Updating the Junk Rare entry. Also, Summer Leo deserves mention as the absolute worst red seasonal in the game who taints the otherwise good red seasonal pool in the anniversary events that let you collect tickets to summon older 5-star seasonal units.

* JunkRare: This applies to 5-star exclusive rare units that are are [[CantCatchUp a pain to bring up to usable scratch]] and lack any useful skills available for inheritance. Most of these units are old units with lower Base Stat Totals (BST) that come with outdated, useless default skills. Pulling these units negates a player's pity percentage accumulated from summoning lower rank units, ruining the already low chance to draw a wanted unit, though thankfully if you get a pity breaker with some summons left, you can still roll on it to get something good since the pity breaker only takes effect after that summoning session. Notable examples include Luke: Rowdy Squire, Olwen: Blue Mage Knight, Mist: Helpful Sister, and Xander: Spring Prince.

** Fallen Edelgard, while not nearly as powerful as she was during her debut, was regarded as one of the most infamous units in the game due to how ''extremely'' powerful she was. Due to her signature skills and weapon granting her one extra space of movement, an ExtraTurn, healing 7 damage after every combat, cuts off foe’s natural follow-ups and 40% Damage reduction from the foe's first attack, on top of her ridiculously high Atk, Def, and Res stats ''and'' being an Armored unit '''and''' a Colorless Beast, there were few units in the game who could even hope to make even a dent in her ludicrous defenses. To make matters worse, her weapon has a built-in Distant Counter effect, so even trying to use ranged attacks would only result in the loss of any ranged unit foolish enough to attack her. It doesn't help that her Special cooldown is lowered dramatically, and combined with Ignis or Galeforce, it made Fallen Edelgard absolutely notorious to fight, and for a while, she was nearly unavoidable in most [=PvP=] gamemodes. Thankfully, stronger, more capable units have been added to the game as time went on, such as Thórr, Legendary Hinoka, Heiðr, and ironically, Edelgard's Brave version, all of which are easily able to defeat Fallen Edelgard without breaking a sweat. As a result, Fallen Edelgard had fallen off her pedestal as the most powerful Hero in the game, but she is still a very capable fighter, and can invoke ire from any unprepared player who doesn't yet understand just how powerful the Hegemon Husk is, especially with new skills coming out she can benefit from. Another factor of her release that contributes to her reputation was that she was such a broken unit with little counters at first, that the developers had to start releasing even more broken units just to counter her, essentially making her responsible for a new wave of powercreep.

** Recent Cavalry and Flying Nukes (including but not limited to: ''Both Gullveigs'', '''Normal Kvasir''', and '''Ninja Duo Sanaki''') are widely hated for being borderline ''impossible'' to tank even a single attack during enemy phase. While Cavalry and Flying nukes struggled before to make a name for themselves after Savior skills were introduced, the way they bounced back proved to be a little '''[[GoneHorriblyRight too]]''' effective, due to the new skills they have access to, such as Flared Sparrow/Mirror and Occultist's/Assassin's Strike (which not only create Flame tiles that deal damage at the start of every turn and before combat starts, but ''also'' deal damage at the start of combat, which stacks up to 14 pre-damage total on ''top'' of Occultist's/Assassin's Strike dealing 20% true damage based on the ''enemy's'' Def or Res) as well as any potential prf weapon and/or skill the nuke might have, if any. Fortunately, most nukes in the game have the virtue as being stuck as a GlassCannon, meaning that while they can deal out a ton of damage that outright cannot be blocked and instantly tear through most Armored Saviors, the instant that another unit attacks a nuke, they are almost certainly done for. Despite this, the meta has ''heavily'' shifted in favor of Player Phase over Enemy Phase due to these nukes dominating the meta with their extreme offensive power combined with the new skills released in Version 7.

* ThatOnePuzzle: Tactic Drills maps are puzzle maps that require players to do things step by step in a specific order to defeat all the enemies. While most of the Skills Studies maps can be managed with trial and error since they only feature two units and usually only last for five phases, the Grandmaster Tactic Drills maps are notorious for being a huge DifficultySpike by forcing you to use four units, typically for seven phases. The solutions for these maps are oftentimes so [[GuideDangIt cryptic and baffling]] to the point where most players just resort to using a video guide to solve them.

"Rearmed" Ginnungagap/Ganglot is a weird description to give to these two, considering it's their base forms and not an alt.

** Following the previous "Life & Death" Tempest Trial bosses, all of which were very hard fights thanks to including foes like Rearmed Líf and Ascended Eir, the final boss of "Life & Death 5", Rearmed Ganglöt, is a huge step down in difficulty compared to the other bosses. She isn't outright a cakewalk since she is still a potentially tough foe on account of her Arcane Downfall making her tough to tackle head on, but her axe typing means she's very easy to beat with a decently tanky red sword unit, or with ranged units. In particular, the reward unit, Ninja Haar, can easily counter her with a mild amount of investment on account of his weapon giving him a huge boost to his defenses, and she's very weak to units with Vantage, so a unit with Vantage and a special ready can take her out on one hit.
** Rearmed Ginnungagap, the boss of "Nihility & Dream 5" and "Nihility & Dream Finale", is easier to defeat than the previous "Nihility & Dream" Tempest Trials bosses, especially when compared to Rearmed Eitr and Harmonized Teatime Ayra & Mercedes. While her Arcane Void does give her -1 special cooldown, +5 to all stats, in-combat Sabotage, a guaranteed follow-up, and special cooldown charge +1 per attack, these effects are easy to work around with follow-up negation, Null-Follow Up, and/or Vantage, since she has middling Spd, lacks DamageReduction, and doesn't have Canto like the aforementioned bosses did, which would otherwise have made her a GoddamnedBoss. Because she is a colorless dagger cavalier, you can put your tank within 5 spaces of her to avoid triggering her Spd/Def Menace, and she also doesn't have this skill on Hard 30 and below. The reward unit, Ninja Saizo, has high Spd and Def, comes with a brave weapon that doesn't reduce his stats, and can equip the Null Follow-Up sacred seal to prevent her from doubling him, making him a decent answer to her. She's a bit tougher in "Nihility & Dream Finale", having Atk/Spd Catch 4 on Lunatic difficulties and trading out Spd/Def Menace for Fatal Smoke 3, and the reward unit, Winter Claude, has to inherit either Daggerbreaker 3 or Miracle to survive against her, but she's still relatively easy to deal with.

** A good number of people were weirded out by Rearmed Lucina's outfit. While the rest of it is seen as okay, what generated this reaction is the exposed thigh window, with some drawing comparisons to that of Female Corrin's. Some were also feeling concerned about the practicality of the thigh window, most notably with Lucina getting severely pierced in that area.

Book VI is regarded as the most egregious case of this, as, much like Fjorm and Alfonse earlier, people have accused Veronica of [[SpotlightStealingSquad stealing the spotlight]] at ''every single opportunity'' at the expense of everyone else, Sharena most of all, to the point where her detractors call out Veronica for "replacing" Sharena as the {{Deuteragonist}} of the game. While Veronica still has a lot of fans, other fans have had a lingering distaste for the princess believing that she overstays her welcome.

** Veronica is arguably ''the'' most divisive ''Heroes'' character of all.Veronica. Once an EnsembleDarkHorse, after Book VI, she had become hugely divisive.

** Gullveig has garnered a ''very'' divisive reception, even before Book VII had ended. Her fans love Gullveig for being a surprisingly sad and sympathetic villain who was destined to destroy the world and everyone she loved. In addition, they love her for having a heartfelt ending with her past selves Kvasir and Seiðr once the cycle is broken, wanting to give her the happiness that she deserves. The fact that she won Choose Your Legends 7 and received a Brave version upon learning this information helped win the hearts of her fans. On the other hand, Gullveig's detractors hate Gullveig as they believe the game's attempts to [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic make her sympathetic fall flat]] for several reasons: First, despite being Seiðr from the future, Gullveig has no personality, motivation or desire other than to destroy the world, which makes her come across as a GenericDoomsdayVillain. Second, they believed that Gullveig killing Njörðr immediately after the reveal that he was behind her creation, combined with Nerbuz removing the curse that Njörðr had transferred to Seiðr after said reveal took away any and all CatharsisFactor to killing both Njörðr ''and'' Gullveig, making the story end off on a very anticlimactic note than anticipated after said reveal. Her very sexy design certainly didn't help matters either, as some either love her design because of it, or hate it for the same reason.

** Some of the instant demote units weren't given out as quest reward units when they debuted. These units are Bantu, Valbar, Ross, Tanya, Benny, Regular Tanith, Atlas, Ricken, Regular Elice, Lapis, and Will. Given how large the summoning pool of 3-4 star units is, with it continuing to grow as more units get released, it's usually going to take a long time to obtain these units, let alone enough copies to +10 merge them. To put things in perspective, the odds of fully merging a 5 star focus unit on a New Heroes banner are much higher than fully merging an instant demote unit from that same banner.

** The Feh Pass exclusive quests not only still show up for players who aren't subscribed to it, the game will automatically redirect the player to those quests if they don't have any other quests cleared. It comes off as intrusive advertising for the Feh Pass, which, among other examples of this such as a popup reminding players that they need to subscribe to the pass if they reach 40 summons on a banner that can only be sparked with said pass, is a big part of why it's controversial among the fanbase. It notably used to be curse when the system was first introduced, as the quests were flagged as normal quests even if you didn't have it, meaning players were left with open quests they couldn't get rid of that made it hard to know what quests they had to finish, requiring a later update to make them their own color.

** Arbitrary skill inheritance restrictions. Many skills are unable to be inherited by some weapons/colors or movement types, or at the very least, their upgraded forms cannot. In some cases this makes sense, like the Hone/Goad skills, Dragons Ire, and the Near/Far Save skills, but in most cases the restriction is random and outright silly; Cavaliers for example cannot use Flashing Blade (Special cooldown charge +1 per Atk if the user has more Spd) despite Heavy Blade (Special cooldown charge +1 per Atk if the user has more Atk) being available to them, while Healers cannot use any of the Blow skills at all. The strict limit on who can, and cannot, inherit skills makes it frustrating to invest in some units, because many top tier skills may just randomly be locked from units who need it, such as Cavaliers not being able to use Breath skills. The developers have been more willing to release unique skills for those limited to certain skills, but it remains very disliked because there isn't a clear reason why since most skills randomly limited are often not strong enough to really justify limits. This especially is bad for Colorless Healers, who can't use a wide amount of skills for no reason, and it took years for many to get skills that could just be used by them that were worth using.

** The fact the player cannot do anything about what color orbs apepar during a summoning session. Numerous times will a player want a specific unit, only to get none of the colored orbs they want, causing them to potentially waste their free summon/5 orbs. Despite this being something people have stated since launch to be a problem, nothing has been done to help fix this (likely due to the design), so it remains a highly disliked aspect of the summoning process.
