My Opinion (Long Description!)

This banner is... interesting. Everyone seems to have their own unique weapon instead of sharing a skill (eg. In the Hoshidan Summer banner everyone has Hardy Bearing 3 on their weapons and a type of effectiveness like ‘effective against dragons’ or something)

That’s not the only interesting thing though- there are quite a lot of new skills! Very nice ones too! Def/Res bond is very good, Solo Atk/Def is cool and Atk opening is also quite interesting!

Everyone is armored again (no surprise) but hey, I’m not complaining! That just means we can give them armored bonuses MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
(But I guess Ephraim would prefer tactic skills XD)

And the best thing about the banner is... *drumroll*...
NO FATES/AWAKENING! IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU IS! THANK YOU!!!

Anyways, here is who I’m going to try and get/avoid-

Fae- As adorable and awesome she looks... I’m going to try and avoid her. Hate me all you want but I have enough green dragons, including Fallen Robin but I may change my mind once I see stats...

Ephraim- SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
I’m going for Ephraim. He seems to be an interesting unit to use and it’s EPHRAIM! So yeah.

Erika- I will definitely aim for her too but Ephraim will be my top priority. She seems like a very nice unit to have but I think I may need to change some of her skills. Instead of Restore I’m giving her Physic since she’s armored and can only move 1 space and physic will let her recover hp to distant allies. I might change her C skill to Fortify/Hone Armor. I might also change Dazzling Staff to Wings of Mercy but I’ll probably keep that skill so that she can have Razzle Dazzle (is that what it’s called...?) if we can refine her weapon.

Cecilia- I’m kinda hoping she’s armored... Wait! Now that we have a free flying dagger, we can now get a free armored (hopefully) dagger! Yay! I’m happy to see Cecilia get an alt too!

So yeah that’s my opinion. Sorry for the long rant.

I'm also pleased that Cecilia receives an alt, and Fae. Nice to have units other than the ones that always get all the alts

I think I disagree with like 90% of your unit analysis though lol
If you want to read I offered my analyses in a separate thread

The biggest 'problem' is Ephraim.
He can't work like a normal armored unit, not with his base kit.

But with the right team support he can be a tank who makes use out of 'air support'
Unit that are more mobile and provide support, damage and resposition fun stuff.

And maybe he can use shove/smite to push away allies that get to him for support (like WoM healers).

But he won't be all that great in a normal armor team

He was meant to go with Eirika. She gives +5 Def/Res and +6 Atk to him with her base kit effects which is why its map wide. Niche but what can you do

That is what it seems.
While Eirika is good for it, I don't see opening skills to get any use. Especially if it's just on a seasonal unit.

It's a great skill for a seal or something, but C isn't the useless passive spot it used to be.

I’m thinking this as well. Here are my thoughts on each unit:

-Fae: My top priority. Her breath points to her being really tanky and I bet money she’s a 179 BST dragon. She can dump speed with vengeful and will be Halloween Myrrh but tankier. She also looks cute!

-Ephraim: How does my mans get TWO armor alts in the same year? His weapon is insane for soloing, his kit is amazing, and his stat spread seems to dump speed for that great attack and big D baby. If he’s 179 I’ll roll for him. If he’s 175, I have brave hector already so I’m good.

Eirika: Honestly pointless. Unless she extremely tanky or has good attack, there was no reason to put her in the game as a unit. Fighters don’t work well on healers, razzle dazzle does. Speed is the lifeblood of a healer and armors usually dump it and even worse: she can only move one space.

Priorities this Christmas:
1. Fae
2. Ephraim
3. Lissa
4. Tharja
5. Eirika (I wanna try her out a bit)

you can put boots on eirika.
and she wont lose it because of dazzle.
he can function as your 170BST healer infantry pretty much.
and we still dont know her stats, she might be like HNiles with million atk/speed and average defences.

Eirika is going to be a pretty good use of martyr+ and either wary fighter or WoM

Kinda nice to have a healer more foccused an aiding allies. I do hope her atk is very low.

not sure why would you remove dazzle for wary fighter.
martyr is a good choice for maintaining her boots, if she were get chipped by savage blow.

It may seem wierd, but you can dazzle refine her weapon.
If her atk is low she doesn't need the wrathful effect, and her weapon doesn't have any offence use anyway.

So using the B for survival or utility could make Eirika a great support focussed staff user.

It does depent on her stats though. A lot.

yes, but wary fighter is not a good option either imo.
it doesnt bring anything at all for her.
better use chill/wom/guard/CA, or even renewal/mystic boost might be a better option for her boots than wary fighter.
