Just pulled the first circle and, while I didn't get any 5*s, did end up with a merge for both my Eirika and Effie merge projects, the latter of which was long overdue. I have like... 235k feathers at the moment so lemme scan their IVs and merge 'em up.

-frusterated- I blew my orbs because the game WANTS me to pick Colorless it seems by giving me summoning stones of almost all colorless which I have everything in colorless ( First stone that was colorless free got me almost all 3 stars)

What should I do when I get more orbs? Cave and likely get a spare in hopes that will make my pulls after get me something I don't have?

I honestly don't think this banner is too hot compared to some of the other offerings we've had. I feel like each colour has at least one 'dud'' so I'd probs just save orbs for whatever is down the line (CYL2 is pretty much certain for August if new Hector, Ephraim, Celica or Veronica interest you).

I feel so lucky because I pulled Ryoma and Lucina in only ~50 orbs! (only downside to this is that I didn't get a lot of fodder... it feels I haven't got a Barst or a Selena for months, I need Reposition! Also I want Caeda merges, but she doesn't want to show up too. xD)

Only legendary heroes I am missing now are Hector and Ephraim, both the Fire ones, thankfully there are always two elements at the same time for arena haha I doubt color bows are that powerful (I never use L!Lyn...) but I'm looking forward to training Lucina and taking advantage of her assist. I love her artwork too!

i would wait and make space in your barracks instead since we're about to get ~15 free rolls with the daily banners starting on thursday, and this more of a so-so legendary banner imo

congrats on your rolls! if lucina's battle is any indication, future vision is going to be fun to mess around with. that infernal battle was no joke o:

ehh, more bent out of shape because the Sumia, Libra, Marebell, and Olivia banner has been giving me just as many 3 star units and I wouldn't mind a holiday unit or legendary I lack even if it's so so.

:/ more feathers to promote Linus I guess if the Greens on both banners want to not cough up 5* ( would pick Janius but I already have a red mage on the next leveling team)

I went through the couple of orbs I have on hand and am shrugging it off now. This banner isn't doing much for me, other than Ishar for skill fodder. I'll casually pull as I get orbs but I'm not cashing into my Feh supply for this one. It's a bit underwhelming!

Cheh. 9.5% pity rate on the leg banner right now. This is definitely an annoyance, eh? Just want Ishtar or Bowcina (or possibly Winter Lissa) and be done with.

Anyways, how is everyone at the moment?

Finally got Ryoma from the legendary banner so I think I'm covered now x_x, yeh not my greatest rolls as of late....at lest I can try the one awakening banner again....or just let my orbs build.

Edit: and he's a hp boon/Res bane, kinda a neutral IV spred I guess

Also ended up with a 5* Gordon this morning, trying to decide weather I should level him ( Def Boon/Spd Bane) or stick with my first one ( a attack boon/spd bane 3*) and just merge the two later.

Not too shabby! I've actually decided I kinda want a copy after facing off against him a few times despite having an Elincia, NY!Camilla and plans to build a Caeda down the line oop.

Also got a... 4* Jagen from my free pull yesterday hm. And today it was a 3* Jagen. Fortify Cavalry for everyone!

I got the Legendary Lucina while casually pulling for Ishtar yesterday. She's got great IVs... I just don't like Lucina as a character I'll hold onto her for a bit until I need more Seift Sparrow for someone else. Legendary banners just always frustrate me. I swear despite the 8%, I pull more 3 stars on then than any other banners.

i lack either version of Ryoma so happy with the legendary

Still decideing what Gordon to keep around and level though :p

Did a few pulls on blue out of impulse and ended up with a L!Lucina! And another Fae, now +8! And a... another NY!Camilla hmmmm. She's +Atk -Spd so I guess I'm just gonna merge her into the other one I didn't want hm. The Lucina Is +Res -Spd which is basically her worst IV but lol, oh well. 8)

Managed to get Libra finally with my free orbs today.

x_x Still wanting advice on what Gordon to keep around but I have a feeling the silence is because he's not a great unit over all or that neither option is great ( both are speed banes)

i did a headcount and i'm one!! one lukas short of a +10!! i mean, i also need feathers, but y'know. i really want to finish morgan, but i haven't rolled any in forever... we'll see who i get enough of first, i guess. oh and now that i'm actually paying attention to grand conquests/rival domains for once -- i'm so glad they're giving us skill sets soon. i hate shuffling frederick's skills between teams, and i want more wings of mercy units for grand conquests...

gordin's the one everyone uses for brave bow+ and three dancers strategies, isn't he? if you want to +10 him you could stick with the +atk one for now until you get one with a boon/bane you like better.

i don't really use archers outside of brave lyn but i did a google and almost all the gamepedia builds for gordin are the same: +atk/-res, brave bow, death blow, threaten defense, and moonbow or bonfire/ignis for the special. there was a build for +def/-spd but it's super high investment (guard bow+ with close counter).

Waiting on merges is the worst tbh. :B It's a shame they ditched 4 - 5* banners but the chance of getting a dud was too high, like, who wants to pull a 5* Barst? It'd be nice to see them reworked with a single, decent focus per colour or something, or just making them 4* focus with 5* pulled from the regular pool. I dunno, something, cos I'm never gonna +10 my Eirika and Effie projects at this rate.

ugh, it really is! hunting for reinhardt and morgan has been agonizing. i've since decided that if i want to +10 anything else, i have to pull all eleven units first -- so if that last lukas doesn't show up any time soon, they're all stuck on the bench. i just don't want to be taunted by a +9 p:

Decided to make one final pull on the legendary banner with free orbs and got Ishtar so I think I'm good on the banner now even though it would have been nice to pull a holiday unit :p

The 5* was a hp+/spd - so yeh, might go with the odd atk+/-spd and merge the two I guess.

How are y'all finding the Grand Conquests this time around? I'm kinda into the changes. Ranking on teams seems... easy peasy, I guess everyone just collects rewards and runs haha. I got top 20 on my first round without really trying and ranked first in the second round with a score just over 200k and a bunch of lances left to burn. Been playing the hardest difficulty which scores higher even if you fail to damage the fort and it's been enjoyable - and occasionally frustrating. I do only play tiles with special effects active though as they make such a difference.

I switched my lead out to Elise for this round with Gravity + Savage Blow 6. I've only had the chance for one battle but she was my MVP! Try her out and lemme know how she works for you!

Thinking about switching L!Ephraim out for a Galeforce build as I've been a little... underwhelmed by him, but also don't have Desperation fodder, still, so might as well wait til then.

Man, Hana hasn't been coming home too much as of recently. Merging her has been pretty hard. She's at +2 right now, and the Life and Death banner should be coming soon, so I hope I get my chance to get a merge or two in around that time.

Finally broke my pity rate on the leg banner, and I got Azura. Oh well.
