- speaking of 5* locked exp skills... Silque probably wont drop, not with that staff and dazzling. Hoping python drops, bees short bow for things.

Well...it's not one of the new units but it seems for the first free pull on my birthday, the banner scored me Edlegard.

- Congrats! Another banner I failed to get any units from. Maybe one of the 3H guys will show up as a pity breaker someday. At least I got the free Byleth.

- Desire Filter. Is. Real. Got free Catria today from the new banner. After watching the release vid, I deemed this banner skippable. OTL

Ahaha, Catria was the only unit I sort of wanted on the banner and naturally my free summons barely had any reds on them (although I am sorted for Athenas, haha). Congrats on your Catria XD

In other news, I actually beat Abyssal Xander without using a guide, and I have 190(!) orbs in the bank right now. I was hoping to save for LAlm since my only copy is -spd and I wanted to get a merge for him. Although now that I that I think about it, he’s likely going to be sharing with FTiki and I really don’t need another armour unit when I barely use them so we’ll have to see. Last time I tried to pull for him, I got two copies of Caneghis.

- Yeah, she'll be a nice unit for arena bonus. A change from having to use Sharena and Alfonse again OTL. I hope she comes home for you too. She's a nice unit (I got a good IV for her too, +spd - HP) Congrats on beating Xander! I should try to beat him, he's the only abyssal one I haven't beaten yet, his stupid 80 HP and panic ploy have kept me from beating him with my default strategy of Dance Nino Dance. I'm going to save for when Hectorlina comes onto a leg banner OTL. Maybe he will come home then.

And Ticket # 2 brought me Silque. I can't really complain, but desire filter man >.< (bad IV, -att +def, at least healers have a work around for shitty attack in the form of PAAAAIIIIN! lol. She's kind of a tank, 39 Def! That's ridiculous. Her staff seems useful for Rokkr battles, so I'll probably keep her around.)

Congrats on Silque! Yeah I've heard she can be quite a tank, so I hope she works for you C:

Hah... not really sure if I want to pull for Catria at the moment. I have about 230 orbs saved with the intension of getting an Alm, but now they are rerunning the revival banners idk if I should wait and get some more in the bank because I'd like to get another merge or two for Takumi and Ryoma. My ordinary Alm is also -spd, so it'd be nice be pull another copy of get the merge and remove that bane too. And if FEH has taught me anything, it is that I am going to get pity broken by her when I least expect it (see: Tibarn finally showing up on the latest dancer banner)

Also... now I've saved so many I'm kind of... reluctant? to spend them. I've watched some summoning videos lately that have been quite good at keeping my desire to pull low (poor guy got up to 7.5% on the revival banner trying to get an Azura, sucks for him but a great reminder nothing is guaranteed) so I guess we'll see how the new L banner goes, they are my kryptonite.

I wonder who the new legendary is going to be. Popular choice is Celica, but Seliph or Xander would be nice too.

- I'm feeling the same way about my 240 orbs and the halloween banner... I feel like, even though that banner is around for another 2 weeks, that ship has sailed. Man, I would love for Tibarn to show up as a pity breaker for me sometime, instead it's just all sorts of duplicates like Leathe and Young Tiki, and Karla. OTL. Defs feel that guy's pain with the 7.5% pity rate only to end up with some crap you already have. been there, done that, multiple times OTL.

Celica doesn't need another form, Seliph would be nice.
Oh, just saw, it's Leif. Well, him and Seliph are basically the same. lol.

I definitely wasn't expecting Leif! And they updated the Meet the Heroes page with some Thracia heroes. Makes me wonder if the next new heroes is actually going to be new Thracia heroes (leaving FFH for the end of the month right before the new book starts).

And ah... idk. This banner is kind of stacked for me. I was pulling colourless anyway for Alm, but it's super handing that it's where Leif is too... although I am fully expecting to get nothing but FTikis, as the desire sensor is real. Spring Palla is also coming in again, and LRyoma. I would love another merge for LRyoma, and a better IV for Spring Palla (but again I know I would get nothing but Ikes) Maybe I'll pull 100 and see what happens.

- Yeah, colourless looks good. FTiki is p. broken, so getting a bunch of her would not be the end of the world. lol. Also valentine's Ike wouldn't be awful cus DC fodder. I'd love Leg Azura, but I don't need another Leg Lucy, and Marisa is meh. Green is right out, don't need more Lector or Ranulf and don't care about Felecia. I might try to do some colourless summoning, but overall general meh feeling on this b8. Might try for those halloween units again after all...

Hi everyone, long time no see. I'm sorry I disappeared for ages :( We bought a house and moved and real life really took over for a while, and then I was like "I should check in and say hi" and didn't because anxiety.

BUT HI I missed you guys. I have a lot of catching up to do and I won't go into where I've been in Heroes for the past 9 months. BUT I did re-finish Mathilda tonight by getting the last of dragon flowers for her (I'm just as slow at long-term goals as I've always been), so there's a small achievement to share!

[edit] OH ALSO? Shameless plug for my cool wife I guess, she's been doing Inktober this year with a Fire Emblem theme (other than day 1). So here's a link if you want to see fun fanart, including our cat!

Welcome back! You don’t have to be sorry, social anxiety is the worst (I tried to join a fe discord server this weekend, and in my intro post said I’d played Sacred Stones, but amused the abbreviation... got scolded for using it because of historical connotations and I’ve been to embarrassed to go back). Congrats on getting Mathilda complete again, and I hope you had some excellent summoning luck while you were away.

Well. L Banners are my Kryptonite. Spent just over 200 orbs (so much for self control). There is no legendary Alm because desire sensor is real (at least Leif is cool) and it was a wild ride, but I got a pretty incredible final circle which had 4 5* on...! So I got my extra Palla, extra Ryoma, a surprise Felicia and a spare Leif. Time to save again for the Hoshido re-run banner now. Perhaps L Alm will come back in February.

Y'aaaaaaaaall I am orb broke and furious. I had a +4 B!Lucina and B!Ike from pulls along the years and decided to go all in, with their new refines, and +10 both on the Weekly Rerun banner last week; I had about 900 orbs saved and managed to +10 B!Ike with around 200 left in the bank and 2 Lucina to go; managed to get 1 after 100 orbs and then the second... never came. I went through any and every channel for orbs - finished the TT early, cleared some of the Skill Study maps, tied up my monthly quests and... nada. Ended up with a 7% focus rate, which is easily over 200 orbs, yet not enough in the bank to even get pity broke. Happy/sad they're repeating the reruns. Yay because I might finish her. Boo because I'm not ready to be traumatised again. And I also need a Nalaiah for B!Ike and can't decide whether he should be +HP or +Atk (would usually avoid the former like the plague but it does increase his tankiness significantly - decisions!).

Also I'm playing Three Houses! And it's fun! And long! I'm playing Black Eagles and haven't even got to the timeskip yet; I know very little, and haven't even seen anyone's post-skip designs, so am growing impatient and curious.

Boo about brave Lucina, that sucks :C I hope you get her swiftly on her re-reun... I am so impressed you had 900 orbs saved up though, what a feat! I use +def on my BIke for what it's worth and he's incredible with that, it's not one you're looking at but if you have one handy it so worth it - things just ping off him and he's not even merged.

Enjoy Three Houses! I did Blue Lions first and I've just finished Black Eagles. It's quite an emotional rollercoaster.

(On another note, I don't think I am getting anything else for the rest of year - did YOLO pulls on the remaining 30 orbs I had, I now have 3 orbs left but I finally got a second copy of LAlm O/ This one was also -spd, so I've merged him into my original one to get rid of the bane. To say I am ecstatic is an understatement! I didn't think I would be so lucky after last legendary banner but it seems the gatcha Gods were feeling kind today.

- Oh man, I just bought a house and moved last weekend myself. Everything is so hectic right now! No internet, had to download the FEH update at my parent's house :( Like the Flaynn avatar, and the inktobers are cute.

- Welcome to my liiiiife. lol. 7% unresolved pity breakers are Congrats on the Braves though. Ike's refine is strange but also so good. I am also still pre-time skip on my first play of 3H (also Black Eagles). Moving is so busy!

- I got no colourless or blue on my free circle. Summoned red, got free Palla instead. Since that is probably what the result would have been after spending 150 orbs anyway, I'm ok with that, and I'm done with this banner. OTL Getting to high pity rates on the leg banners is pretty fun though. Most I've gotten was 3, but all 3 were dupes (2 of the same unit even) :( Leg banners hate me, honestly trying to remember the last leg banner where I actually got a unit I wanted...

. Thank you for the welcome backs! I did manage to have a LOT of good summoning luck in my absence, which is nice. Highlights include both new Berkuts, Claude, and lots of Brave Alms among other things!

I love Three Houses so much. I did Golden Deer first, then Blue Lions, and then the Silver Snow route of Black Eagles. Will be playing Crimson Flower next and then waiting for the DLC to redo Golden Deer. My own personal tumblr (colorblindtyedye.tumblr.com) is FULL of 3H screaming because I may be a bit obsessed :')

- You did opposite order I am planning on doing! lol Though, I'm actually simultaneously playing Black Eagles and Blue Lions... probably why I'm so far behind! lol. But between moving, and vacations, and costuming... I haven't had much time to play.

Congrats on your Berkuts (so far new Berkut has not come home, but hopefully by the time he does I'll be ready for him!) Forgot to say, I love your Flayn cosplay, and the Inktober doodles. I followed both of you, because I'm loving the 3H stuff (my tumblr is mostly my feh summons and fic notes though!)

Congrats on your Palla though! She is my favourite Surtr killer C:

- You would think... but she is -att T_T. I wish I could give her carrot to someone else, but my only other coloured daggers already have good weapons. Ylgr could maybe make good use of it SE armour + Wary breaker + Sorcery blade could be a fun combo, but blue isn't as useful as red I don't think. The weapon effect is kind of lost on any colourless dagger. I guess Palla could still be helpful for Rival domains/GC, Surturs can be a menace on those maps, and she can ge flier buffs to compensate her low attack.

Ooh, I like the Ylgr idea. Boo that her IV isn't great, but FWIW for a long time I had a -att Palla and it didn't really effect her ability to kill Surtr, I don't think she lost once. She's fast enough to double him every time, and if you refine the carrot to +att and give her attack seal that was normally enough to end him in any circumstance plus quite a few other armours too. She even killed some Tikis with the flier buffs.

- She is now on my default flier team for RD/GC. I don't think I'll get rid of her. I like having at least one copy of all units. Need some desperation fodder for her B slot though. I doubt I'll be using her in AR.
