I like how every good guy OC has bichromatic hair, it's neat. Gunnthra shouldn't cover her neat hair with that stupid hat imo

The spring heroes are still the best seasonal heroes. I never get tired of Xander telling me about the weather or seeing Lucina dunk that egg.

Bunny Lucina is an ok unit mechanically too. Her attack is too low but having 39 speed with +SPD goes a long way into making her pretty effective with a blade tome.

She's still a regular in my AA runs.

It would be really lovely for the people who just wanted one

I didn’t say it wasn’t lovely. I just find the Ayra thing worse.

Gunnthra just isn’t very cool to me, either, so :shrug: probably why I don’t care as much.

is there some secret to getting Feathers or am i supposed to be playing for like a year before i get enough to upgrade even one unit

Dailies comprise roughly 1.5k feathers a week, give or take a couple hundred from login bonuses.

Before anything else, Arena should award you with between 3 and 5k every week with just your offensive score alone (which should be over 4001, which can be done with having a bonus unit in your party and only dying a few times along the way). If you get a lucky defense win using a bonus unit on your defensive team, that's another few hundred. Some cursory Arena Assault will net you another 700-1k if you just do the "start with 1 unit" trick before you can genuinely participate.

Hero Merit tends to add up in bursts and is a good 12k on its own for your very first core team, Tempest Trials will give you another decent chunk (few thousand) from bonus units on top of the 10k you earn from that if you go to the maximum score.

As a new player you'll get between 30 and 40k feathers a month, this doesn't detail the other minor sources you'll be building feathers from via events over time. It gets easier as your barracks and core teams improve, but the average is always going to be about that.

Okay i have devised...... The ultimate lyn build

Lyn +atk/-hp
Brash katti
Flex (but honestly reposition)
Luna
Brazen atk/spd 3
Wrath 3
Flex
Heavy blade 3S

She hits 54 atk (58 full merge) no outside buffs when in brazen range, so easily goes to 60+ with a bit of effort. Then she auto fires empowered lunas and explodes everyone the end

The best part of seasonal units are the fun the voice actors have with them. Some of Winter Tharja's tap quotes have top notch delivery

I think you should temper your expectations with these legendary banners and only go in with the hope of getting *something*, not of getting anything specific

I'm at the point now where I have one of every movement team, 7 solid AA teams, and a highish bst arena team so this is my philosophy for pretty much every banner now. Don't really care what I get, just want more poo poo for SI generally.

Yeah, I know I've posted before about starting to snipe blues but I didn't even start that strategy because I realized that I also needed SI fodder to build up my teams and also that it'd be hard and expensive to get specific characters that I want. Even it feels like that getting optimal IVs is next to impossible.

I hope that pulling for Takumi on the New Year banner will give me the last 3 Felicias I need. She's been sitting at +7 for a while now because the desire sensor decided to give me a bunch of 3* Niles instead.

I wish there would be an 'effective against cavalry' banner so i could whale for Mathilda. She's never going to get even a +1 otherwise.

Did one last pull for Christmas Lissa, got no greens, ended up with a +res, -spd Holly Jolly Tharja.

I gave Tharja a lot of grief, but her voice lines are pretty good and make up for the whole Rudolph Bikini weirdness.

You know, I got my original Mathilda at 4 stars so I don't know why I thought she was a 5 star exclusive.

Also I keep reading the title as "This is not my beautiful Fjorm."
