[[WMG:Prediction for the '2nd Season' Character batch]]
As of November 7th, 2017, we're only down to ''Thracia 776'' and ''Radiant Dawn'' official banners (where they would include the main characters of each installments, namely Leif and Micaiah). FE Switch doesn't count since the title hasn't been announced so predicting them at that point is impossible. But FE Heroes will still continue. So when that was done, I predict that they will revisit the previous series and adds even more characters in sets. This WMG is to predict the sets per games in the next season. Here's how I think the 'Season 2' would play out, using at most 4 characters, discounting possible Grand Hero Battle or Tempest Trial reward or a surprise fifth (like Ayra):

* Shadow Dragon Season 2:
** Julian - Dagger
** Lena - Healer (She and Julian are to respect two of the most recurring archetypes of Fire Emblem, not to mention they are a couple)
** Midia - Spear Cavalry
** Astram - Sword Infantry (In addition of he and Midia being a couple, Astram comes with the unique sword Mercurius, the last Regalia of Archanea not yet featured)
* Mystery of the Emblem Season 2
** Malice - Sword Infantry
** Arlen - Blue Tome Infantry (Since we missed out Tailtiu for the first wielder of Thoron+, might as well it goes to Arlen, the one who actually wielded it first)
** Cecile - Spear Cavalry
** Phina - Sword Dancer
* Shadow of Valentia - Alm Army Season 2
** Kliff - Green Tome Infantry or Archer
** Silque - Healer
** Python - Archer
* Shadow of Valentia - Celica Army Season 2
** Valbar - Spear Armor
** Deen - Sword Infantry
** Conrad - Spear Cavalry
* Genealogy of the Holy War Season 2 (Variation 1)
** Lex - Axe Cavalry
** Azelle - Red Tome Cavalry
** Edain - Healer
** Brigid - Archer (Carries the Yewfelle)
*** This represents other main players at Granvalle
* Genealogy of the Holy War Season 2 (Variation 2)
** Lewyn - Green Tome Infantry (Carries the Forseti)
** Erinys - Spear Pegasus Knight
** Sylvia - Sword Dancer
*** This represents mostly Silesse
* Thracia 776 Season 2
** We'll wait until they actually released the first Thracia 776 banner
* Binding Blade Season 2
** Lugh - Green Tome Infantry
** Dieck - Sword Infantry
** Melady - Spear Wyvern Knight
** Gonzales - Axe Infantry
* Blazing Blade Season 2
** Dorcas - Axe Infantry (Mostly because IS can't resist milking the meme)
** Pent - Red Tome Infantry
** Louise - Archer
* Sacred Stones Season 2
** Joshua - Sword Infantry (Wields the Audhulma)
** L'arachel - Mounted Healer
** Lute - Green Tome Infantry
* Path of Radiance Season 2 (Variation 1)
** Boyd - Axe Infantry
** Mia - Sword Infantry
** Shinon - Archer
** Gatrie - Spear Armor
*** This represents another batch of Greil Mercenaries
* Path of Radiance Season 2 (Variation 2)
** Geoffrey - Spear Cavalry
** Astrid - Mounted Archer
** Marcia - Spear Pegasus Knight
*** This represents Elincia's first 'royal guards'. Of course, [[BaseBreakingCharacter Makalov]] gets left behind to avoid controversy.
* Radiant Dawn Season 2
** We'll wait until they actually released the first Radiant Dawn banner
* Awakening Season 2
** Sumia - Spear Pegasus Knight
** Gregor - Sword Infantry
** Maribelle - Mounted Healer
** Miriel - Green Tome Infantry
* Fates Season 2
** Kaze - Thief (To complete the ninja brothers with Saizo)
** Charlotte - Axe Infantry (Since she already got her Bridal variation first)
** Shigure - Spear Pegasus Knight (Since he got his Performing Arts variation first)

[[WMG: Once the BiggerBad is revealed, Veronica and Bruno will be available through a permanent event]]
We all know there's ''something'' manipulating the Embla royals. However, the way the game works, the only way to recruit them after freeing them would be through a quest or as a Tempest Trial[=/=]Grand Hero Battle reward (which would feel cheap and be limited since they expire/end). So, they will be rewards either in a Hero Battle or Xenologue that can only be accessed after beating the chapter you free them. Of course, since whatever is controlling them no longer aids them, they'll be 1* ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation said battle, however, will have them with stats similar to the ones found on the Tempest Trials' final stage]]).
* That, or they'll just flat-out join you for free like the Askrian trio, Virion, Raigh, and Matthew do.






** The focus itself is still up in the air, but having it occur on Father's day is jossed. Instead, we got units from ''New Mystery of the Emblem''.

[[WMG: Predictions for future Heroes Spotlight]]
Similar things like Siblings Bonds and the one featuring ''Blazing Sword'' characters (Karel, Nino, Jaffar, Rebecca, Ninian), but not promoting a series' entrance (World of Shadows for ''Gaiden/Shadows of Valentia''), let's start guessing future themes for future Spotlights.
* Judging how we got the Greil Mercenaries (okay, only four of them) spotlighted, how about one for the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Dawn Brigade]]? It could have Micaiah, Sothe, Edward, Nolan, Leonardo, and Aran.
* We had focuses with pairs of siblings. How about one with parent and child duos? There's Garcia and Ross in ''Sacred Stones'', Brom and Meg from ''Radiant Dawn'', and Eyvel and Mareeta from ''Thracia 776''.
** If this is the case, there will be many potentials from Genealogy, ''Awakening'', and ''Fates''...
* Good offsprings may be an idea, based on being children of bad people. Some that come to mind could be... Sonya (against Jedah), Lex (against Lombard), Tailtiu (against Reptor), Sara (against Manfroy) and Pelleas (against Ashnard). Granted, some existing chatacters like Sheena (against Jiol) or the Nohr siblings (against Garon) already fit this bill, but... yea. (Also, despite being a daughter of an 'enemy', Jill wouldn't fit in because Shiraham is a good person being stuck in a villain position.)
** Father's Day ''is'' in June, after all.
** Celebrating Father's Day by beating up dads that happen to be bad... err... can I say awkward?
** The focus itself is still up in the air, but having it occur on Father's day is jossed. Instead, we got units from ''New Mystery of the Emblem''.
*** And even though it's already jossed, Pelleas versus Ashnard wouldn't work because the two aren't actually related. It would have to be [[spoiler:Soren]] versus Ashnard instead.
** Sonya is also jossed because she appears as Celica's Army banner. Likewise with Tailtiu, who appears in the Holy War banner.
* How about a Dragon-themed Spotlight? With ''Path of Radiance'' characters in Heroes now, they could even advertise a full Goldoan Laguz set: Ena, Nasir, Kurthnaga, and Gareth. Other possible new dragons from games that have already been represented include Nah (''Awakening''), Nils (''Binding Blade''), Myrrh (''Sacred Stones''), Bantu (the original/''Shadow Dragon''), and Kana (''Fates'').
* Considering that there's been a Spring Spotlight featuring characters from Awakening and Fates in new outfits, perhaps there will be a Summer Spotlight featuring Chrom, Gaius, Cordelia, and Tharja in their swimwear from the Awakening DLC, or the Fates Lords/Ladies from their own DLC.
** There is a June Brides event (may be too early to be considered summer, but June is when summer starts), and Cordelia is among the heroes there. Judging by the timing, it may be too soon to consider this jossed entirely.
** '''Final Status:''' Spotlight theme is confirmed, titled "Ylissean Summer". Of the characters predicted, Gaius is confirmed, complete with [[CallBack the same candy patterned swimtrunks from the Summer Scramble]]. Joining him, though, are Female Robin, Adult Tiki, and Frederick. Meanwhile, the Nohrians have their time in the sun in "Nohrian Summer". Among the Nohrian siblings, Xander, Leo, and Elise are confirmed, complete with their Paradise Scramble ending attire. Female Corrin joins them.
* Tharja, Gaius, Cordelia, Odin, Selena, and Laslow are all currently in the game, so a banner for their counterparts (Rhajat, Asugi, Caledori, Owain, Severa, and Inigo) could occur after a few sprite edits.
* A spotlight involving trainee units. This will include the ''Echoes'' villagers (except Faye, who's already summonable); Amelia, maybe Ewan, and Ross (if the parent/child WMG is jossed) from ''Sacred Stones''; and Mozu from ''Fates''.
** With Tobin obtainable through Tempest Trial and Gray being featured in the Alm's Army focus, they may no longer be in the running for the spotlight. There are still enough for a spotlight, so we're not counting it out just yet.
** Amelia is introduced in the "Sacred World" banner, so her chances of appearing are jossed.
* Headwear: give us Joshua, Nephenee, and a few others that I've either forgotten or never played.
** Nephenee is jossed. She's part of the "Dauntless Crimeans" banner.
* Future new units: since the game hasn't gave us a Bow Cavalier Unit yet, let this be a time to introduce some like Rath, Sue, Wolf, Astrid, etc....
** Further down the line, an update to include the beast units: non-dragon laguz from Tellius such as Lethe, Mordecai, Reyson, etc., Panne from ''Awakening'', and Keaton and Kaden from ''Fates''. (Yarne, Velouria, and Selkie as well if the child units also become available).
** In regards to Bow Cavaliers: they finally come to be playable in the form of Brave Hero Lyn. This will not joss a possibility of such a banner, however.
* The Fall event will be an UsefulNote/AllHallowsEve themed event, so we can have units dressed for the occasion. Playing the witch will be either Mae or Celica as a reference to witches appearing in ''Gaiden'', or Ophelia, Orochi, or Rhajat from ''Fates''. Whoever gets the role of the vampire (preferably a magic user) will get Nosferatu. There could be a werewolf and maybe a cat; while these roles may be covered by shapeshifters (wolfskin and Tellian laguz), they may be a bit too obvious of a choice.
** One of the dragons uni will appear in it. Most preferably Fae, who instead of turning into a Divine Dragon [[AscendedGlitch transforms into a Fire Dragon]].
** (original poster here) Looks like the theme is at risk for being jossed entirely. We are getting a Performance Arts based banner instead, and it is spanning one month. As a new banner could be added halfway through, there may still be a chance, but only time will tell.
** '''Final Status:''' Just as October winds down, the focus is confirmed. There is a witch played by Nowi as a flyer. There is a vampire played by Henry, but the part of having Nosferatu or anything with that effect is jossed. There is a cat (specifically, a nekomata) played by Sakura. Also available is Jakob as a monster.
* With the banner size making it to 3, you can now start making up 3-characters banner combination instead of only 4.
* Since there is a specific army banner spotlights after the Alm and Celica bond battles, maybe we can expect new units to come out of the next bond battle. In particular this can introduce units that certain characters meet depending on which lord one uses to recruit them. Most noticeably representatives for Eirika's or Ephraim's Army.
** The bond battle after Alm and Celica's was Cecilia and Lilina's, which doesn't follow that format. Still possible if one for Ephraim and Eirika is confirmed...
* Expect Sigurd, Leif, and Micaiah to be introduced later on considering that they are the only lord characters not introduced in the game yet.
** By October, Sigurd has his own banner, featuring him, Deirdre... [[UnexpectedCharacter and Tailtiu]] (Ayra not listed in the banner, but will also appear).

[[WMG: CYL character predictions]]
Assuming that the "Choose Your Legends" characters are palette swaps gives us a red-only banner that's unlikely (though not without precedent) to happen. As a result, odds are the [=CYLs=] will use different colours. Question is what:
* Lyn:
** Bow (plus Awakening's fur trim)
* Ike:
** Urvan (with Greil's cape)
* Roy:
** DC Binding Blade (with a reflected portrait)
* Lucina:
** Lance (tattered outfit from future)
* Weapon types confirmed. The only jossed points are Lucina's outfit ''not'' being in tatters, and Roy gets a variant of Durandal, his father's sword. Lyn does get the fur trim, while Ike does get the cape and Urvan.



* Gharnef's 5-Star final weapon skill will be Imhullu (because why would it be anything else?) It will have Might comparable to other legendary weapons and will passively increase Gharnef's Defense and Resistance by a large value (5 or something like that), to reflect that it made him flat-out NighInvulnerable in his home games.
** Imhullu will only be usable by Gharnef -- other Heroes cannot inherit it under any circumstances.

[[folder:Detailed Future Character Predictions]]

[[WMG:Gharnef will eventually be playable]]
As the driving force between the conflicts of the Archanaea games, it's highly likely that he'll eventually show up. Specific attributes will likely include...
* Gharnef will use Red Tomes -- all prior Dark Magic users have been Red Tome users in this game.
* Gharnef's 5-Star final weapon skill will be Imhullu (because why would it be anything else?) It will have Might comparable to other legendary weapons and will passively increase Gharnef's Defense and Resistance by a large value (5 or something like that), to reflect that it made him flat-out NighInvulnerable in his home games.
** Imhullu will only be usable by Gharnef -- other Heroes cannot inherit it under any circumstances.
* Stat-wise, Gharnef will have titanic Defense and Resistance for a tome user (even without Imhullu) along with respectable Attack, but his Speed will be somewhat lacking. He might also have low HP, meaning that anything strong enough to hurt him at all will be likely to put a huge dent in him, if not ORKO him outright.
* Gharnef will be unavailable through Summoning, instead being acquired via Tempest Trial and/or Grand Hero Battle.

[[WMG:Julius]]
* Julius will be a Red Tome user like every other Dark Mage.
* Julius's ultimate weapon skill will be Loptyr, which will be essentially an even stronger Imhullu -- however, it will also cause Julius to count as a Manakete/Dragon in addition to a Tome user, meaning that weapons that deal effective damage on Dragons (like Falchion and Naga) will deal effective damage to a Loptyr-using Julius as well (and potentially ORKO him).
** Loptyr cannot be inherited by other Heroes -- only Julius can have it.
* Julius's stat spread will be more offensive than Gharnef's, with greater Speed in exchange for less Defense and Resistance.
* Julius will be unavailable through Summoning, instead being acquired via Tempest Trial and/or Grand Hero Battle.

[[WMG:Nergal]]
* Nergal will use Red Tomes as well -- see Gharnef and Julius.
* Nergal's penultimate weapon skill will be Nosferatu, which will function similarly to how it does in the main games, though the effect may be toned down. (Its Might will most likely be 7 or 8, ''not'' 9 or higher.)
* Nergal's ultimate weapon skill will be Ereshkigal, which in this game will be Nosferatu UpToEleven -- great Might on par with Falchion, Armads, etc. and regaining a greater proportion of health relative to the damage inflicted (if Nosferatu doesn't already heal for 100% of damage dealt, in which case Ereshkigal will also heal 100% of damage dealt).
** Ereshkigal will be strictly exclusive to Nergal, but Nosferatu will be available for other Red Tome users to inherit (though Flux and Ruin will be prerequisites for it, so a Red Tome user without those skills will need to inherit them, from Nergal or another Dark Mage, before inheriting Nosferatu).
* Nergal may or may not have a field skill that drains health from allies (but cannot reduce their HP below 1) -- essentially Ardent Sacrifice in reverse. Said field skill, if it exists and Nergal has it, may or may not be strictly exclusive to him.
* The main reason for Nergal's skills revolving around LifeDrain is that stealing the life-force of others to empower himself was Nergal's '''entire modus operandi''' in ''The Blazing Blade''.
* Nergal might have a thoroughly stupidly large amount of HP, though he may also have slightly sub-par defenses. This may have the effect of making his LifeDrain abilities less efficient just by virtue of a single HP not meaning as much to Nergal as it would to a Hero with lower HP and higher Defense and/or Resistance.
* Nergal will be unavailable through Summoning, instead being acquired by Tempest Trial and/or Grand Hero Battle.

[[WMG:Lyon]]
* Lyon, being a Dark Magic user in the main series, will use Red Tomes here.
* Lyon's ultimate weapon will be Naglfar, which will most likely give him a stat boost, similarly to Eirika and Ephraim's ultimate weapons.
** Naglfar will be strictly exclusive to Lyon.
* Lyon will have a unique field skill that allows him to place additional units on the battlefield -- either randomly-generated generic units or randomly-selected other Heroes from your roster. To keep this from being hideously overpowered, it would have some sort of cost to use -- either draining a large portion of Lyon's HP with each use (and being unusable if it would reduce his HP below 0 -- no, unlike Ardent Sacrifice, infinite-use-at-1-HP shenanigans would ''not'' be acceptable here) and/or requiring Lyon to have a Special Skill (e.g. Dragon Gaze, New Moon, Daylight, etc.) charged up and ready to use (in which case using this field skill would expend the Special Skill charge as if the Special Skill had been used). It might also be somewhat odd to use, considering that it's a Field Skill that doesn't target an ally.
** This special skill would be semi-strictly exclusive to Lyon and Izuka (who would have it by default as a 5-star skill) and inheritable by two specific other units, namely Knoll and Ewan. (This, of course, would depend on Izuka, Knoll, and Ewan also becoming playable characters on top of Lyon becoming playable and the summoning skill existing in the first place.)
** If the summoning skill creates generic units, they would come at the same level as the user, with randomly-generated stats, skills, and movement classes (similarly to the generation of non-standard enemy units in non-predetermined maps). The generic units would not be able to earn EXP or SP.
** If it summons Heroes, they would come from your roster, with all statistics (level, stats, skills, etc.) as is. The algorithm for deciding which Hero you summon may or may not be weighted to call a Hero whose level is appropriate for the map you're on. The summoned Hero would count as if they had been selected to be brought to the mission from the get-go for all intents and purposes -- and that means '''all''' intents and purposes. If you're playing on a map where you instantly lose if you suffer even a single casualty, it's GameOver if the summoned Hero goes down. If you're playing a mode where you play several maps in a row with the same team (and get to bring along another team if you lose) (such as Tempest Trial or Chain Challenge), the summoned hero is brought along for all future maps in the sequence, and becomes unavailable for re-selection if your team goes down. If you're playing a mode where you play several battles in sequence and have to choose a new team for each one, such as Squad Challenge or Arena Assault, the summoned hero becomes unavailable until your game is completely over. And so on.
** The summoning skill might itself be a Special Skill instead of a field skill (in which case it would likely have a 5-combat or greater cooldown).
* Lyon would be unavailable through Summoning, instead being acquired by Tempest Trial and/or Grand Hero Battle.
