Intelligent System’s Fire Emblem Heroes had just announced over on their official twitter account, a rerun banner for the limited Summer’s Arrival Special Heroes banner featuring: Summer Tana, Summer Innes, Summer Cordelia and Summer Noire at a special rate of 4%.
We will be going through each of the unit’s skills and stats to determine if you should be spending those precious orbs on this banner.

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 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)”
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.
