Wishlist/General Summon Suggestions

Banner Hero Yes/No

Lacrima - Solid meta Raid hero with strong DPS for light ranged raid teams, too fragile to really be useful in colo/arena (plus her movement and weapon skill aiming would be particularly bad for arena)

She's a key hero for the ranged light raid team, and if you want to raid and use the light ranged team she's critical for that purpose.

She's also viable in the ranged fire raid team as a replacement for Kamael/Clara/Tinia, or possibly Vishuvac (more of a side-grade, but has reduced complexity compared to Vish)

Useful for veterans/raid focused people not an immediate priority for new players.

Wishlist Suggestions:

This is my personal suggestion list, everyone will have slightly different opinions, and I'll try to update this as things change

Note that while this is a kind of "generally useful" list, you can narrow down your preferred options if we know what kind of heros/weapons you already have, and what you prefer to focus on (Colo? Arena? Story? etc....)

Mix of use heros that might be good to get for various reasons:

GENERAL USE (Usable on multiple teams, and in more than one type of content)

  • Tier 1: Eunha*/Beth/Daisy/Dabin/Idol Eva! (Idol Eva is Free for new players from basic training mission later, don't summon)
  • Tier 2: Kamael*/Gabrielle/Erinia/Noel
    "SOMETIMES" USE (Usable in multiple places, but not often):
  • Tier 3: Haruka!/Kahlor/J

KEY HERO FOR ONE SPECIFIC MODE (Mostly raid, some key heros are "general" heros, those are not included here)

  • Tier 1R: Randi/Lucy!/Orca!/Wakamo!/Yun!/Callie/Lacrima!

SPECIFIC HEROS THAT PAIR WELL WITH THE ABOVE IN SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES:

  • Tier 1S: (Useful in a few cases):Chocolate Collector Ameris*/1st Corp Commander!/Miya*/Yuna/Noel/Clara/Arabelle/Andras*/Beach Rie
  • Tier 2S: (Each Useful in one specific case): Beach Shapira/Lapice! (With two handed sword ex)!/Vishuvac! (With gauntlet)!/Ameris (non chocolate)/Dohwa!/Nari/WinLing!/Plague Doctor!/Lillith!/Tinia*/Scintilla/Saya/Noxia*/Mikke!/Kanna!

Also--Somtimes-Useful rare heros: Knight (with Libera-bow)!, Sometimes Karina! (although not often)

Note that some heros need their exclusive weapons to be useful at all, and some heros just would prefer it for a power increase, also at least one hero (idol eva) doesn't unlock the most valuable portion of her kit until she's been myth evolved (and you've activated her latent awakening that enhances her support ability)

To clarify who needs their exweapon, I've added a symbol after the hero's name:

  • ! This hero is absolutely not useable without their exweapon, they always want to be using it in any/all circumstances
  • * This hero will usually prefer their exweapon (typically in same-element teams) but can be used with other weapons sometimes optimally
  • (No symbol) This hero will use their exweapon whenever possible, it's the best use case for them in all teams they'd be useful in, but if you don't have it, you can make due with another weapon, but it will always be sub-optimal
  • There's no heros who prefer not to have their own ex weapon.
