The Best Units From Special Hero Summon (Year 3)

Pull for a Red Unit!

In Special Hero Summon (Year 3), there are many excellent red heroes to pull from, such as Halloween Hector, Valentine's Ike, Picnic Flora, Soiree Ishtar, and New Year Anna. In particular, Halloween Hector has an amazing duo skill which will cast 20 units of fixed damage to enemies within 3 columns centered on him, which can be huge for taking out the enemy team. Since there are many other useful red units you could end up with as well, this is most likely the safest bet.

Otherwise, pull for Green!

The best unit you could possibly draw from this event is Winter Sothis, so if you are feeling lucky, or you do not need a red unit, pull for green! While the red pool probably has better units overall, there are still a couple green units worth mentioning, such as Picnic Felicia and New Year Lethe. While each pool has some good units to choose from, keep in mind that your free 5 star unit is not guaranteed to be the one you want, so you should look through the units first and see which color has the most units you would be okay with adding to your barracks.
