Summons you were excited to get... and then you weren't

What i'm referencing here is mostly directed at the IV monster. Everyone has had a time where they were summoning and focus unit or otherwise pulled a unit that they had been looking for. Obviously a persons initial reaction is one of excitement to finally get a unit they had been after. But then comes then IV check. In many cases this can make or break a unit even though the unit is good under most circumstances.

The IV moster got me good with this CYL 2 banner. About 20 orbs in end got lucky enough to pull both B!Hector and B!Ephraim back to back. Obviously I was very happy... until i checked both of their IVs. B!Hector (+Spd/-Atk) B! Ephraim (+Res/-Atk). It was a deflating feeling to say the least. My (+Atk/-Res) B!Celica pulled later took some of the sting out of it but it still hurt.

I'm curious as what type of deflating summons others have experienced on banners similar to this.

My Brave Hector is -Res +Spd, I would've perfered the other way around, because with Even Res Wave activated and Fortress Res 3 seal, his statline in the enemy phase is 48/54/19/43/42 unsupported and unmerged. A full on monster.

My Brave Veronica is -Spd +HP, it's... not the best. But I just gave her Spd+3 in the A Slot, and called it a day. I'd perfer +Atk/Spd and -Anything else.

When I get any focus on the Summer Banner (Hopefully Xander), I'll go back and try again for better IVs, and I may even get some fodder in the process.

Winter Tharja: Considered myself extremely lucky due to her being my free summon during her introduction banner until I found out she's +SPD/-ATK.

L! Hector: Found out that he's +SPD/-DEF, but still viable in the meta so wasn't too upsetting.

Takumi: Played the game forever and got him recently, until finding out he's +RES/-HP. Probably will merge him with the free neutral one soon.

I was feeling good yesterday when I got a +Atk B!Hector in about 60 orbs (-def but w/e). Then I got Veronica. +HP -Spd. Then Celica. +HP -Atk. Then Ephraim. +Spd -Atk. Then another Ephraim. +Res -Atk. Then another Celica. +Def -Spd. Then another Ephraim. +HP -Def.

Getting a +Atk -Res Celica definitely helped (congrats on yours!) and I know that ratio-wise I got pretty lucky, but I also spent a disgusting amount of orbs on this banner and I'm not proud of it. Trying to figure out which Ephraim to use--I know -Atk seems like not the obvious choice but his weapon does offset it and 34 def isn't ideal for armor.

Other notable ones: after failing miserably on the Eldigan/Ayra banner nearly a year ago (literally got 5 Eldigans and no Ayras), I got her on the first Legendary banner. Was so excited when I saw she was +Spd....until I saw that she was -Atk. Still usable obviously but it stung. Pulled my second one yesterday as a pitybreaker on the CYL banner and she's also -Atk lol.

Tana is one of my favorite characters so I was so excited to pull her summer version, and then I saw that she was -Spd. Luckily a few weeks later before the banner ended I later ended up getting a +Spd one but the first one hurt pretty badly.

Recently got a free summon Ephraim (my first regular one) and was stoked until I saw he was -Atk +Res. My first L!Lucina was -Atk. The first two B!Sanakis I got were -Atk. The only B!Tharja I got was -Atk.

I know I shouldn't complain since I did end up getting the units and I wish I didn't put so much stock in IVs but I do >_< When the IVs are good, it's great, and when they're bad, it's such a buzzkill. It's nice to commiserate though!

M!Grima, super excited when he first came out, less excited when I found out he was +spd/-atk. Latter I summon for him again on the fighter skills and was excited, only to be greeted by a +hp/-atk one. (finally towards the end of the banner I managed to squeeze out a +hp/-spd which I'll take :D)
Also, both the W!Robins I pulled were +hp/-spd, which isn't good considering he can actually use his speed :/

Only got to pull 2 Nephenee's so far +Hp -Def and +Def -Spd... all I wanted was +Spd -Hp

A few seasonals. I pulled Bridelia with -Atk, S!Gaius with -Spd and H!Jakob and W!Chrom with -Def.
I also ended up pulling 4 P!Olivia on Ephraim's Legendary banner, all with the exact same bad IVs of the one I already had.
