I went back in on the double special too to see if I could get another Xander; I wasn’t successful and came out with Geese and Joshua :S it was about 170 ish orbs and I’m still debating whether it was a good haul or not. I also got a couple of 4* Geese and 4* Lute but no special 4*.

I’m back up to 120 now so just hoping we have a bit more time to save before the Hero rises banner.

Sort of not surprised that Marianne showed up on this banner, the only thing that did was that Gatekeeper is not our GHB. I’d like to get Ingrid, eventually will have to save for her rerun.

- Not a terribly haul, I guess. Some good fodder on those two.

I have ONLY gotten special 4s summons recently. Mia, Sumi (bleh), Micaiah. I might merge Micaiah, her dual SE against cavalry and armour is quite useful, plus her prf refine that guarantees f/u attacks is really good. Maybe I can get more of her with the special 4s thing.

I didn't get a single green orb in all my tickets for the new banner. Oh well. I don't really care about Dedue, but I kinda want his skills. lol. (mostly wanted more chances to get Lex!) I'd like Ingrid, but the rest of the banner is meh.

Yeah, that was what I was trying to tell myself - it’s just hard to watch the orb stash disappear haha.

I’m back at 161 orbs now which is great and I think that I should be back to 200 by the time the banner drops. After all that... I’m not entirely sure how much I want to go in at this point though XD Hope the Easter banner doesn’t have any of my favs on it.

Hope everyone enjoys Ninja Lyn. I might use the one I got for the anniversary summon on Seteth... and maybe that will trigger him to come home a bit more.

- I am enjoying my Lynja, thank you! She's already level 40, didn't take long! lol. I didn't have her before, so I'm not giving away any of her skills. If I already had her, I probably wouldn't be doing that anyway, I'd probably merge her, cus she is a fantastic player phase unit, she's going to useful for a lot of maps. (although, my friend has speculated that a lot of future LHB maps etc are going to have lots of deflect missles seals and raven tomes now.)

I was about to give the Bunny banner a skip, but then the voice lines for MyrrNah... so friggin cute!! Plus great skills to boot... I need them OTL. Too bad harmonized units HATE me! But I do have over 400 orbs saved up... I was gonna try to summon for Freyja. I feel like Myyrnah is probably a better use of orbs. I think she comes first though, so I'll see how I do on the spring banner... maaaaaybe I can do both?? I feel like I'm overdue for some good luck... though I guess just because I didn't see a red orb for forever on the devotion banner doesn't necessarily mean bad luck. 4 5s in the number of orbs I spent was still pretty darn good, even though I didn't really care about those pity breakers.

Kinda pissed we're getting another Axe Cav as our free unit though. :( Couldn't they have given us Minerva or Inigo instead? Also (unrelated), non-magic red unit for 4s pool when?? They didn't do a rerun of last year's devotion banner, RIP Conrad. :(

I’m keeping ahold of both copies for now but I’m fully expecting a ton of nerfs for her in the coming months. Iirc they did something similar for Altina.

The bunny banner is nice... and I do love Myrrh but not the artist for her this time. So I might skip it until I know how I’m doing with Hero Rises. I don’t mind another axe cav because we don’t have many but I think they need to let up on the axe freebies for a while...

- Yeah, probably a good idea. She does have some nice fodder too though. I'm definitely not giving up my one copy of her though.

Aww, i really like Myrrh's art! I'm not a huge fan of how she's looking at her weapon instead of her opponent for the attacking art, but otherwise it's so cute! The only one whose art I don't really like is Severa's, she's got that whole broken back thing going on again. At least they didn't make her overly busty. Saleh's art is good.... but he looks way too young IMO. I guess alts can be from whatever time period, maybe him and Myrrh are actually from 20 years earlier, that's why they both look younger.

Mostly I just wish we hadn't just gotten two axe cavaliers in a row. And yes, less freebie axes, more freebie swords! Last inheritable freebie sword was what... LAST Easter??

They definitely need to start mixing up the unit types at bit more. It would be nice to get a free colourless time, a red bow or even more free green or blue tomes (feel like the last one was Brunnya?)

I pulled the first circle on the bunny banner - got an Elise which was a nice surprise. Not sure I’ll pull more - I realised I have 35 red tome users in my barracks that I need to start using!-

- Yeah, they introduced a lot of inheritable red and blue tomes, but no freebie ones :( A free colourless tome would be nice, especially with the Pawns of Loki battles now. (I pretty much just use beasts and dragons though)

Congrats on your Elise, I still don't have her! I got my Myrrnah... but she's +spd -def. Quite tempted to use my trait fruits on her, I want to use her in aforementioned PoL battles, +spd -def is pretty much the worst IV for her. (cus of course she would be) Took about 150 orbs to get her, got nothing else from the banner. Did get a Brave Hector, which was kinda nice, I can merge away his -def bane. His refine is super good, so maybe I'll use him more.

I have SO MANY units that just hang out! lol. I try not to sacrifice unique units. I should use them more and get more feathers from them all!

I really need to build some newer units I think. I keep getting absolutely WRECKED in the arena anytime any iteration of Claude or Edelgard shows up OTL. Unfortunately, none of the newer units really interest me all that much, especially not the ones that won't cost 1000+ orbs to get to +10 :( Guess I should work on that Illyana. Trying to decide if I want to blarblade + bonus doubler her. I have some bonus doubler fodder. I need someone who can NUKE Claude OTL I wonder if she can do it... Nino can't :( . Eirika usually does OK against Edelgard, but save skills everywhere are just so annoying >.<

Oooo we can have more friends now!

Haha, same I hate to fodder or send home copies of units I haven't maxed out on feathers or only have a single copy of. The only time I've manually some units without using them were the really old GHBs like Navarre and Lloyd.

I got absolutely destroyed on Pawns of Loki today by a Brave Hector who just killed everyone because he had Far Save. His refine was a complete mistake, not even my green units could kill him :C

Currently sat at 240 orbs. That's the most I think I've ever had saved - and now the AHR is here I'm kinda reluctant to go in. Might see how the first few circles go before going all the way to the spark.

- Yeah, his refine is so broken, it has like 5 effects! I got wrecked by him in the arena too, my fully buffed Nino couldn't even beat him >.< TBH, the save skills were also a mistake... they are also quite broken! I dunno what they were thinking when they came up with those skills... like, you know what would be cool? If this already broken armour unit (who has higher stats just due to the fact that they are an armour unit) could have a skill to step in and just body block for all the other units around it with pitifully low def (but tripped out att and spd) ... and and then like that skill would also just buff their already broken stats even more for NO GOOD REASON! This totally won't break the game at all! (And also, thanks for reminded me about PoL! I forgot about it!)

I've still got 250 after getting Myrrnah, I'll probably try to either Sieros of Frejya (even though I'l probably just end up with Edelgard or Dimitri :( )

I ended up pulling- maybe for better or worst I did full circles to try and save orbs. I got LDimitri, Loki and sparked Corrin. Had a stupid high pity rate afterwards so I poked a bit more and got another LCorrin and blue Micaiah. That was everything I wanted really - Dimitri was +spd so I merged my old one (+res) into him for the juicy speed boon and I fixed Corrin’s -atk bane. It’s nice to get some dc fodder since I was running low. Took about 180 orbs.

Loki ehhhh.... I don’t like her, I was hoping she’d never show up so idk what to do with her. She had the best iv of the bunch (+atk -def) so I might just keep her for now and see what her refine does. Getting Micaiah was nice too.

Good luck everyone if you are pulling on this banner!

- I got Sieros with on my first circle, so I'm done. I'm sad we don't get the 4-8 place guys :( I really wanted a chance to get Freyja. Oh well, Sieros came home with a great IV (+def -spd) and only took 4 orbs to get, so I can't complain too much!

Loki is yeah, meh. I ate my dupe of her ages ago to give Nino odd attack wave way back when she was one of only two units who had it. She might be nice to have around as fodder for if/when duel colourless 4 comes out.
Micaiah is great, dual cavalry/armour effectiveness is always handy, and then her refine is also really good.

Now I'm trying to decide if I should go back and try for a better MyyrNah, or if I should try for just some OG Myrrh merges (and I also still don't have Minerva, one of the 3 launch units I still don't have)
Or just keep saving! (I've got almost 400 orbs again now thanks to new maps + TT)

I think regular Myrrh is on a 4% banner soon so probably better to wait for that one for merges? I find going I for different IVs very dangerous- I’d use fruit personally unless you want her fodder or merges.

I... went back in the banner and sniped blues and colourless. I didn’t get anything except an empty orb stash and a 4% pity. Kinda bummed out about it :C

- Yeah, I also decided to push my luck, bad idea. :( Got a 4s special Mist (big whoop, she STILL sucks and has 0 good fodder) and 5s Fallen Berkut going for Myrrnah (no colourless summon, didn't even get a Minerva on all the blues that came up on that same summon) And tried about 7 times on the TT banner and only got a single green orb, which thankfully brought me Lex, who I had been looking for, but no Myrrh and no Minerva. Gave up after that. 4% pity rate on the TT banner now, but the lack of green orbs in as many summons doesn't inspire me to go back.

You win some, you lose some Really though, I'm like 2 inches away from just dropping this game and never coming back. Arena's been impossible since Save skills and Leg Claude, AR's annoying for much the same reason. And the new modes interest me for about 2 days, then just bring other annoyances and become time consumption.

@ KiaArra Finally broke my pity on the banner, it was somewhere between 4.25 and 4.50 I think. Got another Lynja. Just glad I was able to break it before the end.

I know what you mean about wanting to step away. I find myself tired of it lately. I hover between t18-20 arena and haven’t been near the vault so luckil I’ve not seen too many saves or Claudes... but actually killing Myrrnah in the TT was exhausting. Unconditional damage reduction is not something I think I can play against.

Edit: Dagr is the new Mythic... heh. I really like her in the story so far and her war birb thing, so I would like to get her eventually... but right now I barely have enough to do a full circle of pulls. It is a shame though that we can't get more Mythics that aren't OCs. Seiros was a breath of fresh air after so many and I wish they would mix it up a bit more...

- Yeah, we knew Dagr was coming. I wish they would make more of the Heroes guys summonable, and not just mythic all the time. We got the book two heros as just regular summonable units, but since then... it's been nothing but mythics. I mean, sure, Mythic heroes didn't exist back then, but Hrid and Gunnthra were legendary, and they still gave us Ylgr, Leavetainn, Helbindi, Surtur, Loki, and Leagjarn as reg pool units, they weren't all released as legendary! OTL

I enjoy Dagr, she has interesting skills, but mostly I want Frejya. I have 2 of all the other colours on this banner, but none of the greens, so I decided I would summon for one of the greens... you think I could get some green orbs? Nope! I think I've summoned more colourless than green in 60 or so orbs OTL. I got a Lex and a Rahjat on some of those few greens though.

:edit: should have stopped. Didnt. Ended up with dussel. Didnt even get my back up colour. At least I got the blue unit I didnt have.

Oh congrats on Duessel though, he is very OP and just doesn’t die.

I... think I had about 20 orbs to spend on this banner. I was super lucky and got Dagr on the free summon, and poked at it a bit more and also a LEdelgard. After a run of quite frankly rubbish IVs they also had great stat spreads. Can’t quite believe it. Taking that as a sign to not summon for the rest of the month because I’ve clearly used up all my luck. I really want another Freja (mine is +def -atk) but I’ll save for her re-run and also it looks like we’re getting Brave Houses repeat so I want to spark on that too.

I will say that the limited summoning I did the green orbs were sparse. It’s funny, they didn’t stop showing up in AHR :/

- Got a not great IV though, -att +HP He is still pretty good though, I hate when he shows up in AR or the Arena.

I poked the Leg banner again, cus I dunno, I'm a glutton for punishment I guess. I got a 4s Myrrh, so that was nice I guess, since she refused to show up on the TT banner. She's +5 now. If I can get her t +10 I might feed her some nice skills, maybe finally use my resplendent hector spare to give her DC or something.
Congrats on your Dagr and L.Edelgard. 20 orbs, crai. I had a 10.5% pity rate when Dussel showed up OTL.

I have DC on my Myrrh along with her refine and she is incredible. Mine is +2 I think? She's brilliant, and there were a few Abyssal maps where she was super handy.

New stone currency looks interesting, I'll have to save up so I can get some of the forma souls. I'm currently debating using my free soul on FCelica from hall of forms. I wasn't planning to but she got some crazy good skills (SS3, Lull Atk/Spd and Joint Drive Spd) and that's probably all I'd ever want for her. Might see what the next hall brings before spending though.

Nice to see OG Pent and Louise in the game at last, I feel like there are a few people here that were looking forward to them. Definitely used up all my luck on the last Mythic banner; all my free summons since then have been 3*. Trying to build up my orb stash again but things just feel... slow at the moment.

- I got pretty luck and got 3 5s units on the 4th summon (third ticket) including Pent, the other two were Brave Eliwood and Yarne, who are dupes, but pretty good skill fodder. I wanted another Pent to give Nino GD4, since she's one of my arena staples, and I got a grand 0 green orbs between that third ticket summon and spark OTL. I did get a Leathe in there though. In the end I got 6 5s units including the one I sparked, but only one of them (not including the spark) were banner focus. Meh, Edelgard I'll feed to Lex for Att/Def solo, and Yarne I'll feed to OG Eliwood for At/Spd solo and galeforce, dunno who to give SS3 to yet though. Leathe I merged, I now have a +3 Leathe, her skills aren't really worth inheriting.

Yeah, I have one of the new stone things now, I'll probably save for a forma soul, it's the only thing really worth it on there IMO.

:edit: Got a free Larum from the gap banner, so now I have filled the last limited hero dancer gap in my roster.

New banner is cute, they seem to be on a SS kick recently. I want to summon for these guys, but historically SS alts, that aren't Ephraim, hate me. Halloween L'arachel evaded me two years in a row, Beach Tana 3 years in a row, Fallen Lyon had to be sparked, and the only reason I have an Eirika alt is cus they gave her to us for free. OTL. While I'm glad to finally have an Innes in my barracks, I feel like they should have picked Joshua to give all the SS countries representation!
