Well, personally, if you don't have a healer already, go for Altri. Evolving Elaina is a pain in the butt. *cough cough* Took me 44 attempts to get Verdant Relic *cough cough*. And if you aren't a high level, (sorry if you are insulted but I do not know what level you are), you won't evolve Elaina in a long time, and going for the quest in the Raid Battles are a long process to finally reach, but finding the Relic is the hard part. If you are looking at a healer for both, I would do Altri. I am a Earth Mono Team user, and I absolutely like both of the units, but from personal experience, getting a 6/7* Elaina is time consuming.

Here are the pros and cons with both of them. (I will be saying for their maxed stared forms)

Elaina:

Pros: Her leader skill blocks 10% of all non-fixed damage, and also negates all status ailments. And also her Extra Skill, that I believe only affects herself, has the 15% of only taking 1 damage. (I believe she cannot block fixed damage however.) Her BB/SBB is great for healing and offensive turns. Her UBB, that's like, no question. (Dream UBB that finally exist!)

Cons: Evolving her is absolutely time consuming and hard to find/get. She has extremely high cost, but if you can afford it, then this wouldn't have trouble for you. Your Elaina is a lord, and her stats aren't that great. Even though her UBB is fantastic, you will only probably use it once unless you have that item that fills up your Overdrive Bar.

Altri: (Note: I am saying this before his 7* comes out so if you're mistaken that's why)

Pros: His heals are very good and cost low BB. He has a lower Cost Rate. His 7* version is coming out soon, so just keep him if he does become a god like *cough cough* Elimo. His stats are pretty good for a lord, including if he's a 6*. Can remove all status ailments like Elaina but also negates them for an extra 3 turns. His Leader Skill, which gives BC a 75% more chance of dropping could be cool if you're looking for a lot of love. (Heh.)

Cons: Altri cannot do much damage and is actually kind of like a tree... Harmless unless if he falls on you. His Cost Rate will be a lot when he is a 7* though. He has no UBB/Overdrive Mode, and if you do get a 7* Elaina, her set is pretty much the same to Altri's UBB.

Hopefully this has been a good help to you and have fun playing this game, and good luck on whoever unit you decide on!

Oh one last thing, I would go for Elaina if you do have the time, patience, and supplies, but Altri if you are looking for a simple healer.
