But Kanon is more flexible. If you want a 6 element squad, you need really flexible units for difficult content. What if the only healers you have are water (assuming you have Kaito leading)? What if you only have Darv as mitigation (for Meiko lead)? Oh, you wanted to use Tridon, or Kurt, or Tazer? Too bad, you're leading Kaito. You want to use Alpha, Claire, or Vargas? Meiko's not letting that happen.

The buffs might be better from the 6 element leaders, but the 5 element leaders allow for more flexible squads (e.g. You can actually use Ulkina and Darv together). Then Leaders like Alpha and Kanon have no restrictions for their buffs, and you can make essentially any squad you want.
