Opinion on the latest Legendary Banner, Who do you think i should get, who are you getting?

Personally i don't really understand the Salt/Hate towards Lucina being a legendary hero. I was kinda dissapointed that it was a lucina then again though she haven't got an Alt this year and with her popularity it would make sense for her to get an alt and from what i heard she can actually be a Bow user in the awakening game.

That being said her Skill set is amazing. She's definately a good Player Phase Bow, Her Bow gives her Spd +3 which is always great to have and her additional ability to get +4 on all Stats except Hp when she attacks a unit with Sword, Lance, Axe, Dragonstone with them.

There's also Future Vision. If this thing is inheritable then the armor emblem meta just got much more stronger. The effect itself is amazing it's a Swap with a self dance to the unit which make maneuvering much more easier.

Then Finally Distant Guard 3. In my Opinion i see this a huge skill for supports to enemy phase units cause a Drive version of Distant Guard 2 is practically a very powerful skill that will probably seen alot in Arena.

The Banner itself though is admittedly a bit lack luster for me. As i don't know which to get.
Red has Legendary Ryoma, New Years Camilla, and Exalt Chrom
Blue has Legendary Lucina, Azura, and Ishtar
Green has Legendary Lyn, Valentine Lilina, and Winter Lissa
Colorless has Legendary Robin, Brave Lyn and Bow Hinoka.

Personally the only thing that's worth pulling is the Blue for everyone there except Azura, Green For Winter Lissa and that's it. Do you think there's someone else in this banner that i haven't mention that i should get in this banner?.

Finally the Last thing i want to say. This Legendary banner for some people considers this the worse banner in the series, even worse than the Ayra's Introduction banner. I want to know why people would think that.

There is no way Future Vision is inheritable. If Bushido from L!Ryoma wasn't inheritable... I suspect if it was inheritable there would likely be a significant amount of Rage-quit, granted that would be from mostly f2p players, but still. I myself couldn't give a crap about T20 (for 1 I don't have the merges, and 2 Arena score system is a joke - BST and Skill SP* cost shouldn't have any weight).

I'll hit Blue up a bit (don't have any of the units and I need more Catria's) and Red (asside from Lucina, Ryoma is the only Legendary I don't have), but not spending too many orbs regardless of what I get.

*Skill level is fine (Fury 3 has a higher weight than Fury 2)

I'm fairly certain this banner is a skip for me, but I will definitely pull for Lucina when she is rerun, hopefully with better shared units as potential pity breakers. Future Vision is almost certainly locked to Lucina, much like Sacrifice is exclusive to Micaiah - which actually bodes well for Lucina in terms of scoring. She'll definitely be the best scoring Wind hero thus far.

Apart from red, I think most people see the color pools having poor pitybreakers, thus the negativity surrounding the banner.

Also as an aside, the salt surrounding introductory Ayra banner was so overblown. Sharing a color with a unit doesn't actually reduce your chances of pulling that unit. Much more important is the number of focus units, which that banner only had 3. It was actually one of the best chances of getting her when you look at from a probability perspective - ha.

I dont think i agree on the ayra banner, having to share a color does reduce your chances, since you have 50% of the chance indicated in the banner, unless you are fine with both units in that color of course.
Also, the problem wasnt just that it shared a color with eldigan, but that 2 days before that there was a fe4 banner and ayra wasn't included in it, but was included in the TT banner, which made no sense besides being a cash grab tactic.

Personally, this banners speaks for itself lol. It's kind of filled with specific niche-units that you'll either use for pitybreaker reasons or fodder (Save for Ryoma, Robin, Ishtar, WL!Hinoka and B!Lyn for PvE purposes).
The new Lucina's skillset is pretty good for a unit, but then again, we're in a meta where if it's not an armor, you're screwed. Her blue affinity makes it even harder though. I don't really think Future Vision will be inheritable since it associates very clearly with Lucina's origins. Distant Guard might be a good reason to take her alone. I personally think this skill is kind of okay on its own, but combined with others it could be really great. Take my case, for example. I own an Innes with a Guard Bow (+Eff) with 2 DDs included in A and S. With the new distant guard I could crank those def and res up to a whopping +22/+22 against ranged units, but again, that's just me.
In the end, whether you want to pull it or not is based on personal preference. Yes, I know that 8% is totally all the other 5*s are set to 0%, but units like L!Robin and L!Ryoma could only be summoned in these kind of "screw your money" banners. It might be the worst for some people, but some people need some of the units too.

I don't really get it either, but Legendary Lucina is definitely a very promising unit with good offensive traits.

Wouldn't say she's broken in any way, but just another Legendary Hero for my collection.

I will primarily aim for Blue as I would like some Odd Atk Wave fodder, unless Ishtar comes with really good set of IV's. And I wouldn't mind having any Azura I get along the way. But the true target would be none other than Legendary Lucina.

Secondary color will most likely be Red as I am still in the process of making an Ares merge project and hoping to get a +ATK Legendary Ryoma. This is my least priority, but it would be nice to have.

This banner is like one hero away from being great on every color.... except Red which is pretty solid....

Replace Azura with Nephenee for example and if you're going for Lucina and get pity broken... at least you get Odd Attack Wave/Swift Sparrow or Wrath if you don't want those characters.

Replace LA!Lilina with LA!Hector or Grima and green would be awesome... as long as you didn't have a L!Lyn or don't mind getting more copies for Speed Tactics or +10 merge.

Replace Brave Lyn with Takumi and you have awesome Close Counter fodder to go with Hinoka and F!Grima merges...

Close but not quite is the theme of this banner... I thought they would've brought it much harder so close to CYL2....
