Ross! One I've been waiting for. Too bad he doesn't have a prf, but a better chance of getting him is great. Hopefully he has a trainee boost and good stay spread.
Give it time, they seem to be giving everyone one eventually
Ross is a beast! 173 bst and 38 attack with a superboon. Might actually keep brave axe and do a deathblow build.
I can't seem to stop merging green units. Already have +10 Hawkeye, Soren, Titania... +8 Reyson... Enough copies of Raven to +10... Why not add Ross to the mix.

Wow Cormag comes with Dull Close at 4*. That's pretty dang nice. Also Def Opening at 5* which is still pretty rare (Picnic Genny and Hilda are the only ones).
I had a terribly low.orb stash but still used em cuz I love sacred stones. Still no Ross, Python, Bantu, or Valbar for me. No focus units either. But I did get something... -atk +hp Brave Eliwood??
Hmm. His swift Sparrow 3 was just too tasty to pass up for my +1 Legendary Alm. Made sure to level him and get dragon flowers first.

I keep forgetting the last batch of Brave heroes are in the general pool now :P For some reason my brain mixes them up with their legendary counterparts :P (especially with Eliwood and Alm having legendaries fairly recently)

You know, looking at this again, I'm gonna make a bold prediction. Next banner will be Tellius. You've got Haar GHB revival and Titania/Mist BHB revival coinciding with the release (you also have a heavy involvement with the Greil mercs in Gerik's forging bonds story). Could be coincidence but two Tellius events at the same time as a mystery banner? Plus it really feels like the last couple have been IS attempting to fill out some of the missing characters.
Possible subs - Ike/Soren dual hero (guessing they wouldn't do two in a month?), Ilyana (I'm only discounting her since they JUST did a seasonal of her)
Volke could maybe be subbed out for someone (he's not really a Greil merc but he is popular). Not sure. But I'm going for rounding out the Greil Mercenaries here. Jill is an exception because she's so effing popular. Rhys or Gatrie for the insta demote as two of the less popular picks IMO.
Edit: I suppose if you went the Dawn Brigade route Jill would fit, but then no one gives any shits about any of the Dawn Brigade besides Micaiah/Sothe :P You ain't selling banners on Leonardo and Edward (not to mention Meg.. Hahaha)
Edit 2: Also calling it now, Jill's weapon will have beast slaying Maybe the Laguz Lance... Or just the Wishblade with beast slaying added :P
More Tellius is always good. I have been so bad lately with orb discipline though. I should probably just save up for the inevitable next OP Ike instead of jumping at every shiny new banner.

Oh are we calling shots on the next banner? It will feature Jill... because it's Farfetch'd Heroes 3. We just finished the final chapter in Book 3, so the next banner needs to coincide with a paralogue, even though they're not seasonal. And the farfetched heroes banner always gets a paralogue.

I'm at 1600 Grails and 250k feathers. Waiting for that perfect free unit project to appear. So far have maxed BK and Naesala. Astram was tempting but he is still rocking faces at +1.

He is one of the few major villains that is still missing (along with miraculously Medeus... Like, how? And also most of the non-Grima Awakening villains... And I guess Anankos if anyone even cares :P)
Edit: I guess the villain of Radiant Dawn too (whom I will leave vague since I suppose it's a spoiler)

We've got Walhart and Aversa. That only leaves Gangrel, right?

And Validar.. Honestly Validar and Gangrel are probably the two biggest villains in the game other than Grima (who is honestly kinda absent for most of it still). So it's weird we didn't get them yet (Aversa makes sense cuz boobs, but surprised at Walhart)
Lost lore is such a snoozer. Imagine having more frequent and unrestricted Hall of Forms instead!

Lost Lore is honestly one of those things that should just always be active IMO. It's so passive that it doesn't deserve to be counted as an event :P Just have it change at the start of the month or something and then give people the month to get it done.
It's a cool mode in that it gives story, but it's a lame mode in that you don't actually *do* anything
Oh man, fuck me, I'm happy to be wrong here. I love me some Binding Blade! Echidna!!! Chad!!! Yasssssss
Are we literally only missing one dancer now? (Elffin). Unless Thracia has one, I dunno.
Also Brunnya TT+ hero. So are we just swapping GHB and TT at this point cuz you guys keep putting good guys in GHB and now you've got a bad guy in TT...

There's still one more Heron guy. I like Larum and kinda wish she were the demote.... but Echidna seems like the obvious candidate. I wish she had a PRF but I'd be happy to build her.
That lancer looks like the biggest bundle of OP skills in a long time. Sure why not slap guard on his Prf too! Guess you really have to go all out to differentiate yet another Lance cavalier.

There goes my prediction that the first playable red bow unit would be Shinon.
Wanted to pull the first full circle for this banner. What do you know, a red and a blue five star! Percival and Igrene, you ask? Well no, Lethe and Petra.
I'll take it, Petra is new to me. She even has +atk -res. Lethe is +res like my last one though, grr. Does anyone want spd/def solo? Seems an odd skill, though it works for Lethe.

Got an Igrene in my first summoning circle. Makes up for my terrible luck pulling for Tethys.
Xenologue 5
Looks like we won't be killing the gods quite yet, and Book IV will be about war with Svartelfheim.
Do skills and seals matter in Lost Lore strikes? I put Cherche +10 with Distant Counter and Iote's Shield in and she's getting smoked by a generic archer. I noticed you can't long-press on unit profiles to see their stats, so I think it might be straight up unit type (maybe level/stat?) comparisons.

I honestly have no idea. I have a feeling they don't though
The difference in my AR results between Astra and light seasons is hilariously large. In light I am coasting by with my Hawkeye/Lucina combo, rarely losing even a single unit on offense.
In Astra I get blasted regularly, lose most of my ladders day 1, and often see defenses and think "got no answer for this."
On the plus side, I've made myself a fearsome Astra defense. I am nowhere near good enough to beat it myself, and it just got 3 five kill victories in a row. Infantry pulse with Sylvia, LAzura, LAlm, Lilina, Ophelia, and Bike. Yup, the gang is all here.
I've gotten 2 -ATK Igrenes. +HP and +Res. No idea which to keep.
IMO +Res is probably better. More protection from magic users which a lot of ranged targets that can fight back tend to be. The only reason to maybe pick +HP I would think is if you planned on running panic ploy on her (which she could do, she has high HP, but not insanely high...).
I'm closing on 1m feathers again. I really need to find a promote project
I know I'm gonna work on Ross as I get more copies of him. IMO greens with armor slayer weapons are great merge projects too - pretty much always super useful in Arena Assault (fuck you legendary Tiki) and if they happen to come up in arena rotation (like Hawkeye recently) they kick butt :P
(edit: Really anyone with armor slaying weapons make great projects The armors like Sheena and Wendy are good choices too... find it handy to have a some high def/res tanks at times Just slap an armor slayer on them to make up for their shit attack stat :P )

I'd like to pull one more Ephraim to +1 him as well, but might as well wait on the first summon tickets from forging bonds.

Edit: Whoa, is that a second regular banner? Or did they stop calling seasonals "Special Heroes Summoning Events"?
Assuming I'm right, I'm gonna predict:
-Jill (Lance flier, premium pick hero)
-Shinon (colorless? archer)
-Volke (dagger... Colored?)
-Boyd (axe)
-Rhys/Gatrie (3*/4*)
Possible subs - Ike/Soren dual hero (guessing they wouldn't do two in a month?), Ilyana (I'm only discounting her since they JUST did a seasonal of her)

Actually that's not a bad guess. Hmm....
Come on Ashnard GHB.
