If any of those are your favorites/waifus, keep it. If you don't particularly want to reroll, keep it. If you're willing to reroll and don't like these characters particularly, reroll it.

e: reroll targets in increasing levels of insanity:
-a 5-star
-a 5-star and a healer (might be the same)
-a specific bannered 5-star
-2 5-stars
-2 5-stars and a healer (might overlap)

Past that point is absurdity.

there's a rolling gacha where your rate increases each time you don't get a 5*, this is reflected in the rates

Which is likely how I got my 5* Robin in my first summon haul, and that owned!

(Also got a 4* Serra which means I didn't do too badly on my first rolls, since she's a healer and that'll come in handy.)

The details of the increasing rates are detailed in the FAQ:

It ONLY applies when you do a full 20-orb summon, and fail to get a 5-star in any of them. Using less than 20 orbs will NOT increase the rates.
After doing the 20-orb summon with no 5-stars, the rates of bannered and non-bannered 5-stars each go up by 0.25%. This will start applying on your next summon.
The rates reset when you get a 5-star of either type.
If you manage to summon 120 times (which is 24 20-orb summons) in a row without any 5-stars, the rate will go up to 100% next time. If I understood right, that means that your next summon will have all five be 5-stars.

I see. Interesting.

Well, I have Robin (Blue) and Serra (Healer) on my team, so I guess that for my next summon, I hope I can get some 4* characters using Red and Green weapon types.

Satsuna = Weak damage, some type of healer archer that doesn't do either of these well.
Fir = Decent damage dealer. Averageish.
Sully = No clue.
Gwendolyn = Has that weird pulling skill I think, not particularly useful at the moment. Most things die or they dont and since it's AI, easy enough to kite without using a skill that forces it. Maybe if they make some challenge map with a super tanky unit that just runs away all the time she will come in handy.
Beruka = Lackluster, you probably have something better. Flying units not really required for any map right now.

I hate the be that guy, but if you're going through the trouble of rerolling, I would say at least 5* base. I know this game has a lot of people jumping on for nostalgia and dont necessarily care about powerful units, but from the looks of it so far in this game the 5* bases are so comically overpowered, head and shoulders above the rest that I can't help to feel that down the line there will be content created with such units in mind and people will feel screwed over not being able to participate due to being too weak. This is mostly PTSD from other games like this talking, but it's far from unreasonable of an expectation.

From what I've seen the dream is 3x 5* base on the initial roll (impossible), 2x 5* base happens but only 1 in a million (wont happen to me or you), 1x 5* base + 4* base 5* seems ok to start with, but who knows. Once you're dipping into 4* 3* bases it gets kind of questionable. Even though it seems you can eventually evolve ANY unit into 5*, I highly doubt the upgraded 3* will be on par with the 5* only units (what's the point of the gacha if that's the case?) On top of that, it does not sound like the price for evolving units is reasonable right now, so highest rarity = better, highest base rarity = ideal to shoot for.

Also, PSA:

There are a second tier of quests once you finish the first tier in each category (the February ones and the plotline ones). Presumably there's a third, since they're named after the difficulties.

In particular, you want to finish the February quests before you start tackling maps with level 20+ enemies. The only part that won't happen automatically is doing the second stratum of the training tower 5 times, so do that.

The second tier of the plotline quests has you doing the final map of each chapter in hard mode. This means you want to save 1-5, 2-5, etc for until you unlock the hard mode quests to avoid wasting stamina repeating them.

So my tolerance for rerolling in games is pretty low, but I've done it 4 times so far and just pulled three 4*s and a 3* mounted dude. One of the 4* is a healer at least. Honestly I expect to get sick and tired or rerolling within another 10 times or so and just say gently caress it.

As such is this a "good enough" team to go with or should I give it a few more attempts?

The lunatic tier for feb is pretty similar, except with level 35+ enemies. The two that might trip people up is a quest that requires killing 15 35+ enemies with a cavalry unit, and a quest to beat 6-1 Lunatic with Felicia in your party (she is one of the daily hero rotation iirc, so grab her if you want to do that quest).

no, they're the same. But pulling on a banner and whiffing boosts your chance of pulling a 5* on that banner for subsequent pulls.

ill probably pop up the 3 story units you get too since im sure youll need them for challenges or something at some point

Yes, AoE heal + tanky (at least durable, for a mage, can't tank top dps or falchion) + high mage dps that often hits twice and counters twice. Special reduces most enemies to 1-2 hp with an AoE of 7 spaces in a specific pattern. The downside is attack range only 1 and the fact that is a dragon so any falchion user (bonus vs dragons) will shred her hp and also the art.

Look out for healer and/or Res debuffer to supplement if you plan to build a team around this unit. You will need a real tank as well eventually.

I believe other 5* mage are still considered better because they have ranged attack, but it's a good pull.

Yakiniku Teishoku posted:

When pulling Tiki make sure it's the Dragon Scion one and not the other one

The 3* version actually has very similar skill-set, not nearly as tanky and doesn't hit as hard but does get ranged counter attack which you have to train with SP (one of the expensive skills called lightning something.)

Out of idle curiosity, how does a Nowi with decent stats stand up to Falchion wielders? Fae obviously gets destroyed since she's dealing with triangle disadvantage along with effective weaponry, and Tiki fares poorly as well while sharing the same spot on the triangle. Nowi's a blue though, with triangle advantage, so does it affect things enough to actually make her usable against them?

I don't have, or want, a Nowi, but there are more manaketes we'll get eventually, so happen to be thinking about this in case we get more blue ones eventually.

I haven't seen all the healers yet, but I would probably say Clarine or Lissa are the best. Clarine can use a full party +4 speed buff every other turn, while Lissa has a +4 attack buff.

So here's my question. How do you guys deal with the AI? Someone told me to try and bait out the enemy, but that seems flat out impossible. Enemy teams straight up won't move at all until my units are in a position where they can all swoop down at once and destroy them. No matter how many times I wait in a good position, enemy turns end instantly without a single move.
