One of the ones I’m more fond of using is my +10 OG Oboro. Steady Stance 4 on A and SS3 on the seal slot, along with Quick Riposte and Attack Smoke. Along with her effect-refined prf spear, she’s an extremely effective counter to almost every 1-ranged unit not named Brave Eirika. She’s certainly helped out with many a Grand/Legendary/Mythic hero battle!

With the highest number of Orbs I’ve saved up at one time, 432, I was pulling on both the CYL5 banner and the Hero Fest, which I had used my free summon (which was luckily a Henriette! Though unluckily +Spd/-Def) but none of the tickets. Going for everybody except Guinivere since I have her already. Here are the notable pulls: -4* Special Siegbert +HP/-Atk. Bleh but doesn’t hurt pity. -Ranulf +Res/-Def on the Hero Fest banner. Didn’t have him and welcomed with open arms! -Henriette! +Res/-Spd, way better than my original. Huzzah! Unsure of who to give Far Save to, but I’ll think of something. -Brave!Eirika +Def/-Res. My first CYL5 unit, yay! Not a bad boon/bane combo either. -SS!Selena +Spd/-Res. Nice! Didn’t have her yet and she seems cool. Amazing boon/bane as well! -4* Special Normal Minerva +Atk/-HP. Cool! She’s up to +2 now! Original was +Atk as well but I appreciate the thought, RNG. -Sparked Brave!Marianne! Colorless hell is real so I decided to spark her to give myself the option to avoid it if necessary. Plus, I really like her character in Three Houses. -Brave!Eirika +Res/-Spd. Anotha one! Terrible IVs so eventual fodder probably. But delicious fodder at that, no complaining here! -4* Special Shiro +Def/-HP. Double bleh! But no pity harm and it’s funny that the young Fates kings-to-be came on the same day. -Brave!Gatekeeper +Spd/-I forgot. But no worries, because he’s immediately, on the same circle, followed by… -Brave!Gatekeeper +Res/-Doesn’t matter! Holy crap! One after the other wheeeeee! Don’t care too much about the fodder so instant merge! To the +Res one of course. Gotta love mixed tanks. -2nd Sparked Brave!Marth. At last I have them all! Bwahahaha! Overall, that was pretty good! I also still have my free pick for CYL5, maybe using it for PM1’s F2P guides if he’s doing that this year. Otherwise, might go for Eirika since she has the most fodder I don’t have. Wish everyone the best in your summons too!

Oh hey! An attempt to check Fallen Edelgard? Hope it works! XD

Yay Jill! I guess my next most-wanted would be Dheginsea followed by Marcia. Love me some Tellius!

Got a neutral nature Deirdre for my free pull on the weekly banner! My current Deirdre was free too, so that’s hilarious XD Aaaaaall the way back on her debut banner when free pulls were still relatively new. Merged and thankfully got rid of that nasty Res bane.

Beating the first iteration of Michalis’s hardest GHB map with a 4-star Bartre and Eliwood, as well as a 5-star OG Lyn and Male Robin through use of Smite and barely surviving hits. Was the first time a map was intense and I was able to overcome it with tactics (eventually) on my own. Summoning a 5-star Lucina, breaking a 2-year-long “curse” in which I summoned zero Lucinas in any form despite all attempts to do so (Masked Marth notwithstanding). Same with Kinshi!Hinoka and Valentines!Hector. I now have all but Bunny!Lucina, and all forms of Hinoka and Hector. Funny how things turn out sometimes! +10 Masked Marth, my first 5-star +10 unit followed closely by Black Knight. Summoning for Legendary Tiki, except before I even went to the summoning screen I (for fun) closed my eyes and poked a random orb I didn’t even know the color of (I hadn’t memorized the different sounds the various colors made). It was Legendary Tiki! Never before or since have I been that stupefyingly lucky with a single pull. Memorable and happy/sad, the first Hero Fest. I pulled Takumi on my first summon and Azura on my second (should have stopped there incidentally)! Proceeded to spend way more than was necessary trying to get OG!Hector... and did not get him for another year and a half or so. I did get another Takumi, Azura, Young Tiki and Ryoma however, which were all very useful for a long time, but it still remains my biggest spend in one sitting, and I’m not particularly proud of that, but live and learn! Finally, my first time getting to Tier 21 in Arena! I’ve got Legendary Tiki and the team to thank for that. It’s just one more Orb and some feathers, but seeing that crown on Feh... mm, felt good man.

Cool banner! Though question about Leila's weapon: "If unit is within 2 of more than one support partner, swap does not occur." I just checked and units can only support one ally. Does this mean...?

Free pull on last year’s Halloween banner is a -Atk +Def Juice!Kagero! Sad bane but new unit that completes the set 😄 On the other hand... been trying for literally any focus unit on the new Halloween banner and got up to 5.25% before being pity broken by a neutral Yarne... not a bad unit or fodder, but already have him and would have preferred a focus unit. Ah well, I’m still gonna keep chugging away on that one since I want any of them!

Maybe something along the lines of an “undo” function. Like if a finger slips and you accidentally Move and End when you meant to Move and Attack with one unit. Unless a Divine Pulse mechanic is put into place, this would only work when you have units left to move, like items in AA. Also, perhaps a “zoom-out” feature when viewing the Heroes portraits so we can see the whole thing, like with Hardin or other huge Heroes! I play on a tiny screen so it’d be nice :3

Well I HAD about 80 orbs saved up for the eventual CYL3 banner... Alas, I now have 14. Curse my lack of impulse control! But I’m getting better... I think Mythic Banners are my weakness though. Anyways! Good news: I got Caineghis (+Def/-Spd) yay perfect/close to perfect nature and new unit! Also fitting for the Lion King rerelease.

Looks like a great banner! Though with the 4-unit, all-colors “curse.” Creator Sword looks awesome! Wary Fighter? Special Fighter? Whatcha talkin’ bout?

A little bit late, but I finally got to Great Summoner Tier! 😄 All thanks to Legendary Tiki being a 180 BST and bonus unit for that week. I know it's not much, but that extra Orb and superfluous crown feel really nice ❤️

Free pull was a +Atk/-Res Nah! Two tickets and 8 orbs later I got a +Res/-HP Yarne! 8 Orbs for the two units I wanted most? It’s gonna be a good day 😀 Done with the banner, enjoying Forging Bonds, maybe pulling for Charlotte a bit more soon.

So! I finally got Naga after about 140 Orbs, huzzah! +Res/-Def, which is just fine! Didn't touch her Atk or Spd so we're good. Afterwards, I figured I was pretty much done with the Mythic Banner, but since it still has a few days left I thought if I got 20 orbs, why not pull? But I wouldn't go nuts and just accept whatever I got, whether or not it was a focus unit, good fodder, etc., just summon casually. However, I was still faintly hoping for Legendary Tiki, who I've been trying to get for every month she's appeared. My pity rate had been reset from Naga, so it's at 8.00%. For some extra fun, after I pushed the Summon button, I closed my eyes so not only would I not know the colors of the orbs nor their orientation on the screen. Once I was sure the orbs appeared by the music getting quiet, I poked around the screen waiting for the telltale *boop* noise that the orbs give off. I have not memorized the sounds they make, so I had no clue what color the orb I found was. So I hear the boop, and I tap around the lower portion of my screen until I hit the confirm button. But before I do I chuckle to myself and say "Come oooon Tiki!" as if that would ever happen, especially triple-randomly at base odds. I still didn't open my eyes. I hear the Smoke Poof of Hope (tm). I listened for the star count. *Ching, ching, ching, ching, ching* I open my eyes in shock. Sitting on my screen is freaking Legendary Tiki! I believe my reaction was thus: "Hu-WHAAAAT!? Pbthtbthtbtthbthbtt!" There was much arm flailing. Needless to say, I'm overjoyed at the result! She is +Atk/-Spd, which is just fantastic as she doesn't particularly need speed most of the time. I guess she really wanted to see her mom ❤️ So that's my story of completely insane random luck that will likely never reoccur! Perhaps Joshua would approve

Up to 10.50% on the Legendary Banner, pulling for Naga and Tiki! Haven't gotten any focus units thus far... quite discouraging, but the banner is young. Also, got some nice fodder and this happened!

Got myself a Sue (new!) and a Legendary Marth (new!) on the Legendary banner, both of which I wanted. Yay! Also got a Free-Ticket pull Brave Ephraim on the CYL2 banner, so that’s lovely! I have all of them already so I don’t need to fret that much over it. But now of course the question becomes “Who to give Special Fighter to?” All IVs were neither beneficial nor terrible

Dropped 15 orbs and got a +Atk Laegjarn! That fixes up my current one's Defense bane, so +1 Laegjarn it is! Thanks, banner! Think I'll wait to pull on it more, if I do at all. Happy 777th pull topic page! :D

They're all so adorable! Not sure how much I'll pull on this banner, so I certainly am tempted...

Yup! Same for me. It’s probably a “beginning of the week/season” thing.

Pair-Up! - Kind of a shame that it's only for future Legendary Heroes and the new mode, but it's kinda neat. More strategic options being opened makes way for some interesting maps in the future. New Mode! - Sure the 'Scored the same way as Arena!' will miff quite a few people off, but at the very least it's familiar. Plus, you only have to do one match per week. A bit of an odd decision, but way less stressful at least. Aether Resort! - Finally, a cute little place to watch your cute heroes do cute things! I'm interested to see how they may expand upon this mode other than just having the buildings we have now. There was quite a lot of space available, even with the possible maximum of six heroes all at once. Summoning Pool Changes! - Yay demotes! Yay old 5-stars not pity-breaking us instead of new units anymore! I do understand why a bunch of people are upset, but really, I'd rather have newer, generally-better units pity-break me than the possibility of being pity-broken by a metric TON of old units I already have and probably don't care about/have no useful skills and maybe, JUST maybe, get a Hector instead. The odds of that are astronomically small no matter what, so I'm happy with this change. If they come out with new units I want, I want THOSE units, not even a Takumi or something. Pretty sure people don't go into banners expecting to get pity-broken by Hector. Hoping maybe, but not expecting. Would demoting the current old 5-stars and splitting up the whole summoning pool be better? Maybe. Send feedback in a calm, respectable manner if you do at all should you wish to voice your thoughts to IS. As for the version update information that was not in the Feh Channel - Yay more weapon refinements! Those are always exciting and breathe new life into older and more underused units. I can't wait to see what they do!

I don't particularly like Dragalia Lost (did play it, kinda boring game play-wise imo but looks and sounds amazing), but hooray for them! Considering Dragalia Lost is a new IP and uses completely original characters, maybe some familiarity for players who also play Fire Emblem will be welcome!

I gotta say Est. She was one of my least favorite pulls in the entire game, despite me liking her character from Echoes. Plus I’ve always been fond of “Magikarp” units, which Heroes doesn’t really manage to pull off. But one night something possessed me and I decided to “all-in” on Est due to her prf weapon and generally good statline. Swift Sparrow, Defense Ploy, Hit and Run, Glimmer. Since then she has been an absolute monster whenever she’s on my Flier Emblem teams. If it’s not a bulky green unit (and sometimes when it is) it dies. Period. She’s pretty amazing, especially when she has team support.

Took 26 Orbs and all 4 tickets but I got Idunn! She has neutral IVs. Huzzah for boss dragons!

At long long last! It took 2 entire years but I finally got OG!Hinoka! :D On my free pull nonetheless! It’s so weird how I’ve been getting better luck on my free pulls lately rather than on banners where I spend tons of orbs. Still trying to get Splashy Hinoka, up to 4.25 percent after getting pitybroken by Lewyn when the banner first started (not complaining about the Lewyn though! He’s new and I like him!) I think the only character from the original wave I really want is Lucina now. We’ll see how long that takes! XD P.S. Hinoka is +Res/-Speed, so bleh nature but whatevs!

Agreed! I love the art of both Faes. I think my distaste for Raigh comes more from him appearing when I least want him to. Now that I really look at it, the art’s pretty good ^^
