So I probably fucked up by not keeping Angelica/Sigret earlier.. haha. I also had a Destina/Dominiel pull as well last night but was shooting for a Sez or Ravi like some of the guides said. Cheers for the intel amigo
Archates and Angelica are pretty even. I personally like Angelica a little more just because shields let you prep for damage and don't waste healing. But single turn immortality, and cleansing debuffs is huge (I was lucky enough to get multiple copies of both--haven't rolled another nat 5 star yet, but got lucky with healers at least). Angelica's immunity is really nice, especially for Arena but in a lot of fights, debuff application and mob speed and other factors make it so cleansing is better, and Archates can do that every 3 turns. (Angelicas group heal is every 4--but Angelica's single target is 2 turns and heals another low target, where archetes is 3 turns).
Sigret is really good, better than Sez or Ravi in some cases (Single target high end mobs or arena). But people say go for Ravi or Sez because they are fodder farming machines, and you need a fuck ton of fodder to get anything done. So they really, really hope at the start of the game, while Sigret shines more mid-to late game.
Cidd's really good, though. He's one of the better 4 stars. He's as good as a lot of 5 stars. He comes with one of the most important debuffs in the game, defense break and self buffs speed--these are both huge. He's extremely versatile, works in PvP and PvE really well, so he's a great character to start with. But he's also easier to get than any 5 star would be, so people tend to focus rerolls on 5's. (Only draw back on Cidd is he's earth, and a couple early farm targets, like Wyveren, are fire, which makes things a little annoying.)
