Ahhhhh, on this momentous day, I have finally +10'd Soren. Ahhhhhh. It's been a project since April 26, 2017 when Soren was released in Fire Emblem Heroes. So it took 9 months (and 1 day). I managed to get one Soren from his first banner after I don't know how many orbs. Pretty much all I had saved up back then (I've never managed to reach that number of orbs again). But he did come home. Afterwards, I summoned on the Tempest Trial Moment of Fate banner when it came around. Don't remember how many Sorens I got from that. 2, I think? Or maybe 3. At least one was a four star, but that mattered little. All my feathers for Soren! I figured there was going to be a Path of Radiance Tempest Trial, so I saved orbs for that. But when Soren randomly showed up for the Short Haired Girls vs Long Haired Guys Voting Gauntlet, I was totally unprepared for that banner, haha! (But I was so excited for him to be included in a Gauntlet) I was unfortunately unable to dedicate my orbs to that banner, as I was still trying to get Trick Or Treat Henry from the Halloween banner (Somehow I managed to get Trick or Treat Nowi (on the free smmon), Trick or Treat Sakura, Trick or Treat Jakob, another Trick or Treat Nowi, and the last three were all from summoning when no green stone showed up ahhhhh and still no Henry! I wasn't even trying to summon Sakura or Jakob. And here I thought colorless was supposed to be hell).
Anyway, I've been trying to summon Myrrh from this latest banner, a Sacred Stones ones, since she has Hone Dragons. Well, after several pulls with only one green stone each time, no Myrrh in sight, but I got my final two Sorens! So here he is now, all maxed out. :D (Though I do need to max out his hero merit again). He's +atk -def, with summoner support. My first Soren was +atk, -spd. I kind of miss him a little. I got several +spd, -def Sorens along the way too, but I ultimately decided to stick with +atk, partially because Ike is also +atk. And that sweet 61 atk is just amazing. (Pft, who cares about doubles! He used to be -spd and did just fine!) I hope Soren gets some kind of unique weapon in the future! He won't mind graduating from a blade tome with that attack. I'm also considering giving him a wolf or owl tome or something, just so I can refine it and make Soren ~shine~.
Thank you Soren, for being 4*-5* rarity. It made +10'ing you possible even as an F2P player. :D

Now, I suppose I have feathers for any other random units. For arena purposes, my next focus will probably be Nowi. From my main team, Nowi is at +6. Four more to go! She ended up on my main team given that she was the first blue 5 star unit I got, and she decided to show up twice even, both off focus. (Before that, I was using a 4* F!Corrin). I pulled specifically for more of her for the first time on the Gift of Peace Tempest Trial banner and got 2 more merges. For a moment, I thought I'd end up +10'ing her first before Soren, considering she's a lot more likely to show up on more banners. As for the others, Olivia is already 4*+10, though I wonder if I should work on a 5*+ Olivia. I do have another 9 copies of her, pfft, and her 4 star self can't get any more points in arena as she is. It'll just take a ton of feathers that I don't have. Last is Ike, who's at +1. I don't think it's possible to +10 him without spending money since he's locked at 5*. :') Sorry Soren... I did manage to get him to +1! Ike is mostly just there to reposition Soren and be Soren's buffbot. :'D I mean, he's not the best buff bot but Soren wouldn't want anyone else.
For my other teams, I started working on Fae (she's at +1 now, with 7 more available for merging. I'm going to pause for now though, and wait to see what the anniversary will bring to the game play. Besides, I'm really hoping for a boy dragon down the line. Where's my Kurthnaga and Nils? XD). I'd like to 5 star Lyon (because Lyon! and he even shares an artist with Soren), and I might 5 star Ursula eventually considering she's an important teammate on my first cavalry team. I randomly 5 starred Lucius after the healer upgrade when I couldn't pull someone else, because Lucius!! He was one of my first mages in my very first Fire Emblem game. How can I not build him? He isn't used on any team though, but he's pretty fun to use with Pain+ and double Savage Blow. Maybe I'll build Raven after his weapon upgrade, and they can be on a team together. :3 Yeah, still lots of units to build.
I have like, no orbs for the anniversary, pffft.
