Revival Banners make a return by popular demand! If there's an old unit you're gunning for, I'd save those orbs up!
---

If you need a reminder what's on the revival banners....




---

oh so I guess...20 weeks before they maybe get added to the pool.

that's neat I guess
---

What pool are you talking about? I guess they saw enough people drawing on these banners to justify bringing them back. I couldn't remember if Micaiah was on any of these and was hoping she would. The only ones I would really want to draw for are Sonya and Bike, maybe another Hector, so all greens. It all depends on my orb reserves

What pool are you talking about?

That these units would be added to the normal 4* unit pool. There are a handful of them that I'd like to +10, but it's wishful thinking.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first legendary duo unit. I think it is more likely that we will see a legendary Ninian/Nils pair than just Nils.

---

The revival banners only have the 5* exclusive characters from Book 1. That's everything up to Farfetched Heroes so Micaiah isn't on the revival banners. Book 2 5* only units will likely get the same treatment as the Book 1 units next year.
---

I thought they said these book 1 units were going to be removed from the regular 5* pool, but added to the seasonal pool, which is a terrible idea. I don't see them adding these to the 4* pool, as much as I would love to see some of these make it in
---

the 4* pool as it is is kinda great for a late comer like me who wants to +10 weird favorites and doesn't care about stats

but for anyone who already did all that, it must just be absolute hell, even with the bonus adds they're putting in it's still just the same characters over and over.

It would be cool if they added enough characters that they could split the pool into regions and themes based on whatever banner you pull off of. They could also add gen 1 seasonals to the 4 pool this way instead of running five banners, which would be fine. It's not like Summer Xander deserves to be 5 star locked.

Legendary Banner is out!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri5q-bJyCgc" data-time="

Red: L!Ryoma, Valentine Ike, Spring Palla

Blue: L!Lucina, L!Azura, Spring Marisa

Green: L!Hector, Ranulf, Picnic Felicia

Colorless: L!Alm, Fallen Tiki

Good lord colorless is stacked.
---

We were all wrong, except I think Santa guessed it right? Leif is broken as fuck, which means AR continues to get worse and worse.... Colorless is the only option for me.

I guess I won't be pulling for Hilda then
---

Well I was one letter off, so yeah I'll take this as a win

all hail your legendary prophet

also this banner has like nothing good on it so yay I get to keep my orbs
---

also work tag

Deny follow up only works in the player's hands though. Alm will still be the bigger AR threat.

I meant it just makes it even harder to minimize lift loss when the enemy has a unit that has Galeforce on steroids and gets even stronger during his own bonus rotation. The game has always been more PP-oriented anyway
---

Also, Leif doubles when counterattacking, so people will slap Vantage on him and he'll probably have good Atk, so he's a mixed phase threat. Not saying he's necessarily better than Alm, they have their pros and cons
---

Who doesn't have free wins for their AR defense teams

only lamewads

so this really only hurts lamewads.
---

Free summoned a +Hp -Def Leif. No need to spend any orbs on this banner now
---

Free summoned Hector.

It was a hard choice between a merge and DC fodder, but really Hector is just great
---

Hector indeed is great. His conversations with his daughter are so heartwarming. I really like the one where he tells Lilina she cant have the lollipop, then tells her not to look at him with those oogly eyes and then gives in and says just one lollipop cant hurt

~130 orbs got me +Spd/-Res Alm, +Def/-HP Tiki, and +Atk/-HP Leif. Thanks, FE kami-sama!!! I cant believe i actually got all three without shelling out an arm and a leg. This is probably my best luck yet in this game. So many new toys to play around with >:)

Colorless is taking over
---

Grats on the summons guys!

I'm going to try my luck on Halloween with some of these summons. Don't want to invest too much since I don't need any of theses....
---

I spent a cool 100 trying to get that stupid witchy wand

nothing but a stupid pegasus olivia.

Oh well you're going to get powercrept anyway you stupid wand
---

Oh I just realized next banner is another forging bonds

which means we'll get 4 heros + demote + GHB so it's quite possible we get 6 farfetched heroes.

but they could also do what they did for CYL and just make a completely random unwanted loser the free unit.
---

i got Felicia first circle, Leif second. then spent all my orbs going for Palla and missed.
---

The last two times they made paralogue chapters for the farfetched banners, so they might have that be the mid-month special banner with a TT and make the next week's another regular new heroes banner.

If it makes you feel better, Silque functionally has the same weapon and she'll always be in the summoning pool after her debut banner ends.

So it's just a matter of time until she returns on another banner, hopefully with more reasonable odds.
---

New banner is tempting me >___>
---

Doing a bunch of pulling.

Got a free Halloween L'Arachel from the 2019 Halloween banner.

Free pulled a L!Alm on the legendary banner(-Atk so ez merge into my +Atk)

Dropped a few orbs into the Halloween banner trying to pull for all the reds(Which didn't spawn for the first four pulls...) got a Zeligus.

Got spooked by Norne for a moment(First one, but 4*!)

Told myself I wouldn't drop below 200 orbs, but decided on one last pull(198). Breaking that mental promise gave me a neutral Silque!

Spent about 70ish orbs inbetween free summons I'm satisfied and I'm going to stop here for now.

This also gave let me know which team I was joining. Onward, Team L'Arachel!
---

Nice, we've all been pretty fortunate lately.

I wasn't planning on it, but I decided to sink about 200 orbs into the legendary banner. Colorless is strong, and it's an excuse to get more Legaults. Picked up Alm, 2x Leif, 3x Tiki, 2x Legault, and my first Hector. Hector has an attack bane unfortunately, but Tiki is now +Spd. Alm and Leif are now +Hp base. Pretty happy with that result
---

*Sees a juicy Rolf lead in arena that has 20+ crowns*

This bait, isn't it?

*Tibarn, Naesala, and Reyson all at +10*

YEP!

Thankfully managed to bait Reyson, so party wipe averted. Just wish this boy had more attack, doing 0 to armors and some dragons are threatening too....
---

Congrats, Yankees! Colorless is such an easy decision on this banner as no other color has all three as broken af units. I've been mulling all day on what A skill to give Evil Tiki since she only hits 38 Spd at neutral with Solitary Dream active and decided I'm finally going to fodder off my -Atk Yarne. That's probably Tiki's most desired A skill unless she's -Spd
---

Atk/Spd Solo is probably good, but it might be more valuable on a healer that has less viable options. I decided to give her Def/Res Solo since I had a minus atk Duma that I never used. Distant Def and Fortress Def/Res are other expensive options, but maybe less appealing without a spd boon.
---

Yea, I've thought about giving Atk/Spd Solo to Veronica, but never pulled the trigger. She actually makes better use of Atk/Spd Push 4 than Camilla. I feel like as a support unit, she doesn't need all the premium skills since she won't be one-rounding much usually unless her buffs/debuffs have already gone off. I still don't understand why they have to gimp the healers' skillset so much
---

Sweet, pulled a Genny on the first circle of her revival banner. She's a unit I've been wanting for a long time(She's even +Atk).

Not even for Wrathful fodder, girl is just adorable.

Gotta say, not feeling this one.

Tethys has dreadful fodder. Like man, way to make the colorless pool worse. She's a dancer sure, but...

Gerik has the long awaited Firesweep Axe, and some useful skills alongside it. My favorite of the four here.

Ewan.... not too sure what to make of him. Sabotage Spd seems annoying though.

Duo Ephraim and Lyon. One didn't need the alt, and the other deserved more than to be a background character. Duo skill seems to be a three movement ability(Which thank fuck the ai can't use).

Ross is the debut 3*-4* unit.
Cormag is the GHB unit.

Huh. First time in a while we've had a male dominated new banner isn't it? Anyway, I'll probably be skipping this one. Nothing high priority for me right now.
---

Blazing Sword must be the one series with the least amount of banners. I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but it seriously needs some love -___-

I'll also be skipping this banner, which is a great to conserve orbs again. I went back into LH banner and got a +Spd Tiki and a dupe Hector. I probably want to keep the +Def Tiki, right?
---

I think I messed up with my class builds. I've been pretty much winging it and going with what I think is "canon" for each character. I checked which classes are best and I'm way behind in my builds.

Will I have enough time (I just made it to 2/22 pre-time skip) to get some of the Advance Classes like Great Knight, Bow Knight, Death Knight if said character is only D/D+/C in Riding/Flying? Requirements for Riding is A for all the Knight classes...

Edit: Oops wrong topic. Carry on.
---

I can't believe we got 2 fe8 banners in a row without moulder

But at least there's very few fe8 characters in general, so the next one has to be nothing but bangers! here's looking to 2021 powercrept moulder
---

I'm not too excited by this banner either. I like Ephraim and all, but I have three of him at this point. This sets the precedent that Duo characters won't be joining the normal pool.

I'd use the +Spd one with the darting stance seal. She won't be doubled very often

Yea, you could argue for either case. I was thinking with Atk/Spd Solo, she should have enough Spd to not get doubled, but doubling is a different issue. My idea with her is to ensure she doubles and KO's the enemy she initiates on so she could ready Aether for the next fight

It's been a while since we've had an all-infantry banner, so that's kind of interesting. As for the upcoming refines, it sucks Kana is getting a refine before Corrin. Corrin was part of my main team in the early stages of the game and it'd be nice to dust her off again for AA fun
---

it just occurred to me that there is a slight chance of farfetched having a duo hero

imagine if we get Anna but she's duo'd behind a different hero lol
---

It would obviously be Duo Anna
---

Duo Anna would be pretty good since there are several awakening annas
---

While were kind of on the topic of Pair Up, what is even the point of it?? Just feels like a non-factor in this game and its dumb it replaced LHs second stat boost effect
---

Anna won't be on Farfetched 3 unless it gets delayed to 2020. The November quests still just say "Anna" for her quest. Before New Years Fjorm came out, quests that mentioned Fjorm that would last until after New Years Fjorm came out were changed to say "Fjorm: Princess of Ice". The fact that they didn't do this for Anna likely means Anna isn't getting an alt in November. Farfetched 3 can't be in December because December banners are Christmas and New Years.
---

TRE don't be a hater

believe in something
---

If Anna gets skipped in Farfetched 3 and doesn't get an alt before CYL4 voting, she pretty much just straight up wins CYL4.
---

I mean maybe, but she's gotta compete with Three houses ladies too like Bernie and Dorothea.

Though she might be able to beat Dorothea just barely.
---

Rallies are more important natural popularity. I don't expect Anna to have any problems taking first place overall unless another rally shows up.
