Ok. Key factors to max damage is get as big a mix of every type of damage from what you have, while having lead skills that are "BB Spam" types, which mean they help you fill your squad's Brave Burst bars faster and more often.

1) Elza: previously was meta, but still super good. Dark unit with fast high 33 hit count SBB that has a +70% spark damage buff. She also has the BB spam lead type of old "increase BB fill rate" by 50%.

2) Rize: in the long run, other units u may summon will be better, but that doesn't mean she's trash. Her damage is still insanely high, and is one fo the few 7 stars you do have. As on her data sheet, high damage ratios. You should probably activate her BB/SBB last after you've initiated the buffs form the others except on turns you have all your buffs activated already.

3) Grahdens: Currently only falls short of meta/god tier due to having 6 star stats, but all around amazing Leader Skill. He goes back to Meta tier on later content as he is in Japan due to all the Dark/Light element bosses. IF u have the now available 6 star Grahdens, def use him as either defense or general stat. Since he gives your entire squad light/ dark element dmg buff, that means worst case they deal normal damage, best case extra damage. Never half element damage.

4)Rowgen: He is the first thunder "boss killer" type that started with the Lilith unit. Automatically refills his SBB when you use it. His damage ratio is high even for a 6, and its a SINGLE hit. Meaning, you make everyone else spam their attacks then activate his to land a spark for massive damage, but again is better suited on single target or when you need to peel multiple bosses down (like Sefia / Kikuri level 3 GGC challenge).

5) Rashil is a much older unit so I would pass on Rashil for now. Don't delete. You never know if/when Gumi will create a 7 star form for other older units. Elimo is superior even in her 6 form due to her Defense buff.

6) Orwen was considered very underwhelming vs other units at the time of his release, and even compared to some before, but he's the only fire unit you mention that you have. Also every unit has use and he gives an Attack buff on his SBB (although 70%, whereas higher grade ones like Michelle 6 star give 115%), but some is better than none, along with being a fire damage to your squad for now.

7) Kajah: At the time of his release  had the highest damage output on his SBB, but no utility effects and terrible LS. Since you have Grahdens to grant Light/Dark buff and multiple units that do dmg WHILE giving some kind of utility buff, I would skip this guy.

8) Ciara: She was Global Halloween unit. Usually the gimmick units are underpowered, and Ciara is such the case. She is fire and boost elemental weakness but only of the 4 main elements. Her BB and SBB give a higher Attack buff than Orwen and like Orwen her SBB also gives ignore defense. I would use her in place of Orwen.

Your Lead: Grahdens or Elza Lead (swap as you need: Grah gives general stat and dmg reduction vs dark/light and his 6 star also gives 6 BC fill / turn for 3 turns, while Elza lead has +50% BC fill rate so can more frequently keep your BB bars filled ideally every turn except when you fight single enemies).

If questing or low content you outclass or can One or Two turn kill, go all damage. If you need some tankiness swap in your least contributing (or weakest unit vs boss) with Elimo (hopefully 7 star) for her UBB.

SUMMARY:

1) For General / Easy  content: Elza (Leader), Grahdens, Elza, Rize, Rowgen, Ciara + your friend lead. Swap Grahdens for Leader if needing more tankiness over raw dmg.

2) Medium or Harder content: Elza or Grahdens lead (consider above), Elimo, Rize, and either Rowgen for single, or Ciara for aoe + Attack buff. I would generally go with Rowgen if you are dealing with content you will take several turns / long time. Or pick whoever is not weak vs the boss fight (Ciara weak to water, Rowgen weak to Earth). Generally Rowgen's dmg is much higher I'd most likely pick him since Rize does SO much.

Warning: Do not include Bargus WITH Elimo. The Buffs of the same type cancel the previous one you activate. So if you activate Bargus' 25% mitigation, AFTER elimo's 50%, you'd lose elimo's with Bargus's half strength one. Same with his Defense buff overriding Elimo's 140% SBB defense. In the future, you CAN stack a BB/SBB effect with an UBB (meaning Bargus' 25% BB mitig with Elimo's UBB 75%), but thats not coming for a long time.
