- Yeah, it wasn't discovered too much before the trailer was set to release. I hope both Lugh and Thea drop, Thea looks like the more likely drop, but I want Lugh, and I also want his weapon for Boey! If they drop Lugh it'll be the first time they drop a Link skill I think, so it seems unnlikely.

Did one last hurrah on the leg banner last night with the Bhb orbs, got legendary Roy, +spd -hp. Not bad. Excited to play around with him today. Too bad none of my arena regulars are fire, two of the are earth, so VIke will probably continue to be on the arena team.

I went quiet again due to things going on the past few weeks >_< byt grats on Roy.

I managed to get Dancer Miccaia (typo) and Halloween! Niles

- Ooo congrats. Alas, I summoned the two blues on my final round, but nothing good.

+4 skill inheritance is here! w00!

Hey kids! Long time no chat! Life has been a lot busier recently since I started my new job and relocated - and been playing FEH a lil less though still trying to make some time every day.

A few of my projects have come together over the past month and I've added a couple more to the roster - Effie is finally complete, alongside Fae, A!Tiki and Eirika - and I now have a +10 Nowi and Lilina which I finished this week! I pulled for a couple of Lewyns to give Lilina Special Spiral and I... highly recommend. She is absolutely insane once she snowballs. I wanted to build her for Aether Raids, mostly, to blow stuff up, but she blew through some Chain Challenges with ease earlier; she can trigger AoE every turn after her first initiation.

Also you fought me in Aether Raids a few weeks ago (and won!). Made me smile to see your name come up. :)

- shakes fist at your +10 Eirika Mine is at +8 now, but she doesn't like to come visit! I now have +8 Ceada and +10 Eliwood that I only just started on this year, and I've been working on Eirika since she came out! That's a decent set of +10s. I hae 3 now. Can't decide who to work on next. Lillina with Special Spiral seems really broken OTL. That's amazing. If I build Liilna though, I'm probably going to do what my friend did, make her +10 4*, but upgrade one to 5* so she can get forblaze. (pretty much the same punch for way less resources)

Feeling at bit meh at the moment... have about 170 000 feathers but not really into any of my current merge projects (Roy just isn't hitting as hard as I would like as a dragon counter but maybe it's his build and Nino doesn't excite me). There are a few other candidates I could +10 I have 10+ copies of Nowi, Caeda, L'Arachel, Clair, Titania, Leon, Chrom and Camilla so maybe time to focus efforts elsewhere.

Also pulled an Alm, at last. He's -spd but with his new refine I don't really think that matters too much? I'm tempted to cut my losses with Roy and focus on him.

Also need to focus on saving orbs up again... another Forging Bonds is bad for my balance.

- Yeah, FB needs to put orb rewards back in, maybe for like 4000 points or something. I'd be willing to put in the extra time and stamina to get to 4000 points if they gave me some damn orbs :( At least the tickets let you kinda save orbs?

Also, I highly recommend Nowi as a merge project, she is very versatile and scores well.

this chapter (and this book as a whole, both the chapters and the forging bonds and the tempest) have really picked up when it comes to the quality of the writing. i like it~ i hope it stays this way. [sup]the forging bonds makes me want to roll for idunn, so it's working haha[/sup]

thank you for the extra stick! i guess its good that i ended up with so many, since there were two sticks ;w;

i don't think i said last time, so congrats on the new job!! and the new place? and all the +10s, wow! o: and oh gosh, i never check the names when i do my raids matches -- hopefully your defense team snagged a couple of my guys so the hit to your lift was smaller ^^'

- Lol. I think you maybe got more than two sticks :P Aaaaand you get a stick! And you get a stick! And you get a stick!

I can't believe they didn't drop ANYONE from the last banner. There go ALL my hopes that they'll drop Lugh. The 5* pool needs help. I think there's more stuck in there than the 4-3* pools combined. Give us a break guys OTL Let us have some new heroes that are actually summonable.

well i think i got two each for all the sticks i was sent, so now i have lots of choices when deciding which sticks stay 8)

I've been thinking about Lilina since playing FE6, where she's a ton of fun to use, and her getting her refine - then pulled a free, crummy 5* one from one the anniversary GHB banners so promoted a +Atk for her to merge into. I will say that she does want all the attack she can get if you're going Special Spiral + AoE (which absolutely melts everything, as I'm sure you'll have noticed if you've ever faced an Ophelia bleugh) to trigger Heavy Blade. I gave my +10 two Dragonflowers to get her another point in attack so she currently hits 59 unbuffed. Which is ace and procs against almost everything.

My arena score is probs not gonna get any better (currently T19/20 bounce, honestly too lazy to reach for more crowns rn) so I'm happy to work on some more leisurely projects in the short term. My next should probs be green (or colourless, I guess? I just don't know how +10 Leon would really... perform) and I've been eyeing up Soren for ages. The removal of banes is a godsend, as I have a +Spd -Atk I'd be happy to build now. But I actually need to save feathers haha. I dropped from 400k to 20k after investing in Lilina, Nowi and Effie's final merge. Cherche is another one I've been thinking about.

I think I need to give Eirika more premium skills, she's kinda sidelined at the moment. Current arena core is Fae, Tiki and Effie; she was in Effie's spot but having her as a sponge/Panic Ployer is pretty valuable as it seems buffs are back in fashion. Tiki is really handy for the continuous deluge of awful dragons and Surtr, too. And Fae is Fae. Fae is life.

I think you got away unscathed! Which is a-okay with me. :) I'm currently stuck in T20 for Raids with no viable way to get out so am happy to bounce around and collect rewards in the short term - and give you a little more lift! And thank you! My new job is fun and challenging and my boss seems impressed but my desk is really open so no secret Subeta sessions at work anymore, sob. But I usually spend my lunch breaks at my desks playing FEH lol. 8)

Desire sensor is real! At first I didn't want to spend more than the free summon + the first circle (so 15 orbs) on this banner because I wanted to save up, then I remembered Forging Bonds gave tickets... So I decided I would open green and red on the tickets (not blue because Thea is the likely demote). So it went like this:

• Free summon, nothing
• First ticket; nothing
• Second ticket; Owain (Nice! Especially I could fodder him for Wrath + Blue flame now. But my indecisive stupid self will probably let him rot in my barracks like the Hector and the two B!Ikes I have had for more than a year now haha)
• Third ticket: Idunn! I was really pleased with this, I didn't know the character but Forging Bonds is making me like her, so it's all good! :D
• Fourth ticket: Thea... I know I said I didn't pull blue, but this one had one red + one blue + 3 colorless so since I just pulled Idunn, I said why not try blue?

So I guess I ended up with 2 focus because I didn't care that much about the banner? XD Not complaining though, I love getting new heroes, I just couldn't afford to spend a lot on this banner and I didn't know Binding Blade characters well. So it's all good for me at the end! :D

- I got Owain too! On my fourth ticket OTL. I am also too indecisive... I still have my spard Karla for Wrath fodder too. I dunno if I want to keep summoning. I want Lugh, but I'd probably just end up with Sue, or some other pity breaker.
Congrats on your Idunn, she looks like she will be a beast. And Thea looks pretty fun too, though, likely to drop to 4* after.

- My arena score is 3710 this week, and that STILL isn't even enough just to stay in T20. I think it's cus of LeRoy's blessing effect. I am using Eliwood this week instead of Eirika cus he is +10 and has fire blessing, scores seem to be about the same though, so I dunno. Buffs are big this week cus of LeRoy, his C skill and Bonus doubler pretty much make Panic Ploy essential. I have it on Nowi, which works pretty well since hre -HP bane has been eliminated now, she has 55HP, which is high enough to ploy most units, most importantly LeRoy though.

that's good to hear you like your new place!! c: i'm stuck in the middle of raid tier 19, hopefully i can snag a good run during one of the light/Eir seasons to sneak into tier 20 8)

Ah but the tickets make me spend more I think, because I’m tempted to do rolls in circles for the units so I don’t miss any, haha. I’m disappointed that they didn’t give us any demoted from the Fates beast banner too, we can only hope that April’s update brings a mass demotion like last year...

I’ve started to merge Nowi, my existing 5* copy was +def so seemed like a good idea! I’ve inherited Steady Breath and Aether on to her, just trying to decide is she wants Swordbreaker for b slot or whether I should go standard dragon build and give her quick riposte...

Welcome back C: Would recommend +10 Cherche, I’ve got a standard DB3/H&R/Heavy Blade build but she’s great and there isn’t a lot she can’t kill.

Am terrible at hording premium units, I only just plucked up the courage to fodder a B!Ike, and I’m staring at my spare Hector because I’m too scared I’ll make a bad decision on who to give DC too...

So... they are rerunning a tap battle and giving out old accessories... but they completely removed the orb rewards. Tap battle was fun but without the orbs I’m not really feeling it. So far March’s update feels really lacklustre/quiet/stingy so I wonder if the April update is going to be huge. Be interesting to see when we get the new calendar.

I'm glad we got old accessories back for tap battles because I didn't have those and they are pretty. 8D (speaking of FB, I love Idunn's accessories too but yeah, no orbs in there is a killer but I am thankful for the easy feather building) But yeah, no orbs for tap battles is uh.... not nice. I'm just assuming this isn't the way going forward since it's an "encore" tap battle, right? /wishful thinking Will be interesting to see what April brings.

Bummed no beasts from latest beast banner got demoted to heroic grails, what the.. D: like how am I supposed to get more copies of Velouria now? (not that she would have been the demote but still)

omg congrats on your Idunn pull! I only pulled from that banner using the free summoning tickets and somehow still managed to get another 5* version of Ephraim (twin lord) after recently getting L! Ephraim and I'm like well Ephraim really likes me but the feeling ain't that mutual lmao. :'D

congrats on your new job! :3 your Lilina + Special Spiral suggestion makes me wanna fodder my Lewyn since I find his low defense so useless, like a glass cannon ugh D:

With survival over, hopefuly I won't vanish much >_<

After useing up so many Orbs and tickets I got Lugh from the banner....granted I didn't have a major preference minus maybe the dragon girl as I'm not as familler with these units. I also promonted my Atk+/Res- Sheena ( forgive me but needed to happen :/ )

Edit: and just scored Thea with my last ticket.

- Yeah, the tickets make me spend more too, although, I probably would have spent on this banner anyway, but so far the tickets have not been nice to me. Nothing from the last banner, and pity breaker Owain from this one. :( Some guy in Japan posted a pic of getting all four units + extra Sue on the SAME circle. I really hope that they had a 9%+ pity rate to get that or else I feel really cheated. Most 5*s I've got at once is 3, on a legenday banner, with a 13.5% pity rate, and NONE OF THEM were ones I wanted OTL. (why do I even play this game anymore? it hates me so much)

I run Vantage on my Nowi, it comes in handy a LOT. I put QR on her as a seal if I need it (running Panic Ploy for the arena, but she has QR for AR defense)

sounds like a fake, manipulated picture if ever I heard of one? :0

- Could be, wouldn't be too hard to fake, but I would be surprized if it's real either, some people just have good luck and some people no luck, and some people (ie me) just have very bad luck.
