Goal: General. I have lots of potential in the many units i have, but suck at squad building, so i just want the best use out of my roster. I would like to learn what goes into building a squad, so if it's not trouble, if you could leave a footnote explaining your decision, that'd be grand!

Units-

Fire: Owen, Alessa, Valen, Rugahr, Zegstia, Shura, Amus, Azurai, Ciara

Water: Selena, Millie, Melord, Zeleste, Wintia, Mariela, Vaisal

Earth-:Lance, Felice, Hisui, Wannahon, Nimune, Fei&Fang, Daze, Phileine, Nyala, Hetepheres

Thunder: Eze, Behemoth, Rayla, Razak, Ordine, Eerikki, Zora, Midoriya

Light: Lara, Lauda, Garrell, Reseus, Alan, Atro, Ionia, Mora, Solos, Allanon, Persenet

Dark: Mifune, Grahdens, Sonia, Shion, Velma, Kikuri, Dirk Rezo, Keres

Current squad: Resues(L), Zeleste, Eerikki, Sonia, Hisui

Current issue: I feel like there are many better squad builds using my roster, and would like to optimize my units. Hullo there! (^^)/

I'll assume that all of these units are at their respective Omni forms. If you have any further queries, don't hesistate to ask!

Re: Making Squads

A basic squad is made out of 6 integral buffs.

A) Mitigation: Arguably the most important buff in-game, since it makes your squad survive longer. Extra layers of mitigation also help - think things like critical damage nulls, stat debuffs, and element based damage reductions.

B) HC Management: Instant heals, HoT, and HC when attacked. Ailment management buffs, such as ailment nulls and cleanses, are also included.

C) BC Management: Makes filling your BB gauge faster. The most effective are BC during Spark and BC when attacked, but BC over TIme (BCoT) and instant BC fill work too.

D) Stat boosts: Attack/Defense/Recovery stat boosts, stat conversions, mono-element stat boosts, and stat boosts to self. FYI, these all stack with one another.

E) Damage boosts: Makes your DPS skyrocket. Includes things like BBAtk boosts, Spark Damage boosts, Critical Hit Rate & Critical Damage boosts, and so on.

F) Miscellaneous: Pretty much everything else. Ailment infliction, OD management buffs, DoT, and so on.
