Skills:

Weapon Skill – Beach Banner+

Non-inheritable by Staff-wielding units.

C Skill – Goad Fliers

Grants flying allies within 2 spaces Spd/Atk+4 during combat. Requires Spur Atk 2 or Spur Spd 2.

Only inheritable by flier units.

Opinion

Summer Innes being a Green Flier is always nice to have given their ability to cross terrain easily without much limitations. While his skills are somewhat lacking, his Goad Fliers skill is good to have if you’re running a full-flier team.

His B skill Def Feint 3 could be useful if you’re planning on having Summer Innes as a supporting unit with repositioning shenanigans like reposition or swap, but it is certainly on the niche side.

Summer’s Arrival – Summer Tana

Base stats at level 40:

HP: 35
Atk: 33
Spd: 36
Def: 20
Res: 25

Skills:

Weapon Skill – Fruit of Iounn

Grants Spd+3. If unit’s HP ≥ 50% allies within 2 spaces can move to a space adjacent to unit.

Support Skill – Rally Spd/Res 3

Grants Spd/Res+3 to an adjacent ally until the end of the turn.

A Skill – Atk/Spd Push 3

At start of combat, if unit’s HP = 100%, grants Atk/Spd +5 but if unit attakced, deals 1 damage to unit after combat.

B Skill – Renewal 3

At the start of every second turn, restores 10 HP.

Inheritable by all units.

C Skill – Spur Atk/Def 2

Grants Atk/Def +3 to adjacent allies during combat.

Inheritable by all units

Opinion:

Arguably the best unit to pull for if you were to pull on this Fire Emblem Heroes Summer’s Arrival banner. While her offensive stats have fallen off as time passes with the addition of new units, her base Atk/Spd stat of 33 and 36 respectively is nothing to scoff at.

Her whole kit synergises pretty well and her A skill is a nice premium fodder skill to have on your offensive units like Legendary Eliwood.

Summer’s Arrival – Summer Cordelia

Base stats at level 40:

HP: 41
Atk: 32
Spd: 38
Def: 28
Res: 18

Skills:

Weapon Skill – Shell Lance+

If unit initiates combat, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+2 during combat.

Support Skill – Harsh Command

Converts penalties on target into bonuses.

A Skill – Sturdy Blow 2

If unit initiates combat, unit granted Atk/Def+4 during battle.

Non-inheritable by Staff-wielding unit.

B Skill – Dull Close 3

If foe users sword, lance, axe, dragonstone, or beast damage, neutralized foe’s bonuses (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat.

Inheritable by all units.

Opinion:

While she is a great character in her base game, Fire Emblem Awakening, Summer Cordelia is nothing much to write home about, other than her gorgeous art.

Her weapon is pretty lackluster and her overall kit is doesn’t help with the current meta. And not to mention with her being in the blue colour pool comes with great competition.

Summer Noire

Base stats at level 40:

HP: 36
Atk: 32
Spd: 36
Def: 27
Res: 20

Skills:

Weapon Skill – Coconut bow+

Effective against flying foes. If unit initiates combat, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res +2 during combat.

Rally – Ardent Sacrifice

Heals adjacent ally 10 HP. Unit loses 10HP (but cannot reach 0 this way)

A skill – Atk/Spd 2

Grants Atk/Spd +2

Inheritable by all units.

C skill – Infantry Rush 3

Infantry allies within 2 spaces gain: “If unit’s Atk ≥ foes’ Atk+1, grants Special cooldown charge +1 per attack. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack)”

Infantry Units Only

Opinion:

Summer Noire’s kit is also relatively decent with her only notable skill being her C skill of Infantry Rush 3 which is super useful if you were to pair it with units that already have a built in Special cooldown skill such as the Brave and Legendary variant of Ike.

As a unit by herself, Summer Noire is pretty niche with no notable game breaking skills.

Should you pull?

Long story short, you should definitely skip the Summer’s Arrival banner if you’re looking for a strong unit to have in your team.

There isn’t much uses in terms of skill fodder aside from Infantry Rush 3 from Summer Noire and Atk/ Spd Push 3 from Summer Tana.

I recommend saving your orbs for the upcoming Legendary Banners with the special 5* rate at 8% and will always have some of the more premium units on that banner.
