Now that I no longer need the Abels off of the Tidus banner, I'm seriously contemplating continuing to bank tickets all the way to the first Veritas banner. After playing on JP for a while I really understand how big of a deal the gacha change truly is. Been getting so goddamn many troll golds on my farm accounts lately and it's super frustrating. Looking at the top tier units in the near future:
Orlandu - Orlandu is the gold standard for top tier dps. Dark Veritas might be more powerful in a vacuum, but Excalibur is super easy to get compared to Deathbringer. There is finally a new dark element weapon from a 4* base on the KG banner, but that's a long way off. Orlandu is right around the corner, but his banner is truly awful. Lawrence and Ovelia have decent TMs, but Soleil is a garbage unit with a garbage TM.
Eileen - Eileen's recent enhancements put her right at the top of the game with Orlandu. Drawback is the severe lack of earth weapons. Aside from her TM there is a good earth katana and a decent earth sword from events, and an earth hammer from a TM. Sadly, her banner is pretty bad too. Soze is a mediocre dps/tank with a good TM but the other two TMs are garbage.
Tidus - Tidus is at the very bottom of the top tier. Similar scarcity of good water element weapons and to make things worse his water imperil is tied to his LB. Although his meter charges fast as hell, it still won't always be full on turn 2. He's also difficult to chain with because his attack hits so fast. That being said, he's still a top tier dps and he's on an amazing banner, particularly if you need dual wield. He shares the banner with Wilhelm, who is a fantastic draw tank, Grace who is a garbage unit with a solid caster/healer TM, some rambo looking chick with a high atk gun, and Abel, a 3* base whose TMR is an 82 atk dagger that gives DW.
Not gonna go any farther than that since that covers probably two months or longer.
