What do you think?

Kaden, Keaton, Selkie, Velouria, etc...

Is the main reason we haven't gotten these kinds of units yet because they need time to create the new attacking sprites and their info? I don't think I've ever seen a sprite attack like a wolfskin or nine-tailed fox does before.

If they were to come out with the new units what would their color even be classified as?

They couldn't be classified as bows or daggers or axes, etc...

Do they have to come out with a new class or give them a breath (even though that's for dragons)?

But maybe it's taking a long time because with the way they've built the app, adding a class could take a long time and bring a lot of bugs.

These are the things that keep me up at night.

I think they will give them a new class.
Maybe the wolfs and beasts (lions, cats etc) are weak to anti-cavalry weapons.
And flier beasts are weak to archers (similar to flier heroes).
The questions is, will they always be on their beast form or its changeable?

I feel for the sake of 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑔 they will do sort of like dragons do and change them.

Probs changeable similar to kitsune and wolfskin in fates for example. They could have unique specials linked to certain stuff tho. Like i could see reyson having no weapon except one that heals allies every turn like a staff that cant attack, while also having sing, and a special that makes him able to dance for multiple allies at once to make up for his inability to attack while referencing his abilities

I'm sure they can figure it out, if they want to put them in the game. It's not like anything we come up with is what they'll use, even if the idea is brilliant and perfect, so why worry over it.

I do hope they'll introduce beast units at some point. I'd love to see Kaden, Keaton, and Yarne especially.

I'd hope they'd work the same as dragons, different colours but the (physical damage) weapons inheritable between them all. This would also mean they'd be human form on the map, only changing to beast form to attack. I'd also like them to keep Beastbane as a feature of all their weapons so they have 'effective against cavalry and beast'.

Given Selkie was 21st in CLY2, Keaton at 34th, Panne 44th Kaden at 46th and Velouria at 54, Tibarn at 58th, they're the only characters in the top 60 not yet in the game. Selkie even beat Kliff and Owain so they'd better bring the beasts in at some point.

I want to know if the units will have bonus damage against their type (i.e.) Do wolfskins and taguals get bonus damage to cavalry units and other beast users akin to how the falchion breaths work. How will we calculate these weaknesses and will we have different types for the different types of laguz, like white be haron and red be raven?

-R

Well you see, flying laguz such as hawks and ravens would most likely be blue due to natural weakness to wind magic, dragons with a few exceptions red due to weakness to lightning magic, and green for beasts due to weakness to fire magic.
However, non laguz beast units and a couple laguz could break this rule easily. Like wolfskin could be red and kitsune blue etc. Also royal laguz could break the rule as could reyson and Nasir. Nasir is a white dragon and reyson is a heron laguz. So they could be different colors, including colorless.

Its... More of the fact that beast units for the longest time were considered unpopular and hated, thanks to a vocal minority of the japanese and international fanbase. You know, the people who hate change? But hopefully the high placing of many beast units will convince IS to change their tune. Especially with how unique some could be like Reyson, Naesala, and the kitsune who took the trope of beast units having low res and twisted it on its head.

I imagine it's a combination of implementation and waiting on a major update to add them since they'd be a huge addition.

Take Dragons for example. Comparing them to Beasts, playable Dragons have been largely the same throughout the series. Beasts, however, have had many variations between games, and some had multiple variations in a single game.

That is the main reason I would assume they haven't added them yet. As this would take a lot of work, that would mean taking a lot of time to develop them. So in the meantime, they've been giving us smaller stuff to hold us over. The upcoming update for 3.0, presumably in early December, would be a perfect time to announce them. Unfortunately, this is still only speculation, so it's anyone's guess at the moment.
