I got Tailtiu with the latest orbs and I can dig it. Her voice work is appealing and in a way enhances the basic but cute artwork. Mainly though, I can use a good blue mage in the new account.

So I got an Ayra, Tailtiu, Performing Olivia, and an Elincia on this fresh new account. All of which I've zeroed out on orbs trying to get on the main account lol.

 

[SliceSabre]

Never been so scared of a summer robin before.

 

[toastyToast]

Orbs gave another 5 star Camilla. No Sigurd yet (where the heck are the red orbs) but I'm at 6 green 5 stars now. 2 Faes, 2 Camillas and 2 Deirdres.

I'll try maybe 10 more orbs from Tempest then I'll try to get Ayra

 

[Nohar]

Huh. Pulling for Deirdre and Taytult gave me Abel (+SPD - HP). I got Cain and Abel almost back to back. This is somewhat poetic.

EDIT: Aaaand just got Deirdre (-ATK +DEF though). For a total of 18 orbs (got Beruka, Abel, Deirdre and Odin, in that order), I'm quite pleased (well, I did spend 70 orbs before on that banner before finally getting Sigurd, so this is justice).

 

[pelicansurf]

Horse Emblem kind of destroys all these challenges. However made a custom Manekete slayer squad of:

Ayra, Julia, P. Azura, and B. Lucina.

Did work.

 

[Aveyn Knight]

Special maps are hard but doable since you can afford losses.

Used my new orbs to pull colourless and got nothing new, so er... nothing new.

 

[Cerium]

Horse Emblem kind of destroys all these challenges.

Running Horse Emblem, can confirm.

 

[Firemind]

Running Horse Emblem, can confirm.

The first two I can auto battle. The third, not quite lol

 

[dreamlongdead]

You can even use Light's Blessings if you want. I still have 13 left.

 

[pelicansurf]

I use my lights blessings for the dumbest stuff. Usually stuff I need to beat with 4 people alive for a gem that I don't feel like figuring out.

 

[Hours Left]

The Manakete map was annoying but the rest were cake.

 

[pelicansurf]

Pulled another Deirdre with my gems from this... this time -SPD instead of -ATK. Come on game, will literally take any other bane. She loses 4 SPD on -SPD too. Guess she's fodder.

 

[dreamlongdead]

I used two of them to beat Paralogue 13 Lunatic Quests. That's the kind of content these items were made for. It's not dumb.

 

[Mr. Virus]

Thought my pity rate on the dancer banner was burst by a +Def/-Atk Mathilda (ew) only to pull a +Atk/-Spd P!Azura AND a Cain to feed WoM to her.

Not the best nature but finally got one of PA characters so I'll take 'em!

Thought biorhythm was a thing of the past but the pauper life sure emulates it.

 

[SenorArdilla]

No focus colors, so I pulled a red. 4* +Spd/-Res Marth.

 

[Firemind]

Phew finally pulled P. Azura. Not the ideal nature (+hp -def) but can't complain.

Now should I continue going for Olivia that's the question. Pulled my tenth Clarine and none of them are +atk lol

 

[ggx2ac]

Trying to get Sigurd, appearance rate broken by Alm.

I guess I'll save my orbs when TT starts, I just wanted more TT bonus units to make it easy to farm Hero Merit with.

 

[NSESN]

The only hard one was the dragon emblem on lunatic. But that was because I tried to make a deathless victory.

 

[Octagon]

Huh... my 3rd Julia, was rather hoping for her mother to join.
I also 5-stared Arvis because I kind of like him.

 

[Sterok]

Used new orbs on the Ayra banner. Got +Spd/-Def Eldigan. Is that good? Well I'm happy. I wanted him as well. Time to save up for Halloween and hope they don't spring Witch L'Arachel on us.

 

[A.J.]

All my orbs went into the Sigurd banner. I got my 100th 4* Fir, Abel, Palla and Hinata.

 

[Sushen]

Never been so scared of a summer robin before.

How come her stats so high? She's not even merged.

 

[Samstrike]

How come her stats so high? She's not even merged.

It's from the new challenge maps. Her stats are boosted.

 

[Ondore]

Plowed orbs into the Genealogy banner and got a five star red and green... Ogma and Hawkeye!

At least Cherche is ready to go as soon as I promote my +5 Raven for Brave Axe+. Not thrilled that I'm stuck with only a 20% unit in the TT, though.

 

[Scum]

A +SPD -DEF Olivia is not bad, right...?

 

[NSESN]

I really doubt they will make special skins for any character that aren't from Fates/Awakening, maybe if they are a lord or other main character like Lyn and Caeda.

 

[Shinypogs]

I can see shadows of valentia chars getting them as well.

 

[_Legacy_]

Ploughed through these challenges rather easily with horse emblem. Was able to auto battle the normal and hard, lunatic required manual input.

 

[NSESN]

I can see shadows of valentia chars getting them as well.

Alm and Celica yes, but the others I doubt. Blazing blade is perhaps the 3rd most popular game and still only got 1. Meanwhile Xander alone got 2.

 

[The_White_Rose]

A +SPD -DEF Olivia is not bad, right...?

Regular or Performance? That's a great nature for performance and +spd is great on regular too but def bane hurts her ability to fight Hector.

 

[Blackquill]

Not the usual subject but still worth talking : this thread made me realize again that gachas can be very dangerous for some people even for generous one like FE Heroes. So it's even sadder when IS is trying to prey even more on people lately, remember guys that this game can be preying without noticing, it happened to me but I fortunately stopped at the right time, hope it's the same for you guys, be safe !

 

[The_White_Rose]

Got Sigurd after 3 full pulls. Glad to have a 40% unit.

 

[NSESN]

I wish orbs were 5 times cheaper and IS made paid skins so they can have income with another method.

$2 for 3 orbs, and that doesn't even let you pull once. Doesn't get much better. Best deal gets you 1.88 orbs per USD.

If it was 5 orbs per dollar, I'd actually purchase some.

No idea if other gachas are "better" in this regard.

I agree. If it was something like that even I woud pay, not to have more orbs becuase I am fine so far being f2p, but to support the game.

They aren't really. This is probably on the more expensive end for gachas but then you have to appreciate that you get discounted pulls and a better pull percentage for 5 stars compared to other gachas.

lets just say, fgo is about 100 times worse

Nah it's the norm.

This game is actually rather generous for a gacha game. There's far worse out there (FGO).

 

[Apenheul]

Faye broke my 5%+ pity rate on the Performing Arts banner so no dancer for me and I expected to be really bummed out but to my personal surprise I'm okay with it. I'm just going to make the most out of the situation and finally promote and build Cherche for a Flier Emblem team and maybe even build Faye.

Sad but true, yet this is the reality of all gacha games.
If you choose to not be f2p then you've got to know your limits and to know when to stop...which most people don't. Every gacha game usually has that element that entices you to spend a little more (in the case of FE:H, this is actually the pity rate).

Once you spend $, Gacha games basically become a form of legalized gambling IMO.

lets just say, fgo is about 100 times worse

If people complain about this game's gacha, I can't wait for them to try FGO LOL.

Thats not the worst pity breaker in the world! At least you have Firesweep Bow+ now (who you can feed to a +Speed Brave Lyn if you have her lol).

 

[NSESN]

I will never try FGO, I want to keep enjoy the FATE series not being angry with it.

Wise, there's a reason why the OT subtitle is "That's hell you're walking into" lol

 

[Fallout Phoenix]

I tried again to pull for Olivia with the new orbs from the developer challenges and my pity rate got broken by Lucius of all people.

 

[Apenheul]

I completely forgot about that, I do have a +Spd -Atk Brave Lyn. Thanks.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Was wondering if anyone is on ios11, did they really remove top grossing from the App Store?

 

[Scum]

Thanks. It’s regular Olivia.

As far as I can tell, yes. Unless they hid somewhere - I can only see the free/paid charts.

I can put up with the price tag if the return is somewhat worthy, at least fodder. How often did we pull with 20 orbs only to get craptastic 5 units that went straight sent home? I can't speak for others, but it has happened to me a lot.

I'm only a sucker when it comes to Roy. Not cosplay and swimsuit shit though. That shit can die in a fire.

Honestly, if there's a healer with a staff with 14+ mt and some sick mods that can be inherited I might be tempted...
