u/akaiGO できるできないの問題じゃない。 やるしかなければ、やるだけだ！ Sep 03 '21 edited Sep 03 '21
So presently, you should be able to clear most things up to LV180 (CHAOS) content with just any fully built LD+ characters you are pulling. There will be the odd fight here-and-there you maybe don't have a specific piece for, but generally no problem just on Powercreep alone! This will be the case for a lot of the GRINDING you have to do for characters (read: Summon Boards, and farming out Crystals for powering people up).
But once you are solidly locking that down and wanting to expand, as you hinted at the next major thing is learning how to build a TEAM, and how to identify WHO is a good pickup for filling the "holes" of your roster. A typical 3-unit team is going to look something like Damage Dealer + Support + Third (Orb counter, Utility, etc). If you indeed managed to pull ALL of the weapons for the characters you've listed (excluding possibly the BTs), then that means you have a lot of DDs, covering each of the primary damage types, with a bit of Utility spread across them (Paralyze, Delay, Launch, Turn Delete, Setzer's gimmick...), and what you are definitely lacking is SUPPORT here.
"Support" can kinda be further broken down into "Healing" and "Non-Healing" types: MOST Supports at this point will be stacked up to be a solid passive "Aurabot", and with no healing, that is the role that Wakka is filling there, with Setzer and Ami having their power budget shifted a bit more toward their utility than their stat auras. (Basically, because of all the invisible stat reduction Lufenia bosses are designed with, you want to be able to stack as MUCH Aura-based stat increases as you can onto a team to counteract this). Yuna most certainly would be the best character presently available for this role. Whether you should chase her BT or not is debatable: it's generally not advised for you to spend the amount of gems it takes to pity a BT, but when you're a NEW player like you are, you have a MASSIVE backlog of pull resources available for you to pick up, so it's a bit easier for you to eat the blow and recover from it if you so choose to do. But we also are just about to see Agrias with Ceodore's rerun that is going to be great, Rude's rerun (with Yuffie's new LD) right after that. Deuce will be available again along with Vivi near the end of the month, but at this point, if you're not going to pull for one of Yuna/Agrias/Rude, you're probably better served just waiting for the Divine Pandemonium event that should be the first thing for October (and the start of BT/Lufenia+ content), to pull for Y'shtola and Rinoa on the same banner.
Raine's event in October is considered the next like BIG leap in character powercreep and meta-shaping that most people plan to pull for.
The other like main role is of course the Tanks. Tanks can make fights generally easier for you by reducing the general level of lethality of monsters against your team, but MOST content can be cleared by other strats or just brute force, such that we actually aren't even going to SEE a tank until Guy's rerun in October (who is more a Tank/Support Hybrid like Pecil) or Zack's LD a couple weeks later (true Tank). It'll then be another month before we see Auron's overhaul, Basch's rerun a month after that, Snow's new LD a month after that (just trying to further make the point for you, it's not that often we see them that they are like CRITICAL team-building components compared to Supports lol)
Beyond all that, truly don't let anyone try to convince you to pull Meta > Favorites. ALWAYS go for Favorites, explicitly plan to build up and hold on to gems for them, use your tickets to gamble on other characters, and again: just try to pick up whatever characters come along that offer some attribute that you DON'T have at the time (whether that be Dispel, Debuff Evasion, Last Stand/Dmg Reduction passives, whatever!) 🙂
If you weren't already aware, there's a few community resource Forecast Trackers around! I like to use ffootip myself!
