Free pull time... going red all day everyday baby... oh ffs no red orbs....
*finds reddit thread with all fodder skills listed*
Lets go green!
Got a +res-hp LA!Hector, so I either merge up current +res-def LA!Hector or I have distant counter fodder, win win. Either way I'll wait until his rerun banner is finished before deciding.... would hate to merge them and pull a +atk one off his banner...
Got my tenth Myrrh. Only one more to go but I'm out of orbs and I don't spend money. Oh well, she often gets banners.
My current Myrrh is +res. I just got a +atk one and I can't decide if that's better. Sitting at 39 def/38 res currently after 3 dragonflower levels on my +8 Myrrh and it's beautiful. But extra attack is extra attack.
I had a +8 Myrrh after that best legendary banner lineup ever (Lector, Brave Ike, Myrrh) and spent money to get her to +10 on her next banner (was like a week after IIRC). Since that point I've been pity broken by her twice.... kinda facing the same dilema right now with my +8 Mia and her showing up on one of those daily banners right now.... 70 orbs to get a Lene.... F.....
Anyway back to Myrrh, the only thing I'll take over +atk is +def so her weapon effect can go off more.
+def -> +atk -> neutral -> +res
It only took 50 orbs
Every banner is an easy skip if don't like the characters. People like Ike, Soren and Greil, they don't need super rare units to sell. Also I would argue that sword amor is very rare, we only have Arden, Zephiel, BK, Draug and Zelgius
I have a +10 Brave Ike.
This banner is an easy skip since there is no meta defining unit on it, it's defining feature will be Fury 4 which will end up on other units eventually anyway.
You mention we only have 5 sword armors already, that might not seem like much but when 3 of them are free units and another one is in the 3-4 star pool.... everyone has 4 out of 5 armor swords already. Now compare that to axe armors, we have 11 and only 1 is free and 1 more is in the 3-4 star pool.
Also Black Knight is arguably better than GD!Ike because of his prf weapon (which might be refinable soon) and Black luna being much better than Radiant Aether. *If they refine DC weapons and give it to GD!Ike afterwards than he's a lot better than he is now*
Now compared to red cav tome, there is only 2 in the game and both are 5 star exclusive.
Soren - Fantastic offensive spread, but will never get out of Reinhardt's shadow.
Greil - Green Armor is one of the most competitive positions around.... L!Hector, Surtr, B!Ephraim, LA!Hector etc and than you can add the dragon armors and yeah....
Well I don't think bladetomes are a fun concept to begin with, making a better bladetome just makes I dislike it more. Odin is my favourite character and while i apreciate that he is useful now i am still disappointed that they couldn't give him a weapon with a cool gimmick
How is Odin smiting people around and giving them +12-24 stats not a cool gimmick? Or having amazing team synergy with units like L!Lucina and Laevatein?
