Leave me alone, please. I know the percentages of 5 star pull rates too, stop stating the obvious all the time, please, or I just MIGHT start yelling at you for real. "Are you fucking serious"? When you made an assumption that I was telling you to delete your stuff. I might be harsh towards you, but I'm not an asshat of that magnitude. Italics and cursing imply very strong emotions. As for your luck, math time: As of today (disregarding free orbs from this event and the Ike banner) free orbs from a F2P player I know who has never rolled is of this total: 485 orbs For the sake of simplicity, we shall assume full 5 orb value for each character roll due to weirdness when backing out for focusing on specific character or running out of orbs for a summon session. That's 97 characters. 3% of which is 5 star. Three five stars, Ana. How many do you have? Eirika, Eiphraim, Ike. You just rolled Aqua. You saying you have bad luck is a conclusion that doesn't make sense. 97 characters. And of those, only 3 will have one 5 star. $40 is 75 orbs. 75/5 = 15 characters. 15 x .03 = 0.45 Not even close to one 5 star. You are *lucky* Ana. And expecting a 5 star for $40 is only setting you up for disappointment. This is gacha. And I'm only telling you the harsh reality of math. This isn't to attack you. It's naive to complain about not getting the 5 star you want when you ONLY spend 45 bucks. You keep treating yourself as being attacked by my objective posts. Or did you forget what @MrSmokestacksaid in another thread? Edited April 28, 2017 by shadowofchaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami922 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Decided to use a few orbs on the new banner. The first pull was underwhelming. The second one, though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you listen? And who said I was actually expecting a 5 star? Hoping for one and expecting one are totally different things. And I'm allowed to be disappointed if I don't get one, okay? I consider myself unlucky. Maybe you don't, that's your choice. Let me have mine, and again, stop bothering me. And cursing implies very strong emotions, yes, but not always yelling. Exclamation points imply yelling more than cursing does. Edited April 28, 2017 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonlordsd Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 So, I got another Hector from the focus banner. Good news is, he's +spd -def. So he's definitely the one I'll sacrifice. But the question is, who is worthy of distant counter? Who out of all the heroes should I give this to??!???! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephiel makes great use of Distant Counter imo In general, armored units make the best use of it, but past that it's a bit hard to give proper advice without knowing your team. (Alternatively, you could just raise your current Hector's merge level) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me have mine, and again, stop bothering me. Ana, the numbers say you aren't unlucky with 5 stars. You can't really argue that unless you want to display yourself as naive. Which you have done many times in the FE heroes forum. As for the "yelling" or strong "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE" implications behind your words: You don't get to tell people how to interpret your posts. Moving on: Distant counter is a resource best used for low movement units: aka armors. It gives them an avenue to win from being kited. Their stats don't make up for it if they keep getting chipped from distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did grow up somewhat sheltered. Not going to dispute that. But now you're just exaggerating what I said, I didn't even post that in caps like you just did. But yes, moving on. Armors or other slow tanks would make best use of Distant Counter, I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maymeimai Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Guys, this is too funny LOL I needed a green mage, and even though I really like Nino, I didnt want to spend 20k feathers on her. So I thought "well, if I didnt get Soren I will try the Julia banner when it comes" ... Spoiler She is +hp -def, its okay, I guess, she isnt -atk so I am glad.

From what the Japanese sentences implied... this us strictly for "Pick up" packs. Aka "focus" packs for non-new characters. Aka what you just said.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've got exactly 40 orbs, but I fear it won't be enough. Was considering if I'd break my F2P status for this Banner. But then I realized three of these guys are just Fates Royals. Ha! Now I've come to my senses. Thanks, me. Second pull had nothing of value, but the first pull had two new characters for my collection. Odin and Maria, nice! I voted for Odin, and so I now have 3 of the 13 characters I voted for in the poll. Three left that are currently in the game, but are locked to 5 star rarity so what are you gonna do. Now that I have 198/200 characters, I'd better clean them out with skill inheritance while the double SP event is still going. I might even get some use out of my ludicrous amount of shards too!

Lightchao42 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I got Azura now, hooray. It only took 15 orbs so my wallet is safe (for now). The other ten orbs were spent on 3 star Stahl and Gunter (the first two sets of orbs didn't have any blue orbs, Azura came from the first blue that showed up).

SaMaster14 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I finally pulled Azura!! (And a 5* Roy in the same pull) Now I just reaaaally want Hector from this banner! (And I have a lot of red sword users, but Ryoma would be cool as well!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astellius Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Upon seeing the new banner, with it's 5% chances, I decided to put in the rest of my orbs to see if I couldn't summon the lovely Azura. I was sitting on the about 50 or so orbs. The first summon set had 2 greens and 3 clears, so I thought I would try a green, aiming for Hector. It was Bartre. I also really want Hector, so I went ahead and tried the other green. It was another Bartre. Great... So I exit out and go back in, and there's 1 blue and 4 greens. I click on the blue and summon... Azura! Holy crap! On the first blue of the banner!! I was not expecting such luck. Since I got Azura, I decided to go for the 4 greens in hopes of nabbing a Hector. The first green was Gunter, 3-stars. Oh well, at least it wasn't another Bartre. Then I go for the second green, and... it was Hector! Wtf! With a +Atk -Spd nature! Best summoning session I've ever had! There are two remaining greens, and so I'm like, well, I'll go for them, in the off chance I might finally get Minerva. First one was another Beruka. But then I pull the second one, and it was...! Spoiler Barst. At this point, I'm pretty sure I'm never getting Minerva. Ah well! This was a super good summoning session, and I'm really excited to have both Azura and Hector! No complaints here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinite Dreams Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If it's of any consolation to anyone, I spent some money this past week on orbs (and went a little nuts with it, oops), and I didn't get a 5 star in any of my pulls. I think I bought around 120 orbs or something & also spent all the free ones. I'm cutting myself off for now! No regrets, it's always kinda fun to see who I'm gonna get. I feel slightly disappointed after seeing all these lucky peeps in this thread, but I keep telling myself that the people not pulling anything good are probably not posting as much as the people who are. Fingers crossed I can pull something nice with my free orbs before the banners end! I reeeeeaaaallly want an Azura! Hehehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book Bro Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Damn. Spent about 40 orbs and got absolutely nothing worthwhile. Last week I was nearing 200 orbs. Now I'm at 7. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
