@Zeo @daisy jane So uhhh another Hector banner. No green. Oh well, 1 colourless...could it be? +Def/-Res 5 star Matthew. I had to laugh, considering the banner trailer and it's Valentine's Day. Merged him to the +Atk one to remove his bane at least.

Here: https://www.4gamer.net/games/369/G036904/20200213090/ Rath has really nice art

Here you go

RIP the chance of giving Nils a Solo skill so he could have a flute solo I think it's been a while since we had no red focus units for a New Heroes banner? I'll just use tickets for Leila since that seems like a fun weapon and go blue as backup. Best case I get another dancer a player while worst case, Guard Lance would be nice for Silas/Shiro

@Zeo !!!!! Are you gonna have fun with a certain unit!?!? 😮 Okay unsure who to use my tickets on between the dancer or the dagger unit but Leila looks pretty fun to use. No Harken or Oswin means I can save orbs at least

@Zeo Wow, your nephew's account is blessed! At least you can sort of live vicariously though those summons I wish you Lyn on a free summon on the legendary @SockPuppet I will! Valour's are always nice QoL things!

@SockPuppet wow that's a lot of 5 stars, congrats on the haul and nice-natured Soren! @Landmaster Wow, nice new units! Perfect Igrene, too just pull on the Blazing Wind banner for fodder @Zeo @daisy jane So had some eventful pulls to cheer me up from real life stuff. Yesterday a free ticket gave me a +Spd/-Def Brave Celica, which completes my CYL2 collection in my second account Now? Back to base rate and I get a +HP/-Def Brave Ephraim! I as hoping to fix my +HP/-Atk one but I guess I'll use this one instead and book the other one for fodder. Then on to the Greil's Devoted banner. Any of the greens will do, and Ike is also welcome. Main account's free pull was a +Spd/-Def Valentine Mist! Perfect! Love her art (and a fan of it since Landmaster's video clears), and lately I did feel the need for more Green tome cavaliers. Valour is just icing on the cake. Pulled the other reds in case of Ike since I didn't have him in my main but just a Stahl and Sophia. On the second account, I already had a +HP/-Def Valentine's Ike from last year- let's see if I can get a merge? Green had nothing, and so I opened the other three reds ust in case...and on the last red I got another V!Ike! +HP/-Spd V!Ike lol. Again maybe better as fodder than a merge since boon isn't that great but kind of funny how I got him on the first circle again like last year. Also another +HP Special Fighter fodder on the same day. So much for Wolt savings for next week but still kind of glad from the results.

Finally got a free M!Robin from a banner. +HP/-Atk of course but that's fine since I want Blarraven for PA Shigure (I considered Rinea but her support tome is nice)

Congrats on the fodder, even if they had good IVs lol So I have a feeling Wolt will be in the double seasonal, so I should save. Then the BHB banner happened to have Hector and had 3 green stones. It took the 3rd stone, but I got a neutral Hector! Okay...maybe saving starts a little bit later but I risked it on a feeling and it was worth it

So supppper late but I was on holiday when this map came out originally, so time to remedy that with my clears! but first some super late comments! @mampfoid Oooh nice Velouria debut! Azura being at 1 HP scared me though hehe @Alexmender Flash effect? Doesn't matter when you don't take damage! @Nanima Good thing about the Takus being colourless means you can give them any breaker (well not Bowbreaker for flying Takumi though). Looked like a smooth clear, trees don't matter and Cynthia being flying just sealed the deal. As for the princesses, your OG Sakura still impresses me to this day, and that well timed Miracle was perfect! Bow knights tend to be annoying in these maps. The last clear was also really impressive, Reyson with Hit and Run sure impressed me with his offensive presence while Sakura had a close call with low health in the end. @Landmaster Ohhh Cynthia theme. And Hero Academia music! That's so smart! Watermelon dragon sure had no problem tanking hits. A shame Lucina did pitiful damage but the rest of the team made up for it. As for the newer video (with a Cynthia theme remix), Broadleaf Fan sure looks addicting to play with (even if Elise holds it weird). Nice job of using OG Elise to finish it off with a well timed Miracle! @DLNarshen Nice use of Awakening villain music. Loptuous shows how it should be feared instead of Grima. He hardly took much damage! @Ginko A nice offensive clear, moving up the map with little trouble! @SatsumaFSoysoy Brave to have a mostly red team on this map! Seeing Sophia tank with 0 damage sure was satisfying, and Kagero showed off her refine very well (and just barely lived with 1 HP after tanking). Eirika looks fun with Galeforce, too. @Frosty Bladetomes solve everything! Seeing the destruction from Canas sure was satisfying, and great audio pun. @daisy jane Nukers and fliers sure do make this map easier! ---- Well that was a lot of binge-watching. Now for the actual videos! Firstly is the obligatory Justice Cabal clear! Wanted to do this the most at the time but wasn't in a place to record. Team is neutral Cynthia, +Spd/-HP Owain, +Atk +1 Male Morgan and neutral Gerome Music is Too Honest from Garou: Mark of the Wolves - Justice Cabal to the rescue and rid the imposter Cynthia! Unfortunately, Shadow Cynthia is a bit too speedy, so my Cynthia needed extra stats from Slaying Lance to work in this map. Her Link skills also helped support her team. -Gerome slays horses easily, while Morgan provides debuff support. Morgan also liked being damaged for a Brazen Atk boost to deal with some of the mages. Owain offers Reposition support at first but starts to show his heroic tanking skills later on. A Spur Atk boost was needed so Gerome can KO the nasty bow archer near the end. ---- Now enter the hero squad, complete with Arthur's heroic refine! Team is +Spd/-Res Arthur, neutral Cynthia, +Spd/-HP Owain and +Atk +1 Ophelia Music is No Justice from Fire Emblem Fates -Our heroes have arrived! Featuring the patron of Justice Arthur with his refine, Cynthia and Owain for their Justice Cabal shenanigans and Ophelia who is the Dramatic Heroine. -Cynthia needed the extra stats from Slaying Lance to give an extra push. Iote's Shield so the archer goes a certain way. A little bit sad she was just shy of one-shotting units but good thing Ophelia had a Rally! -Owain needed Sol for self-sustain to keep the right side busy, creating a heroic diversion. He then joins in on the action to the left side, but he needed a Spd boost in Atk/Spd Bond to double the red mage. -Arthur's refine is fun when the hidden stats activate. Fury adds more stats, and Res Wave activates the effects even when he's alone. Lancebreaker makes quick work of the imposter Cynthia. Brazen adds more stats on top of that! -Ophelia was mostly rally support until she was ready to take over Owain's job on handling the healer. Funnily enough, without Savage Blow, the red sw

@Zeo Congrats on the B!Ephraim! Maybe hope for some more Ephraims on the Hero Fest tickets! @daisy jane @Landmaster @Diovani Bressan as for me, I decided to clear the rate in the CYL3 Hero Fest. Really wanted Eliwood to round out the batch in my main account (or just him in general since I voted for him and he has great art/effectiveness against beasts/dragons). Good news is I cleared it. What did I get in my main? +HP/-Atk Brave Hector. The irony is really strong I had to laugh. Eliwood's training partner. Technically a blue Brave unit. But also in the next banner after Eliwood's banner ends. Well he's my 3rd Bector in the account, so I now have a safe Bold Fighter fodder with a terrible nature like that. (Jakob prepare yourself...even if Faye exists) Then I gathered more orbs to do a final pull in the last 10 minute and got a +Spd/-Atk Brave Camilla when there were no blues. Just trained my +Res one this weekend but I guess it's worth merging the -Atk away and wait for other Wrathful Staff fodder. Nothing noteworthy in the new banners except a 3 star +Atk/-Spd Valbar. --- As for my second account, I was at almost nearing 6% so gathered the rest of the story orbs, and finally got +Def/-HP Brave Eliwood! Wooo! So glad to finally get him in one of my accounts. Then on the new banners, I got nothing from the tickets. In the BHB banner though, there were no green/colourless so I picked a blue hoping for Altena/Nailah. Not them, but I got a +Spd/-HP Hinoka! Great surprise, my 4th overall. +Spd sounds nice compared to my current +Atk one...so even is Hone Fliers is nice maybe it's worth merging? Still great to see my favourite Fates royal.

5 star Total 731, all f2p Main account (367, 235 of them are pulled as 5 stars): Second account Ipad (364!, 303 pulled as 5 stars) :

@Zeo Congrats on your 5 stars! Green likes you today. Perfect Rhajat boon, too, but yeah she needs a refine soon (unfortunately she doesn't have Micaiah's Res). Finally new maps means orbs again. Got a Valentia unit for Valentines for my main. It was a +Spd Boey. As for my second, I had 2 red and 1 green (kind of want Conrad for the art). Nino, Hana, and... neutral Zelgius! Now I can fix the Spd bane of my +Atk one 😄

I’ve got 2 extra Karla manuals and i don’t particularly use her much i mean sure Astram works too but grail cost (although to be fair doesn’t matter now since i haven’t foddered his extra copied yet) i guess it depends ok what’s 4th skill barst can use for maximum inheritance (unless i use 4 star Astram for Wrath 2 then use Karla for So Wave nut that just feels wasteful) on topic, i wish Jakob’s -4 debuff also works on enemy phase, too.

@Ginko So proud of the boy Shiro flicking Lif like it was nothing (pitiful damage then just does enough damage to beat him back). Ike tanks things so much, and really rounds out your team with the colour balance. Kaze sure used those buckets well to make Lif cool off his head. @Diovani Bressan Great synergy in your team! Yune's positioning really helped and I laughed at the Cleric being kept busy using restore. @Landmaster Oh great music choice, I forgot about this track. Very fitting on this map. Blue Elise sure tanked hits and dealt a big blow to Edgyfonse. Seeing you deal with those clerics was so satisfying. @SatsumaFSoysoy Oh hey, Noragami OP! (The Oral Cigarettes?) A shame Celica didn't work but nice too see Cordelia's prf in action. The 3x4 turning to 24x4 was amazingly hilarious! How did that happen? Hilda also puts in amazing work when she tries. @Zeo @DLNarshen @mampfoid @daisy jane @Alexmender Had a busy week, so did this late and went for an easy-ish clear. Lif, meet Thrasir's new girl group. Team is +Def/-Spd Thrasir, neutral Soiree Rinea, neutral Fallen Delthea and +Atk/Def Halloween Mia Music is Last Dance from the King of Fighters 2002 - Thrasir teams up with some Witches (or uhhh..witches to be) to deal with her old partner. Had to stretch the theme for Rinea because dancer support helps when using frail mages. Thrasir herself dominates a lot of the map and she is really fun to use. Dragon effectiveness also helps for the stray dragon or two. - Delthea had to time her Brazen-charged Glacies since she barely one shots Lif with the right conditions. If he had the Res boost from the dragon, then Delthea would have failed so that took a few AI manipulation tries to finally give Lif Death and end his suffering. -The Wary Fighter armour was a little bit annoying with Barrier Lance, so both Mia and Rinea had to take a few hits for a bit. Mia needed Steady Stance though because of her bane.

@Zeo Woooo!!! Congrats, really glad you've got them! Have fun using them! On my side..I think I ended up 11% with no Leif. Only a dupe Caineghis on the first day but no other 5 stars after that. It always seems to be the Leif banners. Then I tried hunting for Brave Eliwood, but I didn't want to spend too much of my CC orbs bank. Sadly again, just a rate. At least I got Brave Camilla for my main on the first ticket, which is cool, but I think I should stop myself form hunting from Eliwood and just wait for him to pity break me. Really need to let orbs stockpile up again first

Add Bond skills? and then Blue Flame! so glad Barst has a great refine, Double Wrath is gonna be spicy time to part with a Karla!

Did a final try for an extra Nailah since VG banner was ending. Main had 1 blue and 1 red. Blue was a Gwendolyn (meh) and red was a +Atk/-Spd Tibarn! Awesome catch at base rate, since the last time I touched the banner was a Keaton at base rate. ...Then I should have stopped there (darn the high that you get from being lucky) Decided to focus on mythic to try for Leif again...but all I got was a 10% pity rate... and a lot of Gaiuses and Sestunas.. Then I tried to get a non -Atk Nailah for my second account. Well at least I finally broke the rate with a +Res/-Def Nephenee (much better than my current +Res/-Atk one), but I've been drained gathering orbs to try again (and I was also planning to do a final pull on Mythic or for Eliwood). Well gotta be happy with what you got at least, but still trying to wash the salt from orb waste is tough

@mampfoid woooowwww and you said Legendary/Mythic banners hate you.. @Sock Puppet Wow nice haul and great natures! @Zeo @daisy jane @Landmaster So I wanted to get L!Leif so I sniped on colourless. Obviously the game decides to make that colour rare. Ended up with a Caineghis on both accounts, which is decent. Maybe I can merge the -Def away for one of them. Back to 0 orbs now but I have stratum quests to do. Have to wait for anniversary stuff first, before thinking of going back (or maybe the beast VG banner?) At least I finally got Chad on my other account (+Atk/-Def) and got another Norne on each account after so long (neutral and +Def/-HP)

Interested to see predictions for the Three Houses cast if (aside from the Lords), the students are only allowed 1 version of themselves- would they be Academy or War? Of course this would mean Hubert, Petra, Hilda and Mercedes are out. Maybe spoilers for character development? Just in case... Which version is more likely, or do you want to see? Here is the list of students: Ferdinand - I can see either way but he's more interesting as the War Version because of what happens. Linhardt - Again, I can see either way. Personally I like his War outfit/look better but I guess he has a more interesting FEH-friendly hair style as Academy. He is more well known for sleeping and that comes across more as a student. Caspar - I think War all the way, he has the best War redesigns. He likes fighting and he does more of it in an actual war, plus he has a bit more development during the War Phase and isn't as one-note shounen protagonist, so this would be the best choice. Bernadetta - Academy. Can easily see people going for the 'small and protect'. Personally like her War attitude more though. Dorothea - Academy, the hat is just begging to be a Forging Bonds accessory for the memes. Although again, prefer her War look. Dedue - Academy to go with the rest of the retainers, although having tribal Duscur designs in his War outfit would have been unique. Felix - Academy. His hair is better this way and is a bit of a mess in War lol. Ashe - Academy. Similar to Bernie in being more precious this way, and his design is better in this version anyway. Sylvain - Academy. His looks is more interesting in this version, and he is more known for his antics in this version. Annette - Could go either way, but maybe a little bit more to War due to certain weapon. Said weapon will make her a bit more interesting as a unit. Ingrid - Leaning a little bit more to Academy, I like her ponytail and she'll look more unique to other peg knights with that look. Lorenz - I think War should be the way to go, as it is once again of the most spectacular redesigns (although I guess his Academy is memey enough that I could see them using it). Definitely a rose accessory when he gets introduced. Raphael - He is more well known for the guy whose shirt doesn't fit, so I guess Academy but I personally dig War look so much more. Maybe a button accessory? Ignatz - War look all the way, his academy look just seems a bit too strange. Also glasses accessory! Lysithea - Academy, probably appealing to the small and cute audience. At the very least, I wouldn't mind having her War headdress thing as an accessory. Marianne - Probably Academy, while her War look is so refreshing and has great development...she is more well known for her Academy disposition. Leonie - War look will give the most appeal. Really great design with a nod to her mentor and her hair is so lovely compared to Academy. Cyril - War definitely. Would seem a little bit weird to have a small household child be in battle.

Ooooh congrats! (Also hey fellow Picnic Leo AR user) Yeah this is quality bait banner and I fell for it. I was missing Nailah in my second account, will I get her? 2nd circle in gave me a +Res/-Spd 5 star Thea. At least I didn't have a rate...someone's going to get Vanguard. Then about 50 orbs later I finally got her- +Def/-Atk Nailah. Great fodder nature...but I also want to keep her, too so I'll have to wait for another Nailah sometime lol. Then on my main I got a +HP/-Spd Tibarn after 60 orbs. Felt painful skipping the blues for NCD fodder (already have a neutral Nailah) but I want to get Keaton since he is rarely on banners. After getting the Tibarn, the very next circle with a reset rate had 1 red orb and....it's a +HP/-Def Keaton! Well..hope I get lucky with L!Leif and maybe Wolt, because so much for my saved stash lol. Also got a +Res/-HP Deirdre while hunting for Sonya earlier in the week, and a +Spd/-Def Brave Roy on his rerun banner.

they should show their hurt art for the CYL banner screen for maximum effect and Claude will be upside down somehow Added a vote for Gilliam and Oswin, the coolest armour knights

Awww, a bit sad Caspar's not there, but Sylvain being in top 9 with Ashe in 10 is neat. Way to go Lysithea, and Marianne being so high is great. Hope Claude can hang on but also torn in wanting different games for the banner. In the meantime I'll just keep voting for characters not in the game yet. Helping out @Zeo with an Edward vote today 🙂 and also giving Miriel and Flavia some votes to highlight their existence.

@Landmaster Legendary Pokemon! Wow, Elise surviving with 1 HP without Miracle sure was a sight to see! Dusk Uchiwa sure is a handy weapon! @DLNarshen You know I was trying to do a Jugdral Tome run, but after seeing your duo clear there was no need. Love the use of the AoE to bypass Sigurd's absurd magic bulk! Good on you for keeping Loptuous as well! @BoaFerox Gotta love some GF fliers, and Edelgard jumping in there as well was neat! Hooray for completing Tana! @Zeo @mampfoid @daisy jane @Ginko @Diovani Bressan @SatsumaFSoysoy @Alexmender @DarkAlf Firstly is some units with..let's just say something in common in their lives. Team is +Atk/-HP Sigurd, +Res/-Atk Flora, neutral Dancer Rinea and neutral New Year Laegjarn Music is Tears from the King of Fighters 1999 -Flora really used every skill in her kit to defeat the archer, using Atk/Res Solo and Def Ploy to offset her -Atk and QR to double. She also needed Laegjarn's Def Tactic and double Distant Guard from Rinea to survive the initial attack. -Sigurd needed Darting Stance to survive the Sapphire Lance flier. Also had to be careful not activating enemy Sigurd's Spd Smoke so he can survive, so I was being cautious with turn order near the end. Meanwhile Rinea had to be a shield for a bit until Sigurd's Miracle disappeared. --- Now for a more traditional clear, this time with Deirdre stepping up after being left out of the banner. Team is +Atk/-HP Sigurd, +Res/-Atk Deirdre, +Res/-Spd Quan and neutral Ethlyn Music is Kouryu (Distant Thought) from Last Blade 2 - Deirdre sure shows her magic tank abilities with DIstant Def, Drive Def support and Distant Guard support to get Lewyn to foolishly attack her instead of the Brave archer. - Quan used the power of double Brazen Atk/Def to double his strengths. If only Sigurd didn't have Miracle...luckily his wife Ethlyn picked up his slack. The Atk boost made sure he can defeat the green dagger and blue wolf tome mage ASAP.

I think her quirk is goofing up words when she’s nervous like her summon quote
