Let's talk about the revealed units!

Now that I have fooled myself into believing that I will get an optimal IV Sonya on my first summon, let's discuss the revealed units!
I think Sonya and Delthea have the most potential. Sonya literally has a non-inheritable Wo Dao tome, and she has Moonbow, which is crazy good. She seems a lot like Nino, honestly.
Delthea also seems like an absolute nuke. Dark Aura is VERY good in my opinion, and it's nice that they put Miracle as her Special Skill as a reference to Gaiden/Echoes. Perhaps she will be the one to match Linde (but probably not)...

Yeah they all seem pretty fun indeed, would be interesting to see if people prefer sonya over nino. Shild pulse (now that I actually know what it does) seems pretty useful, and that new set of Killer2.0 weapons is a nice little buff though I feel they should have just ungraded that normal killer weapons if they actually do function as 1-ups.

I must say I don't prefer Mathilda's new artwork but her B skill seems semi useful. Seems more so situational though as it only stops TA and possibly TA-weapons.... I mean there Reinhardt with it... but I never had trouble with him in the first place, nore would I need this on my own. Mathilda's Anti-Cav spear is nice though, even though I only use horse teams XD

Can't wait for Burkut, love the artwork. hope he has an amazing weapon that's not just another DC thing. Though a "2" distant defense wouldn't be wanted as if the weapon had distant counter you could simply put a distant defense 3 on and that would just be better. hope if is more a blue xander than camus if anything.

I kinda hope Sonya becomes Nino 2.0...perhaps even better.
I do prefer the Echoes art to the Heroes art of most of the revealed characters; the Heroes art is still quite good, though.
Still a bit confused on Cancel Affinity, honestly. It's explained kind of weirdly in my opinion.
I really hope Berkut is accompanied by Rinea in his GHB. That would be SO cool. ^^

Their skillsets seem good enough, but until i see some stats to back it up, im gonna remain skeptical.

They seems super good with their skills but also kinda meh when I see Delthea stats... I guess we'll see what we can do with them later

Delthea might balance the meta a bit for melee characters and seems like a serious option to Linde for a blue mage, meanwhile Sonya seems quite nice too, even just with her default skills she's an awesome unit. The rest are so-so, with somewhat interesting stats (kinda min-maxed) but just so-so.

If the stats listed for the new characters are accurate, Delthea easily becomes one of the best Blue mages, if not the best in the game. 37 base attack with a 14 MT weapon and Death Blow as a native skill? That's pretty crazy. With 36 resistance she will stomp on almost every other mage. That even outshines my +Atk Mae with her +3 Atk skill I inherited by quite a bit. And that is just NEUTRAL. That just goes to show Delthea is pretty OP. And it gets better with Hone/Rally Atk

I think I got like a Delthea Atk+ / Def- because she has 10 base atk ( she has the same as chrom and chrom has 10 when atk+ and 2 def like a def- lucius )
I can't be sure since we need to wait for the stats, but I didn't thought about it that way so you made my day sir
