Which unit to pull for? (New Banner: FarFetched Heroes)

They are all pretty good. It all just depends on what you need for your team. Dorcas is the best of the three defensively, mia is the best offensively, and lute is a walking debuff factory. Lute is also pretty good offensively.

If you have Ayra then Mia might be a bit redundant (also considering the fact that the red infantry pool is just filled with good units and you might have some of those as well). Dorcas is the only green infantry DC weapon unit, which is nice and Lute is the highest BST infantry mage, which is also pretty good and she also has a really good weapon.

Having said that, I think that Dorcas and Lute should be your main focus with priority depending on whether you are lacking options in their respective color brackets.

I am pretty sure Mia and Dorcas are better ones. Actually it depends on what you need, but for unit analysis: Dorcas=Hector but can move 2 spaces and is a tiny bit squishier.
Mia=Ayra but better offensively and worse defensively, not sure if this makes her better or worse than Ayra, they are really evenly strong. Good thing is, that even if u pull a -atk or -spd mia she has a great A-Skill to inherit. Similar for Dorcas btw, his A-C Skills are good fodder.
Lute: not fitting for a bladetome, because her speed is only good if shes using her Prf weapon, she should not be -spd/atk/res or her kit will probably be a lot worse. she can run 3 ploys, like arvis which is nice, but i think i would only use 2(the inbuilt ones).
In my opinion, none of the 3 banner units will change the meta a lot(like blyn or reinhardt) but they can be good additions for your team. I personally wont pull any unit from this banner, because I'm saving orbs for the legendary heroes banner, which I would recommend for everyone.

Alright, thanks. I pulled an ayra on both of my accounts from the free pull, got a neutral and -hp + atk ayra. Will go for dorcas because my only green units are Performing Azura and Performing Inigo.

I wouldn't sleep on Lute. There's a tendency for everyone to dismiss non-blade tome mages; but Lute's kit virtually guarantees a double and can be paired with Desperation and her high-might weapon for what is essentially a double-barreled blue magic shotgun.

I wouldn't bend over backwards to summon her but if I didn't have a Linde or Delthea, I think she'd be my priority.

Dorcas is great.

Not really convinced that Mia does anything better than Ryoma, Ike, regular Lyn and Ayra, so I'm a hard pass on her. I'd also point out that her A-skill, while cool in concept, will work best on units that really want L&D or Swift Sparrow to ensure more doubles, so I don't actually think it is particularly practical to use. Same problem as its sister skill, Heavy Blade.

TL/DR - Dorcas if you don't already have Fae or Hector (or DC Amelia), Lute if you lack blue mages. I wouldn't bother with Mia as I personally think non-DC infantry swords are not worth the trouble, particularly if they aren't going to run Galeforce either. If you have the above covered, I'd save orbs for the legendary banner.
