I just recently got a crash belt and he looks a lot better than shida LS-wise so I’m wondering if I should use crash or any other lead instead of shida Firstly, congrats on getting Belt, of all characters.

Belt is one of the units from the Brave Frontier EU server who was ported over to the Global server. He's a unit whose Leader Skill fully surpasses other nuking leads at the moment. His buffpool is phenomenal, granting, among other things, a 15-20% chance of reactivating a unit's BB/SBB/UBB, which is fairly new and is quite OP. Aside from this, he grants a BBAtk boost (basically boosts damage of BB/SBB/UBB), a buff adding all elements to a unit's attack and a buff boosting said damage (This type of damage is called EWD, standing for "Elemental Weakness Damage"), and much more damage-boosting buffs. I would personally use him as a lead in situations wherein you'd like to deal as much damage as possible.

However, Shida's not "bad" by any means - in his Omni form, he's pretty much like a poor man's Divine Dragon / Regil in terms of Leader Skills, wherein he boosts all parameters while providing Elemental Mitigation. This alone makes him an amazing lead in any other situation where you'd like to survive as long as possible.

As for units who are considered as "meta", just look at the Anniversary Summon banner in the menu. The top units there have been voted by the Brave Frontier populace as "most popular".

I hope this helped! (ovo)/
