There's a Lyn banner right there in my face and I have basically no orbs to spend on it. the CYL banner is dropping tickets into my account like candy, the Valentines banner is unappealing but Conrad is such an easy pull it makes me want to spend and the New Heroes banner is extraordinarily tempting. Nevermind that I don't know what the double special heroes banner will contain. It's hard to regret pulling NY!Alfonse. I'm really enjoying him. Not having those 400 orbs I would have been sitting on is really hurting right now though... maybe I would have blown them on something else? I don't know, but I do know it'll probably be a year before OG Lyn gets another banner. Really blew it this time. If they do a third round of weekly revivals on the same schedule (which we'll find out in about a month), Lyn should get another weekly revival in eight weeks. (And those have significantly better focus rates than BHB banners.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could a Resplendent version exist when the current one is already the pinnacle of perfection? I'm kinda the same with regrets. Feeling pretty jaded at the moment having gone from 701 orbs to, uh, 35, and truthfully not really strengthening my barracks. I really want one merge for Summer Laegjarn who is due to appear soon, whether on the double seasonal banner or the legendary one (prefer the latter probable because the other two units scheduled are great too), but that might be off the menu now.

Make his damaged art the same for all his other arts. I think the thing is for players like us, ones that have been playing the game for a long time now, pulls have to mean more I think. Back in the first few months, every *5 pull was cool, refreshing, amazing and meaningful. Something to get you excited because it likely had an impact on your barracks. Fast forward to now, we realistically have just about everything we need for clearing content. Plenty of powerful units and something for just about any situation. Now any *5 you pull isn't necessarily exciting anymore. It has to be impactful. Either a unit you like, a unit with fodder for one you like, or one that genuinely makes some aspect of the game easier. These things can be hard to come by. With all that said, spending 600+ orbs and not having feeling an impact kind of really sucks. If I was saving that much, It would have to be either for a merge project or so that I can almost guarantee I can pull fodder for favorites whenever I want.

Yeah, Legendary Leif is that unit for me, the only unit released last year with any big impact on how I play. So I figured I'd go for some merges for him since prior to this month he was +1 with a Res boon. Well, now he's +2 with a Res boon, the one copy I managed to summon coming with the even worse Spd boon. Not saying there weren't decent consolation prizes in there of course - statistically there had to have been - but eliminating bad banes from F Byleth and Caineghis, both rarely used units, just isn't all that impactful. (There was also a -Atk Lif, a -Atk Legendary Eliwood, and a -Atk Brave Eliwood out of that bunch of orbs. Figures.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it is only exciting if you get the Focus unit, and sometimes maybe a pity breaker that you really like. In most cases though, I am pretty sure most people do not want to see most pity breakers now. Basically you are either happy or being super disappointed.

Sunwoo Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Don't worry @Zeo, I've been trying to get either Hot Springs Sakura or Ryoma but all I have is a 4.5% pity rate and if the next New Heroes banner has Rath on it, then I don't have enough orbs to get him. And even if he's not on it, I wasted 4.5% worth of orbs on freaking HOT SPRINGS when I should've been saving for Legendary Eirika at the end of this month. I regret everything.

Tybrosion Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Obligatory reminder that my time on the Genealogy banner ended with this breaking a 4.50% rate and without a single focus unit being attained: Spoiler And now fast forward to the present and you’ll find that I have this: Spoiler My luck when actually spending orbs on a regular banner has been catastrophically bad lately.

I’ve only done masked marth, partly because I like Lucina and partly because of all the free copies I’ve gotten. I want to do one of the TT boys (Leo, Itsuki, Rolf), but the amount of extra copies a GHB gives make those seem more tempting lol. I might do Xander just cuz I have so many copies of him as well.

It's also pretty much impossible for it to be a purely Lyn route banner since there are no female characters left to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the contours of Celica's hair very nicely frames Oliver's face. I am not sure if Azura's hair and hat thingy would look as nice on Oliver though. Thanks!
