Potential 5* Demotions

Looking at the 5 star pool, anyone have any units that could be demoted to the 3-4 star pool? I'm seeing units like Karel, Mist, Eldigan, Leo, Luke, Azura, etc. who have skills that are not worth keeping them as 5 star exclusive units anymore, or aren't worth being 5 star exclusive because there are other units out that do their job better. Would like to see what units people think have the best chance of being taken out of being exclusive.

Faye, lol. Aside from the Firsweep Bow, there's nothing.
Plus I might actually +10 her.

I'm hoping Leo does get demoted. I think we need Quick Ripose 3 in the 4 star pool.

Me too. I like him as a character, and I haven't been able to pull him yet, so being able to get him at 4-star would be great.

Only problem is, does his data say that he gives Quick Riposte at 4 star?

Sumia should have been demoted along with Libra when her banner ended, her only really unique thing is her weapon, and you need to have her at 5 stars to get the best version of it anyway. Also Amelia, we need easier access to armor movement buffs.

I'm so going to merge up Eldigan and Karel if they're demoted.

I went and looked over how filled with bad 5* only units some pools are.
Green is almost devoid of bad ones. The worst are Deirdre, Julia and Rhajat. And they're pretty good.
Blue isn't bad either, when Shiro and Quan are among your 'worst'. It does have the problem of Olwen though.
Colorless is somewhat worse with Mist, Jaffar and Faye.
And then Red.. Oooh boy.

I'm just trying to think of the units who have skills that absolutely NOBODY is aiming for for inheritance, because I think they would be the first to get demoted. Also, anyone who has a premium skill that's now in the 4 star pool (Jaffar, because Life and Death on Sothe at 4 star, for example), or anyone who has a weapon type that's also available in the 4 star pool (Faye, because Firesweep Sword and Lance are at 4 star). I still see some 5 star units being worthy of 5 star, mainly because they have a premium skill that will NEVER be demoted to 4 star any time soon, or they have a Valor skill (because Mila forbid IS wants us to get 24 SP per kill on double SP weekends).

Only thing is, that's way too many units and I don't remember them all XD I would need time to look through everyone.

Some I could see getting demoted with version 3:

Luke
Saber
Mist
Takumi
Faye
Grey
Leo
Jaffar
Deirdre
Julia
Lyn (original)

Im gonna make the large list of everyone I think should be demoted so I can go back to it to reuse it. Note, the criteria for this list are characters that they no longer plan to make money off of, meaning they don't run them anymore. Another bonus is based on how much they were powercrept. The only reason I can see them not demoting these is because of their skills.

Alm
Elincia (6 months)
Gray
Ike
Lyn
Luke
Saber
Leo
Ephraim
Hinoka
Tana
Lute
Amelia
Minerva
Deirdre
Julia
Faye
Jaffar
Mist
Elise
bonus: Takumi/Hector (unsure)

So basically any 5 star unit within the same range as the units they demoted last time, that don't have any premium skills/are still amazing units?
