Depends on what you want Quaid for. I'm going to be using Michele as my leader, but can't think of any other 7* units that give Water, Earth, and Thunder buffs together without having to use two units. ...I still wish I had a Quaid of my own. The choice between either using Aniel on my team or hoping enough Friends lead with Quaid is not fun, and continuing to use Aniel is only going to get harder as the power creep continues. Or, maybe not, the fact that his buff lasts three turns is SO handy in FH at the very least, and everywhere else too. But that's only thanks to Buffer+Heresy. Maybe continuing to equip him with the next best Status Orb will keep him viable (although I'd love it if his lore continued somehow to give him 7*, as I think it's technically open for it, as unlikely as it'd be).

Anyway, what I'm really saying is that I hope I still have some friends with Quaid lead Helper Teams after 7* Michele comes out, as that's literally the only thing I could not be excited about for her arrival. Really though, Mono-Water with Selena (toting a Cosmic Dust or Impiety for extra insurance) is probably the best Arena team for now, so if that's all Quaid is to someone, that's not the best claim to fame to have. Ultor has single target BB, so I don't even consider him all that great for Arena in the first place. Angel Idol ES is only truly nice to have as a backup chance to AOE (S)BB next turn if you don't get turn 2 kill thanks to bad RNG.

Man, I can't keep on the subject of Michele herself this comment... But, yes, she should be an awesome Arena lead, among other things. While her crit buff could be higher, it's just high enough to pair well with higher tier crit enhancing Spheres (those with a chance buff equal to what her ES activation Sphere gives her) and/or a SBS leader/helper if someone happens to use them. Although, Geldnite Axe is the easiest to get of those Spheres, and still takes quite a bit of work for just that one. (P.S. Never mind, looks like the crit buffing spheres got nerfed last month to the point that they're just not worth wasting a slot on.)
