- Welcome! I finally managed to get the new Hector, but I still don't have the original hector, instead I have Julia, Boey (x2), Titania and S!Camilla! (and Azura and Jakob from his first focused banner where I was still just summoning everything) So you aren't alone. (Another friend of mine has summoned two 5* Sorens already trying to get LAHector!)

Man the cavalry one is so horrible with the anti-cavalry tomes swarming you. Sigurd was the answer to my problems, to be honest, his ability to tank is so impressive. Xander had QR2 and went down into the bottom left to take out the ninja. The foes moved to take out the blocks. I then had B!Lyn (pretty sure she had Atk +3 seal, doubt it's imperative) attack the green cav that creeps up and repositioned her out with Sigurd, leaving him the only one in range. He tanks Ursula. Sigurd attacks Ursula and Brave Lyn follows behind to remove her. Camus repositioned Lyn out of the way and Xander swoops in with Ignis to take out the ninja and park in front of the green armour. Sigurd has the CD3 seal so is able to tank the red sword without problems and finishes him off with a Bonfire. Lyn offers fire support on the green armour; not sure if she took him out but, either way, he can't get past Xander. I think Xander had DD3 and Camus had QR3 but neither proved important, Camus barely did anything in the end tbh, he was really just useful for Reposition and maybe Fortify Cavalry (though I carry it on Lyn, too). Interchangeable, though, with any Reposition or Draw Back cavs.

I just watched a few videos on Youtube and it's quite similar to this clear, with Xander taking Gunnthrá's spot and Camus taking Reinhardt's. It diverts after Lyn takes out Ursula, with her being moved out of her spot and Xander into it, but hopefully you can follow from my instructions above or make something similar happen!

For Infantry I found Ryoma really helpful for the infantry dagger. I needed someone who wouldn't be doubled but could retaliate and kill - I had to give him the QR3 seal to finish the thief but it worked out. I then moved him to the top left with a charged Draconic Aura and Vantage ready to take out the second thief. Fjorm and Rhajat dealt with the horses which was... messy. Any anti-cav tome could replace Rhajat, she's my only 5* one so stepped up to the plate. She survived with 1 HP in the end, eep.

And I dunno if you have anyone with Armour March? That was the only way I found them bearable to run for the Christmas TT. At least you can use him independently once you get the Boots seal at 40k!

You found us! Bummer on Hector but I'm sure you can do it! I've always kinda wanted Sonya as she seems like a fun mage tank but I totally understand how frustrating those pity breakers can be!

Thanks for the welcome! It's not that Sonya is a bad unit, but I already had her, guess I can combine and start + her up a bit.

Is there any point to the tap game besides the first clear and the ach? I'm not sure I feel like grinding it for any other reason.

There's some daily quests but they're a quick thing to do. Worth spending a couple of minutes on though. Otherwise there's no point beyond the first clear. :) Kinda appreciate that because TT is taking up all my time haha.

And yeah, you can never go wrong with a merge! She also has Res Ploy which could be handy if you've got a mage who'd appreciate it. :)

- I actually think that none of those cavalry units have fortify cavs right now, Camas still has goad, lyn and xander have hone, my sigurd is vanilla, I haven't given him anything outside his default set (he could probably use a swap or reposition or drag back) My fortifier is Priscilla, who might be useful if all camus did was fortify things (she can't get any reposition though)

- Like Thomas, I also don't have Sonya, but it is disappointing to not get the unit you are aiming for, and even more so to get a duplicate.

I need to generally work on building my characters. I have good characters that could be even stronger. I should look up guides on that.

And yay, now a five star Faye, when I didn't even get a green orb as an option. But I don't have her and I don't hate her, so I'm not complaining too much about getting her!

The new Bound Hero Battle is... well I'm happy we don't normally have to face dancers. It's like Azura has a flock of minions she just sends at you in a flurry of madness, so hard to snipe anything out. I'm putting it on hold for now haha.

I'm actually really enjoying the new TT, which seems like an unpopular opinion. Horses are just fun to run. Eirika and Brave Bow Roy are just running through everything despite the slightly unfortunate Halloween maps. I'm running Roy with the Heavy Blade seal and Dragon Fang - with 61 attack on initiation he triggers it basically every time so has a flat 30 damage charged. It's great fun.

Did a full pull on the new banner as I had three blue orbs - third orb, out pops an Azura! She was -Spd so was quickly merged into my +1. I still use her constantly so happy for the slight boost.

I didn't get anything from the free pull on the new banner, and spent the last of my orbs on an amazing summon last night, so I'm going to skip this banner by I think.

I've been sooo lazy on this TT, At this point I'm hoping for at least the 5star, but I need to actually suck it up and get to doing it.

- Yeah, I'm having trouble with the new BHB, I don't want to keep wasting stamina on it, cus I want to battle the TT more!

Horses are fun to run, but I don't have Roy or Lilina, so stuck with Hector. Although having Elincia with the guidance seal has been helping him move around more, she keeps dying from enemy shenanigans that I don't anticipate.

- Super jealous of your summoning. Send some of that RNG luck my way cries

Also I keep meaning to mention this but every time I see Roy's small attack portrait during the TT I think his ruffled collar looks like a ginger neckbeard pahaha.

Camus capped his hero merit again so has been swapped out for Olwen, who never gets a chance to shine. I should give her Death Blow or something but feel like I don't use her enough to justify spending my Klein on her because her base attack is just that bad and she doesn't really do anything that Reinhardt can't do better (her speed is much better but unfortunately it's at the expense of her attack). And she's +Res -Def which is entirely mediocre. Still, she can kill a few things here and there. She doesn't need to do a lot.

I give you all the good RNG thoughts that I can!!

The guy's art from the LA is all impressive to me. I'm not as in love with either of the girls. (Random aside, I do love how the girls in this game actually get realistic armor)

I don't think I'd burn a Death Blow on her, I'd save it for someone else that might eventually be a better match. With the power creep that's happening, there will be a unit down the line that will be a powerhouse with that skill!

Yeah I ended up giving her Darting Blow because Florinas are fodder. She can reach 42 speed on initiation with a Hone Cavalry buff which is nice, good chance to quad and proc Iceberg. She's honestly filler for the squad so I'm not going to invest too heavily in her. It's a shame because I spent like 200 orbs failing to get her on the Cavalry banner last year (pre-me having Reinhardt), then received her twice as a pity breaker and have always found her underwhelming. 26 base attack is just rough.

Just reached 30k and picked up my second Eliwood, whoo! Might devote some time raising him to 40 tomorrow.

I've always found Azura to be a bit of a shady character in her own game (I am convinced in the original script she was behind everything) and this BHB is not endearing her to me... I've wasted a lot of potions on it and getting very close but then it's always the last enemy that is danced forward and kills my unit :/

Managed to complete Ursula Cav and Lloyd Infantry. Armour emblem as always needs a bit more work.

Got threaten attack seal, but I've been a little lazy with TT so far. I think I might switch out my team a little... I seem to get a lot of red units as enemies and not so many greens... I wonder if I can get away without a red unit on my squad. ( I love fancy Hector! He's just sick with Glimmer and as soon as I have some SP saved up he's getting vantage).

Congrats on your lucky summons (and welcome too C:) I have to admit I would like a Sonya. I haven't had anyone spectacular on my free summons lately but the TT banner and BHB don't really tempt me to summon any further beyond my free spin.

- Man, I totally agree that Azura is kind of conniving, especially in the Revelations line! Like, could the whole friggin war not have just been avoided if she just told the damn truth?

Azura I only like because she's a useful character, I'm not convinced I would actually like to know her!

Thanks for the welcome! That reminds me new Hector needs vantage. My main defense team in the area is basically stacked with vantage, cause then they can just destroy all the things. Love me some vantage.

- Yup same. Pretty sure she and I would butt heads if she was a real person. And I'd definitely tell her to learn another song! Cus my goodness, I didn't mind it at first, but then that song, over and over and over... uuuugh.

I should give my New Hector some Vantage too. Otherwise why do I have these 4 Lon'qu hanging around my barracks for!

: Now Hector or Ryoma. yes please. I will get to know them in real life, happily :P

- You can have Ryouma to yourself, but I'm coming with you to visit Hector! (well, actually if you were visiting Ryouma, I might insist that my best friend join you, she is super Ryouma obsessed. She has a full Ryouma team in FEH, I don't want to know how much she spent on his first focused banner, and she played fates enough times to get Ryouma every skill he could possibly get) The only Fates character I would be interested in meeting though is Scarlet. We'd hang out a bejazzle all the things!

Azura was so frustrating with how vague she was. I get that she was meant to be the tragic mysterious waif but she just came off as very suspicious, I mean, what was stopping her talking to Mikoto about it? The whole group of Valla royalty is very shady and has a lot of explaining to do imo (how was Mikoto still the queen when Ryoma is right there?!) Have you seen the Sociopath Azura comics? They are tongue in cheek but they make so much sense! I do agree though that she is a great unit in Heroes though.

Currently up to about 80 is orbs on my effort to save, although there is a new banner dropping soon so I doubt I'll be able to resist. Picked up Fortress Res today, I fell a little behind with my TT grinding so have to make some up today. I played around with my team today and I really like Raven with his new axe! I'm going to have to finish building him - maybe put that spare LnD3 from the extra Sothe I pulled on him and then have it stack.

The Linde warriors map is out, kind of interesting as it has lots of mages and a fairly difficult choke point with the placement of Linde and the bridge, glad they remembered the music this time. I think it would be a good map to train some fliers on.

Still can't beat the lunatic BHB :C

I got stuck on Linde lunatic yesterday.

80 orbs! I can't save mine haha
