    Well, I think this summarizes my luck so far on the Myrrh banner:

    But that is only about 50 orbs I had available currently. I'm not giving up on you, Myrrh!

    I wonder if I should actually do the thing and put Distant Counter on Myrrh. Not an easy decision, but I can wait until the arena season starts Monday to decide. One thing I might do is 5-star my last Subaki to give her the full QR3. I probably can't spare a Hone Fliers, though, I don't need two green Hone bots. Goad will have to do.

    Also the story chapter was actually pretty good for once. At least toward the end. The Eirika stuff was just same-old, was hoping she was actually an evil Eirika from an alternate timeline, or at least manipulated into working for the bad guys. Also the map layouts were still generic as hell and not even Sacred Stones-themed.

    I only have one spare Hector, and I was contemplating this if I had gotten her with a good IV. A -spd +def Myrrh with DC, QR3, and Iotes seal would be terrifying.

    Dropped 100 orbs on the banner, pulled a +HP/-DEF Myrrh with 4 orbs remaining. The only other 5* I got was (another) Eldigan.

    So I'm tapped out. But I also got a 3* and 4* Cherche to promote and merge into my SS.

    I think my Myrrh is -atk but honestly as she can't benefit from her own Hone Dragons I hardly see how it matters. She's there to buff Nowi to kill everyone except Julia and Deirdre.

    Oh shit, might give Mia one of my spare Nephenees for wrath. With Luna and Heavy blade seal, her double attack would be 57 might against 50% armor with 20 bonus damage. Deletion!

    Before last TT I would have laughed at the idea of then adding a DC seal. Now..? After QR anything is possible.

  • Warlock82Warlock82 Never pet a burning dog Registered User regular
    I hope we do get a Distant Counter seal. Screw it, I face DC heroes all the time in arena anyways, might as well.... since apparently I'm never gonna pull a second Hector :P

    I had 400 ftp orbs ready to go specifically for when the next dragon was released and I managed to pick up a neutral IV myrrh in only 70, yay! Now I need to decide if I want to use my only hector for distant counter which I’m leaning against.

    I really only play this game to collect the dragons girls so this should be the last of my orb spending until the next dragon girl appears. My only regret is that I’m going to have to bench my fay right after giving her lightning breath and refining it.

    One advantage of Fae is that she can run that sweet steady breath / aether build.

    Also for some reason I didn't realize that Brave Lyn's counter stopper can't stop Dragonstones.

    I have broken many Brave Lyn's and Reinhardt's in half today.

    Ha, well I got another deathless arena run (after much crest spending because I'd lose in like the second to last of the chain... bleh). Managed to raise my score from 5008 to 5016. lolz. Not sure if that is going to matter, but could be enough to keep me in tier 20. Not sure I'll try again unless something major happens with my team (mostly I've been curious to see if getting Robin to +10 had a big impact... I do think it bumped me up a bit as the lowest I saw was 710 vs. seeing 708s before)

    May focus on bringing up my Arena Assault score now instead. I want those sweet, sweet refining stones :P (also I need all the sacred coins I can get with another Tempest Trial coming very soon. Seems like every TT has at least one crazy hype seal reward)

    Edit: Also ran into this amusing team. Player Character Emblem!

    They are just need to release one more Camilla variant and I'll be able to to run Camilla emblem.

    Although I suppose Lucina beat her to the punch with Lucina emblem if you count "Marth. " Tangently related to spring Lucina and Lucina emblem, EGG!

    Yeah. I actually fought a Lucina emblem today too, though they had Fjorm in the 4th spot for bonus points instead of normal Lucina. You can totally make a Robin Emblem too :P

    Was ready to spend some serious orbs from the 400 I have banked to get Myrrh. Pulled a +def/-attk in the set of orbs. Now to debate if I should chase the rest of the banner.

    You can wait to see what the next banner is and pull at the last minute if you don't care about it once seeing it.

    Does she have brave bow? Not sure how worth it would be if she's not at least doubling everything (and thus proccing it faster). Unless you wanna use her in arena and then the extra points probably help :)

    This is before a bit of SP farming I did for Distant Counter

    Inherited Quick Riposte 3(YEAH I ASCENDED A TSUBAKI TO 5 STARS WHAT DON'T LOOK AT ME), Distant Counter(My last free one), and I just need Repo of all things.

    But we're fuckin in it.

    Man I can't imagine her stat spread merged.

    It would be totally impossible because Galeforce can only be learned by Sword, Lance, or Axe users.

    edit:
    So save your feathers for now. That said, Galeforce Regular Lyn with a Refined Sol Katti and the heavy blade seal might be neat.

    Ok, how about NY!Camilla? Someone for Horse Emblem, like Titania? Sigurd? Ayra?

    The best I seem to be able to do for dragon emblem is Myrrh (with bad IVs), Ninian, Tiki (4* adult), Corrin (4*)

    NY!Camilla has the same speed potential as Cordellia, so she's probably as good of a user of Galeforce as Cordellia herself. Although NY!Camilla, lacks slightly behind in attack power and in turn has more bulk, which may make her more useful in taking a different build approach. That said, I've heard of a few Cordellia users complaining of Cordellia hitting too hard and occasionally killing the target too fast, depriving herself of the extra hit to proc galeforce to move onward.

    No comments from me on Horse emblem except that Sigurd might struggle procing galeforce since he's slower than Cordellia/NY Camila. You also probably want to have him keep using Divine Tyrfling, so you can't capitalize on Brave Sword for extra hits.

    IMO, Ayra probably wants to stick with Regnal Astra since it hits like the fist of the North Star.


    Of those, I might personally give Galeforce to NY!Camilla. Although that said, I don't have dedicated Horse or Flier emblem teams setup. My understanding is that flier emblem teams really like capitalizing with hit and run mobility with the likes of the skills hit and run, galeforce, reposition, flier formation, etc.

    120 orbs, less than 10 green stones, pity broken by Ryoma. WE'RE OFF TO A BAD START.

    I mean, Ryoma's not terrible, but I already had one and death to rando off-banner 5*s. Guess I'll look at those final round chain challenges I've been putting off as the orb collection begins again.

    Alright, I'm going to commit to building Myrrh, DC and QR3 and all. Even though apparently she's at -4 defense with a bane. I can just pull for merges in the future though.

    My flier team is lacking a good red option outside of H!Nowi. So I have some 4* red sword fliers too. My current flier emblem is NY!Azura, Cordelia, Hinoka, and ? (Lachesis currently). So maybe building up a NY!Camilla is a good idea.

    Yeah, absolutely. You've got two blue glass cannons so a tanky red to take on greens is a good idea. Either NY Camilla or Palla are good options.

    After spending nearly 200 orbs to eventually get pity broken this morning, my very next roll got L'arachel. +Spd/-Res. That'll do.
    Still sucks to miss Myrrh, but only for gameplay reasons. Never really cared about her much in Sacred Stones, whereas I was planning to vote multiple times for L'arachel in the CYL poll before she was revealed.

    I realize that I have baited myself. I gladly started burning orbs to try and get a copy of ATK/RES bond for my Sanaki. I figured that I'd be content hunting for that prize. I should have realized the likelihood of Sothe getting demoted to 4*. Then my journey into colorless hell might have rewarded me with some copies of Life and Death 3.
