Man, I feel like an idiot.
Here I was planning on merging my neutral Loki with my +Atk -Spd Loki...
and I ended up merging them the other way around! Neutral Loki remained, while the +Atk _Spd was merged.
What I was thinking! Great, Loki's attack isn't as high as I wanted it to be. Had to consequently spend some of my first several Dragonflowers just boost her Attack by 1 to make up for it.
Luckily, all of the other merges I was planning went well. Turns out that if you already merged a unit prior to the update, they automatically get the removed bane too! That's pretty nice!
In other news, my free summon today was my first Grima!
Too bad he had a really bad nature though: +Spd -Atk. Man, second new armor I pulled in a row with an awful nature...
At least I have Vengeful Fighter fodder though.
