Eridras Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 1 hour ago, DefyingFates said: Quick question before the banner ends: how good is Tana? I finally got Amelia after a pity rate of 4.50, only have 19 Orbs right now and am well aware that trying for Tana means I either need ridiculous luck with the Orbs I'll have by the end of the month or I'll need to spend real money. So in other words, I guess what I'm asking is: is Tana worth potentially spending real money on? I know some of you are whales but I'm a F2P player so please keep that in mind D: To add on to what has already been said, spending money is still no guarantee of getting Tana, let alone one that's neutral or better. I've purchased 5 of the 23 orbs packs and 1 of the 75 orb pack this summer. All that got me was...1 5-star unit. If you're worried about getting your hopes up, then let me tell you that it's a terrible feeling to spend money and not get anything. I can easily absorb the loss, but it still stings. Make sure you can handle not just not getting Tana, but spending money on essentially feathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good catch, thank you :P I guess I will hold off then, and start saving up for the next banner to really catch my interest. Thanks again, to both of you!

If you use an Apple device to play, Staples currently has a 15% off sale on iTunes gift cards above 25$. That's a good way to stretch every penny. I've stopped paying for orbs normally now, it's all off discounted gift cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, probability is a harsh mistress: Celica cost me at least 400 orbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never ever saw a deal promoting Google play cards. But there is the survey app by google where you can earn a (very) small amount of money in participating in surveys. Mostly things like "you have been in store xy yesterday, how good was your impression of it on a Scala of 1-5?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, to both of you! For spending orbs, I know I wouldn't have nearly any of the characters I wanted if I didn't. I'd still have some good characters, but ones like Takumi, Hector, Spring!Chrom, Summer!Frederick... they all required me paying for and paying quite heavily. Sadly, luck is usually not in my favour so it costs me a fair bit. Just depends how much you want Tana and if you are prepared for disappointment...

Especially with the huge amount of feedback Aaron got at the party last year :D To stay on topic, I've decided to hold onto my Orbs until we get another SS Banner, or any other that catches my interest~ Edited August 23, 2017 by DefyingFates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lushen Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Any logical assumptions on which units will end up as 4*? I have Seth, who might be 5* only b/c he is a main character, but might also be a 4* b/c he's not so great. The only other one I could see being 5* exclusive is Amelia b/c of her C skill. Tana could b/c she is somewhat important, has unique weapon, and pretty good but with Hinoka and all the other blue lances people want I don't know.... I think Innes will b/c a lot of bow users were downgraded to 4*s and he's a prince, pretty good, and has a unique bow.

Seth and Amelia are the most likely since they haven't dropped the rarity on any characters with uninheritable weapons except on banners where more than half of the characters had them. In terms of skills, Seth and Innes have the least impressive kits, so I can see it being them, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) I hope Seth becomes 4 star. I tried several times for him and instead of getting him, I got five other 5 star units, including two who weren't red because I had no reds in their sessions. This has been my unluckiest month since the very first two, I would say. Edited August 24, 2017 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents I toooootally wish I had your Amelia Yeah. I mean, Tana is nice, but I didn't want any of these others. Even if Gray HAS been helpful in Tempest for being a 40% bonus unit unlike Alm who was just 20%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sproutling Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) I'm sure Seth will become 4* after the banner ends. I really hope that Innes is the other one who gets demoted because he's the one I want the most but still haven't pulled. But honestly, it'll probably be Amelia.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I hope they all drop to 4*, I haven't gotten ANY of them, and I've been trying! I've had the worst luck in this banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
