4* SR Special Ticket #1: Ballroom Reinhardt (+Atk/-Res, NEW)
4* SR Special Ticket #2: Hot Springs Ryoma (+Atk/-Spd, NEW)
4* SR Special Ticket #3: Bride Tanith (+Atk/-HP, NEW)
4* SR Special Ticket #4: Winter Nino (+Atk/-HP)
4* SR Special Ticket #5: Summer Noire (+HP/-Res)
4* SR Special Ticket #6: Performing Arts Olivia (+Spd/-Def)
4* SR Special Ticket #7: Winter Ephraim (+Atk/-Res, NEW)

Ah, that's better in more ways than one. I'm honestly surprised that I've managed to get this many new units.

Since today marks the start of the Arena Reward 3 free summon tickets, I'll chose to actually start keeping track of my Arena tickets.

Arena Reward 3 Ticket #1 (08/08/23): Annand (+Spd/-Def, NEW)

Out of the seventeen who just got added to the 4 Star Special pool, Annand happens to be the last one I didn't already have. So, this was exceptionally lucky.

Meanwhile elsewhere in my Jugdral collection, Quan continues to not exist. I have still never pulled regular Leif either and only have him because of FEH Pass.

Yesterday's 4-star special hero was Summer Robin. My third one, I believe, and she was neutral.

Today's hero was Spring Xander, one of the shittiest units ever but he's new so I'll take it.

The daily New Heroes revival brought me my second 5-star freebie of the batch, and it's ...CYL Marth again. None for two years then two in a week, from the same event. This one is +Spd -Atk, so the game is really sending me the message I should merge them huh?

Daily seasonal freebie is NY Selkie. I guess my old +Spd -HP one gets a merge.

One more partial round of Tea gets me to 13 pulls in, still nothing.

Hark, a focus unit! It's Tea Lysithea (Lysitea?) and on top of that she's +Spd -HP, on the 14th pull. Pleased with that, and the option to escape grey hell. I'll probably still open a grey if it costs 3 orbs but not 4, but that'd be a pretty rare occurrence. Not sure if I chill for now and wait for the CYL announcement or just truck on and get the remaining 23 pulls done ASAP.

Daily special hero is Halloween Sakura. Not new, unfortunately, and not an improvement on my existing +1 +Res copy.

Blue for the New Power banner.

  1. 4* Marcia: No.

Red for Ascended Mareeta's Revival.

  1. 3* Silvia: No.

Blue for Ascended Ishtar's Revival.

  1. 4* Sothe: No.

Red for the Beyond Control Revival.

  1. 3* Chrom: No.

Now to do all 10 of the 4* Special Hero tickets in one go. I don't have any particular target, so I think I'll just take the top unit in each circle and see what that gives me.

  1. 5* Bridal!Lyn: A new unit to start things off! +Def/-Atk is bad, but she's not exactly up to date anyway.
  2. 5* Bridal!Charlotte: Another new bride! +HP/-Spd isn't great again.
  3. 5* Picnic!Felicia: Not new, but she's nice anyway. Full neutral, so merge fodder for my +1 +Atk copy.
  4. 5* Dancer!Berkut: Another new unit. +HP/-Atk is fine.
  5. 5* Bridal!Ninian: Meh. +Res/-Atk is bad, but since my current copy is +1 +Def it's still an improvement as a base copy.
  6. 5* Duo!Hector: A nice new pair, and +Def/-Res is actually good for once.
  7. 5* Summer!Gaius: Bleh. +Atk/-HP is good, but I already have a +3 +Atk copy.
  8. 5* Onsen!Hinoka: Yet another new unit. +Atk/-Res is solid.
  9. 5* Onsen!Sakura: New again. +Def/-HP is mediocre.
  10. 5* Picnic!Flora: Not new just like her sister, but I actually use her from time to time. +Atk/-Res is a good base copy, but since I originally got her as a Forma that's unfortunately not possible.

That went better than I hoped. 2 merges for units I don't care about, 2 merges for units I do care about, and 6 entirely new units is really good for relying completely on random chance. Now to use the first weekly Arena Reward 3 ticket.

  1. 5* Karla: Eh. +Atk/-Spd is nice, but I already have a +2 +Atk copy. Merge time.

Likewise compiling my list:

Summer Noire
Valentine's Lyn
Valentine's Soren
Summer Gunnthra
Spring Marisa
Spring Marisa again
Dancer Shigure
NY Selkie
Halloween Sakura
Winter M Robin

Mostly new units which is good, but not anyone I particularly care about. Also amidst all of those units I see a +Spd -Res Fallen M Corrin who I don't remember pulling at all. Must have been a 4*SR I just plain forgot about.

Today's 4-star SR Special Hero ticket gets me Summer Tana, who is already +10:

Spoiler
  1. Bride Sigrun [+Res, -Def], now +2, already +Spd
  2. Picnic Felicia [+Def, -Spd], now +2, still neutral
  3. Halloween Mia [+Spd, -HP], already +10 and +Spd
  4. Bride Caeda [+Def, -Res], already +10 and +Spd
  5. New Year Selkie [+Res, -HP], now +5 if all copies merged, waffling on merge base because none of them are +Spd (neutral, +Atk, and +Res as options)
  6. Bon Ryoma [+Spd, -Res], now +2, new merge base
  7. Valentine Roy [+Res, -Spd], now +3, waffling on merge base because none of them are +Atk (+Def and +Res as options)
  8. Halloween Niles [+Atk, -Res], now +3 if all copies merged, already +Spd
  9. Bride Ninian [+Def, -Spd], already +10 and +Spd
  10. Summer Tana [+HP, -Res], already +10 and +Spd

Overall, that's 6 units that weren't already fully merged and 4 units that were already fully merged, which is basically average since I coincidentally had every color with somewhere between a 60% and 70% chance of pulling a unit that wasn't already fully merged.

Unfortunately, none of the units themselves were particularly meaningful since the ones that weren't already fully merged are all units that I don't have any plans of using, though if I get a copy of Selkie with a Spd Asset, I would consider actually building her. Ryoma also could potentially be made useful when an Arcane dagger is released, and Halloween Niles could also be useful if I ever get fodder for Savvy Fighter 4 and A/S Far Save (and a million more copies of Rearmed Grima).

Full Special Hero results, units new to my barracks in bold:

  1. Summer Gunnthra
  2. Halloween Niles
  3. Summer Gunnthra
  4. Spring Bruno
  5. Summer Corrin F
  6. Spring Marisa
  7. Valentine's Lyn
  8. Spring Bruno
  9. Bride Cordelia
  10. Valentine's Lyn

A bit disappointing, especially since I was trying to pull for blue where I was missing half the available units, but managed to get forced out of it five times. And got two copies each of Gunnthra/Bruno/Lyn for some reason.

Overall I got 5 new units from the 4-star special hero banner thing. That's a win in my book, considering that I could've gotten really unlucky and pulled no new units. In no particular order, Soiree Nephenee, Spring Catria, Hot Springs Ryoma, Spring Xander, and Valentine's Soren were new, and I've also now completed the Splendid Soiree and Greil's Devoted banners.

Repeating units were Performing Arts Olivia, Summer Camilla, Summer Takumi, Summer Robin, and Summer Linde. Only Robin was better than what I already had with Linde being questionable. Also, how the fuck were 4/5 of my repeating pulls summer units, with 3 of them being from the same banner??? Didn't you guys get the memo that summer break is over?

The final 4-star SR Special Heroes Ticket gave me Christmas/Winter Marth + Elice. This is the best it has given me. My full results from these tickets:

Ticket 1: Bride Lyn
Ticket 2: Dancer Ryoma
Ticket 3: Christmas Eirika
Ticket 4: Halloween Sakura
Ticket 5: Bride Sanaki
Ticket 6: Halloween Jakob
Ticket 7: New Year Takumi
Ticket 8: Dancer Nephenee
Ticket 9: New Year Takumi
Ticket 10: Christmas/Winter Marth + Elice

Dancer Ryoma was new for me, and I was actually hoping for Marth + Elice, but other than that? Eh, not great results. No other new units, no one else I was really looking for for merges or fodder. Oh, well.

Fuck the tea party banner

Ended up spending way too many orbs on it despite not having a spark, because it was ticking me off. Ended up getting Nils (who doesn't break my rate) and then m!Alear (???) who does. And again, I didn't get a single Ferdinand who should theoretically be easier to get.

At least getting a pity-breaking 5-star, even if only partially, puts me out of my misery regarding this banner >_>

Oh well. I suppose we'll see what the New Heroes banner offers soon.

Got a nice -atk Thief Sothe for my birthday, which was exactly what I wanted (except the -atk part). Considering how many orbs I threw on that banner last year without getting him, it was nice to pull him for free today.

52 pulls on Seliph's remix banner, aiming for Seliph:

  • 0 Seliph (+1 spark)
  • 2 Ophelia

I'm pretty sure banners with Rearmed Ophelia on them are cursed. I'll either get nothing or I'll get nothing but Ophelia. Or both. This time, I got nothing until pull 30 and then nothing again until pull 51, both of which were Ophelia because of course they would be.

Seliph is now +7. Ophelia would be +21 if that were possible and I merged all the copies together.

 

41 pulls on Freyja's remix banner, aiming for Reginn:

  • 3 Reginn (+1 spark)
  • 1 Tiki

Meanwhile, Reginn's banner doesn't hate me. Reginn is now +8. Tiki is now +1, and this one has an Atk Asset, which lets me run a Spd Ascended Asset. I also got an extra copy of Female Byleth for Ruptured Sky fodder.

 

40 pulls on the Hero Fest banner for the time being, aiming for Grima:

  • 2 Grima (+1 spark)
  • 1 Black Knight
  • 3 pity breakers
    • Wolf
    • August
    • Louise

I'll figure out if I'll go for additional sparks after I pull on the tea party banner and see how much budget I have left over after that. There's a pretty good chance I'll at least go for one more spark for Black Knight, but I'm not sure if I'll go past that. Alear is a maybe at best. I probably won't go for Byleth since I already have several spare copies of her.

This now gives me 10 total spare copies of Grima. My existing Grima is already +10, but I had to waste a lot of her inheritance potential because I used her as an Arena bonus unit when she was released and ended up just handing out only Arcane Grima and A/S Near Save since I didn't have any other good armor or dragon skills I could put on her to duplicate back then.

I also now have 5 copies of Black Knight, but I'll probably sacrifice one of them to Grima for fodder duplication (Distant Dart + Special Fighter 4 + D/R Far Save 1, which lets me get Armored Beacon + Vengeful Fighter 4 + D/R Far Save 3 from Young Hector).

I know I said I'm not that interested in this year's CYL batch, but I traditionally do a full round first up no matter what, so I felt obliged to do the same this year. And well, the freebie was a +Atk -Res CYL Corrin, so despite her being my least-wanted unit, that's a win. Got a Dorcas merge as a bonus.

Ignoring the tickets for now, I have 11 pulls to the Tea spark.

 

Oh, and this week's arena freebie was another CYL Claude, my fourth from these tickets in total.

I'm not really excited by anyone on this banner, but I feel like I should pull until the first spark anyway and see what happens before doing the free summon. 150 orbs is just enough for that purpose, so here I go.

Spoiler
  1. 3* Eirika: No.
  2. 5* Neimi: That works too. +Def/-HP is bad, so merge fodder for my current neutral copy.
  3. 3* Thea: No.
  4. 3* Est: No.
  5. 3* Beruka: No.

A gem among garbage. 135 orbs left.

  1. 3* Seliph: No.
  2. 4* Lon'qu: No.
  3. 4* Atlas: No.
  4. 3* Merlinus: Reposition fodder.
  5. 4* Nyna: No.

120 orbs left.

  1. 3* Fir: No.
  2. 3* Tanith: No.
  3. 4* Roderick: No.
  4. 4* Raven: No.
  5. 4* Jeorge: No.

105 orbs left.

  1. 3* Hinata: No.
  2. 3* Soleil: No.
  3. 4* Reinhardt: No.
  4. 4* Brady: No.
  5. 3* Nanna: No.

Halfway to the spark. 90 orbs left.

  1. 3* Kamui: No.
  2. 4* Sylvain: No.
  3. 4* Atlas: No.
  4. 3* Sothe: No.
  5. 3* Etie: No.

75 orbs left.

  1. 3* Guy: No.
  2. 3* Marcia: No.
  3. 3* Vyland: No.
  4. 4* Atlas: No.
  5. 3* Kagero: No.

55 orbs left.

  1. 4* Tanith: No.
  2. 4* Silas: Reposition fodder.
  3. 5* Fallen!Mamui: Finally something, even if a 4* Special isn't what I should be getting. +Def/-HP again, so merge fodder for my +2 +Def copy.
  4. 4* Sothe: No.
  5. 4* Kaze: No.

35 orbs left.

  1. 4* Nowi: No.
  2. 5* B!Soren: Figures it took until the last circle to get a focus unit. +Res/-HP is actually good, which is nice.
  3. 3* Barst: Reposition fodder.
  4. 3* Cecilia: No.
  5. 4* Jakob: No.

That went okay. It took me until the last circle to get a focus unit, B!Soren, but I also picked up merges for Neimi and Fallen!Mamui (4* Special). All in all that's slightly below average for 40 pulls, but I don't care enough about this banner to try to get lucky later. Corrin's definitely my least favorite of the options here, so I suppose I'll spark for Robin and get Gullveig as the free summon to maintain my streak of always picking the blue unit for CYL.

173 pulls on the tea party banner since I had a ton of orbs lying around from all of those anniversary orb packs:

  • 1 Ayra (+1 spark)
  • 1 Sigurd
  • 2 Lysithea
  • 0 5-star Ferdinand
  • 2 4-star Ferdinand
  • 4 pity breakers
    • Fallen Edelgard
    • Volke
    • Yuri
    • Diamant

2.3% focus rate is about 1 and a half pulls below average. 4.6% 5-star rate is about 3 pulls below average. "This banner went poorly" would be an understatement. Ayra was the last pull.

There are a few bright sides to this banner at the very least. Ayra has a Spd Asset. Lysithea has an Atk Asset, which is fine. Sigurd has a Spd Asset, which is okay. Diamant is new, though he has a Res Asset, which is pretty useless. Mikoto and Yuri are now +10. Volke is another copy of Lethality.

Based on the this banner's performance, it's safe to say I'll only go for 1 more spark on the Hero Fest banner. But I'll deal with those later since I'm currently prioritizing my budget on Grand Order's summer event.
