Welll now that the CYL 5 banner trailer is now out, Marianne is kind of a disappointment. Compared to Eirika who very much looks like the 1st place unit. Can restore up to 90% of her total HP when triggering a special, gets canto and foe's Def based true damage. Marth and Gatekeeper both look nice as well as both offensive and defensive support units respectively.

Marianne's "Requim Dance" seems a tad too wonky for my liking, though I suppose that not having to worry about isolation, and being able to refresh allies with skills like "sing"/"dance", gives her some utility. Having it be similar to "Holy Knight's Aura"/"Fire Emblem"/"Righteous Wind" would solve a lot of its issues. Wielding a colorless tome limits her options a bit, but makes her more unique due the small amount of options currently available.
Reasoning- Blocked to some extent by "Pulse smoke", "Peshkatz", "Atrocity" and "Melancholy"/"Witchy Wand"
- Reliably charging it each turn could be an issue, though "Times pulse" could help
- Might not be ble to get in a position where an extra action can be granted to an ally
- No precise control over which character is granted an extra option
- Opportunity cost of boosting her damage
- Marianne needs to survive combat (but nor as much of an issue due to it resulting in a game over or score loss anyway)
Eirika does seem far better of with the skills she got. Also, I have seen some people claim that, based on the japanese text, "Lunar Bangle" would negate skills like "Guard" and the tier 4 "Stance" skills. If that is true, she could also be a reliable user of "Galeforce", even if it undermines some parts of her skillset. Yet another strong option for the Sacred stones cast in any case.
Marth looks like decent buffer, but doesn't really stand out from the many, many other infantry sword wielders in my opinion. Ashera would probably be a great teammate for him so he doesn't have to worry about "panic" nearly as much.
Gatekeeper's niche of preventing foes from teleporting all over the map seems interesting. I wonder how long it will remain unique to him. But even then, he is still a nice support unit with the area in which he applies buffs.
I hope that I can manage to summon a few copies of Eirika and Gatekeeper with the orbs Ihave saved up.
