- lol, it was a towel, not a veil. Tana attacks with pineapples and I need her. Omg. And I really want noire, she has fun skils, but wtf is she wearing? Poor girl. That looks so uncomfortable and even worse than anything they've put her mom in. Innes and Corey are interesting too, I'll probably spend a good amount of orbs on this banner. So.much for saving :(. Im.up.to 130.

WELL I AM TOTALLY FREAKING SCREWED Because I NEED Cordelia like I need air. And I need Innes too because he is My Boy. And I am, at the current moment, 100% out of orbs. Well. I have one. One orb. Good thing I had overtime last week and this week because IntSys has, once again, got me by the proverbial balls.

[edit] Dear god. Noire's art makes me feel uncomfortable. Both physical pain because the way she is bent is just painful and unnatural, and then just... plain ol' uncomfortable. I know they like to stick a lot of these poor girls in T&A poses but this just feels... so inappropriate. Glad I won't need to pull colorless at all for this banner.

- OMG yeah, Noire's art is just terribly cringe worthy. That is NOT the body of a healthy woman! And the impossible broken spine twist in the attack pose (that seems to be a really common thing in heroes). Not to mention that outfit looks so unbearable uncomfortable too. And her boobs are clearly made of silicone. But I love Noire! And I want her! And she has cool skills! (and if I could get Summer Gaius and 'Winter' tharja I could have the whole fam in bathing suits! [Robin can come too] lol) Why did her art have to be so bad :(

Her art literally made my mouth fall open yesterday in disgust/discomfort. Her normal pose, even though she's not terribly twisted, is just... bad. It's just not good art. I looked up her Awakening art just to make sure I wasn't dreaming and I mean, she clearly had cleavage but not... like this. I like Noire as a character (Tharja I'm more iffy about but that's neither here nor there!), but I just don't want that in my game. At all. Other than for maybe possible skill fodder for someone else. Then I am throwing her far, far away.

re/noire's art... like, there's winter tharja, which was just absurd but ultimately whatever, and there's noire, which is (for me) actually uncomfortable to look at lmao. i know it's exaggerated but possible or however people are defending it (and i can twist that way, though obviously not as far since i still have a spine and my shoulders don't like it) but beyond that, it doesn't fit noire so. ¯(ツ)/¯

really the one thing i like about noire's art is that they gave her the BLOOD AND THUNDER angry face for her damaged art. i loved that ;w;

since we still haven't gotten a regular charlotte i'm not super hopeful but maybe someday she'll get put in the regular pool, with art that fits her better s: (also i hate pulling seasonals for fodder so please god, put infantry rush on a permanent unit.)

i'd wait, if you can! this banner runs almost to the end of next month, and we get the legendary banner next week, hector's banner the week after that, and then. summer banner part two.......... it's a lot lmao.

at the very least, i'm going to hold out as long as i can -- i would like tana and innes, but i'm afraid to roll for them only to find out the legendary or someone on the second summer banner is someone i can't live without ;o;

(also i want summer fred merges but to heck with that -- i know damn well i'll only pull gaius. >:0 )

I too appreciated her "BLOOD AND THUNDER" face (and voice -- though the rest of her voice didn't sound QUIIITE like her), but I'm seriously just... disturbed by the art. I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

Also it looks like it's going to be the Summer of a Million Orbs coming up here, yeesh

It was my birthday yesterday so I did a final pull on the Nino banner as I had a 3.75% didn’t get a focus but I did get Cav Eirika which was great! I didn’t have her before. And today I pulled a summer Cordelia in about 30 orbs so I’m happy. Wouldn’t mind getting Tana or Innes but I’m going to wait until the legendary banner is over and the next lot of summer heroes are released before I try again.

Re:Noire that artist seems to like his side profiles. I like her face but over inflated chest (like Rhajat) and awkward battle pose kills it for me. Would have been nice to get ordinary Noire first but never mind.

yeah, noire has her good points but overall she's. kinda egregious haha. hopefully the next summer banner doesn't have an equivalent weird unit p: (or if it does, can it at least be a guy?)

and yep! it looks like august might be just as bad -- i completely forgot about this, but apparently we had the CYL banners last august so we might be seeing the CYL2 banners in a few months? (top 8 male/female, then the winners' special alts.) i'm guessing we'll be seeing reruns for the old summer banners, as well... int$y$ really want$ that $ummer time ca$h

happy belated birthday!! 🎉 and congrats on cordelia and eirika o:

I got Cordellia on my free redeem circle. +def -res, not the best, but +def plays well with her default skills, and her res is pretty garbage anyway. I'm happy with her. She has the best art of the crew IMO. Still want Tana though, but I've only seen ONE red orb in 5 summons :(

- Uuuugh, you make a good point. Hector.... :( I should save for Hector. But Tana has pineapples!! Game why u hate me!
I wish I could trade you Fred pulls for Gaius pulls, cus if I try for Gaius, I'd only end up with Fred. (or Priscilla or Jakob, got all three pulling for Gaius last summer, thankfully can't get Jakob now, but it'd probably just be someone else, like Soothe o legault) I am unlikely to want anyone who will be on the upcoming legendary banner, especially if they don't put Ryouma on it.

- Yeah, her face is good, but the rest of her is just.... not. Her body looks decrepit, like she's dying of some horrible disease. I'm with Jensen, It really doesn't suit Noire. She has her outburts, but for the most part she's pretty shy and modest. Like, they should have put her in a cute little green swim fuku, and given her more slightly embarassed poses like Bunny Lucina.

- Happy Birthday! Congrats on your pulls!

I was doing the paralogues today and you're both right - her face is spot on, but then you look at the body and just... awful. It doesn't match, at all. I'm so disturbed about how bad her body is. I'd honestly say it's some of my least favorite art in the game.

Trying to only pull blues and I was pity broken by Myrrh on a round where I only had greens and reds. s I g h.

Well Noire was a mess in the main game she stems from....I meen her mother IS Tharaja who wasn't exactly mother of the year material so I guess the art fits the vibes.

I ended up with Innes from my free orbs, I lack the normal version of him so I would have been happy with him or Noire. I'll have to check his IVs when I get home though as i'm currently away.

Finally got my Hana merge project going. Gonna be a good long year of pulling, seal upgrading, weapon refining, and getting skills both expensive and cheap on her, but this will be a worthwhile project for me.

Oh boy, I wasn't planning to pull on the summer banner much, but I blew the little orbs I had and got a Summer Cordelia. I was planning to get Noire, but this is a nice pull.

- That sucks :( Sounds like my luck. At least Myrrh is a solid unit. You could have gotten Amelia or Julia. :( GL getting Cordelia! I hope your luck turns around. I'm taking a break from this banner until Hector BHB banner. I've got a 4% pity rate waiting for me when I go back to it later. (I just hope I remember because I'm going to be in Vietnam for the end of the banner!) I hope I have decent wifi access on my trip, I don't want to miss out on all the free daily orbs heading our way over the summer. I need them!

- lol "planning to get Noire." One does not simply 'plan' in a game where the units you get is 99% luck based. I also planned to get Hector from the day the game came out.... we all know how well THAT turned out. OTL. Come home Hector!! Have fun with your Hana Project! I've seen some nasty builds on her. She's really great in a game where she can't possibly miss! lol.

Well, I guess plan is probably egregious for a gacha game. Then again, I was thinking about getting Hardin the other day, and thought that it would be impossible. Guess who I pulled from the Bridal Blessings banner?

Enough bragging out of me, though. I can't plan out which units to pull since luck is a factor in pulling rare units, but I can definitely plan out my unit builds and stock up on the resources necessary to finish them. I hope I do get lucky pulling for some premium fodder units, because it's gonna be a long, expensive road.

- Hector? Bridal Hector? lol. Pls. You can definitely plan for the less rare units, like Hana, have back-up plans while you wait for the right fodder. I planned on pulling Summer Gaius last year, had almost 300 orbs saved up for it, got all of them except Gaius, Gaius came around on legendary banner, and still no summer Gaius. I should build up my normal Gaius though. I don't know what to do with him though now, since my original plan for him kinda got usurped by summoning 3 Jaffars trying to get his summer version. Jaffar plays the trolly passive chip damage role much better.

i'm praying for two hectors so i can keep one and give distant counter to frederick, so i've been telling myself that tana and innes will still be there when hector's banner is gone... but i only need two more morgans for my son to be +10 so their banner is really tempting, haha! fingers crossed you find good wi-fi hotspots on your trip 8)

- That would be a dream. I'd be happy to just get one, even if he's - att + spd. I just want him in my barracks to have and to poke! Thanks, I hope so too. I'm actually thinking of maybe getting a phone plan or something for when I'm over there, just in case!

Yeah, at the least I didn't have a Myrrh yet so I'm trying not to be TOO bummed about it, but of course it's just... not what I wanted :( Last night I was legit pity broken as I approached 5% by a Nephenee. I can't even be excited about more Wrath fodder. I'm giving this banner a break for a few days while I angrily chip away at other things on the game. At least it is around for quite a while.

- Yeah, you've got a month still to pull. Good Luck! I hope you get your Cordelia, she's super cute, has the best art of the bunch IMO. I saw a cute fanart of her sitting on the pony and her pegasus flying behind her biting the tail of the pony. So cute.

-is back home-

Seems my summer Innes is Def boon and Res bane, kinda a neutral stat spreed I guess
