Congrats on getting your Airzura! Just wanted to give a shout out to Sheena, she pity broke me while pulling for Summer Xander but with the right build she's a total wall. I am using her on my armour emblem team, she's very dependable.

Ooh and Happy Birthday ! I wish you many good pulls today C:

She was actually one of my first units so I raised her to level 40 as a 4*, we have some good memories pre-SI. I used to bring her to pass Fortify on to armour units for the monthly quests but she's since been usurped. If nothing else, she can pass Killer Axe+ on to upgrade. I think W!Lissa would be a beast with Slaying Axe+ and Aether at her disposal but sadly don't have fodder for the latter.

-looks at the Voting Gauntlet announcement not only revealing that New Years Corrin is probably going to be the Rahjat situation but that the Christmas units will be returning for the banner in that-

...............well I feel emberassed x_X

Edit: - does a full pull and get's a spare 5* Talitu, pulls again and gets New Years Camilla-

• uses the last orbs on the Legendary Banner and gets a Bridal Lyn- ._.; Okey I'll take those in terms of luck....but what should I do with the extra Talitu? Does she have SI potental or should I merge her?

When they did Summer vs Summer they didn't re-run the banner, I believe. No idea what's happening with Corrin at this point, shrug.

Tailtiu has potential if you wanna pawn Blarblade+ off on to someone. Best units would be anything like B!Caeda, S!Lucina, S!Corrin, Olwen, Ursula or even a decent Mae. I used my 4* to pass on Drive Spd 2 to PA!Azura but wouldn't give up a 5* for it.

Yeh I realized afterwards that due to tiredness I read Chrom as Corrin. I also forgot about that with the summer banner, ehh if they did give christmas another run ( mainly thinking it's still possible because of how short the christmas banner was) I'll just use free orbs for another attempt of Christmas Robin just because I can't recall Blue Armored units being too common ( I can only think of Effie, unless Jagan and Lucas count)

Since the spare is also a 5* and you mentioned you wouldn't give up a 5* Talitu for SI I'm guessing a merge might be better.

I'd give her up for Blarblade but not Drive Speed at 5*. Depends if you have anyone who'd benefit really. You could always promote a common Odin if you're desperate to pass the tome on, though, I suppose. She's a good unit, though good blue blade mages are pretty common, so depends how much mileage you'd get from her.

I'd have to double check, I think my main Talitu has either bad or "ok" Ivs. Normally I tend to remember if someone has the recomended Ivs ( My Ike and Tharaja for example)

That said might be better to hold onto her for SI, I have alot of blue tome units as is ( Rien, Olwin, and Shigure for example....and I plan to ironicly promote a good IVed Owain to 5* to keep around)

My legacy, screaming about Joshua everywhere. :>

- Blue mage is the only weapon type I don't have as a 5* I might promote my 4* tailtu.

- Florina was one of my first units (plus I love her) so shes been merged a few times and has inherited skills I had no problem getting her quests. Bartre was the one I had to train up to get the quests. But thankfully a lit of blue armour showed up making his job easier

- Nowi is solid, but I just upgraded Ephraims lance so me can double stuff, I've been using him in trains instead of nowi since she has maxed sp and hm. I want ephraim to be a trials champ with renewal and sol/aether to go with his fancy lance.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Haven't done any summons yet, I feel like I shouldn't cus it's mode likely to ruin my day! Lol.

...Ok, what happened to the arena today? I only got 13 medals each time, the lowest I've ever gotten, and even though I played advanced and won with all 4 units alive, only got about 350 arena points for the victories. I thought I could better my score, but only got half as many points as I usually do in 3 victories :( I mean, I can understand changing it, but why not wait until.tomorrow when the season rolls over??

Never mind. I figured it out. I change the the wrong team to get the lunatic quests on the new map and I no longer had a bonus unit on my team. Didn't realize that they DOUBLED the points, I thought it was like 10% more or something.

(i just realized the only tobi unit i don't have is summer leo... rip. hopefully i get a second chance at him sometime. also, i need tobi to draw a green unit so i can field a proper tobi-team! otherwise... klein / takumi / clive / leo doesn't sound too bad... fingers crossed the next legendary banner has mr tomato)

happy birthday!! your ephraim sounds like he's really been spoiled hehe, you'll be set if he's ever a bonus unit for the arena >:3

crossing my fingers for you!! ;o; thankfully this banner's a month long so you don't have to rush, though i really hope it doesn't take that long for mr soup to come home!!

i'm usually team feathers for voting gauntlets, but having ryoma win honestly sounds like a riot... i might back lobster man even though i don't have him, we'll see haha

- What's tobi?

Yes my ephraim is a little spoiled cus I keep getting him as a pity breaker, and his skills are useless for inheritance.

So I summoned two 5*s, one from the legendary banner and one from the new seasonal banner....Fjorm (yay extra water vlessing i guess) and festival camilla. I now had all the camillas. Oh joy, my favourite fates chatacter/sarcasm. I summoned the two greens and the two colorless and got useless fodder, and summoned the last red one cus it only cost 3 orbs and got her.

But I did summon Lucius from one of the two colourless, even though he's only 4 star I'm excited to finally fill that void in my roster.

tobi is the artist that drew all four of those units! their style is one of my favorites, though i can't really pin down why -- i think it's the coloring style? it makes me happy idk haha

congrats on the new 5*s - if they come out with another camilla, you can field a full camilla team haha p; but more importantly, congrats on the lucius! you're now free from summoning from his banner 🙏

- All of them have pretty stupid stats though, Lucius is +res - def which makes him a great mage tank but a whopping 10 defence. Fjorm is the opposite, which basically negates her sole purpose as a mage killer. And Camilla is -spd +res, which isn't great for her since she actually has good speed. Brave ike is +att But - spd, which is probably better than the current - red + res one, but I don't really want to give up the trained one (or those 3 speed points).

so many quests o: even separate new years ones, and new years special maps! we went from having nothing to do, to having everything at once oh jeez. also, my barracks are full again. gross e/ also i went with soup for round one. if we lose, i'mma join ryoma 8)

well, it's not like lucius should be tanking archers, right? (i just looked him up tho -- 38 res?! i am Extremely Jealous of your New Reinhardt Deleter)... fjorm you could merge into your neutral one or use for skills -- though i tried one of those battle sims (kagerochart) and it looks like -res fjorm could survive +atk reinhardt, cecilia, or gunnthra, so tbh i'd raise her to lvl40 and see how she plays. dunno about the other two, though -- new years camilla looks like a bulkier elincia so hopefully -spd shouldn't hurt too much? +res camilla is a bit of a bummer though x:

Well I got a nice new years surprise this morning, had enough to try to pull from the legendary banner again with the time we have left and got Gunnthra.

Seems that Legendary banner has been very generous this time around for me in the short time I've pulled from it.

i did some last minute rolls on the legendary banner in the vague hope for red/blue orbs (got 1 red orb - raigh - and no blue orbs, ugh) - rolled gunnthra, bridal lyn, and innes in one session? probably drained all my luck with that. they're all weird boon / bane, but i don't really care. hopefully i can salvage gunnthra (she's +def / -atk i think) but if not, oh well p:

(innes' summon quote is "not that i care, but is a man named ephraim here?" buddy, i sure wish he was. same with soren and his "where's ike," like i dunno. tell him to come home, soren)

(i also didn't pay attention and sent the wrong team in to trials -- soup / fred / inigo / armored henry -- and they all survived so that was neat)

- Lol, I hadn't thought of that. Unfortunately, I usually see Reinhart these days paired up with Brave Lyn and it's always a trick to get out of BOTH their ranges. Most of the build req's for him actually recommend - def (though usually not +res) But with the new pain+ and Savage Blow seal, he could be pretty deadly. Just need to give him the dazzling staff upgrade so that people can't counter him. Too bad I don't have a Genny to feed him for Wrathful staff... though, I'm thinking Poison strike might be a better B option. ALL the passive damage!

Also yes to the everything to do! I've used 3 stamina potions today, and yet have barely touched the tempest trials. I kinda thought the gauntlet would start next week, after the TTs were over.

Who is everyone supporting in the Gauntlet this time around? I'm on team Ryouma because he needs to win this Gauntlet just to spite all the people who got seasonal outfits.

staves can't inherit poison strike, so i'd give him something like wings of mercy or escape route while you wait for a genny o: but you can stack c skill savage blow with the savage blow seal, though, so he can still be extra mean that way >:3

i was hoping the gauntlet would start after trials and the three heroes quests were done, but no dice. i'm starting with mr soup, but if we lose i'mma back ryoma 'cause his victory would be funny, haha

- Nuuuu, they why am I holding on to this useless Saizo!! lol. I do have a few Camilla's floating around for savage blow. Other than Narcia, I don't know who else gets it naturally (Leo? I think, I don't have him)

he's got nice art? lol i mean, you could keep smoke dagger+ around for a different dagger unit, or poison strike for a different dagger/archer but yeah he's not going to be helping any healers learn things p: (this reminds me, i set a saizo aside to build... i gotta get on that before the warriors maps leave ;o; )

leo and rhajat both have savage blow but they're 5* only; camilla's got savage blow 3 at 4* so she's way more reasonable fodder, yeah
