- I rage foddered him to summer Norne, even though Threaten att/spd 3 isn't a very useful skill, it's 4th level so it'll boost my arena score a point or two next week OTL. I shoulda stopped after free ogma OTL.

huzzah :'D I always thought though that the threaten skills were alright but I suppose all the premium skills now are "neutralise penalties to ..."

- Yeah, not to mention they've been recently usurped by menace skills which have a much easier activation condition.

I'm waiting patiently for the new (fates?) banner o3o with like 10 orbs left lol orz are you looking forward to anyone in particular? I'd love to have Benny and OG Charlotte

- Mostly waiting for Scarlet! I'm hoping for Orochii (with raudrabbit!) Benny and Charlotte would also be great. I'd love to see Yukimura while we're still in Nidavellir; Mechanist class fits with their steam-punk theme, I think it's the perfect time to bring him in!

All of those are good, too! 8D I'm hoping most won't be kids though. I think they're essentially second gen and there needs to be better first gen representation before they're released. :0

I made it everyoneeee! I summoned Ashe, finally!! I can start saving orbs again ;;;; I hope for now none of my favorite characters get released or alts as I have no orbs left after this long quest...

- yeah, if we get like Mitama or Ignatius before we get Mozu or Benny I'll be really sad.

- I'm glad he finally came home :( RIP. Seems these summer banners have been mean to all of us.

congrats!! ;3;

Orochi's home!! :3 YAY

though this is me watching the new fates banner video ... OG Charlotte ... YES YES YES Nyx ... okay sure Orochi ... will be happy but .. where's any guy Nifl ... you have got to be kidding me WHAT [fuming anger] then Benny appeared on the map and I was a little less angry but then I missed Arete in the corner so he's not even ghb like I'm glad he's in but they really did the guys dirty

we JUST had summer banners and this banner is another waifu bait banner in fact pure waifu bait banner + ghb I'm upset ;s

This is finally a skip for me. The summer banners didn't really like me, but I did get some units that I really like! Even got a Summer Tiki on my free pull but damn they really have to do SOMETHING about those old units, haha. Goat dad has been avoiding me by throwing Edrags at me and Wolt will be just a dream hahah. I LOVE Orochis art a lot. I believe it's a new artist? I love this so much and I am very happy that she is not exclusive. A LOT better than her original art, I think. Nifl looks just weird to me and I will not even look at her, haha. Time to seriously save up now because the past banners have been such a headache!

- Orochi is 4s demote and colour sharing with Charlotte, so I'm probably not gonna pull for her. But Sparkable mythic and pony dragon niche feels worth pulling for me. Here's to hoping pony dragon is nicer to me than pony goat OTL Nyx is meh, Charlotte is ok, I dunno why they keep reinventing those B skills, first it was close call, then it was repel, then it was spurn, now its frenzy, they are all basically the same dang skill! Why not just give Charlotte one of those? Those are all still primo 5s locked skills on only 2 units! Are they just going to keep putting that same speed damage reduce effect on B skills then added a random extra B skill onto it? Next version will have WoM attached and every single gd dancer is going to come equipped with it OTL.

They defs did Benny dirty :( Also, boring, another blue 4s lance armor, couldn't they have made him an axe at least? (or a sword. lol. RIP 4s sword in the reg pool, at this point I feel like they're never going to give us one ever again)

- I'm gonna try for Nifl just for her cavalry dragon niche. Hopefully I'll grab a 4s Orochi along the way. I also really like her art. Nyz and Charlotte are meh art wise, Charlottes sprite is pretty good though, but her art looks very strange. mind you her 'outfit' is also a strange one that has always made her anatomy look off.

wow, they really did Charlotte dirty too by making her color share with another unit! So is Nifl a mythic in the end? :0 I thought she wasn't from all the reddit posts. Good luck with getting Nifl! I learned my lesson on the goat banner and will skip this one out. As much as I like Benny, he's an armor unit, so it's not like I'll +10 him anyway (even he has birbs omg). The reinvented skills are starting to get ridiculous. It's okay to give units 5 star locked skills in existence, IS lol.

Looks like we're all unlucky with goat dad here. T_T Idk, FEH Orochi is missing her sly smile imo. She looks too sweet when she had quite the attitude in Fates. Good luck with saving!

- No, Nifl isn't actually a mythic, no idea why not though! Seems like she should be. But I still want pony dragon! lol. I dunno if I'll summon beyond tickets though, I am pretty low on orbs, getting to spark will just about run me out of orbs OTL I got 4s Orochii on my first circle. Nothing useful since. Still have 1 ticket left to get. (Orochi refuses to talk to me in FB!)

Seems like we might be getting Muspell later too, maybe for part two of this fire and ice TT set. I hope they make him like an asian style dragon, and not a deer-dragon like Nifl. as pretty as she is, idt that lanky elegant quadruped style suits the fire element the way it does ice.

good luck! ;3; I got Charlotte and Orochi on the same circle, yay. Caved because I found the forging bonds so cute. Awakening banner in September means I really need to stop spending orbs like right now. T _ T

If we get Muspell in September, I feel like I won't get Vaike since Muspell will take the axe slot. But if that happens I suppose I'll have some orbs saved for Vaike so--

I agree, dragon not quad would be nice for him. c:

- You think Muspell would take the axe slot? I would imagine they would make him a red dragon. pls give us Vaike! (and pls make him 4s demote cus I won't have any orbs by then OTL) cus CYL banner is also coming too, and I'ma need Eirika and Marth and Gatekeeper! (Marianne can go hide in a stable).

orochi still hasn't given me her summoning ticket, but I did at least get her B rank support finally! (Nyx has over 2k points already)

:edit: Got my last ticket... not a single blue orb :( I did end up with an OG Minerva, one of the few launch units I was still missing, and another 4s Orochi. Ugh. I don't want this 4% pity rate to go to waste, or these 25 summons, more than halfway to sparking... but alas, I'm so low on orbs, and just feeling so burnt out with this terrible bout of summoning luck :(

lmao yes, that would make sense, dragon, not axe :'D this is what happens when I try thinking at night lol omg CYL will be murder on people's orbs ooh Gatekeeper is coming? :0 That's a lot of wishes, good luck with the orb saving. Marianne annoys me in battle because she's quite a heavy hitter (or I have not enough strategy).

yeah, it seems like 15 left to spark isn't a lot but it is still a good chunk of orbs when you don't have a lot, I had to stop at 20 which is a pity because I haven't had one of those celestial stones

I'm back after hiatus and I like the random moment of 4 star turning into 5 star when summoning, it appears to happen with earlier gens? Is that at random or am I unaware of any trigger? :0

I usually ignore forging bonds, really. It's nice to see Benny included in them, I was worried they'd skip him.

- *pets * it's ok, it happens. Yeah, 15 summons is 60 orbs, and I only have 150, so that'll drop me under 100, and that makes me nervous OTL. I may just have to give up on Nifl, unless I somehow make a ton of orbs before the banner ends. (more of those spark stones wouldn't go amiss either...) I need to save enough orbs to make sure I can Spark the CYL banner though.

The 4s turning to 5s is a relatively new thing. They've taken the book 1 5s locked units and made them a 'special' summon so you have a chance to get them still (again?), but they wont break your pity rate. That's what the 4* Special Rate stat % is for.

:Edit: In for a penny, in for a pound, summoned another time on the new banner... no blue orbs again, no green... one red, and mostly colourless OTL I figure I'm basically going to have to spark for Nifl at this point, so might as well summon everything to save some orbs at least... and I got a Fallen Edelgard. Now she's great, and so broken, and she has the same good IV as my other one (-spd +HP) So now I'm like... what do I do with her? Should I merge her? (she doesn't really suffer in the slightest from a spd bane, but she'd gain a few stats elsewhere) Do I fodder her for Add/Def ideal? (I have no idea who would benefit from it, kind of needs to be someone who either one-shots a lot and/or has built in healing; AND has a built-in self buff) Or, do I keep her and just have a second one to set on my AR defence teams: either split for each season, or two on one? (and be a complete a-hole OTL )

Ugh, I hate making descisions.

I applaud your self-restraint with keeping orbs over 100. ;3;

Ah, they don't break the pity rate? Haven't noticed that. xD That's so nice!

Belated reply, but I wouldn't merge F!Edelgard. I'd use her as fodder or I'd train her up and use her in modes you can use multiple heroes. Personally Atk/Def Ideal isn't that good of an A skill, like it doesn't neutralise penalties, it's just atk/def +7 during a certain condition. :s Like Atk/Def Unity is better in that it's automatically atk/def +5 at the very least, granted it's within 2 spaces of an ally but that's not really hard to activate. I'd keep her as a copy!

edit: Eh okay so it's atk/def + 9 if both conditions are granted, that's pretty good, but yeah that 100% health to grant it makes it seem tricky just because I hardly have heroes that stay at 100% for long; you'd need a healer or aether

- Yeah, I'm kinda leaning that way, just having 2 of her. I'll put one on my dark defense team, and the other on my anima defense team. lol.

Att/Def Ideal seems essentially created for her, cus she has self buff (her added movement skill) and she heals 7HP after every battle (14 if she has the mystic boost seal) I was thinking Lex would be pretty good with it, but also, I already gave him att/def solo, so seems like a waste.

I Sparked Nifl. I got a Benny on the last circle on the only blue orb I got in the last 15 summons. OTL.

I really wanted Kiragi on this banner :/

I sparked Nifl but only got a pity break Eyvel on the way. Got some Orochis too but luck has just been awful in general really, across so many banners. On the summer banner I was pity broken by Loki ahead of a 5.5% rate trying to get duo Hilda and then on the Nott banner I got freaking Hubert instead of Palla. It’s just so frustrating.
