My Guess on the coming Banner!

With this being Genealogy, and Gen 1 at that, I have a few units (and 1 specific alt) that I think will make it in.
And if you say that Genealogy won't get alts, Thracia and Olwen got alts, so anything is possible (even more so when I pick the alt I want)

Llewyn with Forseti, not as a bard, but as a mage with a really good rally skill, to mirror his job as a bard.

Quan with Gae Bolg. Self Explanatory

Edain(or a healer) since we need more and another one won't hurt.

Armored Arvis. I think most everyone wanted this on his release, and with them having at least 1 alt per Story banner as of late, I'd love an armored Arvis, probably with Divine Valflame or something akin to that.

Anywho. Post your guesses if you want to, or burn me for wanting an alt. Either way, I'm not gonna pull. I need to save for a very specific character. *Hints in the attached picture*

I completely expect Quan and Lewyn with their respective weapons.

I have no clue who could be the demoted unit though. I was thinking Lex as we lack axe cavs.

And if we have a Tempest Trials with this banner, I really want Azel. We've gotten all Velthomer royalty with red hair for free, so I expect Azel to do the same. (Plus Lex and Tailtiu can have their buddy.) Just not a GHB because that belongs to Jamke, and unlike the others red-head Velthomers, you never had to fight him.

Armored Arvis would be sick, but it's unlikely as this is a Gen 1 banner.

Yeah for the alt it's more possible we get some type of sigurd alt
I believe Seliph/Sigurd will be the next legendary hero.

I don't. Seliph doesn't wield lances, and neither does Sigurd if I'm not mistaken. There's not reclassing in those games the way there is in Awakening or Fates where we can make characters that are infantry into fliers and etc, so I don't think they'll be around.

Agreed. Though, they could always give them some strange combination, much like Eirika saw. I won't be holding my breath, though.

As a legendary hero, definitely Sigurd if they choose not to break the pattern with Eliwood or something.

In the actual banner, I hope we don't get alts, not that I mind them, there's just too many potential characters (in this game, especially) to justify including an alt.

Wait, nevermind, the color for the new L. Hero isn't red.

That's what I'm saying! The cast is just too big for them to go for an alt, especially of a game the vast majority of FEH players haven't played. It's one thing when they drown us in Lucy, but an alt of incest?

The novelty of armored mage has worn off for me, so Armor Arvis would be cool, but not like it would have been back in the day. Besides, we don't often see enemies in the summoning pool. And, as a gen 1 banner, it would be pretty odd.

I want Lex, for sure. Hector on a horse? Yes, please! That said, I'll take Dew, Beowolf or Brigid, too. Just one of them is all I ask!

Notice how the previous FE4 characters were included in pairs. We first saw this with Seliph and Julia, followed by Eldigan and Lachesis. Most recently, it was Ares and Lene.

Going by this pattern, if Quan was to be included in this banner, this should guarantee Ethlyn as well. As for Lewyn, I somehow cannot see him included without his companion Erinys or Sylvia, but then again, they can pull an Ishtar with him, given that he is now the highest voted FE4 character from CYL2.

Assuming that this banner is going to be themed specifically around Verdane and the Jamke GHB, then the likely candidates would be those who participated in this campaign alongside Sigurd. If this banner concerns Gen 1 as a whole, however, then Lewyn should definitely be included.

Honestly, I would be really surprised if Quan and Ethlyn do not appear in it, especially Quan. For one, both of them accompanied Sigurd through Verdane and have joined since the prologue. Secondly, Quan's addition would introduce another holy weapon to FEH, and Genealogy still lacks a lance representative (not counting Finn since he's listed as a Thracia 776 character). Finally, Sigurd and Eldigan, who are both lifelong friends of Quan, are already in, including his son, Leif, and his retainer, Finn.

My final predictions are as follows:

Quan, Ethlyn, Azelle or Lex, some alt.

Quan, Ethlyn, Lewyn, some alt.
