I guess Nino could be on the Lugh and Raigh banner, but flying Nino is getting her revival that week IIRC so it is probably indeed Chad. Excited to see if vanilla Wolt can enter the game! Hopefully as the demote too. Thrown in Elfin and Guinevere and I’m a happy camper. Sad we gotta wait longer for SS though... I’m thinking echoes gets the December banner and they will get the Peony/Eir treatment. I suspect Valentia Catria or Est alongside Tatiana, maybe Deen or Kamui, with one of them being insta-drooped into the 3/4 pool to make room for our Book 5 freebie. Only reason I’m saying echoes is cuz I feel like they have the least waifus (lol) and generally speaking smallest “cash bringing” banner potential. Excited for Kliff’s return - hope I get lucky!

Fairy outfits I’m taking it are supposed to represent characters with a longing for the past? I know that Eirika and Lucina both fit the bill of dreaming of how things used to be for them and chasing after that dream. But yes... Lucina’s concept... VERY good - fairy is awesome. But... she shouldn’t look that small... at all...

Oop! After my last post yesterday, I spent 10 orbs after completing my first few rounds of the TT — got my first 4* Zihark at -Atk +Spd, and the very next stone was a -Atk +HP Duo Lyn!! I got the two I wanted!! Except those IVs... are oof... Oh well, I’m happy! I’ll promote Zihark eventually (it only took 4 months for Summer Life, so I hope it’s quicker this time lol), and Lyn will always be strong regardless. I can now save the rest of my orbs for Kliff in a few days...

Oof. I wanted 1 Zhiark amongst Navarre and the Duo. i got: -HP +Spd Larcei -HP +Res Mareeta -Spd +Atk Idunn -HP +Res Laegjarn instead of a single Zihark in like... 150 orbs? Lol I merged Laeg, and replaced my old Larcei and Idunn with bad IVs with these new copies. The old ones and this new Mareeta all got manual’d. I eventually got a -Spd+Atk Ninja Navarre by the end. I hope my TT orbs bring me good luck!!

Yeah, it was an okay channel. Nothing really stood out to me, but I’m thinking they probably have more next month for the book 5 channel. The chess game... seems a bit better than Frontline, but we shall see. Though the bar is pretty low from last time lol

I am sad we didn’t get a Kaze or a Saizo alt. Lyn and Florina are cute, but I would much rather have had them in like Winter gear (to match that one Cipher card of theirs) than in... Ninja attire? I guess the whole theme of ninjas is kinda meh for me... though being biased towards pirates might have something to do with it 😛 Anyway, Zihark is cool, though seasonal first is always a bit meh. At least he got a GOOD alt like some of the pirate folks did! I hope his fans are happy 🙂 Navarre... ooh, he looks cool! I will definitely try for him. I am also surprised it took THIS long for him to get an alt. About time! TMS Navarre when?! Laevatein... umm... yeah... I don’t like it. She looks weird and her face is very unflattering. It doesn’t really look like her either. Disappointed overall, especially since she’s a rather cool character in my book. I hope the other sister gets some alt love again soon. I just hope her art isn’t as... er, like that. Overall, it’s a cool theme for a banner just like the pirates one was. I wish I enjoyed it a bit more, but alas... will try for the Duo, the 4* (both per tradition) and Navarre.

I am expecting a new video highlighting the start of the new chapter, on top of a final battle video after the new chapter is released by the end of the month. Sort of like the Lif and Alfonse confrontation clip last year. I would love a ninja / assassin themed seasonal. Joshua? Who else? I hope a nice Saizo and Kaze alt... I hope something else new and exciting coming up super soon...

Spent... hmm! 120 orbs? Maybe a BIT more? I got 1 Fallen Male Corrin at -Hp+Def, merged into my +Spd copy and now he is at +2. 2x L Chrom, one -Hp+Res, another -Spd+Res. Both merged into my +Spd copy and now he is +2 as well! And finally... L Dimitri!! ❤️ He came at -Spd+Def which is a big oof. Oh well, I am happy to have gotten him! He reruns next year with Julia, so I will try to patch up the bane then, alongside hopefully picking up my first copy of J.

Ooh... I wasn't expecting Triandra until next year, but dang... she looks like a shoe-in for green because it's SO empty and Hel is still very much shiny and new... I also wouldn't be surprised if we get all 4 of the new Braves showing up as well. They all fit perfectly and they are all pretty desirable still. Hm. Regardless, looks like a relatively easy skip for me. December is far more interesting! But I guess we shall wait until then. I DO wonder what schemes they have planned in order to launch the next Book.

Amazing blue lineup!! Dimitri himself looks incredible as well!!! I love his art here, wish it was a bit more on the... hmmm, sexy side? Haha I love my Male Cornball. My fallen version is +1 right now and I wouldn’t mind merges. Chrom has no merges with his super boon in speed, so any more power will be great. Them Dimitri himself... shooting for one copy of the king ❤️ then I’ll stop! Gotta keep my eyes open for that new seasonal next week. Green is my backup. Lyon merges are always welcome. I already have Edie +1 at +Atk, but I guess more merges wouldn’t hurt. I don’t have any Thrasir so a first copy is happily welcome. Colorless is my third choice only because I STILL don’t have a F Grima. Mystic Boost is also always welcome and Alm would be a happy merge. Red is last for me. I don’t need another Ryoma, my neutral Mirabilis is still serving me just fine, Marth is -Atk +Spd but he does his job perfectly in AA regardless.

I will be joining Rolf! He is probably my fave of this bunch, and I expect him to at least make it to the 2nd round (hopefully), and potentially finals if he does... I don't think the older men are gonna make it to the end, in other words lol. Anyway, I am glad they went with this theme instead of, like, last year v this year's Halloween units.

He looks so adorable!! Resplendent Marth definitely one of the best ones!!!

Hmm, yeah I think the Winter Harmonized will definitely break tradition and be either flying or on horseback. The TT though better be another good armor because I was close to building Jaffar last time.

I literally got this hunch to spend more orbs on the Church banner... I got +HP-Res Shamir and a 4* Seteth... lol. Now I just need Catherine. Is this a lucky banner for me?

Ah... yeah, I don’t like when characters talk to “us.” It’s not good. I would love to have more club-based interactions. Catherine talking to other strong sword wielders, Shamir bonding with the quiet assassins group, Seteth literally doing anything else haha, and Flayn has so many possibilities as well. Oh well...

My tickets got me my first Fallen Tiki AND my first Flayn. No Seteth’s just yet, but I am thrilled with the other two! Both -HP +Spd as well. Tried for H Ilyana for funsies: I got a Dozla after a 4% rate as well as a dupe Fallen Berkut shortly after. Dozla is +HP -Spd lol and Berkut is -HP +Def. Warding Stance... doesn’t seem all that helpful so I might just merge him.

Brady will be done eventually, just need the feathers. I want to 5* all GHB units afterwards. I have just a few book 2 and 1 units left, folks like Ganon and F Robin. Need to give Galeforce to a lot more units, but, again, feathers. I also want to upgrade certain skills like QR2 into 3 on units I use often.

Omg... a run for my money, but I did it. Duo Ephraim +Def - HP - base kit and sturdy stance 3 s seal. He literally babysat the upper left corner and took on everyone who spawned there, including baiting out the Brave lance and knocking out the Trilemma staff before she could wreck her havoc... Mage Eirika +3/+5 refined weapon. She was the second hard carry behind her brother and his boyfriend. She had Atk Smoke 3 in her c slot, Moonbow and swift sparrow 2 as her s seal. She needed some more buffs to take out some enemies, but she did it. Tethys - no merges. The support unit in question! She had wings of mercy to help with Eirika got into desperation range. She had Drive Atk and Atk Tactic just to make sure Eirika had enough fire power. Fallen Lyon - no merges, but +Atk. Yay! He was so helpful. With Triangle Adept 3 and Quick Reposte 3 in his S, he was able to get rid of the archers and like one or 2 of the red mages. He was definitely the mini tank whenever I had to get Eirika out of the way or start working the Ephraim Duo down. Ephraim took out Tiki and survived with 1 HP... lol

As a lot of us expected, but I was thinking more students before church! So a welcome surprise there, but I was hoping for Felix and Marianne to calm their respective fans down a bit. I hope SS is next month to end the book again. I will merge Seteth for sure! That art... it’s Shannan’s artist! Yay! Don’t care for anyone, but Flayn is looking NUTTY with that staff...

Matthew/Hector - Sylvain, L Edelgard, S Byleth, OG Lysithea, all OP so it was super easy! Panne - Shinon, Sothe, B Micaiah and Reyson did interchangeable damage outputs. Super easy! Dominance only helped.

First time going all the way as high I could in the first day! Camilla had her PRF, Mirror Impact and Guidance. Super helpful chip damage M Corrin has Lightning Breath Spd, Atk Res Solo 4, Joint Drive Spd, Rally Atk/Spd+ F Corrin +1 has Glittering Breath Spd, Distant Def 4, Chill Atk/Res 2, Swap, Glacies, Threat Atk/Res 3, Solo Spd Res 3 Xander has Pegasus Carrot Res, Dance Super easy, not bad.

It’s been a minute! Naesala had L Roy, Igrene, S Wolt, Larum as my team. Larum is super helpful, im glad she randomly showed up for me! L Roy was my little tank while Wolt and Igrene collectively sniped everyone. Pretty easy overall. The overlapping ranges on the highest difficulty was the AI’s downfall. Lots of moving, no attacking

I expect TH as well, and as another user already said, I want the hard hitters in so that maybe CYL won’t be filled with too many in the top 10! Felix and Marianne will be nice. I kinda suspect demote Ashe, too, though. His VA did work for Julian, just as Ingrid’s VA did work for both her summer alt and for Lena. It makes sense to me that they booked him to do two voices, and we know how long in advance IS plan for things, on top of how long it can be since a VA records something before it sees the light of day. As for the fourth un it, I don’t care, but I wouldn’t mind Dorothea to knock her out as well, despite the alt. Maybe Linny, because I want Caspar as a future demote. I do want a SS banner more than anything! Give me original Selena GHB, demote Franz, Natasha, Knoll and Vanessa! Echoes would be nice after that. I want Tatiana in the game already, alongside Jesse/Kamui/Deen/Atlas.

Our next Resplendent is Caeda!! Wow, she looks so pretty!! It’s funny because I didn’t think she needed one, but she looks so gorgeous that I’m glad this art exists!!

Hubie and Bernie BHB? Do I spy a TH banner? Also, trailer friday it seems like.. the old Halloween banners are getting reran SO late! Why? New seasonal?? Are we getting harvest part 2? Lol
