For the first time in almost 2 years my orb count is in the double digits and it was completely worth it.
My fantastic luck this year hasn't ended just yet, spent the roughly 1250 orbs I had left and got 7 Leif, 8 Shinon, and 9 Corrin (average in that orb count is about 6 of each). The only off-color 5* pulls I got were one each of Eliwood, Hel, and Triandra. Suddenly I have high merged legends for every week now and a +10 Shinon to go with it. Some serious irony that +8 Legendary Corrin of all characters is what I have now, and she scores the same as my +10 Legendary Ike as is. I guess suddenly I'm now equipped to handle Fates Limited Hero Battles with this one single unit.
If we get enough orbs before this banner ends I'll see if I can manage another Leif merge, but I'd be fine with another copy of any of the 3 at this point, Shinon's fodder is so wild I'm totally fine with having 4 extras. This also means that next month's legend will definitely be someone I like but at this point I can't say I'll regret it. At this point I can just save to finish +10ing these two and be very well set for all Coliseum modes. I guess after this I just devote my attention to saving for favorites and getting a few offense Mythic merges here and there, works out conveniently since Leif's return is with Mila and there's also Altina on that banner.
At this point I guess that means I should go all-in to +10 the entire Greil Mercenaries, I've +10ed all the non-seasonal ones in the game now except for Gatrie and Mist. Gatrie is +3 but I definitely won't go for him on a legendary banner like I did with Shinon so he'll have to wait for a random skill banner. Mist is +1 and likely won't get a weekly revival again for another half a year but I can probably afford to do it for real this time. Definitely...
