Talk:Ivan the Terrible/@comment-39400155-20191223112735/@comment-35332252-20200108172112

Much of the problem is that he was unlucky with his banners.The problem is that when he  1st came out people were more interested in Anastasia and the new avenger and then the 2nd banner was after NY.

But when it comes to gameplay  Achilles  was much more hyped from apocrypha as you have said and after Skadi came out he got even more popular since he was the 1st 5star AOE quick rider. And while Ivan was very strong before his buff if you had Drake thhen there was no need to get another AOE buster 5star rider since she filled that role pretty well + some people had Iskandar who too is very popular and even now after his buff more people may notice him but I dont think his position in terms of popularity and "OMG I WANT HIM" feeling reall improved. In fact with Europa who too is buster AOE rider and is new + for some even waifu or simply a nice "grandma" will get more attention then him.

To be honest I had my eyes on Ivan before Europa came out. But since I got her and  I like her more for her greek origin- I have lost interest in Ivan. When it comes to farming she can do that role very well and for boss killing I have Ozy.

And many people probably feel the same for  the reason I listed above even tho he is and excelent servant.
