Sorry to have been quiet recently, been feeling a little ambivalent about Heroes since I've been home. Just feels like I'm... going through the motions with the cycle of events. It probably doesn't help that I have my PS4 in front of me and a fresh copy of Persona 5 which is devouring my gaming time. :K So yeah. Maybe I need a new project? I have 245k feathers after Arena rewards today.

Got El Nino for my free summon on swift Sparrow. Yay, another new 5* to add to my catalogue. She's not got great IVs but she's so cute!

- Have fun with persona!

- Never heard of bowsette

If you got enough to +10 her, Fir's not a bad choice, especially since the Nameless Blade + Wrath combo is potent for nuking.

Congratulations on pega-Nino!

Maybe kinda sorta spent my orb horde getting a Laevateinn as well, but the most important thing for me is that I didn’t spend any RL money to do it. Did also pull another Laegjarn (this ones +att and -hp so better than my original I think). Hopefully the Halloween units don’t include seasonal Oboro.

Trailer for the legendary hero is out soon. I was thinking it might be legendary dragon stone Corrin but a curve ball might be Mikoto or Sumeragi as a foil for GHB Garon. It’s supposed to be a blue one so I don’t think it’ll be Xander or Roy or Hrid.

hold fast, friend. if it helps keep you out of your savings, i did four tries on the rerun (free roll, miracle roll, and then i coughed up 10 orbs to see two more rolls) and didn't see a single green orb. since she's also sharing her focus with inigo, it's not worth the risk, imo. (also i'm team "it should be peachowser"... i haven't seen much of the fan art on my twitter feed -- not even the original peach/bowser thing -- but i think super crown goomba is the cutest!)

have fun with p5! i don't have a system that can play that one, so i just watched a bunch of streamers/let's plays -- it's a neat one! speaking of projects, did you get to finish your soren?

congrats on the nino! i kind of want that one just so i can play with aerobatics, i hope they put that on another unit sometime soon o:

congrats on the rolls!! i've got my fingers crossed i don't want any of the new halloween units either; trying for hrid and a better henry is going to be painful enough o;

Aw Hrid is going to be painful. I sort of low key hope they might give him out for free, but that’s wishful thinking.

Also on a unrelated note, I adopted a pet called Laegjarn! I just really like her design and wanted a tribute pet. I’ll have to think about what I want to do with her.

- Aerobatics is pretty fun especially on mixed team running tactics (my current forging bonds team). Almost makes me want to run her with Gronblade, like regular nino, but I'm probably not going to invest in her, and Giga Excalibur is really good too.

- OMG, demon face halloween oboro would be so much fun though! (I also really hope they give us Hrid for free, or Ylgr, one of the two, We got two free units at the end of book 1, why not at the end of book 2?

Flying Nino is like... number one ruiner of TTs for me. She's such a pest. The super base kits for new units is making autoing a lil stressful.

Congrats on grabbing Laegjarn! I do like her design too, seen her a few times in arena and am like hmmm. She's a tempting pull. And however dumb those A skills are... they are handy, especially as I've always wanted to build a Caeda.

I say I bought it last week and I've already put 40 hours into it lmao. The thrill of being (currently) unemployed. :') I'm really enjoying it though. And Soren still waiting for a good IV to come along. ;o; My Shrewd Strategist will shine one day. I had a look through my Tikis earlier and think my best is probs +Res -HP but most advice tends towards a -Spd. I could get her up to +9 and outfit her while I wait, though.

I have a few Firs but never pulled Wrath (like, at all) despite going pretty deep for a Nephenee before. I like her design a lot, though. I was thinking about Shigure earlier? My Effie project is moving slooow.

Can't go wrong with Shigure. If you really wanna give your opponents a good hassle, slap Firesweep Lance on him with Life and Death and Hit and Run.

- Lol, all the peg knights with Firesweep H&R.

- Still not as bad as Lewyn in that respect IMO.

I have a Firesweep Cordy and love her! She's my . Maybe I could merge her instead hmmm. Only thing is she doesn't really gain much from boosting her defensive stats, so it would be cool to build some bulky fliers as a parallel.

Ah yeah he is gonna be a killer when I start seeing him regularly. Nino has Aerobatics to make things awkward, though.

i figured fjorm was the only free one after not-free gunnthra, but i had my hopes up a little when he made it out of book two alive... but then he went back to nifl (?) while fjorm came with us to askr x;

congrats on laegjarn-the-pet! i keep thinking about an alfonse tribute pet but my next slot is spoken for, so it'll be a while before that happens. nice laegjarn cosplay, too!!

it's good to hear she's as fun to use as she seems! she might not be one of your mains, but it sounds like she'll be a good backup flying mage 8)

fingers crossed you get another reason to roll green, then! i'd say fingers crossed you get a reason to roll red for a better tiki, too, but the red pool isn't anyone's friend :U

[edit] huh, speaking of tiki... she is... so cute. "with everyone!" is a cute skill. her sprite is cute. her art is cute. her voice lines are cute. help

e/ oh wait she's armored. she's??? a better male grima??? huh.

I think Tiki is super cute. She's a curveball but she is quite central to the plot so I like that they're showing some range with the heroes. I did think maybe Sigurd was gonna have his chance but oh well! Her skill set is dumb and she's gonna be broken as can be but what do we expect at this point, huh. New Breath is cool but the defensive ones probs offer more utility.

Yeah, Tiki looks way OP. Didn't we like JUST get another OP Tiki over the summer? Tiki Emblem just got even MORE OP. lol. She is Grima only with triangle advantage over Falchion and BoF/Summerbreath. Dragon Axe when??? lol. Naga isn't even that useful anymore for blue dragons since they can all DC and target Julia/Deirdre's def instead, so unless they can OHKO they f*ked cus neither of them have def. Festival Elincia has the same problem (although, I suppose you could give her dagger to someone with better BST)

In any case, super not looking forward to her in the arena.

Have everything crossed for Hrid as free unt for start of book 3. Or even just an intro banner for book 3. Will also take free Bruno.

And thanks C: still have to do some tweaking but I’m pretty happy with it!

Legendary Tiki I think I can leave. While her art is cute and it’s nice to have someone unexpected, I don’t really use dragons or armours (ironic given my pining for brave Ephraim). She is super broken (off puttingly so) and I’d rather not support that.

It's weird that L!Tiki's speed is so high when she comes with Bold Fighter. I thought she'd be min-maxed with it as a dump stat.

- Allows her to double/not get doubled on enemy phase I suppose, high speed + Fierce Breath makes her good on enemy phase as well. But bold also gives her special trigger bonus, even if she doesn't need the doubling effect. (she so broken)

Got 3* Subaki. Done with this banner now. Too many things I don't want to get in the way of the things I do.

oh god, bruno. i'd take a bruno GHB at this point; he'd at least get more merges then the askran trio :U
i'm reserving judgement on tiki as an arena opponent for now... i'm glad she's not quite min-maxed, hopefully that makes any unfortunate +10s less of a pain to deal with. i haven't managed abyssal tiki's map, but i tried baiting tiki with fred a few times, and she survives with a single HP... the infernal one went down pretty easily though, so i'm feeling ok about it.

also, the free roll on tiki's banner gave me the last reinhardt i needed for my second +10 unit! ✨ and after i put slaying hammer+ back on fred (r.i.p. ardent service), i managed to do the abyssal hector map all by myself! it took like forty minutes of trial and error, but i did it.

watching abyssal hector confront frederick and delete himself was exceptionally satisfying. 8)

(the upcoming voting gauntlet theme is cute, but i don't know who all the fathers and daughters we have are? chrom and lucina, hector and lilina, bartre and fir, and ??? who else is an option) [edit] grima is finally off the legendary banner schedule for november! and december! two new colorless legendaries :0 i hope one's ylgr~

- There's Corrin and Kana or Robin and Morgan, probably those guys are more likely than Arvis and Julia! lol. There's also Laslow and Soleil, Odin and Opheila, and Niles and Nina. I don't blame you for missing all the Fates ones OTL. There's a bunch more I can think of, but we don't have them in the game yet. Really wish we had Altena!

oh lol, it's not even a fates thing, i just completely blanked on everyone after i remembered hector and lilina. (i'm blaming a lack of coffee haha) i am a little embarrassed i remembered bartre and fir before robin and morgan, though! i guess i'm just too used to thinking of male morgan; i haven't seen his counterpart in forever.

but wow, that's more options then i was expecting... i wonder who they'll pick then o: i actually hope it's not morgan, i don't want to be tempted to roll for her ;w;
