Let's not be crazy, new staff units would be totally outlandish! Now, Taguel, however, would fit right in.
Sadly I looked at both Panne and Yarne's art and they don't fit those silhouettes at all.
Reddit is suggesting the one on the right could be Felicia dropping the egg. I could see this (and at the very least, I'm pretty positive the figure is dropping the egg as it has little tatters around it to indicate it's a "damaged" pose). The little bits of up-turned hair (presumably hair) on the right don't quite match though, so I'm not positive. The figure definitely seems to have a thick ponytail though.
I was going through my catalog of heroes to try and match them up to anyone and weirdly the one on the left *could* be Alm. It also matches extremely well with Morgan though that seems really unlikely since we *just* got him. I was hoping to find someone with that little tuft of hair sticking up and there surprisingly aren't that many characters that look like that. Leo could be another option if he's facing a different way from his other art.
Nah it's only one ponytail in the back, not two. I'm actually thinking the Felicia guess is probably correct there. IIRC she has a tendency to be clumsy too which would fit that pose as well.
It also just occurred to me that the last Spring banner had mixed games on it. They tend to stick to one game for seasonal banners but not always. So that makes me actually think Felicia even more since I feel like the one on the left probably isn't from Fates...
The egg isn't necessarily dropped. The eggs can float in the attack pose, see S!Camilla.
It's more the position of the hand to me. It's facing upwards with the egg tipping down as if it's about to fall. With Camilla's pose she's sort of holding it firm in front of her like a big blast, even if the egg is floating a bit.
In any case, as I said, there are little cloth tatters which suggests to me this is likely a damaged pose. I can't think of any characters who might have them otherwise
After what happened last legendary banner, my 131 orbs right now don't feel like a lot at all. I'm 95% sure the Easter banner will be a hard pass for me, so hopefully I'll have 200 or 250 by month's end.

Seasonal units are generally horrible investments unless you intend to use them for some amazing skill inherit, which is extremely rare, especially since a lot of their weapons are pretty iffy. Save yer orbs, most likely.

Yeah, my wallet is hurting bad from that last legendary banner. I'm scared if any of the other ones have something I really want. Luckily barring a new hero, I think this next one has nothing I need. Unless they put like Sonya or something on it (I need more Sonyas to merge).
I am gonna pull on this easter one but I hope I get everything quick at least...

So after spending like an hour and a half ruminating over the decision, I went ahead and promoted Frederick. I figured another good green axe would be helpful in Arena Assault. I feel like this is just gonna get harder and harder to choose though :P
I was gonna go Wrys before I kind of realized his recommended bane of ATK is going to gimp the hell out of his healing. Since all the Heal+ abilities are based on the healer's attack stat, his default one isn't going to work all that good. I feel like none of the build guides were ever updated for the healers after they were buffed last fall. -_- Now I'm not sure if I should change the IVs I have prepared... if I haven't already thrown away an ideal IV in the mean time... hmmm
Edit: Yeah, I did the math. Wrys's Rehabilitate+ is literally pointless. At 5* a -ATK Wrys has 21 attack. Rehabilitate+ is "50% of ATK-10", or in this case, 50% of 11, which I assume rounds down to 5. It can't go below 7hp so he just heals for the same amount as Rehabilitate not-plus. That's beyond worthless (granted he can get buffs and stuff, but seriously...). Honestly even neutral attack is terrible for him - he only heals for 7 which is the same thing. And I sure as hell wouldn't want to give him an attack boon just for +2 healing. Bah.
Makes me question the healing tier lists because they all list him reasonably high and Lissa at the very bottom. But Lissa has a pretty ok attack stat, especially with Wrathful Staff refine...

Three of my best all-purpose units, that I use constantly, are seasonal units. (Bridelia, S!Corrin, W!Tharja)
I mean, if your goal is to get a +10 version, then no, but otherwise there have been some pretty strong ones.
For business reasons, I must preserve the outward sign of sanity.

I mean, other than Genny and the horse healers, they're not exactly meta relevant
No of course not, but they are relevant for Arena Assault and single player content (GHB, BHB, etc). That's one of the main reasons I'm trying to diversify my healer pool a bit. I just promoted Sakura recently since she has Physic+ by default which has basically become the best heal (and my only other Physic healers were Genny and Lachesis). Wrys has an interesting niche in having insanely high HP and RES which could come in handy for particularly nasty GHBs and the like. That's kind of one of my goals at the moment, to try and cover defense spreads for my colors. There are times where having a unit that can shrug off physical or magical attacks, or even both fairly evenly, is extremely useful (this is vs. some of the units that tend to have middling defensive stats in the 15-20s range).
Of course, I'm also just trying to get all the 5* level 40 conversations :P Gotta catch em all

I wonder if Kagero can inherit her own dagger. I'm just imaging something as terrifying as Kagero's infantry effectiveness with flying mobility and potentially power creep... (granted she is weak to bows now)

Well, Iote's Shield is on a seal now, so... not so much?
And I'm sure she can inherit poison dagger, it's completely generic.
Surprised we got flying daggers before bow though!
Edit: This does work pretty good. It's kind of random how much of the objectives you actually complete per run, but it doesn't cost stamina. I imagine I could make a custom squad with a bunch of the weapon types I need to focus on to push some of the others further along the way.
Does anyone else find it weird that catria is on a horse and not a Pegasus?
I thought the same thing to be honest :P
Anyways, 5080 arena score. I think this might be my highest one so far. Managed to get a deathless run first try which is always nice. Only a little dueling crest scumming to weed out anything below 722 (which luckily wasn't too many this time). I think the extra merge I got recently on my Sonya might have helped, even though arena score calculator says it shouldn't have bumped me up a score bracket. Still, it'd be nice to get Sonya on a banner again so I can just spend my way to a +10 finally :P
Still no defensive wins. I honestly didn't get that many last time so I'm changing my team up. Sorry NY!Azura, I'm gonna try replacing you with Legendary Ephraim and see if that helps. I swapped out Halloween Nowi for Summer Corrin who has more merges on her too, though I lose out on the Grimoire utility. I'm thinking though that right now my issue is with ranking - NY!Azura has a lot fewer merges to her so my "score" dropped this season (over Grima Robin last season which I'm sure boosted it). So I think I'm getting fewer people who are willing to surrender for one dead hero. Fingers crossed I guess.
Welp, I tried doing a different thing and pulling for a character I like rather than one that's actually good, and all I've got to show for it is a 4.5% pity rate on the Morgan banner. Will ride out the sunk cost fallacy to it's inevitably disappointing conclusion then take a break from summoning I think.

Catria being on a nonflying horse is kinda weird tbh. I know they wanna make them different from their normal versions, but I feel like the weapon change was enough. Still, though, if she was a flier, I would have thrown so many orbs at her, so it's probably better for me this way. Especially since between L'Arachel, Olwen, and The Reinhardt, there's no shortage of blue horse mages. She is cute, though...
Oh hey, opened my free orb on the weapon refinery banner and, a second Leo! Sweet! ...QR3 fodder!

My free orb was a 3* Hana. Haha, oh well. Not throwing any orbs at this banner (I would have liked another Eirika to merge though)
3 star Gunter, king of kings. Already had all 3 focus though, so...

I was doing some barracks cleaning in preparation for tonight's summoning and managed to get myself back up to 20k feathers. Lord help me, what have I done?
To be fair, I do have a reason for this... One of the main reasons Raigh is so mediocre (other than his middling stat line) is the lack of green calvary in the game to make his tome useful. But we're about to get a new one. I expect Alfonse to be all over arena next week as probably a bonus hero, so here's a counter for him for Arena Assault... (You know, and Frederick and Titania and Cecilia and Gunnthra). Plus, I did the math and this weekend lines up with Magic and Bow training meaning it's a good time to level a mage during double SP weekend
(Also, honestly, this is what I love about my 4* project. I want to use all these weirdo heroes that no one ever uses. There is something fun about it )

See: Counters banner. All 3 are damaged. Not sure if they ever introduced characters that way though!
Halloween Henry is clearly in his damaged pose
This looks like Lissa's damaged pose too
