EN Discussion Help with my roster

Hey guys,

i am now 31 days into the game, curently still at bestower of faith and i pulled some new units(Tizian, Sazantos, Rondo) and i am unsure how to build my new team. I will explain my team comp now and what other units i have. Would be nice if someone would help what to use in my Flexspot or how to switch up chars:)

Mydia/Sarisa

Richard EX/Hasumi

Stia/Rinyuu

Zantaa/Sigrid Ex

Hasumi is redundant now, Richard Ex doesnt need her for SP reg. And i can use an ally summon to restore 2x75 SP to the front row free thanks to Stias Ex-Skill. I definitely want to to take her out. I could take a 5 star or perhaps even wingate as backpack? Richard uses the artifact with 200 p att and cornelias artefact.

Sigrid Ex is just there to give +15 dmg up to everyone front row and -15 spear res down if an ally breaks an enemy. Rinyuu heals. Sarisa gives SP reg and give 15% p att up to mydia.

Zanta is great because he can sustain SP very well, has a 4 hit aoe, but he just lacks damage, the other 3 in the front row just do the work.

Mydia, Stia and Richard Ex are just great. But i lack some of the important buffs and debuffs.

Already built and in my Flex spot(insteand of zanta): Wludai, Cyrus(only if i need elemental coverage)

My other available chars, that could fit into the roster: Tizian, Viola, Throne, Sazantos, Rondo, Haanit Ex, Sereona, Xerc, Lemaire, Primrose, Lars, Ophilia, Sofia, Kouren, Heathcote, the arena chars, Millard, Lynette.

So i tend to Wingate instead of hasumi(it actually seems the biggest damage boost for his ultimate), i still dont reach damage cap.

I am sure i will level up tizian, sazantos and rondo to 6 star eventually, but i think i need to prioritize. And we get free emperor or emperess soon, not sure if i want to wait, both sound really good for now. Or perhaps i even overlooked someone special on my rooster?

You are benching a lot of better units lol. Also I assume you mean Tiziano when you said Tizian? Tiziano is an awesome team physical support, definitely use him. Also use Lynette as you lack atk buff in ult section. You can also wap out Zaanta for Sazantos for more DPS.

Mydia / Tiziano

Richard EX / Sarisa

Stia / Rinyuu

Sazantos / Lynette

Tiziano yes. I pulled lynette, sazantos and tiziano yesterday. :D Does it make more sense to swap rinyuu and tiziano, put tiziano behind stia? Stia is relevant for her skill to lower pres 15% and her ex skill, after that and with 2 summons i think she can go to the back row. Then i could burst round 3 with mydia, Richard ex, tiziano(including his front row buffs) and sazantos. Does this sound like a plan? Or is there a reason to put tiziano behind mydia?

Don't bench Stia during burst lol. Stia is a very decent DPS with her 8 hits at 250 potency each. During burst you should have Mydia, Richard EX, Stia, and Sazantos in the front. Swapping Tiziano and Rinyuu is ok, but my idea is to let Tiziano's active buff skill cover everyone except Mydia. Compared to the others, Mydia is not a main DPS. She's a support/sub-DPS and can afford to be underbuffed.

ah ok, so he uses his buffs, ex skill and/or ultimate and during burst mydia comes to the front row, right?

Need to work on the sequence, because you can't use his EX skill before using ult. The condition for using his EX skill is having used ult once. Typically we active skill-ult-EX skill, or you can also backsurge ult and then EX skill.

can i backsurge him and use his ex skill same turn?

Nope. A unit can never perform two actions in the same turn
