[General Notes:
first off as a precaution and fair warning that every banner review I post is subject to personal opinion, you can have a differing opinion and that's absolutely okay, this is just me being helpful as much as I can with my meager knowledge so do let me know if I make any mistakes, or loss of logic, I do frequently become plant brained you see,

now that that's out of the way, onto general notes,
・the banner is very unique in that since it is anniversary spec there's a high chance it wouldn't be in the LB gacha nor would it get a rerun at all, and if it did it would take a really long while, (see calamity spec) unless they change up how they rerun / input weapons in LB gacha, its either, get lots of LB or risk replacing them soon once we get powercrept weapons (again see calamity spec)
・In terms of Tier 4 aid, they are without a doubt very strong and future proof. for comparison, LB0 RS4 = LB3 RS3, LB0 SB4 = LB2 SB3, and LB0 DC4 is somewhere between LB2 & LB3 DC3
・We have no idea what the third weapon on the banner would be so it could very much change the overall quality of the banner,
・All the weapons (except the third one which we do not know) are all LL so they would have no more upgrades in the future unless GL decides to change them for no reason (doubt it)
・Lastly this is spec as usual, unless they add a spark mechanic or something it would always be risky, please pull at your own risk and check with yourself first if you're willing to take on the risk of being shafted since spec is known for being brutal.
that's basically it for the general notes. onwards to weapons!]

[Notes:
Physical Weapon Notes
・Very good 1-3T vanilla hammer, its also water so it would still see some use regardless of your comp. DC4 being highly powerful and above the current norm would also make the sword very useful in terms of weapon farming since you would usually need a mix of DC and AoN/Edge for better efficient farming,
Magic Weapons Notes
・Also another very good weapon, another disadvantage spear aside from shell spear, unfortunately this one is wind which is currently still niche but it is powerful nonetheless, DC4 makes it very worthwhile to get as can be seen with red hammer, disadvantage weapons are very strong when used correctly, tho with its element it would be hard to use on occasions.
The bow like the sword is also really great for farming / flex due to its DC4 aid skill, both of them also having +5 combo can be treated as an extra.
Orb Gang Notes
・Pretty fucking sick yo, look at that 2T weapon, orbs finally get 2T not just clerics, maybe its the era of orbs?, 2-3T orbs when? maeda will be proud. aid is secondary, the glory of orbs is forever, the other one is 1-3T, its coming there, maybe we'll get more 1-3T orbs soontm, maybe they'll even release TLP character enhance, or even Orb shinma,
someone watered me with more copium for lore. the Urn is where global's hopes and dreams are, the 2T denotes its unwillingness to follow the correct path, and the music box is to soothe our aching hearts, 10/10 would pull.

Tomes Weapon Notes
・A very amazing banner for sorcs, one of the best books currently in game due to being 2-3T 2 Buff, it also being paired with a 2-3T matk massive tome, both having SB4 makes this banner absolutely worth to pull, currently the best banner this spec, adding to that they are fire and water tomes respectively.
Instruments Weapon Notes
・Niche banner unfortunately, unlike sorcs who would benefit a lot more from having diverse tomes, minstrels are more fixed into their guilds composition and therefore only needs one or the other, on the other hand minstrels with mixed comps will benefit from this banner by a lot due to the massive multiplier and addition of SB4, do inquire about your guild first if you are set on pulling for this banner.
they are water & wind respectively.

Staff Weapon Notes
・This banner is very hard to review due to the nature of Chancellors brain IE, 1.5x disadvantage staff, on one side it is permanently 2T, high SP cost (28?) and niche usage (disadvantage)
on another it is a water staff and you're guaranteed to full heal.
clerics who aren't capping on heals will enjoy its effects, on the other hands clerics who are always over healing wouldn't really see it as an upgrade, instead a downgrade due to higher SP cost,
but with RS4 it would at least mitigate the sp cost, (but if you're already overcapping on heals why would you need more RS) the Fool's Golden staff on the other hand is a very nice, being 2-3T,
I recommend checking the third weapon on the banner first before deciding to pull.]

[Extra notes: I might change or add a few stuff regarding the banner review once I see the additional weapons so stay tuned maybe they might even add cala LL]
