Any thoughts on teams in more general terms? For those who are chugging ahead, or who played the soft-launch, at what point does it become critical to field teams that make use of the sword/archer/spear and elemental etc. systems? I was lucky enough to roll an SS-class ice mage (frog guy) and A-class fire mage (lady drunkard) when I started, so a team of 2x AOE mage, 1x healer, 1x sword, 1x Spear, 1x Arrow seems balanced enough. With the ability to pre-set multiple teams though I'm expecting targeted squads to become a thing at some point.

Since each level tell you what enemy types are on the field, I feel like rotating specialized squads is the "right" thing to do. That said, Grace with Megabow (Area) murders everyone indiscriminately so that may only go so far.

I'm in desperate need of spear users but I don't want to blow all my coins on poo poo monsters or any real money on energy until they do some kind of pull event. I guess just leveling my guys with the best skills in metal zone is what I'm about for now. The metal zone and puppet fight is an awesome alternative to just farming xp and evo mats, even if it ultimately boils down to push button get thing. At least it feels different.

Job up Hammerpact, Dainna, or Ba'gunar with my first 3 sea tears? I have Lewto and a couple good bow users so I wonder how redundant more fire would be. I'm not really sure how Ba'gunar stacks up against other swords and I don't see any particular weakness in Pact other than a second ice spell a little later than Lewto. Thoughts?

Hammerpact or Daiana, Daiana gains a bow when she jobs up, and Hammerpact is just super good

Best Bagunar get in Job 2 is Outflank which is real nice but not as good as more ice spells flying around.

Thanks. With S'naip and O'pari already, do you think just moreeeee iceeeeeee?
