Which Anna, is the real question.

Physical, Game Stop pre-order copies are coming with free house pins.

Once you go lunatic you can't go back, so I hope it is there.

You drawing? With tablet? Krita was pretty good when I gave it a shot. Crashes once in a while and buggy conversion to photoshop files though, but it's free.

I may be old fashioned, but Mechwarrior 2's game disk DOUBLED as music CD when you put it in a CD player. I just don't see $100 as a good price point, it's on the high side for me even if it included a figure, which it doesn't. Besides, I prefer the USB drive Europe has, so I'm out of luck anyway.

I have completely abandoned this game for a while, and I came back to being tier 11. It's kind of a strange place. I have had troubles raiding maps that had Sutr before, but now the tables are turned. People are raiding my map with Sutr in a team of 5 and they can't even beat my AI team. I haven't even unlocked additional slots yet, and am still just using 4 members for both raid and defense.

Do the season-bonus units get their bonuses on defense too?

These singer Reinhardt Future Sight Lucina teams are a cancer, and I'm seriously considering building a similar team to make others suffer.

I keep fluctuating between tier 13 and 14, and there's a markedly different difficulty. It seems everyone with fully developed team of legendary units are currently at 14 and above, and that's the cutoff for this season.

Apparently I made it to rank 27489. I think the final day's first defense was a success is why, but I cannot check it now.

I just had a successful defense where I won because my single remaining unit killed one enemy and so they opted to destroy my pots while avoiding her, and then after successfully destroying both pots, they continued to avoid her to the end of Turn 7. What?????

Just encountered my first defense team that has five members, including an Azura and a Veronica. I won anyway, and it was actually easier than some defense that had four members. I think your choice of character might be more important, and an extra defense slot may not be worth it until you have five OP characters. The AI simply is too simple for an extra member to make up for its flaws. Maybe an extra offense slot would be a more effective purchase?

I lost both raids today. You all talk about how you lose from playing in bed, and I didn't listen.

I think the difficulty is starting to become better adjusted as people are filtered into their appropriate tiers. I don't seem to be raiding completely overpowered teams anymore, and my defense is starting to be able to win. Right now the most challenging thing for me is to convert my team from a quickly suicide one to one that lasts. My Eirika always seems to overextend due to being on horseback.

I never successfully defended before, then I logged in yesterday and saw this. I want to think my defense finally got good, but it is more likely that the good players have simply moved above my tier.

I am so glad I spent 0 orbs on Fire and Ice

Loki has been a real valuable counter against that for me.

I don't have good enough units to assemble a strong enough defense to avoid losing 80 lift everyday. Instead I reworked my defense to suicide before anyone can reach the pots. It's been working. Nobody have gotten my pots since, when people used to at least try to get them, at least on this tier.

Miraculously, I somehow managed to complete a raid at tier 11. Currently at 4100 lift, so I guess tomorrow I watch my lift start dropping because I still can't manage to build a capable defense.

This is infuriating, tier 11 continues to put me up against defense teams with better units than I can ever hope to beat or have myself. I would have been suckered into paying to win if it lets you buy units. Fortunately I know I can't afford to gamble.

This is bullshit, as soon as I reach tier 11, the game starts pitching me against impossible teams like Reinhart and Hector with 2 dancers. I don't even have two dancers.

Ended with a meager 3380 lift. Lost 2 units from being careless in the last 2 of 3 raids. Sad.

Well, damn, I am now ranked 4590 thanks to my own impatience. I went for the pot instead of waiting 1 turn despite pretty much finished by turn 4 and lost the unit.

I lost a raid because an enemy Loki retreated, because of course if anyone should do it it should be Loki.

Regarding whether to upgrade aether or defense, at higher tiers, I think defense. Every day you lose lift if your defense is defeated. From what I understand, the pots still only refill 50 a day or something so that the large capacity only gives you an extra 2 or 3 fights at the initial fill. I have not actually done the math though.
