For the first time a neutral Cordelia doesn't have a 35/35 offense spread. Instead, that's a +Atk -Spd summer Cordelia.

Got a +SPD/-HP Innes (and a Ninian) with 50 orbs so I'm done

Got a random Alm, which is better than any of the banner units imo. Windsweep works with his refine, right? He's +Spd, so with the phantom speed seal that would put him at 43 speed for windsweep purposes.

edit: also only got saizos and kageros from the colourless orbs. I want the other ninja retainer, feh!

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Is it just me, or does Noire have a different pose on her map sprite?

This +SPD/-HP Innes actually looks pretty good stat wise.

I didn't expect to actually get something useful out of this.

Legault is at 4* and has Atk Tactic 3, which is excellent news. They're being nicer about demoting good skills lately, with this and Ares.

I don't like ploy skills, because my favorite characters have neither astronomical HP, nor astronomical res. They're also fully useless in high level pve content. But a Tactic, is always fantastic.

Blew my stash of a hundred, ended up with a close counter (takumi) and an Elise so she should be +3 now.

Not a bad haul but I just wanted a noire

Went ~70 orbs and then hit 3 5* in one batch featuring:

A +atk -spd Alm
A +res -atk Sonya to get tossed into the pile with my existing -spd Sonya
The prize of the lot, a +res -hp Noire which is basically neutral I guess.

Wish the Alm and Sonya had been Tana and Innes instead but I'm pretty happy with Noire since she and Tana were my preferred summons. Still have a month to see whats coming and decide if I want to keep pulling reds, anyway. I still need to pull 4 more Marths to hit +10 where did they all go

And if that wasn't funny, there were lots of things that weren't even funnier...
Game is determined to withhold red tome flyers from me. Got Saber and +ATK/-RES Cordelia with 200 orbs. Even had a 4 red orb pull with all 3*s. At least Cordelia was the non-red pitybreaker I hoped for, but gonna go back to saving if I can fight the urge to pull.

Got Karla and a spare Jaffar. Will probably go back in for Cordelia or Noire later, but not too bad.

Got plenty of time to rebuild, at least.

Got a free Bowbreaker, a useless Lukas, Another Kagero (I can make my current one +3), A Quick Riposte, And a Tharja

These summer weapons are weird, I guess they let you lean PP but still operate well EP? Unconvinced that's better than Firesweep or Brave but I'll stick with it since the sprites are funnier and I don't want to spend tons of feathers on heroes that will be AA fodder at most anyway

E: Also I guess they're refineable so that's kind of a lot of stats

j/k I have no self control and spent 70 more orbs and landed myself a +def -spd Tana. There's probably a moral in here somewhere but I will continue to not learn it.

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.
Today's my last really big pay-day before I leave Japan in late July, so I decided to splurge on some orbs and drop some yen on a Play card in the hopes of getting a Innes or a Noire.

My very first pull was 5 colourless orbs and while I did technically get an Innes and a 5* archer, it was just not the archer or the Innes I wanted. The regular old Innes I got was +SPD/-HP though which is better than the +SPD/-ATK one I currently have, so that's good. A bit less HP kinda sucks but against mages he gets hit for very low numbers anyways, so it won't matter as much as an attack penalty.

I then got a whooooole lot of nothing for a long rear end while before this happened on my very last pull:



Lyn is +DEF/-HP so she's a merge. Legault, who I previous had pulled as a 4* unit, is neutral. Does anyone even want Swift Strike of The Cleaner+? Olwen is +ATK/-SPD so I guess she's just a shittier Reinhardt. Now, I can't be angry at any of this because, holy poo poo, three 5* units in one pull, but I would trade all three and the previous Innes for one of the new units even with lovely IVs. :/

Welp, there goes the last time I will spend money on this game for a very long while. Unless the next banner includes Summer Anna, in which case I guess I'm eating instant ramen for the last 3 weeks.

So my Noir team I'm thinking Healer build Chrom, Galeforce Raven, and Ephriam. And give Chrom infantry pulse?? I could maybe even put aether on Ephriam....

My noir is -Def +Res so moonbow I guess? And fury but what B skill? She's fast enough to not need desperation so maybe swordbreaker?

Edit: her defenses are bad at 23/23 base maybe just give her LND since no extra swift sparrow??

Edit2: Watersweep maybe?

Spent some orbs against my better judgement and after a random Delthea early on I had to spend 200 orbs until I got another 5 star. The mage Tana I got is +SPD/-HP though, so that‘s pretty neat.

As it is now, Noire's Infantry Rush affects enemy units as well
