2019. New York is in ruins. The global economy is spiralling. Cyborgs rule over poisoned wastes.

The only time that's left is
FUN TIME

I'm coming back after quitting a month after launch, what is that +10 you have there? Does that mean she's effectively level 50? Is that why '40+' missions keep destroying me?

It means she's been merged 10 times. Each time you do it, it adds +1 to two stats based on a simple formula, for a total of +4 to all stats at +10. It's the slowest and least effective way of making your waifus more powerful, so having a 5*+10 unit is a mark of dedication/insanity.

PvE uses a different method to make AI characters more powerful, known as "blatant loving cheating". The best general advice for high level PvE is to only hit the enemy with units that are hard counters, and ask us for advice on anything else.

pretentious fuckwit who isn't half as literate or insightful or clever as he thinks he is
Yeah '40+' on PvE stuff is to indicate that the enemies are having their stats Inflated to gently caress to make up for being total morons who will gladly walk into awful matchups.

Truth is game rigging is more difficult than it looks pls stay ded
Wait so people are getting not just 1 5-star character, but getting the same 5-star character 11 times? That's insane that must cost many orbs.

Fae is available as a 4* unit. You can promote her to 5* for 20k feathers.

Yeah. Most of the Be The Change units come at three or four stars. Still takes a lot of investment, but it's managable free to play.

I love the banner concept. I'd prefer a non-split 4* focus (and/or without bad fodders like Rebecca) but I guess they're not gonna be that generous about it

I may pull colorless more in the future depending on what the legend banner is for more Kleins and Setsunas

Yeah, I hope this is an indication that they will do more banners like this, because it's a very cool idea!

I have no orbs to spare on it because I spent half the month chasing NY Azura and I want to have SOME available for the next Legend banner and/or whatever they're doing for the anniversary event. Assuming they're doing something.

If they were nice, the anniversary event would be just give us a bunch of orbs and a free unit.

The anniversary event should be the bottom 4 characters from the CYL poll, with extra power creep and they should explicitly have lines about it "with THIS you'll have to love me"

Theyre doing this banner because these units will be 5* exclusive next month as they rotate the pool of available 4 and 3* units.

I hope they do more banners like this, but with less units sharing a color. Maybe that way I will finally get enough Felicias and Titanias to +10 both of them. I‘ve gotten more Hinatas than Felicias the past two months and it‘s not like I haven‘t been rolling colorless.

I have enough Faes for the +10 so my personal nightmare of green orbs not existing is over

Now I only need two fcorrins (and about 70k feathers) to have both at +10

Saviour of Hallownest.
I've run out of Cordelias and I'm one Camilla away from running out of her as well.

What the hell do I even do once I'm waiting for them.

I suppose the real answer is wait for Dark Flier Aversa/Sumia.

Free pull was 3* Cecilia, which has been a recurring theme. I already have a 4*40+10 Cecilia, let me go!

Pulling on green now feels awful, since I already have 4* +10 Cecilia, Cherche and Fredrick. Of course, since I desperately need reposition I'll probably pull a couple on green again :(

Same, I got NYCamilla but still need NYAzura

I don't mind though, honestly the only units from this banner I really have any use for are common as dirt anyway

like, I really don't need to spend orbs specifically trying to get Barst; the Barsts will come to me naturally

Part of me really wants to invest a bunch in New Year's Camilla and I don't even know why. I don't even like Camilla that much, or fliers, or sword units.

Anyway, speaking of +10 units, they need to bring the FRobin GHB back so I can get mine at least to an even +5.

Got screwed over in a Arena duel when Reinhardt somehow survived a counter from Micaiah and she got ganked by WoM. I believe he had 32 Res against Miciaiah’s 52 Atk. Maybe I’ll switch Iceberg to Moonblow to fix that.

-Spd/+Res. Makes her better at counterkilling mages and dueling other dragons.

Her def can be made up with a refine and Steady Breath

If you are going to invest in her def anyway using the +def nature and a res refine is better because the +def nature gives 4 stat points

+RES is only better if you are going all in on the res

Also it turns out that getting the +def nature on my Fae was worth the wait
