Maaaaan, I want that Ophelia. Good thing I got to save orbs from the good luck in the Vero/Embla banner. Hey, you can steal Friends' Units now! If anyone wants my Micaiah feel free to take her! Nice with the free 4* Special Pull every week. Will help with merge projects. Oh, and I'm liking Book 7. Seior looks like a great freebie unit.

Duo Laegjarn + 3 Dancers worked for me up to Infernal. Don't think I will bother with Abyssal.

Original plan: Snipe red until spark hoping to get Veronica and Embla in the process. What actually happened: Veronica on free pull, then two pulls later I get Embla. Done with the banner.

So like an old-school Lord promotion? I am fully in approval of such a move.

I just don't think there's any way to "fix" the Askr trio without heavily bending the rules. It's possible to make them good, but the amount of investment you have to put on them is crazy high, and the whole "but I could invest on better units for better results" argument is a problem that will always be there. Releasing them as a Legendary unit worked for Veronica because OG Vero was never playable, but releasing Legendary Alfonse won't make OG Alfonse problems go away. It feels the only way to make them good on their own right is to re-refine their weapons, which I really don't see happening. At the very least, I feel they should let you get them as Grail units so they have access to the All Stats +4 from the merges. I honestly don't think there's any excuse for not having that by now. Although part of me kinda likes the challenge of using them for BHB quests without any investment.

I still do it. I just do well enough not to drop tiers but I hardly care about making optimized teams. For the most part I just let Autocreate make my teams. I don’t think I have bothered to look at my defense teams in over a year, outside of maybe switching a couple of units. Only mode I don’t care for is Summoner Duels. I’m still missing most of the fixed rewards there.

Good thing I skipped the Arval banner because I kinda want all of these characters. Pretty sure Fjorm x Laegjarn was a very highly requested Duo, though. This was definitely not a random choice.

That's the Love Theme from FE3/12. Considering the scenes it plays in that game, it's actually a very fitting choice for Ascended Eir.

Definitely going for Robin and Eir. Hope I get at least one of the two so I can spark the other. I mean, the remaining playable male characters from Awakening are pretty much equal in terms of importance and popularity, so they could have released any combination of two of Ricken/Gregor/Kellam/Vaike/Laurent and the banner wouldn't have been that much different. People were likely going to complain/celebrate regardless. Also, I think with Phila, every Awakening waifu is in the game in some form. And I've said it before, and I'll say it until the very end. Kellam needs to be added to the game by simply adding him to your barracks as a 4*. No notice, no banner, no announcement, nothing. You start the game and he's there. That's it. And his first castle quote is that he says he's been there the whole time. Then he's added to the Grail Units in the next update.

Btw, the seals this time are Odd Spd Wave and Null Follow-Up.

I played Mario Kart Tour for a couple of months and while the actual game was fun (Time Attack Mario Kart is something I hope they include in the next console game), the gacha system in it was AWFUL. So glad they're taking it out because I feel that game would make a lot more money by simply letting you buy characters and outfits directly.

I'm honestly really excited about this. I like the concept a lot. Game looks visually outstanding, being the most colorful entry in the series. Character design is okay outside of a couple of characters, but I like it. Game comes out on the day after my Birthday so this will be a perfect present from me to me. I probably won't talk about the game here, but I sincerely hope the game is good and you people enjoy it.

They’re the same person, yes. But still different characters. The concept of one person being used to portray two different characters is nothing new, which includes the concept of two characters being the same person at different points in time. Mario and Baby Mario are the same person but different characters. Same with Link and Young Link in OoT. Because that’s what the people handling the characters considers them to be, and Small Tiki and Big Tiki are no different in that aspect.

Character Trailer:

Looks like Chill Def/Res 3 is our first Tier 4 B skill. And yeah, inheritable Canto Sword. That's just scary.

I honestly wish they would not have placed Edelgard Vs. Micaiah on Round 1, I wanted the final to be them. But hey, Micaiah won, can't complain about that. Based on Twitter comments looks like the other winners were Dimitri, Seth and Thorr.

Askr looks great, but I'll probably skip him since I'm down on orbs and after the last three banners I'm not in the mood to spend more. At least I'll wait until I see the next banner.

Eh, okay banner. Est was expected I'm glad about Kamui and Atlas. Ymir is good too. Nooot sure how I feel about Lords getting Ascended variants. On one hand, it means another potential Micaiah, but on the other hand, it means another potential Micaiah. Do people seriously do this? I know there's people that have gotten every character to 8,000 HM, but it's such a grindy process that I can't even fathom why would you "Just do it and get rid of them" for a character you don't even like.

I mean it doesn't really, because there's nothing in Summer Micaiah and Elincia's dialogue that indicates they're the same people from the Hoshidan Summer event. The Halloween TT with Mia, Dorcas and "Marth" and the Harmonized Duo of Mia and "Marth" definitely feels more like an exception since they intentionally wrote it that way. Almost every other event that references or features multiple versions of a character treats them as different people.

They're referring to the fact that they (Micaiah and Elincia) barely got to interact in Radiant Dawn, not in previous events in FEH. It has been heavily established by now that every version of a character summoned to Askr is a different one from previous versions and therefore no memories after being summoned are shared between versions of the same character, which means Summer Elincia & Micaiah don't know what Hoshidan Elincia & Micaiah did (because they're technically different people). Heck, the last Forging Bonds made a huge deal on how the Retainers have to deal with tons of different versions of their respective Lords.

If that counts, then Veronica is Harmonic Lead and Duo Backpack.
