Bully! :( I'm president of the 3* garbage club though.

3* Niles from my free DB banner pull.. I have yet to get lucky from these free pulls. They're usually whatever the worst 3* of their color is.. I just pulled on colorless hoping for a 4* Kagero or something.

A +spd -res Camilla. She was incredibly useful early on and carried me through a lot of things, including Narcian's original GHB. She was my main and best green until I got Spring Camilla. She doesn't get fielded much anymore, but I still have her and may eventually make her into a DC/Emerald Axe build so she's more usable in the current state of things.

Watch them get insane skills to boost their draw.

This would make me spend more orbs than a banner with actual new characters. HINOKA COME HOME

I think I'm gonna have to try something else for defenses this week. Still sitting at 0 right now despite the same B Lyn/Olwen/Xander/Camus team I ran last week that got 5 defenses. Defenses feel so fickle. I wish I owned a good Reinhardt solely to help secure defenses more consistently. Running horse teams without him (or a good Cecilia) seems really hit or miss for me, but since Lyn's the bonus unit this week I don't see much better to go for.

Sure there are. Rowan, Lianna, axe Lissa, bow Sakura, tome mounted Elise, and that other guy that seems to be friends with the MCs. It'd be a first to introduce variants on existing characters outside of a limited seasonal banner, but it could happen. They could also mix Rowan and Lianna in with Chrom and possibly another character to make a full banner too. Chrom is heavily focused on after all. Alternatively, they could also just have banners for some of the existing characters that are in warriors. But either way I think there will absolutely be some kind of banner related to Warriors.

Elincia absolutely. She's amazing in general as a red unit, and really gives fliers some more punch in the red department. Nephenee's good too, but I wouldn't say she's a big deal to get unless you like her enough too. I want her for her great art, but I'll probably pass in favor of saving for future banners, sadly. Oscar's not a bad pull either as objectively the best offensive stat blue lance cavalry now.

Beautiful! Good to see another fan of best girl~

Oh how I feel this one. For me, what I'm REALLY looking for, in order: Hinoka Brave Lucina Lucina (regular) Kagero Delthea Elise (regular) Reinhardt, non -atk... HINATA. PLEASE I'VE NEVER EVEN GOTTEN A SINGLE 3* ONE, I NEED FURY FODDER Ones that would be nice to get: Ninian Amelia Nephenee (I could try pulling for her right now but I got Elincia already and want to save for Halloween..) Tana Celica Katarina Julia Nowi with IVs that don't suck. I've only ever gotten 2 of her and both have been bad.

Got my 8k feathers, and I farmed a fair bit of HM when grinding too. Hope these mini TTs remain a thing, if not take over regular ones. 1 week is much less exhausting and faster rewards makes it feel like less of a drag at the later ones.

CYL I kinda shrugged it off since the CYL units were supposed to be a big deal, and it made sense for them to be better than usual. (plus they even gave everyone one free) But yeah, this banner being pretty OP too is a little worrisome. Elincia is an absolute monster. As people predicted, she's basically a red Cordelia. My +atk -def one is smashing everything in the face. I'm even tempted to give her Galeforce so I can basically run a red and blue Cordelia together in multi-map modes. I used the custom feature of the calculator to put her in and she doesn't get too big of a boost from having Draconic Aura/Luna, so it might be okay. Granted Galeforce isn't something for area play, but for TT and CCs I'm in love with it on my Cordelia, so it might be nice to have. Is there any reason to use Palla and Caeda now? With how good Elincia's stats are they seem officially dead. At least Zephiel is a better wall than BK, so he's not completely second rate now. And same here about Oscar. I really like Peri both as a unit and character-wise, so it's a bummer she's outclassed now. I'll still use her anyway, even if I get an Oscar, though.

WOW, I got, if the wiki is correct, a +atk -def Elincia after spending about 20 orbs. Nothing to note from the other pulls, just 3* Firs and junk, but I'm not complaining. I'd like Nephenee too but I think I'll wait until the end of the banner and see what the inevitable Halloween announcement holds, as well as maybe a Warriors banner. I want her, but not at the cost of having no orbs for Halloween stuff if it looks good. But wow, maybe the game felt bad for me after the travesty that was the CYL banner.

I find the simulator just gave me false hope.. I used to test my luck with it too, but now I know it'll just taunt me by getting what I want in 50 orbs while I end up with 200 orbs in the actual game to get nothing..

A -spd one? Peace brother, I just got a -def +res Ike after 200+ orbs trying to get Lucina to no avail. I think that's probably his worst nature. RNG hell is basically my home now.

Maybe axe Lissa as a first non-seasonal variant unit? I mean that'd be kinda neat, though I don't think I'll hold my breath on them adding her like that. Edit: Oh I forgot about archer Sakura and tome Elise too. Maybe 1 banner would have the Warriors varient units, and the other would have he 2 MCs plus that other new guy they revealed recently. (some guy with dark hair, but I don't think he's even playable) Masked Lucina with no skills was indeed annoying, but after Clive and Tobin I'm not very worried. And Lucina was a copy of an existing unit, so maybe they made her blank to not totally piss off people who pulled for regular Lucina. Clive and Tobin were both actual new units and didn't get that treatment, plus even if he comes with crappy skills off the bat like they did we'll just be fully SI'ing him anyway. Going by Masked Lucina I'd guess we'll see more copies of him in a future mini TT or something, so I don't see much issue. And yeah the bloating 5* pool is kinda concerning. It feels increasingly hopeless to try and get a 5* unit that doesn't get banners often. (or something just missed like CYL Lucina..)

Yeah it seems like they're really just doing whatever they feel like at this point. I'm curious how weird banners will be for when Warriors comes out too. It seems basically confirmed at this point.

Not sure why everyone's so disappointed by only 1 banner of 3 units. That + BK from the next TT is 4 total, and since it's an older game I didn't except a big dump of units like for Echoes. Echoes getting multiple banners made more sense since they were still in the phase of both promoting and milking the new game. And aside from not being interested in him, I wish they had picked somebody who could be green or colorless over Oscar, since having him spook Nephenee orbs and only red + blue being worthwhile this banner is a bit annoying.

Man Nephenee's art is amazing, and Elincia looks like a great alternative over Caeda or Palla for a red flier. Too bad I'm so low on orbs, and Halloween is right around the corner..

Yoo, let me second this one. I've wasted so many orbs, and some money, for not a single CYL unit and only 2 5* on the set that broke my pity rate. (Cordelia and Effie)

I can't even keep track of the numbers anymore. I think basically everyone was still hoping for a Animal Crossing, FE, or Pikmin hint to get dropped in there. There were people making AC merchandise pentagrams on twitter (again) praying for something. Still no FE info/trailer makes me wonder if it'll be later than Spring for it to come out. Either way the direct was very disappointing, so not many Nintendo games vying for my wallet for the rest of the year.

Nothing for Heroes. Was really hyped up expecting some kind of FE18 info but no mention of it. All there was FE-related was Lyn for Warriors. (and Caeda seen in the background, that Spanish LE box seems 100% legit now)

Shout out to Nintendo for today's disappointing direct helping my justify having spent money on Heroes. "There's no new games to buy anyway."

I'm getting my butt kicked by Robin's Infernal. Even Brave Lyn or Cordelia can't carry it thanks to that red bowbreaker mage. Edit: Well I ended up easily beating it when I stopped trying to use Lyn or mages (besides Tharja). Cordelia(regular) and Peri ended up saving the day. Peri confirmed best cav

Now to wait for 13/14 with even more turn limits! :^)
