Yeah, I had a feeling we weren't going to get a copy of all of the Legendary heroes for free, but I'm still not really happy about it... it's a shame, too, because I love her design and would love a green mage who I'm assuming based on her skills is high res (all of the other green mages I have are high def low res ones aside from Nino) but I don't want Spring Chrom or Amelia as badly. One of each would be fine, but during the last legendary summoning fest thing I spent 120 bucks ;_; and came away from it with nothing but two Brave Lyns, who was the only character I didn't want on colorless... so, needless to say, I'm not terribly optimistic about sniping a color where I only really want one unit.
I think I'm gonna mainly focus on colorless this time since I'd love Dazzling Staff fuel and I like Innes a lot but still don't have him... I have a solid Elise so I don't need any more of her, but I wouldn't mine merging mine and maybe seeing if I can get a +Spd -Def one instead of +Spd -Res. honestly tho i forgot she was on this banner until i started typing so that kinda throws a wrench in my plans here..........
Blue is tempting because I love Charlotte and Fjorm is a unit who could really benefit from merges (plus Atk/Def Bond is a great skill for my play style,) but I feel like I'd just roll a bunch of Spring Lucinas. I wouldn't mind one of her for completion, I guess, but I already have a whole bunch of speedy blue mages and I already have those dupe Lyns for Swift Sparrow if I really want to give someone that skill (so far I haven't found any situation I really do since anyone who'd like it would probably do just as well or better with Life & Death 2 or Fury 3 anyway.)
For red I'd still like a Ryoma even though I have plenty of sword lords, but I don't think I'll touch red if I can avoid it since I already have a Sigurd and Brave Roy and they're good enough to not have me craving merges. I guess they have some nice A skills for SI, but I dunno... I mean, I was incredibly disappointed last time getting two Brave Lyns even though Swift Sparrow and Atk Smoke are pretty nice skills. For the most part I'd rather get new units than dupes unless their 5* weapon is inheritable, they have a better IV than my current 5*, or they have a super rare skill that changes a character's play style completely (like Close/Distant Counter or Wrathful/Dazzling Staff.)
I'm really nervous because of how poorly the last event went for me and this one has even fewer characters I want, so maybe I'll just roll until my pity rate gets broken and save my orbs afterward... for all I know there'll be a banner full of units I want right after it because the gacha is a cruel mistress...
also this tempest is very fun bc my -hp +def christmas lissa with a close def seal takes pretty much 0 damage from everything and can usually solo the last stage if she needs to and it's truly inspiring..... i'm so glad i managed to get her
