I just reviewed my box a bit in anticipation of SA3 (which I suppose could come really soon) and I can't believe I still do not have one single goddamn 5* red mage to this day. I have spent more orbs than I can count sniping red, including 500+ for Celica, among others. Yet up until now, the only capable red mage I have is a 4* + 10 TA Raven Sophia. Next up is a terrible 4* -SPD + DEF Tharja I never bothered to train ,and that has lead me to support her in VG, ironically. After that I have a 4* -ATK Lilina, and have never seen the faces of Celica, Sanaki, or Katarina.
I mean, I'm also short of green mage but that's understandable because I lack greens in general. I'm literally flooded with red but yet I have zero 5* red mages, and that makes me fear green mage in AA almost like how I fear Mr. Tinyhands. Well, at least BK GHB is coming to enrich my red DC options.
I know there are a lot more red swords than red mages currently in the pool, but that doesn't make me a lot less salty. It is funny because blue is a completely different story for me; I have almost all the best blue mages. I have +Atk Tinyhands + 1, +SPD Olwen +1, +SPD Scorn, neutral Linde I got recently, -SPD Delthea (unfortunate IV but still fairly useful in AA due to her insane firepower). However for lances, I have zero Cordelias (not even a 4*), failed to snipe Tana, and no Effie with a worthy IV to promote. lol
