Who can relate?

Not gonna spend anything on the Christmas Banner (hopefully).
So I've decided that I don't want to spend all that much on this game anymore... because it has become a regular thing for me to spend money on this game.
Therefore I've decided that from now on I'll only spend orbs on getting Sacred Stones characters (or characters that have exclusive skills to inherit to my FE8 chars) because it's still my favourite FE.
I hope this'll keep my urge to empty my wallet at bay xD
I already got every FE8 character currently in the game, but I foddered off Tana since I wasn't all that interested in her and she was -Atk+HP anyways (Good for Valter who inherited Guidance). Also I merged all of them up as much as I could and now own a +3 Eirika, +2 Valter and +1 Joshua - unfortunately no luck getting another Ephraim/ Eirika/ Amelia(/ Tana) in their respective Banners :(

I do like my Armored Team the most, but getting Tharja just for the skills and maybe to replace my Zephiel? Not really into it if it means spending another 50 bucks to do so.

Who can relate to this? :-)
I know... I am a Karenfag now (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=karenfag - for reference).

EDIT: Just got another Ephraim! He's +Def -Res which is insane! Gonna level him up and merge my +ATK -Def Ephraim into him :-)

Honestly, good for you. This game is basically a p2waifu/husbando so only spending money on units that you actually care about makes total sense.

Especially with IS now having 81 (45%) of all characters being from Awakening/Fates and in your case having only 9 (5%) characters from The Sacred Stones.

I play most of my games with characters I actually care about and only use other ones when challenges/quests require them.

Yeah, sometimes I just want more Team slots to fit more FE8 character in just because I like the flavour :D
I think 9 FE8 characters are fair enough right now, seeing that Thracia has 0 and Genealogy had like 1 for a very long time.
Also there are few characters I would want to see apart from Ephraim, Eirika, Innes, Amelia and Joshua (and Valter I guess, wasn't expecting him at all, but I was pretty happy wiht his release) because I don't want them to get Seth'd or even worse be absolute powercreeped versions that everyone will run. Just imagine a Stout Tomahawk Ross with Villager Stats+ and some OP skill like Fierce Breath or something. Not really into that (Ross is cool tho).

As a sidenote: I've got an Ayra on her initial Banner and apart from leveling her up to 40 and farming some SP to finish her kit I literally NEVER used her like at all. Eirika and Arvis are just much more fun imo.

Actually, Thracia has 2, Reinhardt and Olwen
Genealogy now has 10 units (used to have 4 with Seliph, Julia, Eldigan and Lachesis), which is still only about half of what it should have, would the characters be spread evenly.
The only game that has 9% (11 different character games) units is Gaiden/Shadows of Valentia

To be honest, this banner really disappointed me. Sure, they all look cool, but the fact that they are all armored basically ruins it for me. I hate armor outside of actual Armor Emblem but I've already built an armor emblem team that I can't see myself changing at all. Like, they could have at least left one infantry, but no, all armored. And it's not like Halloween where they were brand new concepts, we already have really cool armors now and I'm sure most people have already constructed a good team with them. The skills are nice, the weapons are already really nice, their stats will probably also be nice, but I cannot see myself summoning on this banner, just for the simple fact that they are all Armored.

Totally relateable.
I'm also pretty happy with my Armored Team as is. The only unit I could probably exchange is probably Zephiel since his role as a defensive Monster has become quite irrelevant with the release of Weapon Refinery (especially with Berkuts Lance+ and Guard Bow+) since now practically every Armored unit can be a magic tank, too.
Also I don't have any Armored Mages, that's why I would go for Tharja if I rolled on the banner (which I probably won't).

The only unit I could see myself replacing is Effie because everyone else on my team either has too much investment or a very specific role, while Effie's is just "Player phase Nuke" which Robin could probably achieve depending on his stats. But I would much rather continue summoning for Tana right now, so I'm actually happy this banner is somewhat skippable.

Well, if you have a spare Hector (I know..) and Berkut's Lance, she will be a defensive monster!
I've run the DB + Brave Lance set since Inheritance became available and was pretty happy with it, but now that I switched to the DC + Berkut's Lance build I don't want to ever go back. She's just SO Strong. She'll be able to take literally every unit on in defense, it's crazy!

Also I hope you'll get Tana :-)

I was hoping I'd be able to do the same as I got a shock for the first time seeing how much it's spend on it in only a few weeks trying to get a good Rhajat (one of my favorite Fates characters) which I finally did, +Att -HP thankfully. The goods news for me is I don't really care for their designs, even my beloved Tharja, so I'm not too fussed if I get any of them aside from missing out on time limited Super Quick Riposte and the other OP skills. We'll see whether I manage to stick to this.

Edit: Yeah, that didn't last long.
