Is the Dark element from DUEL Fragment an additional party buff, or just a modifier to Michele's BB/SBB damage? I'd really love to put Michele and Melchio back on my main team (that I like to keep balanced to be able to do Arena, FH, Quest, Raid, and Trials reliably with minimal switching out of team members {and it works well enough, other than than the device I play on being slow in Raid most of the time}) if it meant I could avoid using Grahdens as a sub unit (him being the only Light+Dark buffer I have).

On that note, I have a Guardian 6* Melchio with some imps on it and an Anima I've not raised, would it be worth raising up the Anima Melchio? I'd be wasting all those formally hard-won imps from before, but a level 100 6* would be some good merit points to partially make up for them now.

My Michele is Lord, but I know type only really matters if you have more than one type to choose from, and I think I already traded in the Breaker I had because her Def is low enough as it is, and she's near max on imps.

Additionally, I'd like to point out, that if you're focusing on collecting and equipping all the crit damage spheres on your team, the crit rate buff most of them give as well is enough to fill in the gap from Michele's rate buff. If you go that route on wanting some crit damage, but not an outright crit squad, you can avoid the need for a crit damage LS to focus on spark or whatever. I assume 7* SBS LS will fill the gap too, as 6* SBS practically do already. In the end though, I like to look at crit buff as more of a nice bonus rather than a focus, with reliable BB spam and elemental buffs being the top of my list, and survivability over OTK any day of the week.
