The first time I’ve seen something as deplorable:

Fifty bloody speed.

This is only 50 because of the speed boost from Earth blessing she is earning from female Grima. But yeah, her base speed with Fury 3, Spd +3 seal, and +spd boon, is 45 at zero merges.

Well, I might be late compared to a lot of people, but it looks like I can finally join the +10 club. It took many months plus some luck on these 4-5* banners, but she's finally finished!

Feels really nice to actually get something to +10. Especially as a 4*+ unit, which find pretty tough to get the copies of who I actually need. (Nino and Oboro need to stop taking up my 4* pulls) I'm so glad for the modern feather rate and also the 4-5* banners. I got a total of 4 of her between this 4* banner and the last one. Crossing my fingers for Cordelia to be on one sometime(I know I'm not the only one @mampfoid ).

Now she's finally complete, plus she could even see a prf coming her way in the near future, if Leo and Hinoka are anything to go by. Either way, at least she's already monster as it is. I remember being worried about pulling the trigger on my only DC fodder for her since she was seen as mediocre, but boy was it worth it. She's made arena and plenty of other content far easier. Watching her practically 1-turn Ursula's Infernal GHB is still a highlight for me. I'm glad she ended up not just being a project for favoritism, but an incredibly solid unit too.

It's Winter Tharja that gives me the most trouble. I don't have enough strong mages to deal on enemy phase, so if I come across more than a few, I start to have to go for player phase, which can be iffy for me.

I know, I did the math. I mean, I do have a furious +Spd Nino of my own, and she scores 42 Spd without any other investment.

Fjorm and Nowi are probably the most accessible counters, but I admit having Tailtiu, Linde, Delthea and in a pinch Ursula and Bride Caeda means I'm well covered for her.

As for the other ranged armours, Halloween Henry's stats are only a little worse than Lyn's but as I said, Green Tomebreaker is easily accessible (ironically from Henry himself) so building a couple of specialists to counter him is cheap. Jakob is the hardest of them to kill but also has the hardest time killing anyone, so the problem with him is when I can't deal with his allies quickly enough while staying away from him until I can dedicate multiple units to blasting him down.

Sure was convenient for all those 5 stars Camilla laying around.

 

Geez, I could never be that dedicate even to my favorite characters. You guys are just in another plane of existence altogether.

I refuse to use Nowi, so she's out. I do have Fjorm and Linde, currently in service. I think I also can use Oliver, since he's TA3, but I'm not sure. I've also considered Olwen, Mae and Tailtiu but haven't got round to trying them. I also now have Bunny Lucina, so maybe she can help. Reinhardt is also a possibility for player phase, but he's maxed HM. I also have a Florina built for player phase.

Jakob's not too bad for me, since I don't come across him too often and have Lyon, Henry and M!Robin at the ready :)

At least with units in the 3-4* pool it's a more manageable goal, so it's not too crazy. I sure don't think I'd have the luck or money to merge up any 5* exclusives. I'm thankful a lot of my favorites are just 4*+. I think maybe 3 of the Camillas I got came as 5*. (well, 4, but one gave Cherche her axe)

You have a Distant Counter, I could never inherit that from Hector because how rare he is.

 

I guess I should be grateful that M!Robin & A!Tiki were so easy to get despite how bad M!Robin actually is. Even though I still he's under rated.

True. I only went ahead with it since I managed to get an extra of him off-banner while pulling for Tiki last summer. I don't like foddering my only copy of a unit, even for rare skills, unless I really don't care about them. It was a good few months of sitting on him before I finally decided to to go with giving him to her. At least it worked out well, so no regrets.

With recent the refine news, I'm kinda wondering if I should regret the Karel I killed for my Hana, though..

[mampfoid]

@Alkaid Wonderful, congratulations! 

Yep, I was disappointed once again this morning with the 4* banner. If Cordelia won't be in the next one, I'll start to pull for Cherche copies and WoM fodder. 

[Javi Blizz]

I'm glad that there's no Roy or Setsuna in this 4* banner. Knowing that Roy's blade is getting a refinement and that it will probably increase it's ability to +4 Def/Res, I want to merge him. Also, I need a Setsuna for my current project. However, I've currently only 78 orbs and there's a possibility of a banner with Brave Ike not so far (early May's Legendary Banner), so I must save as much orbs as possible. I've even changed my feathers to fully built my recently gotten Rein just to try to get more orbs from ingame content xD

I think this is my main goal in the game: having a 5*+10 unit from a 5* exclusive while being F2P. Only 4 B!Ikes left...

But Steady Breath fodder...

I used to think that too, but after some time deciding who should I give Steady Breath and if I'd really use that unit that much (and facing 5 B!Ikes from the Hero Fest in my barracks) I decided to merge them all. I know that some units really apreciate SB such as dragons or Lukas, but if I never thought I'd have a B!Ike, less about having SB fodder, so I've build my more used units without needing it. And with my units built, I don't think is useful to waste a unit as fodder if I'm not going to use the unit receiving the skill anyways...

That's what I've learnt from my 4*+10 (or was it +9?) Beruka with Slaying Axe+, Close Defense and Quick Riposte 3. Sure, she's cool and I use her sometimes, but not as much as I think would be necessary to justify giving her 2 5* exclusive skills.

True about only some of your units using. But still... It's a great skill. Though it's not my place to tell you what you must do

[Stroud]

Honestly, this time I'm a bit annoyed about the 4* banner. Hinata again? I know that Athena does not have any skills which are of much use. But I permanently speculate if this could be my chance to get my missing merges for her, but she does not show up. I also know that Soleil is a great unit to invest, but again..

That aside, I tried to pull green to get a Camilla with better IV. But I got a Fae, at least one more renewal at my disposal. Thanks to these kind of banner I will give birth to another +10 Camilla before I can get hold of a +10 Athena. 

I admit that I belong to the Camilla section, but I also admit that a +10 Athena is much more awesome, because there is little love shown to her (Partly because Mia is the whale version of Athena if you compare the stats). And I already got some good feedback about my +5 Athena.

[Strullemia]

I hope I'll snatch a 4 star A.Tiki along in the Thracia banner so I can complete my first +10 unit. I've sort of fully built her now and she's pretty good in the arena, she can even somewhat deal well with some blue mages because she has warding breath for now (I don't want to sacrifice my only BIke). No Cavaly/Infantry unit can hurt her so far and it feels so great to see those 0 zero damage hits and even when she can't damage them right away the moment she procs Ignis most stuff dies.

...

Don't mind me, just somewhat gushing about my A.Tiki xD.

So it's been a week or two since I posted and here are my new units/tweaks.

I tried to get Alphonse as much as possible but got 2 Sharena and a pity breaker Sonya ♡.

Sharena works as an excellente support unit, granting max def/res buff, and can serve as pseudo healer with Renewal/Ardent Sacrifice. The last thing she needs is Fury 3.

Hawkeye was recently equipping Death Blow 3 but I preferred doing some tweaks. Hawkeye is the result of me polishing my party, I decided to sacrifice Summer Xander and take advantage of Hawkeye's +HP. In the same way, I gave him Hp/Def from 4☆ Marissa to boost his bulk. I'll need to find a Bonfire/Ignis user to complete his kit. He's also paired with Matthew which grants further bulk to him.

And I'll tag @LuxSpes and I think @mampfoid because I was seeking advice for Cordelia. And here's the result:

  Reveal hidden contents

I was debating whether LnD 3 or Heavy Blade 3, but with my party sweeping I decided to sacrifice Ike (because Vanguard is better, anyways) instead. And she's simply amazing. Fun fact is that while I was sniping for F!Robin I got a Sothe for an extra LnD fodder.

 

Nice! Are you using her with the Quickened Pulse seal to guarantee 1 round Galeforce procs? If not, you should probably give her LaD3 and use the Heavy Blade seal to increase her offenses.

[redlight]

Listen up! Today/tomorrow is International Carrot Day so get your carrot axes and lances ready for the VG!

Yup! I give her QP seal when I use her, and it's wonderful how she wrecks stuff with Hone Fliers and double Goad! She was amazing during Rival Domain maps.

[redlight]

@Alkaid a bit late to say this. But wow. A very competent build and she's fast enough to double slowpokes without goads/hones. Atk is bit low for a +10, but she makes up for this with def ploy and about 26 extra damage from Iceberg. It's kinda sad how units with middling stats can only really show off strengths with DC/CC. Really wish there were more units in the normal summoning pool with those skills and not just Hector and Takumi

Do you think the next banner will be the Thracia one? With Elibean characters getting refines, I wonder if Binding Blade will get a banner first, with Leif and co. joining at the end of April.

[ZeManaphy]

Am I the only one who has trouble uploading photos? Whenever I take screenshots, it says there bigger than 30.72 KB.

I think they won't wait too long with the Thracia banner, it's the only banner (I think?) that they've announced way before release so the 11th April seems like a good date. Not that I would mind if they'll wait till the end of April because that means I'll be able to spend more orbs on the banner.
