- I think Mordecai is the only 4* I'm missing, but I don't need blues from any of these banners. Cyl 1 I'm just summoning green for steady breathe/aether fodder.

I’m enjoying the 5x bonus, it’s allowed me to train up so many units I’ve slacked off on to Level 40. Lots of skill building to do now though.

Also been working through the blessed gardens maps, couldn’t quite work out if they were being removed or just discontinued... doing them just in case.

Also picked Nino as my VG pick... we’re doing well but not sure we’ll beat Tiki

- I'm on Nino too, she is a very popular character, so I think we have a good chance. I think Tiki might have more supporters just because she's been around longer so more people have her? I just do the blessed garden maps as they come out. Forces me to use all these blessings I have.

Finally got Brave Ephraim today on the Cyl 2 banner, one free and 4 red, I summoned the reds in hopes for Celica, but I got 5* Flora instead (original, not the new one) She's a duplicate and has bad IVs. I guess I'll fodder her off for Def Ploy/QR probably. So I did my free CYL2 summon finally and got Veronica. Her and Ephraim have been training together, they got to level 40 pretty fast because of the bonuses!

So now I'm trying to decide... should I summon on the Leg banner to try and complete Ephraim-Emblem? I don't need Fjorm or Nailah, but Fjorm is good to merge since she's a frequent arena bonus unit, and Nailah is really good skill fodder...

I struggle with the fire and earth ones, so I sort of neglected them... but it looks like I have some orb rewards left so I want to finish. Congrats on your pulls! I suppose with the legendary banner it depends on how specific you want to be. I was missing a ton of units and went for it, and it worked out for me (although another copy of Alm eludes me). This is one of the best ones for a while imo, all of the units are good in one way or another be it strong stats or good fodder.

Speaking of legendary banner... poked it a bit more for a not -spd Alm and got a neutral Marth, I’m not sure whether to merge to into my +atk one to get rid of his bane or build the new one. Infantry flash seems like it might be a nice skill to play around with?

With the last ticket today I ended up gettina Atk+/Res - 4* Mordecai. Thinking of promoting him to 5* as that seems to be a decent stat spred.

So I spent most of the weekend levelling up nearly all of the 5*s in my barracks that I'd neglected to do. I have most of done except for a few (like Surtr, bunny Loki) So now all that's left is to farm their hero merit and build them...!

I didn't get anything from the CYL2 free tickets but I did get a Kana (F) yesterday using my ticket on CYL1. Will probably be a while before I use her though.

And hey Nino won the VG! It's been a while since my initial pick went all the way (in fact, it might even be the first time, I don't remember).

- I got a +spd - Def Mordecai on the Leg Banner trying to get Ephraim, and as per usual, got pity broken on said banner on a summoning wheel without any blue. I did pick up Holiday Eirika though, so at least not a duplicate. ALSO +spd - Def (the Brave Ephraim I summoned is also +spd -def). I have TWO curses apparently, the -att +def mages, and the +spd - def armours OTL. (Mordecai, while not an armour, fits the archetype, at least I will have opportunity to summon more of him eventually.) +att - res is good for him. Although, was it you who had built up a +10 Lukas? They are basically the same stats wise, Mordecai's skills just lend him to more of a support role.

- I didn't have many units to level up, but I'm sad the 5x is over. Just in time for me to summon Eirika, healers are harder to level, especially when they can't move OTL. I did discover though, that even after healers max out their SP and EXP from healing, they can still get EXP and SP from killing things. So her training has been going pretty well. Threw her on a team with two Fury units, one range, on melee and she just sits there healing their fury damage, then picks off the units after she's maxed out healing EXP.

Yay Nino! I had a feeling form the beginning that she would do really well, but I wanted a Lugh/Nino final, so I supported Lugh at the beginning.

I have two 5* Lukas ( the summer alt and the normal) but not a +10. I failed to get any of the units from that banner he was introduced in though so tempted to promote him to make up for that, even though I have alot of blue Beasts >_>. Plus Beast Exp would help with training future beast units.

- He has beast EXP 3 at 4*, so you don't need to promote him for that. He'd be a decent babysitter for trainee units with his link skill though (which gets even better at 5* through his weapon) I got Ranulf, Kaden, Selkie AND a second Nailah from that banner... I wanted Leathe :( I still lack red beast, but I also have a plethora of blue beasts (I think I have all of them, now that I have mordecai). My Mordecai will probably stay at 4*, even if I summon a good IV one.

Ehh I plan to have a 5* copy of everyone so may just promote mine all the same. >_> I meen if not him the next promote will probably be a lower tier unit or another red sword.

Beast Unit wise I have Rayson, Leathe, Nailah, Kaden, Veronica as well as the free Pannie and Nesalah so yeh....lacking red beasts as well

- I'd like to too, but it's just too many feathers OTL. I have higher priority units for 5*, like Florina. I want to feed her my spare Nailah for Null Disrupt counter and DC. And my Fae and A!Tiki are almost +10, so I want to save feathers for when I summon them. I should 5* Raigh since I have Lugh now.

the new berkut's animation is really good... the head tilt, the laugh, his fiancé (? i think that's who that is?), all of it is really neat. the new tiki's kinda cute too. i'd like the new panic for my main fred* but idk about that color share business.

• it's happening. i'm building frederick emblem. frederemblem. i want an all frederick aether defense.

I'm so hyped for Berkut! I was expecting a conditional distant counter refine (kinda like Saber) if he ever got a refine and I think this weapon effect fits him really well. It probably means Berkut's lance refine (if we ever get it one day) won't be as good but I guess Fallen Berkut will have better stats than the one we already have anyway.

No way I'm going to snipe only blue for him though, been there done that with Summer Corrin and never got her anyway, and I just don't have the orb stash for it. Let's hope I'll be lucky but that's OK if I get any of the other three!

Now I'm really curious what they are going to say in Forging bonds...

- Yeah, Berkut's sprite and animations are awesome. Unfortunately, he looks pretty lackluster as a unit. Tiki looks epically broken, and the rest are kinda meh. More BS 4th level skills, the new panic is going to be so annoying, at least it doesn't also inflict penalties like Aversa's. None of these units look like they could feasibly drop to the 4* pool, so not excited about that.

Frederick Emblem sounds hilarious. Do it.

And super not excited to forge bonds with these guys! Who thought that was a good idea! Kiran... RUN! (aka. I'm totally stoked for FB for these guys, I think it'll be hilarious)

I'm sad because I promoted my Florina with the intention of givine her DC and Null Disrupt C, but Null Disrupt C can only be given to infantry :( So no back to the drawing board on who to give those skills to. Florina, I can build a set that plays to her PRF instead.

in other sorta FEH related news, I'm almost done my Spring Sharena costume!

i think berkut would be neat with a desperation-using buddy, or maybe someone with mystic boost/renewal? i'm not sure i'm interested enough to roll for him beyond tickets if we get those, though. same with the new tiki. the forging bonds is going to be fun though, i'm excited haha

my second frederick is +4 but i can only get him to +7, i need a reason to roll green now! i need... i don't know, 50 freds? and so many feathers, oof

and o: !! how exciting, hopefully the weather cooperates and you get some nice spring photos soon :3

- Yeah, I'm not interested enough in any of them to roll for them.

Hrm, no greens on the new banner... go for Disney!Felicia?? lol. You actually need 55 Freds, 66 if you want a full team of 6. Total though... you can subtract 20 from that number to exclude the +10 and +7 Fredericks. I'd suggest giving one of them Null C disrupt, but he can't get it! (summer Frederick could, you putting him on the team?)

Yes, I'm hoping that there will be flowers at least by the time I get back form my vacation at the end of may!

Gotta swing by and say that 5x exp was delightful. All my 5's are now exp'd up, and I never thought that would happen. I've decided I'm going to aim for one of everyone, so hey, we'll see how that works with so many new chars popping up all the time.

New banner is interesting, but nobody's really grabbing my interest. Creepy Berkut is really creepy with that...lean.

Just popping in to say... new Tiki is really powerful and irritating to fight. In the Lunatic chapter she killed every member of my Flier Emblem team :C

- He is Mimikyu. I kinda love it, but I don't need any of these guys either. I got Siegbert with my tickets. I have one ticket left. I should probably just save my orbs and not do more full summons.

- Haven't tried the lunatic modes yet, but that sounds about right. From the get-go when I saw her I was like... yup she's OP annoying. Range and Brazen and +4 to everything when she doesn't have anyone beside her (like the start of every one of the new maps OTL) AND extra movement without being hindered by trees. She's the worst. At least she might be more tolerable in the arena since she will likely start next to other units... although, they'll probably be other dragons or armour march units, so moot point.

i haven't decided if i want to include my summer fred?? i was thinking about trying for more merges when the summer banners roll back around but i'm a little hesitant since he shares focus with gaius. it also seems a little silly to have one infantry and five cavalry, :p [sub]give me more frederick alts, intsys[/sub]

i think what i'm going to do is work on gathering feathers, and wait for another male grima banner / wait to see what the next few banners are o;

[edit] i don't know what's going on in the current chapter but i ship eir and lif and i am assuming eir was stolen from askr at some point
