Altina>Duofonse/LLeif>LAlm>WSothis>>>Anything else to me. Altina is especially important since I refuse to spend orbs on legend banners due to my horrible luck of the getting the 1 or 2 desirables per color that I pull (LEphraim, LHector, and HMia PTSD, among other things). Duofonse/LLeif would be new insane units to play around with, LAlm would fix my poor -spd one, and WSothis is DC+SF fodder.

Half the pass cost, so effectively if you wanted an old one, you have to buy the pass, and then buy the old resplendent, coming out to ~$15 for 3 (or 4 if you time the pass to get access to 3 new ones)

As a now f2p (haven't spent a dime since the BK bundle 2 years ago), this pass is objectively the best pack-per-month in terms of what it dishes out. IMO, even if it was just the orbs and the 2 character skins, it is insanely worth it, rivaling the BK bundle which was $5 for one 5* and orbs/etc. The precedence of locking QoL behind a paywall leaves a horrible taste in my mouth though, even if I don't actually care about most of those paywalled mechanics. The only thing I'm sad about missing out on is the triple Summoner Support, I couldn't care less about the orbs/codes/grails/etc that spenders get, spenders do deserve to get more resources. Triple SS on the other hand would make AR offense even easier than before. All in all, the only thing that might get me to cave and buy once is if Eliwood gets a gorgeous Resplendent skin, I refuse to invest in the principle of continuous subscriptions for gachas, so I wouldn't ever renew. I'd gladly pay $10 for a permanent triple SS though, if that was an option.

Sad that we're getting yet another TT horse healer. VFaye would've been a new ideal candidate for me to grail to +10 to complement WCecilia on the other AR season, although it makes sense they wouldn't give something as absurd as a ~179 bst ranged colorless armor for free.

Yeah I don't get why people are confused, most people don't have a meta mindset, it's purely favorites, and seeing as Edel won CYL4, makes sense that she'd be up there.

Voted for FByleth before, but switched to Altina after the midterm results were revealed. A free Astra mythic so I don't have to dump orbs into the hellhole that is Legendary banners would be nice.

Time Rein's Luna proc so it goes off, that should easily destroy infernal Lif, heck it should work even on Abyssal Lif with some drive atk support (for reference, my +10 Rein does just that, with Death Blow3, Sturdy blow2 seal, and Hone Cavalry buff active.

Still putting votes for FByleth I guess, I'd rather see her or Eirika with Edel over Lysithea/Bernadetta, since those 2 are almost guaranteed to be on a 3H banner later regardless. I do wonder if they would've fallen to where Hilda is if they already existed in FEH before the voting. I'd also shamelessly be interested in what insane way a Brave Byleth would be able to top the effects of our current Creator Sword in ridiculousness.

3 tries for last week's heinous AB. Tibarn spawning on the right the first two times made it impossible to deal with him without taking huge chunks of damage. He finally spawned on the left reinforcements for the 3rd attempt, which let me dunk him immediately upon spawning. Galeforce on Surtr and him being paired to a friend's Bowcina made things manageable. Haven't yet had a non-perfect score week yet in AB. 2 tries for this week, since Python caught me off guard on the first attempt, being bulky and fast enough to not die to Eliwood.

Sniped reds for the ticket circles. Free pull: +spd/-atk Ced (no reds on circle, so picked a green) Ticket1: Palla (1 red) Ticket2: Beruka (no reds) Ticket3: 4* Roy and +spd/-hp Shannan (2 reds) Ticket4: Ogma, Raigh, and offbanner +res/-def Fallen Celica (3 reds) Overall, 12 orbs for 3 new 5*s, can't really complain even though no Larcei for her B or C fodders.

I'd trust an in-game VG (hour1 score so no multiplier shenanigans) with a decently large playerbase over polls skewed towards female respondents (which are quite a few of those polls that are cited for Dimitri being that popular). Only things more reliable imo would be a global poll or CYL itself.

Pretty easy skip to me outside of ticket pulls. Red > Green > Blue I'm just grateful they've been putting decent fodder on the recent red units, so I have the chance at the elusive Cain/Hinata/Roy with these tickets. That Panic Smoke fodder is also appealing, but I won't bother chasing 4 unit banners for fodder beyond tickets.

I'd be ecstatic even if it only gave Book1 3-4* units, since the red pool is so horrible I rarely get a chance to pull for Cain/Hinata/Roy for fodder (if the cost went up like the grail shop though, screw that). I'd also love if it allowed select 5* Book1 units too, since that's the only way I'd try to +10 something like Ninian. The stronger later Book1 units would have to be excluded though, like Bike and others.

If it keeps following Arena percentages for tiering up, the top 20% of the current t10 set (~1800 people) should go up 3 tiers again next battle.

Taking just Colorless and Blues I guess, nothing much to write home here for me. Selkie falls into that "Wow this would be a cool mega tank to use, but would really benefit from +10" category for me, so I can't see myself using her much if I did get her. I would've preferred her being infantry though, since being a cavalry unit doesn't help much for her EP kit. NY Eir's weapon is what interests me the most, could potentially feed one copy to my smite bot Eir so she can apply sabotage debuffs in addition to her smite/link/tactics/healing roles

Pretty nasty for me, somewhat like the LAlm LHB long ago, but it still fell to the ol Lynhardt combo; That miracle made things far closer than it would've been.

Taking all colors except for Red in the first circle and bailing. Celica looks pretty strong, so she'll probably be the new top damaging green mage against my playstyle in AR (since I run around with a ~60+ res WCecilia and most other mages hardly scratch her), but in all other ways she's inferior to LAlm just by being colored.

I would lean towards 'No' since I view them mostly as a collection item for the funny costumes, +10ing is just a flex of someone's dedication/love for that character, they don't need to be able to keep up with the meta. With enough investment many would still be able to do work (like most other units in the game) barring the ones with the most unfortunate stat spreads.

The way I do it is pretty similar to yours, what with keeping good IVs for all units, even the garbage units that probably wouldn't get built. After that, I always keep 1 favorited copy of a grail unit in the barracks for use/HM farming, 2 if said unit isn't already 5* (mostly so if I did 5* one to fodder off, I could level it to 40 for the confession thing). Right now I've been maintaining a barrack count of high 500s, with my cap being 660.

ASFox's scorecalc has a Mjolnir scoring function added to it if you wanted to see your potential score. Checking the Mjolnir box allows you to pick whether a Mythic is minor or major to add on the effective score they would gain. For most players, the mythics outside of +0 Peony/Duma/Sothis would not hold a candle to their merged/sp optimized arena core even on their Major weeks. http://www.arcticsilverfox.com/score_calc/

Still haven't used my Peony at all this week, only used teams that had my combat-oriented +3 reposition Eir and the +1 smitebot/link Eir. A dancer offense mythic is very overrated if your tanks are sufficiently powerful. +0 Peony just sits on a backup (163 team instead of 164) team in case double smite isn't enough to position correctly. I'm more interested in whether Triandra would be a Dark mythic to mirror Peony, with that nasty Ruse effect.

Ewan says hi (Gen4 trainee mage, 165-167 bst). I'm of the opinion that IS may or may not grant this new Sothis trainee status as well, possibly making her the first Gen4 trainee armor. Duo Hector is a normal Gen4 armor at 179-181, so I'd expect a trainee to be 182-184 tops pre-merge, with merges granting her the 185 bst bin for scoring purposes.

Hopefully the free unit (from either the upcoming Christmas or NY TTs) is amazing like WCecilia from last year, sitting on more than enough grails to +10 any TT.

Haven't had any problems carting around even the most wheelchair bonus units for my dual core setups (WCecilia+Surtr or Bike+Lancina). Typically I set it up with: Dual Core-2 Eirs-Bonus unit Generally if the bonus can reach high 50s/low 60s hp, I just give them smite, fury2 if their original A is bad, and the Panic Ploy seal. They really don't need to do much else if your tanks are good enough. Some like bonus stat Fjorm can even serve as a 3rd tank.
