Not going to lie, I expected to log into the game and see a Halloween banner. Ayra banner is such a trap.
Since when was 31 defence frail lol?
Edited lol. Had to add Ayra to my autocorrect :/

A fair and balanced unit. +DEF for the lolz.
The stat line makes me want to go Fury 3, but can't let a perfectly good swift Sparrow go to waste. If she had Fury, she'd have as much defense as Hector and more defense than most units in the game. "Frail" maiden.
31 defense isn't bad but she still be murdered by blue mages and swordbreaker red mages.
Heh, that's why I decided to play it fair and not break the game by pulling a -def one!

Yeah I'm even considering upgrading Arvis to 5* with already 3 5* red mages because he feels so unique

Having a weakness doesn't mean she's frail though. By that logic 90% of the units in the game are frail.

I got about the same result. At a focus rate of 0.03 with the current setup the probability that a red orb in a summon set is Ayra is about 0.0321031. If she were the sole red out of three in the banner, the chance that a red orb gets you Ayra is about 0.0331679. Not much of a difference in practical terms, it turns out.
The problem is pity breaking.
My Arvis is ready to roll.
You probably want to put screens into quotes as they show up as large.
And yeah speed ploy+fury is 100% the way i would build arvis.

Oh yeah, whoops.
He's a debuff machine and -ATK Deirdre just made me sad, so I offered her as a sacrifice.

I'm going to be promoting Arvis to 5* because he is the only 'speedy' red mage I have. The others are Sophia, Snacks And Lilian. I have a Tharja but she's -SPD,+RES.

I just did a quick calculation during a spare moment at work and it doesnt look like it significantly affects the probability of getting a pity breaker either. Ill post my work later but right now it looks like on the Ayra banner at 0.03 pity rate the chance of a red being a pity breaker is 0.06844866. If she were the sole red out of three focus units on the banner the chance of a red being a pity breaker would be 0.068547.
The small effect stems from the relative rarity of any orb being a five star. The pity rate itself affects things but I havent had the chance to include that in yet.
Aren't you forgetting Eldigan pity brraking?

Ok, my calculations were right but were for the wrong outcome we want here, I think. We really want the chance of getting a red thats a pity breaker that is not Ayra, right? Ill Thats more complicated. Ill have to check it later but I think I see what you mean.
felt the urge to pull so made a halfassed attempt at Ayra/Eldigan with 13 orbs, came out of it with my third Eldigan. I already have a +SPD -ATK Eldigan+1, this new one is +HP -RES. The -ATK certainly isn't great but he gets +4 to speed with that boon which has been pretty useful, so I dunno if I want to merge the others into this new guy. Dammit, I was expecting to get Laslows, not hard choices.
And yeah, I put Sigurd on my defense team...I was at 6 wins last I checked.

It took me way too long but I finally got around to taking down Infernal Arvis making for my second Infernal GHB completion after Berkut. The reward for completing Infernal GHB's is rarely worth the effort for me so I tend to skip them unless I really like the character though in this case I'd just ran out of meaningful things to do with my stamina rather than particularly liking Arvis.
It was a long and complicated process to discover what could get me through the near-endless waves of reinforcements but what it came down to was Hinoka, Sanaki and two dancers. Hinoka needed Desperation 3 and a Brave Lance+ to be able to defeat a string of blue enemies on around the third wave of reinforcements while one dancer had escape route and the other wings of mercy. I also had to orchestrate my movements so both dancers would get damaged but not killed when luring the cavalry out on the first turn, setting up the ability for both to warp around.
It was a strange strategy which took a lot of trial-and-error (around 2 stamina potions-worth) but I eventually found a way to position and dance my units just right to make it through, taking out every reinforcement in the process.
I know there's that easy strategy with Galeforce units to complete it in 1 turn but It was fun to figure it out with what I had and taking out all the enemies made it feel like more of an accomplishment. Hopefully our next GHB comes a bit sooner since they're the best content in the game by far.

Yeah, my Sigurd is hard at work with 4 wins already whereas I usually get one for a whole week if I'm lucky.
4 Eldigans compared to one 1 Ayra. Spent everything I had saved for Halloween.
The Ayra was -Atk,+Spd too. :/

at least you got a + in a good category, fix the ATK with the seal.
My life for more sacred coins. Wish I had the attention span to last through Arena Assault without losing interest halfway through.

I'm kindve just sitting on my coins at the moment. I have 128. If I pull a Roderick at any point in the near future I want to give a spd + 3 to my +ATK Cordelia and toss her Firesweep.
Since I havent been pulling on blue though, I might just give up and upgrade attack +
Yeah, AA seems like it could be a neat challenge, but it just ends up feeling like a chore. Lately, I just make sure I got one full run in and then just autobattle three each day for feathers. The overall prevalence of meta units (even on lower levels) is just...exhausting. Like trying to outmaneuver the standard horsey emblem can be an interesting puzzle some of the time with your best team, but it loses all semblance of enjoyment when you are on your 4th tier team and see it for the 4th time.
I'm just going for participation points.
Ouch my sympathies, I got up to three Eldigans myself before pulling an Ayra.
There's some amazing fan art of the Eldigan trolling this stuff. Some of the shit is incredibly memetastic that i won't post it here.
Not pulling Ayra out of principal. And a lack of orbs, but I assure I wouldn't do it even if I had a ton!
Why not?
Huss always delivers, pepe aside.

The RNG gods favored me today. Pulled 3 reds on the TT Focus banner, and got Ayra on the second. I am not sure why I pulled the third time, but I got a 4star Hinata, so it wasn't a complete waste!
My Ayra is +spd/-res too. Looking forward to playing the OP version of her in the trials!

I wanted to out of principal too, but the great art and the fact that it's a fantastic character helps out (the spd queen).
Though, now I'm starting to think I should have just gotten another Sigurd since he's BLyn and Rein levels of busted once you slap a Distant Defense +3 badge on him. Have one, but -Atk,+spd again. I guess him having absurd defenses is his major draw, so having lower than usual Atk shouldn't be bad.

I'll give it a pass since the artist is Japanese. It's like how Ko Takeuchi draws internet memes without knowing the context.
Sorry. Next time i'll try to edit it him out for your convenience, lord Busaiku

I'm not well versed in Internet memes: what's the problem with this one?
And if we don't get an Halloween banner or if the units on it are bad, I don't know what would be the best use of my orbs: trying to get Shigure, the last dancer I'm missing, or going for Sigurd? I already got an Ayra.

Pepe is a meme, the creator had spoken against the current use of it by asshole far right groups, and it can still be used to what it was originally was for. Frelsbadman.jpg which is what pepe is being used for here.
A similar example is the difference between manji symbol and the Nazi symbol.

Nazis co-opted the meme resulting in Pepe being seen as a hate symbol.
And I don't freak out when I see the manji symbol on current buddist statues.
Pepe isn't bad in and of itself. It's just that people took it and started using it with their own fucked up bullshit and philosophies. Can't fault the actual art when it wasn't created with ill intent in mind.
And that art PK posted clearly isn't being used to push the ill intent that Pepe has recently been identified with.

Oh, thanks, I totally missed that!
Yeah, on one hand we shouldn't let those groups appropriate stuff like that, but on the other it's not always easy to make the distinction...

Anyways, introducing Ayra on a banner with two old units unannounced was a scummy move.
