I remember like it was yesterday. I just installed the game after my friend convinced me. Once I finished the tutorial I decided to do a summon. Then I saw the animation and it was Lucina, I wasn't expecting much since my luck with gacha games have been s(h)it lately. But this game is a different story, I need to start investing in her though. Before Skill Inheritances was a thing, i used up most of her sp on her base kit, which I regret.
I got the game the second or third day it was released. Some time during that week I managed to get 5* Marth and Roy. Considering their appearances in the GameCube smash bros. spurred me to get the first US iteration of FE back in '03, I was pretty stoked.
However, the first 5* I was super happy about was Ephraim. I had pulled Eirika, Julia and Ogma from the SS banner days before and was praying for some blue orbs. When I saw Ephraim appear, I believe I did several fist pumps. It was a good day. He's been a mainstay in my army ever since.
The five star I was most hyped about was Camilla I remember all my friends pulling Spring Camillas and I never got her flash forward a month later I grinded a few orbs and went to summon and my heart stopped when I saw the dust, then the flash of her hair and I screamed with joy I finally pulled Camilla it was one of the best days I ever had.
I remember when Olwen was announced, I definitely loved her artwork and her weapon, even if Reinhardt was better I wanted her but I didn't pulled her. It was sad, more when she became a 5* only unit.
Then Summer Robin appeared, once again I loved her artwork being so different so I tried to pull her and all of a sudden, Olwen appears. I was surprised, because it was so random but I was happy, specially when I found out she's +Atk -Res. I still use her since she's so powerful in Horse Emblem. Then I pulled two Summer Robin, one was +Res -Atk and the other was neutral. I'm still so happy to have both of them.
Summoned or upgraded to 5 star? Nino was my first upgraded to 5 star I was really happy about. +Spd -Def, carried me through a lot of the game and still one of my best units. Summoned though, Eirika, around the same time. Eirika during her bonus time in arena, with M Robin, Tharja, and Nino was my favorite team. They wrecked in that early meta. I loved Nino as a character in Blazing Sword, just not as a unit due to the crazy amount of training you have to give her to get her up there. Sacred Stones similarly, I loved Eirika and Ephraim. Still haven't pulled an Ephraim though :/
To be honest my first 5* has been my favorite pull so far. I installed the game on day two and over a week had passed by with no five star. I was upset but my team consisted of 4*'s Est, Camilla, Nino and Virion. By this point my friend ( who no longer plays) had gotten not 1, not 2, but 3 5* Marths. So I was getting a little peeved because Marth, Mrobin, and Tiki(Y) were some the characters I wanted to pull. So I started a new summoning session when I had 20 orbs and I had 1red, 3blue, and 1colorless. So I started with the colorless and worked my way to the red. I pulled 3gordin 3shanna 3est and a 4catria so by this point I starting to feel like I was never going to a five star. So I pulled the red orb and it felt like the world was in slow motion when the shadow appeared it was none other than Ryoma, I was so happy I got someone so awesome that people rarely have as my first five star. But sadly the joy did not last as a couple of months later once the meta and stats/ivs were being confirmed and set. I found out he was -atk +res. He still was a good mage killer when I used him though.
It was the second day I had the game installed on my phone. I didn't have the same kind of luck most people had; getting a 5 star after completing the tutorial. But I had saved up enough orbs to do a full summon. I had no one in mind to pull really, so it was cool I got at least one orb of every color. I got your run of the mill Bartre and Lon'qu. But, when I selected that one blue orb I saw the dust blast away from the summoning rock and the glow made my heart skip. Amongst the fog trod the man wielding Siegmund. I had received my favorite lord in all of Fire Emblem, Ephraim. I still use him as one of my go to units, his IVs are unparalleled, and I continue to build him even to this day.
I got the game the 2nd day after it came out.. and when i was walking home,not really knowing anything about the game, i summoned, and then, i saw young tikis animation. I was so happy, because she was a five star, and she was so cool looking. After finding out about ivs, i found out she was +spd -res.
I started one day after Ike's banner became active. I collected all the orbs I could using the f2p characters, pulled, uninstalled, collected orbs again.
I finally pulled Ike after quite a few uninstalls. He was +spd -res, as luck would have it, a few more Ikes would show up, but they had crap IVs, so I merged them into the the +spd guy. He's been working out great so far.
My first 5* is Leo, followed by Roy.
They're fine, but what makes me the happiest is...
When I summoned Reinhardt.
Pre SI, everyone's complaining how his speed makes him a low tier unit (and my first Rein is +spd btw) - and that Olwen is better than him.
I kept using him despite what everyone said, since he can oneshot Takumi and takes care of most thing, even Hector with his charged specials.
My personal first 5 star was a Jeorge who carried me through the missions. He fell off lv40 though, turns out he was -atk ;-; A few 5 stars later and I found myself with Summer Robin, who was amazing and I immediately gave her all the skills she needed for the generalist build. I still use her often, unlike Jeorge. since Lance Valor is super useful.
when I downloaded this game on day 1 I really wanted my boy Roy. everyone around me got roy at 4* and I was just getting henrys (when the game first came out Henry carried me and I still remember him). when I got home I did some quests and got some orbs. MFW I summoned my first roy and he was a 5* too, I cant explain how happy I was. A week later I find out that he was a +ATK -Spd and I still use him to this day, +1 and same IV, he has 9999 SP He is the only reason I play every day. I have never forgot that day and never will. I forgot to say my friend wanted marth and he got the 4* roy, the next day I pulled a marth and he got mad and quit the game I never felt so good about myself :)
My first 5* pulls were +SPD -HP M!Robin, +SPD -ATK Y!Tiki, and +ATK -SPD Hawkeye. Those were pretty excited as I didn't know about rerolling when I started playing and my strongest unit up until then had been a 4* Eliwood. It was also cool as the first two were pretty much the preinheritance antimeta. Though, of the three, M!Robin is the only one I still use on a regular basis.
Since then... S!Corrin was probably my happiest pull. From launch, I'd put about $20 dollars a month into this game... But I had just spent significantly more than that on the Alm/Celica Army banners and gotten nothing. So I decided to go F2P until Sigurd was released and then immediately pulled +SPD -RES S!Corrin as my first F2P pull. Needless to say, I felt like I'd made the right decision (even though I didn't pull a single CYL unit in the recent banner).
