Do you guys really fall for this?

The latest heroes tend to have one character that has a completely new thing that just completely feels like they want to take your money. I felt the Múspell banner had that between these "Duel" skills and Levaetain's...Levaetain.

Mia's weapon description is a fucking essay. And it may or may not be worse that she's a flier. I also find a new trend in making healers that are actually good at combat. Healers started getting really good the moment they gained their refines, but this is just completely overshadowing the others.

This is somewhat an actual question and not a criticism towards the community. I wouldn't fall for a really obvious marketing scheme like this unless I genuinely like these characters.

I mean Mia's been my favorite character in the series since I started playing the series with Radiant Dawn.

So rip saving orbs for Micaiah to be a focus again, that didn't last long...

I just think people should pull for characters because they actually like them, instead of feeling like they're being left in the dust if they don't get the latest new toy.

I might be overreacting, though. For all I know, the effect might not be any worse than the ones we have already.

This logic can be applied to almost every single new banner. They will always bring at least one character who has something new, which makes them powerful or exceptional in some shape or form and one day, it will be your favorite character as well. So I guess that we'll all "fall for it" eventually then.

I tried to make it as obvious as I could that these latest ones seem like a genuine marketing ploy to either get them or get lost. That's what it really seems like with the latest "Duel" skills, and it's not just some new thing that you can brush aside. With the Duel skills, competing F2P might as well be forced to take it.

I see. Well, I hope it only seems to be that way and that IS hasn't really become even scummier that it already is.

Although I do agree that the release of duels and Tiki did shake things up a bit in arena, which is the only place where these new units matter and I was struggling a bit to make a good enough score to keep up and get back to T21.

It's clear that the devs are probably starting the next power creep wave tho. It's essentially very similar to the same exact time during last year - remember how everyone and their grandma wanted H.Jakob or H.Henry. That was closely followed by the CYL rejects (Mia and company) and the Ayra debacle. Ayra is basically the single hero, who best proves your point, because people went nuts over her only because of how powerful she is, because she's not really an interesting character otherwise.

Now that you mention it, I was having Ayra in mind...I personally don't remember being as ridiculous, other than dethroning every other Red Sword unit. Maybe I wasn't aware just how powerful stuff like Wrath and R.Astra Spd scaling could make her.

I also felt like I was one of the few that went crazy over Henry...everyone and their mother was all over Jakob and he was invisible next to him. This was before Bold Fighter, too.

She is extremely potent,I run a melee set with b atk/spd,wrath and e spd wave her RA procs 36 damage.

Mia is 1 of my top 5 fe characters and I love healers,I can't make a team without 1,so I would try for her at some point,but the other 3 I can pass,I'm tired of IS's favoritism towards armored units.

Well banner like those are the reason why i had more than 1000 orbs for CYL2, armors just don't appeal too much to me, bow and dagger users even less as they are not that good in this meta, H!Jakob strong point was him being colorless and being minmaxed.
Guess i'll keep saving untill B!Hector comes in a legendary banner with either Fjorm, L!Ephraim or another good fodder (like Nephenee)

I am going for my precious dragon. Shes precious and adorable. I am used to special having the -atk like my halloween jakob from last years banner.

Ive actually kinda ignored most of the banners and stuck with one I liked best. I got lucky on a pull here and there on the others but as much as I want what they are giving, I feel it's more rewarding to focus on one with units I really like and get to foddering and merging. There's nothing I feel I need from the bait banners rn aside from the one I keep pulling from.
