I'm still in the process of leveling up some of the units, but I think this is a pretty balanced team and I am already putting it to use farming the winter dungeons in the meantime. What are your thoughts on it?

(Leader,A)Zeruiah, (B)Reeze, (B)Zenia, (L)Shera, (L)Bestie

There are some flaws that jump out to me though. Bestie's BB maintenance is really overkill for most content, but I figure she'll be nice for making up the difference against BC resistance. (Although not too helpful in the case of the Highest Elgif Vortex with their lack of spamming attacks, not that it's worth doing Lv.7 over Lv.5 anyway.) Also, tiny chance of minor conflict between Bestie's BB and Shera's SBB. Furthermore, having my Spark damage and BB Atk buffs coming from a sub unit limits my options for optimal Friends/Helpers a bit. Lastly, may be lacking a bit of extra layers of general defense after getting used to using more protection in addition to mitigation.

For reference, my previous and now secondary team was (Leader,L)Michele, (A)Melchio, (A)Quaid, (L)Aaron, (A)Tidon ...(All maxed out, including some somewhat decent Elgifs, but none quite so overwhelmingly great that I'm in a rush to think about transferring them just yet.)

Some other options I considered when building this team included: Pulling my (B)Lava out of retirement as who to fill Bestie's spot. Not including a status nullifier and just equipping 3 Cosmic Dusts and a couple other premium status protection spheres to the whole team instead. (Tempting, since losing boosted HP from my previous team leader will take some getting used to/need to come from my friends when I need it.) Also Aaron, or (A)Zeldeus instead of Shera. Maybe could have gone with (G)Ultor, (G)Reis, (L)Fadahl, (L)Medina, (A)Zedus, and actually using 6* Deemo was very tempting in the end.

Ultimately, my final decision ended up coming down to mainly two factors, maintaining a rainbow team even without any LS requirement for it, and trying to go with units that have the most SBB hits reasonably possible. The Sparking. So much Sparks. Loving the Sparks.

So, how do you feel this team will pan out? How do you think it compares to my old team? I was routinely able to make my way through most types of content with the old one, will this team be as flexible? Any other thoughts?

(If any of you are using Leaders you think would mesh well with my team as I continue to use Zeruiah as my Lead even after the winter event is over, I might share my ID later if asked. I don't like to initiate friendcode solicitation really normally, and I'd prefer to have time to go through my old friend request notices to clear them out first anyway.)
