Thinks Their Own Way

Sword: Tanith, I love using fliers in Radiant Dawn and I love her colour scheme. She's also cool. Lance: Marcia, one of my favourite Tellius characters. Axes: CHARLOTTE... GIVE ME... CHARLOTTE... REEEEEEEEE. I really like her and hope a base version is available. Staff: Natasha, I always use her in Scared Stones and I just like her. Bow: Shinion, one of my favourite units to use in Radiant Dawn. Dagger: Asugi, I like him enough and honestly can't think of anybody else. Red Tomb: Miriel, she started with a fire tomb so I'll classify her as red. Green Tomb: Orochi, I can't think of how I would classify her. Blue Tomb :Illyana, specializes in thunder magic, so I'll classify her as blue. Dragon: I honestly do not know, the dragons I am familiar with and like are already in the game, Kuurthnaga I guess. He might be worth using for once. Beast: Rafael, He's my favourite heron and I have the other two already.

Ok I am surprised that Forging Bonds gives that many feathers. I was kinda hoping for a Tempest Trails, but maybe they are saving those for the eventual spring units.

I don't have anyone at 0 HM, I like having at least 1 copy of a hero, which means that I feel compelled to at least manually level them up which gives them HM. My lowest is Wrys with 31 and my lowest 5 star is Canas with 40. I have almost a page worth of heroes capped. Those who are almost there

This anniversary has taught me the ability to save orbs, and that is the greatest gift of all. But to look at the positives. H!Myrrh: I have her already with fantastic IV's, Vengeful Fighter and or Armour March could be nice. L!Azura: The one I want the most, I voted for her. It would be cool if I got her, but I rather wait until March's Legendary Banner to have a chance. I can go for L!Lucina as well. L!Lyn: I have only one Wind Legendary unit and his bonuses is ineffective for most of the units I have with wind blessings. Duma: Looks like a good unit. Having a use for astra (or was it anima) blessings could be nice.

Thinking about it, I feel that I should have used a term that was more male oriented, but considering how often the men in games like this are white, I accidentally conflated the two terms. I apologize. I feel that Rinea (the victim) of all people forgives him easily is indicative of the game's preference for it's male character. To me it sends the message that it's ok for men to treat women shitty, she'll forgive you no matter what. And the fact that she was a new character for the game is telling of a regression that I hope does not appear in Three Houses. I enjoyed this conversation.

This right here is the main reason why I don't like Echoes, and in regards with Rinea; I am honestly disturbed by how Berkut is so easily forgiven for his actions. That is some white privilege shit. The fact that I see some people in this fandom treat them as #relationshipgoals has me concerned.

Between Winter Robin on the first banner and not Winter Eirika on the second banner, it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Something I noticed was that Winter Eirika had her weapon already equipped. I really appreciate that change, I hated training healers when summoned at 5 stars because they didn't have a weapon when summoned. I hope that is a regular thing now.

My Final Ballot is: Legendary Azura Hoshidan Summer Micaiah Winter Lissa Halloween Mia Bride Tharja

My first vote went to L!Azura, second vote went to HS!Micaiah, and my third vote went to W!Lissa. I'm going to be mainly be voting for units like Seasonal and Legendary units; as well as vote for different units because if all my votes goes towards a single individual, I feel like I'm making the random aspect slightly less annoying for myself.

I'll give an example as to why I feel safer: I have a +4 Masked Marth, I need 6 more copies to +10 her, I am given 20 to use my grails on. 20-6= 14, I have 14 spare copies left in the heroic grails menu. Take this idea and apply it to someone like Linus or M!Kana who have very good skill fodder. Once I +10 them, I am left with at least another 10 copies of said unit. At that point, it might as well be skill fodder at that point and even then I struggle to think of 10 units I want to give Brazen Def/Res. I hope I was clear in my explanation.

My personal preference: Red: Hoshidan Summer Micaiah Blue: Legendary Azura Green: Winter Lissa Colourless: Halloween Mia These are the units that gets me excited about this event, even though I only see Azura and maybe Micaiah having a chance.

My options were: 2 Colourless, 2 Greens, and 1 Blue circle. I picked the blue circle and ended up getting a +Res/-Speed... Winter Robin. If I ever felt like using him I'll most likely give him Quick Reposte, use one of the M!Kana for Brazen Def/Res for tanky build. I'm not upset by what I got, I could have been worse. I hope I get Red for the second banner.

Looking at all the seasonal's laid out like this made me realize how I barely have any of the Red ones. Priority Order, based on the probability of how I am less likely to pull a duplicate unit: 2017: Red/Blue/Colourless/Green 2018: Red/Green/Colourless/Blue

I don't have: Gunnthra Lyn Lucina Marth Tiki Eirika Azura Lucina with her Future Vision, Tiki and Azura out of all of them to me look the most intriguing to pick. Leaning towards Azura because I have been loving support units lately.

Looking at his C skill brought back memories of how I did not like playing Echoes (second worst game I've played in this series). I wouldn't mind trying for either: Tiki, Summer Ryoma, Summer Linde or Brave Ephraim. But nothing super exciting for me.

I guess this is an unofficial top 15 favourite Fire Emblem characters: Charlotte (Fates)- IN, on a technicality. Elise (Fates)- IN Miriel (Awakening)- NOT Velouria (Fates)- NOT Amelia (Sacred Stones)- IN Nino (Blazing Blade)- IN Joshua (Sacred Stones)- IN Nailah (Radiant Dawn)- IN Rafiel (Radiant Dawn)- NOT Lucius (Blazing Blade)- IN Henry (Awakening)- IN, but done dirty. Camilla (Fates)- IN, multiple glorious times. I know what I said. Gaius (Awakening)- IN Tana (Sacred Stones) IN, people say she's in Heroes but I haven't summoned her, I've tried to, but Jakob had to break my pity rate when blues didn't show and colourless wasn't even a goddamn focus unit on the movement skills banner. FUCK JAKOB Ephraim (Sacred Stones)- IN

I really, really, really wanted Nailah... but I am content with getting Leanne, Reyson and Hinoka.

Legendary Azura for her as a support unit, her utility is absolutely outstanding and I want her.

And that's kinda funny to because of how the one thing people complain about beast units is that they lack a 1-2 range weapon. Not Nailah in Heroes.

Nailah is looking O.P. and I am here for it.

Because Nailah (after that I don't care who else is on the banner, she will be taking orbs) has been shown and this banner is Radiant Dawn themed, I would love to see Rafiel. But I can see someone like Skrimir, Volug (easy skips) or Vika, people introduced in Radiant Dawn. I hope all the units on this banner are beast units.

My free pull on the tactics banner was a 5 star L' Arachel, she's +3 now for me. My free pull on the BHB banner was a 5 star Roy. A) Where the fuck was this free focus luck during any banner back in December, and B) I think the game is preparing me for a bad time when summoning for the beast units.
