Units to downgrade from 5*
We got some units downgraded but as more units get introduced, the 5* is getting larger and larger while the 3* star remains untouched. I'm wondering what units need to be downgraded possibly due to age or some skill that seldom people use. Asking for fun and to know everyone's thoughts.

They need to demote Saber (Shield Pulse 3), Luke (Fire Boost 3), Leo (Savage Blow 3) off the top of my head. Will add more as I go through my catalog.
EDIT: Gray (Wind Boost 3), Minerva (Life and Death 3), Linde (Fortify Res 3), Katarina (Atk Ploy 3), Faye (Wings of Mercy 3), Olwen (Ward Cavalry), Lyn (Defiant Atk 3), Lucina (Spur Atk 3), Innes (Fortress Res 3), Mist (Spur Def/Res 2), Karel (Desperation 3), Julia (Breath of Life 3), Azura (Speed +3), Rhajat (Savage Blow 3), and Ninian (Escape Route 3)
EDIT 2: Added which skills they could give at 4*

If they get demoted, the farthest I can see them going is into the 4-5 star pool, though 3-4 would be a blessing.

Getting more Faye would definitely be helpful as a source for her bow, which I'd like to give to a couple other of my units. I actually got a spare one of her a long time ago and immediately merged her; regretting that now, since I don't use her hardly at all and would have liked her bow on someone else.

Mist, Elise, Og Ephraim, Lene, Sanaki, Hinoka, Sonya, (F)kana, Jaffar, Julia, Gray, Karel, Og Lyn, Innes, Luke
These are units that have no reason to be in the 5-Star pool, mostly because they are not really that good of units and If I would be generally disappointed if I drew any of these guys, like when has anyone ever wanted Luke

This a quick side question that I don't feel is big enough for its own thread, but should there a 4-star character for each seasonal re-run?
here's a few from me
Spring Chrom
Bride Charlette
Summer Fredrick
Summer Elise or Leo
Performing Olivia
Halloween Sakura
Winter Robin
Ney Year Takumi or Camilla

Soooo many. Alm (please), Saber, Sonya, Gray, Lene (may as well but probably not), Faye, Katarina, Luke (lol), Eldigan (the better version of him is 4 star), Lyn, Ryoma, Jaffar, Amelia (or run her on a banner), Ike, Mist, Ephraim, Rhajat, Julia, Deirdre, Hinoka, Leo, Siegbert, Shiro
All of the TT reward units should be added to the regular pool or at least the five star pool.

I don't mind the 5 star pool being cluttered due to focus. I find the 3-4 star pool being cluttered harder to deal with because of merges. Also most of them have decent fodder so it's never gonna be THAT bad. We have BK, Joshua, Tobin. Wouldn't mind getting any of them,

Normal Olwen honestly needs to be downgraded to 3-4*, I've honestly never seen anyone use her, and Reinhardt just out shines her so much mainly do to being in the 3-4* but also because he's just good. Now some other units I'd like to see get demoted, Gray, Saber, F.Kana (only cuz I really want to build her), I wouldn't mind if normal Ike got demoted since his Legendary vr. out class' him, Faye should honestly be demoted the other 2 Firesweep weapons are in the 4* poll so why not her, I think normal Hinoka should get demoted as well theirs far better Fling Lance units and we really need a Hone Flier unit in the 4* poll armor and Cav both have Hone for them in the 3-4* If I'm not mistaken so why the fuck is Hone Flier still 5* locked it's not like Fliers are really that op.
Honestly theirs a lot more units that should get demoted, some because I honestly feel like they should not be locked behind 5*, some because I want to build them, some because it would give easier access to skill's
And one more thing, IS, WHY THE FUCK IS GUARD STILL A 5* EXCLUSIVE SKILL, that shit needs to be on a unit at 4* already fuck we even got L&D at 4* before that did and L&D is used way more, then again that's probably the reason why it's used more

Yah but the skill still got powercreeped hardcore for Armored units, Also we have 8 units that have the skill 1 ghb, 2 being seasonals, 3 5* exclusive in the poll, then their's Leon and Titania, that doesn't help anyone since people would rather use their feathers on merges and not on a skill. Yah I mean there are those few skills on 3-4* units that are 5* locked -caugh- QR3 -caugh- but they are probably used more often than Guard

Anyone pre-CYL 1 banner deserves to be lowered already imo. Maybe even Elincia and Nephenee too since Oscar is summonabe at 3 stars (and I would like to easily obtain a better IV Elincia haha).
That being said, IS wouldn’t wanna lower Hector at all, and maybe not even Ike and Ryoma either thanks to their DC weapons. But normal Ike is one of the worst pitybreakers at this point since his legendary form is literally a better version of him AND was given out for free!
