Got brave Lucina today from the Legendary Banner ( only missing Ike of the CYL 1 cast now) with a stockpile of free orbs

May still use any more orbs I get before it goes away, not sure on how my luck will go but wouldn't mind pulling a bunny unit or Marth. Chances are though I'll get a spare of someone >_< -needs to take up SI again with so many 5* spares and no idea who is the best to feed them to or who is just better off merged-

I had 4 red orbs and a colourless, and got Faye, but none of the red ones. -att +spd on Faye, I'll probably get her to 40 for the conversation, but I might fodder her off for her bow, even though she's the only one of her I have. I don't really care for her. I might pull a bit more after we get the september quests.

- Yeah, pretty good amount away from that for any of them. Congrats on your Gunnthra, she's worth having around if only for the legendary buffs and her skill debuffs.

Gave Camilla WoM from Cain that I pulled this morning, that'll be more useful for GC than H&R. I'll put her out for you (and everyone else)

I feel like everyone needs DC. The way the meta of this game is going, it's hard to accomplish anything without it.

- I'd like to join you on those words. Like, maaaaybe for the BHB, which have been relatively easy on infernal, but the legendary battles, I was already going to lengths to beat infernal. Stupid trophy modes for he people who have +10 everyone. I'm happy enough to have two +10 units, but I don't think the Nino-sweep will work for Marth, and Nowi can't beat him either.

- I pulled her on the festival dancer banner, so I'm only missing one from the original set now to (Roy) I agree, it's hard to know who to scrap and who to merge, my barracks are full again. I have a bunch of units to fodder off, but I don't know who to give their skills to, or have too many options and can't narrow it down :(.

I pulled Brave Roy from the banner years ago I think, or I got surprised by him when pulling someone else ( Got Brave Lyn for my freebe) so I guess we are kinda a reversal or eachother there.

Congratulations :D Feh looks so snazzy with her little crown on. I hope it stays for a while. Abyssal... wow, I am just glad that there is not an orb reward. I can't even beat lunatic Marth :'(

Woah - I am not right about a lot of things, but I'm glad Marth gets the alt he deserves.

Agree about F!Grima, she needs a break. Personally I would love to see a Legendary colourless Pineapple but I am heavily biased and there are other characters in the series who need an alt before he gets another one.

Mist needs a perf but I also think they need to look at the 5* pool again (maybe I'm bitter). There are a few units that could do with going down to 4* imo (Leo, Karel, Luke, Rhajat, OG Ephraim, OG Olwen, Mist, Jaffar) ...maybe I'll send some feedback in.

I've settled on my new merge project as OG Roy. I had seven sitting around in my barracks one of which was +att -hp at 4* so I've promoted him and merged the other 5* in to him. Once I've got enough HM, I've give him the Binding Blade refine. He's meant to be quite a good discount dragon slayer and I definitely need one. He was my first 5* pull too and carried me through a lot of the early game... I have a soft spot for him.

i just... don't really like reinforcements. i thought julius' map was kind of fun, it was like a puzzle. same with walhart's battle, where reinforcements depended on what unit you killed. but grima's map isn't fun, especially not like this! i'm so thankful the abyssal maps are just for gold accessories/bragging rights, and i really hope they don't give us abyssal chain challenges.

haha, thanks!! she gets to wear the crown 'till i demote on monday, though i guess i can still look at it in my inventory after that :p and yeah, i'm having a hard time with marth's lunatic map too... i'm going to have to look for solutions later, i don't care about the gold scuba mask but i'd like to try and get the seashell if i can. hopefully one of the f2p youtube people pull through with a guide ;o;

I agree that Abyssal is... a lot. I take it as a point of pride that I've completed everything up until now but these two... might need to take a rain check, huh. I think Marth's map is probs easier. I found Grima a struggle on Infernal, even, and ended up using Lynhardt + two dancers.

My luck with the legendary banner is about par for the course right now, which means it's awful and I hate it. SIGH! I went back to CYL and did summon another CYL Hector though -- and this one is +atk -spd! THEY DO EXIST!!!

I couldn't sleep last night (thanks, brain!) so I randomly decided to build up my LA Eliwood with a build I found online that required a lot of sacrifice on the part of my other armored units So he now has a +Res Slaying Lance with Glacies, Distant Counter, and Bold Fighter, and... for being a neutral TT unit, he is such a beast. I love Eliwood as a character SO much and hate his OG art with a passion, so I'm glad I have my LA unit all built up to be on armor team. Of course, I'm super tired today, but... strong Eliwood!

- Yeah, I hope the f2pers come up with something. I manage to find a Nino sweep guide for infernal. I have no regrets building her up, and her ideal set is super low investment. Abyssal CC... shudders I have beat like two on lunatic. >.< they'll have to do infernal first, so there is that.... OTL. pls no.

- Congrats. Also, nice work on Eliwood. Nice that you had all that fodder too, I wouldn't be able to build that set. I can only dream of having fancy sets like that. I agree with you about OG eliwood's art, his face, just ugh.

- trophy modes to reward all the people who obvs. spend way too much time and money on this game. Apparently FEH has over 400mill US in earnings to date, which is kinda disgusting. But I can't really complain that FE is finally getting some love. Literally the second VG I ever played after pokemon ruby.

While I can't understand whales spending so much money on this game (I'm talking about really insane amounts and people getting in debt for this game!), at the same time I'm thankful that it means they won't stop running it anytime soon! I think I never played a mobile game for that long before. xD

I usually like to finish all content (I say that but I don't bother with Infernal GHBs until a quest requests me to do so haha and I've yet to finish the Chain Challenges!) but I might have to let those Abyssal rewards go. Those reinforcements and stats buffs are ridiculous! I do hope the maps come back every so often though, I wouldn't mind if they came back every time the hero is on a Legendary banner (though I think the first legendary heroes didn't have special maps?) Maybe one day I can finish them... one can dream!

The only reason I had it was from all those +spd Hectors! My old LA Hector served as the distant counter fodder and my new one was the Bold Fighter! I'm really glad we can build Slaying Lance from Killer, since so few units come with a built in Slaying weapon - that helps a lot.

I too have barely been able to do a single one of these on Infernal so I can't even comprehend the new level. I can't begin to imagine what it will take. And I AM someone who does willingly spend real money on the game - though mostly in small, sporadic amounts. $20 here and there, that sort of thing! ...for the most part. But let's not get into that :')

congrats on the hector, and on all the fancy stuff for eliwood!! he's great, i hope we get to merge him further someday.

apparently whales aren't totally free and clear with abyssal. i was looking at the reddit mega thread last night, and i saw a few comments where a person was like "well, i'm a whale/i have (multiple expensive +10 units) and i still can't do it!" ... maybe it's petty but i'm glad no one seems to get the abyssal maps on the first few tries ;p

but! there's two no-SI guides for abyssal out right now, depending on who you've got: marth's abyssal map using camus, veronica, 4* olivia, legendary ike and then grima's abyssal map using walhart, veronica, 4* olivia, legendary ike. pheonixmaster1 did a bunch of f2p-friendly (limited-SI) guides for a bunch of marth's maps too; his abyssal guide uses reinhardt instead of walhart.

i have merged units and non-neutral olivias... i've got my fingers crossed some of these work for me ;w;

ugh me too! I made him +1 immediately but I wish some of these units would be a bit more available! I mean I get that's what makes them special but, sigh!

pm1's abyssal guide worked for me, even with my merged rein! i was worried about him messing with the AI movement but it went fine. meanwhile, i'm trying rein+lyn+two dancers for the first time, for grima's map... his res messes things up, but i think it might work.

yeah, it's a bummer :c sometimes i wish the tempest / ghb was used to debut units before putting them into the summoning pool... hopefully they do more tempests like the last one where the prize is more merges instead of seals.

- Yeah, my +4 +spd 4star Reinhardt ain't doing no one any good on the abyssal maps. And I did see a few abyssals using veronika, but I don't want to summon Veronica as my free unit until I get Eliwood. (or summon Veronica) and I don't want to summon on that banner anymore until I get one of the red units from the leg banner, and I am out of orbs :(

It also make me happy that whales are not able to do it either. I'm glad that they force you to actually think and strategize still.

- Yeah, that's why I can't really complain. As long as I keep myself from being one of those in debt people, it's all good.

No, no more ghb and tempest units cluttering up my box, unless I can get them for free at 5* or they give me a free box upgrade (we are overdue for one!). Although, I still don't know what to do with this Joshua, merge him, or feed him to someone for windsweep. (probably the latter, but who? Maybe Jaffar)

So... kinda confused on the upcoming Combat Manuel's purpose. I see it as a means of "saving"copys of units with good abilitys for someone else to inherate (typo) like Hinata without them taking up space in the Barracks.

However from the description and others are saying on Youtube it sounds more like it's intented to be a space saver in general to be used to bring up a unit whenever you need it.

x_x Can someone give me a idea on what they meen by that and if I'm going about the idea of what I want to do with it wrong and how the latter idea can be used well as I see the fact they can't gain levels or keep their learned skills only useful for modes that scale with level ( Voting Gauntlet, Arena, and maybe Rival Domains)

successfully used rein + lyn + 2 dancers for the first time. dunno how i feel about that.

mm, yeah, a 4* rein probably wouldn't be much help ><; brotel did a guide for abyssal grima for youtube, it used a gravity+ healer instead of veronica. that might be an option for you o: and... how about a compromise -- we get another tempest full of merges, but they're all combat manuals 8) (i just want to +10 my gerome! haha)

you can use combat manuals to save units for fodder, and you can also save them to merge to +10 units. combat manuals don't fight or anything, it's basically just a space-saving feature o:

- I'm all for space-saving features! My barracks are at 325/325. Ugh. The gravity strat works for abyssal too? I used the gravity strat for infernal the first time around. I had to tweak it at the end though, but I might check it out later. I don't think I have anyone with gravity + though, just normal gravity.

September quests tomorrow, I can has orbs again! maybe... I was very depressed the other night cus I spent 100 orbs on the Legendary Banner and got nothing. I even got another 4 red orb summon wheel, and got nothing :( Remind me to never summon right before going to bed again, k?

I'm really excited about the possibilities combat manuals bring... means I can get rid of all of Cains and Abels that I don't quite want to send home incase I need a brave sword, or brave lance, or wings of mercy or something. I also have a few 5* pity breakers from before they cleaned the pool so, I think they're definitely going to go in... I have no desire to train 5* Ogma but the brave sword+ might be helpful one day. I've also tempted to put some of my Navarre/Narcian/Lloyd GHB units I'll never use in there as well. It'll be good to clean up.

I've... spent money on the game and it is easy to see how people can get carried away :X As tempting as it is to try again for L!Marth, or B!Ephraim, I'm trying to draw a line under my summoning now. I've told myself that I need to save my F2P orbs for when they add Kiragi or an alt for Oboro.

As someone who has 675 units (how does it keep going up?) Combat Manuals are going to save my life. I keep such stupid stuff around (though I'm low on Arthurs at the moment? How?) that I can't wait to get rid of all of them. I feel like I'm never going to send anything home again though haha.

I've tried to resist following a guide for the Abyssals but maaan. I've tried a Gravity strat with my Elise but it wasn't coming together. Also Galeforce shenanigans aren't great because Heavy Blade won't proc on such bulky units. Hmmmm. I feel like Celica has potential but 2 move is a bummer and the HP requirements are so strict on Double Lion. Excited for Ragnorak refine, though!

Ended up rank 4 for first round of GCs on a team that kinda dominated. I wasn't around for the last few hours as I was stranded without internet on a paradise island so I'm pretty pleased with my position, all things considered.

Man, can't wait for the Combat Manuals to come out. I finally got around to promoting Marth on the day his legendary banner came out, and I'd like to put the 4 other Marths I have in my barracks on the main one for merging.

Also, I pulled a Gunnthra today. Not Legendary Marth or Love Abounds Hector, but she's not bad. I do hope to pull Legendary Marth next time he's around, though...
