New banners discussion

There are a lot of banners coming out soon, some really obvious and some not so much. Here’s a little analysis:
-Countering Skills - the options for this one are Hector, Takumi or any unit with B-slot countering skills like QR; I’m leaning more towards the second option
-Weapons to Refine - this is obviously Soren, Leo and Eirika, so that’s that
-Heroes with Miracle - I’m really hoping it’s Sigurd and Delthea; the other one is a healer
-Cooldown Bonuses - Slaying weapons or maybe cooldown skills, maybe a mix of both (a chance of seeing B!Ike again maybe?)
-New Heroes - we already know it’s Thracia
-The first BHB - Chrom, Lissa and I think the third one would be Frederick, seems the most fitting
-The second BHB - Nowi, Tiki, the third one is a mystery; will they throw in another Awakening character or another dragon? Pretty sure it’s the first option
-Special Heroes - a seasonal, most likely spring or Easter themed, although an April Fools one would be more fun
I’ll do a legendary banner prediction soon as well, I think I already wrote a lot here lol. That’s it for now!

I don't remember the date when the spring banner came out but Most likely the last banner(the longest) will be the spring banner but I don't think that they will re-release the old spring units and they will release new spring units.

Dunno maybe i'm overthinking things.

Could be a new wave of Spring units; could be the old ones rotating through again; we just don't know. However, I just want to highlight a comment in the update; something we coined onto with the Falchion.

Colorless Dragon is a thing that is coming. Theoretically, that could be argued as evidence for a new set of seasonals, or perhaps the legendary. If it's the legendary, I'm hoping that it's either a unique unit for Heroes (unique manakete? Yes please!), or a dragon from the Tellius games. (Or Naga/Mila, that would also be cool).

If it's a seasonal unit, though, imagine Nils; the colorless dragon dancer, the minstrel of springtime.

Imagine how frustrating a colorless dragon dancer would be. How tricky it theoretically could be to fight with how Dragon weapons refine. Imagine this theoretical Nils in a Dragon Emblem team. This is both something that would be epic and frustrating as all hell.

Gut feeling on the Cooldown Bonuses is that it's going to be a mix of both, which means Ike, B!Ike, Mia and Nephenee are all possible options.

BHB suggestions are probably correct.

Heroes with Miracle is probably just that; I don't think there's any other combat units that come with the skill; so that leaves Mist, Lucius and Maria.

Countering skills... that's hard to know which ones they'll choose. Blue Tomebreaker is unattainable in the summoning pool; Swordbreaker, Bowbreaker and Lancebreaker are rotated through on the 4* & 5* banner regularly... it's hard to say. Countering skills could be Distant, Close and Lightning Breath; but that's unlikely. This is the banner that's got me stumped.

One thing I’m sure about: I would sell a kidney for best cinnamon roll boy Nils. And cry because he’s so precious and I love him.
I’m really hoping Saber is going to be in the cooldown banner. We haven’t seen him since his release (? Maybe he was in a skill banner that I forgot) and it’s such a pain to use 20k feathers just for a Slaying Edge.

When I first saw the colorless dragon symbol my mind instantly thought of Kurthnaga in Radiant Dawn. Maybe it's just me, but colorless dragon just seems like the most fitting thing for Kurth should we be graced by his inclusion into Heroes. And I could see it Nils maybe being colorless but at the same time should Nils make it into the game I could also see him as a blue dragon, because Ninian was a blue dragon.
And countering skills certainly might be the biggest mystery for what it might entail but at least we won't have to wait very long to see what it gives us.
