@Zeo No reason to force it, hope weekend with nephew at least turned out great 🙂 Pacing yourself is better, even I've been slowing down on clears lately. Sometimes I only have the energy or inspiration to do 1 Also new refines. Been using Brave Axe Freddy for the longest time, I wonder if I should just switch to his prf since I only have Bartre for armour slaying greens. They have been getting bulkier these days. Virion's is interesting, but don't really fill like training him anytime soon- even if it would've been nice to do a Virion and Cherche clear while the BHB is still up.

I'd love to donate one of them if I could, it would help with my indecision haha I was really close with getting the top reward for that orb, (was the 2nd rank for those rewards). Hopefully when the next orb rewards come I can reach it. I guess the Reinhardts would like DB4, but other than I don't think I really have anyone that really needs it? I've been fine with DB3 and only use him when desperate for orbs. I'd rather have Cherche get Sturdy Impact if I get a spare one. Then again as Humanoid mentions, there's also something satisfying about removing a superbane. edit: @mampfoid That's fair, I do use him every week for the pair up bonus. Thanks!

Hmm was impatient for the update and blew my small stash again after arena orbs since i want an extra Hrid for DC+Atk smoke combo. good news is i broke the rates for both accounts. Got a dupe Eliwood for each, my main now has a +Atk/-Res one (original was neutral) while my alt has a +Spd/-HP one (original was +Res/-HP) now unsure if i should merge or save the first copies for DB4 fodder. I only sacrificed a Freddy to give him Luna so haven’t inherited too much on the original copy. But then again maybe i should merge to remove bane and score a little better in Allegiance battles? (Want to get to the 5 orb prize)

@TheSilentChloey Oooh congrats! always a great feeling to get someone you wanted for free +Spd is good though, because sometimes she can attack twice and pack more punch. Either way, just gotta work with what the gacha gives

@Alexmender Well done on the Eirkia solo! Kind of frustrating to hear about the nature dilemma so soon after you changed natures but good to see you made it work. At least taking out Thrasir early was a good decision, not having to deal with Panic Smoke too long, although the clear slowed down a little bit in the middle waiting for the tin cans to come to their death haha. Officer Hilda sure does some good work, Mordecai did a great job on Smite duty for the first part of the map haha. DC is a great A skill on her. Hope you get to fix Winter Eirika's bane when she gets rerun! @SatsumaFSoysoy Brave Celica sure had some firepower in that clear! Also great to see Kagero work, I keep flip-flopping if I want to use +Atk or +Spd but I guess your clear helps make this decision. Also very fitting to have Brave Veronica in this map too with her support.

How did you get negative pity rate? XD But yeah I know that feel. Still haven't cleared a rate in my second account. Hope you clear it! Well the new banner isn't actually that must-have for me in terms of trailer skills, so I thought with my 8 orbs, I'd do one last yolo attempt on the banners ending today. Totally forgot about the stratum quests though, I should've read your post before summoning but well... there were 2 green orbs, only had enough for 1 so I picked the left and...I got a +Spd/-Res dancing Reinhardt from a 3% rate!!! Nature could be better but as long as he's not -Atk I'm fine, and it was super lucky anyway so I can't complain! @daisy jane I did end up succumbing to Fanlivia YOLO but got my 24123th Jeorge.. Well that should stop my summoning itch for today. I think I'm actually satisfied on not clearing the mythic banner anymore after finally getting both Judgral dancers. For now.

@Zeo OOOO!!! CONGRATS!!! It feels good to finally break a rate, so I'm happy that you got a one of the best archers with you. Looks the high rate gave you a nice prize with Sturdy impact fodder too, and I'm jealous of your double Cains, I'm running out of WoM again lol. I wish you luck for Halloween month! @daisy jane Thanks! Just glad to have her really, it's been 2 years since she came out so nice to get her for the artwork alone. Kinda tempted to yolo for Fanlivia but I really need to save....but then she'll return next year...but then it'll only be for the art anyway and there are better dagger dancers... argh the temptation is too strong!

Got a free Nephenee on my alt account! Of course she's +Res/-Atk but I finally got a blue infantry Tellius unit. Also stupid me tried to open the other orb out of salt because of the bane and got a 3 star L'arachel. Then for even more salt I wanted to get any 5 star from the legendary but just got a pity rate... At least there's a +Atk/-Spd Hawkeye so maybe the refine could be good. On the other hand in my main account, I wanted to clear the 3.50% in the Soiree banner. 2 reds. First was a Morgan, and the second is finally, +Res/-HP S!Ishtar! Finally have a red flying dancer! Opened the blue and colourless but shouldn't have, just a Florina and Virion. Now I just hope I can stay strong for H!Jakob/B!Lucina...because I only have 2 orbs right now...

Bah so much for saving. Still wanted a new Hrid but whenever there's 3+ red orbs I get baited in opening them all. At least I got Aether fodder in Chrom which I was lacking for a long while.

I’m a casual so i don’t mind the garden and cooking. Passive prizes are great for my lifestyle, even if i only used dragonflowers once for those hero’s path quests. love the new battle factory-like mode, i can get to use units i don’t have and have fun with randomised skills that i would normally not have or pull for. l’arachel is a nice halloween alt (wonder what @Rezzy thinks of her look) and while i’m a bit meh about the new duo units, beard Hector with Smallina has nice art. On one hand i wonder what future duos will be (Bord and Cord? Lol as if but i wonder if this is what L!Celica could be) but on the other hand, don’t like how it can justify an extra slot that a different character can have. Oh and powercreep i guess but i stopped caring about inevitable bsts and stuff long ago. Voiced convos are at least nice. Low-key just wish duo units are seasonal unit so they don’t clog the normal pool. Dozla is unexpected but if he had to come at least being with L’arachel fits. Rip another potential axe unit in general pool though. Rolf is unexpected but hey he’s free and he can replace the Wolt-shaped hole in my barracks. just need another green-haired shota archer for an Emblem team. Does Ignatz count? Although he looks wildly different to Wolt/Rolf/Gordin

@Zeo Wow, Panne sure is deceptively bulky that even Gerome can't one shot her with Poleaxe (also mental note I should use Gerome more for Pannes in AA) Nice to see Summer Fred's B skill help out, I always liked Seal Atk/Spd. Oh and Gerome's convenient it and Run, love it when base kit skills work out! I keep sleeping on Chrom, so good job showcasing him!

Could be gameplay wise? Since i think he has the lowest BST in the game.

@Landmaster Lots of Bignis procs all around! Very satisfying to see the big damage, Keaton does Keaton nuke things and Elise's bladetomes also add to the fun. B!Hector is too strong with his dual phase playstyle. @DLNarshen Julius had to be really offensive using the power of bladetomes. Nice to see some friends in action, love the use of Nanna in particular. Ranged cavs love this map. Also the rock music fits with Edgy Veronica as an opponent lol @Diovani Bressan Wow you really make me regret not trying for Laevatein, her damage output is scary. Especially scary with L!Azura's full buffs and extra move! @Ginko It's almost time for Hallloween and Halloween Kagero sure scared enemies with her amazing offensive power. Siegbert likes having the cav movement in this map, too while Shiro does wall things! Really great team synergy. Dagger debuffs are always satisfying to see with dagger emblem, congrats on completing Sothe! Armoured boots Kagero + dancing Ryoma is just so effective. @Alexmender @daisy jane @Zeo @mampfoid @NegativeExponents- @SatsumaFSoysoy So the Omnicidal Witch challenges us huh? Her offense maybe massive, but it's time to let the real Echoes witches to show her a thing or two about what being a witch is about- just in time for Halloween month! Team is +Atk/-Res Fallen Celica, neutral Fallen Delthea, +Spd/-Def Fallen Berkut (because he has actual witch Rinea) and neutral Rinea. Music is The Scion's Dance in Purgatory from Fire Emblem Echoes. - The real scary witches are from Echoes, because they can warp out of nowhere, and F!Delthea brings those scary powers through Escape Route. Rinea also has the staple WoM for dancing duties- I was gonna use Witch Mia for the clear but I really needed to be super offensive in this map so dancing was really needed (and Rinea has F!Berkut's accessory so close enough!) -Berkut and flame Rinea use their Res powers to deal with the red manakete, but also distracting the healer by letting her heal the red dragon for a while. F!Delthea needed Darting Blow to double the firesweep sword and had to tank a hit from the thieve to activate her warping powers. -Normal Rinea had to tank a hit so she can start F!Celica's path of destruction by deleting the thief, while Delthea provided ranged support. Fun fact, FF!Celica can actual double and KO Thrasir when at full health and with Darting Blow but she can't survive both the Brave Bow archer and the Razzle Dazzle healer, so she had to retreat and wait when the time was right. Rinea made good bait to manipulate Thrasir's AI so I can get Celica into positionby baiting the Brave Bow archer away from the group. After that it was pretty much Celica mopping up. Gravity+ Cleric on a map like this was super annoying so it was satisfying to see her perish.

Ooooh congratulations! Awesome boon/bane, at least you ended with a good haul and had some fun units along the way. Sorry to see bad luck strike again Zeo, hope you get something in the end

Thanks! So legendary banner. Had another rough day at work so give me something game. Want L!Eliwood the most for my main. ...well, my single red orb free summon was Eliwood...regular one. +Spd/-Res though, my first +Spd one so I guess i can use that for Blazing Durandal instead of +Atk? Trying again, I tried a new circle. and this time it was a neutral Legendary Eliwood! Umm looks I extended the birthday luck for a little bit more. Then I got greedy since I only used 5 orbs out of 80, I had a theme team planned if i get L!Eirika and/or I also want to fix my Hrid's -Atk. Eliwood with a boon would be good, too. Managed to get a +Res/-Def Yune out of it when I had no reds, which is better than my +Res/-Spd one, or maybe I'll run both for a defense team. Sadly ran out of orbs for now, but I forgot that i should've been saving for Brave Lucina soon anyway so I think I should stop for now. Nothing on second account, but I did only have 26 orbs so that's expected. edit: tried again for alt account...got 2 -Atk Stahls in the same circle 😕

@daisy jane @Zeo thanks! was hoping to fix innes’s -Spd (or get an actual Res tank archer for my main) but no colourless orbs. Oh well i can wait or just build Niles someday. good luck on the saving though Zeo! It does get easier the higher the number is or if you’re busy in real life anyway. I’m just happy i saved at least 80 orbs for now which is high for me these days with all the bait banners around. Going over 20 orbs is the first step i find haha hope you all get Mia as well, Witchy wand is a really good staff. 4 unit banners are rough but I think it’s worth to at least try for her once because she’s only come back a year from now, barring any unexpected anniversary things. unless a new unit powercreeps her weapon skill i guess. At least there’s starting to introduce Ruse skills to mimic the Guard status

Halloween Mia heals my team when she’s not using Witchy Wand also because of Cordelia’s TA, Cherche shouldn’t really be taking that much damage.

Huh. Managed to get an accessory in the end, the Cordelia one, all thanks to her having Triangle Adept in her base kit as an enemy. Still, took a few tries to even get to 150k but I used H!Mia, Cherche with Heavy Blade + Astra, NY!Azura and L!Lyn. Well, guess having coloured bows is a good advantage for this mode against flier Rokkrs if you want as much damage as possible. Astra/GF really shines in this mode.

Good thing he came when Astram was released for your ease Wrath needs 😛 but yeah Wrath + Black Luna is really scary also huh, just realised the Fierce Stance banner released on my birthday, so I guess do something special to Zelgius as thanks. Even if his Atk/Spd is actually lower than BK lol, I'll think of a use @Landmaster Oooh, grats on the lucky Shigure! +Spd is the winner here, and -Atk means he won't get baited as much if he was AI so that's fine @mampfoid Thanks! Not gonna fodder her yet though, I quite like Nah. If anything if I get more than 1L!Roy then he will be fodder 😛

@Zeo oh hey free zelgius buddy! He is probably fast enough to use Spd compared to other armours, so it’s up to preference, you can never go wrong with +Atk but Doubling and surviving more can also be nice. Although if you go with Bold Fighter route if you have the fodder than Atk might be better. Or i’ll that that +Atk instead to swap my Zelgius because -Atks should never be a thing lol also warp powder is fun to play around with.

At least Mia doesn’t share a focus colour. trying for jakob last year was frustrating especially when there would be 1 or 0 colourless orbs. I think when i tried for Mia i broke the rate with a -Atk Sothe, which at least won’t happen anymore. Still worth to try for her since her weapon is really useful. so new banner. Got none of the units in my main. 1 red and 1 green. while Dorcas would be useful for Infantry Pulse, i thought i’d try red. good news- got Zelgius. Finally a backup red armour. bad news- he’s +Def/-Atk. Oh well, i new there’d be a catch sooner or later, but just glad to have him for free.

If only you had 0 axes and rank 0 (i know technically that doesn’t exist)

Sunglasses should come back in a Tap Battle rerun. Or get the golden sunglasses in a future Abyssal? could barely get the lowest level reward. Oh well, i conditioned myself to not care about the golden accessories anymore so i’ll just have to let these ones go as well. They’re just static flames anyway so they’d probably trigger my ocd if anything

Finally fished out a focus unit from the Bonfire banner. Got a neutral Nah after 3.75% which i’ll happily take. Even if i casually wanted Idunn more for meme theme purposes it’s still a win to get the other focus unit considering the bloated red pull. Plus I appreciate Nah’s mature approach to life. guess i get to have fun with double Bonus Doubler with L!Eliwood now! here’s hoping the Mythic isn’t a must have..

@Ginko Wow your team just cleared the bottom half so fast in the first video! On the other hand, the tin cans sure gave you trouble in the dagger clear, it was a defensive battle when you were cornered in that middle land. Nice job finding the solution though, it helps to have a dagger dancer. @Landmaster These offensive Soiree dancers sure add some firepower to your dancer clears! Phina also got to show her amazing sword. Ninian was brave to start out the map like that! @DLNarshen Oooo, Julia overcoming WTD against Astram sure was satisfying. Julius was dangerously low on HP at one point but he held on. The duo seemed very in control, at least having 2 spare slots means you're not trapped in reinforcements in tight spaces. @Diovani Bressan Wow Saizo sure spread some mayhem straight away! Saizo's Star debuffs are always so amazing to see, I might consider Sol on my Saizo in the future now. @Alexmender Well now, Eirika sure didn't have a problem here. That's one way to ignore reinforcement headaches. Can't really say anything but amazing. @Zeo @daisy jane @mampfoid @NegativeExponents- @SatsumaFSoysoy Astram huh. Name reminds me of a certain special....how about Astram vs Astra Emblem? - Ayra because Regnal Astra. Nagi is the first Astra mythic while Cordelia/Yarne both have Astra in their kits (on the way to learning Galeforce) - Ayra needed full support to one-round the axe armour. Spur Atk and Atk Tactic was just enough to do the damage. She also provides Atk Smoke support later on so she and Cordelia can survive the reinforcements. Had to give her Drag Back to stay away from the lance cav near the end. - Yarne gets to say his special lines today. His -Atk was showing against the lance armour, but the Taguel lives on for another day thanks to his +HP. Turn order was important so he get Atk/Spd solo buffs before I move his teammates next to him. Bunny Fang's cooldown buff is really fun to use for quick Astras (That 157 damage though!!). His Drive Spd was also integral to let Cordelia and Naga double later on. - While Cordelia also had Astra equipped, it's a shame she couldn't unleash it because of the Guard Swordie. She needed Drive Spd support to double that darn sword unit (darn Fury!) and at least TA2 for enough damage. Hit and Run was also a key skill in this map to escape from the melee scramble in the middle of the map, and I was surprised to see her survive the green mage despite taking extra damage from TA. - Naga's flier mobility was really needed in this map- she needed Yarne's Spd Wave buffs and Drive Spd to double the lance flier (otherwise she gets doubled and Moonbowed to death). Atk/Res bond was also needed to survive the red flier mage, and so she can do enough damage to Astram.
