Well, with getting Duo!Alm and having a rather unique refine, my unused feathers got burnt in quick fashion to make a dedicated Tactics team for AA, centered around L!Azura, joined by Duo!Alm, Bladetome S!Catria and the last proud member...
Spoiler
I was considering giving him DC instead of Sturdy Impact, but since I can't have both, Ill just use doubling-negation, to end it on the enemy phase if he doesn't end it on initiation.
Now waiting for Soleil's refine.

Looking at my feather count going up without use for so long, I thought to myself, "what unit could I +10 that isn't on the list, yet?". The answer isn't too enticing
Abel / Azama / Boey / Donnel / Jakob / Legault / Libra / Raigh / Stahl / Sully / Virion if I looked correctly, and I feel at least half of them are on Serenes Forest (Like Azama, we all know who has a +10 Azama here. Donnel and Libra as being prominent F2P AR tanks is also kinda dubious. And Virion should have a +10 by now, after his recent PRF buff). Had the idea of making Clarine, just for being one of my first cav healers I used extensively in the game, but someone else had a stronger bias.
So now I'm wondering if any of those are worth the feathers or if I should just randomly +10 favorite units, even if I don't use them (like my Lyon). Soleil and Laslow would come to mind. And since one of them is getting a refine soon, I'll wait until then to decide, but I still feel the listed heroes are partially already +10 by someone here.

. . .holy shit your attitude.
I can understand being disappointed because you didn't get something you wanted. But your reaction to it extends far beyond that (as in, you're toeing the line for a warn). I just happened to see that post, hence why I commented on it.
If you think this is a reasonable reaction for not getting the freebie you want, seriously rethink your priorities in life. FEH is a game, it's not asking for custody of your kids.
Figured you'd pull that card. Fine, I concede.
Thank you FEH for the free 5*. 1k feathers is going to be quite useful for my next +10 project (I have a few in mind) and I'm looking forward to all the other announced gifts coming along my way. Who knows, maybe I'll pull some real bangers on the way to more merge copies for my +10 Myrrh project.

. . .was the rest of that really necessary? Because if the answer is "yes" in your mind, it's time to take a long break from Heroes (and video games in general). I don't expect you to be thrilled about every pull, but complaining about "trash" when it's free is worrying.
I fail to see how this is particularly surprising or worrisome. Don't worry, my more explicit rant is pretty much done with my previous post. I am surprised, however, how me, standing in line like every other user with open hands, while Fehnix flies by and drops a diamond in each of my neighbor's hands, but dung into mine, is - in your opinion - in any way a surprise/cause of worry when I react the way I did in my post. I understand that you, as a moderator, would like to keep outrage in check, and as I said, its pretty much done from my part, but me having to take a long break from video games because of that? If anything, I should play more video games outside of mobile gaming, which I will in March. Just because it's free doesn't exempt it from being hugely flawed and can still make it worthy of a critique or rant. We could also discuss in length what comment is or isn't necessary in this topic, but let's not waste our time with it. Sigrun is dead, bad rng gift, moving on.
-
Ffs, why did they have to make this seasonal unit a stupid random one again, just to repeat the torment I felt last year. After Summer Leo comes Bride Sigrun, worthless junk I couldn't care less about (TT Sigrun is already there, so I can't even care about the character). Oh, but she has +Att! Wow! F... off IS, Fehnix and Sigrun! Sent her home, no lvl 40 conversation, no dragon flowers, no HM, no skill Inheritance (it's junk anyways), just go away. I'm sick of this random trash I don't care about. Only 2 reds were trash out of all the red options, and I wanted to pull green on a greenless circle (of course). So obviously I get the worst, once again.
God I hate these anniversaries in FEH. Now off to get another bad popular vote in the gauntles and pull nothing when Myrrh comes back in her BHB banner.
I sincerely hope other people got something they care about with this rng nonsense.

Sooo 2020, you gonna be different than the last years or do you want to fall back to old habits of giving me plenty 5* that I'm not anticipating? Coz you gave me Anna (and a nice NY!Gunnthra for a possible, future debuff team), but you also gave me two Larceis with tickets on a banner I didn't care for, making it officially easier to get the new shiny unit instead of ANY Caeda copy I'm aiming for.... come oooooon, I just want Fortify Fliers 😧
-
Welp, there it is. Today marked my last summons and I did end with a 5* on my very last possible pull, so I am quite satisfied to end it there. I've started taking notes on my summons this year to analyze my luck that I perceived as plentiful, but aimless. In other words, I always knew I was quite lucky with the quantity of pulls, but I felt some lingering disappointment in the units by often being units I didn't aim for. Obviously, one can pull benefits from surprises or find a use later down the line, but I was curious and so I present to you all my entire list of pulls from this year with all the free orbs I could muster from the same year (I started with less than 5 and ended with exactly 0 at the moment of writing this). The units with and underline are units I specifically aimed at to get with the spent orbs.
SpoilerW!Eirika - My first goal of the year. I like Eirika, so getting all her versions will always, at the very least, be attempted. She is a fine unit, not necessary at all, but having a healer armor is unique enough that Im glad I got her after a bit of a wasting
NY!Camilla - (foddered to Leanne) Free pull, no complaints. Unfortunately, had to sac her for Ward Flier, because Shigure just wouldn't come and I needed Ward Fliers for AR defense. Now I have a couple of Shigures and regret it a bit, though it ain't too big of an issue.
Eldigan - Absolute trash, catching dust as we speak.
Swordhardt - (merged) I got three copies of this dude, didn't want a single one of him.
NY!Laevatein - Full circle on this banner gave me my favorite character of the bunch. Can't complain and still an interesting and useable staff.
L!Hector - Finally a Hector and therefore emergency DC fodder. Became part of one of my main armor teams in the end. Absolutely fine to have.
Fjorm - (foddered to Est) Fjorm is part of F2P video clears, can't be merged I fodder off all dupes. Att/Def Bond wasn't easily available yet, but helped my Est tremendously, soooo... she is gone.
2 x Summer!Camilla (1 foddered for Flying Formation) Again, needed for AR before S!Loki was a thing. Can't remember who got it. Probably Aversa. The other one is a good unit, helps one of my Flier teams pretty well.2 x Flying Nino - One is catching dust. Thought about using Aerobatics somewhere, haven't found a spot yet. Should probably just merge her with the other one, who is a good unit on another flying team.
Helbindi - Catches dust until someone needs Green Duel Infantry, probably never, but who knows.
S!Linde - Nice bonus from the Legendary banner. Kippu's art is true eye candy for me, so I'll gladly have her. Also pretty unique unit type, might give her Lilina's weapon at some point if I can make a debuff Horse team with a future Gunnthra.
2 x Leanne - Aimed for Tibarn, got her twice instead. Initially disappointed, I'm glad I got her for both Light and Anima seasons. She is a pretty neat unit, as well as her brother.
Ephraim - Rrandom, utterly useless, catching dust.
Fallen Celica - (foddered to Camilla) Random, super garbage fodder, and not Tibarn. Killed her off to Camilla for Chill Speed on AR. Go away, thx.
Tibarn - Finally a copy, tried him out on AR, didn't suit me in the end, tho. Now he is catching dust until I find a use for him. Truly a shame.
Springs!Sakura - Fine bonus. Haven't foddered her yet, but might improve my +10 Original Sakura at some point.
Mist - (merged) Definitely not the best pull, but I like Mist, so merging away her bane felt surprisingly less awful than expected. I merely shrugged.Lilina - (merged) Free pull, got rid of the flaw of my built one. Fine enough.
Takumi - Good. Wanted a reserve CC unit for whenever I need it. Unused as of yet, but it really doesn't matter. It needs to be there when I need it.
Dishonorable mention not part of my toal: guaranteed free 5* seasonal S!Leo - 3 out of 4 red units were good, and I get Mr. Useless. I hate him so much and want to just kill him out of spite... unfortunately, without a reason (like Fallen Celica's Chill Speed) I just can't, as I do prefer keeping one copy of all units otherwise. I still should just get rid of him.
Julia - (merged) Free pull, got rid of a flaw. Fine by me.
Rhajat - Random, kinda useless, but I like her, so fine again.
Azura - (merged) Random, useless dupe, merged
V!Hector - (foddered to Eirika) Wanted a DC Eirika for my Arena defense, just for fun, so I'm glad he came along.
Ayra - Random, can't remember the banner. Don't like her, really. After being used for Anima quests she started catching dust.
Velouria - YES, I like Velouria, I like her weapon, I like the unit, mainstay in my Astra season AR team. Great to have.Keaton - In the same circle as Velouria if I remember correctly. Like him quite a bit. On the offense he obliterates so much. I ain't gonna invest in his optimal build, but he is great in Arena Assault.
Delthea - Random, but I like her. Not the best asset/flaw (-Spd, +Att) combo, but good for the collection.
Sue - The start of something strange, I needed Lugh for Res up+. Got Sue, fine by me for now. Great fodder unit, good unit in general. No complaints
Sue - (foddered to Aversa) Another one? Sure, made my Aversa score more and give her good support skills for Arena once I got a Laegjarn. Nice.
Ike - Free pull or pitybreaker? Can't remember. Useless unit, catching dust.
B!Celica - Random, but I like the unit more than Fallen Celica. Haven't used her yet, not sure if ever.
Mia - Random, but I like Mia, so welcome to the collection. Catching dust, tho.
ThunderHead Olwen - Not Lugh, became a strong member of one of my horse teams, so it's fine.
Sue - Wtf, third Sue, hmm, ok. Good fodder, but I need Lugh, don't have that many free orbs, ya know.Bike - (foddered) Don't remember where I got him and who I foddered him to. Couldn't be that much of an impact. My Fae for Auto-TT maybe?
Sonya - (merged) Free pull, merged HP flaw away, shrug.
S!Bruno - I wanted Veronica, no greens, got him instead. I kinda like his weapon for a healer, but it's not good enough to be used over the usual candidates. His stats are horrendous and I'm mostly waiting for either 5-skills-at-a-time fodder or when Dazzling 1 gets accessible with a grail unit or something to fodder both off.
Sue...- ok then.... (foddered to Olivia) Another one.... good fodder still, and a good pull for when Summer Helbindi made my Olivia good for Arena.
Selkie - Random off-focus. Not really that great a unit, but I don't mind Selkie, so welcome, I guess.
L!Azura - Nope, didn't go for her on that Legendary banner since I got a great +Spd copy with the 1/4 chance we had next to Duma, Myrrh and Lyn. Blue Duel Flier waiting to be foddered or merge if I decide to +10 her, lol
Sue.... - (foddered to L!Azura) ... give me Lugh, dammit. Foddered her off to L!Azura out of spite and not getting a Lugh in his first banner.
Caineghis - Very good pull, mainstay in my Astra AR team. Really good defense unit. Thumbs up.
Adrift M!Corrin - Random, catching dust, waiting to be foddered for Null-Follow-UpB!Lucina - (foddered )Ticket summon, I think. I believe I merged her or foddered her off for Aether, can't remember, but it was before her refine came along, so whatever I did was premature.
B!Hector - Ticket summon? Can't remember anything about this one's outcome. I think he is the dupe waiting to become Bold Fighter fodder.
Adrift F!Corrin - (foddered to Soren) Hello, unexpected, but you served Soren well with your rally. Made him better for Arena.
B!Lucina - (merged) Another one, if the other one was fodder, this one was merged)
Lugh - FINALLY (foddered to Eir) THANKS FOR COMING BACK RELATIVELY QUICKLY IN ANOTHER BANNER. Made my AR defense way better.
W!Ephraim - Random, don't care, catching dust, even though he is a good unit.
Sue - ... what the hell.... waiting to be foddered.
L!Alm - Wowzer. I remember this one well. Yolo last possible pulls on his first banner. Great unit, everyone knows it and perfect for Allegiance battles.
L!Hector - Wowzer² on the same circle. What a nice bonus to get with Alm, one if not the best cirlce of the year. DC fodder reserve and I can now freely use the other copy for armor shenanigans.
Olwen - Random, trash, catching dust. I should build her up like her brother for decent AA use, though.Mikoto - (foddered to Sakura) Not especially necessary, but a fun addition of a staff for my Sakura, since I already had a copy of her.
Naga - YES, no need to worry about Astra too much now.
Velouria - (merged) Perfect surprise, getting rid of a flaw for a useful unit. I'll take it.
L!Tiki - Not Naga/10, but a fine addition.
Sumia - Go away lance flier #1453
L!Tiki - (merged) Not Naga again, merged to get rid of a flaw.
B!Hector - Meh. Another one. Don't know what I did with him if the other is the dupe, maybe the single merge, but I forgot to note it down.
L!Eirika - I didnt aim for her, but as mentioned, I like Eirika, so I'll take her.
L!Tiki - Not Naga, again.... uuuh, merge, don't need her skills.
Nina - Whatever. Bow Valor at least.Yarne - Wanted Nah, but Yarne is absolutely fine. He is a good unit and fun to use. I also like him in general.
Ophelia - (foddered to Aversa) Random, hate her as a character, hate her as a unit for what she represents - namely devs smoking pot and creating this unit to make cash without thinking about gameplay- hate her outfit. I foddered her off to Aversa for a Rally+, which became a huge waste later when I got another Lugh. Good, her being a waste is a win in my book, buzz off.
HS!Hinoka - I like Hinoka, she is a unique unit, she has an interesting weapon, and she is occasionally useful. Don't like the art that much, but nothing major. Welcome.
HS!Sakura - Fodder-ready since I already had one.
Summer!Helbindi - (foddered to Olivia) Single most important unit to get this year. I needed you, thanks for coming! I can finally reuse Olivia in the Colosseum, I'm so happy about this. Sorry to kill you Helbindi, but I appreciate your sacrifice.
Laegjarn - (foddered - Aversa) Random, but very much liked. Using Aversa in the Colosseum is beyond helpful. A shame to fodder off a +Spd copy, but similar to Helbindi, your sacrifice is appreciated.
Flying Olivia - YES! I am SO glad to have her. I just need a copy of every single Olivia that comes out and I was majorly disappointed by not having her up till then. Good unit as well, and great eye candy art.
B!Lyn - (merged) Eh, merge is fine. I'll take it.
Claude - The only path I cared about in Three Houses, and this game knew it as well, so I don't even think I'll ever consider foddering off his lull.
Summer Lilina - Wanted Rally + for Aversa, got her and then realized her weapon is pretty neat for a dagger user. Still contemplating her final use to this day...B!Ephraim - Hello, dont really care.
Caineghis - (merged) Very nice to get rid of a flaw on an AR-unit. Anything that makes things go smoother.
Loki - A nice surprise. Still thinking about foddering off her duel skill to Sakura, once/if she gets a PRF. Until then, niche use in AR offense.
Elincia - Unexpected, good unit, great Att asset. Can't complain.
Nailah - (foddered to Velouria) Needed for Velouria. A bit sorry to fodder her off, since I like her, but I wanted a DC Velouria (and Null-C is a nice bonus).
B!Ephraim - (foddered to L!Tiki) Hello again, don't care. Tiki can use your Special Fighter, I guess.
Nephenee - Random, but I like Nephenee, so welcome, even if I won't use you ever.
Tibarn - You can catch dust with your counterpart while I try to find a use for you in the future.
Fallen Celica - instead of Myrrhs (foddered to B!Lucina) I hate you, I wanted Myrrhs. I know I didn't save enough, but this one was the low point of this year. Gave all I had for even a single Myrrh copy, but she came along. Didn't care how, but she needed to die. Foddered to B!Lucina for marginally better support in AR. Bye, don't come back.
Brave Camilla - Yes, please! Great unit and made the free choice of B!Micaiah easy, since I wanted both)
Lute - Random, kinda useless, but I like Lute, so welcome.
M!Grima - (merged) Good to finally get rid of his Res flaw, I liked that.
Brave Camilla - Good to have. Now I can use her on any season (Dark/Anima covers it all for AA) as she trivializes a lot of encounters.Lugh - (foddered to Aversa) Huh, you were so hard to get and now you show up randomly. Thanks, Aversa appreciated it.
Brave Eliwood - Wanted to fodder off SS3, but he actually is a good unit to counter stuff in AA. So I was reluctant to sac him... which is a shame, a lot of units want SS3.
Dancing Ishtar - Part of the one full circle I did on that banner. Another SS3 I can't fodder. She is way too good a dancer to do so.
Deirdre - Random, appreciated nonetheless. Dragons are everywhere in Arena.
Fallen Berkut - Go away.
Karel - I hate you.
Myrrh - (merge) My merge progress this year. A single copy, I am ashamed. 4 copies left.
Hrid - (foddered to B!Ike) - Hell yeah, Ill take a cheap DC to fodder off. What's that, B!Ike has a great refine to use with DC? Sign me up! I hate Hrid, btw. He was so pointless in the story.
Sanaki - (merge) Free pull, and I like Sanaki quite a lot, so a merge more for the emperor.
Yune - Hmm, hi there, don't mind having you, even if you aren't that great a unit.S!Veronica - (foddered to Reyson) YES, Reyson can become high-scoring. It pains me to kill my only copy, a +Att one at that, but you are the only source of BDF3. Sorry Veronica, I will miss you.
Hector/Lilina Duo - Wanted Ilyana or Caeda copies, but sure, I'll take your unique skill. Might still fodder you off.
Idunn - Gorgeous art and I like her. Other than that, eh
Leo - You...... YOU... are a joke and a scar that will never go away. I wanted you in the first year, I paid in the first year, I never got you. And now, when you are as useless as a stone thrown by Maribelle onto the Black Knight's armor, you show your face, pitybreaking me while I fruitlessly try to get H!Nowi. I will kill you for Quick Riposte someday, I promise you that, you worthless source of pain.
Igrene - (foddered to Leon) Her asset/flaw combo would determine her fate. I really like Igrene as a character and I would totally keep her, even with that great fodder, but alas, she was -Spd, the only flaw I could not tolerate. So Leon got some new toys and I lost Igrene. Maybe someday she will be back.
Brave Camilla - Yes please. Still thinking about her future use, but she is good fodder.
L!Marth - (merged) Don't care, but at least he lost his flaw, not that it matters for AA use.
Altina - Nice, don't need another Naga anymore.
L!Marth - Waiting to be foddered or whatever
Sothis - Welcome. I like her, don't really use her, but she is welcome in my collection.Python - What a pitiful 5* to summon. Catching dust.
Osian - Well, he is replacing Dorcas, for the few quests I use him on (story quests where you need an axe user, thats it)
B!Micaiah - Will get foddered at some point
Kaden - Not sure what to do yet, but he might be a good support somewhere.
Duo!MarthxElice - Not Sothis, but a good unit, even with Att flaw.
Quan - (soon-to-be-fodder to Reyson) Soo, you don't come on your current banner, but pitybreak me instead of me getting W!Sothis? You will die and give Reyson more scoring prowess for when it is needed, thanks.
Eir - The end of the line, fitting to be the Merciful Death herself, even if I wanted one of the green units on L!Celica's banner. A fine merge for a good and useful unit and a satisfying conclusion of this years summons.Final 2019 5* count (no guarantees/free picks/TT): 117 (25 directly aimed for)
What happened was pure confirmation 25/117 are targets, rather low in my opinion, though thats gacha for ya. The amount however, is pretty elevated, I feel. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but it felt way above average. 2019 destroyed 2018 in which, for half a year I didn't get a single unit I aimed for. I'm glad that that is cleary over. Hopefully to never return.
Now that this is done I need a new direction for my summons in 2020 and I will stop polluting this thread with my counter. A single full circle (of all focus colours) on all new banners, while saving for Myrrh copies? That might be my new way of summoning now that I have reached maximum scoring with my selected units and don't need anything else besides all future Olivias/Inigos.

Yup, that was me. I pretty much gave up on trying to rank on light seasons so I just put a silly theme team as my defense for fun. The Lyns can get a kill every now and then but that's not expected.
I wouldn't recommend facing my defense during Astra, though. It's when I play seriously and as such my defense team is full on annoyances like Fallen Tiki/Tibarn/etc.
Ah, makes sense. Why bother with futile attempts. Maybe not an efficient defense, but at least a welcome change, I can respect that.
Good thing RNG gave me your Light team, then. Unfortunately, random encounters will make me pay back todays leisure some other day with pure pain (probably tomorrow).
-
Huh, @Alexmender , I fought someone today with your name. My guess is that it was you, but maybe not (names aren't bound to any user, ey?). It was a team full of Lyns and I was with Myrrh, Eirs, Leanne and Aversa. Normally, I just surrender and give theme teams I like a free win, but unfortunately, this week I was sloppy and had no charges left on my ladder, so I didn't.
Regardless, I like seeing teams like these to alter the boredom that is otherwise AR.
-
Well, that was quite a set of disappointing summons. Like the previous post, absolute trash (typical 3*-available units, and no Caedas) with my very first Norne (-Spd, of course) on almost green-free circles (the one time there was green I got Titania; I surely need more of her to maybe +10 three copies of her).
Thanks for the coal, Sothis. Guess, now I know how you feel about me and why you aren't coming along on your winter banner. You can give me Feh back now. K, thx, bye.
Seems like a rather disappointing end for my total of 2019, but it is how it is. Still a few more days till it's actually over, but most opportunities have been used by now. Merry Christmas 😛
-
I still think an All-Anna banner would make sense considering her circumstances surrounding her existence. Additionally, it would be a good opportunity to offer rare weapon/movement combinations.
Regardless, I'll try for whatever skill comes with these with whatever few pulls are offered, maybe with a slight bias towards Anna. Don't mind any unit here, but I'm also not really invested to have any specific newcomer/alt anymore, soooo... ye.

dont worry they'll make you want to score hight because of the new currency the mode gives out.
Didn't work with Arena, didn't work with Aether Raids, didn't work with Allegiance battles.... so I'd say, nah, I'm good. Even if the new resource is nice to have I don't think I'll do more than "doing my best with what I have". Right now, I'm scoring reasonably well everywhere, so I don't see myself pulling for more mythics just for a few extra sheets of paper, whenever I'll be falling behind, if ever.
I mean, you're not wrong. I do want to score high enough in most modes with significant rewards, but they didn't have a lot of impact on how I waste my orbs until now, except when pulling for Summer!Helbindi, so that I can use Olivia in the Colosseum out of sheer bias.
-
So it's really just a "buy more mythics!!!" mode, since they are the only ones that can reach +20 status, while gameplay is just..... whatever (for now). As if I'd waste premium rallys, tier 4 skills, duel skills on mythics. So I guess I'm stuck with my score forever. Pretty bland if I may say so. Thanks for the info @Usana @Arcanite @Landmaster @Azuni , I'm actually glad I don't need to bless anyone for this.

Regarding the rows. Rows don't matter. Columns do. The highest scoring unit in each column is the one that is used for scoring purposes. So put one score stick in each column and then fill the other column slots with whatever you find most effective to play with. I hear alot of folks are liking galeforce, Though in my case nothing really gets low enough right now for it to proc usefully on anything. Well other than the top unit. My Galeforce Panne is getting a lot of exercise up there.
Hmm, alright. And how do blessings work? Do all units need to be blessed for the max score, or only the highest scoring one in each cloumn? Is it better to have one Mythic Hero, or two or even more? And I guess the position of the Mythic Hero within the defense team slots is irrelevant?
-
I am majorly confused at how the scoring works- Luckily, it doesn't matter as I am in the highest tier for rewards, but I just don't get what unit counts and which one doesn't. Leaving out the entire bottom row doesn't affect the score, swapping out units from one row to the other doesn't affect the score when I tried and it should make a difference (+10 ranged infantry for a +10, melee, duel skilled, rally + unit with better score potential, at least I think it should make a difference when considering the skill scores and BST).
Then there is the blessing garbage where I don't want to mythically bless a unit that already has a legendary blessing, and no. I'm not gonna +10 the same frekking unit a second time, just to have one for both systems. I could accept the 4 legendary elements, but the mythical crap pissed me off then, when I had to seperate my Myrrh from her legendary team, just to tolerate Aether
Garbage....I mean, Raids, and it pisses me off now. Hate this nonsense so much, yet it might be necessary in the future to bless some of my team to increase the score high enough to get those stupid resources that have no purpose yet (also most annoying that they merely tease it like the Sacred Coins). I won't even talk about the Shield phase being End-phase central while Strike phase doesn't even make any sense to me, whatsoever.In short, not a fan of this mode.
-
The year is slowly coming to an end and soon I will have the entirety of summoned 5* units to look at. I think I'll use all my orbs until then to have an exact number since I started the year with pretty much nothing (less than 5 orbs). Then I'll see what the F2P orbs have offered me in those twelve months.
Tried for Sothis, and once again (at least till now), didnt get what I aimed for, but rather a plethora of other stuff in the form of B!Micaiah (-Att, cool), Kaden (-Att, sigh...), and MarthXElice (-Att, puke).... ugh, the year is almost over and this phenomenon has persisted till today with some exceptions here and there. Still... take them all back and give me Sothis, game, thanks....
2019 5* count (no guarantees/TT): 115
-
Not sure why I even wasted orbs on the Peony banner, none of them are actually useful to me.... boredom is harsh.
Anyways, the tickets and orbs got me a disappointing 5* Python (what a waste of a 5* appearance) and immediately after, to wash Python down, an Osian, sure why not. Osian will serve me well during story quests where I need an Axe/Lance/Sword member in my team, without having to swap units between each map. Goodbye Dorcas, you kinda sucked lately. An additional merge for my Reyson is also well appreciated... and that's it. Not too shabby for the few orbs used, but I should have just started saving, to be honest.
2019 5* count (no guarantees/TT): 112
-
Sooo, will I be able to change skills in Aether Raids the moment I can see the enemy map without having started the battle? If so, I'd have to make some team adjustments.
-
Well, I wanted to make a sarcastic comment on how I got another L!Marth and Sothis before getting any Caeda copy, but I FINALLY got one on the way (I'd still like more, but what can you do... probably gonna be February/March before I get another Fortify Flier), so I can maybe stop wasting orbs on mindlessly summoning red whenever there is anything worth a damn on banners.
With that said, I'm happy about getting a Sothis copy, so I don't have to care about summoning her in the future. Though Time Pulse would surely come in handy for a Galeforce unit, if I ever care for anything in this game anymore besides collecting characters out of bias. The year is coming to a close soon and I'm interested in seeing the end result.
2019 5* count (no guarantees/TT): 110

Yeah, -Spd does kinda suck. Sorry man. I still think she could be viable, but I know her fodder is valuable. She's my first unit with Special Spiral, and I'm leveling her up right now in the magic workout map and it's insanely fun triggering Blazing Wind 3 times in a round (with help from 2 dancers) 😁
It's more a matter of principle, I guess. I like Igrene as a character and find her flaw to be an insult to her. Valuable units aren't really important to me anymore, I can clear all the content and place sufficiently high in all pvp modes, so all that is left is bias. She can still do a lot of work with -Spd, but I just don't want to look at it if I can, in exchange, buff up one of my favorites with perfect fodder for my usual build of Leon/Luna/Brave Bow+/LaD3. Now he'll just Luna every attack with 2 extra stats in Att/Spd, which I like quite a bit more than being sad at a disrespected -Spd Igrene. Heck, maybe I'll get another copy down the line someday.

Heh, reading your post reminded me that I've been sitting on a pity rate of just over 4% on that banner for a few days so I figured, what the hell. The second red orb in the circle gave me a Igrene! So thanks for that, lol. Not great IVs, -HP +Def, but I guess it could have been worse 😉
I'm glad me giving you that impulse didn't turn into simple waste. I'd take that Igrene, at least her speed isn't hit.

Gacha, i swear....
Still wasting all my orbs (should be saving up for the next Myrrh banner, but I'm dumb, whatcha gonna do) to get Caeda copies and apparently it's easier to get Igrene, Altina, L!Marth before a single copy of Caeda..... seriously? I'll probably get enough copies of all the other red units to +10 them all before I get another Caeda.... my god.Anyways, wasted too much, once again, on BB banner to get a -Spd (of course) Igrene.... sucks. Sorry, dear. I really wanted to keep ya, and I would have with any other flaw, but not the one that is important for your weapon. Anyways, Hero Merit and fodder for my favorite, Leon. Also, Brave Camilla in the same circle, good fodder, since I already have two copies.
As for Altina banner, I wanted a circle with reds and be done with it. Free pull had none, so I bailed after Kaze, second circle had three reds: (Stahl,) Altina and L!Marth. Can't complain too much, even with -Att flaw on Altina, and L!Marth instead of Sothis, since I didn't waste orbs for it. Probably gonna waste a couple of orbs more for the off chance of another Altina or any Sothis (buzz off, Marth).... or, Naga forbid, Caeda copies.... lol.

... I hope your luck continues to go well, since I sure wouldn't wish the luck I've been having on anyone.
Aaand it happened, all the orbs, wasted at 4,5% for H!Nowi, and I got a stupid -Att Leo (and not a single Caeda, oh wonder).... man, that is a low blow, game. But hey, maybe you got my luck instead? Guess I'm done with this banner. Sorry Nowi, it wasn't meant to be.

Maybe I should have realized this wasn't going to be a good year when it started with spending 700 orbs on Azura's legendary banner for a -atk Azura and 5 Fjorm pity breakers(I hit 13% three times that banner, all ending with single Fjorm pulls). Then 400 orbs for a Libra pity breaker and -spd Bath Hinoka in the first month.. I might have quit then and there if I knew things would keep going that way for the next 9 months.
I mainly like collecting as well, but without the good pulls AR is what's been left to focus on. I stay top 1k most weeks even with just 1 Naga for Astra, but I'd definitely trade it all for better summons. The paltry amount of extra grails isn't much payoff for that effort.
I have been f2p this year but I spent quite a bit of money the previous 2 years, not that my barracks really reflects that. (usually spending would be like 2-3 $40 orb packs just to get a one-off -spd of a seasonal and and a couple pity breakers). I'd be curious what my pull record would look like from before if I could count out what took money. Maybe the luck's always been this bad and I didn't realize it before. That money spent definitely contributes to some sunken cost feelings that keep me playing.
Ah yes, Fjorm... coming along when aiming for something else. Luckily for me, that pain didn't go to the same extent as your case and she made a good sacrificial lamb by becoming Att/Def Bond before it became easily obtainable.
The sunken cost fallacy only gets worse. While only you can decide on what is best, you definitely need to be clear on that principle to avoid an even worse outcome. With that said, I came back from the dire situation and it is also a possibility for you, either through luck or shift in interests (it helps that after spending the first year in this game it has now become entirely pointless as I would get almost no benefit worth the wasted money anymore. Getting nothing interesting for a while does kill the mood, though). Taking notes on pulls also really helps putting things into perspective, as you mentioned. With this years list, I now see that sticking with FEH seems likely manageable, while my pulls on another gacha game was horrendous compared to other users, which made me drop that game from any serious focus, as to not be disappointed and just laugh at it for being a garbage gaming experience.
