My dream banner was Flavia, Bastilio, Sayri and Yenfay but…. We got Say’ri on whatever the last Awakening banner was meant to be. I hope we get the outstanding OG Shepards soon. (Sort of want to play Awakening again…)

Advice heeded! I sort of have a feeling that this is a ‘pity broken by Lugh at 4.75%’ type banner, haha

- Yup, I was pity broken by Asbel at 4.5% Asbel is at least latest gen, so he's got good skills, and I didn't already have him. But still sadness.

(my dream awakening banner already ran: Summer, Gaius, Summer Robin, Summer Tiki, and Summer Freddy. lol. Too bad they are all gen 1 and awfully outclassed now! haha. Still got that sweet lance and axe valor though, those haven't been put on any other units still.)

I feel like new arena bonus units all but confirm gen2 awakening. T_T ah well-- I hope I'm wrong so that either one of us can be excited about a new awakening banner

I don't even know who Asbel is lol xD congrats, I suppose!

- lol, Asbel is from the Thracia 776 game that like no one played. lol. I got about halfway through it, I should go back to it and finish.

looks like both of us will have to wait longer for that awakening banner xD which I have a feeling won't be in 2021, orz

haha, yeah I was going to pop on to say it feels like we somehow dodged a bullet XD was expecting New!Fjorm just not… with this group.

I spent a few orbs on the dsh banner so I’m kinda relieved this new group don’t interest me. The floret thing… I suppose they need a new way to keep folk pulling when nearly all the most popular characters are in. It’s nice they made the floret once per new hero so you won’t just get whales spamming a banner. And hey, if this means this is how Takumi gets his sniper class, or Xander his king get up then I think I can cope with that.

I got Gustav and Minerva from dsh - literally the opposite of who I wanted most XD and the next day I got free Farina (I prefer Erinyes) but can’t look a gift summon in the mouth. It was sort of nice after some really difficult months

the new floret icon you get next to the hero's name looks great o3o AR and arena just got a whole lot more difficult xD I'm probably gonna hoard my floret if I can ... Olivia is too tempting to give it to as I know she can always use any extra stats.

Aw, I'm sorry the dsh banner hasn't given you what you wanted. I'm glad you got decent units / potential fodder though!

Xander reboot / upgrade would be beautiful. 8D (so would Leo upgrade , ngl, poor nonviable Leo)

exactly the way to describe the situation too! we dodged a bullet :'D

It's the Wolfguard minus it's leader Hardin. Sad no turban Hardin! Another blue demote. Radd! Ceasar! Save us from the 5s sword lock! I can safely skip this banner. Wolf is the only one I care about, and since he's the super primo one, pretty much guaranteed I won't even get any colourless orbs.

Ascended Fjorm broke my game. like legit. I can't get the game open since I watched the new heroes video. Haha (it's not a limited to me, or even FEH problem, but I'm still saying she broke it0 Wake me up when they bring out Ascended Shrena plz. k. thx.

Look at that, no colourless orbs! I got a free Brave Edelgard... great. I haven't a clue what to do with her. She's only got distant ward and joint drive res... they aren't great skills, I dunno who would benefit from them, I could merge her, but I don't really use her.

- can you imagine King Leo :’) it would be sad but I think he’d be very cool. The floret is so pretty, I do wonder how many we get going forward but it’s good that they are limited for now.

- broken game means compensation orbs o/ Brave Edel isn’t too shabby at all, she has carried me through many abyssal maps. Worth the merge I think?

With my tickets I got an Orochi merge And New!Fjorm with a good iv spread. This is great but I am eyeing the game suspiciously… it’s almost like they’re about to drop a character I want but make me suffer to get it…

- That's true, we get ooooo 5 orbs for my pain OTL. I had to crunch GC last night to get from rank 17 to 25 to get all the orbs. Almost didn't make enough points to get there after spending all my lances OTL (so many broken Save armours)

She is good, but I also have Fallen Edelgard who is my new 'go to' unit for those maps. Her built in heal and extra move is so good. My other Brave Edel is +HP - Spd, this one is +att - res, if I merge, I would use the +att one, but the -spd bane is more ideal.

I haven't used my tickets yet (haven't earned any yet haha, spent all my stamina this morning getting through hero's journey)

congrats on GC tier 25, I only made it to 24 T_T

I'm so jealous of all your Edelgards, I totally ignored the Edelgard train and don't have her apart from her basic and masked versions orz

YES free orbs wooo

omg free new Fjorm! O congrats!! I got free 5 star Lewyn but it's like .. what would I even fodder off him in 2021? special spiral? lol :'D

- Special Spiral is still good. Swift Sparrow is also still hard-ish to get and can help you get SS4 or Sparrow Surge on another unit if you want to inherit more than one skill tree.

I have never specifically pulled for Edelgard, she just shows up OTL I have all of her except the legendary version. I even have TWO fallen Edelgard, one for my Dark defense team, and one for my Anima defense team >.< . Can't really complain, she's pretty good, but she's only ever shown up as a pity breaker for me. (I guess the first brave one I did sort of pull for, I was just pulling everything on that banner, I mostly wanted Claude)

True, but I still have to find the SS4 or Sparrow Surge good fodder. T_T I wish old units' skills upgraded automatically. No reason why Lewyn can't get SS4. D:

- Yeah, and I wish they would release more of those older unique skills like special spiral or the solo/rouse skills, or bonus doubler on some 4s units even if it's just to level 2 so you can do more multi-inheriting.

I get it if they want to keep those premium skills 5 star locked because duh but if it's an old gen 1 that is 5 star locked then it should be upgraded. ;3; (I say this and I don't know if 5 star Lewyn is 5 star locked lol, because that's how much I pay attention)

Your idea of soft-locking at level 2 for 4 star units makes sense and would be great, too.

- Like bonus doubler they did release on a 4s with Caspar on the summer banner, I want them to do that more, should have tried to get a spare caspar for it. I have a fallen Lyon I could fodder off for bonus doubler or null disrupt C, but not both, cus neither of those skills are available at a lower level on a lower unit OTL.

New Fjorm is working pretty well- I’ve levelled her up and been testing her on some friend defences…. She’s died a few times (I’m clearly not at the level of some feh-tubers) but she took on a duo Lif and survived which was nice!

I’ve been plugging away at fb farming hero merit - man some of my old units need an upgrade XD but as always I find myself holding back on actually spending the fodder. Did make me realise though that I want to tweak my FTakumi since his refine doesn’t go great with fury 4.

I’ve been really lucky with the daily free summons - been gifted a free Petra and Angry Corn, and today I got 4* special Sigurd. Really happy to get an Angry Corn, his fodder is juicy.

Really having to resist the urge to pull out of boredom, but just under 80 orbs atm and I doubt I’ll get lucky after my free pull bonuses.

They are restocking the celestial stone shop soon, the fact that they are going to make dragon flowers redeemable up to 20 times make me wonder if they’re going to add sparking to special banners. If so - that would be incredible.

- I also got a free angry corn, he does have some good juicy fodder, I just don't know who to give it to. Sparks on special banners would be hecka great. None of this spending 200 orbs and getting nothing but pity breakers!

I have over 500 orbs again.... should I try to get Halloween L'Arachel?? crai My free summon didn't even have any greens on it.

Yeah, it seems like powercrept units have so much fodder that it's hard to decide what to fodder off. I got a spare Duessel and I'm like I can't decide what to fodder off so I won't fodder anything. :'D

I caved and used my grails (was getting antsy as no merge project apart from the epically slow building Benny project) and chose another lance unit, Clive. Not the greatest of units obviously, but I like his potential and I liked him in SoV.

Congrats on your free pulls! :D

Yes, I'm looking forward to spark update please.

Got over 900 orbs now. Can't wait to hit 1,000. This is mega level restraint for me. I feel like I want to compulsively pull on anything remotely looking decent. I don't even look at banner images anymore. I just click redeem and pull blue, hoping for a Benny to merge. ;3;

What are your thoughts on new legendary? I am .. underwhelmed lol.

- Big Mood. I have so many good fodder units just sitting around in my manuals cus I have decision anxiety, I have all this good rare fodder, but will it be wasted on X? Haven't really liked a lot of the 4s drops recently, and it definitely feels like a waste to put rare 5s fodder onto a 5s unit I have no hope of ever getting merged to +10.

I got the last Ashnard I needed from the Grand Hero Party quests, so that saved me a few grails! Now to work on Pelleas.

Oooo nice! Congrats on saving that many orbs! I don't think I'd want to get to that many orbs, I'd feel like I'd never want to spend and ahve under 1000 again. haha. I'm weird like that. I'm over 500 right now, and I think I'll keep saving. I have, over the past, used about 450 orbs by my reckoning to try and get Halloween L'Arachel, I can't stand that heartache again, and she's not even that good of a unit.

I really love Fae, but yeah, as far as legendaries go... pretty odd choice imo. Her unique special is gonna be annoying, but I wonder if people are gonna swap it out for like Galeforce/Aether cus of her auto -5 count at the beginning of the battle. Her art is kinda meh too. :(
