Pineapple wielding units official hate me. 80 orbs down and not a single red orb OTL Picked up 2 4s Ogmas though. Keeping one for att/spd solo fodder. Nothing else worthwhile.

I ended up caving and went 100 orbs into the summer banner for a goat, didn't even bother to color snipe after my crap luck with L!Byleth and ... got 0 summer units and only a 5 star Hubert who broke my pity rate and literally has no interesting fodder. =__= 0 4 star Ogmas too. :s

I feel like if I'm overdue luck I wouldn't even know because I don't have any orbs left over and saving feels difficult.

In my anger, I foddered a Dimitri to an OG Olivia that I'm trying beef up. New project ... make OG Olivia more viable. Cause at this point there's little hope I have in banners. Pulling copies for F!M!Corrin was a chore too. I feel unlucky orz.

- Oof, that sucks. I'm another 60 orbs in and still no goaties :( But at least I still have Ogma to show for it. I have a 4.75% pity rate now, and I hate to leave that unresolved, but I also don't want to delve too deep into the savings: I'm under 200 orbs for the first time in a while.

I need to Rage Fodder a few things. That att/spd menace is looking really tempting for ilyana whom I was already thinking of giving Blarblade and bonus doubler... But decision anxiety OTL

That sucks. D: I'm sorry you're having bad luck, too. I hate it when I'm at a higher rate. It makes me pull until the rate resets even if it means saving for orbs when I hit rock bottom. .__.;

OOH. Those are some nice fodder things. :0

I did it. WOO. I basically rage foddered Dimitri and exchanged a LOT of combat manuals to get my +10 OG Olivia with like +6 red dragonflowers. And SHE'S still struggling lol (though granted, I ran out of sp to refine her Melee Bouquet+ and I haven't taught her her special of Aether because no sp left T_T and she gets +3 for a win like wtf lol this is gonna take eons; I imagine she'll be better with any special xD). But I like how she has premium skills. Or at least I tell myself while looking at her Atk/Def Unity and Joint Atk Hone. xD

- Yeah, as much as I struggle to fodder off my 5s units, it always feels good afterwards watching them go to work with their new skills. Do you not have any of the sword valor units? (I have all of them, and some dupes of them RIP I wish I could give them to you) When I have a unit that needs SP, I just throw them onto auto battle in Rival Domains, watch the first couple turns to make sure they are actually getting sP, modify the team and placement if they aren't, then just re-run it over and over until they have enough. Be sure to un-equip 'dance' first, otherwise she'll just dance and not get any kills. I usually fill up the rest of the team with other low sP units or units with low HM. It's a bit trickier, but you can also send the unit you want to get sP in with an unequipped dancer and a bunch of healers/rally/drive support without weapons equipped and see if that nets more sP.

We had that 5x sP event a few weeks back and I just took all my units with low sP and ran the rival domains over and over, now my only units with under 2k sP are new ones I've gotten since then. lol.

No, I don't. Ah, that's a thing. :0 Shame. xD I haven't really tried auto battling before for sp, but maybe I should look into it. Thanks for the tips. :D Ooh, nice use of the event. I did a bit with whatever the event was on at the time but not for a lot of units. Clearly OG Olivia got neglected. xD

- That's too bad. Valor skills are so great. I'm missing all the tomes and staff, but I have the rest, they are so useful! OG Olivia was one of the ones I was getting sP for during the 5x event! I have 3 versions of her for various things, I have a +10 4s one that I use when I need a sword dancer, I have a 4s neutral one for f2p, and I have a lvl 1 neutral 3s one also for f2p, but also for Forging bonds for training up new units, having a level 40 dancer pushes all the enemies to level 40, so the level 1 dancer keeps the enemies' levels the same as the units I'm training. The neutral stat lvl 40 one didn't have very much sP, and I needed to put Wings of mercy on her, so I was running her through rival domains. I use RD to level up my units once they hit level 25ish too, cus the training tower gets too stamina grabby at that point.

Apparently OG Olivia is earning +6 in TT so I'm trying to set up kills for her to earn my sp. (that and I ran out of time to max out the last TT so I figured I'll overplay this one and make sure to hit 50k)

I always read the tome valors as a waste of a slot but then that was before training for sp so. xD Wish we could trade! Ooh, nice! The flier Olivia was one of my staples early on in the game. I don't have the performing arts one. I hope OG gets a prf though I'm liking her ninja stance with the melee bouquet haha. And her lines of "Stop staring!" while hitting units with the bouquet ... great. xD

I don't mind using the training tower because I wanna get the free orbs/feathers and I have 200+ stamina potions so I don't feel bad using a couple.

- Yeah, today (and tomorrow) is 2x SP day, and TT gives 2x SP on the first two plays of the day to everyone (bonus units always get 2x) I don't have any of the Olivia alts.
Valor skills are a waste of a slot if you are wanting to use those units for combat, it has literally 0 combat effect, same with EXP skills, but for training/babysiting other units, they are SO USEFUL! So many units these days need like 2k sP just to get their base kit skills OTL 200 stamina potions... that's cute: My inventory has 2182 OTL I'm such a hoarder! One day I will sit down and catch up on all the Squad assaults and Chain challenges. lol But I don't got the time for that like ever :(

lmao 2000 plus? xD that is impressive powercreep costs a lot, I suppose :P

- Yup, 4th level skills dropping like flies. And if you want to get them different skills too... RIP. I need them to re-release the tome valor skills on non-special units. OTL Staff is generally pretty easy to grind SP for, just send them out unequipped with a bunch of units with fury and heal up a storm, also staff valor is on a reg pool unit, I just dont have her. But I got NY Peony on that revival banner, took ages to get her all her skills! Same with Azelle. Oh, I'm also missing dagger valor. Haven't really missed that one too much, there haven't been many dagger units recently.

Yeah, training up my Emmeryn healer was easy in comparison. I finally got Sol on Olivia. Now 700 left for Aether and 500+ for the weapon refine. =__= Ah well, I merged her in record time, so I shouldn't complain. xD

Daggers! I have a soft spot for them! ;3; Trained up Gangrel and Gaius. Telling myself I don't need a third dagger. But I don't have a colorful dagger so.. if only Picnic Flora wasn't a 5 star seasonally locked. .__. I have zero motivation to save orbs for her even though she's one of my favorite units.

- Oh, I have a soft spot for daggers too! I have Giaus and Mathew both built up +10 with prfs. (and soothe +10 but only 4s with prf and refine) Ylgr would be my coloured dagger of choice if she wasn't 5s locked. :( I had 3 copies of OG Flora, but I foddered her spares off for skills. Her new prf is really good. Contemplated building winter Jaffar or winter Cecilia, but never got around to it. I don't have any armoured units built up. haha. resplendent Amelia is kinda tempting, but she's still 5s locked too.

Ooh, I was thinking of building up Matthew, but decided on Gaius in the end. Gaius is so cute throwing his candy bear at folks haha. It sucks when there are new prfs on units which were foddered off. xD Winter Cecilia seemed to be around EVERYWHERE a few years ago. Winter Jaffar was also popular at the time of release. I don't have any armours either. Their limited movement means that I'd have to focus on like an armour team for them to be viable for me, so I ignore them. Amelia got nice new art! Nice choice. I think I have 2 of her but yeah, not really getting the pass unless it's a unit I've built or want to build. I also might be the only person who prefers old Niles instead of his Resplendent version. :'D His smirk is so much better in the original art. Which sucks because I was like oooooh maybe I'll finally get a resplendent.. lol no.

- Yeah, I built Mathew before Gaius, he got his prf first. Gaius I built cus I ended up with Flashing blade 4 fodder, which pairs really well with his prf. Kinda went full ham with him, also gave him special spiral too. I probably won't get Amelia unless the resplendent unit after her is one I am interested in. I got her as a pity breaker a few times, so she's +2, but I don't really have aspirations to build her. It's hard to build good armour units cus all the best skills for them are 5s locked OTL.
Yeah, I like OG Niles better too, although, I'm glad the fixed his skin tone in the resplendent, he looks very sickly in his OG art. Spent all my TT orbs, and still nothing from this hold-out beach banner :(

Ooh, nice! I gave my Gaius Close Counter and Vantage with a Glimmer special. He's not exactly the most durable of units but he can give some nice damage when his hp drops before he dies lol. I feel like one good armour unit is pretty useless if the rest of the team is infantry or other types. I forgot I tried building an Effie to like +3 or +4 before giving up because she was just too slow.

I like sickly skin Niles though. xD Glad there's an option to keep the original art, imagine if they were like and now you shall all receive an upgraded art thing!

D: Aw. Maybe try one more time? I tried two more times and got ... Caeda. T_T Least wanted unit of the banner. But whatever, maybe that dolphin axe thing is really good after all. I don't know. No goats for us. T_T

- Lol, that's what I run on my Matthew, he's a bit tankier, and his prf gives him extra def/res buff.

Tried once more, no red orbs, tried colourless, still no goat. I haven't been summoning the others, I really don't want Caeda, I hate her art OTL.

you clearly have much more sense than I do :P T_T Aw, mega suck. The game probably desire sensor'ed your goat wishes and gave you less red/colorless orbs, too. Always seems to happen to me for banners I color snipe. If I ever get 2 of the color I want, it's a victory lol because I get 0-1 most of the time.

- Yeah, the game really does like to desire filter me. More on Leg banners though. I've been getting a decent amount of red and colourless orbs on this banner, but just no luck OTL.

re - Hold me. ;( Summoned a few more times, 5% pity rate, and I got a fking Brave Alm! You have got to be kididng me, he doesn't even have any good fodder! Uuuugh. He was the only 5s on that circle too, the three colourless orbs and the one blue orb were all useless 4s and 3s units.

T_T omg what is that even-- /cries for you it's like you're getting punished for summoning and getting a 5 star, the least they can do is make the 5 stars useful UGH

I can't even load the summoning tab lmao. Which might be better. Finally saved 20 orbs and was contemplating giving it one last go but after what you posted... maybe I shouldn't.
