Grinding is now done. Just need 300 Grails for the final merge on Julius, then I can figure out my next Grail Project. Averse would probably be the quickest choice as she is already at +5 and unlike the other choices of Summer Leonie and Ninja Shamir will actual get a refine. Though for now I can focus on spending feathers to merge Seliph. Plus with the upcoming banner forbweapon refines I may be able to get the final 2 merges for Adrift Female Corrin.

Recently finished merging Aversa to +10. I would like to give her "R Duel Flying 4", so she becomes usable for scoring… but I don't have a  (spare) Palla. She will have to make do with "HP +5" for now.

Currently working on Ninja Shamir. Gave her "Flashing blade 4" (and "Null follow-up") so she can deal quite a bit of true damage. Only need about 150.000 feathers to finish merging her.

After that I will probably work on finishing to merge Natasha and Colm, though that requires me to first summon respectively 6 and 11 more copies.

Bad portrait photo of dinner, not picture is dessert which was a nice sticky toffee pudding. Spent a good portion of dinner reminiscing about school, a place I was barely at because hurray for mental health issues. Now we are back on the train and my back is sore and the seats which are available are folding ones with no back support.

Yeah I think the lists aren't 100% accurate quite yet, saw some saying Combee wasn't and that's where I got mine

Got all my 'mons caught. Couldn't find any Drifloon in the underground so I gave up and just caught a Ponyta. Nickname's are all based on prehistoric creatures. Eury is from the Eurypterids (or Sea Scorpions), Chasm from Chasmosaurus, Mega from Megatherium, Ankylo from Ankylosaurus, Chal from Chalicotherium, and Haikou from Haikouichthys. Next step is get enough Berries to get Haikou to evolve.

Game has now been beaten, and Eury was the MVP in the Cynthia fight. Ankylo was my main anti-Barry 'mon as he could tank Staraptor well enough I could just set up all 6 Curses then sweep. Chasm didn't do much, outside of occasionally setting up Stealth Rock, as I deleted Metal Burst as his Naive nature was actually helping out speed most of the stuff Galactic Grunts the the time and then forget to get it back until after I entered the fight with Aaron. Mega had his big moment against Mars and Jupiter on Spear Pillar. Haikou was great againt Bertha and Flint. And finally there is Chal, who honestly was the worst performer as Eury was just better in every stat bar Sp.Atk and after getting the Razor Claw was guaranteed a Sniper crit. Ended the game with 9 Pokémon + the Manaphy and Riolu eggs. I need to play more Pokémon games without falling back on 'mons I've used before, cause that was kinda fun.

Up to 25 summons, also got a Laegjarn, hoping to get a Volke and a good Boon Marcia (though want as many as possible so I can +10 Marcia)

She was among one of my free summons on the banner. Not really interested in any of the other featured characters, so I can save back up again after failing yet again to add Summer Tana to my barracks (Morgan gave Young Lyon "Atk/Res Solo 4" and "Atk/Res Menace", Perceval has been turned into a combat manual that I still need a target for).

Also managed to get a couple of Marcias (1 at +Spd, and 1 at +Atk) and a Volke at +Spd, as well as a Brave Lyn merge. Volke is probably going to be foddered off to Sothe or Ylgr for Lethality and either Times Pulse or Null-Follow Up. Will probably fodder off one Marcia to Summer Norne for Unbound Lance. Did want to get an Astrid as she was one of my most used units in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, but no luck there.

Somehow I'm not surprised that you'd choose to +10 her, fitting

Oh dang casually getting almost +10 5 star

I think I might have 6 Female Kana around...

Grinded out the Oboro one, in 3 hours 37 minutes game time, and units with a good balance of stat growths are very nice. Next one on the list will probably be Camilla since that is probably going to be the easiest between her, Selena, and Beruka.

Wow you're on a roll

The Reina run was already mostly done, since I had done up to chapter 21 a few days ago and then took a break for a few days so it didn't take that long to finish. Would never try and do 2 runs in the same day as I can only do chapter 9 so many times before I get annoyed.

Really cool axe

Doesn't Hammer help with that? Though yeah she's got weird stats. Speed and Defense is a weird combo

It probably would, but since I keep money for skills and stats boosters, and the only Hammer drop requires going through killing stuff on chapter 19, it will impact the time it isn't worth it. Plus Corrin/Kana can deal with them better. Could use the Armourslayer, since I drop an Arms Scroll on characters after I reclass into Dread Fighter. Though at the end it doesn't really matter as it just devolves into using the S-support partner as a offensive skill bot for Norhian Trust, and using Replicate Kana as a healer when needed.

Finished my Hana run, managing to shave off another 37 minutes bringing me down to 4 hours 12 mins. Nearly halved the time of my first run. I think I am getting better at playing the game now.

Best girl run

And after spending all day doing another one I have done a run in sub 5 hours with Flora. Sure it was probably by a few seconds since I can only go off what it says on the battle save but still, turns out soloing the game with Corrin is more efficient than using 2 or more units. Flora was suppose to be a hard one since it is a chapter 23 recruitment, yet due to late recruitment ends up making the game easier as I'm not having to split healing items between two units.

Well. back home and turns out my 2DS just didn't like my old charger since it is can actually work with the new one. To top it off my old charger wasn't event the issue as it is charging my new one just fine. So at least I don't have to go through the bother of getting everything working properly just yet.

Kuroboshi does good stuff

Oh I love this actually

I think I might have about 10 by now, aiming for Halloween Ena as my next I think

Lena is a surprising one...I'd say, except one of my first was Maria

Currently have 11 units at 5 star +10 myself, with  "Saleh: Vernal sage" being the most recent addition. But I'm close to twelve; "Innes: Frelian moonlight" requires just 1 more merge, so he should be finished next month.

My other projects are currently stuck due to a lack of copies (the closest to completion is "Knoll: Darkness watcher", who sits at +7). 

Built Lena as I wanted another +10 healer so it was either her or Maria since both were +1 and I had enough saved in Manuals to get them to +10. And of the two I had already given Lena Warthful Staff so it would've been easier than trying to get more Wrathful/Dazzling Stafff fodder for Maria.

And with a using a couple of Stamina pots, I now have Saleh at +10.

Now to pick 2 new merge projects.

Being an actual dancer would be better for Marianne, as Isolation is limited in the units it is on, and is only seen in AR, where you are likely going to see things like Pulse skills and Special/Crafty Fighter anyway. The skill is also useless in Resonant Battles due to proccing after combat. Wings of Mercy strats could be fun, but even with 70% damage reduction, 17 base Def isn't great.

Both 2nd place picks are my preferred units, as while Gatekeeper seems nice with his super obstruct B-skill, Martha Falchion is can be really stacked. He has good synergy with Fae as she can both counter his blue weakness and provide +5 spectrum buff to everyone.

While Eirika just has nearly everything a melee cav could want. Null Guard, player phase Null Follow-Up, Canto and a Slaying effect. If the healing effect was done on hit as opposed to Special procs it would be better as then Galeforce would be better.

I feel the others are gonna seem better off the bat but people will figure out ways to make Marianne much better

Agreed that Marianne would probably have been better of as a regular dancer. Her special can actually trigger in resonant battles, but that requires the foe to survive… which isn't ideal. But it bypasses the penalty/restriction of bringing multiple dancers for modes like resonant battles and grand conquest. Could maybe also be annoying in pawns of Loki. 

As for healing on hit with "Galeforce": it sounds a bit like a double-edged sword to me. On one hand you have a better chance of surving the next(/current?) combat. But on the other hand it makes it harder to remain below the HP threshold for "Wings of Mercy", and thus make it harder to sweep the enemy team. 

OH! you meant rain. I was like wtf
