- I would totally trade you curses! I need a Cecelia to give Gronnraven to S!Camilla, and I also need a Cecelia who isn't -att to promote to 5*! Arthur is pretty terrible skill fodder. HP+5 and only lancebreaker 2. :( Swap isn't even that useful. reposition or draw back are better. I think I'm going to start merging all the 4*s until I have a +10 arthur, maybe that will appease the game. I already started doing that with all the Gwendolyn's, and she has let up on her appearances on summoning circles now. (I got one today, but that was the first one form this banner, blues have been pretty varied, Mae, Florina, Est, Catria... just the one Gwen)

fingers crossed the game looks at your 4*+ and decides you're not getting any farther than 4*+7, or something, and starts tossing you something more exciting! i want to do more 4*+ but i don't like that they show up above 5* when you sort by rarity ;>> my early-game merged virion and shanna will just have to stick it out by themselves.

(also congrats on breaking the gwen curse; mine looks to have transitioned from Only Gwendolyn to Only Est, which... why, god)

- Yeah, I don't like that the + level units show up at the top now either. I like my gold units at the top!

I have 4% pity rate on the new Sacred Stones banner... I am not sure what to do, keep pulling for Myrrh or save my remaining orbs for the anniversary and see what comes out. (I managed to pull yet more Ninos...) I really don't have many orbs left for anniversary now.

I decided that the game is trying to tell me something, so I picked the Nino with with best IVs and promoted her to 5*. I also spent some feathers putting an Effie at 5* - I've had a lot of her show up recently so decided to join the dark side and see if I can make a passable armour emblem (while waiting for a unit with armour march to come home)

On a different side I finally beat Squad Assault 3, great to get another +Res seal.

- I would also swap curses with you, I need more Ninos! You can have all my Arthurs! At least she has decent skills to fodder off! Draw back, Gronblade, Hone Attack. I too have a 4% pity rate on the SS banner, and also torn if I want to pull more or wait. The SS banner is still up for 11 more days, and the anniversary should be next weekend, so the two should overlap, so I'm going to wait and see what the anniversary has in store.

I get that there's a FEH channel tonight and everything, but TT starts tomorrow and we still don't know who the bonus units are going to be ;_; I mean we know for sure Myrrh, B!Eirika and L'Arachel are 40%, but I don't have them, so I just want to be able to have enough time to train and quickly build Lyon and/or Seth if I need to. Hopefully someone of the Askr trio is at least a 20% bonus. Actually I just remembered Amelia is a SS unit too so maybe she could make it into the bonus heroes but it would probably make more sense to have Ephraim/Tana/Innes maybe?

It feels like we get all info last minute lately. We still don't know who is the new Legendary hero too and it's supposed to start tomorrow. Between the first legendary banner announcement and its release we had like what, 3 weeks? This inconsistency kind of sucks sometimes.

Overall I'm still pretty excited for whatever the channel has to announce though! Hopefully it's great. I want to be able to skip enemy phase music (and maybe they could do something about the 5* Pool too? Maybeeee? Okay I'm probably asking to much)

putting it out there The Secret style -- i would like ephraim to be a TT unit, so that he's focus on a TT banner, so that i can take my measly orb stash and snipe blue. (i put down a few orbs on the sacred memories banner... pity broken by a 5* lilina that isn't any better than the one i've got, ugh.) i know the legendary banner is coming up and so's the anniversary, but we've got a mini TT and february quests and i still have a few chain challenges/squad assaults left... ephraim was on the weapons to refine banner last month though, so i'm not feeling particularly hopeful.

fingers crossed that 1) alfonse is 20% bonus again (he's max hero merit already but... i like using him) and 2) "you might catch glimpse of me in this episode!" is in re/askr trio refinery options. give alfonse a good, fun sword.

- I want Ephraim as a TT unit as well. I have plans for him! But it's gonna be costly!

No Alphonse, Anna :( Boo. I don't know which bonus unit to use this season. I tried Rebecca, but her stats are just so subpar. Even with darting blow she never manages to double anything. I had her Silverbow refined to give her more speed even. The Askr trio really does need weapon refinery. Give alphonse the same follow up ability that Ephraim gets he'd be so good!

Ha I hadn't thought to fodder her off, I sort of feel like I should work on +10-in her so I don't send her home either, so I have an extreme amount of Ninos in my barracks. Sounds rough re: Arthur... I am not a huge fan of his art.

Marisa is due to be a reward too, so I think that she'll be 40% and would be surprised if Lyon is not 20%.

The only thing I can think of for the lack of info regarding the Tempest Trial is that showing the blessing would spoil who the next legendary hero is, and the lack of information means it is going to be a BIG reveal (and maybe another main story chapter). My money would be on it being either Veronica or Bruno, or maybe Papa Askr C: Would be lovely to get a male legendary hero.

I am excited to see what the Feh Channel brings, especially this close to anniversary C: I too am hoping for a clean up of the summoning pool and the results of CYL plus what they're going to do with them (esp if Veronica managed to break top 2).

Yeah I was a little bummed to wake up to no new news this morning (... does anyone else check first thing? The day rolls over at 7am here so I always do bathhouse pools and FEH check while attempting to wake up for work haha) but knowing we're gonna have the full surprise onslaught balances it out a little. I have Eirika, anyway, so I'm one of the lucky ones. My stamina gauge has remained full almost all day, though, dragging myself through chain challenges 9 & 10 for HM grinding isn't the most thrilling thing. I've been using PA!Olivia, Arvis, Lukas and Sothe, though, which are a fun combo. I didn't realise before how potent Recover Ring + QR3 seal could be, Arvis is so great with it.

I am the same in the morning (are you GMT as well?)

I got an Ephraim on a free pull a few banners ago (think it might have been the Radient Dawn one) Haven’t looked at his ivs but if he’s a bonus unit that works for me.

(Random thought: wouldn’t it be weird if they were using FEH anniversary to make an announcement about FE switch??? I think that is a long shot though)

the dev team giving feh her birthday cake two weeks late is. so very feh lmao i'm on the west coast with noa, so i get why they use PST but the 11p thing throws me off all the time haha. can't wait for reset to sync back up with midnight.

fingers crossed he's on a banner again soon, for both of us!

this is my week off from arena (waiting to slide back down to t18) so i'm building lyon up in the meantime x: not many good options this week for me, either.

[edit]

effie eating the cake is so cute... thEY GAVE SHARENA A SPOON TOO I WANtED ALFONSE TO GET A SWORD ALL HE DID WAS EAT CAKE

e/ the legendary banner... performing azura, summer frederick, summer robin!!!!! tHIS IS MY CHANCE

Haha yeah I'm from the UK. Feh's voice was quite startling at 7am!

The news wasn't particularly revolutionary but I enjoyed it; I guess we'll get told more about the update before it rolls in as there was very little coverage of the actual content. I kind of like the precedent legendary Ike sets, too? Having too many original creations is gonna bloat the game and draw focus unnecessarily when we already have such a varied and lively cast of heroes and villains from the main games to call from. I'd rather draw on our existing universe than like... Fjorm's long lost cousin or whatever.

The Tempest Trials are a real surprise, too. Yay for everyone having 40% bonus Fjorm! I'm running PA!Azura, B!Lucina, Sothe and Arvis at the moment but might switch it up later on depending on my feelings. Dunno how Fjorm's sustain would fare over seven battles.

also omg spoon Effie was amazing.

I'm GMT +1, but I am usually at work at 8 am so I usually only get to check reddit when I wake up to see if there are any datamined info. I agree that the 11 pm PST thing is very offsetting sometimes! haha

Guess they fooled us all with the TT bonus units, but I can't complain about Fjorm being 40% bonus. I have PA!Azura too but I already maxed her HM so I don't think I'm going to use her this time... I have a +Spd/-Res classic Olivia I wanted to train and promote to 5* (because the one I used before is one of the first I ever pulled and she has bad ivs so I never bothered to promote her), I might just get her to lvl 40 with crystals and use her because a dancer is so handy. I have Shigure too but I don't really like to use him... Seeing PA!Azura on the legendary banner makes me hope that maybe next time it will be PA!Olivia's turn _ I'd love to get her!

Speaking of the Legendary banner, I just spent 55 orbs on it right now and I got Summer Xander. It wasn't the unit I wanted the most but it feels like it's the first time in months I get a focus without a high pity rate, so hurray! (also got my first 4* Soleil too. But her iv are crap) No more orbs at the moment so I have to wait until tomorrow now XD I'm probably going to skip Hero Fest, because I already have 3 out of the 4 units. I only miss Nephenee so I might just try to snipe all blue orbs on the free summon (if I get one haha)

@ Fluttershy omg I want info on FE switch so baaad too ;_; It was part of the reasons I bought a Switch haha. I can't wait for it!

The bonus units for this TT are really random. I wanted Ephraim.

Got Vanguard Ike as my free summon, i can probably be done with this banner now. I couldn't for the live of me get PoR Ike, but I got both Brave Ike and Vanguard Ike for free. Unfortunately he is -att. I might try to continue summoning on this banner for more red because of that and because sigbert and sanaki. I wouldn't mind having PAAzura, or Gunnthra, but I think I'd rather spend my orbs trying to get Myrrh.

- I can't stand Feh's voice, ever. I get the updates at exactly midnight, but I just cannot listen to the channel because the voice just makes me cringe. I rely on my friends to give me news :P

- Me too! I need neeews, so that I know if I need to go out and buy myself a switch or not. :P

i think the one mild disappointment i have from the feh channel is no solid camus news... xander is good to see, though! hopefully this means they'll do another rerun with camus as the grand prize.

& the tempest bonus has been so good to my -atk gunnthra ;0; i don't feel bad about using fortress res since it pushes her from 25 atk to 43!! ;w; i partnered her with sigurd for now and they're very cute together. fjorm and genny are still partnered so i'm happily waiting for genny to hit 4000 before i start thinking about who's next...

i dumped all 50 of me orbs into the legendary banner thinking i'd be happy with anything and... no one came home :') hopefully i won't get too much higher than 9.50%. (i did pull my first tailtiu, and another two cains and a mathilda, so hopefully they're good iv!) glad to hear people are having better luck than i am!

- Give Cain's brave sword to Alphonse. :P Sorry for your bad banner luck.

i just might! one of the cains is +res, he's officially fodder 8) just need to get the feathers together! i gathered 20k and immediately spent 'em merging xander, eep

(thank you! i forgot how mean legendary banners are. i'm gonna pray i get a better summer fred and then leave that banner alone lmao)

I'll totally buy Fire Emblem on the Switch! I do want to buy the console but honestly lack of games really puts me off at the moment so I don't mind waiting - I want to play Zelda and Mario but... that's kinda it. Fire Emblem and Pokémon - my one true vice (though I didn't buy USUM because the base games needed so much more work than they put into them, imo) - will get me on board. But I don't mind being patient at the moment. Still slowly working my way through Radiant Dawn though uh accidentally spoiled some of the big twists whoops.

Congrats on freebie Ike! Finally some luck finds its way to you. :P I did a full pull but nada and honestly not super invested any of the units available so gonna hold off for now.

edit: oh yeah totally forgot the original reason I started this post. BRAVE VERONICA. A twist I did not see coming. So interested in seeing how they handle this one. No Camilla, yay!

I figured my voting choices didn't place in the top tier...that would have been a upset in itself if they did. - picked Narcian, Reyson, Gangrel, Canas, Kempf, Sephiran and Zeke.....not the most propular choices-
