I guess you could say 'both'. I pulled Bellona within 80 pulls, Lidica within 40 TWICE, and most recently got Charles after some 150 pulls (which is still quite lucky considering).Impressive. Do you seldom pull or are you quite lucky (or both)?
I skipped every banner in-between. I only used loose bookmarks on Cermia; my skystone stash was never touched. The power of restraint and self-control.
