Please stop judging the new 7* units like this. Just because they didn't meet your expectations, that doesn't mean they suck. I actaully like their kits. I've wanted more unique units with unique abilities. If units just kept outclassing each other, then the game would be more about "who has the most OP units" instead building a squad with what you have. Orna gives a rare buff that only one other unit has. She also comes with a crit buf and elements. She is more useable in crit resist content than other crit buffers. Shida is awesome as now is has elements and can attack. You won't always need those elements, but they are useful. I believe Lucina's greatest asset (outisde arena) is her Heal over time. It's just as strong as Pheonix. She also has elements. She is a great unit to take to fight Beiorg. Her hit count can be useful in certain places. Zelnite is perfect just that way he is. When I build squads, I end up forgetting a BC buff. Using Zelnite opens up new squad possibilities. Now (instead of Paris) you can take Zephyr, Haile, and other stat booster with other abilities. You now have a BC and BB when attack unit together. This is a very strong combination. Just look at Libera and Paris. He also has OD fill rate, extra hit counts, an ability to boost the BB gauge. Then he's going to be bulky thanks to his ES. These units are great.
