- Lol, Jakob was my first pity breaker. I did train him, cus he was my first 5* dagger user, but I haven't used him since. Congrats on beating Takumi on infernal. I may try to tackle that some more this evening when I have more time, but I doubt I'll be able to do it. (I don't have Reinhardt, lots of strats seem to use him :( )
I throw money at subeta occasionally during the weekend bonus sales if I like the bonus items. I usually save the CSC until black friday, and otherwise just buy the monthly challenger.

: I completely agree about the Love Nikki thing. I am so willing to drop 5$ on a cute outfit and a lot of crystals. FE needs to drop their prices and I think people will be more willing to buy. Or offer some kind of loyalty/reward type thing.

I think I might mostly pass on the falchion banner. I would like one, but with all being the same color, the odds of getting who you want is super low. Can't even snipe for it.

I haven't even bothered with the infernal Takumi. I should, but...effort

i don't know leif or nanna or finn so... i guess i can save me orbs?? though seems like a lot of people really wanted leif so i both want him to be good for everyone but also not so good he's the new ayra or whatever haha

if i'm not interested in the spring seasonals i may just start saving my orbs for gerome p: (inb4 spring hero gerome with carrot poleax)

oh, i don't keep virions around much either, i just think he's the better source for seal speed haha and i've been sending my 3* healers home too, but i just realized my girls don't have every stave / assist yet so i'm probably going to start holding onto the fodder until elise gets all the non-5* skills :y

Kinda off topic but NINTENDO DIRECT TOMORROW AAAH! I hope we finally get some info on FE Switch _

I don't know the Thracia characters either, but it's nice they finally got Leif in the game, he was the only lord missing I think! They are said to be released in April only though, so I wonder what the next banner will be. Wouldn't it be a bit too soon for a new spring banner? Last year I think we got them in April...

- I know the thracia characters from Geaneology. I used the shit out of Finn (cus you get him early and I gave him a brave lance) Nanna is just typical troubadour class, only they were allowed to use swords in geaneology, but Geaneology Leif is probably one of the most ridiculous FE units ever, you get him pretty late, and he's so bad, and his level ups are terrible, and you drag him out to every encounter cus you have no limits to how many units you can deploy in that game, and eventually he promotes, and he promotes to this unit called Duke Knight (or Master Knight, depending on which translation you are using), and he can use literally every weapon type at A level upon promotion (including staves and all types of magic), and his stat gains on class up are in the 8-10 range and he just becomes the most OP unit EVER! I've not played Thracia, but I think he also promotes to Duke Knight in Thracia, but it's not nearly as OP as in geaneology.

- Also hoping for some switch FE news! (won't be able to watch the direct though)

- FC me? lol

i was going to say, the spring equinox is soon, so a spring banner's not too out of place? but i forgot that the new banner is this week and not next week, whoops p: actually, this upcoming banner is pretty short, too -- i think it might be another set of permanent additions? we'll see o:

oh man, i hope nanna stays a healer! ;o; first new healer in months... and sheesh, no wonder everyone likes leif, that's nuts. i hope leif isn't the next reinhardt lmao

- In thracia he is typical underwhelming lord. He only really shines in geaneology, and only if you get him high enough level before the final map! lol. They might leave him with the Light Brand though, which would give him distant counter, and potentially an ability like Felecia's plate where it hits lower of def or res (but he'll probably have Blaggi since it's a Thracia banner). I hope they leave Nanna a healer too. Sad no Altena though :( need more Flier Emblem!

Our hopes are dashed, but I joined Team Grima. I keep getting a Frederick with a Hammer and Distant Counter, I wondered if it was you?

Hah! I think I know the MLP game you are talking about, I eventually gave up because the costs and the special offers just got too much for me. I would be interested in hearing a bit more about your RP group, I occaisionally write.

I am trying so hard not to be excited but it's really hard! I've heard about some leaks (won't post here) but really interested in the concept if it's true. (Also really hoping they announce another Echoes, or some of the old games being added to the e-shop (Shadow Dragon or Radiance series please!)

I am up to 30 orbs - not too interested in the Thracia series so I think I'll be okay but it's not until April so I wonder what new characters the new banner is going to bring. Normally I enjoy the Three Hero quests but I am not sure how I am going to get the wins with Serra D:

- Yeah, it's probably the same one. Every day or two they give you a new *deal" that's like 80% off this pony, plus you get some useless ugly decoration you don;'t want, and it'll only cost you 12$ And look look, it's such a good deal right? But it's like.... I could walk into walmart and buy one of the actual toys for less.

Anyway, Fire Emblem, yes, a few years ago a couple of friends and I came up with some characters, and a world and a story, but then two of them went off to college and got too busy to finish working on it, but the two of us that are left still want to do it, and since I recently quit the other RP group I was a part of, I need something new!

!! well now i'm really curious to see what his kit ends up looking like o: i know it's so people don't yell about having no orbs for leif, but having to wait until april feels really mean now... and if he ends up being underwhelming, that's going to be awkward too lmao

aw, i wish my guy had distant counter! kudos to whoever that fancy fred belongs to, but he's not mine -- right now my lead is reinhardt with red tomebreaker ;w;

- Oh, I see you! lol. I have too many friends again, gonna have to delete someone to add you. And lol, yeah Leif could end up being infantry or cavalry, could have light brand and attack wtih magic, could just have a reg. ol sword... who knows! I didn't realize he was that popular though. I'm certainly not going to spend any orbs to try and get him. (I mean, unless they make him a Master Knight and just allowed to learn whatever weapon types he wants, and make his stats look ridiculous)

haha yeah, i meant to add you when i cleared out the inactive people, but i forgot and accepted a bunch of grima people, so when i saw you mention it gain, i looked and booted the person with a 4* lead ;>>

yeah, i don't really get why he's so popular, but i hope he lives up to everyone's expectations o: and i'm hoping that all these new units mean we get fewer alts leading up to the cyl 2 banner p:

[edit] THEY

THEY ADDED MORGAN BOTH MORGANS MY SON IS HERE

als o fancy chrom (who's got a nice hint -- sealed falchion is effective against COLORLESS DRAgONS)

fewfewiogho my dumb no orb having self, getting baited out by fancy ephraim .......... time to break out the stamina pots and claw my way through chain challenge

"I'M BEING HELPFUL!" NO MATT MERCER YOU'RE KILLING ME

edit // GEROME IS THERE TOO GEROME IS THE TEMPEST REWARD INTSYS IS TRYING TO KILL ME

- Lol, I loved the 'I'm Being Helpful!" Shine on Chrom (Hence Forth Shall be referred to as Chrome). I wonder who's gonna be colourless dragon? Maybe Corrin will power creep herself, maybe Veronika will be colourless dragon. (Maybe it's just enemy units?) Maybe Laguz/Taguel?? Ooo that would be fun! I want Grima's Truth Tome cus it synergizes well with rogue dagger! Guess I'll be pulling red for my free pull and hoping for the best. lol. I too am out of orbs. Morgan Blue doesn't have hone fliers, so I don't care. I need to up my flier game but seems like F!Morgan is the least interesting of the bunch.

Aaaaand, Lo! New Flachion to help beat up all dems dragons, cus they went and made dragon emblem too OP with Grima and Myrrh. I totes predicted this.

Geroooooome!!! Excite.

i've been keeping an eye on the gamepress datamine, waiting anxiously to see what gerome's kit is since iOS doesn't have the update yet and that means no rival domains for me ;x; (gerome's artist is meka, who did cain and ike -- i like it! batman looks good, haha. i'm gonna +1 him and build him even if it means starting from the ground up 💪)

according to the datamine, it's specifically "colorless breath" so i'm thinking that means it's a dragonstone...? (maybe colorless tiki? to fit with all the awakening units.) the only other beast units i know are from awakening/fates, and those all used physical strikes, i think. it specifically says “we’re adding a colorless dragon” in the news post p: if it’s the legendary unit, probably corrin, yeah. naga would be neat though, since we have grima. and yeah, f! morgan is only really interesting to me because she's morgan and bc she's the first permanent mage flier. (which... makes my 80 orb summer corrin kind of a bummer lol.) i'm hoping that she gets demoted!

i mostly want m! morgan 'cause i... i want my son lmao. but super chrome would be nice too! i'm guessing grima's going to be the tempest boss, so i'm gonna need all the help i can get lmao. fingers crossed this banner's nice to everyone, since the boys are sharing a color ;>>

[edit] Poleaxe+ Effective against cavalry foes. alright! he's 38 atk / 35 def so i'll probably try +def refine first and see how he does... ah, i'm so excited to get batman!

I thought it might be an Awakening banner, haven't had any new units in quite a while. Kinda sad we aren't getting some of the Shepherds, I'm one of those Sumia, Kellam, Miriel fans and their inclusions feel long overdue. I'm planning to replay Awakening soonish, haven't touched it in a couple of years and I don't really have any other 3DS titles I'm itching to play while I'm away.

The new game modes are pretty fun. I... don't really get the point of Blessed Gardens and all the maps were pretty easy. The biggest problem was deciding which heroes to bless haha. I used infantry squads for water and earth and horse squads for fire and wind (sans Gunnthrá, sob).

The Rival Domains are super disorientating but a unique challenge, I had good fun attempting to decipher the madness. The Infernal map took three attempts to meet the score threshold, had to be quite aggressive to capture their camp and lost a few units in the process. I used my own squad but I like the idea of picking out your friends' units (hope my Cordelia brings some of you luck haha), somehow I'm pals with two +10 Sorens so might bust one out down the line.

Am I the only one weirdo trying to give blessings according to rp? Haha Like I couldn't give Fire to Azura, or Water to Celica... (I want 1 dancer by element though so I had to settle on Wind for Shigure since he is a pegasus knight in Fates xD) I don't know why I do this to myself. I have no idea who I should pick for Red in Water! haha

I only tried Rival Domains in the easiest difficulty this morning, I'll have to tackle the others levels now! My Friend Code is 0980064179 if you want to add me. So far I have a classic built Desperation neutral Linde as my lead, I don't have much fully built interesting units I think but I'll change if you need someone else!

I'll probably pull on the next banner. Getting F!Morgan would make it up for missing Summer Corrin, haha! but it's fine if I get one of the others, I could use a 40% bonus unit for the future TT.

- Poleaxe FTW! I've been waiting! Oooo maybe we get Kana colourless dragon! Kana is cute, I like Kana, design wise, but otherwise another meh fates character.

My game still refuses to download the update :( I don't know why. I want to upgrade Seglinde!!

- lol, hdan't thought about that. I haven't given blessings to anyone yet except Joshua got the first water blessing back before I knew they were a one time deal.

i'm nearly convinced the direct will come before the update hits apple devices lmao

tbh i was very disappointed to see mage flier morgan and then... fancy chrom. i was really hoping we'd get sumia, since she's the only awakening flier missing besides aversa s: (and because it feels like we've been buried under new horses and armors, so some fliers would be. nice) (fingers crossed gunnthra visits you and not me during the next legendary banner, ;w; )

you're not alone~ i was going to give sigurd the wind blessing since i had him and gunnthra supported... but then i rolled deirdre, and now it feels a little weird to pair him off with someone that isn't his wife x: (i thought about setting him aside for a team with ephraim should i get him someday, but uh. blessing him with fire doesn't sound right either lmao)

aw, they'd be cute too! intsys have a lot of options for the colorless dragon, i'm interested to see who they go with ;w; & the update isn't out for apple devices yet :| apple is stalling updates for gachas, i guess? might be a guidelines/lootbox issue. (this might work for you though? it didn't work for me, but it sounds like it's working for other people.)

omg I blessed Sigurd with fire and now I feel bad. ;_; poor guy can't catch a break. That def bonus was too good to pass up though.

I read a post earlier with someone theorising the colourless dragon could be legendary F!Corrin and I'm kinda buying into that. They mentioned her connection to water, and we're due a water hero, as well as colourless being a prime pick for our next legendary hero. And who's gonna sell more copies than Corrin? It seems pretty plausible to me.

ah, i got it to work! turns out i didn't have automatic updates enabled. i guess the app store is just being rude.

it's okay it's uh. holy fire?? very gentle, sigurd's... probably fine haha & i would hope for fewer alts, but she makes sense o: well, if it is another corrin, at least she'll be very pretty! :3
