Yeah if all else is equal legendary/mythic banners are what you want to cheat on because I hate them and they suck and they're the only way to get mythic heroes

Ah true, you right. Aside from the Arcane/Attuned banner, the other ones I was considering will still be around when we get the new calendar and all that comes with it.

As for what I'm excited about, I've been stockpiling orbs for Summer L'Arachel's rerun on a Double Special. Didn't have the spare orbs to go for her when she debuted. But they've been twisting themselves into a dang pretzel to avoid rerunning her, it seems. And I'm not sure they'll even do the usual December Double Special, since they did one this month instead!

My first LYuri but I don't really have a slot for him atm? I like Fallen Byleth though and can appreciate the merge

The bound hero battle was surprisingly easy, I was able to clear every difficulty with my lazy fallen edelgard team

Got a Heior and fallen byleth before the spark which I spent on Gullveig, so average-above average luck for me

Do you mean the LHB? Because that is kicking my rear end. Well, the Abyssal one anyway. My lazy omnisave team handled the others. What kind of support did you get Fallen Edel?

Player phase is your friend. And there have been a lot of strong player phase units released recently, including support units that can nuke surprisingly well.

Actually yeah I had the same thought. I brought in some player phase nukes, backed by my savers. Nuked Gullveig and Kvasir and had them hide behind the savers. Worked a treat!

I crushed the Gullveig and Kvasir encounter with Kronya. The cav priest kept attempting to heal through deep wounds so she didn’t eat any excess chip damage and let her survive the few units she couldn’t one-shot.

I drained all my 350ish orbs on the banner though and remained cursed. After the three Guins I got two Fomortis and I feel double cursed because like 80% of my trash pulls were 1st gen 3*s that don’t even have reposition or draw back.

I’ve got a bit of backlog to clear, but I’m not looking forward to blowing those orbs on more 3* Marths. At least we’ll get a freebie for the next book.

Oh you meant this one, yeah I just enemy phased all the other units with edelgard outside of Gullveig range until they activated then I player phased them but looks like you figured it out already

Had to get FEH Pass back to spark Gullveig. That might be all she wrote on this one.

Ninja Laegjarn/Fjorm is the only ninja duo that didn't get into the AHR gauntlet after their release, and ninja Camilla got in instead (and was the first ninja not to win it), so pretty good odds Sanaki/Micaiah get in yeah.

FYI, upcoming banner is New Heroes with Forging Bonds, not Special Heroes with TT.

On the plus side it's a double-chapter so that's like 39 orbs.

There are a bunch of pantsless designs in Awakening, but most default character designs we're fortunate enough to avoid them.

Plus the toilet bowl armor thing attracted more attention I guess

Daisuke Izuka has quite the monopoly on "drawn art for major named evil dudes in FE", now that I think about it.

Also, I just noticed that Laurent got recast in English. I guess Paul St. Peter was too busy or something so Chris Smith had to step in.

I got a team building question and can't decide because I'm indecisive.

I was considering slotting the new squirrel lady into my main team (Eirika, Citrinne, Brave Eirika, Kaden), replacing Kaden.

Pros:

She has good support kit with her warp bubble, guard, and chip healing terrain.

Cons:

I'd be losing out on a pretty hefty chunk of stat boosts from Kaden's buff sharing and Drive Atk/Spd Seals.

But maybe the chip healing and warp bubble is worth it? I get Guard either way. Kaden's refine does AoE Guard.

Use the squirrel because Kaden and Selkie are the worst characters in Fates and no one should ever have to suffer them.

And squirrels are cool.

Those two cannot possibly be the worst character in Fates because Azura exists. :colbert:

But I agree squirrels are cool.

I saw there was a new Book and not having played since Book 2 thought I might check this game out again.



I got the free unit for beating the chapter and every time I try to parse this my brain goes lol nope and there has to be a better way to show what moves do.

Unfortunately, the devs are so adverse to making a glossary of terms for people to use as quick references that it is reaching "intentional spite against the players" levels of adversion.
