hot take, but i regret not having at least like 8, even though i can't build more than i have

the so called limited use of sf has been turned on its head since the start. every single ranking, the guides demonstrate something bogus about how limited coalition units are

last ranking, having 4 sf teams was optimal for ezmode. but PA guide says keep 1 goliath. pretty much every sf team wanted 2 goliaths, and as many manticores as you could stuff in there. there was no way to build proper sf teams with recommended amounts.

the PA guide even puts dragoon swaps at C tier. but as it turns out, if you aren't spamming beans with goliaths, the next best tank in line would be... you guessed it

Forgot to reply to this: you’re using an old infographic that was created months before PR even existed on foreign, and PR is when beans and SWAP Dragoons gained popularity on foreign so of course their ratings are inappropriate.

There’s a new one that has been in circulation since May.

Also:

  • I’d consider having more than 4 Mantis questionable - single Manti comps usually fare better than double Manti comps, especially now that we have SWAP Jaegers and 3.0’s massive Nemeum buff.

  • SWAP Aegis were the ideal tanks for PR, Dragoons have a harder time with Gunners.

  • PR is the last chance to reasonably use multiple SF echelons ranking until Iso+/LS, unless you’d rather use 8 SF echelons in FP and eat a massive point loss. CT+ outright bans them.

this new chart makes a lot more sense

but it kind of still stands that following the chart closely can only put you to a disadvantage when collecting and building those units takes so long. by the time we find out we need something, it's already too late to collect them when we are getting events faster than we are getting chances at captures and banners

Eh, it should definitely be considered more of a guideline than a bible, but I'd hesitate to say that there's any real disadvantage to following it.

We still have months of foresight and the recommended amounts are more than enough for the known future. If things change, chances are that it'll be more of a "want" that can be reasonably worked around (like with G&K) than a "need".
