Do we have any hints on what the DLC classes may be?

Bit of a lore question

I'm a bit suprised by that but part of me feels like the Engage rings lore wise serve as the PRFs for the lords since they dont exactly need a Holy/Demonic sword since theyve got the power of multiple in one ring which then comes down to them not having any in gameplay.

*Read Book of Seiros Part 2* The season pass symbol is starting to make sense now...

My Thoery: Whip sword dude is Byleth's ancestor and Seiros is the current leader or ancestor of the current leader of the church. Byleth's ancestor through Sothis's guidance noticed the hidden evil within the church (evil sorceror dude) and tried to stop him. The goddess then gifts Seiros the gift to "guide the lost" and leads the church to purge Byleth's ancestors off Fodlan in a crusade-like war. After the war is done Seiros then unites the crests of the land with Byleth's crest being purged out which is why it is not on the mural because it was made after the war. Seiros then gifts the blade to a extremely loyal knight of the church with the current one being the swordswoman near the end of the trailer. Byleth's lineage is found out by the swordswoman and by her loyalty to the church attempts to kill him to bring "peace" to Fodlan. The evil sorceror dude then arrives and injures the sowrdswoman. After that he extracts the crest stone off of the sword and crushes it whilst filling it with dark energy. Byleth then takes action by retrieving the sword and then his lineage starts to awaken inside him repelling the evil energy with his aura. He then reawakens the blade and fully reclaims it.

Very exciting set, we have our first Three Houses set and our second set (technically third if you count the all star set) to include Sacred Stones. This whole set smells "monster support" due to 3H revealing monsters in the form of black beasts. On the Awakening side I predict a Chrom focus opposed to the Lucina focus last time. I also expect a future evil (M)Robin here. On the SS side we'll probably see Grado general cards (hoping for Marisa cards). The 3H side is hard to predict obviously aside from House leader SRs and maybe even Byleth and Sothis SRs. Speaking of 3H what color and symbol do you guys expect 3H to have?

Still slightly sad that we are kept in the dark in terms of Three Houses info. However Set 17 is the most epic set I've even seen and best of all Sacred Stones is back!!

Miwabe Sakura draws everyone.

Pretty hype for this 4 series set. On Echoes side im guessing antagonist cards (Finally a Rudolf card?) and Alm side villagers in different classes than their previous ones from set 9 (Like Tobin or Gray as a Cavalier or Faye as a Cleric). On the Heroes side I'm wondering if it's Book 3 since 3.0 is supposedly coming soon.

Huh. Kirie did it say that set 16 would be Three Houses set back in previous livestream? Or was it changed?

I like this kinda view. Almost reminds me of the SoV banners. Version 1; Alm and Celica are in their pre-promoted appearances but have their prfs. Their dialogue is like a subtle ad to their game, like how Alm talks about freeing Zofia and all that. Version 2; more SoV characters come in from Alm and Celica's armies. Thoughts on the legendary banner; Bowcina is nice and all but where is the real alt John Cena!!! ahem Joking Aside. I may sling a few orbs on red and blue. I want Paladin!Chrom and Ishtar the most.

There were a good amount of leaks, but they were easily debunked (some of them felt promising tho). Plus, we were all just bored as heck.
