haha aw, but ninian's sash matches eliwood's hair! (i'm biased, orange is my favorite color and i like blue+orange p: ) i agree that the bouquet looks kinda weird though, it looks like one solid piece instead of individual flowers like the other two.

and ugh, i agree. i've still got my fingers crossed for maribelle or brady as new healers, but that's like. the smallest of chances haha. any of the other shepherds would be good though; hopefully we at least get like, sumia or something.

I agree, Sumia is soooo overdue it's kinda crazy. I love Miriel and Kellam too and would love to see them in the game. It's also very surprising how few Tellius units we have. Aside from the Laguz we're missing so many characters that form the backbone of both the mercenaries and the Dawn Brigade, too. The total lack of them at launch still kinda stuns me.

Brides are k but I'll probably skip, even with flying dancers. I kinda love how different Ninian's art is? It really stands out. Also really like Tharja's art - the dress is gorgeous - but don't want her.

- Yeah, more Tellius units would be good too, Rolf, Gatrie, and Boyd please! Dawn Brigade are ... meh, but they are overdue. Nolan, Edward and Leonardo would make a good banner.
I would like Tharja's dress a lot more.... if it were a dress, and not just a slip with a bustle.

- Yes, Maribelle! She should have been on this banner! I like orange and blue together too, but the shades are weird, I'd like the sash it it were the same colour as the tops of the side pieces, but it's this weird dark rusty orange that just doesn't fit with the rest of the gown.

Hmm, not sure what I think of the Bridal banner but I think I can give it a miss. Regular Ninian is a bit unwhelming for me so I think I can do without another flying dancer. Sanaki is a weird choice as well.

I'm just really excited for Groom Marth and that he's free.

Add me to the surprised-that-we-haven't-had-Sumia-yet list. She's been treated badly :C

hhh sometimes when i think of how many characters they've got to choose from, i get overwhelmed (and then bummed out a bit, 'cause alts are a thing). but yeah, i was really hoping for maribelle or sumia this time! sumia especially... fingers crossed for miriel and laurent, too! ;o; there's so many parent-kid pairs i'd like to have, wweh

(still not sold on the brides so i rolled a teeny bit on the genealogy banner and got lene and leo! i think that's probably all my luck for the month ;o; worth it tho. i got the pretty lady and my first red tome cav!)

also also i did Not realize leo, ryuji (persona 5), and plagg (miraculous ladybug) are all max mittelman. neat~ i need him to voice a fourth unit so i can try for voice actor emblem now that playing with the sound on is worth it p:

I feel like I always find a way to off Maribelle accidentally and I feel kinda bad about it. I hate the mountain map she arrives on (and its Heroes interpretation, stupid tree). But yeah, there's honestly so so many units that we'll never be satisfied. I'd be happy to have a break from Fates but... what about Forrest and Midori and Nina hmmm? Also I was thinking earlier that I'd like to see Libra added, I'd like to see them translate a war cleric into an interesting and unique unit.

Yeah those three would rep Radiant Dawn in a decent way. The games would cover some holes in the roster (actual green units that aren't seasonal!) with additions like Jill, Harr, Boyd and Brom, too, with his axes in Radiant Dawn. Also grew to like Shinon a lot in the second game, and they have to add Rolf to round out the family. And Astrid, too, as an actual bow knight. The roster is so massive across the games that they could spend a year on them haha. And there's also all of Elincia's crew which are non-existent.

I'm actually kinda hoping brides are the bonus units for the TT as it'll give me an excuse to use Bridal Lyn. I only ever really bust her out for occassional Arena Assault battles, so she can shut down armours or dragons, so it'd be nice to really use her with the buffs.

Also looks like I might promote to tier 20! I burnt a couple of crests (... I have over 700) but am currently at 10k/13.5k so it's looking good. My score rolls from 702 - 712 so it's quite a range - I think I'd drop on the lower end so it took a little work.

I'm just sort of disturbed that they literally call Tharja OBSESSIVE Bride. Like... that whole "Super-obsessed with Robin" thing is what squicks me out about Tharja in general, and they're really playing it up here. I don't know, I know a lot of people like her, but I'm just... not a fan. This banner is basically a skip for me too because I'm really not fond of any of the art (though I wouldn't say no to having a flying dancer).

My biggest thing is I hate that Charlotte was released in the last bridal banner but we don't have just a regular Charlotte yet. GIVE ME CHARLOTTE (Though I want Sumia, too. And Libra. BUT CHARLOTTE)

100% agreed on Charlotte. Even Shigure got his regular version before her and I know she's definitely liked well enough to warrant her release.

Oh my god I got so lucky! Got Ninian and Tharja in 35 orbs. Finally I have a mage flier and a dancer flier too! XD She will probably be more useful for her dancing than anything else but I'm really happy. As much as I'm not fond of Tharja's character her art is pretty and she has really good stats so that's a nice pull too! (Plus she has a good chance to do well if we get a Brides voting gauntlet so I could use her as a bonus unit)

Also wtf, they demoted Ares to 4*? Not complaining, but I thought it would have been either Lene or no one.

I ended up getting my pitty rate broken by Fel Robin this morning x_x -waits on my arena orbs befor trying again-

- Yeah, I get a unit, train them to level 40 then never use them again, they just hang out in the barracks while everyone else does all the work.

- Yeah. the PoR/RD roster is pretty huge, and we;ve seen what... like 8 of them?

GL with T20! I was 18 this go around, but it looks like I'll be 19 again next time.

- Poor Tharja, she was a really cool character in Awakening, and now she is this. OTL.

(and Jessi) - I don't even like charlotte that much and I would still like to see her as a regular unit. It's dumb that they made her a bride and then we haven't seen her since.

- Ah, I was right, I didn't think they would demote Lene. Her B skill too useful for inheritance on other dancers. Too bad though, it would be nice to have another dancer summonable in the 4* pool. Congrats on your pulls on this banner. I've had no luck.

- I was pity broken by Bow Hinoka (neutral stats, trying to decide if that' better or worse that -def +res). Good skill fodder I guess, but I've spent about 60 orbs and only seen 2 blue summons. I have a feeling this banner's gonna be nothing but disappointment for me.

Well, not doing great on this banner. Had a pity break by Shigure but at least I didn't have him already! So not too bummed about it.

I got a free 4* MMorgan from my summon today but I’m going to try and avoid summoning more on this banner. Last years bride banner was awful for me so I don’t want to risk it again.

The paralogue was adorable though, I wonder who Sharena was giving th bouquet too.

I am so surprised they demoted Ares. When I think about the orbs I spent and the pity rate I got to before he came home, I feel a bit... annoyed haha.

marth is very cute. the cake server (ardent service) is... not really worth inheriting i think. and we only get two. and frederick has lots of perfectly good weapons inherited already. but..... it's a cute seasonal weapon. and i want. to give frederick a cute weapon...............

very thankful i got lene during her banner now that ares has been demoted instead. i rolled a tiny bit looking for bridal ninian but i've got enough dancers and i promised myself 1) no more barracks expansions and 2) no going under 90 orbs so i'm done for now. good luck to all of you ;o;

haha, that map. awakening was my first fire emblem game, and i'm pretty sure it was that maribelle's map that introduced me to soft-resetting. that, or forgetting to recruit gaius -- first time i ran into him, he died before i realized chrom could talk to him p; and oh man, libra! god, add him to the intsys-please list too ;o;

big mood. at this point i'm collecting units for art and confessions since i have emblem teams i like and i'm too lazy to change things up x;

the paralogue was fun! i'm guessing they left it open-ended so you could put in your own favorite pairing, but... i couldn't actually think of a hero at the end haha. maybe regular caeda?

- I don't wanna spend all my orbs, but I want dancing flier! I have 4 dancers, but they are constantly full on HM, another would be nice. But so far, this banner has not been good to me :( My friend spent just as many orbs as me and got 5 5s and I've gotten one, and not even a banner 5s, and not someone new either! I like collecting as well. I've got some good units up front and that's all I need. Haven't needed a guide for GHB in some time (I think that's more the 0 stamina change though).

- Oh right, the paralogue! More orbs! I didn't do the bridal banner last year (I find it kinda dumb tbh, this one too, I just want dancing flier! and Ninian >>>> Azura.) But so far, this banner has been mean to me too. :(

I dunno why I was trying to fool myself that I wouldn't pull for a dancing mage flier, but seeing Ninian's capable stat spread sealed the deal so I dumped some orbs this morning. Spent around 100, had some risky circles but came out of it with a +Spd Ninian! She hits 36 with her boon so I'm going to build her into the dancing Summer Corrin I never pulled; with a bladetome I think she's going to be very capable! And she'll slot into my fliers B-team very nicely.

- Jealous. I've spent 100 orbs and only ended up with another Kinshi Hinoka. At least Nowi has grown from +5 to +8 along the way. I was hoping to get her before the TT, but I think I'm going to need the orbs form the TT to get her OTL. And probably the June quest orbs on top of that.

Yeah I was quite surprised too, felt like I was going to suffer after going into so many circles and only pulling one blue, or having to go red or green. I've given her Blarblade+, Glimmer and Goad Fliers but no spare Desperation fodder again, ahem. I think I'll use her for the TT as she'll need a bunch of SP, so hopefully she proves a capable fighter. Looking forward to the Flier Formation seal, I usually run it on Elincia and it's often useful.

Hinoka is a nice pull! Even if she is a dupe heh. I gave mine my last Shanna the other day and Goad, too, so she can give 7 attack if she's in the range of fellow fliers and now down those annoying DC armours.

- I'd be careful adding her to an Arena team at least! Apparently Ninian's overall stats are so bad that even one with an ideal Boon/Bane will pull your score down in the arena.

I managed to pull a Ninian on my third go, so I'm just happy to finally have my flying dancer for leveling needs! She's not great (she's +spd/-atk) but at least she'll get the job done that I want her for. I think I'm done pulling from this now, since I really don't care about the other two. I'm just resisting the urge to just pull blue orbs until I get my final Mathilda and have my +10 goddess.

I kind of hope they do what they did with the Spring banner and give us a throw back to last year's brides. My Bridal Cordelia is one of my favorites but she has -awful- stats, so I'd really like the chance to pull for another (and mine was already from the legendary heroes banner and not from the bridal banner at all...)

i got moved to an alfonse team in grand conquest and i checked in to spend some crests so i can hit tier 20 or whatever before the reset, and i guess everyone on my team's awake! they've steamrolled the opposition -- right now we're at 19 alfonse vs 6 sharena vs 5 anna. i've never been on a team this successful so close to the end before ;o; i hope we stay above ten areas controlled during the last round... i've burned through a lot of feathers these past few days, ;>> e/ basically every area is up for grabs and... all of them are ready to be won by the opposition. i guess i jinxed it... ;w;

yoo, congrats! o: fingers crossed a shanna visits you so ninian can have all the fun stuff, haha

i've got my fingers crossed for you! the bride banner and the tempest banner coughed up off-banner 5*s really early on, so while i'm happy about the pulls, i'm taking that as a bad sign when it comes to getting ninian x: and i haven't been relying on guides very much either, and i know it's bc of the stamina change! i feel way better about just trying random teams now that i don't have to use stamina pots when i lose a lot :p
