Didn’t notice the New Years banner had leaked until after I spent way too many orbs trying to get a drat 5* on the legendary banner, and now I feel like an idiot.

A dupe Spring Chrom, +spd -atk Blucina, and +Hp -res new horse lady were not at all worth it, not when I like all the NY units way better :smith:

Legendary banner got me a 4* Fae (!) and a Sigurd in 15 orbs so I'm done

Seems like my Sigurd is -ATK/+DEF, which isn't great but should still be workable

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.
I already have Ninian, two flavours of Azura, and two flavours of Olivia and I barely even use the dagger version of the latter, so I do not care for another dancer. Bit of a shame because ignoring some terrain and fart-arsing around with Flier Formation and Guidance would be fun, and probably insufferable to deal with in the arena. Everyone else is a big fat meh.

For the heroes banner, I paid some spare change for a Play card (literally, I had 1500 yen worth of coins in my wallet weighing me down) and 9 extra orbs and ended up with a -ATK Amelia. I can't be unhappy with a 5* after so few orbs, but I would have preferred any of the colourless units or Fjorm's T H I C C sister, but I guess I've got a brand-new axe for Titania then. I least I didn't get Chrom'd.

Back to saving for Hone Dragons/Anna variations/Flying archer/Flying staff then.

She's called Shiida in the EU version of Shadow Dragon, so maybe they just got confused.

IIRC the “Cae” part of Caeda’s name is pronounced the same way as Caesar. So it ends up sounding like Shiida anyways

Now I can give Death Blow 2 to someone who doesn't have it yet and DB3 to someone worthy. Current candidates are: Brave Axe Freddie (4*+5), HJakob (plan to build like a ranged Effie), Cordelia.

I'll consider myself lucky for pulling a Fjorm with only 20 orbs. She's +spd/-def; that's... bad for the way I use her (I'd actually prefer it the other way around). Now I've got to figure out whether to just merge her, or give atk/def bond to one of my tanks. It could do very nicely on quite a few of them.

Oh, and gently caress this game if this banner is the only way to get Gunnthra. They can big up the 8% rate all they like, she's still sandbagged by one mediocre axedork and an armoured axe user when there's two on the seasonal banner already. I'm going to lose interest in FEH fast if we have to save up for one good banner every month and everything else is just bait.

30 to 35-ish orbs and I got a replacement Innes. This one is -HP +ATK as opposed to the -SPD +DEF one I had before; an immense improvement. Now, to merge or to pass on Cancel Affinity (or Fortress Res) to someone else...?

Yeah, and that's part of the problem. It's not a bunch of cool new poo poo, it's a bunch of cool new poo poo you won't get unless you spend money on a glorified slot machine. When I saw the new year's banner, I wasn't excited, I just felt... tired. I'm cleaned out of orbs, I'll get enough for one full pull, maybe two in the next week. Meanwhile all the new characters are gonna be shoved in my face every time I open the app, every time I go to the arena, and in their own cutesy little paralogue.

I know it's nothing new and the nature of the gacha beast, it just feels like they've really ramped it up over the last few weeks.

I had pretty much the same experience with this game some time ago. At some point I realized that I was just getting caught up in all the hype surrounding the new characters and that led me to pulling on banners I wasn't even that interested in. I stopped spending money on this game and now I'm just pulling for characters that seem cute/cool/interesting and building up characters that can be pulled at 3* or 4*. If I get what I want from new banners? That's cool, but even if I don't get anything I can still spend my feathers on the characters I already have and maybe I get some rare skill fodder if I'm lucky.

I already have a big roster of 5* units though, so the temptation to pull isn't as big as when I had less units. Also, getting new shiny units is kinda what makes the game fun when there's a drought of content like we have right now, but it's important to remember that this constant influx of awesome banners is what Gacha games use to try and tempt players into spending money.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
I always look back to my roster, which has now way too many units for arena assault at this point. Would I want a WTharja and WRobin? Yes, but I also have Ayra, Nephenee, and still haven't really tried a flier emblem team yet despite getting a spring camilla.

I've been winning arena with basically the same team for forever, there's no real reason to pull other than liking that character. If you want to spend, spend it on actual FE games.
