Gameplay perspective, cool, Astra needed a mixup. Character... No thanks. Don't think I'm gonna spend much here. Need some non-OC mythics!
edit - Got Leif from a no-reds free pull. Decided to go in once more for reds. 2 reds... Seliph and Plumeria?? Okey dokey, easiest mythic banner ever. 9 orbs for 3 5 stars is hard to beat lol.
So I guess it's time to use her and fallen Ike in Astra!

Gotta go for my main dragon man Dheginsea. At least I won't have to vote for him in CYL5 now.
Jokers Wild...imagine Xane on a team with, let's say, Idunn, L!Edelgard, and F!Kris, just to keep things color-balanced. As long as they stay within two spaces he'd have top-tier stats in every category! And that's before counting his Atk/Res Form bonuses or any other stat buffs he might get through other units or inherited skills.
So Tiki is a non-dancer who can dance other units from the same game, including dancers, and if she receives a +6 all buff from LAzura, she comes out of it with +30 attack. Right?
Also, Dheginsea's dragon form and voice are dope, but I feel like they did him dirty introducing him as a 4 skill seasonal variant.
Sigh... My most hyped remaining new hero to get in (Dheginsea) should have been a mythic with a completely stacked kit. Instead, a shitty seasonal that's completely out of character. Not pleased.

I feel fairly confident he'll get a vanilla version pretty soon. IntSys must have put a lot of work into that huge dragon sprite, they'll want to reuse it.

Blew through my entire orb stash but I got a Dheginsea! Along the way I also summoned a second F!Byleth and Eyvel (got them merged to +1 now), a Valentian Catria, a Larcei, and a 4* Xane.

I can't tell if I was lucky or not. I pulled like five Robins which is awesome, but it took me forever to get one Dheginsea... Ah well.
It was Enough Robins to not feel bad sacrificing one to L!Grima for essentially QR4. So worth.
Also it took me way too long to realize Robin was supposed to be a werewolf and not a kitty (it honestly only occurred to me when I realized what her weapon name was). But whatever, close enough :P (I swear they all look the same to me.. cat girls, dog girls, fox girls, wolf girls.. Too similar :P)
Now THAT is a support unit. Finally taking some risk and making a very intriguing healer. Tempted to spark for a Flayn if my tickets fail me!

Pretty good luck this banner. Got a Flayn and a 5* Seteth in my first circle. Later I pulled a 4* Seteth (got promoted and merged) and a Shamir, so I was free to use my spark on Catherine.
For being from the actual 3H artist, the art seems off somehow. Maybe it's the guy who did the S support pics instead of the portraits :P
Otherwise he looks insanely broken, as new legendaries tend to be. I'm sure everyone will give him DC and Aether and we'll see +10s all over arena soon.

Wow, for once the game didn't hate me. Pulled Dimitri in about 10-15 orbs or something, first 5*, +ATK/-RES. I'll take it
Brave dimitri +atk or neutral? I'm leaning towards neutral for the bulk. Will be +3
Atk. Superboon, and the extra Attack is going to help him if you run Aether or another healing special, so it's not worthless defensively either. +Defense is the only other boon I'd consider on him, if it's between Attack and Neutral I'd go with Attack every time.

Yeah I think +ATK or +SPD is almost universally the best IVs for almost everyone (unless they have some gimmick involving their defensive stats). +ATK I feel is pretty much always good. Maybe the exception might be Kliff with his weirdo weapon but I dunno about even that)

I have 27 +10s and only two of them aren't either +Atk or +Spd, so yeah, I think this is mostly right. Atk is always at least a good IV. Speed I put on units if I feel like there is an actual shot at them not doubling things, and similar for enemy-phase based units where I want to prevent doubles on them. (Assuming the stat is salvageable. Sometimes it's a dump stat. Also there are random exceptions to this like Brave Ike who I want to get doubled.)
If I drop +Res or +Def on a unit it'll usually be the result of some kind of specific synergy, like the Def check on Myrrh's Great Flame. Or if it's a unit I use almost exclusively to tank one kind of damage, and I'm using a special that scales off of that stat.
I didn't get a Dimitri, but I did get my first LAlm. Looking at his powers, I'm not saying why he's the destroyer of worlds?
The secret of Alm is that his weapon scales on enemy defense and he has a powerful 2 CD prf special. Makes him really hard to tank, particularly alongside null follow-up.
The other secret is that darting blow 4 sucks really, really badly. My Alm is +1 +spd and once I gave him swift sparrow 3 he became insanely strong.

I'm in a similar situation with Micaiah. I gave her Atk/Res Solo awhile back, and originally just had her running with Quick Ripose for her B slot to give her an extra role as a mage tank. But she doesn't really need that anymore, so I was looking at the other potential options. I'm kind of leaning towards Special Spiral for firepower, or Mystic Boost to make her a good dragon fighter while helping maintain her health condition for her weapon.
Null C Disrupt is definitely good, but it's *so* good on so many units that I wouldn't throw it on Micaiah for that reason. Unless you just really love her, of course.
Rescue is basically coded as a movement assist that just so happens to heal, rather than a "real" healing assist.
And you don't get XP for using movement assists, so...
You gotta downgrade her healing ability at first until you can unlock her weapon and baby her up that way.

Her weapon has built-in Wrathful Staff so it's not so hard to get kills with her.

I already have a Null C +10 distant counter Eirika and Hawkeye. Also a Nailah and 2 fallen lyons. Guess I got lucky pulling Null C!
Mystic boost might a good idea... I have one of those spare too. I am thinking null C might be a bit too niche actually, maybe special spiral would be better general power.

Healers don't come with their weapons learned, though. So no matter how shiny or strong the new healer is in the end, they still gotta be babied up first.
It's true she has a pretty high attack stat but I wouldn't call her an offensive powerhouse or anything by any means.

Yeah that's definitely a lot of Null C you are packing, there. It only comes on two units, you know, so that's a lot of Nailah and F!Lyon pulls you're talking.
Though I did just pull a random Nailah on the most recent banner, so I guess it does happen...
I still haven't settled on what I'm going to give Micaiah yet, but I'm leaning a little towards Mystic Boost right now. Even if it's not necessarily as flashy or exciting as some of her other options.
Ooooh yeah, got a Lysithea from my tickets! Been wanting her for so long for aether defense. Now I'm planning a Dark defense featuring her and Shamir with deadeye. No BIke allowed!

Ironically I got Brave Lysithea from my tickets. I was laughing a bit at that one. "Wrong Lysithea game!"
Side note, fuck this arena season. I gave up and just did it on easy for the stupid chain rewards. I was gonna drop to t20 regardless so what's the point? (I keep losing like 3-4 games in.. It's so stupid). Legendary Chrom needs to be banned from this damn game. Also Legendary Dimitri can go to hell with his extra move every other turn and insane damage bs.
