely believe this would be referenced in his kit, though how they do so is a little harder to say.
• The Fell Emblems: The Emblems of Elyos, awakened via incantation from a Fell Dragon. In this state, they are mute. I don't believe we'll see any of these for a long time, but as we now have Emblems as summonable Heroes, they are very much so on the table. How they play would likely be extremely similar to how they show up as their typical Emblem selves, though potentially using one of their alternate weapons instead of their final ones. Emblem Ephraim is also included here, I just could not find a good image to use there. The main point of contention here is that several of these characters already have Fallen alts, but I'm not entirely willing to write them off just for that.
• The Dark Emblems: Emblems from another world, summoned by Sombron to fight for him. This is another case where, yeah, included in the name of being thorough. Though they're practically not characters--just being tied to nameless Corrupted and only sharing one generic model across all Emblems--nonetheless, they are titled, we know their proper appearances, and they do speak through the Corrupted in death. For the second tier list, I considered the weapons used by the Corrupted each Emblem fights alongside in the final chapter, as well as the weapon type the original character was known for in their home title. They're absolutely stretches, but they're far from impossible imo. Should these truly happen, they would mean Fallen alts for Medeus, Duma, Loptous, Veld, Idunn, Nergal, Fomortiis, Ashnard, Ashera, Grima, Anankos, and Nemesis.
