I think Lucina getting demoted would be like Chrom getting demoted.  I'll just get the 5☆ and she'll be demoted.  Or Sumia.  God I wish we had the ability to trade heroes.  It would save so many double ups...and wasted barracks space in some cases lol.

Yeah, trading would be nice. But I think IS wouldn't make as much of a profit, unfortunately.

However, it MIGHT work if some trading cost was put in place, a la Pokemon GO.

Was there any online gacha game where trading was a possibility?

Couldn’t they charge you Orbs when you trade Heroes, with the rarer the hero, the more orbs it costs?

Yeah, that or a lot of feathers. 20k for a 5 star, just like when upgrading 4 to 5.

Trading won't ever become a thing in gacha simply because people can create and run multiple accounts and trade their best units summoned from the multis to the main account.

Gating the trade behind feathers, orbs, a limited number of trades a day between players, etc. would still be a net win for the player by not needing to gamble their orbs against the gacha system. Devs don't want you getting the good shit so effortlessly. They want you to pay for the privilege to even try.  They don't want trading between lucky throwaways and main accounts.

The system could further be gated by forcing people to trade same rarity and merge count, but think how many 5* units you have sitting doing nothing, and how fast would trade them for that lucky Legendary Ephraim you pulled on a throwaway. Maybe you won't do it, but tens of thousands will abuse it.

this is true. 
I think... maybe - what would be nice (You mentioned the "privilege to try") is try to tweak it even just a bit more. 
If people were allowed to choose what orbs they want to summon from (and still have it like the 3% or whatever).... or CANCEL a summon, that would be nice. I don't see how that would 'abuse' the system, only due to the fact if you were (say in the swift sparrow banner) focused on the red and green - you could still spend as much money on orbs to get the units (or even copies). I only started paying (thanks PA banner), but I would adjust my entertainment budget to really focus on "in-game sniping". 

and if IS wanted to make that "cost" something, say that if you specialised your sniping, maybe it's not 5 4-4-4-3, maybe it's 6-5-5-4-4? a tiny bit more of a cost?

anyway - I hope everyone is prepared for tomorrow and everyone gets what they want
May Blue!Tiki, 2 Miciahs and 2 Karla's bless me tomorrow. 
(A hector would be great, but let's just focus on the biscuit here)

Out of nowhere I just had some of the best luck ever for me in this game. I saw the legendary Tiki banner trailer and didn't really care enough about it so I thought I'd go back into the Muspell banner to try and get Laevatein. My previous session on the banner was a really good +atk -hp Elincia and +res -hp Laegjarn in 75-ish orbs. I figured even if I just got more Leagjarns that would be alright too, since I like her and merges would be cool.

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures mid-pulling because I was too excited, but here's what I got from about 120 orbs spent. (no units were book'd yet, so this is everything is shown but a couple 3*s one row above)

I freaked OUT at this summoning session. The first 2 Laegjarns came in the same circle. When Ares pity broke me I thought that might spell doom for getting Laevatein, but I went on anyway. After the 3rd Laegjarn I had about 60 orbs left and thought I might stop there, but I said fuck it and kept going for Laevatein anyway. And the very next session I finally got her after the surprise Alm popped up too.

The Laegjarns are +spd -atk, +hp -def, +def -spd. Non really better than my +res -hp, but I can't complain. Ares is neutral and Alm is +res -hp, so they'll both become merge fodder. Laevatein is +spd -res which is incredible. I even got another Soleil merge out of this, finally. My birthday is on Saturday, so between this and the Animal Crossing announcement it feels like Nintendo is giving me some early birthday presents. This banner has been a blessing.

Nice hoard and an early birthday present, congrats!~

@Alkaid Wow awesome pulls! And this time you were not spoiled by bad natures and got even one perfect natured Laevatein. Congrats! 

I'm so relieved Laevatein didn't end up with something bad. I'm really happy going back to this banner instead of saving for legendary actually paid off.

Thanks! Heroes really came through with some birthday luck this year. (This makes up for not getting Brave Lucina last September)

Tiki time. I've got 180 orbs, so let's see who my first 5* is.

  1. 5* Spring!Catria: That was quick! Her IVs are meh, +Res/-HP, but I've had a string of bad-IV 5*s lately, so meh is fine by me.
  2. 3* Frederick: Eh.
  3. 5* Karla: Today is my lucky day, I suppose. Or maybe not. She's +Atk/-Spd, just like my Lucina. Figures a great boon would have literally the worst bane to go with it.
  4. 4* Subaki: Meh.
  5. 3* Matthew: More meh.

I was expecting that to be a lot worse than it ended up being. I'm going to stop now before I deplete my orb stockpile for units I either already have or don't really want.

101 orbs though I have at least a couple dozen to claim if needed. But I'm not necessarily going to go all-out so I'll just go with what I have for now, sniping blue and green.

4* L'Arachel
5* Legendary Hector +Spd -HP

Welp, that was fast. But unfortunately, so is Hector. Moving on.

4* L'Arachel
4* Sully

I've pulled two L'Arachels prior to this, so this is weird but not unwelcome.

4* Peri
3* Gunter

3* Cordelia

4* F Corrin
4* Shanna
5* Axe Ike +Def -Res
3* Palla
5* Bride Tharja +Res -Atk

Wow, really glad I opened those reds, even at 8.5%. Ike is nice fodder, identical nature to my current one so not a waste. Unfortunately Tharja is barely an improvement on my Def/Atk one.

3* Camilla

3* Jagen
4* Gunter

4* Gwendolyn
4* Donnel

4* Cecilia
4* Soren
5* Spring Sharena +Def -Spd
4* Clarine
3* Wrys

Alright I'm done I think. I might be back next month given the other banners around currently are all pretty mediocre, but not betting on it. Some useful stuff and can't complain about four 5-stars for 90 orbs, but actual usability isn't so hot. I'll use Hector regardless but the two mages aren't even bench material which is a little sad.

As for the rest, future merges for Cordelia and Palla but they're both still +0 at the moment. Soren will go to 4*+10 but I'm not sure about replacing his current base of Atk/Def with the new one of Spd/Res, hmm.

We'll all need Naga's help with this legendary hero.

2 Colourless, 1 each Red, Blue, Green

4* M!Robin (Dash my hopes why don't you. +Res/-HP), 4* Tharja (Meh at this point. +Res/-Def)

2 each Blue, Colourless, 1 Green

3* Peri (Man, you hope you never see the psycho again... +HP/-Spd), 4* Est (Utterly worthless. +HP/-Res), 4* Nino (Barst would have been worth it. +Spd/-Atk)

8.5%

3 Red, 2 Green

4* Morgan (Well that could be worse. Neutral), 3* Selena (Good fodder. +HP/-Spd), 3* Eliwood (Ward cav, nice. +Spd/-Res)

Could have been better.

100 orbs total. Got +spd/-res Spring Sharena, +res/-atk Maribelle and finally Tiki neutral!!! She is who I wanted most so very happy! I want Hector too, but I have the other two greens so odds are disappointment.  Reds is still good value but then I'd rather pull reds on muspell banner double focus.

I'm so pissed. >.> I got up to 4.75% on the Muspell banner to get pitybroken on a circle with no greens and only one red. And of course it was a stupid Ryoma. This is my THIRD Ryoma. He's useless as far as fodder, and I already don't use the one I already have. His only redeeming quality is Matt Mercer, and I don't even play with sound. To make matters worse, he's +SPD -DEF. I'm sure the focus reds would have liked those IVs.

I decided to pull the blues in the circle at least and got a 5 star L'Arachel as well. Kinda' makes me regret promoting my L'Arachel all those months ago... I think that one was +ATK -HP whereas this one is +ATK -DEF. At the very least, she has RES Tactic so that could be useful maybe. 

Gah. I'm still fuming.

I got a Spring Catria (+SPD/-def) with my free summon. I've never got her before, so that's cool.

Cool, nice IV at the cost of 0 orb!! Moment like this happened to me once too. Mine was Spring Kagerou (+Atk, -Hp).

@Zeo @mcsilas @mampfoid @Rezzy

When I need some skill fodder, game always send them with perfect IV to me and this time is not exception (If you guys remember last time, I need Swift Sparrow and Spd Tactics, got both at perfect IV...)

Spoiler

 

Lector is +Atk/-Spd,  fine I'll keep him but next copy of him will die for sure !!

Karla is neutral, maybe I can fodder Wrath to Vector this time ^^

15 orbs spent so far on the Legendary Heroes banner: rewarded with a double +Res Hector summon. More than pleased by the results.

Spent a grand total of about 90 orbs on the Swift Sparrow banner - got quite a haul:
+Atk/-Spd Flier Nino (from the first session)
2x +Res/-Atk Katarina
+HP/-Atk off-focus flier Olivia
+Atk/-HP mage Eirika (YES!)
