Man, Forging Bonds is great for grinding SP on HJakob, and HJakob with BB+ and Bold Fighter is as amazing as I'd hoped

He quads every fight he starts and he procs Ignis every time he quads, it's almost unfair

I mean he doesn't proc Ignis if the thing he's attacking dies before he can quad but I'll take that

"I stood there, wondering why the puck was getting bigger...

and then it hit me."


I dolphined a bit for the Muspell banner, and 260 orbs got me the following so far:

Mage Celica +spd -hp, then Laegjarn +atk -res on the same wheel
Alm +res -def, whatever
Laevatein +hp -def
Laevatein +atk -hp
MGrima +atk -def
3.5% pity rate outstanding

No complaints on the IV quality here, but I'll still be going back to the banner hoping for at least one Helbindi. Ideally I'll get a couple Helbindis and a junkier Laegjarn so I can make Super Soren, a megamerge Caeda, and still have one of each, but that'll be up to the gacha.

Even without stat bloat, it's just Rival Domains but mirrored. I've never been a fan of any of these enormous-team choke-point cluster-fucks, so I'd much rather the dev team spend their time and effort churning out something like Abyssal Marth than refining this codswallop.

Having a total of 3 free bonus units for next arena cycle seems a bit mean but is consistent with what they're trying to do with arena I guess

E: I think free is the wrong word here, easily mergable I guess? All of the heroes are either 5* exclusive, new, have a limited amount of merges available, or are a combination of these. I have both of the fire sisters and I still don't like my chances of getting a crown, especially when it's Fjorm season.

You know the art is bad when the people using the character feel like they have to defend themselves for using it. Going to use her for the arena now that she can score well? Blade users are probably among the few that dont really need an A skill to be effective. No idea what to do with my sort-of-pity-breaker Laegjarn, I dont have any merged red fliers. Annoyingly specific skills.

Finished levelling up Laevatein and she is awesome. Might scrap my HJakob project, which is sort of hopeless, and aim for a longterm +10 of her instead. Cool skills, fun to use and great stats.

Helbindi is basically a more min-maxed Hawkeye. Nice in theory, but his weapon doesn't do anything that amazing so at best he's the slow, sturdy axe that we've seen a dozen times before.

The swordgirls have much more unique effects that allow them to stand out even in the crowded pool of swords. Laegarn's precise statline as a red flier also helps her.

Her skills are excellent too though, and she's a great buffer. The link skills sort of avoids panic ploy, which is double neat.

This banner was exceptionally kind to me, giving me five 5*s in ~140 orbs which is way better than I've ever done on any other banner, including legendary banners. 


I got a +Spd/-Hp Laegjarn, +Atk/-Def Laevatein, Soleil, normal Ephraim, and Armor Ephraim (the only new brave unit I've pulled, even after dumping like 200 orbs into the CYL2 banner). 


Laegjarn having 42 spd is pretty cool but she only hits 48 attack, 52 with arena bonuses, 55 with an attack seal, and 59 after hone atk (which is unreliable with how common panic ploy is in arena, especially given her HP bane). She should take out most greens but red units would be iffy and blues doubtful. 


Laevatein seems much better for combat and if the score calculators are accurate, would give me a range of 724-738 compared to 726-740 for her sister. The score is lower by 2, but she's also way more competent at killing other reds and some blues so it's pretty tempting. All she really needs is a special and QR seal, maybe reposition instead of swap and she's ready.

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.
For Arena, I've decided to put a hold on my uber-Draug and build a 40+10 Caeda and introduce her to my arena core. Sheena/Effie/Caeda/+bonus unit sounds pretty neat. I could ice my Hellbindi for a mage of some sort but Sheena is just too T H I C C to bother with that.

I'm thinking: Wing Sword (Eff)/a dual rally of some sort/Aether/R Duel Flying 3/Chill Attack/DEF Ploy/RES Ploy. She'll still be able to deal with the occasional armour and cav unit while debuffing everyone else to feed to the bonus unit. Once she's +10, I'll summoner support her as well.

I wish they found a better way to get variety into the high-tier of Arena, but it's nice to build a unit that's not an armour for once.

Arena core will likely be... L!Hector/Subaki/Barst? At least unless I someday get enough Shigures to +10.

It's a shame that my V!Hector (who is my go-to general destroyer) won't actually see much use unless I +10 him because of the new arena mechanics. Triple green is a bit of an iffy arena core too.
