I like how you just assume they're holding them to the standards of global exclusives.

I'll hold them to the standard of batches releasedmonths ago and they'll still be subpar. Melord. Shura. Hisui. Krantz. Lauda. Holia. Would you like me to go on?

Because most of the alien's batch sucks, most of the arena batch is meh, except for Janice and Asuto, and even then Asuto is just like, a Felice with a different buff.

Tazer gives a spark buff which i have more than enough of in Rosalia and Elza - both JP units. Belfura is Belfura, Ragshelm is basically an ugly, earth Zelha so we won't talk about those two, but still.

You can't ignore the fact that the power of new batches has definitely stagnated. Nothing compels me to summon when my months old units can actually do jobs better or equally well. Yes, trying to prevent powercreep is good, but also it's been months and months and months. Are we just gonna wait till 9*s to get units that are really compelling to summon for, really good or useful that take a place in the meta and make other units slightly worse choices?

Do I feel like Arus, Kanon, and Shera are good? Yes. Do I feel like they should be better, especially in Shera's part? Yes. Her SP costs are stupidly high, for one point, and they should've at least upgraded her BC/turn buff from 7*.
