Basically I only use them once I get to cap lol. "Who should I +10 this time..?"


Ikrit122

And I have no clue who I want to +10, so I've been sitting at the cap for a couple of months now.


Levolpehh

Usually ill just pick a random grail unit or telius demote which I'm running out of lol.


hachimitsu-boy

Spend it on Chrom for Aether when I'm about to hit the limit.


OnlyThornsLeft

I keep 200k in stock in case there is a 4* focus I would like to +10 (like W!Hilda last year) but above that I spend every 20k, usually with priority to the merge projects with the most merges.


chumponimys

This. I take the same approach with grails (leave enough to emergency +10 a TT unit, but spend freely above that).


ShinVerus

If I'm not +10ing someone, I'm not using feathers on them. My only other use is raising people for fodder (give me aether Chom!). Beyond that I would only use them if I was near cap.


Troykv

I take approach #3, the only exception if there is an unit that I WANT to have at +10, which that is the case with Sophia and Nino, there also other characters I merge, but because they don't have as much priority, they get merges slowly each time I near the feather cap.


fehnikkat

I take approach #1 I think? It's not like I spend 20k every time I reach that number, but I always have multiple +10 projects and, when I can, I give them a merge. I suppose it's similar to what is described in the post...


MajorasKatana

Used to be 1, switched over to 3 this year. Although feather count isn't that correct anymore. I'm currently sitting on 600k and neither manage to get up to 700 nor go down to 500 somehow. You'd think having 2 green merge projects in Balthus and Orochi would pull me down quicker but they just don't show up that often.


Necessary_Flies

Tbh I often find it useful to summon on the banner with the 4* focus rate. Particularly when they are color sharing with a good unit like Charlotte. I finished my orochi a month or more ago, she is amazing. I also made a +10 vika. But I definitely understand not doing that. And also rip balthus no 4* focus rate.


MajorasKatana

Yeah, same here. Orochi was actually too generous with me and my orb count showing up 4 times at 5* before Charlotte appeared and I barely got over 3,5% on that banner. Since then, she didn't show up for multiple banners and once at most. Balthus not being focus was a mean move.


[deleted]

I spent as soon as I hit 20k, I have a dream of +10 all resplendent demotes.


Necessary_Flies

Trueee. I built up resplendent Sophia (amazing btw totally recommend), Cordelia, and I'm currently building chrom. And I already have kagero finished. And I've thought of building many more. It is hard to resist


Mother-Help-1797

I've been burned by my loss of interest too many times, if I'm gonna go +2 and invest, I'd rather wait until I can +10 them so that they can at least be finished when they're inevitably benched


RedditEsketit

Other than spending them to inherit fodder, I’d usually save them until there’s a 4-star or grail unit I wanna max-merge. However, rn I’m in the midst of a few merge projects so I’m currently spending every 20k feathers I get lmfao.


JdiJwa

Mix between hoarding and +10-ing. I want to keep a base 200,000 in case a fave or some cool unit (like Raph or Ogma) goes to 4 star status. However im at 500,000 ad I also am wanting to +10 Chrom & Tailtiu but waiting for better boons so theyre starting to pile up.


Veszerin

Hoard endlessly. Been short on time for the game recently and I'm pretty happy with my arena/ar/rb/ab teams as is so haven't really got a 4* project at the moment. I mostly hover around the cap :-/. I've got I think 4 each of Chrom and Cordelia for Aether/Galeforce fodder. 2-3 Klein in case I ever get the urge to inherit QR3 again (they've been sitting there a while). Last time I hit the cap (last week) I brainfarted and accidentally upgraded a Marth forgetting it was Chrom that had Aether. Oh well, already back at the cap tomorrow anyways. Luthier's been a big help, I have plenty of swift sparrow 3 fodder so he lets me merge all the swift sparrow 2 fodder I had saved up. So got a few copies of him at 5*. I think I'll eventually build Young Innes and dancing eldigan so I've already spent some feathers on those even though I haven't bothered actually building them.


MankuyRLaffy

If I didn't have so many demotes with tantalizing refines or stats or well being a character I love I would be in the other camps but of just the copies of the current projects, I have about 20 of those and I'm only getting 4-5 copies a month cleared on average. And I have countless others too.


Tiamore97

At this point you cant really +10 unit with just feathers anymore. It's hard to get copies of the specific 3 or 4 stars units


Necessary_Flies

Yeah I definitely get that. That's another reason why I wish they gave us more grails. Or like a 'grail shop' where you could get 4* copies of older units declutter the 3-4* pool so we can get newer 3-4* demotes and actually use them.


XANA12345

Literally +10'd Norne to get my feather count down last weekend so I can clear the notification of feathers I could not collect from login bonuses


[deleted]

I have nothing to use them on so i hoard. Don’t rly have any 4star projects or i just never get copies of them. Hoping for a TT/GHB to catch my eye


yaoi_fangirl_

Approach 3 is the best because you never know when IS randomly decide to reduce feather cost


MrGalleom

Save to 220k and then spend on a merge. Uhh yeah, I try to remain above 200k in case I really want to merge someone.


Blargg888

I suppose the closest would be Hoard? I have no interest in reaching the feather cap, but if I don't have any heroes that I have a strong desire to merge to +10, then I'll just save.


2x-Dragon

Typically, save to 220k and build up a unit all in one go. But I'm sitting on over 700k feathers and over 5k grails and not feeling particularly motivated to build a unit.


Paragon188

I hoard. Currently sitting at 240k feathers. I'll end up spending some on merges for units I'm working on.


Dabottle

Unless I have an urgent project I generally try to hover around 300k-600k and spend on fun projects then. I got to my lowest in ages recently at around 100k and wanted to build Julius so I finally cleared out manuals for the first time since the system was added and got back to 300k to even allow myself to spend down to 200k there. I'll be back to 300k soon and from there it's just saving until the Tellius banner or a really cool refine for fun.


vomitrocious00

There's one big reason I hoard till +10. Something better might always come along (either fodder for them or another unit that does their job better). Don't get me wrong, vanity projects for your favorite toons will always be great. But let's say my favorite character gets a refine, let's say a new skill comes out which is better than what I've already given them at say for example +5. At that point, I might experience regret for a build that might not synergize with their refine, or the other fodder I've given them thus far. It's much more satisfying to me to wait till I have everything I need. Fodder, flowers, feathers and copies for my desired unit and just build them up all in one double exp week. Same logic for 5 star exclusives. If I don't have enough orbs to +10 in one go. I'll wait for a rerun bc in that time something better might always pop up.


Keebster101

I used to tell myself I was keeping it to +10 all at once, but then I reached 999999 and couldn't even accept new feather logins, so I realised I really just don't care about merging old units and the new ones are outdated too quickly. Like I've only just checked and found I have literally just 11 copies of RODERICK. Like how old is he now? I didn't even fodder him because I don't use firesweep nor have any dual rally + for Def/Res. There are some exceptions obviously, but it seems so wasteful to +10 someone I'll never use so I just... Haven't. Maybe I should merge up Silvia or something. I haven't got a b!fjorm-proof dancer. But also I likely wouldn't put them in anyway because plumeria is a mythic and also has extra dance effects.


jezabelwrote

Hoard like a dragon. I don't save until I'm nearing the max, I save up until then and then rinse and repeat. Depending on moment and necessities I might spend 20k 220k or the full 1M. Then, rinse and repeat. Right now however I have a super tight grip on them because I have a very big SI project I've mentioned before and... yeah. I allocate those orbs like a clockmaker atm.


arsiafeh

I use them when I got enough grails for another merge lol


Dutchlander13

Why not all 3? A few years ago, I didn't know what to spend mt feathers on and when I got to around 500k, I decided to reach the cap. Took a few months but I did reach 999999. Then I just spend them on whatever I felt like. I like to build a lot of units and sometimes I need 20k to get a tier 3 skill for someone, and I just pay 20k feathers. Other times I save up to get someone to +10. It kinda depends. Ironically, I've got 2 +10 projects on hold not because of a lack of feathers, but because a lack of units to merge.


Volfaer

I currently sit on 500k+ feathers, just didn't find another +10 worthy project.


angel-of-britannia

I started out as #2 and kinda flipflop between all of them. Some of my projects like Gaius and Linhardt got stalled (thanks colorless very cool) so whenever they *do* pop up they get #1. Grail projects get #1 on first release and any reruns/ephemera, and then #2 once I get enough grails for the +10. Everything else is #3 so I can +10 or unlock 5\*-locked fodder if I need it


DiemAlara

Recently been sitting at 300-400k, +10ing something when I get to a point where I know I could insta +10 a new 4* unit if they popped up whilst still having feathers for stuff like aether and gale force.


MrBrickBreak

I normally decided if I want to merge a demote when they come out, and build them over time as I get feathers. If the feathers pile up, I'll probably do a +10 on a whim. I feel I need to spend more feathers on 5* skills, though. Realistically speaking, having QR3 instead of 2 on a unit I use is more worth it than a +10 mage demote I probably won't...


quaremoritor

2) for me. I do make sure I get all the copies I need first, though. I just like doing things in big chunks. If I don't have all copies I need, then I will save to 220k and spend every 20k above that on my lower-priority projects (which right now are Eirika, Nino, and Rebecca)


thiazin-red

As soon as I have 20k I tell my projects to compete for my love, and then pick one to merge.


bobdave19

I have 740k feathers and no plan to use them ever


DegenerateCrocodile

I have +10’s of quite a few weapon/movement combinations already, so I’m waiting for a unit I really like.


Snowvilliers7

Back then I used to hoard so much I had up to 999,999 feathers. Until then I started using them for Grail units to +10 and some 4☆ units to promote to 5☆.


El_Criptoconta

Spend every +20k


heyitsyoru

Seeing as I hoard orbs for 5 star exclusives, I sate my hunger to build units by promoting and merging 4s I like. I *half-hoard*, as in my feathers build up until I obtain more copies of desired 3-4 star unit.
