I was avoiding the earlier posts because I was afraid of any potential spoilers for the National Championship game (good thing I did lol). Was at 1am my time so I couldn't stay up to watch...all of it lol. Got in the 1st quarter then went to bed. Was a good game.
How has your journey progressed?
That was actually amazing lol. I like how you pulled up my Keenu quote from way back when as well haha. Anyways, my summoning story.
The Summon History of Alkez
At first I didn't understand the difference between friend point summons and rare summons, so my first pull was
Tron (
ultimate deadness) and my second pull was
Leah, the white mage. This chick will forever have a place in my FFBE heart. She was my only healer until I got Fina and she carried me through the game. Even now I still have that exact unit. I will never get rid of her for as long as I play this game.
Once I figured out the difference between fp summons and rare summons the first banner I pulled on was the Tellah, Lenna, WoL banner. I wanted WoL and Lenna. Assumed it would be easy enough to get Lenna. After 15 pulls I got one
Tellah, a character I hate lol. Was not pleased. On the last day of the banner I used the last of my tickets. Gold! It wasn't WoL. But it was
Chizuru! The unit I wanted the most. The next big banner was FF9. I managed to pull a
Zidane after 4 pulls despite the terrible rate.
Then began the dark days lol. FF6. All I wanted was one of each unit. But I wanted Terra the most because I like the character. By the end of the banner I had 3 Locke, 6 Celes, but no Terra. At that point life hadn't been going well, and it felt like the game was kicking me while I was down cause everyone else was getting like 7 Terras. So at 8:45 am, right before the reset, I bought one of the bundles. I did 10 pulls. Got more Celes, more Locke, another
Zidane, and on the very last pull,
Terra! It was a hollow victory as I had little lapis left chasing a 3* base, but a victory none the less. And until 2 days ago I had never pulled another Terra since.
After that my luck continued to get worse. Ludmille banner, no Ludmilles. Players choice banner, no Lennas, again. FF3 banner, terrible 11 pull (
Refia in the second). BF banner, no Tilith, but a fricking
Lenna! FF13 banner, 4 yellows, no 4* bases, so no Snows. Noctis banner, gets a Rainbow, it's not Noctis (but it was a
Ramza yay).
TLDR and The Future
Rng will never let me pull banner units lol. I decided a while back that I would make do with what I have and worked on obtaining a reasonable set of units that I liked, and would only spend tickets on TMs, while I save all my lapis for one of the big 3 units (Tidus, Eileen, Orlandu) because based on my luck I'll be lucky if I ever get a 5* base (though I do have 1 now) so I might as well go for the best.
I decided on
Eileen because I like her versatility, her sprite, and the fact everyone wants Orlandu makes him lose some appeal for me (I know it's all about e-chaining but I'll make it work). Orlandu will always be in my team as a friend unit and I don't like to double up on units (personal preference).
