Well I tried to spend a few extra pulls fishing for the new dancer and got -atk +Def Tanya instead, so I said gently caress you banner and went back to pulling for nowi, got jack poo poo there too but finally got a bunch of good skill fodder and got my stupid horse emblem team online and was able to collect a bunch more orbs from all my unfinished storylines and whatnot which all availed me nothing so far. Give me more stamina potions stupid game.

I’ll go with WLissa, because she’s the holliest and jolliest.
Given that I do not care even in the slightest about who wins, I might just join Team Lissa too. I can't stand Fates royals and Lissa seems the most Christmas-y of the lot, and is generally a pretty great person and not an rear end in a top hat.

Spent all my orbs, got pity broken by Sonya and a NY Takumi (five grey orbs, what). He's +atk -spd, so I guess maybe someone gets his weapon some day?
If you don't want to keep Sonya around, Res Ploy and Mirror Strike are pretty juicy for inheritance.

Tana is good, although -atk might be awkward

also she's probably a better character than Azura

That's a very good idea. I've been running a mixed team for arena lately, res ploy would fit in way better than the single horse and armor buffs I sport on two of them currently.

I think mine is going to sit around until I need to give guidance away or I get enough fliers for a flying team neither of which are even remote possibilities unless I get something crazy off banner again. I just need 20k feathers for Cecilia now but I just spent 10 on potential for horse skills so another week at least. Then I think I'll save another 20 and give Cecilia a blade tomb since I don't have bowbreaker or Gtombbreaker for her.

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.
So, I bought 35 orbs for the Legendary Heroes banner as a New Year's gift for myself and, HOLY MOTHER, I got two Amelia's (that's three in total from this banner), an Elise and a 4* Klein.

One of those Amelia is +SPD/-ATK, just like the other one, so I guess she's fodder. The other one is +SPD/-DEF, which is kinda trash as well. I already gave Effie Armor March a while ago, so that's my armour team covered, and Titania is already ear-marked to get one of those Slaying Axes. I guess I just hold onto the other two until I find someone else who wants Slaying Axe+. Happy New Year, Roger, have an excess of Amelias. Love, IS.

Elise is +ATK/DEF, which is loving phenomenal, so she's now the alpha-Elise.

The 4* Klein will be melted away for Death Blow 3 for my +ATK/-SPD Lyn that's been sitting in my barracks literally for months. Because the next arena rewards will give me 200 divine dew in reserve (Sieglinde plz), I pulled the trigger early on giving her the Brash Assault upgrade. Already tried the normal Sol Katti/B-slot version a while back and wasn't terribly thrilled. It was good, but getting her under 50% health was a little to conditional for me to really fall for the gimmick. Cue today, with Wrath in her B-slot, Moonbow as her special and the slightest tap from the enemy turns her into a murder-buzzsaw. Darting Blow is her current budget A-slot skill, which was a means to ensure a double as much as possible, but it's largely redundant with the Brash Sol Katti upgrade. Death Blow 3 is just going to be mean.

There was also a 4* Soren. Just to remind me. That he's there. Watching. Waiting. :argh:

Quick aside, a new month means new monthly quests, and they always include a tonne of stamina potions.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and barbecue your own drumsticks!

Finally broke that 10.5% pity rate on the Legend banner and it was the unit I wanted, to boot!

She's -atk, lest you think that gacha was really taking mercy on me. Oh well, -atk Elise can still do Dazzling Gravity bombing! She'll make a nice counterpoint to my Wrathful Gravity bomb Priscilla. I already got her Heavenly Light, Attack+3, Hone Cavalry, and put the Speed+3 Seal on her. Anything else she might want?

I gave her my last Water Blessing so she can get SP at a reasonable rate. Now to get her a poo poo-ton of SP!

Oh and for the Voting Gauntlet, since I don't have any of the units on it I'll just back who I like the best. Team Soup it is! For all ya'll planning to back Taco, Prince of Soup, which one of my lovely units would you like to have fight for you in the Gauntlet?

Highlights Include:

Amelia the Better Hector, Super Cherche, Brave Frederick, Lightning Breath++ Corrin, Boring Reinhardt, WoClere Michalis, TA Raven Halloween Henry, TA Raven Spring Camilla, Boring BowLyn, aforementioned Wrathful Gravity Priscilla, and dancers in three color flavors.

I've got 3 Sheena's from the last few times that I've rolled. I've got CChrom, CTharja, and a 4* Effie. Is it a stupid idea to mulch one of the Sheenas to get Fortify Armor on one of them and just merge and max Sheena for a complete armor team? She seems like a high-investment unit, but since I don't have access to Armor March, I figure that making this team as tanky as possible would at least make it playable.

Obstruct is a meme but I'm insane enough to do it. If I was really insane I'd run bold fighter + steady breath + aether or something. She hardly takes any damage from non green physical units at all unless they got a Luna or something.

Uh oh. Do I use Ariadne thread or Goho-M?

Tried only pulling on greens, so of course my pity rate was broken by Weab Camilla (-atk/+res). Great. I decided to pull the rest of the circle, and I got my first Young Tiki (+spd/-def). So at least I got that.

Hello thread, I used about 600 orbs trying to get a NY Camilla by sniping red. I got 4 five stars, two of them are the new Azura, one is a -spd/+res Raven, and the other is a Luke.
Hope everyone else has better luck getting what they want.

Shoulda checked the 4 red orbs in hopes of a Camilla but I didn’t have enough for a full pull and I’m trying to snipe Azura.

+Def/-HP Airzura on my free pull :toot:

I took my savings in orbs and immediately blew them on the legendary banner to break my pity rate before it goes poof; I pulled a +Def/-Res Amelia. I assume this is much better than my original +Spd/-Def and she should become Amelia Prime while the first is a +1 or a slaying axe+/armor march, yes?

Did a hail mary pull on the Legendary Heroes banner and got Spring Lucina, who's +SPD/-RES. Seriously, what is it with the game giving me the -RES bane for my pulls? It's either -RES or -HP (that's another bane I get a lot) for banes that I always seem to get on 5 star pulls. It's bizarre that I keep getting the same banes so often.

Oh well, I have a new blue mage on deck for any future teams I may create, as well as the unit I wanted way back when the spring banner came out, so all is good for now.
