I'd personally love it if new unit banners meant you couldn't roll other 5* units....I just got my third -atk pity breaker Innes of my whole career of rolling for new colourless units. No Maribelle for me :(

stats for dancers:



all pretty much what I expected

I think Micaiah's who I'm most interested in (if!!! I pull). With Atk+3 from her tome and that attack stat, give her death blow and she'll be really useful in arena assault against armours.

Thankee kindly.
Between the three daggers, Xander is likely the most useful on raw stats alone. You take a big penalty on SPD compared to Saizo in exchange for ATK, but he's decently bulky (as far as a ranged dancer can be) for physical warfare.

Ryoma and Elincia are pretty similar (mostly coming down to colour), but I'd probably lean towards Ryoma for the better dragonkilling potential.

IS should just let us refine brave weapons and raven tomes already. They aren’t even that good anymore.

Man, that would have been a painful couple of seasons if I didn't luckshit my way into a +1 L!Lucina. Still, I'm pretty happy I now have an excuse to stuff-around with Future Vision for a while.

In case people forgot what the refines for the Askr trio are:

--Alfonse: dumps Defiant Attack for the much better Brazen ATK/DEF. Unique refine adds in Triangle Adept to make him more of a heavy hitting red unit, and stand out a bit more from the rest of the red sword crowd.

--Sharena: jettisons Threaten Attack for the "Neutralize buffs during combat" effect from the Love Abounds weapons, making her a good check against not only Blade and Owl tomes, but also Horse/Armor/Flier Emblem teams. Unique refine adds in SPD/DEF Bond. Probably the best refine of the bunch overall in terms of usefulness.

--Anna: Escape Route gets bumped up to level 3 (at or less than 50% HP means she can zip over to any ally unit), while the unique refine adds in Fujin Yumi's unique refine (at or above 50% HP, Anna can move next to an ally within 2 spaces). Decent if you want to do shenanigans or clear maps faster, but mediocre in the long run.

I find it hilarious that Alfonse gets a Triangle Adept refinement just before the new dumbshit format that expects your bonus unit to solo a map

It's tragic that a speed refine is more optimal than her unique refine. At least Escape Route is easier to activate now.

How many bonus units can fight a full team with just neutral triangle matchups? Most of them struggle to do more than a single fight with WTD, unless you have a healer in your arena core.

Anna's refine would be good on a unit with merges and IVs. But units need an in-combat refine to take on foes with a +10 merge advantage.

It's an impossible request meant to separate the superwhales from the hyperwhales. Normal players should just take their WTA bonus kills and not worry about silly things like trying to kill SYTiki with Anna.
