I hate getting 3 stars...

We must all wade through the common muck to find that elusive 5*, usually not the one we want and likely with poor IVs, such is life. Some give good skills at least, 3* Barst and Arthur give good support skills, 2000 feathers gets you Fury, Atk Smoke, Desperation.

I would love a 3* +Res-HP Catria, 3* Boey, or a couple others, but alas they avoid me like I have some terrible disease.

I need more Hinatas, Shannas, Subakis tho

Personally I enjoy building up merge projects more than just getting a one-off 5 star that will wind up being benched anyways. Even though many of the new heroes 'powercreep' the old units, chances are you aren't going to be able to get enough merges on 5 star exclusives/seasonals (without heavy orb/wallet investment) to actually have them outshine a +10 Fae, Eirika, Felicia, Sheena, etc.

Long-winded way of saying, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade...or open your wallet.

Actually, the demotions have actually made it more difficult for me to complete many of my outstanding merge projects. I feel like I'll never see a Gwendolyn ever again...haha

I would LOVE to get 3*s of Eirika and Fae, but fuck no

If it's Hinata, Shanna, Barst, Selena, or Palla, I'm easily happy. Could use a LOT more fodder for fury, desperation, goad fliers, even at feather cost.

Even Stahl or Seth I'll take for swap, and Cecilia or Oboro for their rallies (so that I can grab more skills off characters who have dual rallies; those often have other rare skills).

I wouldn't mind so much if it were a 3* I wanted....like that last Gwendolyn I need to finish my +10 project.
