I think Archanea has other options. Marth, Nyna, Minerva, and Linde, mainly. But, I feel like they'll use all three pegasus sisters before any of them, except for maybe Marth.
Oh, yes, I meant besides the pegasus sisters and Minerva -and maybe Marth (+ the ones we just got: Merric and Caeda, but that goes without saying now)- I couldn't think of anyone else. Didn't consider Linde, but she's another obvious option.
4 hours ago, Jotari said:If anything I'd say Archanea has more potential for special hero types than Valentia. Aside from Marth and Nyna, there's also Minerva, Hardin, Gotoh, Xane (could work particularly well for him, though they probably won't do something like that for a base unit outside of Engage), Michalis, Camus, Linde etc. There's a lot more independently important Archanea characters than Valentia characters, which tends a bit more to be the Alm and Celica show. The one asset (general use, not asset hero) that SoV has is The over classes, which they don't seem interested in using.
Oh, Hardin, Camus, Michaelis, Gotoh and Xane are good ones too, though less obvious (but I generally prefer the less obvious ones, AND I like all of these characters, so I'd never complain, would be specially happy with Camus or Xane). In Xane's case, it doesn't have to be his base version, I think that if they released his base version first and it was popular enough, they could put him as the Asseet Hero on another New Heroes banner later for cash grabbing like Reinhardt or Sonya but that'd gonna take at least two Archanea NH banners so... At least two years. Also, guess I never considered that they only did base Rearmed versions for Engage characters, I was seeing the 3 Hopes alts (like Hilda and Ingrid) as sort of a second base version (like those random characters that had two base versions like Olivia, Reinhardt, Olwen, the Ephraim+Lyon duo), but guess that if we don't count these and some OCs then yeah, it was only the Engage guys... Guess I can probably stop waiting for some other base Rearmed versions lol.
Well, I was worried about what they were gonna do about the rest of Archanea's cast but I guess they could make some more banners do just fine by using all these characters to carry them, even when we run out of women.

Palla didn't get a BS Portrait, so no special version for her. Instead we get Nyna and Minerva (possibly Hardin too).
Man, I love the BS portraits so much... (Not relevant to the thread, just had to say this).
18 hours ago, Jotari said:Duos are only available for seasonal I'm afraid. I wish they'd broken that taboo and give us Marla and Hestia as a Duo, that would have made them a lot more noteworthy.
Wasn't that Ephraim+Lyon duo a non seasonal? I mean, I know it's the standard now for duos to be seasonal only but I wouldn't mind if they did another like that one. Speaking of things they don't tend to do anymore, there should be more duos with more than two people like the Pegasus sisters one.
17 hours ago, Fire Emblem Fan said:You know I really wouldn't be surprised if the Pegasus sisters and Minerva are next in line for an alt on an Archanea New Heroes banner. Especially Catria.
Absolutely. I can't see anyone else except for Nyna (and maaaaaaaaybe Marth, probably not, but since Celica got an Ascended I guess it's at least a possibility) being the Asset Heroes in Archanea banners, it'll surely be a flood of Pegasus sisters on the next few ones (I wanna see if they'll ever do two of them on the same banner).
On 3/15/2024 at 11:57 PM, Jotari said:Not random enough. Seeker should have been on one of those banners! Honestly I can't think of any obscure characters on that one. It was all the usual fair of popular characters and Heroes OCs. Dart or Lifis are probably the least popular character on it, but they're both playable characters so they're expected to be in the game at some point, unlike Kilma or Greil. If they really wanted to make the pirate banner introduce characters who otherwise wouldn't have a chance then there's a litany of pirate bosses that could serve. Probably best of all Gazzak as there's some notoriety in being the first boss in the entire series. Fargus also would have worked very well on the pirate banner, which would have opened up a spot on the later Blazing Blade banner.
Oh yeah, from the top of my head there were more randos on the pirate banner, I recalled Tanya and Dagdar being on it too but upon reflection, Tanya is just her OG self and Dagdar isn't even on the game at all, lol. I'd consider Geese a bit of a random too though (I mean, he's not an ugly old dude but still not the kind of guy I'd think would get an alt), and most definitively Darros too (I'm not sure how popular or not he is, just know that at least not popular enough for me to have ever heard of him besides that banner, and I know most playable characters on the series at least by name or face save for the Engage crowd so when I never heard of someone I assume they're a bit unpopular), and Surtr is someone I wasn't expecting to get an alt by then at all... But yeah, since they're all playable characters I guess we could always go more underdog than this, still it was one of the seasonal themes that gave more space to less popular (playable) characters.

The Celestial Stone store resets twice a year, so we get two guaranteed Formas a year, excluding random one-off gifts.
Oh, I rarely summon up to 40 times on a banner so I don't use the celestial stones much (and when I use, I spend the very few I have on other items I use more, even if I know that Formas are more "valuable", cause well... I'm gonna use the other stuff more), although even then, I do have some Formas stacked up so i'll try to spend them soon instead of letting them rot forever. Man, I really should've gotten that Hatari Karla some HoFs ago instead of getting only Leila...
1 hour ago, Tybrosion said:Yeah, I’m going to give that suggestion a hard “hell no”. Give that role to Demonic Beast Dedue (you know, a guy with no alts at all) instead if we really need an arcane weapon for armored beasts. Edelgard, for her part, can get a busted kid alt instead and like it.
Even with Nidhoggr being revealed to be a beast armor, that will increase the number of armored beasts in FEH to a grand total of……four. With that in mind, do we really want IS to waste a Rearmed Hero on armored beasts?
Well, yeah... Guess armoured beasts really are one of the least needed types of rearmed units. Also, next year will be book VI's TT+ so we'll get plenty of beasts there, + the other beast OCs on this book (whether they're rearmed, armoured or not), so two chances to get plenty of either armoured or rearmed beasts (I agree it shouldn't be both at the same time though).
And I really hope we get beast Dedue this year, just cause I like him.

Oh wow, I'd like to think that I would have checked for that had I intentionally pulled for her, but I don't know that for sure. Just another unit in the pile of "can't use yet", featuring inaugural member Rearmed Lif. By the time we get accessible bridge fodder we'll probably have at least another couple infantry Asset heroes.
Lif is 18 months old now and I still can't effectively use his Atk/Def Clash.
Yeah, I'm pretty keen to start using up my Forma Souls since I'm already unlikely to be able to spend them all before I or IS quit for good. But yet another month of nothing interesting on offer, both with the old 3H and the new 3H HoFs. I guess it might make me slightly more likely to redeem Eldicakes on the current HoF but with a day left, I better get cracking on finding his best build.
I do have some formas stacked as well... I'm verter using them soon I guess, specially since we get one per year and I use less than this per year so it's not like I'll be short of formas.

It's mildly amusing that the reaction to Fallen Edelgard has gone from "noooo, she's so toxic for the meta" to now "noooo, she's a complete waste of a slot on Hall of Forms" because there's almost nothing really worth adding to her skill-wise.
Tbf she is a complete waste in HoF.

Yeah, Fallen banners avoid the usual concerns. Rearmed Chrom isn't even any different from usual Fallen banner fare.
Honestly, I do kind of hope we get Rearmed Fallen Three Hopes Edelgard at some point even though she'd be sort of a duplicate, because she'd offer an arcane beast armor weapon. Not like we'd be missing out on anything particularly new for it.
December was Rearmed+Mythic, but yeah, ultimately the same story. I'm glad Thracia didn't lose a character slot though, and I hope we get another full roster in April. At least Jun-Dec aren't an issue since they get insta-demotes to make up for it (aside from CYL, which is its own story). Maybe sometime they'll start doing insta-demotes for Jan-Apr as well, to make it a moot point.
I'd fear the existence of the literal Fallen Edelgard 2.0 lol, though it would definitively be nice to get an inheritable armoured beast. I wonder if Nidhoggr has a slight chance of being a rearmed instead of a mythic (also hooray for the first colored armoured beast).
And I'm also glad that they didn't do two asset heroes in january and so managed to not lose a character slot. I agree that they definitively should make instant demotes for every banner with 2 Asset Heroes to make up for the lost spot, it would have been great on this banner since Archanea still has 36 playable characters to add. I guess they make the insta demotes more to make the Forging Bonds still get 4 non OCs than because of a lost slot, and since the banners on the beggining of the year have no OC, they just didn't do it... Which I think was a poor decision, specially with Archanea since with the amount of characters left to add, it won't be surprising if some of them turn out to never even get in.
2 minutes ago, Humanoid said:I've never heard the term Asset Hero before. 😮 Not an unreasonable term for Rearmed and Attuned heroes. Are other special hero types included to, or is it just about the ability to duplicate skills?
Ascended Heroes are included. As far as I know, it only includes the new types of hero that come on the TT+s, and not every "premium" type of hero (for lack of a better word), so Legendaries/Mythics/Emblems wouldn't be called like that, but I'm not 100% sure of this part, only know that the Ascended/Rearmed/Attuned heroes are definitively included.

Another less likely candidate for GHB, but still certainly possible, is Kilma, Fellicia and Flora's dad. He's not on CYL, and that's more of a death sentence to him than the likes of Kotaro, but he does have a cool design and obvious connection to existing characters, I'd like to see him in the game. If not as a GHB, it would be fun if they brought him in for the Ice Tribe Seasonal (that's what everyone is expecting for this year, right? They've done Fire and Wind so far, I think, seasonals tend to slip by without me even noticing them). I know Seasonals are blatant cash grabs to give more unique movement types and randomly debut broken units, but I would like if they threw in the occasional new or obscure character into them when appropriate, who might not have a chance otherwise. Even now, the most exciting seasonal for me was Greil, just because Tellius is so big and his chance of being on a banner or even a legendary aren't high. Man, it's such a pipe dream, but I would have pulled so hard if they'd but the Elder of Arcadia on the Arcadia banner. I might have even paid some money to get him. But the fact that I haven't paid for the game since the first year I played is precisely why my obscure tastes aren't the ones being appealed to.
That was one of the reasons I liked the Pirate banner, it always had some randos, they should really take more opportunities to keep doing that, Flora and Felicia's dad on an Ice Tribe banner would be neat (also yeah, it was fire and wind tribes, I guess everyone is expecting ice cause there's probably none to do after that and they'll switch the theme). Unfortunately, as another person that likes the randos but isn't willing to spend money on the game, yeah, it's surely not to our tastes that the game is catering to, so I expect to see someone like... Ugh, Fjorm (or something) on this banner instead, though as long as we get either Flora or Felicia I guess I'm happy enough.
26 minutes ago, Othin said:Last year's Fallen banner had Rearmed Chrom. I think it's a safe bet that this year's will have at least one of Rearmed/Attuned, potentially multiple.
Oh yeah, Rearmed Chrom! I completely forgot him! Tbh I don't mind having multiple Asset Heroes on the Fallen banner as it very likely won't be used as a way to "rob" anyone from anyone.
Now, thinking back, I wonder why january's NH banner didn't get two Asset Heroes... Every NH banner (barring the CYL) has got it since july of last year (or rather, sorta since june, that got 1 asset hero and one mythic Hero, Heidr, in it), so I'd expect a Thracia banner to have it too, idk.
-
Mmmm, it's an ok banner and I hardly have significant complaints, but definitively a skip for me (specially given the time of the year it comes at). I really like Merric but I'm not desperated to get him now so yeah, will keep saving orbs instead (also I'm glad that Merric's shoulder pads got the dangling gems in some way, I was really hoping for him to get an alt with that).
I think they left Jubelo out to try to make people want him more because, as it has been said here already, this banner really makes it feel like they have no faith in the rest of Archanea's characters... And yeah, it was a gross mistake to put Nyna and Elice on the same banner but guess the mistake is done now so they have to try to create interest on the other characters in some way(?). Yulia should've probably been a 5* but I guess they didn't have too many other options of women to add (the others left are Midia, Marisha and Cecil) and didn't want to put Jubelo as the 4* here on her place cause then Caeda would have been the only woman, so they chose Yulia to make us wait for Jubelo, I think. I actually like how the gender ratio is here: 50/50, a woman is the demote, and one man got to be the asset Hero instead of putting someone like Minerva or Nyna or Katarina or whatever in his place.
I can only guess that, with this apparent lack of fate in Archanea, the next banner will run together with OCs at the end of the year (maybe get 3 asset heroes even like A!Sonya's banner, whether it's 2 OCs or 2 Archanea characters). They'll probably keep adding some men on the same way they added Mycen on the Sonya banner, cause out of the 36 playable Archanea characters left to add only 3 are women.
9 hours ago, Othin said:Shura GHB next month is still a possibility, given that he and Castor could have different bow colors.
I really hope April isn't another double-alt month. But it'll be interesting to see how they handle the Fallen banner in May.
If I'm remembering it correctly, there weren't any Asset Heroes in past year's (and 2022's) Fallen banners so I think they'll just do the same thing again and do none.
EDIT: I'm glad as fuck thats they didn't add Xane now cause I'm trying to save my orbs.

A farmer’s market banner could be fun, although I wonder what characters would wear. Maybe more casual/villager-like clothes?
You mean sakura/cherry blossoms aren’t the flowers of cherry trees? That’s news to me. It’s awesome that you live in a place where cherry blossoms bloom. It’s too cold where I live. One year I went down to Washington DC with my camera to see the cherry blossoms (and art museums,) but the temperature ended up being 20 degrees colder than usual. Not only were the cherry blossoms not in bloom, but I was underdressed for the weather and cold the whole time.
I’m surprised that in seven years there hasn’t been a Sacaen banner. Not only is Sacae in two games, but it’s more important than most of the locales that have been featured so far in seasonal banners. Sacae also has a very distinctive aesthetic to be used for the outfits.
I imagine a Sacaen banner featuring Lyn (inevitably), Rutger (he’s one of the more popular Binding Blade characters, he doesn’t have an alt, and he could be part of the festival to learn more about his heritage), either Guy or Rath (I prefer Guy, but Rath seems like the more likely choice and I don’t think IS would use both of them,) Wolf (the plainsmen of Aurelis are somewhat like Sacae; he’d be curious about a Sacaen festival and he deserves an alt) and a duo of Fir and Binding Blade Karel (I’d like to see the niece-uncle pair interact more; Fir would want to know more about life in Sacae and her family, and Karel would tell her about it.)
I always wanted a sacaean banner (I like their clothes a lot), I wonder if it'd feature mainly characters from Sacae like you said or if it'd be only 1 or 2 people from there with the rest being guest like the desert banners, I'd like it either way. The good thing is that this is very possible to happen, they'll have to think of a new theme after the elemental tribes thing ends (which I think will be this year with Ice Tribe) and when the Deserts theme end too, I think they'll start to go with countries/territories as one of the nee themes and Sacae is likely to be one of the first ones on the list.
I also didn't know that cherry blossoms/sakura aren't the same as as the ones from cherry trees. In my country, the normal name for sakuras literally translates as "flower of the cherry tree"! ("Sakuras" is also right but it's mostly otakus/people a bit more familiar with japanese culture who say it), though probably most people mix cherry blossom with the flowers of cherry trees, probably the flower aficionados have different names for them even in my language idk.
7 hours ago, Mercakete said:Yep; middle-class clothes. Shopkeeper or craftsman styles, you know? And, of course, with what they're selling and such as props! Like, Clanne and Hisame could have a bunch of pickled items in jars around them. Maybe their "tome" could be a pickle jar, too.
(Reminder: Pickles aren't always just cucumbers!)
Indeed. Sakura/plum blossom/peach blossom are actually more closely related to roses! They don't produce fruit, and are purely ornamental trees. That said, the fruit-bearing trees do blossom too, but not in the same season and they're not the same species.
Sorry to hear about your cold experience! I hope you get to see the flowering trees someday. They're gorgeous. 🙂
Cooooool, thanks for sharing the information! That will surely be useful for me on the future, as a person that likes both flowers and random trivia.
Also, what the fuck pickles are the same as cucumbers????? (I realized that pickles were supposed to look different and bigger when in nature and that the process of turning them into er... pickled pickles would change them a bit but never realized that they were supposed to be cucumbers!)
3 hours ago, Jotari said:It took me an embarrassingly long time into adulthood before I realized pickles are cucumbers at all and not some other magical vegetable.
I found out just right now and man... It's like finding out that Santa isn't real but as an adult. I feel a bit dumb now, even, I also just assumed it was some other magical vegetable and never bothered to look up what it looked like.
When I was an older kid/tween I remember finding out that guarana is a fruit (at least where I lived at the time -not sure if that's such a huge thing on most of the world - guarana is a flavor of soda pop about as popular as orange soda or cola flavored soda) and I felt dumb as hell cause I just thought that the guarana soda was made of something that is... Well, not a fruit, like Coca cola or whatever. It was another Santa level of realization, and I didn't think there was any of these left to have as an adult lol.
-
I feel like, for Archanea, a really good Xane (say, if his weapon can copy an ally's weapon effect or skill or something of the like) could sell well, a good staff unit too specially if it's a woman (I mean, maybe I'm a bit out of these things so I'm not 100% sure, but didn't Safy and Tina sell well?), otherwise I guess that Asset Hero Caeda could carry a banner well enough (watch they give her eff against some 4 types of units like her pre legendary alts had + unconditional vantage + DC + one more broken shit like divine vein/start of combat damage/"unit can move 2 spaces away from an unit within 2 spaces"/desperation/whatever else), it'd be like the the A!Elincia banner that was half men and had Elincia and Lucia carry it, they just need Caeda and maybe one more good unit.
Also, I think an Asset Hero Nyna might be possible, and if she happened people would go crazy too (specially cause her OG alt is shit), even more if she was another arcane staff (but if that ends up being the case, I'm sure it won't happen to soon, since we just got the first arcane staff...).
Basically, my point is that Asset Hero Nyna or Caeda could very likely carry a banner by themselves (maybe with 1 more good unit on the banner), and that any premium staff unit (specially if a woman) and a good Xane could be well selling characters too. I don't think that Archanea is THAT far down on the hole of good options yet. Who knows, maybe Asset Hero Merric is a viable option too (but I'd bet on him being pushed to the end of the year to share a banner with OCs, like Ced last year).
-
Ended up forgetting and making the thread way later than I normally do these, oops. In any case, the next New Heroes banner is supposed to be out on the 15th or 16th depending on where you live.
As usual, what are your guesses, expectations, wants (or not wants), etc?

I don't know about anything else he had ongoing, but, as I understand it, for Dragon Ball Super, while he's still be credited as creator and co-writer, his contributions to the Super Manga have been largely advisory.
Oh yeah? Tbh I'm not sure what he was doing at the moment (I was sure that DB was one of them though, cause I didn't know he had mostly only an advisor role in the Super manga) but since BrightBow said "I thought he was in the midst of all kinds of projects", I simply assumed he was likely involved in more projects. Whether he was or not, still may he rest in piece, but I hope he managed to finish most (or all) of his unfinished projects, if he had any.
Not sure if it's more sad or happy that he managed to make a creation that lasts longer than his own life (since other people are taking care of it now, I assume, since he wasn't the one of the major contributors as you said), it's a bit of both I guess, and surely a feat worth of respect.
-
Danm... I was just checking the new threads here to see if there was anything interesting and was hit with this, I wasn't expecting it too. Not even a fan of DB, but still feel a bit sad. It's a shame that his ongoing stories and projects will be left without and ending, that is one of the things I fear the most (for myself and for any person that writes, specially if you have a lot of fans), and I'm sure it's a fear for anyone that has an ongoing story like this or that is a fan of an ongoing story.

I'd guess it's because Alm and Celica can actually be deployed together in regular maps in the post game. Though Alm's critical can get so high her might as well be guaranteed.
Would still be cool if they had kept it though, the fact that they have to be beside each other to get the guaranteed crit makes it reasonable enough to not be a particularly broken even though it's an obviously powerful mechanic. It'd be a bit like the triangle attack.
3 hours ago, AnonymousSpeed said:Literal power couple through the last chapter. Fascinating story-telling.
***
The GBA games have gotten a lot of praise, and I think it's clear to see why. Support bonuses being tied to affinities not only gives you variety, but also a ton of flavor. It's fun to pick an affinity for a unit in a ROM hack or roleplaying campaign, and it's fun to see what a unit's affinity is and think about how it reflects their personality.
However, the GBA support bonuses have two big flaws- they're too powerful, too complicated, and you only know what the bonuses are when you have the wiki open. I like the idea of having different characters giving different support bonuses- Engage and Conquest try this as well, but they also lack transparency.
I don't mind them being too poweful in GBA, partly because I usually don't grind for it (and when I do, it tends to be mostly for the conversations and to get paired endings, I use a LOT of characters at once per playthrought so it's annoying to have to send and keep support pairs together all the time, which results in it not becoming to broken for me most of the time), but also cause it makes up for it taking such a ridiculous amount of turns do (and being annoying to do unless you're griding for them, I mean, how many supports you're getting per playthrought if you don't go out of your way to grind?) and the fact that you have a limit of 5 per character, + FE6 and 7 don't even tell you who can support who (and if it wasn't for Eliwood+Hector and Roy+Lilina, you'd need guides- or someone to tell you- to even know supports are a possibility, lol). Also, I find it cool that you have the option of using supports for stuff such as giving Assassin Joshua get very reliable crit rate or other crazily broken stuff, but only if you want to go out of your way for it.
I guess that in terms of being broken or not, FE6 had the system be more balanced and less unfair than in the other GBA titles, the former because of the support points limit the whole party could get per chapter instead of 1 level per pair per chapter, and the latter because since the game only had paired endings for Roy, you would't feel like you had to keep griding for supports if you wanted paired endings so the mechanic acted more like any extra thing that gave you some nice boosts and some lore about your units. I still like it more how it worked in 7 and 8, but still, I guess 6 had it be less broken.
2 hours ago, Shanty Pete's 1st Mate said:Not sure if you knew this, but it still exists... sort of. Alm grants Celica +10 Crit and +20 Dodge, while Celica grants Alm +20 Crit and +10 Dodge. Also it activates within 3 tiles, rather than requiring immediate adjacency.
No I didn't know, but still think it'd have been cooler to get the guaranteed crit with immediate adjacency. Just cause I like gimmicky stuff like that though, not for thinking it's particularly more optimal.
Adding another thing I found nice: PoR's bond supports that made some specific characters act as an iron rune to another specific character when besides them (also there's data in the game showing that Greil would protect Titania from crits), and were separated from the normal bond supports (since the pairs are not the same that have normal bond supports). I find this pretty cool and wish they did this sort of thing more times.
-
I'd say FE7 and 8, I don't put 6 here cause as far as I remember it doesn't do anything better than it does in 7 and 8 (I can be forgetting something though...), and it's worse because instead of being able to raise 1 level of support per pair per chapter (like in 7 and 8), you can only obtain 120 support points per chapter for the whole party , with the amount of turns it takes to grind supports that's pretty annoying. Also, if that counts, another reason for me to prefer FE7/8's support system is that FE6 doesn't have paired endings with the exception of Roy's harem while the other two have. I also like how some characters in FE7 can have special conversations (by pressing talk during a specific chapter) if they have an A or B support together, wish they did this more.
Not to say the support system in the GBA games is not a bit flawed, most pairs take a ridiculous amount of turns to get to A, and the "only 5 support levels per character" rule can be rather annoying sometimes.
7 hours ago, Jotari said:I'm gonna be that contrarian and say the weird answer nobody thought of. Gaiden. I like Gaiden's support system the best, not Shadows of Valentia, OG Gaiden. "Gaiden had a support system?" I hear you shout with great shock and horror, well, no but also yes? If you put Alm and Celica beside each other then they have a guaranteed crit rate. Since Alm and Celica are only playable on the final map (and start on opposites sides of that map), there's not much use to this. But 100% crit rate is broken and awesome and I love it. Genealogy later had something similar with his lover and siblings boost, but that's not gauranteed so not as freely abusable.
I wonder why they didn't they keep this in SoV, it wouldn't be particularly broken if they did, since we have characters that get 100% crit rate via triangle attack (and for a lot more chapters) in other games anyway.

Spring Karel could still happen in a year or two. There was a three year gap between Spring Fir & Spring Bartre and Spring Karla, after all.
……Or, Spring Karel ended up on the same cutting room floor that Spring Nowi did. IS can be very selective on which follow-ups they want to do.
Like here, we have Cordelia since Severa got a Spring alt in 2021 but we don’t have Olivia (who, by the way, has gotten literally nothing since 2018) to match with the Spring Inigo from the same banner as Spring Severa.
Oh yeah, good points, guess the other alfar girls are to appear on the next years too. Also I never stopped to think just HOW LONG it's been since Olivia got her last alt, hella weird that she got her OG version and 2 more alts on the first 2 years of the game and then never got anything else, Olivia dev must've been fired for some reason lol.

Can't believe Mirabilis is the demote, only reason that could make me want her would be a tier 4 dance skill since I don't like her character and already have other dancers with reliable fancy dances, but... Of course she didn't get it. I mean, she's pretty alright for a demote and the fact she didn't get a tier 4 skill means I won't have to pull on this banner, which is great. I'm almost sure she'll be one of the 4* heroes in one of the next year's anniversary banners too (including the free special hero) so if I ever want her for some reason, I can just wait.
I'm pissed at the lack of Karel too cause I was really counting that he was gonna be here, but alas, another reason to not brother wasting my orbs here.
Will try my free summon either for the duo or for Sylvain and that's it.
Also, great that 3 Houses and Engage got my least favorite seasonal banner, hope that means they'll get less things later on the year, specially Engage. The Engage fatigue is really hapenning now I guess (even though it's good for me that they get the Bunny banner instead of say, the bridal one or something), they already got all the 3 mythic/Legendary/emblem heroes of this year for now, a New Heroes banner and now half of a seasonal banner dedicated to them, and we're on the beggining of march! And I'm sure they'll take part in at least the summer and fallen banners too so there will be more of them in the middle of the year. Glad no one from Engage won CYL at least cause geez... They're really compensating for the lack of representation it had last year.

And they're really spoiling us with 4-star dancers with both Lara and now Mirabilis being released as 4-star units.
I might have some budget lying around for this banner since although AHR is coming up, I think there should be enough time before the AHR banner that it will end up on next month's budget instead of this month's, but we'll see. It's pretty convenient that Mirabilis shares a color with Sylvain because I'm definitely going to want an extra copy of him to give his skills to Rearmed Chrom to duplicate.
I might also go for 2 copies of Framme. Not sure how many copies of Chloe I want. I already have a decently merged Anna to use as a score stick in Resonant Battles, so I don't need Chloe that badly.
Crux is pretty cool, yeah. And we also got Seadall as 4* dancer, if we count the end of last year, I noticed that they're doing a bunch of 4* dancers too, I wouldn't complain if Tethys or Silvia got an alt soon because of this...

If there's another 3H character present, I'd like it to be Petra.
If there's another Heroes unit present, I'd like it to be ...I don't really care.
If there's to be an Engage character, I'd like it to be, eh, Louis? Zelkov? Another Citrinne at a push?
If there's another OC I want it to be Peony or Plumeria cause I'm a sucker for fancy dancers, and also cause then there will be a chance of 3 units I like being present on the banner: Karel (yeah, I'm really assuming HARD that he'll be here), Mirabilis and Peony, and then I might summon a few times instead of completely skipping it.
Of course, I'd prefer it if Karel was the TT unit, and the only unit I might want is Mirabilis (even better if she's not good enough for me to feel like I have to spend orbs trying to get her), and the rest of the banner were 3 Houses and Engage or something so I could safely skip it and save my orbs.
I think they could do Citrinne yeah, and use that to throw us bunny Alcryst next year by association.

There must be something hanging off Mirabilis’ wings because it really looks like a braid or ponytail. It’s funny how the silhouette sort of makes it look like there are three characters, with a figure on the left in a wide-brimmed straw hat and a ponytail or braid.
Lol I thought it were 3 people for some seconds until I realizei ir was a wing.

Also it's valid to mention that the next season of Resonant Battles, that begin on the 12th, has Engage as the Harmonized Title bonus. This means that one of the titles for the Spring Harmonized Hero may be Engage.
I think Freyr won't be here now (unfortunately), since we already have Lindhardt and most certainly Karel, and I doubt they'll put 3 men here (I mean, guess it's possible, I just think they won't).
Also, if I remember correctly, they always put the TT unit on the silhouettes right? If yes then Lindhardt will be the TT+, which means I won't get my Karel for free... Crap. Doubt Karel will be part of the harmonic either so that'd mean he's either the demote or the other 5*, while the harmonic will probably be two women (and I won't be surprised if Eitr or Plumeria are part of it, perhaps with a woman from Engage as was said) and the other unit will very probably be another women too (I wonder what will be the title though, Engage? 3 Houses? Maybe Heroes if neither Plumeria or Eitr make it to the harmonic, with the harmonic being 3Houses-Engage then).
