tithin posted:So, new characters in 2 days with a summoning period of 3 weeks It is, but as I keep having to remind a friend of mine: precedent means dick all. The devs are going to do whatever they feel like doing and/or whatever they think will make them the most money. Like, people keep cargo culting with this game, trying to predict what new banners are going to drop or what the next Legendary Hero is going to be and yada yada yada, based on past patterns. And...it seldom works. And yet they keep doing it.

To be fair, the legendary pattern held up for the most part until Hector, unless I'm misremembering when Lyn was in relation to the PegaNino banner, and Lucina matched up with it too. Heck, personally I was specifically expecting blue bow Lucina.

SL the Pyro posted:I always make sure she has some kind of buff to Spd, so she becomes ludicrously hard to double and very easy to get doubles herself, making QR irrelevant. Dragonskin puts in a lot of work if she only ever gets hit once per combat, and Renewal does the rest. I've been using her mostly in mixed teams so far, where the buffs are a bit harder to come by. I guess there's no rush to merge anymore, what with my now empty barracks, so I can afford to be indecisive until I find the best way to use her. Good point about sol/aether, that's actually been an issue.

Predicting what is in a new banner is a fool's errand, especially once they stopped just saying what corresponding GHBs were. But banner lengths & how they alternated with seasonals was generally easier to predict. No we're, Oops!, 3 consecutive weeks of new permanent banners that each last longer than the last. We're off the rails!

Obviously the banner will be all herons to foreshadow the new laguz units. 3.0 will add the skill refinery, base building, and replace all horses with giant rabbits.

3.0 will finally just dump a dozen 3* units into the pool so that isntead of a million bartres, it will be 500k bords & cords (as done by ippei)

add a bunch of shitter units with gen 1 bst but with decent/good fodder potential in the 3* pool, and start rotating them, and also give us monthly 4* fodder banners again to give people who want specifically those units a better chance.

It kind of sucks that Close Counter is harder to come by than DC I mean I guess everyone gets a free Takumi now but I've never pulled him in a banner and the only other unit to come with it is WTharja

cheetah7071 posted:Theoretically the best A skill for Veronica is probably atk/spd bond but who has a spare of that I think I might prefer spd+3 even if I had a choice. At least the way I play with horse mages/healers they are really often attacking alone (and then they get repositioned/danced back). In those cases bonds don't really do anything.

 I've been thinking about uses for my spare Lewyn and this is what I came up with, does this build look good? Also considered giving Special Spiral to Sonya since it is kind of perfect for her and I have a +SPD/-DEF Sonya, but I prefer giving very rare skills to units that I can +10 at some point. This build does require someone to be next to Mae at all times but that shouldn't be too hard. Giving Special Spiral to Athena/Soleil is the other option I've been considering but that seems like a waste since they already have Wrath. Or I could just wait until I get a +ATK Lilina (and more Lilinas in general, I only have two right now), but that could take a very long while and I have more than enough Maes to +10 her. edit: I also have Juicy Wave I could give to her, almost forgot about that -SPD Camilla I pulled on the summer banner

Glimmer is bad on low atk units. If you want a 2-charge special, go moonbow.

That said I'm skeptical of any special spiral build that uses it to fire off low-power specials. Like, glimmer/moonbow happen plenty fast enough already. Special spiral should be used to ensure a higher-cooldown special happens every combat.

Like for Lewyn with Luna special Spiral would only start to benefit him after the second combat which is really really late.

Really not sure where to go with her, I wanted to +10 her a long time ago but I couldn't think of a cool build for her and I was hoping that Special Spiral would change that.

I specifically built my Lewyn to trigger his special in the first combat (using quickened and infantry pulse) because I agree that special spiral by itself doesn't really do enough with high-charge specials. I'm actually kind of down on special spiral in general tbh. It's at its best when it's enabling a high-charge special but it's much harder to get the ball rolling on those.

I made a 2x infantry pulse team just for Lewyn (and Celica's new refine) and it's really good. Special spiral can be really good (also applies to Ares) but it does indeed require fiddling to get rolling. I wouldn't really consider running it without stuff like quickened pulse to lower the initial setup.

When the next abyssal rolls around I'm gonna try to get Lewyn working with an AoE special, since the enemy count is high enough that taking two combats to set up is probably fine.
