Symphonica

Spent 60 of my 70 orbs hoping to get Olivia for Distant Defense with anyone else being a bonus. Managed to get her in the first session (+res/-def) and a Summer Gaius (+def/-atk) in the next one. I promptly sacked her and merged Gaius with my better nature one. Pretty happy with the result and I am now done on this banner

End of month update~

Not that interested in the new banner so I just got the free summon and then left. Managed to get a Dorcas! He's +spd/-def which is fine by me, I could always do with more 5* axe units

Took quite a few stamina potions but managed to finish all the infernal quests(though I've already forgotten the exact skills I gave units, but I'll try to be correct). Definitely a nice challenge! Cavalry: 5* Xander+1: (summoner support) Siegfried, Reposition, Bonfire, TA 2, QR 3, Hone Cavalry, Panic Ploy 3 Seal 5* Olwen+1: (+atk/-hp) (S support with Xander) Blarblade+, Reposition, Moonbow, LaD 3, Desperation 3, Fortify Cavalry, Spd+3 Seal 5* Cecilia+1: (neutral) Gronraven+, Reposition, Iceberg, TA 3, QR 3, Fortify Cavalry, Distance Defence 3 Seal 5* Brave Lyn+1: (+spd/-def) Brave Bow+, Reposition, Luna, Swift Sparrow 2, Sacae Blessing, Hone Cavalry, Atk+3 Seal Xander was the mvp here. Panic Ploying the cav mag and both cav buffs allows him to tank the sword infantry and KO the 2 green mages on enemy phase. Probably could of put on Vantage, but it worked out in the end. Fully buffed Olwen takes out Xander, Brave Lyn finishes the swordie and then Cecilia blocks the lance infantry. Next turn is just clean up. Infantry: 5* Legendary Ike: (+res/-atk) Ragnell, Reposition, Radiant Aether, Warding Breath, QR 3, Drive Spd 2, Distance Defence 3 Seal 5* Eirika: (+hp/-def) Sieglinde, Rally Def/Res, Moonbow, TA 3, Swordbreaker 3, Hone Spd 5* Spring Lucina: (+atk/-res) Blarblade+, Reposition, Draconic Aura, Swift Sparrow 2, Desperation 3, Hone Spd 3, atk+3 seal (I think) 5* Performing Azura: (+def/-res) Uror, Sing, Moonbow, TA 3, WoM 3, Hone Spd 3 This one took quite a lot of attempts. Ike (with sing buffs from Azura) tanks both the swordie and Xander and KOs the 2 green mages on enemy phase. Buffed Lucina takes out Xander, Azura dances her while blocking the lance infantry and then Lucina finishes off the swordie while Ike retreats. After that, it's just the healer left Armour: 5* Black Knight+1: (S support with Sheena) Aldonite, Pivot, Black Luna, TA 2, QR 3, Hone Armour, Distance Defence 3 Seal 5* Sheena: (+hp/-def) KIller Axe+, Swap, Bonfire, Fortress Defence 3, Lancebreaker 1, Fortify Armour 5* Valentine Hector: (+spd/-res) Berserk Armads, Shove, Ignis, Distant Counter, Vantage 3 4* Effie+2: (+hp/-spd) Silver Lance, Swap, Bonfire, Death Blow 2, Swordbreaker 1, Hone Armour, Quickened Pulse Seal (I think) This one took forever. First few turns is getting into position. Black Knight (with buffs from Sheena and Effie pivots over Sheena to tank Xander, the swordie and KO the 2 mages on enemy phase. Effie moves up one to be behind Sheena and Hector moves behind Effie. The lance Infantry swaps places with Xander. Next turn, Sheena moves left 1 space to KO the lancer while Black Knight moves left 1 space to beat Xander (Black Luna OP). Hector Shoves Effie up 1 space so she can beat the swordie. Effie tanks a hit from the healer. Next turn, Effie swaps with Black Knight who finishes off the healer. Fliers: 5* Halloween Nowi: (+def/-hp) (S support with Valter) Grimoire, Reposition, Iceberg, Fury 3, Desperation 3, Hone Fliers, QR 3 Seal 5* Summer Corrin: (+def/-res) (S support with MInerva) Blarblade+, Reposition, Moonbow, LaD 3, Desperation 3, Goad Fliers, Atk+3 Seal 5* Minerva: (+spd/-res) Hauteclere (special refined), Reposition, Moonbow, LaD 3, Escape Route 3, Fortify Fliers, Spd+3 seal 5* Valter: Cursed Lance, Repositon, Bonfire, Darting Blow 3, WoM 1, Goad Fliers This one also took a lot of tries as well and it was the only one where I started with the left side of the map. First turn is moving into position, MInerva moves into the safe space below Xander, with Corrin to her right, Valter below her and with Nowi to the right of Valter. Next turn, Valter Repositions Minerva up so she can take out the lancer. Nowi repos Valter to safety. Next turn, Corrin takes out Xander and with Goad Fliers support, Nowi can take out the swordie while blocking and tanking the 2 mages. Minerva escapes routes to safety. Next turn is clean up. Nowi moves left 1 to take out the cav, Corrin moves next to her to take out the healer and Valter uses WoM to warp next to Corrin to take out the infantry mage and finish the map

I am now part of the free summon club!~ Managed to get a +atk/-def Ninian from the TT banner. While I could fodder her off for fortify dragons, I'll probably just merge with my current +res/-def Ninian as I don't use my dragons all that often

Finally got good luck in a seasonal banner! Managed to get both Roy and Hector in 20 orbs. Roy is +def/-res while Hector is +spd/-res which is fine by me. That's me done on this banner, so it's back to saving orbs

Been spending all my orbs on the Hero Fest banner hoping to get Brave Ike/Lyn for fodder. Took me getting a pity breaker Klein (who was promptly sacked for QR3) and getting up to around 7% pity break after that, but I finally got both of them in the same session! Lyn is +res/-atk so I have no issues using her as fodder, but Ike is +atk/-res, so I can't decide whether to merge with my neutral Ike or use the neutral one as fodder. I'll have a think, but now it's back to saving orbs again.

End of the month update!~

140 orbs later and I got Siegbert (+hp/-atk) and Legendary Ike (+res/-atk). Looks like I got @Rezzy'd this time around. Still happy I got them as they are new units. Think I'm done with this banner now

Ugh, just got my 3rd pity breaker on the new years banner with a -atk Merric. I think I'm just going to stop summoning on the banner now and start saving orbs again

100 orbs on the New Year's banner got me a pity breaker Leon (+def/-res) He'll probably be Slaying Bow or Guard fodder at some point. I hope I'll be able to get Azura for my flier team before the banner ends, but I have terrible luck with green orbs

End of month/year update

55 orbs later and I managed to get a dupe Sigurd (+res/-hp) and a new unit in Elise! She's +atk/-spd which is good and bad but she's cavalry so -spd doesn't really matter. I would've liked to get the new green cav but I hate pulling greens and I would like to save my orbs for the next banner. Overall, pretty happy with the result this banner

Did a full session on the new banner and got a +def/-atk Raven. I suppose this means I can use this one or my +def/-spd Raven as Brave Axe+ fodder at some point

Went green orb sniping (and as usual, there were hardly any green orbs) for Chrom and 60 orbs in, I get my rate broken by a dupe Shiro (+hp/-res) Can't decide if I want to merge him to my existing Shiro, or use him as skill fodder. I did manage to get a 4* Soleil though Think I'm done with this banner so it's back to saving orbs

Glad they are useful for you! Your Soren has been great though I don't get him very often

Yeah he is pretty bulky and I wanted a bulky cavalier so I decided to build him. I promoted the 4* Joshua to give him Close Defense seeing as I wasn't planning on merging him That seems like a nice build! Yeah, managed to get a +res/-hp so his res is pretty good. Maybe when I don't have any projects to work on, I might build him like this

@mampfoid @DarkLordIvy I've added both of you. Name is Symphonia and current lead is Ephraim though I can change if there is a specific colour or unit (if I have them) you guys want. FC is 8483353835 if anyone else on team Sigurd wants to add me @Hilda I've added you too

I'm probably one of the only people here that have put so much effort into building him, but I've finished building Spring Xander! I love him and love his goofy art so it was worth it. He's basically a weaker cavalry Lukas but he has access to horse buffs. He also used to have summoner support and the Close Defense seal, but I've switched them over to Shiro.

Finishing with a score of 154.8k which will hopefully keep me in the top 5000 as I can't be bothered to grind anymore. Now that this TT is over, it's time for my HM list update. Up to 52 units maxed now thanks to TT but I'm slowly running out of 5* to grind HM for, so I should probably start building the ones I have left soon so that they can be somewhat useful.

Got Shiro in about 30 orbs! He's +atk/-def so I'm debating whether or not to go the Brave Lance build or not. While Siegbert and Soleil would be nice, I have no orbs left and I usually get 1 or 2 pity breaker reds before I actually get the focus unit I want so I'm done with this banner

Just pulled Spring Xander (+res/-hp) which is fine by me but I would of liked +def for extra tankiness. Already spent the feathers to teach him the skills he needs so just need to grind the SP. I have 16 orbs left, but I think I'll give up on Spring Camilla seeing as when I was sniping for Xander, no green orbs ever appeared

End of month update

I feel ya. 180 orbs later and the only 5* I got was Bride Cordelia. Good news is that see is a new unit for me and has great IV's (+spd/-hp) but I was hoping to get more than 1 5* with that amount of orbs. Only have 7 orbs now and also at a 10.5% rate like you. Gonna scrounge up the rest of the orbs from book 2 and hopefully get my rate broken so that I can start saving orbs again as I really want Shiro Edit: welp got Genny (+def/-atk) why? so I am officially done with this banner. I just wanted Spring Camilla and Spring Xander but looks like it wasn't meant to be

Gotta go fast Honestly, I'd love to pull for more Brave Roy merges, but I'm saving all my orbs for the legendary banner
