oh, i know it's doable! but seeing that 60 mil still threw me for a moment, haha
i'm not going to do anything with this marisa either, but i'm happy for all the people who wanted to merge her, and i'm hoping that means i might get more gerome merges in the future ;w;
I did my AA run this morning and think I encountered... 6 L!Tikis through my 7 runs. ;_; So many dragons and armours eugh. Thankfully I managed to get through without a loss - I did just burn the Lightning Charm on the last battle to make things a little easier (M!Marth could OHKO L!Tiki then, so it worked). Ended up around rank 1900 so should be safely in the top 5000 for this week again; it's a pretty new experience as building A!Tiki has let me run a more complete line up.
I don't really get the x Heroes event thing (what is it even called???). Like what's the point without a counter in-game. Oh well, nice to get the rewards at the end of it! I finished getting H!Dorcas, Walhart and Jamke to 40 this weekend (I did Julius and Ganon last weekend and forgot about the others) for potential reruns n stuff.
And hm yeah Farfetched Heroes 2 seems likely! And there's a Forging Bonds event attached to it which means we should be getting a full set of four! Kliff and Owain so have to happen.
I think the heroes thing is a nice way to get older TT and GHB rewards back in game for merges, but agree that there needs to be a counter. Really love your Dorcas outfit as well!
Thank you C: was playing around in the wardrobe when I saw the skirt and thought it had to happen.
Not sure who I would want for Farfetched Heroes, Kliff would be great... kind of eh on Owain, but am surprised he's not already in the game. Regular Charlotte would be nice? If it's not far-fetched heroes, it would be nice to have another Thracia banner (and there is a GHB attached so... maybe)
I did a boredom pull on the Halloween banner (I have no resolve) and got Mia in about 13 orbs and she's +atk and -res so pretty good I think. She's a lot of fun, and today I managed to beat Abyssal Michalis with the help of Witchy Wand.
I still haven't started playing with H!Jakob or Myrrh. I sort of wonder if I should replace Great Flame with something else as she's -def.
for a hot second i didn't understand what i was looking at when i saw the thumbnail
but alright, loki, kliff, and owain, neato
my actual reaction
the kid should be intsys logo but i am lazy
and................ AVERSA IS FREEEEEEE i hope. she's not in the news bulletin so she better not be an ayra 🎉 oh man i wonder who got to draw her, i can't wait for the datamine
new suekane art is tempting but i don't need another red sword infantry so i'm good. that new fortress def/res is pretty interesting, though... i love tobi art but kliff would be fodder for me ;>>
Heard that Aversa is confirmed at a GHB on the Japanese twitter.
The thing that distressed me most about this banner is that Loki is the thumb nail, and it reminds me how much I dislike her design.
Damn. My sword hand twitches for Owain. I've been waiting for him to come to Heroes and now he is here! I knew I should've been patient and saved, but c'est la vie. I will try my best to get at least one of him...

Okay well I didn't expect Loki at all (and already hate all the healers in arena we're gonna suffer through) but I guessed the other two so I'm gonna give myself a pat on the back, even if it was obvious. 8)
I'd probs keep Great Flame because it is a really wonderful weapon, even if it's gonna be shaky with lower Def she still hits a pretty great benchmark and can be patched with a Fortify, too. And if you draw another I won't say her SI is anything special - Fury is cool but not work saccing a 5* - so I'd probs just merge on top of her. I haven't given mine DC but did bestow her with QR3 and she's pretty wonderful, especially for this TT alongside Mia for heal support.
- Yeah, my friend sent me a link for the video and it had a partial nudity warning on it, and I was like put on a damn shirt Loki! Also discovered that I don't like her VA (I had the sound on for once) Her skills aren't really anything special either. Hard pass there. I think I'll go for some reds for Owain, but I'm mostly interested in Aversa. And if she's GHB, I don't have to worry about summoning.
I was looking forward to Kilff, but his skills just make him look kinda dumb, like seems like he would be best with an attack bane, and powercreeped fort def/res is just plain stupidly better than the originals, only -2 att and buffs the def stats +12, vs -3 att and +5 to either one. REALLY dreading seeing that one show up on all the durgons. I can imagine Myrrh or Grima with it would be practically invulnerable.
Soooo I didn't stay in tier 20 this week... I promoted to tier 21! I'm kinda shocked that I managed to make it. I ended up spending a few crests to get there - aiming for at least 734s - and ended up with a score of 3734 which was a comfortable promote.
I think Kliff's attack is probs low enough without an Atk bane by current standards.
Nothing great on the banner yet. Hmm think I'm gonna be leaving it, not super interested in any of them.
Aw man. I went into the Brave Redux banner with 100 orbs. Only came out with a +def -spd Laegjarn. I'm pretty bummed that I didn't get Owain, and I'm equally bummed that Laegjarn didn't end up with the best IVs. On the other hand, I was able to pull another Hana. Now she's at +5 merges and counting. I'm halfway there. Hope I'm able to get the last 5 before anniversary.

penekor drew aversa... she's so pretty o i forgot how revealing and ridiculous her outfit is though, kinda makes me feel hypocritical for complaining about some of the other boob-centric outfits lmao
that's a huge relief o; she's still not on the notification board as far as i can tell, i wish they'd get an english twitter sometime.
aaa, congrats on your crown!! 🎉🎉 did you have to go for KOs with only the bonus unit, or just a deathless run with high-score matches?
Haha yeah it's so great to see Feh donning it when I log in! It suits her nicely, shame I'm gonna lose it. ;o; Hmmm not every single kill - Alfonse could usually skirt on the L!Tikis and leave them to Fae. My max score is 740, from what I've seen, though rolling right at the top with any regularity seemed impossible thanks to the 'Fonse. I'd probs calc it out as three kills per match, though he did manage to snatch all four a couple of times.
Hmmm yeah just ran it through a calc and we run 726 to 740, not too shabby.
I totally forgot that about Aversa too! XD I was complaining about Loki's "assets" to my boyfriend the other day when the video was released and couldn't believe him when he told me Aversa's were as bad as Loki's... Had to check her Awakening art haha. I like her Heroes artwork though! I can't wait until tomorrow to get her, she has a great statline for a GHB unit!
Congrats on the crown!! If only I could start working on merging two more units for an arena core, I wonder if I could do it. I only reached T20 once so far though!
I got great luck on the Redux banner- I got another Cav Eirika as a pity breaker after 35 orbs (but this one is +atk-hp, much better than the -spd I got last week!) and got a +spd Owain ~60-70 orbs spent later. I'm glad I got a focus unit but I would have probably given up on the banner if I was pity broken again because I didn't really need any of those characters! (Red sword infantry is so bloated, though I've read Owain is similar to Ayra and I don't have her, so maybe he will get some use!)
If me, your friendly F2P can do it, you can too!
This is my current set-up, nothing groundbreaking outside the +10s.
SPOILER (click to toggle)
+Spd -HP Fae: Lightning Breath+ (Def refine) / Rally Def/Res / Aether / Steady Breath / QR3 / Spur Atk Res / Def Ploy
+Atk -Spd A!Tiki: Breath of Fog (Special) / Rally Spd/Res / Aether / DC / QR3 / Drive Spd / Heavy Blade
+Atk -HP Eirika: Sieglinde (Special) / Rally Def/Res / Growing Wind / Fury / Swordbreaker / Hone Spd / Atk Ploy
Alfonse: Folkvangr (Def refine) / Rally Def/Res / Bonfire / Brazen Atk/Def / Swordbreaker / Atk Smoke / Close Def
Teebs I did a lot of standing on defence tiles next to Fae with the other two close by and Ploying if possible. Maybe Res refine on Alf would be a little better? But Def helps with armours and slightly better Bonfires, so it's a balance.
- My 100 got me nothinng on Redux. I'll take your Laegjarn over countless Seliphs and Roys. I should probabbly give up, I don't even erally want any of them, but I've already put it so many orbs. This game is guilt tipping me for my bad luck :(
- w00! Nice! Congrats. That team looks very similar to mine, only swap Fae for Nino and Tiki for Nowi, and my Eirika is only +4. She refuses to be summoned. I thought I might get at least one of her trying for Owain, but alas not yet. Nino has pretty low BST, she's probably bringing down the team, but she one shots L!Tiki so she's been nice to have around.
Aversa's outfit could almost be seen as a body suit, but yes, she is just as boobilicious as Loki. That was kind of her unique selling feature in Awakening, in heroes she probably feels inadequat though. Poor girl. lol.
yeah, it's such a bummer you only keep it for a week. at least it stays in your inventory ;w; that's a pretty sweet arena core, though! my guys keep me pretty safely in the tier 19.5 range most weeks, so i didn't try too hard to feed alfonse kills. it's good to know he can get it done when necessary o:
haha, exactly! i only remembered her face, so i saw the art and i was like ??? has she always worn so little??? i guess i can't complain about loki, she's probably wearing more fabric than aversa lmao. jokes aside, i'm so happy she's finally here! also, congrats on the rolls! 🎉
Yeah Effie should be there showing her stuff but she's perpetually stuck at +5 so has been subbed out for now. I'm gonna start on a new blue project methinks; I have around 100k feathers at the moment so I can make a start, at least. For whatever reason I'm drawn to Clair (and seem to pull her a bunch) - I think a high Res flier who can support with Ploys and Guidance would be a nice fit for my team, particularly because I've had to forgo movement assists.
Absolutely, that's where I typically reside but it's been nice to know the upper limit of my team! Especially when I've capped duelling crests - I think I burnt around 15 last week which still gave me anxiety, lol. I'm like... what if I need those other 990 crests tomorrow? Hoarding woes.
Aversa was kinda tricky eek. I did Hard and Lunatic with fliers but they hate that Aversa's Night trigger, so I just took Lynhardt, PA!Azura and B!Ninian and cleared Infernal pretty easy with their assistance. :x You can both clear the left on the first turn and put Lyn as bait for Aversa - she OHKOs on the counterattack and the map falls apart after that.
- I need some new projects too, I have over 200k feathers, I did manage to pull one A!Tiki +def -spd, way better than the -att +res one I've been rolling with. But alas, she is the only one I have, so it's just the +1 for now. I could merge some Camillas, but I've been holding onto her spares for savage blow because it seems essential for Abyssal maps OTL. The game seems to think I should build Roy or Lilian, since that's what I keep summoning. They can both be good, but I don't really like them. I could probably use a new blue merge project too. I was thinking Florina, for more or less the same reason as Clair, but I haven't summoned her in a while either. I could possibly work on building a L'Arachel, I seem to summon her a lot, and I have 2 5*s of her. But again, I don't really care for her much, and her utility is limited. For green I'm currently working on Fae, but I haven't been summoning her either, maybe I should work on Titania, I summon her a lot.
Ultimately, there are too many decisions in this came, and I'm too indecisive, so I'll just sit on it a while. :P
Aversa's a pain. I did hard and lunatic, haven't tried infernal yet.
I decided to promote Aversa today and train her up for potential Conquest/Domain shenanigans. And it was worth it, in my opinion! I gave her an Earth blessing for the HP boost when coupled with F!Grima, kept her default A skill and promoted the HP/Res seal for her as well (hey, I got a lot of cons handy), then Wings of Mercy so she can snipe if necessary and Goad Fliers because why not. She reaches 54 HP with the buffs, I believe, and managed to stat down basically everything even on Infernal+. Only thing that notably escape was a Beruka and... lol, shrug. She helped a lot though. Definitely recommend for anyone on the fence.
- I'm thinking of promoting her too, after seeing how broken her 5s tome can be in the GHB. I know her HP is super buffed in those battles, but there are still a good number of low HP units running around the meta.
