I already linked my NNID...
Also, I would kind of hate to use my 5 star Cain - he is beastly!
If you want to clear the story content and then stop playing, don't reroll. If from what you played so far you think you will be playing for months, then honestly I think re-rolling will increase your enjoyment of the game down the line. If you don't have a few good 5* units you will be limited in your Arena scores (which will slowly give you more feathers than you would get otherwise, to get some more 5*) and you will be limited in not being able to complete some of the harder Quests and Grand Hero Battles (where you can get special 4* heroes).
I believe it is possible to unlink a Nintendo ID from the game. If you are re-rolling on the device, you do unfortunately have to delete the game which is rather cumbersome, and you should expect to re-roll A few times until you get a couple of good 5* heroes. It is easier to re-roll on an emulator, then link to a Nintendo account, and then pass it to your device. But it takes some setup.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Cain is not a top unit. He isn't bad and Brave weapon users really shine in the early levels. Also as your only 5* he will seem beastly by comparison against your other units.
As far as Red swords go the competition is insane and he pales in comparison with the other ones you could get.
You will get a free Olivia at 2* eventually and she is a Red Sword with Dance (give another unit another go), she is definitely worth promoting to 4* at least and you probably don't want to have 2 Red swords on your team unless both of them are one of the top tier ones:
Olivia because of dance, Eirika because buffing sword, and in terms of actual hard hitting ones the best are Ryoma because of distant counter sword and great stats, Lucina or Marth because of Falchion effective against dragons and great stats (I think Ryoma is better personally). Eldigan is better if on a Cavalry team as well.
We are also getting a GHB for Xander eventually and he also has a distant counter sword as a cavalry unit so if you have your units ready you can probably get him for free as a 3* with some effort, and maybe even 4* if you got your team to level 40 and they can handle the map.
I got a Camilla and a Takumi early on and I still wonder if I would have been better off re-rolling while those starting banners were up (I could have started with three 5*s instead of getting those 2 from the orbs I accrued clearing the story missions). I only got my fourth and fifth 5* units now, but I really can't complain as all of them are pretty good units (I got Takumi first, then Camilla, then Eirika, and now a Reinhardt and Azura).
