These Summer units are pretty disappointing

For me, at least. Like, if you want them, more power to you. I get we shouldn't judge them yet, we have to wait on their stats for that. But really? All the weapons have a spectrum effect (I mistakenly said an owl effect before). Which while not bad in itself, I doesn't interest me that much. And not many skills interest me, save Infantry Rush and potentially Push. But then again, you have to go through Colorless Hell to get IR and take a chance with reds for Push. And I have too many reds and I don't feel like doing Colorless Hell, so I shouldn't even bother.
Everything other skill is kinda 'meh' to me. I don't particularly like feint skills, a bit too niche for me. And the weapons kinda interest me but not really unless I have a unit I want with said weapon.
Idk, I think I'm gonna pass on this banner. For now at least, it'll be here for a month so we got time to summon on it.

Seems like everybody is either underwhelmed when non-meta changing units are released, while people are upset when some broken unit is on a limited banner...you just can't win.

Aren't the weapons just spectrum blow weapons (not owl)? I thought they gave +2 to all stats when initiating.

And Push is on Tana, which is in the red pool.

Infantry Rush and Def Feint are the two skills that interest me the most, but I think I'm going to continue saving for a legendary banner. I think Legendary heroes are better long term investments anyways.

Good luck if you choose to summon!

Wow I got a lot wrong xD
I'm gonna have to do an edit. Thanks for correcting me. I can't always get things right

The units don't have an owl effect, they get +2 everything if they initiate combat which is pretty good. We'll see if that beats Slaying weapons. I'm hoping Cordelia is a fast player phase mounted lance as that's not something I have and Noire's Infantry Rush could be fun. Love both characters so would want them anyway.

They will probably keep Cordelia's regular offensive spread, which is 35/35 (flying and bow Cordelia have that). That would make her a really good player phase lancer.

I really hope you're right. She's too cute not to be used.

OK so first of all only three of the weapons have the same effect and it is'nt owl effect it's Spectrum Blow( it's what people call it).

Well disappointing or not they ARE for fanservivce so there Main purpose is to just to make fans die of dehydration and NUT.

I like Spectrum Blow, sounds like a name of some obscure punk/rock band from the 90's.

Several comments:

1. Some of the replies in this thread are hilarious.

2. Need to defend colorless a bit here. Colorless hell was a thing once, but healers have been capable of such incredible suppression ever since weapon refinery that this is much less the case. Plus you have units like Sothe, Kaze, Legault, Hinoka added to the pool now. Granted they can't run bold fighter and they're ranged which generally means lower stats, but still. Also close counter fodder. It's really no worse IMO than pulling your 400th 3* Florina, or Barst, or Sophia.

3. I'm saving all my orbs for the Hector BHB. Nearly have my first 40+10 built but he needs DC. Along with about 50 other units I'm building lol.

4. I think this banner looks good but I would care more if I had played sacred stones. Noire is... wow.

5. Push is incredibly good. Compare Celica's Ragnarok.

Yeah, kinda? But last years summer units wasn’t anything too crazy either. Only units like S!Corrin really stood out.

All in all though, it’s probably the most fanservicey banner of the year. And people will pull for their favorites regardless.

I accually think they did pretty well with the new skills.
You can do some new stuff with them, but none are meta overturning. Which is a good thing, it keeps things stable.

The only big problem I have is that I'd have liked for Noire to be an colored archers. It's kinda wierd there's nothing done with it.
Small personal problem is that I don't care about Noire as a character, and that I'm lukewarm about yet another Cordelia.

Big fan of Sacred Stones, so I welcome Tana and Innes with open arms. Kinda like that Innes rides a serpent wyvern. (and fitting, his bow Nidhogg is named after a norse dragon-snake)

Also, remember that a units stats is most of their usefulness. So we don't know how strong these heroes are.

Exactly. Why would they open up the colored bow category and then add only one (legendary) hero into it, so far? Seems like a huge waste of potential, because having a color would make Noire actually somewhat interesting. I seriously hope that the colored bow category won't be reserved just for legendary heroes, because that would be just pathetic.

They should've just made a banner with archers from a few different games some time after Legendary Lyn was released.
My bet is that the next colored bow unit is going to be one of the CYL units.
Red bow Celica with flaming arrows sounds amazing.

Its TANA, and INNES
TANA and INNES from FIRE EMBLEM THE SACRED STONES.
Who care about skills? Who care about stat bases?

I WANNA MY FE8 CHARACTERS! I would fucking change all my legendaries units and non-fe8 characters for a single Myrrh or Amelia.

And I thought I was happy with Tana and Innes.

Here's to hoping Innes has a nice statline.
