We've got a new banner! It contains beasts! And new skills that are neat! And a second Distant Counter unit that isn't Hector! It's in the spoiler!
I'm sorry to say, I can't see anyone demoting from this banner (maybe Leanne? But probably not), they all look pretty good at worst.
Naesala's gonna be the Grand Hero Battle starting on the 12th, so everyone's getting a free bird to play with.
Also, Beast units transform based on whether they're next to any non-Beast/Dragon allies or not.
