New Heroes have arrived to Fire Emblem Heroes.
Check this video out if you haven't already.
-------------------------------
I was originally just gonna go for only Brave Eirika and that was basically it, but after seeing the trailer for the CYL5 units I kind of want all of them. I was a little surprised that Brave Eirika would be a blue lance cavalry because I thought she might use either Excalibur or Latona for her weapon. Pretty happy that Brave Eirika wasn't a red or a colorless unit since it would be nice if Eirika had other colors besides those two. Her being a blue lance cavalry helps with an Eirika Emblem Team. That is another theme team idea that I also want to do in Fire Emblem Heroes.
Gatekeeper was pretty interesting. Lots of people thought he was going to be a blue infantry lance unit, but he actually ended up being a green mage infantry unit instead. His attack animation was pretty cool. It was nice seeing those sprites that charged right through.
Marianne being an infantry colorless mage unit was something I didn't see coming. There were lots of people on reddit thinking that Marianne was going to be the red unit of the bunch. She looked pretty interesting to me, but I'm not sure how I would want to utilize her though.
Marth ended up being the red unit of the bunch by being the infantry sword unit. He looked pretty cool when I saw him in the Feh Channel and the trailer video. Getting him would kind of help me with my Archanea roster since mine is kind of awful at the moment.
I'm quite surprised that there wasn't like a special video or something for this Choose Your Legends unlike last year's. Makes this year's Choose Your Legends a little dull. I mean... With the recent Feh Channel it makes me feel like there wasn't that much effort in the celebration. It could be possible that maybe those video(s) haven't been uploaded yet. I guess... Trying not to get my hopes to high on that aspect of it.
Anyways... Good luck to those that are going to summon on this banner. Hope you get the unit(s) you want as well as decent IVs for them.

Update: My current orb count at the moment is at 1,848 orbs since I spent 135 orbs on the Choose Your Legends 5 banner. I started with my free summons of the Pirate and Hero Fest banners, but I didn't get anything worthwhile. Though... With one of my tickets for Hero Fest I was able to get Asbel (+Res/-Spd). I was hoping for Dedue for my Blue Lion House collection, but I guess I could just wait for his banner to win a Forging Bond Revival to get him instead. Anyways... I was able to get Brave Marianne (+Res/-HP), Brave Eirika (+HP/-Spd), and Brave Gatekeeper (+Atk/-HP) by doing full circle summons. I currently haven't picked up my free summon unit or my first spark unit. Just gonna let those sit for a while until I make a decision on those. I am deciding if I want to go for a second spark on the banner or if I should wait until the banner wins a Forging Bond Revival. Overall, I am pretty happy that I was able to get 3 out of the 4 Brave units during my summon sessions.
