Garon came back with some orbs, and for my troubles I got a 3* Lazlow out of a green-less circle on my quest for Lugh. The possibilities are endless, such hype! :D

Is anyone else getting as curbstomped on the new Fire Garden map as I am? Just the first map is insane.
Seriously, against 5 units all with inflated HP and good luck using any armors to bait because the Cavalier has an Armorslayer. I'm not seeing how this is even beatable.
Ironically, I beat the first one with armors. Granted, the armorslayer was killed by Bold Fighter BB H!Jakob, so I made it trivial. B!Hector, L!Hector and Grima made the rest rather easy. But that was my case, with pretty synergestic teams. Once someone is at a point where he has a lot of blessed units, e.g. someone like me, who collects a lot of units he likes, these chain challenges become rather easy, same with AA and the like.
I will say this, though: I agree that this one was pretty tough in comparison to the previous ones. I actually failed on the last map, just by lazily underestimating it. It felt like FEH year 1, the first time I tackled that Veronica map. Nothing my B!Lyn + dancers couldn't handle on my second attempt, though (weakening Veronica with Melee was necessary).

Huh, I did not know it was a preference skill.
And honestly it makes no sense to me why it is the case.
BTW mine does not run it.
It's not, it's just restricted to Blue Fliers, not to L!Azura herself. That's why Seafarer mentions Yune being green, thus not being eligible for that skill. You need Bunny Veronica for the same skill that applies to Green Fliers.
While I'm at it, todays and yesterdays orbs gave me Sophia and Arthur, meh- Off to the manual-machine you go!

I wanted a full circle, but getting only red/colourless on the first circle displeased me (pretty much only cared for green and blue), so I ended up summoning five times on three different circles. Garbage that turned into manuals (Stahl, Subaki, Boey, and one i already forgot) and, of course, L!Azura, the one I already have. I'll stop here, not gonna be like the other times and foolishly try getting anything I actually want out of legendary banners. Besides, it could have been five useless units instead of four. It's just astounding how I still manage to perfectly miss my desired units a lot of times. Oh, and a random Selkie on the Fir&Bartre pull when it came out, where there were no reds, nor greens. Life is weird. Guess I might waste a few more orbs on Lugh after all... though I'll have to pretend summoning for Sue, so the game gives me what I "don't want".
Good luck to the rest of you if you're still gonna pull.

Hmm, i'm not sure how to vote with the new system. With 1500ish flags per round, the smartest move for feather mercs is to use all 8 votes with 800 flags in the last "weaker" phase of the round, to get the maximum of points, however, the most amount of points before that would be a 7-vote with 700 flags before that in the last "weaker" phase 8 hours before the aforementioned one. This is going to be weird to predict. Also wasting the peanut daily login flags somewhere else, as usual.
This feels like a change similar to the Aether Raid changes that were supposed to avoid making us play daily (which didn't work out, since you pretty much should play as little as possible, to not refill the aether above the cap, but without pushing too far towards tryhards; not to forget that you still need to play 5/7 days for the rewards anyways.). I already barely played VG on the first day of every round, and I'll still need to pay attention to the last hours of the new system, so I'm not sure how much better this really is. I'm still on camp "Let VG die", but hey, just my personal opinion on this mode.

Soo, we have the dark mythic hero now, whose kit works around her Res stat, while Eir, as her counterpart, grants a lot of extra Res stats during the same seasons just to make it kinda useless against a lot of properly built AR units (Tanks mostly, but thats what is commonly used). I guess it affects CC-Vantage enemies, commonly bow users, since she might be on flier balls? Even then, I'd question its use. Maybe I'm wrong, and will get crushed in practice, but she seems, kinda bad for gameplay, like Duma. How come, new characters like these, who I really appreciate being implemented in the game, come with skills and traits I can't really see myself wanting at all? Nothing to complain about her aesthetics, though.
Full circle and off for me (Maybe Blue if I feel like going for Lucina and Ophelia, alas with the risk of Azura being useless now after her free copy). Otherwise, more time to waste orbs on
Rally Up R.... Lugh. -
Rerun of the BHB gave me enough to snipe two more greens for Lugh, if there were two, but there was only one:
So I took it, and it was.... my fourth Sue....
OK game, I get the picture. I'm done with the BB banner, you win. I'll take the sole red orb on my way out. 3* Selena? Sure, whatever.

I know being in the top 3 is all that matters in regards to rewards...but this still makes me salty as shit. Can you really blame me?
Yes, coz it is, as you stated yourself, entirely irrelevant. Who do you want to impress by being first with 161+ points more? Yourself? Because no one else will care for more than a few seconds. Personally, I'd laugh seeing this if I were you (as long as it truly makes no difference in rewards, of course, which it doesn't).
There are so many things one could be salty about in this game; this isn't one, I feel.

Full circle with three green orbs, I really hoped for Veronica after seeing that, but it was "just" a Bruno, with an atrocious -Att flaw. And nothing on my quest for Lugh after getting all the orbs (not even green options XD)
The rest next to Bruno was garbage that I almost immediately forgot after turning them into manuals: a Titania, Frederick, Cecilia, Odin, Adult Tiki, Stahl (The usual crap). Funny, considering I could use some common units again like Gunter, Camilla, Jagen, Est, and what not, but I manage to summon around those, while they kept infesting my barracks in the past. Such is life.

Levelling up my first circle Bruno and my god, what a terrible unit. Granted, he is -Att, making the training harder, and he still has the advantages of Cavalry/Staffs, but his stats are really underwhelming, or rather, just bad. Struggling this much on the mage map is fascinating. Not even sure if I'll keep him around that long after using him in TT+ if I am being perfectly honest. Unfortunately, foddering him off would still only allow for a single skill to be transferred with all levels, even after the recent changes, so I can't even give anyone his staff AND Dazzle at the same time, bummer. How does one even build a super slow cavalry healer with nothing but decent def? Whatever I can think of feels like a huge waste on him. I do like his staff though, for general sustainability and as an alternative to the usual pain/gravity healers.

Quite the unexpected turn of events, seeing Flier Formation at 4*, given out for free and easily accessible for further copies. I admit, I didn't see it coming (still, not gonna praise the Grails system as a good way of doing a skill shop) and will definitely come in handy. First one goes to L!Azura, because the most potent dancer needs all the skills for all the situations. After that, I'll probably put it on a few other units of my flier defense team in AR.

We've all had discussions about weird angles and proportions, like with OG Catria's back distortion, and a lot can be debateable (freeze frames basically making some of them at least plausible for short moments without breaking people's spines), but am I wrong to say that in Loki's damaged art her right breast is just completely off, even while bouncing up? Like, its position is just way to high to make any sense in my mind (at least if her internal bone structure is intact and not lethally broken. I already had some minor gripe with the artist's previous work (Noire, Rhajat), but, ultimately, I ended up liking them.... this one, on the other hand, just feels wrong, and I'm not talking about lewdness. My understanding of the human anatomy might be off, though, so correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyhow, banner is really unspectacular, and putting a G-Duel skill on a seasonal is another masterfully smart choice by Intelligent Systems (The name becomes more and more ironic to me). Legendary G-Duel wasn't enough, let's make it seasonal as well. Granted, I just don't give a damn about Arena anymore, but this is still beyond annoying for anyone who does, and that's without any noteworthy skill acquisition beyond gacha, and Grails.... which will not feature duel skills for a while, I think (and is generally very limited). Then again, I'm probably the fool, because other people will gladly pull for it with their monz, just to use.... uuh... NY!Azura in Arena? Whatever....
I'll definitely forget about the banner after the first circle; the spring banners are so bland. Everyone has the same costumes we've seen before, lackluster or even useless skills, and they don't entice me more than that. Sure, they are cute, but only my favorite characters would even be considered to be pulled with such low impact on gameplay. I appreciate the respite for my orb stash, and the inclusion of Palla/Marisa/Veronica alts. Bruno can buzz off, personally, he is so boring. Still, in my one summoning circle, I'll pull all, with the exception of blue, probably (sorry Marisa, you are just entirely useless with that kit and movement type).

this is why i always try to post my yucky ones too. lol i am infamous for them. :) though sometimes the amount of consecutive 5* free pulls make me very jealous. haha
Commendable; I just can't risk pulling myself down even more when missing the units I want while others freepull themselves stuff that I cannot have. If I wrote down all my pulls, like the worthless 4* Boey and 3* Arthur from today, during a hypothetically frustrating period I'd just make myself hate the game more when AR and Arena already help me do that just fine. No need to add to injury, so I just don't make a habit of it. Still, I see why you post them all; no risk of bragging there.

SIGH
After watching everyone get 1-2 free 5* units from the BB banner I was so excited to finally be able to summon on it today
Don't let yourself get ensnared by the lucky pulls in this thread, leading you to waste more orbs or make some risky decisions, just to be lucky yourself. The unlucky/unimportant pulls aren't posted very often (mostly because "why bother/why remind oneself of bad pulls?") and I'm guilty of it as well. When I had very unlucky six months of summons in 2018 I barely came to this thread, as it would have probably just made me feel bad/worse. You might not be at risk, so I may just be needlessly talking here, but I saw in your posts that you weren't getting a whole lot of luck. Regardless, I hope you'll get the Sue and Alm you want.

Hmm, after recently getting Reyson, I just noticed how Fortify Beast is a 5* skill, this should be the first time that both Hone and Fortify "InsertGroupHere" have been 5*-locked since initial dragon buffs, I think. This is a shame, as I really like to build synergistic teams with their respective buffs, but I don't feel like putting both Reyson and Leanne in my future Beast team, nor like spending 20k each time a rare Reyson copy appears just to give the rest their buffs. Guess I'll have to wait for a Kana-like unit to come along and demote at least one of the skills.
As for some of the other discussions here, give me a FEH channel, IS, spring is looking really bland at the moment. A bit of spice is needed before I kill myself over Aether Raid.
-
New Power, taking all the greens for my Sonya as I may make her Ophelia 0.9, but nothing beyond first circle (no really exciting/useful units).
4* Boey
5* Sonya
While I did technically get what I wanted this time, it wasn't a priority summon and just the best of the featured units, not too exciting, but at least Sonya won't have any flaw anymore.
2019 5* count: 42 - Sigh, I'll stop posting these if people see this as bragging, btw (Getting 5* in almost every circle atm; pretty much awaiting a long period of bad luck anytime soon), because I just intend to keep track of this phenomenon and how it will balance itself in the long run of this year.

Ha, two Tibarns and Velourias sounds like fun, alas, Velouria got no demotion, and pulling another Tibarn might take a while, completely ignoring the fact that my Tibarn is -Att, which sounds useful against squishies but atrocious against bulk when triggering galeforce while killing the unit. I'm tempted to invest in the idea, but the risk of me being totally inept at executing either retreat or obliteration remains.
AR defense costing so many resources is really bothering me, making me hesitate with any other major investment. Same goes for a Witchy Wand approach for those stupid Pulse teams who think they are oh so clever. I hate this mode :D
-
Quantity over Quality continues:
Following my last post and while sniping for Lugh got me: 4Head Olwen, my third Sue (well, someone is getting Hone Speed 4, that's for sure) and B!Ike.
I appreciate getting 5* units for low amounts of orbs (This banner is wild; 8 5* units with free summon, 4 tickets and 48 orbs), but I cannot reiterate enough how I'm not getting what I'm aiming for. This game is such a weird experience sometimes.

Not Lighr seasons are a pain, I just hope to not go down to T19 after my horrendous start of season.
Thanks @MonkeyCheez3K, it’s the second time I finish so near, and both by getting an ofensive loss in the last days. I’m working on improve my defense too. But I just upgraded my defensive fort to Lvl.3. The more I miss T21, the slower that my defense upgraded can be done. Actually using some armors, but I need more Draugs
Hmm, I find armors to be very easily disposed of. Either by kiting them or with Pain-SavageBlow/Uncounterable attacks. Also, armors do a very bad job at limiting the opponents space to maneuver around your threats. I remember trying armor balls in the past, and seeing them getting obliterated even with good units like H!Jakob, W!Fae, Hectors and the like was just painful. Luckily I didn't waste too many resources, but a waste it was.
I'm going for a flier ball atm, with enough anti Bow-CC-Vantage-Approach to not get roflstomped by it. While it doesn't really matter at T21, it helped quite a bit in T20. Since I suck at defense builds and one could explain my failure with me being unable to properly build a good map with my armors, I won't be telling you what to make yourself, but I can safely say that whenever I see enemy armor teams my match becomes way easier. Anyone can teach me otherwise here, but I feel it's generally the case.

Yay, so I have officially finished at 10974 lift ?♂️
Been at 1099X (10993 according to a previous post of mine, though I now forgot the precise digit since) myself the first time I came close, so I know how it feels. While I made it the following Light season, it still was painful to waste more time in T20 as someone who just wants be done with it and stay in T21. With that said, if you manage to get to that score you will eventually make it there, with a bit of refinement in defenses to mitigate losses and some typical effective strats on offense (Super Tank, CC Vantage, Galeforce, Dancers, Ophelia, Aversa and Loki if available). I hate the mode with a passion and still managed with my "I just don't care" attitude, so I know you can, too.
On that note, me trying to get rid of my daily matches this soon wasn't smart, but hey, I'm impatient and won't have to think about it till tomorrow. Lost a unit and two ladders with unlucky matches, should really wait out on the tryhards to get higher before I make my matches to secure my position. Will also kick Velouria out of the team, no bonus unit this season would help me in my endeavour, at least not yet (Velouria can be quite handy with another unit, but I don't have anything ready yet), so I might just be more content with consistent 80 than possible failure.
I kinda want to turn my Tibarn into a Galeforce user for the future, but I am very inexperienced with these units and hate wasting resources. Does anyone with Galeforce experience in AR have some pointers to what my team needs to have and do in order to make it work? This is one instance where I could see Velouria being helpful to reduce the CD of Tibarn's Galeforce. I also have Reyson and Leanne and L!Azura for buffs and dancing, but I still don't see myself succeeding with it yet. I feel I'd just position Tibarn poorly and he'd die the following turn.
-
I knew the chances were not stellar, but darn, I really wanted Velouria as a +10 project. Now I'm happy to have one copy, but it would have been a great goal to have. A bit saddening. I feel another beast demote would have been quite healthy for the game, but I guess IS wants to keep it more premium for a bit.
Lugh demote is the next thing I want, because Thea.... is just.... I mean what is she even accomplishing, except being a terrible pitybreaker like Luke and friends?
-
The hell is happening right now? Impatient as ever, I farmed the tickets coz I felt an itch to summon, so free summon, 4 tickets and 16 orbs later I got
Spoiler4*Arthur
Sue
Sue
Ike
Brave Celica
4* Frederick
4* Nino
3* Titania
Mia
I did want a Lugh for his Rally Up, coz I don't think he will demote, but yeah, no. I won't complain, but that felt unreal. An apology for the void I got on the legendary banner and the lack of Ophelia on hers?

Why not try doing it instead? 1 or 2 matches more will give you quite some leeway to mitigate defense losses.

My lack of interest for FE6 aside, this is an easy skip for a lot of people due to several reasons. For me personally, I just don't have any orbs left, the last banners were all pretty demanding in orbs by offering a variety of useful skills and fan-favorites, making me way more hesitant on summoning for anything non-essential atm. Comparatively, this banner also offers very little besides fanservice for the FE6 crowd.
Lugh's premium skills aren't the ones most people would strive for (Rally Up Att/Spd being more desireable than Res I'd say, except if you just want the same score; Serpenttomes are kinda useless to me and feel more like a gimmick. Feint is whatever and cumbersome; not useless, but not great). I like Sue, but another coloured bow is an instant skip, even with a well scoring C-skill (going for those lvl 4 skills is really tedious, btw). Get the Short Bow if you need it, but I find it hard to care for a 5* locked Bow Dao. Thea... is one of the most obvious demotes ever. Idunn, the other character I like from the banner (I'm surprised that there is more than one I care for with a FE6 banner, since I really don't like the game all that much) is gorgeous, sure, but another bad dragon-armor unit for AR, and just another H!Myrrh for Arena; easy to kite without DC, hard to merge up, doesn't change a whole lot in my approach on how to defeat armors/dragons. It just causes me to shrug, and since I don't have any team requiring her presence, the entire banner becomes very lackluster and skippable.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was calculated by IS to have a reason to say "Well, people don't summon for these lesser known FE6 characters or even the popular ones like Idunn, so it's back to Fates alts. We tried, guys, but you just didn't care.", while they deliberately just made it quite bland. I will say this, I appreciate the characters (5 new ones, very nice) and it would be even nicer if IS just offered us these less impactful banners every once in a while, just to add characters, throw the fans some bones, and not caring about maximum profit all the time, but that won't be the case, obviously. Probably just an appeaser for what is to come after the banner, with more Camillas, Lyns and what not.

Enough to snipe the greens again, let's go! One green, sure! Come to me.... my .... fifth..... Sue? I was going for the next 5* or the end of the banner, but I got 5 Sues and not a single Lugh. Why game? How do you know what I want so perfectly that you just give me masses of stuff that aren't that? Give Sue to people who want her, not me... nobody needs so much Hone Speed 4 + Chill Def.
Goodbye, Lugh... maybe the FEH channel will offer an alternative, though I really doubt it. Sigh...
