Dancer overkill?

Not basically a question on the upcomming banner but rather a personal opinion of mine..
I think we have too many dancer. Some of them are really my most favorite units but with the lowered BST and the immense amount of dancers there is no way to use all of them.
PA!Azura and PA!Olivia and Lene are my favs, I have Flyzura which has the best offensive stats, I have a super tanky Lene, a just coolish normal Azura and imo the best out of them all the Flying Olivia. She has the best skills, flying unit etc... Other dancers I don't even mention as they only collect dust in the barracks.
That is why I put her in one of my 2 main teams and PA!Azura in every leveling team and sometimes just for fun. I'd love to use Lene but taking a second dancer for the red team spot is difficult. Also there is no real purpose I can give PA!Olivia even if I like her...
And now we get even more dancers.

I don't want to brag about which units I got. I just see a serious over-supply for dancers.. even more so when some game modes allow only 1 dancer and due to their lowered BST it's unlikely to run a effective non-dancer build.. you know what I mean?

We do have a bit too many of them to choose from and I guess that once you have like 4-5 dancers, you most likely already have more than enough, but it's nice that they keep on adding small differences that allow them to fit into different teams and have different roles.

That new Micaiah is insane with her dual effective red tome. The dual effect and red color already make her unique enough for a dancer.

The colored daggers are also a nice addition. It's a shame that these newly released ones will just be stuck with their base daggers, because there are no alternatives.

Afterall, these new dancers are for collection purposes only or for new players. They can't be played in arena effectively due to their abysmal BST and in other content, they won't provide too much of a difference over a simple Olivia.

Actually I’m assuming they’ll be able to inherit other daggers just like Legendary Lyn and Lucina can inherit other bows and dragons can inherit different-colored breaths.

Actually, that makes sense. My bad.

Its still great to have at least 4 of them, so i dont see any problem here. Should i mention new players who got Olivia as theyre one and only dancer?
I can compare it with having a lot of sword lords but no one seems to care.

What I wish most is that we could get a couple more of our definite surplus of dancers into the 4* pool. Right now Olivia is the only option for non-whales who want a dancer with high merges. Olivia is great, but it would be nice to have an alternative color option.

Yeah, that would be awesome.
I think Azura, Lene, Ninian certainly should be demoted, as well as some other 5* locked units.

I agree, although I could see them saying Ninian is special since she’s a dragon, although it’s not like that does her any favors bst-wise, and her attack is beyond unsalvageable, so I still think she deserves a demotion. Azura and Lene have no excuse, they should be in the 4* pool, like, yesterday.

I still wish IS would implement a feature where 5* exclusive units drop to 4-5 after a year of being in the game, that would give us Azura and, I think, Ninian. Shame there's no non-seasonal green dancer.

Seriously, right? Hey IS, performing Inigo isn’t anything special anymore, and you won’t break the meta (much) if you add him to the regular 4* pool, how about it? Alternatively, add NY!Azura since she’s now outclassed as a flying dancer by YT!Olivia and her uber-buffing prf anyway.

I think that is too much to ask, no seasonal units got demoted as of yet. Also Inigo can be viewed as a alt ver of Laslow, i dont remember any alts been demoted as well.

Oh, I’m sure you’re right, this was just me indulging in wishful thinking for a moment there. ;)

Well, i dont see anything bad here, you will get em all if you want, all you need is orbs and patience :)

To many dancers? Naw there is not enough bwahahaha! Next up that dancing armored unit! >:D (I would laugh if I saw one brought in by IS though. I would snipe no matter how bad they actually were)

I don't know what you're trying to say really. Nobody needs 11 dancers. But nobody can use 39 infantry swords either. It's about having a choice. You want them to just stop adding new units completely because we have enough to play the game already?

I'm definitely excited to get some new options. My only dancers are Olivia and PA!Olivia, and I don't even like Olivia. If you're not excited for these ones and have no use for them... just don't summon for them.

Im more bothered by the fact that not only are we getting units that weren't dancers in their games as dancers, but also our 4th xander and 3rd ryoma BEFORE ACTUAL DANCERS like lalum or tethys.
But whatever, as always IS does whatever the fuck they want.

I disagree. With the AA changes from a while ago, now if you want to use a dancer in each fight after the first one to improve your chances of succeeding, then you would need 12 dancers, 3 for each blessing.

This new batch is really great for me. Not only are they dancers to fill my missing spots (I need 3 more), but they come with slayer weapons that could help out with the infinite number of armors and dragons I encounter there.

Too bad I have no orbs....

I'm not complaining. 3 out of 4 of them use new weapons for a Dancer. I'll take variety.
