This is eight months old but I really needed this video. I made a new account about a month ago after being away for 4+ years and being put off by the power creep in Summoner Duels, which is my favorite mode (in concept). I have a much more modern barracks but I still feel tempted to keep up with the meta. Hearing you say that I don't need to meta chase has sort of cleared my head. I definitely have favorite characters that I just want to make work (like Brave Marth) instead of chasing the meta. Still tough to not just say screw it and get a new meta unit though. Getting railed by Brave Seliphs, Brave Chroms, and L!Nannas can be super demoralizing.

This is why I'm usually 1,000 orbs, I focus only AR which only requires one mythic copy and no merges. Plus getting one copy of my first favorite character from FE games, Micaiah. It's so easy to save when you just get a goal and min-max.

Likewise! Yeah having a goal and something to drive you really does make saving easier!

Really great video DTM, I agreed with a lot of your points. Saving for a specific goal is the best take away for anyone to hear. I myself am currently saving a ton of orbs for any Azura, Sakura, or Elise alts. What helps is it's on a device that's sharing my account so I can still do my video's while still saving as many orbs as I can. That may contradict some of what you said, but it's how I'm playing right now and that's a-okay with me. 💙

When I heard you ask "what are your goals?", I thought that I really don't have any goals in FEH, but then I remembered: 100% complete Hero Encyclopedia. I am in some ways a hoarder, and this is especially true in any kind of game: a lot of times in TCGs, I save cards for something i am looking for, only to have the price on the card drop significantly due to a reprint; gacha games are the same - I don't really care much about the meta (always changing, so following that is a lot harder to do in general), don't care much about +10'ing units (too many resources needed for doing so with no real way make it easy for the first portion), and I don't really have any favorite units in general (closest thing is a "no character should go without an alt" mentality).

Despite being a high ranked VoH player myself, I find it a lot more fun hording orbs to +10 favorites than pulling for the latest meta units. I don't have an active merge project atm, yet I'm saving up for a 3 Hopes Marianne so I could +10 her and use her to reach top rank in AR and vanilla SD, just like how I did with all my Marianne alts.

My goal has always been to be able to ruin people's day in AR, so getting units that allow me to strengthen the weird niche comps I use (which occasionally includes skills, such as Atk/Spd Oath 4 freeing up my D!Dagr's seal slot for QP so she can have a pre-charged Deadeye) is always what I aim to do. And fortunately, it's very rare for skills or units that support my goals to be released, so unless I get hit with a bunch of consecutive banners where the stars align, saving works pretty well.
@reidskull50182 жыл бұрын
My problem is that there are a lot of units I like and want to summon/build. I've summoned almost nonstop since getting the game in May and my only regrets are 1.) Sparking Ymir instead of A!Celica because people on Reddit kept saying Ymir would be OP, and 2.) Having so many units I like that I don't use all of them. Now I'm running out of story orbs so I'll be forced to save anyway.

great video and a good reminder to myself to stay critical every time a new banner drops cause people like to hype stuff but in the end they are shiny new toys and don't actually need them unless my favourite is in there. I pull for favourite characters. I came to this conclusion recently, goals can change as you mentioned in this video. at first I wanted to get into competitive play and going for legendary and mythic merges, but seeing how volatile and a pain in the butt legendary banners are I gave up on that goal. I said "screw it, I'm done with those banners, focus on passion projects". I pulled only once for fodder for Julius (one of my favourites) and it was worth it! he's putting in a lot of work. it's so satisfying using favourites in competitive modes.

For the majority of the banners, I primarily use the free summons. Only when I needed hardy fighter in this hero fest, for L!Tiki, or for less than 50 orbs for duo chrom, did I summon as a dedicated madlad. Only the Real Demon King Formitis gets my orbs. I started playing this game from the Bridal banner which featured Lilina. So, in total I spent like 400 orbs till now.

My only goals in FEH are getting some waifus and units that help my few teams. Its hard with just those 2 goals because of how vague it is.

For me it helps to look at the banners and think of the following things: Does it add anything that I would enjoy, and in case of a legendary/mythic banner, do I mind getting any of the other heroes? Do I need any of them as fodder for one of the different Leif alts? Are there things happening in the future that I'd rather have? Is there a new Leif, Roy, Seliph, Mareeta, Sigurd alt coming that I'd love to have. My coming goal is +10 merging my L!Leif, since it's confirmed that he's gonna get a remix, he's my fav hero (he's the closest to my OC I can ever get in FEH) and shoot for him on the remix banner, since that features the spark for me, and there are only 2 heroes per colour, instead of 3.

It's much easier to save if your tastes don't align with those of IS. On the list of my about 50 favourite characters only 7 (Henry, Cordelia, Rinkah, Berkut, Nephenee, Minerva and Owain) have more than 1 version, the rest have just one or aren't in the game at all. Unless the odds are good and there's a character i'm even remotely interested in i just summon once and ignore the event. And at the end of the day i'm playing casually. I don't care about being competetive in AR or Arena. Seeing Arval i got from some banner go brrr is enough to make me happy. And to be fair fallen Rhea i got as random 5* summon made me pay even less attention seeing how she can solo most special maps.

My criteria: - should be sparkable - should contain a hero I'm building However, sparkables are varying in cost. Forging Bonds Banners is 135 obs for sparkable (because of free summoning tickets). The anniversary banner was 120 for sparkable (plus 4 free summons). Legendary, TT, and others are 155. Only doing the cheap sparkables is a way to save orbs as well. If the banner is not sparkable, dont summon. If the banner is only new heroes (usually seasonal), skip it. If a legendary banner doesn't contain a project-hero, I will skip.

My goals are to max merge all versions of Micaiah and max merge good versions of Edelgard. My competitive goals is to get top 1k in AR O but unfortunately I don't have the merges to do so. My other goal is to stay in top 1k in AA but I need more legendary hero merges. My other goal is to stay top 1k in SDS and SDR which I can do easily even before I got hardy fighter far save so I don't agree with your advice at least in my case. I don't aim for tier 21 arena or resonant battles but do think it is worthwhile to stay at least in tier 20. I also want one copy of each mythic to make things easy in AR O and AR D. When it comes to changing your goals, I think downsizing maximalist goals is better than adding new goals. For example, despite wanting to +10 all versions of Micaiah, I have given up on Bridal Micaiah because she's only at +1, I barely use her and she is hard to merge in a banner that reruns once a year and is not worthwhile to spend orbs on. I did try a lot to get merges on her spending many hundreds of orbs but I have failed in that endeavor. I will wait until she is put on the SHSR banner.
