i dun find his sparking to be a weakness... it's actually helpful to have pause to allow other units' attack animation to catch up so that they can actually spark better together, since he's the first you would want to trigger SBB.

Like i mentioned, Reis main advantage over Griff, besides dmg, is his usage in FH / FG pts farming with Kira led dark/light teams (optimised teams can go for 4.5 - 5m pts on FG, 20m pts on FH mid). On such teams there will likely be Alice (thus fulfilling the Ares buff), and getting to SBB every turn shouldn't be a problem.

Finally for other content (like multi element raids), if you need more than fire/water element add, Griff wld need at least Libera or Rhoa to complement to start being more useful than Reis & Quaid. Personally since I dun have any of the expeditors yet, Reis is what works best for me on my team of Zenia, Quaid, Alice, Ultor, Edea (or some dmg/bb filler if mitigating not required). And i daresay it has higher dmg output overall too since Reis ES + Quaid on Spirit Tiara. Of course, if one uses Griff alongside Rhoa/Libera, by all means go ahead. Just dun blindly dismiss Reis' power for a few buffs that can be obtained somewhere else (that does not sacrifice team setup).
