Comment on grail heroes

I really love it that we can merge units like Marisa and Joshua now. But considering the fact that the frail prices increase by 50 every time and we do not get so many per season, it appears like a real bottle neck problem here...
Unless IS provides us with additional grails after 3.0 through other sources it might take a month to get one additional copy of the hero you want.
What are your opinions?

They will likely be rewards for GC/TT/FB,etc. Just might be awhile before they are.

I've been waiting months for Catria merges, why should this be different...

I think that limiting the amount of grails is a good idea, because I mean, if those heroes are easy to get, easy 38 max merged heroes for everyone (assuming that they have feathers stocked up). I don't think we want that too quickly. It's a necessary thing I'd say. One thing though, if they would replace Arena Medals rewards with Grails, that'd be great (like in Tap Battles and Quests)

It'll take more than a month if you want to +10 someone unfortunately. Unless you're staying in the high tiers (Which you only get a max of 40 for the tier reward...) you're going to be waiting quite a while to get enough for a single character.

If you manage to win all your battles, but aren't very active, then the max you'd hit is Tier 10. 18 plus the 20 grails you get on the third day doesn't seem all that great... Even for active players getting hit with a defense loss every day is going to be a pain in the ass.

You can get a max of 70 per season, with the max amount of grails for getting a unit I believed maxed at 500, a unit that's a TT unit that hasn't had an additional merge come out recently (so maxed merge at +1 right now) you need 9 merges, you'd need a total of 3,200 grails, assuming we will always get the 20 grails from the daily reward every season it would take 35.56 season which if I'm not mistaken that's about 4 months just to max merge one TT unit

1. This is what I wanted to point out.
2. This is definitively too long. Not sure of still playing FEH in 2039 just to merge Marisa, Joshua and Aversa xD

Positive:
- You don't need to summon for them, so you safe Orbs for other units you want to summon for.
- Copies for those units were highly desirable, so people play the game more (atleast I think that).
- Most of those units are pretty good, since some of them have a even stat spread and/or have good stats in that specific roll they're used in.

Negative:
- It takes you longer to get a unit to +10 as it normaly would for other 4 or 5 Stars since sometimes people can't play AR as activly as other ingame events occur too, etc.
- Grails are FOR NOW limited to the AR which give you about 10-50 grails (depents on what rank you are).
- It costs more of your resources (Grails + Feathers) than getting a 4 Star unit to +10 (which is debatable since you need Orbs to get Units, but Orbs do occur more frequently FOR NOW than grails, so open topic on this).
- Those units aren't everytime better than other 4 Star or 5 Star units or are less cost efficient than other 4 Star or 5 Star units.

Already had a discussion about the Topic AR and the Heroic Grails in general with best boi Seeker so I'm neutral to this.

Wait. They get 50 grails more expensive with every summon? So to +10 one GHB hero, given we get 4 copies (3 battle rewards and one from the revival quests), we need 1750 grails. Drat.

Maybe we'll can trade our massive overstocks of Arena Medals for grails. Would be nice for them to have a use.

I remember being told by someone it stops increasing once it hits 500. You won't hit that if you start at +3 with your 4 copies, but it helps for those who want to +10 and get fodder.

If you spend 100 orbs a month pulling one colour that isn't green, you're going to get, in the long run, one copy of a 3* or 4* per month because 100 orbs is good for 20-25 pulls which is how many characters are in the 3*-4* pool. So the rate of obtaining merges on GHB/TT units isn't really worse than on a summonable unit for a f2p with average variance
