Now that Geranium's reissue event has started, I've grown curious. How many of you, who already posses a larger collection of 5* knights, still use Geranium?

On the one hand she's a event knight who are often considered as weaker than the premium gacha knights. So she has for example a weaker def buff which furthermore does seem barely helpful at all in a skill activation buff squad.
On the other hand though she does have the skill activation buff which I assume is at least in the top 3 of best abilities(?). This ability is also not affected from the fact that she's a event knight. And her stats are okay-ish I'd say.

I'm still using her because of her 10 planets :3

I still use her and I plan to get another maxed one with that reissue just for her activation skill ability ('cause I still not have Justicia or Kale or any other activation waifu). I even plan to get maxed futur event girl and use her for the same reason.

And when I got her first time I found her so meh, worst event girl I ever had. Now she is top 3 event girl with Lavender and Edelweiss.

I replaced her with Justica just last week, but if I hadn't pulled Justica, I'd still be using her. And if I could set up a fifth squad for my units, she'd be the first one to add to it, before several rainbows I currently have benched.

Trigger rate for the whole team is a very strong passive, especially when you combine several girls with that (or similar team-wide) passives. Moonvine, Tachibana and Geranium (all three are event girls!) make for a pretty decent start of a trigger team. Add Cymbidium or Fritillaria (maybe Gerbera as a placeholder, if you like her) when you get them. Once you get more girls increasing trigger rate for the entire team (like Apple or Justica), then you can start replacing them in the order Moonvine - Tachibana - Geranium.

The only reason I picked Justica over Geranium, is that Justica's special is an AO, while Geraniums' special is a single target attack.
Placing three regular trigger-girls (1.2 increase to trigger rate) and Cymbidium in the same squad, results in girls who have a trigger rate of 30% (just level up their skill a few times with blooms) to practically ALWAYS do their special attack on the first turn. Even event bosses (non-raid) rarely survive that first turn.

First turn burst op.

I'm still using her as well (as you can see), even though I don't really like her character design.
I'd change her to any other + activation rate knight, but the only ones I have are those with a time-based activation buff (Moonvine, Tachibana, etc).

I think you can make a case that in certain situations, you may do better with a girl with a strong attack all skill rather than piling on another trigger girl particularly if it's Geranium or Cyrtanthus as they have single target 2.2-2.3 damage skills. The differences aren't enormous, and may be unimportant if you wipe out all pests in one round anyways.
I need to start levelling up Cymbidium soon just to see what I can do with her. In my regular squads though she'd need to be on the same team as Alpinia to have much chance of keeping up.

Wished I didn't waste a Gold Skillblossom on event girls last year since I didn't know they get revivals

I started in July 2016, so I missed Lech-chan or whatever name is. I did manage to get Geranium and Hypericum but not perfect units



I still use her since she's my highest lvl unit

At this time, using tactics is useless because I can brute force through everything currently available. I can do 14-5 and not lose a girl, same with all event maps. that being said I am kind of envious because being able to use tactics sounds like it would make the game a bit more fun than just watching super powered knights cut through any enemy like warm butter haha.

After ages, I'm finally close to maxing my 3 counter-attack girls, Rose, Mirabilis and Hypericum. (Dunno why it took me so long, somehow i always had other girls to lvl :P)
Now I'm thinking about, which two other knights I want to put into their squad. My current 5* knights with a def buff are the following: Camelia, Oxalis, Waterlily, Mountain Lily, Star Lily, Southern Cross, Fatsia, Lena and Lily Rubellum.
Which 2 of those would you pick? (I tend to the first 4 in the list)

I might also add my bride Oncidium to the team for the attack debuff, but I'm not sure yet if I'll put her in that team, so just ignore that option for now.
Furthermore are there any other good combinations for counter girls ecxept def buff, (attack buff) and attack debuff? (I'm aware that Southern Cross skill debuff can either be good or bad depending if the enemys skill is aoe or single target. But for now i value it as a nagative ability, since i prefer more aoes from bosses)
