as the title says! what are your favorite festival familiars (and recolors) by set? pretty curious to see if people often prefer the same flights for these.
for me, it's like this:
[b]sprites:[/b]
[item=plague sprite]
[b]nymphs:[/b]
[item=flower nymph]
[b]bears:[/b]
[item=timber tender]
[b]impostor bears:[/b]
[item=sunsea pseudo]
[b]acolytes:[/b]
[item=lightning lancer]
[b]goblins:[/b]
[item=enduring goblin]
[b]spirits:[/b]
[item=spirit of nature]
[b]ambassadors:[/b]
[item=fathomsearch ambassador]
[b]false ambassadors:[/b]
[item=lithetail assassin]
so... i'd say i lean towards nature/plague familiars? especially the plague sprite. i love plague sprites.
