What unit do you always want but never get? Who is your great white whale?

Not talking about units from time limited banners. Which unit is repeatedly available but never seems to find its way to you?

If "Free to Pay" this should be obvious. If "Pay to Play" to the point where you have all the units, which unit have you never been able to get with the IV you truly desire?

Mine is Hector. Got Sheena instead. She's OK and all but not that Distant Countering behemoth.

I'm always on the lookout for an Elise, since I find her capabilities very unique and interesting, but it is the lack of Hector that leaves the most conspicuous hole in my lineup. Let alone having a spare so that I might fodder off distant Counter, that's an even more distant dream.

Report

Hector and Elise were my first two five stars. I got them both on my very first summoning session after starting the game. I really want Celica I used a lot orbs but no luck.

Lucina. She was my counter pick in Smash Bros and despite being in the game since release she's one of only two red units that still elude me. Functionally, she's useless as I have all four of the other Falchion units, but still.
Alm and Ryoma were among the last reds to join me, but the funny thing is I have a F2P account that doesn't get anywhere near all the free orbs but still managed to get a +S-H +2 merged Ryoma, and a +1 Blyn with the same IVs.

Aqua, both of them. Hector is another, but that’s probably the case for a lot of people.

I think the most annoying ones however is Cordy and previously Nowi since they’re available at 4 star. Been playing for 9+ months now and I’m yet to get Cordy and only very recently got a neutral Nowi.

Hinata. I've gotten over 10 Eliwoods since the last time I summoned hinata.

It sort of depends on who the event unit is for me. I never got S!Corrin, even though I used a ton of orbs. Shigure was that for the performing banner. Otherwise I've never once pulled a Chrom, not even a 4 star one. Also, I have never pulled a ATK+ Cherche.

Report

+ATK Cherche would be neat, and I've also wanted one, but she's already high on the ATK scale and with flier buffs it is almost overkill. I'm quite partial to my +DEF Cherche. Over time she's made me want +ATK less and less.

Report

Currently, I want Delthea and Amelia, but I'm focusing my orbs on the halloween characters. I don't really want them, but since they're one-time only...
I really need some Matthews to sacrifice for hone speed, but somehow I rather got Kageros or P! Olivias last month, and I think I'll rather get Sakunyan and/or Jakob this time...

Report

For me is Klein, I don't even what him just for fodder, I really like the character but he just evades me from every colorless stone in every banner...

Report

I've been fortunate enough to gather a bunch of Kleins. So many that I've grown an affection for the guy enough to want to play him. Unfortunately all his IVs have been dreadful and every single Klein has been Foddered off. Death Blow and Brave Bows for everyone!

Report

For the longest time, it was Amelia, but I got her while attempting to get H! Henry, so that's no longer the case. Now, I think it would have to be Delthea. I don't have any awesome blue mages outside Reinhardt and Olwen who demand Horse Emblem support to be their strongest.

Report

I got a *5 -ATK Leo early on and he's been frustrating to use. I was forced to play him though, and I've played him enough to know that with a better IV I'd adore him. Leo doesn't need to be a death god, but -ATK leaves him just a little short on damage to kill certain enemies he does need to be able to kill. Everything else about him is so. much. fun. and I hope you find him with neutral ATK or better.

Report

I was interested in Linde before SI, then after SI immediately wanted to pair her with my Eirika. Though as a F2P player I know I shouldn't bank on any character and just use what I have.

Report

Sadly and I feel stupid for not having him... Brave Roy. This unit is probably slept on a lot but HOLY SHIT he's a fucking pimp.

Report

I was excited to get Brave Roy, but using him has been a bit disappointing. While he's definitely a useful unit, he's been less useful and fun than I thought he'd be.

Report

Slap lunge on him and watch the defense wins roll in. One of the most fun units to play, and one of the most annoying units to play against imo.
11 def wins, 7 perfects until last night (tier 20).
For style points, i dont run cavalry cancer with him. Just Sonya and Azura with WoM and bonus unit (Arvis atm). Built in heavy blade, lunge and galeforce is just heaven.

Report

It was Hinoka, but I managed to get her off the recent focus. I guess the unit I want most now would be Minerva, but Hinoka was my last unit I'd consider a white whale. Ephraim and Lyn were my other main ones.

Hector, but since I now have a nice Sheena and an Amelia, I feel like I don't really need him anymore.

Guess Elincia now is that unit (I need a red Flier).

...Elincia.

Her debute banner left me with a 5* Lyn, and a 5% summoning rate. I was beyond heartbroken AND angry.

Now, with this new banner out with her, I haven't even tried. I'm too busy trying to grab a H!Sakura... I'm also scared she'll leave me with another Lyn or something.

Report

Leo, Lyndis (original), Ephraim...I've also never in my life rolled a Cherche or a Nino at any star level, but I DO have Bike and Hector, so...scale hands.
