Funny Story

Today on my quick summons have been very weird in a funny way.

It all started after I promoted the free Adult Tiki to 5 Stars.

While I was getting the feathers ready, I accidentally sent the free Gaius home without finishing the quests (oops). Hopefully I can get another one soon.

Then, I did a few quick summons to see if I can pull another Gaius. My pity on the Legendary Banner was 8.50% (I pulled previously to try and get a Raven tome for my new Performing Performing Inigo.

What happened surprised me. Three summons later, I pulled a -Speed Nanna (Foddered Drive Def 2 to Reinhardt), and TWO Halloween Jakobs! The second one was at 3%.

The first Jakob was -Attack +Speed and then thankfully the second one was -Speed + Defense. So I merged the -Attack Jakob into the +Def.

So, accidentally sending the Gaius home wasn't totally a mistake. I still have a -HP +Res Gunter I pulled on the Legendary banner a few days ago to still get a few orbs. R.I.P 2 Gaius Orbs and Neutral Gunter.

At the very least, I got a great Halloween Jakob and I already outfitted him with a Brave Bow build with Wary Fighter (I'm no whale. Otherwise, I would've slapped Bold Fighter on him). Even with a normal Brave Bow and Death Blow 2, his damage output is incredible. Now I have experienced how powerful Halloween Jakob is. I'm excited to use him going forward!

Just wanted to share this funny story. Has anyone done something like this? Please feel free to share similar experiences in this discussion. Thanks for reading this!

I have promoted some units that lots of people think are garbage, just for fun. My 5* Jagen wrecks face. My 5* Florina can KO several top-tier units in a single hit. 5* Bartre is next up! I'll get to Odin someday, but he is not a priority.

Except for spending feathers promoting junk to 5*, I tend to be pretty cautious with any decision that can't be easily reversed. I don't often send units home. So that means I don't have any stories quite like yours.

But one thing that I did that turned out to be a happy accident was this: I thought, "Man, Hector is so good with Distant Counter. Hmm. I wonder what B skills I could inherit to him that would go well with it. Well, distant counter should theoretically pair really well with skills that increase the number of times he can hit. I know! I'll spend 2,000 feathers promoting this Subaki so that I can give Hector Quick Riposte 2!" I totally forgot that Hector already has it incorporated into his weapon, which is, like, his entire gimmick.

What a useless skill inherit. Total waste of 2,000 feathers. Or so I thought.

But! Fast forward about 1 year, and Hector gets a weapon refine. So now if I want, I can opt into using Berserk Armads without giving up the Quick Riposte 2 effect, and I can leave his S slot open for something else, like Armored Boots. I never could have foreseen this, but it's not so bad in the end.
