  1. Dancer see food, dancer eat food. Not the first time I've run Speedigan, but I imagine current technology makes it slightly less of a meme than before.
  2. Stupid decisions involving a seasonal spark made me impulsively buy Feh Pass earlier in the month. Decided to cash in on the Emblem Marth hype, and ended up with two of him plus an Asc!Sonya, resulting in... this. Even when I'm ostensibly on break from the game, I can't bring myself to neglect my favorites.
  3. Hey, I'm right there with you. I'm planning to finish off the sparks on the Rearmed banner to grab the dancers from it, just for the sake of finishing what I started. But between all the new powercreep and this last kick below the belt, that's probably as far as I go outside of occasionally popping in for main story updates. And maybe grabbing the inevitable Rearmed/Ascended/Attuned/whatever Mirabilis. (If there isn't a new Mirabilis purely on the grounds of "because she's the sleepyhead, lol", I will actually uninstall the game.)
  4. This actually would've of edged me towards quitting if the powercreep hadn't already. This was pretty much the only thing I was looking forward to. Every time a weapon has been shared among units, they've always shared the refine too. Olwen doesn't have a refine despite desperately needing it due to sharing Dire Thunder with Reinhardt whom IntSys desperately wants to leave alone, and Raven and Linus only have split refines because Linus wasn't even in the game when Raven received his -- there's been literally zero precedent for splitting refine recipients until now. They started it just to screw over Phina.
  5. The magic of hotlinking means you can always outsource. (https://www.geekalerts.com/captain-picard-facepalm-bust/) And yeah, this sums up my thoughts perfectly. This is both the baitiest banner since Fallen Heroes were conceptualized and the most frustrating implementation of a banner for SoV fans ever. If I hadn't already stopped playing seriously, this would've been the tipping point. And man, am I happy I stopped spending on FEH now. An arcane weapon and two dancers all separate characters on the same banner? And unless Mirabilis falls asleep mid-TT story (which is likely), there's going to be another dancer within a month or two. My wallet would be screaming bloody murder at me.
  6. She has not been in the game for a year and already has a Legendary alt. This is all but confirmation that we're never getting a Gauntlet weapon. Dragon Blast doesn't even do any blasting. ...Well, if I had any doubts that Freyr last month was a sign that they're running out of ideas, I wouldn't anymore. Yeah, this one doesn't impress me. The only new thing is that she's a dragon with a brave weapon; something we've never had before, but also something we've been able to spoof ever since Bridal Catria. I honestly find her Atk/Spd Pledge more interesting.
  7. ...Okay, I need to say it. I'm starting to consider quitting this game. I've been less active lately more due to laziness than anything, but the addition of terrain effects on command may have pushed me over the line from "laziness" to "actively winding down". The powercreep in this game is goddamn insane, and it's reached the point where I can load up my favorite units with all the state-of-the-art skills only to have them still swatted like flies by whatever comes from the very next banner. Lately it feels like powercreep in this game is less about numbers we can comprehend and more about loading units with so many skills that people don't or can't read them all, and it just feels bad. I'm a meticulous and stubborn motherfucker when it comes to math and strategy, but I've found my will tested trying to keep track of all the stuff that can be on just one unit these days, nevermind any nearby supports and now the terrain too. It eventually just boils down to "just throw something that looks good at the enemy and hope it works", and that just isn't fun nor is it what I signed up for. For a sense of scale, I very rarely quit a game I haven't finished, not even a gacha (because, again, stubborn motherfucker), so the fact that I'm considering it now means there's a serious problem. As for what "winding down" entails, I'm probably not going to bother maintaining my Arena tier (Aether Raids is fine because staying in T21 there is no effort whatsoever) and likely won't be doing the Legendary/Mythic or Limited Hero Battles anymore. I'm mostly just hanging on for the sake of gathering Orbs for favorites and seeing how the story ends. It's been a long and interesting journey, but I think I've had my fill. e: ...Wow, it's some delicious irony for this to be the post that raises my rank to "Contributor".
  8. Hi, hello, I still exist. Things got interesting with my phone when I finally found time to do this, so sorry for the scuffed recording. This strat almost didn't work. The Green Mage kept going right instead of left pursuing Neph instead of Larum... until I changed the team slot order. Why this is a deciding factor in AI movement, I will never understand.
  9. Fans of the series will understand why the music fits. I'm in the middle of playing other games right now and wanted this done quickly, so here's something a little different. I noticed a video of someone doing an OTK with Lene, and realized I could probably do the same with Silvia. She delivered after I learned that the ancient Hone Def seal would give Silvia enough Def to survive while also tricking the Green Bow into not rallying. Alas, it's not quite an all-Dancer clear. Maybe there will be a Bonus Doubler-granting Dancer in the future...
  10. I have taken up FGO, and I think FEH has responded by getting desperate to hold my interest - by giving me three free 5* summons in a row (Kiria, Ascended Tiki, Summer Ashe). ...It's going to have to try harder than that, as I was already only signing in for dailies and major updates as it is.
  11. Double Special Heroes (June): #2: Duo!Elise #4: Duo!Elise #22: Duo!Elise #28: Duo!Elise #31: S!Triandra Spark: S!Triandra #66: Duo!Elise #78: Duo!Elise In case the Spark didn't make it obvious, Duo!Elise is not who I want copies of. (For the curious, Duo!Elise could be merged to +6 in around 500 orbs since I sparked her original banner.)
  12. Woof, this one sure fell flat for me. Lull 4 seemed interesting at first, until I re-read it and realized it wasn't a buff flipper, so it ends up being more of a sidegrade to the DR and Trace B slots. Brash Assault 4 on the other hand is powerful, if a bit lacking in PP-only units that can really put it to use-- ...Oh. Anyway, not pulling. Which means my Orb stash is now devoted to snagging some Spring Triandra copies since I missed out before.
  13. New Heroes & Mythic Heiðr: #5: Rennac (+Atk/-Res) (1 Summon Charge) #6: Brave Ike (4★ Special) (+HP/-Def) #7: Dorothy (4★) (+HP/-Res) #20: Brave Marth (+Def/-HP) (2 Summon Charges) Spark: Ascended Fir (Neutral) #41: Letizia (+Def/-HP) (3 Summon Charges!) #50: Heiðr (+Def/-Atk) Pity Rate: 3.00% (52 Pulls) Orbs spent: 191 I said I wasn't gonna go hard on this banner, but Heiðr twisted my arm because I was a hairsbreadth away from a full Summon Charge, had a pity rate, and Green is the easiest to get 5★'s from.
  14. Keep in mind that the next round of stat inflation also coincides with an increase in Dragonflower caps, so Dorothy will have her cap increased from 5 to 10 almost immediately. In retrospect, had she been only one month before CYL7, it might've been the best time possible for her to be added.
  15. Good lord, I typed up a crack theory just yesterday about Heiðr being our soul-child, despite Kvasir, Seiðr and Gullveig being more likely candidates even with the confirmation that they're all the same person. Though it wasn't a flawless theory, as it involved Gullveig wanting Heiðr dead due to our soul-child being a spanner in the works, rather than the situation we have now where 90% of Gullveig's plan hinges on Heiðr's existence.
