Huh, Zalvard is interesting. Regil is spark and BB attack, and light monotype AoE nuker.

Totally called Valen being a mitigator, should have made a bet on it. He looks useful, but not worth summoning for. However he's made fire monotype more viable now that he has BB management boosts (only other option for mitigator is Rain, and only other BC/damage taken is on Malef). This paired with Lava for BC/Spark and Alessa/Azurai/Rain for relative buffs can make an extremely solid core for a mono-fire squad, with some of the highest damage potential in the game.

Example of fire monotype squad

Azurai- lead/Valen/Lava/Ciara/Arus/Shura- friend

This squad lacks HoT and BB regen, however. There are still no fire units with HoT.
