Gonna try this out. Any tips on rerolling? Who to target, which banner to roll on, is there a multi summon bonus I should get some more orbs for?

Not sure which free orbs are available right now, but definitely roll on the Hero Fest banner (Hector/Ryoma/Takumi/Azura) and aim for a Hector (from green orbs). A full summon will cost you 20 orbs, the most green orbs you can get in one session is four which would cost 17 orbs. If the game doesn't give you 17 after the freebies + login bonuses you can burn through a couple story mode chapters to get enough.
Edit: Once you're happy with a roll, make sure to create/link your account with a My Nintendo account thing so you don't lose everything if you wipe/lose/whatever your phone.
I got lucky in my first 100 orbs and got a Hector, 3 Takumi, Ike and a Ryoma. My next 230 were spent trying to get Azura. No luckAll the orbs were saved from when the game launched, lol. Going for a few more orbs so I can pull a little more before hero fest banner ends.
I've been trying to snag a second Hector just to have Distant Counter to feed to someone (probably Zephiel), but no luck. I blew most of my orbs trying to get Titania after I got Ike though so I only have myself to blame. After the Hero Fest banner ends I'm probably just going to start stockpiling orbs again until either The Black Knight or those alternate Lyn/Ike heroes get released in the summer. Or if they give us Seth.
I got my 2nd Hector in the Ike banner, was trying for Ike but no red circles opened up so figured id try for Soren or Titania, but nope got my 2nd Hector... after I spent 70 orbs trying to get my first in the Hero fest one.
I think...of all the skills out there, Wings of Mercy has been the only one that screws with me the most in Arena. Fuuuuck units with that skill.
It trolls me pretty often because I never think to look for it on units other than Hector. I got completely destroyed by a Takumi that had it once. Wings of Mercy dancers are also douches.
I also gave my Olivia Xander's sword to be a bigger dick. Also, got a 2nd Takumi with better stats, should I merge it with my 1st one with a bunch of skills (only vantage3 was the big one) or is there someone who can greatly benefit from close counter? It seems the A slot is usually set for Fury/Life or Death/Death/Darting Blow.
Dammit, guess I mistook the wording, still needed feathers for Xander. Oh well, she checks Hector pretty well and would've like her to be bait for green mages.
I'm half-tempted to promote Subaki to 5* just to give either Xander or Ike Quick Riposte 3. But I only have 20k feathers and I still haven't finished upgrading Sharena and I keep hoping they'll eventually give us a unit that can learn QR3 as a 4*. Kinda bummed Xander got Armored Blow instead of Quick Riposte honestly, but I guess if he came with QR he would have been obviously and significantly better than Eldigan.
I feel like Quick Riposte 2 is one of the skills that's okay to leave at level 2 since the difference between 70% and 80% hp isn't as critical as Vantage or wings or mercy since you'll always get 1 activation if attacked at full hp.
You guys have put way more thought into this game than me. I just tend to use Units I think I are cool and strong. I want to set up some god tier tanks but I keep getting characters with shit skills for passing on.
So Far, I've just been using a Olivia, Rienhart, Rebbeca/Klein, and Edigan. With proper using them the only special Unit challenge I failed was a 4 Star Ursula. Everyone else has been super easy to get.
I am currently leveling a 5 star Jaffar and Azura for more change ups for my main team.
Azura can swap with Olivia for a different weapon type, and Jaffar for my archers.
Also, my other plan is to level all my 3stars to 4 stars and get everyone to 40.
Rolled my last five stones today. Herofest was absolutely miserable for me. Above these are a Chester and two Ninos. 105 orbs and I got absolutely no five stars.
That's tremendously terrible luck. My condolences.
Don't bother. You'll be swimming in 4 stars soon enough. Save your feathers unless it's a 3 star character rates highly like Effie.
The grand hero battles aren't too though. They are made so you can clear them with the free units you can get in the game. I cleared lunatic Xander with Zeph, Ursula, Olivia and fucking Wrys. Zeph needed an hp boost but everyone plain and Wrys was level 24.
The fact that the five star summoning boost bonus does not transfer over to other banners makes me ultra salty.

Decided to do a pull on the Hero Fest banner to raise my salt levels higher-> Pulled Hector on the 1 Green WOOOOOO.
I wanna make a "Tank Emblem" with Hector, Blue Hector(Effie), and Zephiel + ???.
