I wonder when will Rhajat get added into FE Heroes. Once I do get that game, I'll definitely be trying to get Tharja and Rhajat, along with F!Corrin and M!Robin.
Speaking of freenium games by Nintendo. Pokemon Shuffle had an update, more Pokemon Winking, a Pikachu in Love too. The Pikachu and Winking Wigglytuff are going to be the bane of me.
Having a mini-crisis on healers now though, since Maria doesn't exactly do what I thought she did I feel like I'd be better off switching to Clarine(3*) or Lissa(4*). Shame, because she's had my best levelups by far.
Lilina murders everything
Camilla's RNG cursed, but her skills/Brave Axe+ are enough to carry her a lot of the time still, and her res is high at least so she's a good mage killer
Corrin's pretty tanky
Maria's RNG blessed
I like how I've summoned several 5* units while re-rolling -- I think I got 5* Lyn 3 times in a row while re-rolling -- but I'm like nah, I just want trash tsundere Selena which I got today and was a 3*, but the other characters... Let's just say having basically 4* upgrades to Matthew (Saizou), Raigh (Henry), and Virion (Gordin) is not exactly useful, especially when Gordin's 4* default weapon, Brave Bow, kills his speed so bad that it's at 0. The other unit was a 5* Roy. So, no healers, no blue or green mages, no mounted units, and no "special" units like dancers or Manaketes. Had a re-roll where all the orbs were red and all of them were sword users. Thanks, game, I like being heavily crippled with pretty much the same units. Time to suffer again while digging for trash.

I only have 3 Green units, and only 1 is an Axe wielder, and that's Anna (who isn't great unless you want to invest in boosting her stars, which I'm not doing until later)
It's been painful, especially since I've also been given a ton of Red Sword wielders. Pretty sure my only Red Mage is Henry, and I don't even wanna use him. I do have Tiki though.
PTR is up, and it actually has super nice changes.
1) Heroes with "auto aim" features, like Widow's hook, Nana Boost, Mercy's beam, etc all have sensitivity options for the hero, meaning you can choose how specific you have to be with your crosshair for it to lock on to a certain target. This helps a lot with Mercy or NAna who accidentally latch on to/aim at the wrong target occasionally.
2) Mercy gets (what I assume is a 2 second or 3 second) invulnerability when she uses her Ultimate, which solves one of her problems of basically dying to Rez her team... Which then would die because they'd be down a healer. Mercy's only utility to the team is basically keeping HP-a-coming, so being alive for longer means she feels like less dead weight. She should be better, but she's still not Ana or anywhere near Ana's level of utility/usefulness.
3) D.Va's Matrix can now save people from point blank hook combos/icicle headshots/etc. Before it was impossible because all damage/projectiles must travel at least 1m before they can be deleted (I think 1m into the matrix or just 1m in general, whichever). So, yea, it got buffed to actually save people now. D.Va will be seeing more action due to the One Man Apocalypse. This should allow for better Ult eating too.
Bless Mama Jeff.
4) Biggest change list is for Bastion, who gets a rework similar to Symmetra. I hope they do this for all the low tier characters. TAKE NOTES SAKARAI SO YOU CAN FINALLY MAKE ZELDA FAIR BECAUSE RIGHT NOW SHE NEEDS A REWORK BECAUSE SHE IS SO BAN WORTHY LIKE OMG HOW CAN ANYONE HAVE FUN WITH ZELDA DESTROYING EVERYTHING OMGOMGOMG Changes include:
A) New resource meter for his healing, meaning it is is no longer infinite. It charges when he is not healing. He can now move while healing and also heal while being attacked now.
B) His tank mode loses armor because...
C) His new passive makes sure he takes 35% less damage during Tank Config and Sentry Config.
D) His Sentry Config gun deals the same DPS, but has 300 ammo instead of 200. It also cannot headshot, while the spread is 50% wider and instant. So it is a shield breaker or tank killer. It still pumps out the highest DPS which is 450DPS, so ignore the crybabies pls. It's almost as good as the surprising amount of damage Mercy's pistol can deal. But Mercy is still the only character that can deal 100 Decents Per Second while dealing 100 Damage Per Second, so pls nerf that Blizzard.
E) His Recon Config gun has 50% less spread and he has 25 ammo instead of 20. His damage was never bad, it was just the spread made it hard to aim. He's basically a SLIGHTLY more accurate Soldier now, albeit, with less DPS and no movement skills. Bye bye Pharah.
I expect his new passive to be tweaked, perhaps to 25% less damage. Maybe he'll lose his armor he normally has? IDK.
Probably the same reason why Gunther and Raven are axe users in this game. I know Gunther can use other weapons, but I don't think he's associated with axes. Checked the wiki and official art and in-game stats in Fates suggests he favors lances. Raven on the other hand I know is a sword user in The Blazing Sword. Raven starts out as a mercenary which do not have access to axes until they promote into heroes. That and official art -- both Blazing Sword and Heroes -- has him with a sword, but apparently they decided he should be an axe user in Heroes. There are some other questionable weapon choices like I find it weird how the speedy, if glass cannon-y units like Hana and Selena have Armorslayer. Kind of figured they would give them other weapons emphasizing that they should not go up against armored knights. I don't remember, but I don't think Lyn has access to the Mani Katti even as a 4* weapon; I think she just has a + weapon. Killing Edge?
Speaking of axe users, Bartre is voiced by Kyle Herbert. If only they gave him a rugged beard to match his mustache and a shirtless critical HP portrait, he could have referenced Ryu's hot Ryu look, but with Zangief's personality. Still, would use him regardless -- dude sounds like such a meathead that it's dorky and funny --, but I have other axe users taking priority like Cherche, Hector, and I bet if they included him as part the eventual Tellius update, Greil. Basilio and Walhart as axe units would be cool too. Also, not a fan of Yuri Lowenthal voicing Eliwood; Eliwood sounds younger than Roy, his teenage son. Does not help that Ray Chase can do a really deep voice if Noctis's early, Episode Duscae voice is any indication.
Anyway, re-rolling adventures. I feel like this game is trolling me. I was pondering that I've seen Minerva so many times for the prologue and never was able to summon her before. Last summon and the only red orb of this roll: 5* Minerva. Oh, and a 3* Matthew like my first game and a 4* Virion. Thanks for reminding me how much time I wasted in trying to level up 2* Virion by giving me the taste of power aka Jeorge and progressively increasing rarity Virion.
On another note: just noticed that Anna wears mittens. Well, partial mittens since her index fingers are separated.
Now I'm a bit worried and curious what Eirika and Ike's weapon progression will be. Rapiers aren't in the game, right? If they aren't, then it would be weird for Eirika to be the only one with a rapier. Most of the lords should have a rapier for a 4* weapon since it's a trend for them to just start out with it even if they technically have their signature weapon like Chrom and Falchion. As for Ike, he probably won't have Ettard as his third and 4* weapon despite it being his personal sword which is in the opposite situation as Lyn's Mani Katti. Ike's associated with Ragnell even though he doesn't start out with it in either of the Tellius games and while not relevant even for plot reasons unlike Mani Katti, Ike has a personal sword in Radiant Dawn. Lyn on the other hand is almost always shown with a katana that is definitely Mani Katti while Sol Katti, a weird saber-katana hybrid, only shows up at the end of Blazing Sword. Now that I think of it, does Hector have his personal axe, Wolf Beil? Dude doesn't use Armads until the end of the game and it's the reason why he's dead.
I figure that the developers did not want to put in very specific weapons which is understandable, but in the case of Mani Katti, you could just get away with recoloring Killing Edge. Pretty sure you could do that with Wolf Beil and even Ettard despite it being a very pointy, fat-looking sword.
Also, Cherche wielding a hammer is a bit weird for me when official art for Awakening shows her with an axe.
Edit: Apparently Catria and Setsuna share a voice actress. Catria is so cute and she kind of sounds like Aqua from Kingdom Hearts. Meanwhile, Setsuna being stoned out of her mind as usual. HP+ is a weird skill for her to have since she's likely not going to tank much and she's probably going to die if she's ever in the middle of the battlefield. First time seeing an Assassin's Bow and I think Saizou's the first person I've seen with a Smoke Dagger. Jeorge had a Silver Bow that goes into a special bow, Gordin had Brave Bow(+), I think Niles has something -- I don't remember --, and Virion appropriately has a Silver Bow(+).
The entire gacha aspect feels annoying and maybe not so random. I get 5* Robin, but then 3 other summons that make me gag. Like f'real-real gagging. It happened 6 times. I just want Corrin or Robin, for the most part. Hector is a damn myth, so that"s not happening.
Other acceptables would be:
Arthur
Fredrick
Leo
Ryoma
Takumi
Sakura
Clarine
Azura
Olivia
Chrom
Lucina
Felicia
Raven
Elise
Saizo
Serra
Donnel
Kagero
Camilla
Makes me literally gag:
Virion
Matthew
NINO DAMMIT GTFO
Selena
Laslow
Getting all 3* trash in the same pull
I know Gunther can use other weapons, but I don't think he's associated with axes. Checked the wiki and official art and in-game stats in Fates suggests he favors lances.
Another quirk about Gunter that I've noticed, his normal hit artwork and skill activation artwork are completely different instead of the usual "skill acivation has a bunch of pretty sparkly light ribbons+some different facial expressions."
Kinda wondering if there are any other characters like this and if not, why is this old guy so special?
As far as the whole weapon thing is concerned, I think most characters just start with iron/steel/silver/special effect. Characters with legendary weapons get them as their "special" one. Eirika probably won't get her hands on a regular rapier, but I'm willing to bet she'll be able to get Sieglinde as her most powerful weapon.
I imagine the reason they do this is to reduce the amount of weapon sprites, stats, and special effects they have to create, as well as creating some consistency. Eirika using a Rapier would make sense, but upgrading to Sieglinde would mean losing out on the bonus damage. They probably don't want powerful effects like bonus damage on the more basic versions of weapons either.

Randomness is a funny thing. When something is truly random, all sorts of coincidences are bound to happen - like getting the same character over and over and over again or never getting the characters you really want.
That said, I think the more popular characters are supposed to be rarer - but more likely the more times you roll consecutively.

Well, what I mean is I got 5* Robin a few times. Each time I had at least 2 of the units that were on the gag list. One time I even had DOUBLE Nino, Laslow, and Robin, and was like "This must be bad luck. Nope. Probably bad stat Robin. Byyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
Out of all the units this game has, it feels like it should be too unlikely for that kind of sh*tnanigans to happen. But, uh, it happened alright...
ALSO WHERE IS HECTOR WTF
Barst and Hawkeye are manly axers, but my main Axe Husbando is Hector... Until they add Largo, ofc.
About to check on VGBC's Smash 4 tournament from yesterday and I'm currently reading through one of my university books, since it asks me to do that this week. Which I'm getting to, so I can then eventually get to the assignment for the week.
So gorls, I got a question. I just got a very odd roll, and I'm not sure if I should stay with it.
Clarine 4 Star
Peri 5 Star
Cecilia 4 Star
Robin 3 Star (bleh, but it's Robin so...)
I feel like I have gotten at least 3 useful units out of this, perhaps 4 entirely. Should I stick with this or just keep rerolling? All I'm doing is playing Tales of Berseria and rerolling as the macro does the main parts. So it's not like there's an issue, but then again, rerolling for multiple days is pretty lame tbh.

Valentines Day event in Poké Go! I always love these things, though it's a shame I need an event to bring me back around
Anyways, details:
- Lasts from 7 PM EST today until 7 PM EST on February 15th
- All candy gained will be doubled
- Chansey, Clefable, and other Pink Pokémon will be more common in the wild
- Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Smoochum will be more likely to hatch from eggs collected during the event
- Lure Modules last for 6 hours
So these Pokémon will be more common in the wild: (Maybe)(Niantic pls)
And will be more common in eggs!
This will be a great chance for me and my mom to go Poké Hunting, which is always fun

Getting all 3* trash in the same pull
I've yet to see Cordelia in any of my re-rolls and she's not anything special compared to units like Camilla, Corrin, Lyn, and Roy. I've gotten 3 Camilla and I think at this point 7-10 5* Lyn in all my re-rolls. Also, Subaki aka nasally Mandelia showed up a lot to the point of repeating. I haven't had Caeda show up, but Catria, Est, and Palla showed up before Cordy. Ditto on never seeing Hector and I don't think I've ever seen Frederick either. Had Abel, Cain, Gunther, Sully, and Stahl all show up before him. Also, Raven and Tharja MIA.
Anyway, Gaius is not voiced by Gideon Emery in this game; Ray Chase does an all right impression, but it's not Emery. And his skills are kind of meh, so I'd be okay with having him for the sake of having him. Felicia looks more promising to me.
Oh, and can I have the trash you're getting. It would be real nice to have a red, twin-tailed tsundere right about now.
Since KonoSuba 2 doesn't air till 15 minutes, I'm gonna be attempting to make a Water Level Puzzle in Mario Maker (SMB1 theme).
So far, already came up with an idea. Having to knock a POW Block into a gap to have a Koopa go across to activate a Note Block which contains a shell to hit a ? Block which has a P-Switch. That releases a Bob-Omb into a flamethrower which breaks a block to open a door. I'll need to think up of more puzzles in this style.
will be more common in eggs!
