Was 4* H Henry confirmed to be a mistake?

Mistake as in never gonna happen, or mistake as in early release? I tend to think the later because why else would a dev have him as a 4*?

Thoughts, or confirmations I may have missed? (With or without source)

omg, way to call to a throwback.

It was a mistake, its been two years now and we dont have a single seasonal as 4*. its possible this might change in the future, but it was a mistake.

No need to trigger my brother! I keep hearing that but haven’t heard where the source is. Obviously we all saw the picture of it, and there was a reason it was made that way. The only mistake I know of for sure is how they released the pic. Whether or not it happens remains to be seen, but I am skeptic when people say it is 100% not going to happen.

Well, I believe there was never anything said about it.
He was still there on the corrected version, I believe

I think it's very unlikely they'll ever demote seasonals when they can still make money off of them (I'd expect the first year's seasonals to re-run again this year, maybe in banners with more generous rates to entice people to spend on units with lower BST, etc.) but many of them still have incredibly rare skills and top-tier art. Summer Tiki (adult) for example, is the only unit with Axe Valor while, say, Halloween Nowi has both Atk/Res Bond 3 and Hone Fliers.

Also, you can very easily find 3* and 4* versions of the seasonals in-game if you try a paralogue on Easy or Hard mode. It's likely whoever was creating the screenshot on IS / Nintendo's end just filled up the brigade without realizing what units they were using.

Now that last part makes the most sense... a dev could’ve grabbed a 4* version from the battle. Good call.

Yeah I figured it isn’t likely, but they could do a grail version of seasonal if they find a way to make money off of it.

I do expect them to make an update about it.

I figure they eventially don't want to bother with rerunning all the old seasonals.
So they might just find a way to 'purge' them

If that means 'find some way to give em like they did with grail units' or 'Just ignore they existed at one point'
I do not know

If I were IS, to make money I would either 1) do a grail like system at 4*, or 2) improve them up with skills, ie give H Henry an opportunity for A Skill if Brazen Atk/Res or something new, to make them more attractive.

I think it's more likely that once we hit a 3rd set of seasonals that they demote year 1 seasonals for that season's banner only e.g. year 1 halloween units at 4* in the year 3 halloween banner.

Would cause more people to pull for exclusive 4* units. This seems to work in other gatcha games, so I don't see why it wouldn't work here.

Misstake as it shouldn't have happened and we shouldn't read too much into it.

We learnt from hackers, way back when the game came out, that the code allows for any unit to be created from thin air. You just needed to imput some numbers into the code and the chosen unit would appear in your inventory at the rarity and IVs you asked for.

The system makes sense from a devs point of view, as why should them have to go through the gachas RNG to get the units they want to test?

What probably happened is that the dev in charge of the Sharena blog created Henry (and the rest of his box) this way but forgot he was a 5* exclusive when imputing the rarity.

The old seasonals are mostly bad. I just want Summer Gaius back because I foddered him, and his incomplete HM triggers the completionist portion of my brain.
