The Performing Banner could easy be the second event in late August. Or go back to it's original spot from year one.
The Halloween banner was too early last year anyway. It should be mid October.Iirc, the Performing Arts banner was on October? And then we complained about Halloween in November. ^^
Something else worth mentioning. HertzDevil (he datamines feh, a lot) found revivals for oliver, lyon, and takumi--which also happen to be the next GHBs after Elite 2. This isn't confirmation of Elite 3 yet (for starters, they appear to last two days each), but it's probably a spiritual successor to Elite 2 and coincides with the 2.5 anniversary.
My theory:
July 22 is confirmed for 3H
August 7 is also 3H
August 21 or so is CYL (it gets added with a paralogue)
September goes all-singing all-dancing and then a non-3H banner
October has Halloween and a 3H banner
November has the OCs of Book 3 and Brave Redux
December kicks off book 4
I'm thinking they will follow the Echoes precedent and have three banners, each focusing on one house. I would guess the second one on the schedule is for the first house, Black Eagles.I do wonder, if the new heroes banner at the beginning of August is another Three Houses one, what heroes it could feature?
Given the Byleth promo, it's (imo) pretty much guaranteed that the July one will have the Three Houses lords with Byleth. Red sword Byleth, green axe Edelgard, blue lance Dimitri, colorless bow Claude, fits like a glove.
Could the second, if Three Houses themed, be about the Church / Knights of Seiros?

Yeah I think the first banner is him and the lords, then the follow up banners are collections of characters from each house. The lords don't need to be on their house banners.Problem then is Byleth though. We know he's in the end of July banner in addition to his promo distribution. You can't really add him to one house banner and not to the others ... and i don't think they'd want a unit being featured in 3 banners directly after another.

Safe to assume those are 3H right?
Fiora is fine, with IVs she would be another Cordelia/Shigure/etcFiora has great art and stats that overshadow Palla and Caeda, even if the latter have strong prfs. She might be worth investing grails in.
I probably said the same about other grail units only to dump them on the bench after their event.
or rerun some TT units through other acquisition means...like grand conquests or RokkrMaybe they should change how grail units are summoned? Make TT ones a bit more expensive (say some hundred grails or something) and have them appear as 5* like they do in their TTs.
This way, you'd at least save the feathers.
I'm not sure I want to know how much this cost me, but I finally have my goal of having every unit in the game. For ten days, at least.
(The confessions come at the latest, a week from today.)
Amazing to see. It's doubtful I'll be about to obtain every unit myself. Still props to you!
Edit: Decided on randomly listing year one units that have yet to get a prf weapon and/or a prf weapon refine. I personally excluded healer due to not much of a precedence happening at the moment (only 3 healers having prfs), seasonal units because I feel those are unlikely, and Legendary and Brave units.
Counted about 63. Just wish more would be released monthly to transition to year 2 units.
I would probably discount Built in Distant Counter units (plus Hector who has an alt refine) getting prf for a while since almost all of them are still good on their own and it would probably not good for the meta (plus a bunch share their weapon with another character) Same is true of Reinhardt unless he gets a prf that doesn't double. I have a similar stance for Arya and Mia (though getting something simple like Swift Sparrow is possible)
