oooh MarMar.
LOL i understand what you mean. usually after a good legendary there's something really intriguing right around the corner.!
what did you want? Altina?All of them to be fair, although I wanted the girls a little bit more because no-dragon weakness dragon is great (and Sothis works super well in Chain Challenges when I need orbs), and Altina looks super fun to use.
Not must-haves right now admittedly, technically I could wait next year for Sothis since I casually want L!Eirika for a theme team, too.
-
@Alexmender Ooof wow Altina's offense sure is spicy. Great one turn clear, mampfoid would've been proud lol
@Zeo @Landmaster @mampfoid @Ginko @DLNarshen @SatsumaFSoysoy @daisy jane
So it took a while until I could get a team of 3H characters, but here we are finally! Technically I could have promoted Death Knight but uhh..don't need another lance cav right now.
Team is +Atk/-Res Sothis, +Def/-Spd Male Byleth, +HP/-Def Mercedes and neutral Kronya.
Music is The Apex of the World from Fire Emblem: Three Houses
-Mercedes was a really important partner to Sothis in this map, providing not only needed healing but her Res Wave and Drive Atk made sure she could beat all those enemies in the first turn! She also had to clutch tank with Miracle when cornered, then used that low health for more healing!
-Sothis herself showcases how nice her base kit is. Sirius healing + Wrath is a nice combo. Had to make sure enemy Sothis's Atk/Spd solo was deactivated when it was Sothis vs Sothis though so my Sothis wouldn't get doubled.
-Byleth just needed a little oomph in Atk to deal with the axe cav on the first turn, hence the Fierce Stance. Chill Spd also kept the healer distracted for a while. Meanwhile, Kronya (who somehow helps this team), showcases how nifty her Vantage dagger is. While I don't have CC, her base kit is good enough for those mages. She did need an extra HP/Atk boost though to survive the bow cav.
-
EDIT: never mind connection issue.
actually to be on topic, used a green orb on Link skills banner to try and fix my -Spd Kaden (although I kind of want Adrift Camilla/Nina).
No kaden but I got my first 4 star Python, who I immediately merged to my +Spd/-Atk Python to finally fix his bane!
-
@Zeo 'Eyy congrats on the Altina! Awesome that you got her without going double digits!
@mampfoid @daisy jane @Landmaster
As for me, despite knowing I should wait for the Feh channel, I went back to the legendary banner on my main to get any of the reds, since i had none of them.
With 17 orbs, I pushed my luck with 2 red orbs in the circle, first red gave me a +Atk/-Def Legendary Marth!
While he maybe the least desirable compared to the other two reds, I've always casually wanted him and more dragonslayers are always a plus for me! Great boon, too!
Second red orb was a Cain (how fitting to follow his liege.). Tried a blue but that was just a Cordelia.
Gonna try and resist trying again at least until we get news on what's in store for the update. I better not get too greedy.
-
Mathilda yes!!! Finally, please be good so you can be like your Echoes self!
Also excited about Arthur, would like him to have a nice niche with his prf!
-
@daisy jane I just want her to use since I like her and her design. And also for that niche of finally having a unit to counter Dazzling/Firesweep in my barracks, even if there are better users of it. Even if I would have gotten a bad nature, at least I can use her until a random dupe pops up.
-
...I hate this game sometimes.
grinded 20 orbs. either only 1 blue orb, or none at all.
Then I grew impatient and YOLOed with only 5 orbs and...
...all blue circle... *eye twitches*
got an Est.
Alright Nailah, I get it I'll stop now.
...at least I got a Shanna on one of the blue-only circles...

Thanks!
Also congrats to your pulls, you got your 5*s really early.
+ATK Lyn is perfect, with her Brash Assault she shouldn't care about SPD, right?
Oh that's true, thanks! I can work around that. I was thinking too much about the Galeforce aspect. Well whenever I get to refine her weapon anyway heh.
-
@mampfoid WOW that's a great haul! Congrats!
So I only had 24 orbs in my main and 17 orbs in my second account when the banner went live.
Firstly my main. I want any of the reds since I have none of them. Or Bride Fjorm. Julia or a Tiki merge would be nice but not a priority.
First circle gave me Bonfire galore (Robin and Adult Tiki). Picked colourless in case Fjorm (and I also want Tethys/Chad) but got a +Atk/-Res Duma! Awesome superboon and my second Duma (first was +Res/-HP). Then I proceeded to get nothing after and after doing the LHB, and GHB orbs my last circle was a single Raigh (red orbs were scarce...)
Then on my second account, I wanted flying Fjorm (mostly for chances of Chad actually). Altina would be nice but already have Marth and Sothis. On my thrid circle sniping red/colourless I got...Duma as well! My first one, so I can finally have reduced lift loss for this account, and funnily, he is +Res/-HP like my first Duma in the main account.
Pretty much done with legendary for the second account- I wanted to try for Nailah yet again after getting LHB orbs.
First circle, 3 greens no blues.... picked bottom right and got a +HP/-Def Nagi!?! Well, at last I finally got a focus unit and she's new!
Farmed more orbs, tried again. 3 reds, 2 colourless. Picked top right red and... +Atk/-Spd Lyn!?!?!? I never got OG Lyn before, great boon but meh bane. Oh well at least nice to have her. (Really sorry @Zeo, I wish I could pass her on because you really wanted her so bad)
Really wanted to try at least one blue orb to ease my mind. Another circle, 4 reds and 1 colourless... picked left red and... +Spd/-Res Male Byleth!?! Well, there's the other focus unit, and with a great boon like that I can fodder off my current +Def/-Spd one now.
but yeah...too late in the night to farm more orbs. Nailah is really playing hard to get all year round. Still, three 5 stars in a row all at 3% is kind of crazy...and it's not even the mythic banner!
-
Team Barst woo
15 hours ago, Ice Dragon said:I wish Rinkah were in the game. She'd've fit in just fine here.
I also wish Caineghis were in this, if only to see him on a banner instead of Barst and Hawkeye sharing colors with the 5-star exclusives.
I feel like Tibarn would fit more if we had to have another beast
Rinkah would've been so perfect. If we had more 3H characters, Raphael would fit right in the Muscle Festival, too. Also Muscle Festival is such a good name for it, shame it didn't carry over in English

OOOOOOO. MYRRH BEAN
(I'd chide you for not merging her right away, but then I remember that i had like one myrrh booked and i was trying to figure out a reason to fodder my (wait for it. +def/-spd Myrrh) because she self-suicided all the time and was slow and was just meh. (aka: I was dumb and I didn't realise what Fury did, and didn't realise to unlock Myrrh's true power she needed DC). Hrid died for a worthy dragonwaifu.
I'd just fodder the null to be honest w/you.
(I have to be biased. Bride Fjorm is so nice to have. she's been very helpful for me in Astra season). if you can score some orbs i do hope you can try to get her.Hmm trying to figure out if there's a dragon that wants bot NFU and Hone Dragons.
Maybe if I get a Fallen Corrin I guess.
If I get another Myrrh then I'll merge her all lol. But yeah she really needs DC to shine but it sure works great for her.
-
@Zeo Oh dang, sorry for no Nailah but F!Berkut is kind of fun to use and has nice synergy with Desperation/Vantage/Brazen users. +Res is interesting for a lance cav heh.
Well you're not the only one who wavered. I seem to slip whenever I expect a trailer and it doesn't show. Smart, I know.
@mampfoid @daisy jane @Landmaster
Well I got my 2nd pitybreaker in the Nailah banner, but I guess 3.25% isn't too bad. Circle had 4 blue orbs (finally a good amount). Got a +Atk/-Res Cordelia, +Atk/-Spd Shigure, my first Valbar (neutral) and.... +Atk/-Spd Adrift Male Corrin. I mean...he does have a Null skill.. so close yet so far.
At least he actually has nice fodder, already have a +Spd/-HP one and while +Atk sounds nice, that requires merging the fodder and Null Follow-up usually means you want more speed. IDdn't hvae enough orbs to open the last green but oh well. Now 0 orbs but I think the only unit I would've wanted in the legendary is maybe Bridal Fjorm which..I can live without really.
Then I tried in my main account, I kind of still want Gerik out of favouritism because I haven't broken a pity yet. First circle had no greens, then the next circle had 1 green which is.. +HP/-Res Myrrh. Huh...technically it is a Sacred Stones character, this game can be funny sometimes. My 3rd copy of her, and same as my 2nd Myrrh who I haven't merged yet. Then I find out she doesn't even get a +1 Def until the 4th copy which is kind of...annoying (why is Def the lowest lvl 1 base stat?). Until I get a 4th Myrrh I guess the extra Myrrhs are in limbo since removing the -Spd from +Def Myrrh isn't a priority.
But yeah game is being quite ironic tonight lol. Funny how both 5 stars have Hone Dragons.
-
@Ginko Oooh congrats! Looks awesome. Hope you get a Nailah soon, too.
-
Ooof. Now I remember why I like legendary banners better.
Got pitybroken on the DC banner by +HP/-Spd Olwen on a single blue orb while going for Nailah. Yet again Nailah eludes me.
Instantly booked her out of frustration since I already had one built....but then I remembered straight after that my current one is +Def/-Res and +HP may have been a little bit better for her in the long run since Life and Death lowers her Def anyway....
....ah well.
May this story help you save orbs @Zeo! lol
edit: well on the other hand... I decided to try for Igrene on my main to get my summoning salt out of my system.
Got a +Spd/-HP Karla instead. I'll take it, but wow that's my 4th Karla and my 3rd +Spd one. Better than the current -Def one or first -Atk one. Wut.
-
14 hours ago, Zeo said:
@BoaFeroxRoss didn't really do much but a little chip damage against Cormag, but he tanked that Ignis nicely. Jealous of the +ATK one you pulled but I don't know if I'd swap my +SPD one out now. It'll be a hard decision to make down the line. Assuming he's not like Matthew and I just never pull a +ATK one ever.
I think I'll stick with the +Atk superboon since that's something that separates him from Echidna, and I feel like it's better to have +4 Atk naturally and have a +3 Spd refine for a weapon. (especially since refining for +Atk isn't really that great)
-
@Zeo @Landmaster To be fair, I didn't give Silque a Wrathful refine yet, so she could've done a lot more. Ad yeah poor Tobin, a lot of clears he is just a Drive/Spur bot sometimes and since this map wasn't the most challenging he really didn't get to do much. Oh and Alm just outshines the rest of the team too much lol.
-
@Zeo Oooh congrats on the Nah! It's funny how the game works, gives you things that you don't expect but when you want a specific unit on a banner that's when the game decides to be stingy.
I'm sort of paying for that Igrene now, blue stones were rare and no Nailah so far. Did get enough Silas to theoretically +10 him I guess i I were that type of person, but there were just so many 3 stars. Decided to dip in CC out of impatience but only got a pityrate, I think I'll just wait for TT. Or not even try too hard since the game will withhold units that I specifically want when I'm in desperation mode..
-
@DLNarshen
Oh hey a Silas!Quick clear but hey, Julia tanking both ranged cavs were impressive (espeically the archer). Julius gets to show his new toy in the second half, and hey a serpent is close enough to a dark dragon tome. Looking forward to more fun with his new tome.@Diovani Bressan Sometimes I forget how tanky Fjorm can be with Ice Mirror!
@Landmaster Flexing staffs now I see. Vantage blade strats too strong!
@Zeo I see that Ross! Nice to see the trainees together with Lute. Amelia may have started the map but I like how Ross shined near the end. Looking forward to see more true damage goodness from him!
@mampfoid @daisy jane @Ginko @Alexmender @SatsumaFSoysoy
So one of my fave SS units is here! And I managed to get a Gerik, and I noticed both him and Cormag have a face scar so...here's a team with that same theme!
Team is +Atk/-Def Brady, +Def/-Spd Gerik, neutral Cormag and +Def/-Res Tibarn
Music is Esaka Continues from the King of Fighters XIII
- GF Tibarn is such a force. Sturdy Impact + Chill Atk helped him surive against Cormag's special while his 3 move helped in sniping some pesky threats to the rest of the team.
- Gerik maybe -Spd, but he still had some nice bulk as he tanked enemies in the middle of the map. Infantry Pulse also made sure Brady would survive enemy Cormag with a well-timed Miracle (and Restore to immediately add to the Miracle counter). With Brady's Infantry Rush, Gerik's specials would charge really fasti
-Cormag himself had to equip Iote's shield to keep the bow cav busy for a while while getting his Ignis charged. I would've liked a Cormag vs Cormag fight but he was to preoccupied in his role.
---
Next is a more proper SS clear!
Team is +Spd/-Res Ross, neutral Cormag, neutral Marisa and +Def/-Spd Myrrh.
Music is Rise Above from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
- Because of the enemy's Chill Def, Myrrh had to get Def Tactic and Drive Def boost so the bow cav won't double her.
- Cormag had to get Atk+3 SS to make a clean kill against the red mage flier and swordie.
- Ross had to unequip Brave Axe so he doesn't get doubled by Cormag. Steel Axe has the same might as Brave Axe+ anyway! Also yes I couldn't decide on a special for him yet (although I did get a +Atk one so that will be the new base. Still indecisive about weapon though).
-------
Lastly is a fun theme that I noticed while looking at Gerik's 'Desert Tiger' title.
Team is +Def/-Spd Gerik, +Atk/-Res Abel, +Atk/-Def Caineghis and +Spd +1 Ranulf.
Music is Tiger and Dragon from the King of Fighters XIV
- All units are related to big cats in their titles ('Desert Tiger' Gerik, Abel 'the Panther') or are big cats as their beast form (Caineghis the Lion and Ranulf as a Cat Laguz)
- Caineghis continues to be an enemy phase beast with DD4 and his weapon, making short work of the ranged cavs.
- Abel needed to bait the red units and keep the armorslayer swordie away from the lion king.
- Ranulf shows off his nice bulk, tanking Cormag's Ignis like nothing. He and Gerik team up to take down the remaining fliers, with Gerik providing the extra Atk damage that Ranulf lacks.
-
@Landmaster Cheeky clear, I liked the Flash antics. The fact Faye couldn't counterattack sort of mimicked how she couldn't counterattack if she had Firesweep Bow, so that was funny.
@Zeo @mampfoid @Alexmender @SatsumaFSoysoy @Ginko @daisy jane @DLNarshen
Well this is a backlog but hey, when you have the Echoes units, I have to oblige with Echoes clears!
First is Ram Village Emblem!
Team is +Spd/-Def Legendary Alm, +Atk +1 Gray, neutral Tobin and +Spd/-HP Kliff
Music is Wilderness Policeman from Garou: Mark of the Wolves
-Faye was a little bit too eager to face Legendary Alm at the start! Alm mostly softened the tanky units up for his villager friends. Kliff finishes OG Alm while Tobin gets to flex his armorslaying skills to finishoff the tin can. Gray had fun showing off his anti-cav weapons in this map, too.
---
Now for an all-female clear- here is a 'Rescued by Alm' club clear!
Team is +Spd/-Def Clair, +Res/-Def Silque, +Atk/-Def Delthea and +Res/-Def Celica.
Music is The Sacrifice and the Saint from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
- Alm sure saves a lot of damsels in distress, and this is how they thank him (for siding with Faye for this map?) Again, Faye was a little bit too eager, this time trying to attack her rival Celica. A bit impressed she survived Ragnarok though. Celica then proceeds to deal with Alm in a flash.
- Clair's Guidance shenanigans was quite fun to use in that forested area and also provides a needed melee role against the Res-tanky units.
-
Late video time!
Have some Karla and other mothers battle against father & daughter!
@Zeo @mampfoid @DLNarshen @SatsumaFSoysoy @Alexmender @Landmaster @daisy jane @Ginko
Team is +Def/-Spd Karla, +Atk/-Def Adrift Mikoto, +Res/-Atk Deirdre and neutral Ethlyn
Music is The Days When My Mother Was There from Persona 5
-Got a pitybreaker Karla a few days before this rerun, so this clear was kind of perfect so she teamed up with other tragic mothers. Unfortunately Karla's IVs weren't great, but I made her +Def work for this one with some Drive support. Could've finished it faster without the specific seals but I wanted Karla to battle her family
-Deirde was the perfect unit to bait the ranged fliers. She only needed Warding Stance so the red mage flier won't KO her and attack Mikoto instead. My original clear had her finish off Fir with a Glacies proc after Pain support from her sister-in-law Ethlyn, but again I fit Karla should've fought her daughter
-
Ah, super late but I realised I forgot to post my clears of this battle during the rerun, it was a busy time.
Firstly, @DLNarshen - Julius tanked Rutger like nothing! Nice decision to deal with him straight away, so you could be freer with how you tackle the map. Music had some nice pace to keep the momentum going.
@Zeo @mampfoid @Landmaster @Alexmender @daisy jane @SatsumaFSoysoy @Ginko
Firstly is a clear of some of my favourite units.
Team is +Def/-Res Silas, +Spd/-Res Owain, +Atk +1 Shiro and +Atk +1 Gray.
Music is Master of Tartarus from Persona 3
Just a clear with some of my favourite characters against an edgy Sacaean swordsman.
-With double Steady Stance, Silas has so much defense that the axe units actually go the opposite direction!
-Shiro's QR made short work of Rutger- can't worry about Vantage when you can just enemy phase the swordsman!
-Gray needed Def +1 to survive taking all those hits- otherwise the Brave Axe flier would exactly KO him. Feels good to flex his Zanbato against the green cavs though
---
Here is a Silver Emblem clear (feat. the Silver Nobleman, Silver Knight and the Silver-haired Maiden)
Team is +Atk/-Res Klein, +Def/-Res Seth, +Res-Spd Micaiah and neutral Brave Micaiah.
Music is Way of the Overlord from Samurai Shodown 2019
-Brave Micaiah makes her debut in the Silver Emblem team while Dancing Micaiah rests her dancing feet. Ground Orders mobility really makes positioning funner and easier. She also has great synergy with Klein's Chills and also Seth's Tactics.
-Swordbreaker helped Klein and Micaiah quickly take out pesky fast swords in a flash, while Seth's gem weapon made short work of the greens in the final rounds. Exact KO on the last axe was a nice touch.
---
Lastly, here is a showdown of Sacaean ladies (and Ninian) against Rutger.
Team is +Spd/-Def Karla, +Atk +1 Legendary Lyn, neutral Brave Lyn and +Def/-Spd Ninian.
Music is Fading Cherry Blossoms from Samurai Shodown Warrior Rage
-Feels good to finally use a non -Atk Karla, although she's still frail so I had to be smart on when to use her to attack. Had to be quite offensive with Ninian dancing support since getting trapped would be a disaster in this map. Ninian herself had to tank some hits and make a chokepoint to delay the reinforcements while both Lyns sniped at their enemies. L!Lyn in particular was impressive with the amount of wins she had, even if she needed Lancebreaker in the early turns.
-
@Zeo Oooh congrats on Lugh, shame about -Atk but at least you got the only focus 5-star locked unit in the banner so that's still a win.
@mampfoid @daisy jane @Landmaster
So uhh...I had saved up to at least 42 orbs last week but...I was rather bored in the weekend waiting for content so I decided to try for Gerik to try and at least get a 5 star from the SS banner.
Didn't really get anything in my main sadly, so I wasted most of that stash.... In my second account though, first green I got netted me a +Def/-Spd Gerik! Makes up for the lack of Ross, and hey I like the character and art and he has Darting Blow 4 so I can work around the -Spd.
Then came the Lyn/Hector banner. No Hector but my second account free summoned my first Ross at +HP/-Def!
Now the FE6 banner dropped and I thought too myself, finally a skippable banner!......but then I had no red orbs in the first circle for my main account.
Funny thing is all my first few summons in the new banners were all Fe6 units (Cecilia, Fae, Roy)
..I wanted to at least get a chance of a red bow, but I also kind of want Echidna even if she'd demote. Red was actually rare so now down to 3 orbs, but at least I got a +Atk/-Def Ross out of it- right after I 5-starred my +Spd one, so guess I'm switching to the superboon straight away. So annoyed at those two blue/colourless-only circles in a row though...
On the bright side, my second account had red orbs at least. But again, my OCD for completing the coloured bow set meant I summoned more than I planned. After about 30+ orbs, I at least got my second Ross (+HP/-Res, a better one to promote than +HP/-Def and is also a superboon) and finally a +Spd/-Res Igrene!
Well at least something came out of the impromptu orb-spending. So much for my Nailah stash 1 day before the DC banner, but getting new unit types are always nice.
-
@Zeo Yeah having the fodder but not having the heart to go through with it can be a bit..frustrating (?) at times, I know I'm super indecisive about these things, too. I would give Bold Fighter to a ranged armour though at least (I say that but I still hadn't had the heart to give my spare Bector to Jakob yet..)
Good luck in the saving though! Tellius banners still have a good chance of appearing because of untapped beast units, and who knows maybe Edward would randomly come in a banner with Volug or something lol.
My goal is to get Caspar/Sylvain for Three houses but I kept doing some bored summons (like today) just because of lack of content/emotional summoning lol. Luck can swing one way one day, and the other on another but as long as I get new units, it's fine for me as a casual collector. I just hope you get your faves when they drop, it hurts to see people save up so much orbs only for them not to get one (especially if it's red hell..). Would it please you if they become free TT/GHB units?
At least Caspar isn't too popular so whenever he shows up I might get a decent stash by then...(or hopefully he is injected straight to 3* or 4*)
-
@Zeo Oh dang, sorry to hear about the results, but at least it sounds like Ross would really appreciate that DC!
Also ugh at the wrong Sacaean swordie
Lacking the colour you want is a really annoying problem though, really hope you at least get some Lyns when you come back
Bound Hero Battle: Titania and Mist
in Heroes War Room
Posted
Bit late but I had some fun themes in mind.
@Zeo @daisy jane @Alexmender @DLNarshen @mampfoid @Ginko @Landmaster
Firstly, since Brunnya debuted, people were saying how she reminded them of Sonya/Ishtar. So why not make a team of these purple-themed mages?
Team is neutral Brunnya, +HP/-Atk Sonya, neutral Ishtar and +Res/-HP Soiree Ishtar
Music is Destiny from the King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match
- Brunnya needed QR and Ishtar's Drive Atk and Atk Wave to start the map. She didn't fear Panic Ploy because of Fimbulvetr, which has an awesome animation by the way.
- Sonya needed Brunnya's Res smoke to finish off the blue mage without getting hit by a special while Soiree Ishtar needed a speed boost to..err..triple-hit Titania and her massive Res. S!Ishtar quadding Mist to push past Miracle was kind of fun.
---
And now for some Tellius seasonals againsts a Tellius BHB- with an obligatory V!Titania vs Titania!
Team is neutral Valentine's Titania, +Def/-HP Summer Elincia, neutral Halloween Rolf and +Atk/-Def Halloween Mia
Music is Vs Iris Theme from Pokemon Black and White 2
- Titania starts out with a Bladetome bomb, then retreats to let Elincia take the stage against the blue mage. Titania's Swap + Link combo shines in this map, as the girls had to retreat in the upper corner while Rolf shoots fliers in the left side.
- Rolf shows off his bulk against the blue archer, and then proceeds to battle with Mist, pushing through her Miracle (although he needed some healing from Mia because of Fury Bow damage)
