Since it's a black and a soldier of all things, I honestly think the odds of it not being a prem summon was much lower. Though the possibility isn't zero considering we do have a few black event units but isn't it the general trend for a lot of the broken units to end up in prem? I don't know if they'll go the path of making instant reinforcement calls though, it does sound broken but at the same time, what else would they give her?

If her cost were like... 15-18, then an instant (2s) skill for 15 cost would not be thaaaaat broken.
So far the only event black units were utility or "special" ones so yeah, as u say, no doubt about it being premium.
I specifically wrote that Altair is a premium summoning character because that's what is said on the public twitter. "召喚にレアリティブラックのソルジャー『光の守護者アルティア』が登場することになりました" with the important bit being '召喚に' (to summoning).
I wrote 'Summoning: Black Soldier Altair:'. What would I have to do to make this more apparent? Do I have to write this in large bold letters in size 10 font or something for the next revealed premium summoning unit?

Mmmm I think we were talking about doubting if the soldier was going to be event or summon during the time period between the initial disclosure of the unit and your upcoming event post. Your info posts are clear and very welcome as always.
Btw if anyone happens to find complete scans for the new book plz post it here, I'm interested. (after the official release, obviously )
hit 499 kills in the subjugation after I had sort of given up was just going to keep doing 480~ until I hit 10,000 but something clicked and I realized I can drop the 3 dragons away from my team on the left side of the map and kill them with some of my tanky units

Altair's cost is most likely going to be 15 after CC since it's not an event unit. Even if it was 18, I'd still say it's broken because bringing out two soldiers is just a powerful option. We're talking about a large difference of sortie points, and it means deploying powerful units a lot faster. It does require her to have Reinforcements as a skill.
If the second soldier was a min-cost Aria, after 80 seconds have passed then there is a 30 point difference over a person using only a min-cost Aria. Having 30 more points means deploying that one powerful unit much faster. Two Altair will have a 40 point difference over one Aria after 80 seconds. We all know mere seconds can make a difference between deploying one unit faster or not and even just 30 points extra is significant enough to prepare for any big wave/boss in a mission.
It just makes me wonder about the cost savings with a Tactician since they can be instantly deployed after Altair.

Not sure which is which but if the genuine part is true, that shorten interval + slow practically makes her a psuedo AoE witch doesn't it? It sounds... pretty good actually...

Anna: "This looks like the place the monsters appeared, but..."
(Kanon appears)
???: "Look ouuut!! S, someone, stop meeeee!!"
Anna: "Who's she...? Umm, what happened!?"
???: "My cannon has gone out of control...! I want to stop it from exploding...!"
Anna: "Prince, the way things are, she'll also be in danger. Let's defeat the monsters, and stop her movement!"
(end)
???: "I, it stopped..."
Anna: "Somehow, it has settled down. Let's head back, shall we?"
Kanon Introduction:
Kanon: "You saved me earlier. Sorry for the trouble. I'm Kanon. My goal is to be a cannon master, and I decided to do self-training at that place."
Kanon: "I used to commute to a respectable gunnery academy, but the monsters appeared, and the academy got destroyed..."
Kanon: "I'll never forget that day..."
Kanon: "The backs of the teachers and sempais that covered and saved us when the monsters appeared. Lost in the woods with my friends shivering for three day and three nights..."
Kanon: "Because I was weak, I wasn't able to protect the things important to me. I don't want to live with that kind of regret anymore. I don't want to see anyone dying because of me!"
Kanon: "So, please. Will you help with my training? Prince."
Training Begins (25/2) (訓練開始):
Silver Pirate Velotte (), Bronze Mage Roy (), Bouquet () Story:
(beginning)
Anna: "First, let's begin training here. This region is the rural lands near the royal castle."
Anna: "Kanon-san, it seems we have cannonballs that lower the movement speed of the enemy. Would you like to try and use them?"
Kanon: "Understood! I'll try them! Please look after me during training!"
(end)
Kanon: "All right! Somehow defeated them."
Anna: "You did well."
Anna: "Next, we'll have the Prince's army be your opponent. We'll also prepare full-fledged soldiers from the Prince's army for Kanon-san's side as well."
Kanon: "A live exercise~? I'm so excited!"
Anna: "Well then, let's head to the training grounds."
Geographical Advantage (30/3) (地の利):
Kanon (), Silver Heavy Lean (), Silver Witch Calliope (), Bronze Soldier Leo (x2) Gimmick: Enemy Movement Speed Increased (Large) Story:
(beginning)
Anna: "This time, we'll train by taking advantage of the terrain of the slopes that greatly increase mobility."
Kanon: "I learned about it in class. This terrain is advantageous for the attacking side, right? This is a chance to test myself in actual combat."
(beginning)
Anna: "Over here, we'll have you form ranks, and march. It's practice for taking action based on orders."
Anna: "This is for matching the timing of your attacks, so it's very important.
Kanon: "I believe my teacher once said meeting the enemy in a procession is one of the strategies of gunners."
Kanon: "That way, your companions will inspire confidence in you."
(beginning)
Anna: "The training ground will be in this desert region. Your health will be decreased when deployed in the desert. Please keep this characteristic in mind."
Kanon: "I feel as if I'm making progress... Let's do this!"
Friends from Class (90/12) (同窓の友):
Kanon (100), Silver Mage Valery (), Silver Rogue Cecily (), Ruby (x2) Story:
(beginning)
Janna: "It's been a while, Kanon."
Mel: "I missed you, Sempai!"
Janna: "You're an impressive one making it all this way, aren't you? I've also improved my 'Cluster Shell' thanks to my training. Please do your best."
Mel: "So did I! I've become able to reach faraway enemies from my training."
Kanon: "Yeah... I'll, I'll try harder!"
Anna: "Since we're all here, why don't you two also join us for training?"
Anna: "That way, Kanon-san could have more fun learning than she would by herself."
Kanon: "If I'm with everyone from my former military academy, then there's no way I'll lose. I'll show you the results of my training!"
Majin Advent:
-Available on Sat-Sun Daily Between July 18th at 0:00~August 16th at 23:59.
Introduction:
Anna: "Prince, we've received a report about the appearance of a monster that has tremendous fighting abilities."
Anna: "Half of the soldiers that intercepted it have lost their lives, and the survivors barely escaped with their lives..."
Anna: "According to the report, the enemy is a monster with the head of a bird wrapped in flames that boasts uncommon fighting potential. I believe it will be difficult to halt its march."
Anna: "Moreover, its flames are so severe that it can melt armour, it seems you'll take damage just from approaching it."
Anna: "The monster that has the head of a bird wrapped in flames..."
Anna: "Could it be that legendary Majin Aamon...?"
Anna: "Even if it isn't, that doesn't change the fact that it's a dangerous being."
Anna: "Moreover, that monster has a number of servants."
Anna: "However, what kind hasn't been report yet, so we have little information to go on, but I believe they'll be strong enemies."
Anna: "Prince, if you plan to head out to intercept it, then I anticipate this will be a fierce battle like no other that has come before."
Anna: "I recommend making lots of preparations in the training of your soldiers, and the selection of your team, before challenging it."
Majin Advent: Aamon's Second Coming (0/120) (魔神降臨：アモン再臨):
Diamond (?, 100 first drop), Platinum Armour (?, 100 first drop), Black Fairy (?, 100 first drop), Completion: Black Armour Gimmick: Units continually lose HP within Aamon's area of influence.
Divine Intervention of the Goddess: (Rank Over 51; 31-50; -30; -10)
-Physical Damage Decreased 40% (10; 5; 3; Free)
-Magical Damage Decreased 40% (10; 5; 3; Free)
-All Unit Deployment Cost -2 (10; 5; 3; Free)
-Attack Multiplied by 1.7 (7; 3; 2; Free)
-Attack Multiplied by 1.7 (7; 3; 2; Free)
-Dragon Shaman, Healer, and Feng-shui User-type Healing Multiplied by 1.7 (5; 2; 1; Free)
-Altair Attack Multiplied by 1.7 and Cost Decreased by 1/2
Wait, so that's what you are going to be arguing against?
That 4% is supposedly better than 3% and despite the fact I already have Sophie and got one of the blacks I won't be bother raising, it's still supposed to be lucky?
I guess we really do have a difference in terms of wasting money/value of unit then. (Basically, there's black units, and then there's black units, and then there's Aisha.)
Anything that doesn't improve my party is a loss to me, so the above is quite a significant failure in terms of pulls.
Sounds like a generation boost to Cost. Is it at least a bonus of +1 cost per second? or something crappy like 1 cost every 2 or 3 seconds?
No idea, I would guess or hope for double during time of skill activation. I mean it would at least be a +15 compared to Reinforcement III over 20+ seconds right?
