It's so that this banner will still be available during the July/August voting gauntlet, which will likely be this banner vs next month's banner.

They really need to make the demote unit act like a 4* special wherein if you get them they dont knock down the pity rate

It's always horrifying when you get in deep and you cant avoid the demote orb

For some reason it has taken me this long to cotton to this, but this TT has taught me that Martyr+ doesn't interact nearly as well with a Push 3 as I thought it did.

Mercie just will not recover that last 1 HP she lost when the Atk/Res Push 3 activated no matter how much she heals. I had to put Heavenly Light on her instead of Miracle so she would at least be able to recover that chip damage SOMETIMES.

Why in the gently caress did they make the Push 3 skills suck SO MUCH compared to 4? Most other rank 4 skills are a marginal improvement over the 3 so you don't feel like they're completely useless without the 4 next to their name. Not so with the Pushes! It's either this skill does dick all of you're missing even 1 HP, or it still takes effect if you're above 25% of your health. I mean what. the absolute. gently caress.

Why isn't Mercie getting that last hit point with Martyr+?!

I thought for sure that worked because I use it on B Camilla, though I tend to attack with her more than heal.

I don't feel like pulling out a Fury unit to check but assuming it's not just an oversight in the game (since it's only 1 HP) the damage taken from Fury & Pushes and so on don't get registered as "damage done to unit" for Martyr, which only checks for actual damage done by another opponent.

Also Push 3s have been around since 2018 and they sucked then too. Push 4s were them basically making them what they should have been to begin with.



Heavenly Light won't heal Mercedes either, by the way. Use the Live to Serve seal

Camilla has a Push 4 so she can keep that active much more easily. All you'd have to do is keep her about 25%. Easy peasy. I'll look at Reconcile I guess.

Oh yeah, I know. I guess I'm annoyed that they didn't change the way the non-rank 4 Push skills worked when they released the rank 4. Why do they scale so poorly? It's really annoying given how rare Push 4s are. I know this game exists to make money and blah blah blah but that skill sticks out as ESPECIALLY scummy and anti-player. It's really gross.

Mercie can hang onto the Live to Serve Seal for now. That's just annoying because I can only give that to one healer at a time.

In 8 pulls total on the summer banner, I have pulled all four focus heroes (with both Caspar and Mercie -Atk) + a bonus 4* Special Celica.

So, you know, I expect my luck to be absolute poo poo until at LEAST CYL in August. Good thing it's probably not gonna be Sacred Stones summer again, right? Right?!

The one I've opted to go for is: Devilish Bow, Swift Sparrow 3, A/D Far Trace, and Joint Drive Speed, with Glimmer holding down the special slot until I can snag another Shinon for Deadeye. Yes, that's a bit high-investment, but for as good as Leonie's stat line is, she falls into the group of units that need a complete kit overhaul to work.

Another option is to swap out the Trace skill for a Lull, probably either Lull Spd/Def, Lull Atk/Def or Lull Atk/Spd (this one's on Shinon, so you can burn someone else to get Glimmer and then grab Deadeye + Lull Atk/Spd).

I just ate a Bernadetta and gave her Push 4 and Lull Spd/Def, as well as Pulse Smoke cause I have 3 extra Ceds so why not.

I did the same since ive had a lvl 1 Bernadetta that was never going to get trained. At least now I have a potential bow cav merge project if I ever desire one.

Still kind of regret it because I already have a +6 brave lyn which doesnt get much use.

Innes on the other hand is the best investment i've ever made. Been running blade session seal on him and its hardly ever been a detriment.

Why do you necessarily need to swap out her weapon? Her default looks pretty darn great to me. Is there a way to make it work?

I went with Devilish Bow because the Guard effect is very useful to have on hand. Especially with a lot of overpowered units having access to methods of special cooldown acceleration that don't require Heavy Blade or Flashing Blade nowadays.

The issue with Sunflower Bow is that it relies on facing a visible buff-heavy enemy team, so it could work in places like AR where stuff like crazy cavlines roam free. But for other modes, Sunflower Bow will lose a step because its bonuses won't activate as constantly due to either the buffs not being there, or the enemy team relying on spurs/drives/solos for stat boosts that won't activate Sunflower Bow's effects.

the base effect of the bow, Def+5 to you and Def-5 to opponent is just a HP check so you'll get it pretty drequently.
The weird dull/theft of bonuses is just a nice bonus.

Also IMO but buffs are all over enemy teams in various modes so it'll activate more often than you'd think

What are good C skills I can inherit to Leonie and Summercedes? I'm talking general skills I can probably dig out from my immense pile of 4* combat manuals, nothing high expenditure unless it's really, really good.

It depends on what Bow you plan to inherit to her. If you plan to go with Sunflower, Def Smoke C and Spd Smoke Seal might not be a bad budget-ish option, likewise Res Smoke C and Atk Smoke Seal for Sumercie

It was an easy choice for me. The Celica I had was -spd and was utterly useless as a result. Now with a +1 she can at least do her job!

That was my first Celica too, before i merged into +res. She needs 9+ self damage now and prf+fury3 is 11, so even if I get a +spd in the future I can safely +3.
