I knew there would be complaining, warned you two times that there would be broken skills and/or stats. You gals and guys can already start preparing for the datamine, because you can bet that at the very least Tibarn and Nailah will have stats that are either on the level of current gen armor BST and/or will be minmaxed to infinity. But to make them less intimidating ... fight Tibarn on player phase, and fight Nailah on enemy phase.
Also, prepare for the same reaction when Deghinsea and Caineghis / Skrimir will be added.
For once, it's ok (though i don't have an issue with powercreep). Laguz were strong in PoR/RD, but the royals were more broken than the Greil Mercs in RD with their third promotion and imported statlines. They could solo pretty much every map outside of the final ones.
So ... now for the banner. Having two Herons seem overkill, i'd think that keeping the Herons colorless and instead adding a cat/tiger/lion Laguz would've been better ... seeing that Reyson will most likely drop is ok though. Having a flying dancer with 3 movement available as a 4* is going to be more annoying than Vallazura will ever be, pray that G Flying Duel is ways off. ^^
Seeing how useful Eir's passive C-skill heal is, the herons will be the champs of support.
Naesala as GHB also works, he's supposed to be weaker than the other royals anyway. ;]
On one hand, i'm glad that the transform "only" adds movement and some Atk, on the other hand it could have been more powerful like in the games. Maybe Laguz could've been given lower stats in human form and a buff to the full stats while transformed. As of now, it's "not too" important to keep them transformed, since everything else from them also works in human form.
At least, they found a way to make the transform not annoying to achieve, like waiting for a certain amount of turns or by special. Doing it by positioning via the weapon is a great thing.
Will go hard in for Nailah, art looks great, and she's going to be so useful in AA and AR, simply by her build being the ultimate "Fuck You" to WrazzleDazzle healers and Wary Fighter armors. Also, she's infantry and can benefit from cooldown reduction skills like Infantry Pulse and Rush.
E:
Just remembered ... the Laguz royals were able to transform at will everytime they want in PoR/RD, while "lower" Laguz had to wait or use the Laguz Stone. Could it be that future units, Lethe or Mordecai for example, will have a different way to transform?
