Hi guys,

So I went to unlock Yuan Shao's banner today cause I thought it looked pretty good with 1x S, 3x A and 1x B units but found out it's actually a really crappy banner because of the following reasons.

First, the double arrow paths on Shen Pei and Ju Shou mean you need to unlock both prereq paths to unlock those ones, so basically need to unlock a lot more than I first realized. So watch out for those double arrow paths before deciding if you want to unlock.

Secondly, and worse since I can't see to find any warning for it, both Tian Feng and Wen Chou can only be unlocked for Gold Coins, about 5500 each! I'm really curious if anyone knows of any visual clues for this before you get to them and how common this is on other banners.

So I ended up burning over 1500 Jade only to get about half the good commanders I expected to and thought I'd give others a heads up. Also curious if anyone else has some other anecdotal advice from other banners they've unlocked!
