My second 10 pull. Another like this will (almost) make up for Nian. My first 10-pull had 2 Uatges and 2 Midnights. Of course, I had to do another 18 pulls to get Sesa, netting me another 3 Midnights along the way... and an Executor, who was one of my two missing operators. So a pretty good banner for me.
Very convenient that it required exactly 38 pulls, and just after the month started. In other news, totally unrelated, I have no more gold certs.
As for actually playing, well. No first day Risk 18 for me. I got rank 14 without much trouble, but I cannot quite get anything higher. I've been neglecting Masteries, and with the limited OPs from the first-week risks that's just too big of a problem. I might be able to pull of Risk 18 by the end of the week (as I swiftly try to M3 Hoshi, Lappland, Myrtle, Texas...) but I may just save resources and grab it week 2.
Did anyone else do the Training Grounds? I found it trivially easy to R7 all of them... except the Transport Hub. WTF, 50% HP terminals AND extra strength range targeting of them? With 4 OP limit? That one is going to be a real pain in the Daily cycle.
But I also really enjoyed the experience of beating the pants off the enemies in Area 59 Ruins when it was limited to R7. That was a lot of fun.
