I've never known a banner to spit out more off-banner 5* units than the first summer 2018 one. It took my 5th attempt before I finally got Cordelia.

Funny you say that... be prepared to witness the worst luck that can happen to anyone in this game. I thought when it took me close to 500 orbs to get Micaiah was super awful and dearly hoped it would never happen again, but the same shit occurred yesterday on summer banner 2. My haul is below, all 5* reds:

Ares (+Atk/-HP)
Lyn (+Def/-Res)
Lucina (+Def/-Spd)
Brave Roy (+HP?/-Spd, merged into neutral)
Sigurd (+HP/-Def, second one)
Reinhardt (+Def/-Spd, merged into second one)
Reinhardt (+Atk/-HP)
Celica (+Def/-Spd)
Morgan (+HP/-Spd)
Leif (+Res/-HP)
STiki (+Def/-Spd)

That's 10 combo breakers before I finally got what I was looking for. This was about double the amount of pity breakers of when I went for Micaiah during her debut, and I could have done without 50% of the fluff. I get Lucina almost 1.5 years after her release, and she's been completely invalidated, especially with those IV's, because I can just use Fake Marth. Lyn is also completely useless. Celica is yet another recent example of units I've been getting that I no longer really desire for. Lilina and Sanaki take care of my infantry red mage needs, but I'll train her up for this week and use her in arena

I also got two more Ares and Morgan as 4*'s, and it sucks Dull Ranged 3 is locked to 5* because I don't plan on merging him. I got sword horses up the wazoo, think I'm only missing Chrom and Eldigan. Also got infantry swords up the wazoo, and I don't even see a need to train up Leif. Still miffed Light Brand doesn't have in-built DC >__>

I guess the recent great luck I've been having in this game had to come to an end someday, and I was definitely getting more anxious with each combo breaker I was seeing, wondering if I was going to have to dump all my orbs into a banner that seemed super rigged. I'm not upset, but summoning hell is back in full motion and I probably need to skip Hero Fest. Was really looking forward to getting Grima, who is most likely on the banner and making him Steady Breath inheritor #2, but really need to save up for CYL2 again

No one has had luck this bad in this game, right...?

Congrats! Could you share the wording you used for negotiating? I could use all the tips I need because I know I don't have a good strategy for negotiating salary

No prob - I'll just share the whole email, but please know that pr much all the credit for this goes to B8ers who helped me during the last topic (seriously, you guys are ace).

Thank you for the very helpful information, recruiter's name. I am very excited about the opportunity of working for company name. I truly enjoyed meeting and interviewing with the talented team of professionals during my two visits to the office, and I cant wait to work alongside them.

The benefits package and the opportunities for growth seem amazing, but Im wondering if there is any wiggle room regarding the base salary. Since my second interview, I actually tested for and earned my CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner) license, a valued certification for accounting professionals. With my experience in public accounting, new certification, and masters degree, I humbly ask whether the management at company name would consider starting me at a base salary of $67,000.

I am very enthusiastic about this opportunity, and about company name. With my experience in public accounting, serving clients large and small, I am confident in the value I can immediately contribute to the company. I am definitely planning on staying on this career path long-term, so please let me know if this would be possible. Thanks as always!

Thanks! I'm going to keep this as a reference, if you don't mind

So is it generally better to negotiate over email if possible? Like if they call you and make you the offer, is the tactic to tell them I need time to think about it and wait a day or so and then respond?

I enjoyed this movie a lot; very funny with good action. Very solid performances all around. Movie did feel pointless in the grand scheme of things. I'm hoping Ghost will come into play at some point in the future because it feels like they didn't do enough with her.

Did they ever explain how Ant-Man got out of the quantum realm the first time?

I realized not too many units are good DC fodder because they have to be kind of bulky and also likeable. Hawkeye might be a good candidate for it if he ever gets an upgrade

I sunk almost 140 orbs into Camilla. Worked up a high pity rate and got her and Fallen Celica on the last circle.

Camilla is +Def -Res. Not great, but that's fine. She can be hone fliers support for my fourth arena assault flying squad. Slowly going full flier emblem.

Celica is +Spd -Hp which is pretty nice. I'm quite happy with this pull; I was considering going for her way back for that art alone

Wow, 4 flier teams? I see where your interests really lie. I would be more tempted for Camilla if I didn't already have SCorrin

I miss those Feh channel tweet events that actually gave rewards, but it's nice IS has been more generous recently in general

I'd definitely love to be able to swap GHB an TT units for different ones. But that will never happen.

Here's the next arena rotation. I'm stuck without a 5* unit unless I pull a summer unit.

Thanks, Yankees. Never upgraded Anna, huh? I dont regret doing it since shes one of the few fast axe users and youll always need her for quests. Lyon is also worth upgrading if you need a red raven mage since he has good bulk

Oh yea, forgot... MM as a TT reward again??? Why is she the only one that keeps coming back out of the group??? This is absolutely aggravating and nonsensical

Also, when does Twitter usually update with the new arena bonus units? I think it'd be nice if one of us posts it here every week for everyone to see, and we can take turns doing it so no one feels he has to do it all the time

Thoughts dump:

We are getting half the amount of male characters on Summer banners compared to last year.... the waifu pandering is real. Now we are just missing colorless Camilla. I don't expect anymore Summer banners this year

I was hoping I could skip this banner, but Tiki is looking really good, her awful voice aside

Oh, IS, you damn trolls. Giving Titania a Poleaxe but it not being SE against cavalry. Guess I can send my spares home

Nice they are being so generous with these new maps. I'll take feathers and orbs any day!

Near flawless final round for me. Hit all the final bonus hours. Strangely I may not hit top 1000 for team Lyon unless we've got a lot of people out of flags in the high ranks. I guess people had a lot of extra flags. I had 400 going in and yeah I'm rank like 4000 now.

Should get top 1000 overall though so that's cool.

Thought you said you didn't like Lyon and was joining Hardin?

One on the right looks like Azura, but probably not her since she's gotten a bunch of alts already
---

Long live Saint Seiya!!

lol Hardin needs two bonus hours to catch up to Lyon. Congrats on winning, Lyon!

Long live Saint Seiya!!

Wow, my whale friend has a +10 LH Hector with 62 Atk. Waaaay overkill for Lv 1's
---

Long live Saint Seiya!!

I got +Def/-Res Siegbert and +Def/-Spd Bow Hinoka. Also got +Spd/-Atk 4* Legault, Atk Tactic fodder

Another red sword cavalry for me to play with is nice. Siegbert is so OP in PP

Do you guys think Hinoka should stick with Luna or go with Glimmer instead?
---

Long live Saint Seiya!!

Lol wow, Lyon won. I played it too safe and couldnt get into top 1k and ended up wasting some flags at the end. I learned not to save too many flags for day 2 >___>

These things are too much of a shot in the dark

Long live Saint Seiya!!

I like to put Iceberg on mages. A consistent 18 damage is pretty damn good, Moonbow and Luna won't give you that consistency

My L'Arachel is +Atk/-Spd, and she would definitely make the best blue horse mage not named Reinhardt to-date, but time will tell if I do anything with her
---

Long live Saint Seiya!!

Yankees posted...

I don't have L'Arachel yet either. I only care so much about merging just for the arena. I'd be merging boring armors if that was the case. I'm going to build who I like.

It is done

Not technically done without the refine :P
---

Long live Saint Seiya!!

I got my first L'Arachel today. Whoever designed her weapon must hate her guts. Sucks to be her fan

"Let's boost her one stat that's the equivalent of not giving her a boost"

On another note, green is probably my most pulled color to-date. It didn't start like that, and I gradually began pulling on green more depending on who the focus was. The last few banners I pulled on, I pulled all green. It feels a bit bad sending so many Soren's home, but he's a low priority project and doesn't offer much in the way of SI, so can't be helped

I got Hector from my free summon, which is always nice. Don't think I can really fodder off a +Def -Spd one though.

Is this your first Hector?
---

Long live Saint Seiya!!

My haul from new banner:

+HP/-Def Azura
+Def/-Res Sonya
+Spd/-HP Hector
+Atk/-Res Hector

Got Azura after my free summon, and Sonya was my combo-breaker, thankfully not when I was going deep. I got both long after the time period where I actually wanted them. Azura is still nice, I'll swap her in with one of my current dancers and she'll grind up HM in no time. Sonya will just sit there for who knows how long. Love her art, but I don't ever find a need for a green mage that just needs to deal damage that's not a -bladetome user

After Sonya broke my pity rate, I was thinking I probably can only go for one Hector since I didn't know how much more I'd have to spend to get him, but then both Hector's appeared in the summoning session. Freakin' awesome!

Karla is looking like a good candidate for Hector. I am tempted to go back in for one more Hector, but probably better to save for Hinoka if she's on Luna banner and CYL2

Good grief, Lyon is being annihalated. He needs like 5 bonus hours to catch up to Ike whenever he gets behind. Gonna need an asspull of massive proportions to swing this.

Team Feathers, nothing wrong with that. Since Ike didn't win the last VG, he has a very good chance of winning this one

the original Hector will be a lot easier to pull from the banner coming out in a couple hours.

Looks like you were wrong!

I thought they were going to follow previous pattern and not have GHB and BHB currently running, but I guess I was wrong. Now I need to make some space to make way for DC fodder or two
---

Long live Saint Seiya!!

Everyone needs Hector in their life :D

But yes, LH Hector is the best one yet. Even with -Atk, he's still a beast because of his B-skill and great bulk
---

Long live Saint Seiya!!

Legendary Hero banner has the new Hector who has DC. Myrrh is a very good unit and is one of the best candidates for DC. Summoning green on Legendary Hero banner is a very good pick as you can't go wrong with any of the three 5*'s. If you don't get Hector on this banner, the OG Hector is coming in a banner soon, so you could wait for that, too

I realized it's easier to fulfill the "Defeat foes with x ally" VG quests on my own than hoping someone sends that type of ally or requesting for it. Just use an ally of that type during non-bonus hours.
