    What are the banners?

    I have yet to complete the story because well I have been lazy and just play for free and the arcade/events but it was my brother talking about I can make something and pointing to a set of numbers on the castle why I can been trying to catch up in the story {I have no idea where it ends or which I have to finish to get that thing he is talking about}

    I only have 4 healers and only leveled two of them Loki and Maria

    EDIT: NONE OF THE BEAST UNITS WERE DEMOTED!???? WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK!?

    Yeah this is kind of bullshit. I hope it's not a trend...

    Anyways, got everyone but spent way too many orbs. Stupid shared color. Kept pulling Lughs. Finally managed to get two Sues, one +ATK and one +SPD, so now I don't even know which one to use... Thea (Tate :3) also took freaking FOREVER to get. She's probably getting demoted so I should have just given up but I wanted at least one copy. She is like +ATK/-HP so that seems pretty good at least.

    I think I'll finally make AR tier 19 this week. Need so many more stones to upgrade my defenses though.

    I think there is no way I don't make AR tier 21 thankfully. I'm like 140 away or something. I'd have to completely wiff every match for the next few days and get a bunch of lost points.

    I hope to make T21 as well. I’ve still got one escape ladder use left and I’m only a few points behind Warlock, so here’s hoping!

    I’ve also dig myself into a hole. I need to spend 350 stones to get a level 4 offensive fortress. I have 390, but cannot spend 350. I can spend 300 or 400.

    However, I’ve been looking at defensive matches and anyone with a level 4 offensive fortress only has a level 3 defensive fort at best, so I’m picking on them!

    Not too crazy about this banner or any of the upcoming ones, but I did get an Adrift Camilla off the free pull. Ehhhh.

    This new heroes banner is a pretty easy skip, though, for the most part.

    I've kind of become a big fan of Binding Blade lately, so this was a pretty hype banner for me. I've been playing through the game and it's so damn fun. Hard as hell (and this is on normal mode, I haven't even unlocked hard yet) but super fun.

    That said, WTB Gonzales as soon as possible plox. Best character.

    Edit: Woo, forging bonds got me the last 20 dew I needed without having to do any new refines:

    Thea's Forging Bonds story is great so far. Says she wants to get paid to fight for the Order of Heroes and Anna reacts like she's found her soulmate.

    Armed with 20 orbs and the summoning tickets, I got a -atk Sue too. Now she can join my -atk Legendary Lyn as another wielder of the dreaded "green nerf bow."

    So I have a habit of never spending Divine Dew. Usually it's "Oh, I like this character and their weapon effect is cool, but I don't rely on them enough to justify the Dew cost." I'll use it on my most-used units of course, but most of them don't have a Divine Upgrade.

    So now I've gone ahead and done some accounting. Number of units in my army with upgradable weapons: 20. Number of weapons I can afford to upgrade if I used all my refining stones: 14. So uh, maybe I shouldn't worry so much. :P

    I just noticed that testing aether defenses doesn't take into account the fortress levels, which makes it a lot less useful for testing unless you invested more in defense than offense.

    Yeah, this is one of the things that made me stop overthinking my defense team and also stop upgrading my defense fortress early on. I did some tests and created a setup specifically so that my lead Cherche would be able to survive being attacked by Aversa, but then quickly found out that she would lose if someone was up a fortress level on me.

    On the note of Aether Raids, it sure feels good to finally have Null C-Disrupt on Fae. Had a battle today where I shoved her out there in range of Veronica, B.Lyn, Reinhardt, and L.Azura. There were no survivors.

    Just noticed something really cool about Gray Waves. If a unit with the movement bonus triggers Galeforce, it can still move 3 squares as part of its Galeforce turn.

    They'll also still move 3 spaces if another dancer refreshes them again.

    You know, I was thinking this morning it's really a missed opportunity that they didn't get Rutger Wrath as his B skill. First off it would be a nice bone to throw to F2P players who could spend grails to get access to it without having to fodder Nephenees/Karlas, while still not making it super duper common by putting it in the permanent 4* pool (heck, it could even be locked to 5* to force a 20k feather investment). It would also fit his character WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than Vantage, considering the dude is literally known for his crits. Maybe then swap out his A skill for something a little more fitting, like Fury, L&D or a Brazen (probably ATK/DEF to make it less value if you're giving Wrath out already). If I had more Wrath fodder I'd totally give him the skill purely for the flavor. But I mean, he's not a character I'm really gonna use and Wrath is too rare a skill to throw away like that :/ (still very very tempted tho...)

    At least he comes with Slaying Edge+ and Vengeance. As garbage as Vengeance is as a skill, it's 100% flavor appropriate. And he starts with a Killing Edge in Binding Blade too (but giving him a Killing Edge now in Heroes would be an ass move). Though Wo Dao would have also been acceptable (I think Slaying Edge makes the most sense though)

    Edit: Ok I just couldn't not do this... The meme potential was too stronk. I also had a few Owains and forgot he has Wrath too. Soo... Umm... Rutger also got Blue Flame :3 I'm seriously debating on the A skill. I have Fury 3 right now to synergize with Wrath but I kinda sorta wanna give him Brazen Atk/Def too (which is to say I gave it to him cuz I have plenty of Areseses, but he didn't learn it yet). Maybe for the seal instead. I did a quick melee training map to farm him some more SP (can't learn Blue Flame yet, not enough SP) and yeah, between his Slaying Edge and Wrath he had a special up almost every turn.

    Thought about giving him a Wo Dao but I think he needs the extra cooldown reduction of slaying edge to really be Critger. Blue Flame is basically a super Wo Dao special anyways.

    Edit 2: Ok, decided why not go all the way...

    Well I've got a 3740 score in Arena, I wonder if that'll be enough to score me my first Tier 21 promotion. Apparently the 3730's would get you there in February, so hopefully that holds true again. Fingers crossed.

    Man, fuck aether raids tier 21. Jesus. I am gonna need to rethink my offense team :/ I'm already out of escape ropes.

    At least I got here though. Any ranks over 21 get lost anyways so whatever points I get from now on are just a bonus

    Teleporting infantry pulse for sure. I had one where I tried to block a blue cav, he lunged me, then literally the entire team teleported and wiped out my whole squad. I have a hard time dealing with Special Spiral BS setups too. I need to figure something out. There were also an absurd number of +10 Dumas which aren't the *worst* but the DC ones can be annoying.

    I've just seen some unpredictable ones with all the teleportation skills. And LAzura making them move so far can be brutal. Nothing particularly common or standardized though.

    There’s a part of me that wants to create a fallen Takumi squad to use Skadi to inflict -30 hp and panic ploy on a team before running in there with someone that’s got CC and vantage to wreck them. Pick the one unit that might have hardy bearing to kill first and be done with it. This is aether raids for reference.

    I somehow, despite having gotten enough copies to +10 him, have never seen a +Atk Ares.

    Real shame, I think he's obnoxious as shit and would love to start merging mine beyond the current +1.

    When's her GHB rerun set for? I'm stuck at +8 on mine and to be quite honest, I'd be happy to keep her at +9 forever if it means I don't have to burn 850 more grails to finish her out.

    Edit - She's after Garon, whose revival is in early April. Bleh, so probably another month and a half, at the minimum. By the time that hits, I could spend the same amount of grails on, like, 3-4 more merges on Panne. Seems way more worth it.

    No clue. She feels pretty recent still so I imagine it's not for a few months, but who knows, we're getting Garon again...

    Edit: Oh didn't see your edit. Honestly it'll probably take me that long to get another 400 grails, so that's probably fine..

    It really just doesn't seem worth it, especially when +9 is the one that tacks on more of her most desirable stats, +10 is more for completion than anything. The scale of grail costs just don't seem to justify it when I could spend just as much getting several merges on another project unit, or the really valuable +1 merges on 4 different grail units. Or keep 'em for inherit fodder.

    Then again, I'll probably be staring at the +9 and lose all resolve and get the last, dumb merge just for the border and OCD purposes.

    I mean, if the rerun is really in April, I'm fine waiting for that for my last merge. Like I said, it's gonna take me at least that long to build up enough grails anyways. I'm not 100% sure what stats she even gets on +10 to be honest. (if it's another point of HP that's actually pretty good)

    Late, late April. Probably at the earliest. But that's just based on me eyeballing the recent calendars and assuming they do the next revival at roughly the same rate.

    It's Def and Res at +10, btw.
