Well, its all rng, but I can help but wonder if this banner hasnt been rigged somehow. Usually reds are pretty common imo - very common even. But today there were so many circles without any reds at all, and if there was a red it was mostly a single one. Of course my orbs depleted fast ... so, out of curiosity I did a couple of rerolls, like 10 or something, and it was the same, mostly no reds, often just one red, seldomly more than one. How have your pulls been? Red in abundance or not so much?

Hector has become an obsession - kept grinding up to the last story map, chain challenges and garden missions, pity rate of 3,50 % and 21 orbs first circle got two blues but no hector, 2nd cricle had no blues and a 3* stahl, 7 orbs left, lets yolo, of course there were two blues on the last circle, HECTOR!!! Now I can rest, he is +atk -def btw, fine with that. now I have all brave heroes.

Grinded all the orbs I could get (think I can forget about the legendary banner as most orbs left will be hard to get...) and got a pity rate of 3,75 which was broken by Mia on a circle with no blues. Tried some more and on my fourth pull got +hp-atk Lute. I am officially done with this banner

so, after getting Mia and Ephraim after a 3,75 pity rate I decided later that day to go another round for hector, a 3,50% pity rate was broken by Celica in a blueless circle - fine. Initially I felt that saving for the legendary banner was the way to go but since I accumulated 40 I felt like summoning again for hector. two circles with two blue stones each didnt give me anything. The third circle, and still the initial rate of 3% gave me again two blue stones. The first one was a 3* Cordelia, the second one was NOT Hector but Ishtar, Without a pity rate and 13 orbs left I decide to do a last yolo pull and was greeted by a circle that had no blues. So I picked a red and hoped for reposition and got ANOTHER Celica. Pity rates suck imo, you can get up to 4,75 or higher and nothing good or you get your units at 3%. Btw I now possess a -hp+res and -res+def Celica. Which one should I go for? I am leaning towards +def

You spent much less than what I had spent back in the day - in the end I deleted the game. It wasnt just about the spending that I deleted the game, for me this game is best when its f2p, its some sort of an underdog challenge that makes each achievement rewarding. Lets say you manage to stay in a top arena tier as a f2p player, thats rewarding - the extra rewards can help you further improve you army etc. As p2w it doesnt really make any difference if you a get one more orb for per week or 1k feathers, its not even like a drop in the bucket. It was just about two weeks ago that I started this game again - entirely f2p this time around

so I continued grinding orbs and summoning. After my 4,75 pity rate of yesterday I only needed to reach a pity of 3,75 today. Thats 80 orbs less wasted :). Anyway, got +atk-spd Ephraim, which seems to be a top IV, last stone of the same circle gave me a +res-def Mia.

I started off with 35 orbs - after that I paused and grinded 20 orbs EACH time to do a full pull - as I didnt really care about a specific unit. Overall I managed to get a pity rate of 4,75 which was ultimately broken by a flying nino. To top it all, the fodder that I got was mostly forgetable with MANY 3* units. I feel a little bit devastated about it. Havent picked the free unit yet as I might summon again but I dont really feel like grinding more orbs today. Since I started my account just a couple of weeks ago I rerolled an alt (just in case), although I wouldnt really want to abandon my current account, sort of grew on me, and I wont be able to get 50k on tempest trials for all the rewards (although that remains to be seen)

Despite the news about Cyl2 probably coming out tomorrow - I spent about 100 orbs on the micaiah banner (well, I should still have about 200 orbs left that I can farm). Shigure broke my pity rate of 3,50 or 3,75, next session had no blues so I picked a colorless and got a -atk Sothe. Took a break after that but decided to continue sniping - luckily got her in the end +atk-spd - guess speed wasnt her strong suit to begin with.

supreme luck today - in the morning I got a brave ike +def-spd (not optimal) from weapon refinery banner - the other banner gave me a 3* Hawkeye. Since I had 47 orbs accumulated I thought lets yolo and go for Xander - 3 reds 1 colorless - I picked the colorless and got a +spd -hp Xander WOW! Again not optimal but who cares

todays pull was a 3* laslow - but yesterday I got a 5* Klein - +def -hp I believe, gonna use him for hero merit and fodder him off once I know who to build Any recommendations for brave bow inheritance with the current meta in mind?

So after my summoning luck of today I thought why not give it another go and so I spend 40 orbs only to get +spd-res Karel from the last stone. Now back to the original plan...

in the end I deided to give it another try - 2 reds 3 blues. The first blue that I hit had a +def-Hp Ryoma inside - wow - thats two 5* units in 14 orbs - certainly not gonna pull more and call it quits until the legendary banner

My plan was to wait until the next legendary banner but got bored today and thought I might take a risk at the dancer banner pulled 1 red - 4*sophia - then I hit a blue orb and got a -atk +spd Hardin - stopped after that - not gonna push my luck

Free pull gave me a 4* Barst - more reposition is what I needed

free pull gave me 4* Stahl. Since I started my account just yesterday and was in need of reposition fodder I hit the legendary banner - 137 orbs gave me 2 chrome dupes, 1 +atk ryoma and 1 -atk Lilina. Got 1 selena - better than nothing I guess...
