Yeah, I miscount. It's 1000+1000+4000.

Unless you're saying Camilla isn't going to win.

They're reworking rewards, it's literally one of the two things promised by the update.

They didn't mention that for this event? I just did the calculations from the information in the announcement.

Also I have all the characters in the flying banners already. Still holding on for bunny Xander.

That's a link to the voting gauntlet explanation from the prince v princess gauntlet. They have a bullet point where they say they reworked the reward structures.

Why are you pulling green orbs from a pool without a green focus?

I spent my remaining 15 orbs in the pegasus banner hoping to get a brave lance for effie. Got a 5* subaki and two 4* Odins instead. Quick riposte 3 and more moonbows is alright.

Well your *blade candidates are Olwen, Reinhardt, Ursula, and Cecilia. Of those the best are Olwen and Ursula, with Olwen being faster and Ursula having higher attack and native death blow. Reinhardt with Dire Thunder is already one of the killingest mages in the game, and he loves any extra attack he can get. Beyond that you're looking at like Able, Frederick, Eliwood (5* only), and Gunter being your heavy hitters. I like Gunter and I wouldn't melt him down for parts, he has sweet art. Jagen's buff goes wherever you have the SP to put it, I ended up with it on a cavalry healer. My cav team is Olwen (blade tome), Reinhardt (with death blow), Gunter (inherited Luna, Hone cav), and Priscilla (Fortify cav); I've never used it in the arena so I can't say how optimal it is, but it's fun to stomp things into oblivion with the mages.

The only flier worth rolling for is Hinoka because she actually makes the endless streams of otherwise comprehensively useless fliers worthwhile

You have a really low chance to get a 5* from a color that doesn't have a focus unit

Cool, thanks. I actually have a Reinhardt, though he's -Atk, and I've been holding onto an Odin in search of a recipient for his tone. I like the idea of putting one of these buffs on a healer, also.

Got a 5* Fae doing the single roll to get out of bad colour RNG on the blue flier banner and then first roll was a 5* Ephraim on the only blue in the next one

I guess you're getting prepped for Dragon Emblem, and hey, you have a good foot lance user now! (without having to promote Shareena) Could be worse!

I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

If I die before I Wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.
Decided to do a couple pulls on the new banners since the 5* rate is super high if you just pull for the focus color. Ended up getting an off-banner Effie (my second!) and Linde before scoring a Camilla and Hinoka. 80 orbs well spent.

Thankee kindly.
Went in hard hoping for a Hinoka.

Came away with my 5*s being Subaki and CorrinM, both which I already have. CorrinM doesn't even give anything good for inheritance other than Dragon Fang, so... I guess he's feather trash?

Also got a whole bunch of units that aren't great even for inheritance - three Ests, two Florinas, three Firs. Did get three Hanas, so I guess that's Life and Death fodder.
