When I say crappy, I mean in relative terms. In the current meta, 5* units are very bad compared to the top, unlike the 6* era, where they could come in a close second. I started playing Brave Frontier a bit before the first Sphere Founders batch, so I didn't really have those older units (though my summons brought pain upon me).

When the 7* Starters were released, I was already over level 100 (can't remember a closer number), so it was pretty simple to get a Mecha to evolve, so yeah, I didn't have few resources and the like, though when I had just started I did have poor resources: Eze lead, two healers, two King Sparkies, all the way to the middle of Morgan.
