Yay congrats! She's so fun to use, you'll have a blast with her. On my top flier team I run Cordelia (Fortify), S!Camilla (Goad), Elincia (Hone) and Airzura (Hone) and I'm pretty happy with the way they work together, good synergy. I'd like to work on a Caeda project but haven't pulled one with good IVs so it's on hold.
Yup, she has her bladetome and she's pretty fabulous with it. The TT buffs do skew perception, obviously, but I'm running her with no A skill (eyeing up Fury, no fodder) and Chill Atk (no fodder) and she's proving extremely capable at mowing down anything that stands in her path. Definitely worth the investment.
Elincia is my dream final member for my flying team, but I haven't managed to pull one yet. Not hugely surprising I guess since the red pool is just so big, but disappointing none the less. I'll probably use Caeda until I get her.
Caeda is cool, especially with her Wing Sword and refine. I'm looking for a +Atk to promote (I pulled her at 5* previously but she's got crappy IVs) but I'm getting impatient heh.
Elincia is a ton of fun to use. I was super lucky and ended up with a +Atk, which synergises beautifully with Amiti's Brave Effect. She can burst down almost anything, especially with Dragon Fang charged. I usually run her with Flier Formation but Hit and Run can be handy, too. I also have an accidental NY!Camilla with refined Slaying Sword but prefer Elincia's raw power over her more defensive play style. I've used her in a couple of TTs and she can be useful, especially with Def/Spd Bond and Close Def seal turning her into a wall.
Edit: pulled a Micaiah on my freebie pull! Been thinking about how great it'd be to see her on a banner, especially now I've completed Radiant Dawn. She's... +Def -Atk lol. But I'm gonna slap DB3 on her (ever since I started pulling Kleins I'm like... what do I do with them) and let her get to work on armours and cavs when I see them in AA.
Yeah I adore Flier Emblem and although I do love my Airzura, having another ranged flier is going to be super helpful - maybe I can finally beat Ursula, haha. I'm gonna wait until I get 5* Groom Marth before training her up though. Congrats on your Micaiah as well, she is very handy when faced with an armour wall.
Congrats on Charlotte! I find it strange that a year on we don't have her regular form, but that's something to look forward too. I love flying units (my Airzura is amazing) so I'm looking forward to training her up... I just don't ever think I got a pity rate that high before. I hope you get an Elincia soon, she's one of my favourite units and always has a place on my Flier team. Before her I used Palla who I found to be pretty good too.
Bow Hinoka is the best, I love using mine. I'll get over the orbs thing soon, I'm sure. I haven't looked at B!Ninian's stats but I am just glad to have her and you're right she is pretty unique. Congrats on your Kana C:
So for TT I decided to run Regular Tharja and Regular Ninian on my team to start with and they have support from Shiro and Camilla to round them off - Shiro's a lot of fun, and he's built like a wall, especially if you park him on a defence tile. (It's also really satisfying to have Shiro take out Loki if his special is ready: "Any last words?")
Regular Ninian definitely needed some work, turns out mine is -Att +Res. I refined her Light Breath to be +Att to try and give some extra kick and then gave her Glacies, Triangle Adept, Swordbreaker and Threaten Res. She's working pretty well now - once I get the feathers for it I want to give her Lightning Breath.
Regular Tharja was also a little low on skills - I did want to give her Fury so desperation kicks in a little easier but I need feathers to promote so of my Hinata horde but darting blow is a good interim skill while I'm saving.
In other news... well, the game was clearly feeling like it needed to make something up to me after the bride debacle because I got a Zelgius(!) from my free pull this morning. I didn't have him, and I think he's +def. Should be fun to play with once I've finished all my other projects.
My Ninian is -Atk too, she really does hit like a wet paper. I gave her TA3 and Lightning Breath from a spare Nowi and Res refined so she'd have some niche, and she actually does okay with the TT buffs in my Lunatic 5 autobattle team provided she doesn't step in front of a green.
I love my Shiro too. I only gave him Swap, Bonfire and QR2 but always bust him out for AA. I love that I can park him in front of any blue and red melee units and know he'll come out on top. Kinda hope his weapon gets refined in the future but he's cool for now.
And congrats on Zelgius! He's a fun unit with just his base kit, always make an appearance on armour emblem despite mine being -Atk. Black Luna is just broken haha.
Well, had some good luck on the stance banner, I got female Morgan from my free pull.
x_x Still hopeing with the new brides
Edit: And pitty broken again T_T, darn Siegbert WHY'D you have to show up NOW?!
Has all 2009 strains, all 2010 strains, all 2011 strains, all 2012 strains, all 2015 strains, all 2016 strains, all 2017 strains, all 2018 strains, all 2019 strains, all 2020 strains, all 2021 strains, all 2022 strains, All 2023 strains, all 2024 strains, all Vial strains, Biodoominessence, Batnip, Cakewalk, and Stalacbite,
I tell a lie, my Zelgius appears to be totally neutral. That should work out pretty well once I can start training him C:
I put vantage on my Shiro instead of quick riposte, it works nicely for him. Although I do have some spare Subakis lying around... makes me want a vantage seal for him, and can't decide if a vantage seal would be great or horrific. (Leaning towards horrific). I'd love a refine for Shiro too, maybe one that gives him distant counter to match his dad. My Ninian seems to be okay a mage counter/bait in the TT but I'll have to test her more in the training tower to see if that carries over. I have plenty of refining stones and arena medals so I can try +res on her too.
So my female Morgen is a attk bane, Def boon, my Lyn is a speed bane, Res boon, and my Siegbert is a spd boon, hp bane. :/
At lest one of these is good IVed otherwise i'd feel worce on still not getting one of the new brides yet.
I'm blaming my luck on the old brides for this >_<, at lest if I fail I may have another chance in a legendary banner.....or maybe next year but I kinda hope it won't come to that. Darn seasonals being tricky again.
Has all 2009 strains, all 2010 strains, all 2011 strains, all 2012 strains, all 2015 strains, all 2016 strains, all 2017 strains, all 2018 strains, all 2019 strains, all 2020 strains, all 2021 strains, all 2022 strains, All 2023 strains, all 2024 strains, all Vial strains, Biodoominessence, Batnip, Cakewalk, and Stalacbite,
My amazing wife just completed this for me (since I can't draw anything but cats) and I had to come share it with all of you because it came out SO CUTE.
My mains! Mathilda is of course the beast of my team, although my Grima Robin is a close second (He is +atk/-spd and the only reason my arena score stays decently high).
I'm done showing it off now! I'm just happy it's all complete and pretty.
Congrats on getting Siegbert though! He's a great unit and I really enjoy using mine. Dark Greatsword has built in swift sparrow I think, and my Siegbert (-def +res) nearly always doubles... he's got good attack and reasonable bulk so he'd be great for a desperation build.
That. is. amazing! They all look so good (especially love the Takumi and Hinoka!). Makes me want to spend more time working on Soup Prince.
Awww they look great! Inigo is looking snatched haha. I think my fave might be Morgan though, she looks like she's got a scheme up her sleeve haha. Alm is super cute too.
Congrats on the pulls! That's a lot of cool units, even if they aren't what you were hoping for! Female Morgan is fine with an attack bane if you give her Blarblade (I know your aren't super keen on SI but she's worth it!) as the raw power overcomes her bane. Siegbert is a great unit, as stated, while Lyn is... Lyn. I've had a decent one sat around for months but never got around to building her as she kinda wants Wrath to shine and never pulled a Nephenee, despite my best attempts on Hero Fest (lol that banner killed me, such a bomb).
My soup Takumi is one of my best units and generally on my main team! He's +spd/-def so perfect IVs. He has swift sparrow and desperation, so as long as he takes just one hit to start, he's pretty unstoppable!
(It helps that Takumi is one of my favorite FE characters ever so i spent a lot of time and love on him)
Agreed, better then my pull around xmas time at lest >_< as I have gotten new stuff.
I hope to still get one of the brides as I like to own at lest one seasonal per banner ( was so happy to have last year and this year's bunnys this year) but I may just have to death with a groom at worst :/
Has all 2009 strains, all 2010 strains, all 2011 strains, all 2012 strains, all 2015 strains, all 2016 strains, all 2017 strains, all 2018 strains, all 2019 strains, all 2020 strains, all 2021 strains, all 2022 strains, All 2023 strains, all 2024 strains, all Vial strains, Biodoominessence, Batnip, Cakewalk, and Stalacbite,
I got the wrong blue tome using tactician for my free pull. And Ninian still doesn't want to visit me. :(
I should check my regular Ninian. As one of my first 5s units, her IVs were never checked. I have her with glacies and res refined light breath+. I like Light Breath on her for TT, she doesn't get to attack much, but when she does, she and most of the team get a nice stat buff.
- Vantage seal... that does sound disastrous.
- Cute art! I kinda wanna fill it out now. I don't know which units to pick though, I don't really have a set of 'mains'. I have +10 Nino, but Inigo and Julia probably see more use. I rotate my healers depending on who has the lowest HM. lol.
- Finished up all the GHB flier quests. NY Camillia and her tankiness were actually key to victory. mine is -spd +res, so I gave her weapons res boost, she's actually more useful than I gave her credit for.
i got bridal ninian! and i managed to stick to my goal of no barracks expansion/no dipping below 90 orbs :') helps that i've been leaving the daily orbs with feh; can't be tempted to spend them if they're not available for me to use p: i haven't decided what i want to roll on now, but i think i'm gonna try and stay above 100/110 orbs once the june quests are here. gotta save up for summer frederick merges!! haha
omg, they're all so cute! that morgan almost makes me want to roll blue on the stance banner ;w;
ryoma finally got an alt! legendary lobster is very fancy :0
Ahhh did you guys see the new banner video?! FINALLY Ryoma is getting an alt! Even though it's a weird one, since kinshi knights use lances and bows in their home game, but I'm still not complaining! Also happy for the chance to maybe pull some more New Years Takumi - or a better female Grima, since I've pulled two and they're both +hp/-atk >>
Congrats on finishing up! I see people moaning about Ursula all the time (she was really tough, though). Yeah she is pretty decent, more than I give her credit for. Only problem is Elincia carries Hone which makes her so much more valuable on a flying comp, so she ends up as a reserve. Also Draconic Aura probs isn't the best fit for her, maybe Glimmer would be fun with Slaying Edge.
Not super enthused about the legendary banner tbh. Blue looks decent for armour squads with both Bold Fighter and Armour March/Brazen Atk/Spd (want this for my Elise tbh) up for grabs. Green is interesting too as I still don't have Gunnthrá but not really feeling Winter Chrom hm. Ryoma is cool but definitely don't need another flying sword (other than good IV Caeda, ahem).
I'm feeling the same about the legendary banner, I have all the 3 blue units and 2/3 reds, so I think I'm just going to snipe green and colorless and stop after 1 or 2 focus. I don't even really need Flying Azura anymore now that I have Ninian! I don't have a flying dragon yet so F!Grima would be nice though. Now I think on the last day of the Legendary banner we should get the trailer for that mysterious Four Heroes banner that gets released on June 8th so I might change my mind then.
Legendary Ryoma art is amazing though and they better use that Alight theme they used in the video for his special battle tomorrow!
Hahahaha I am so excited and also heart broken because after pulling Kinshinoka I told myself I’d save for the Ryoma alt, but them promptly spent everything on Ares (who got downed to 4*) and then Bride Ninian (must be close to 300 I’ve spent.)
“There’s no way they’ll make Ryoma a legendary hero before Corrin so it’s okay I can save” I told myself... oops. I currently have 61 orbs and frantically counting where I can get more....
Congrats on your Ninian, she’s a fun unit C:
Yay another pineapple friend C: He’s my favourite Fates character, and my only OG copy has been my team leader forever. I’m sad he gets a lot of hate now, so I am hoping he gets an alt that does him justice in future. I gave my soup Takumi LnD3 because I lack swift sparrow fodder.
Also very excited Ryoma finally got an alt C:
Are you sure you don’t want him? He’s a flying dc unit.... ;)
Also really hoping they add Alight to the music list, I love both the regular version and Ablaze.
oh man ;o; i got my fingers crossed for you! it'd be better if he was in the permanent pool, i think, but at least this way he should be on the next few legendary banners ;w;
and in other news, god, i hope the feh hat isn't bought with orbs. i want to put it on grima. also, tiki refine! i apparently rolled a young tiki at some point (+res/-def?) so... here's to hoping breath of fog is something fun! :3
(re/ voting gauntlet -- and then if/when we lose probably team ike lmao)
