Fully agree.
Honestly though I think most of the maxed out 5* with equipment upgraded and personal earring evolved, are often times better of as 5*, then promoting them to 1/1 6*.
My Nadeshiko (Pink Miko.... Pink....what the fuck, who the fuck, why the fuck.....haaaaaaah....ok I am calm now....Pink, wtf...sigh*) for example is fulla maxed and she in this form is more of a wrecking ball than she would be after promoted to 6*, because with all the items and 5/5 skill, with already very solid statline further buffed by Ampys (only the basic ones, the big Ampys are very limited and as such go to my 6*) already performs over any expectations.
Thats why I am not in favor of devs. pushing the 5* promo before the lower tier girls, because for them the Promo actually does a lot more than for the 5*, even more so the maxed out ones. Plus Gold tier girls are the most numerous so this will take 4ever with new ones adding onto the pool every 2 weeks. They should have just go and focus solely on 2/3/4* girls first, because all 3 tiers of them combined are still smaller in numbers than the 5*.
Do one of each tear each time a new promo is released, and after they are done go with the Golds.
Haaaaaah.......sigh. Why Japs, why... Japanese are supposed to be smart, logical people >___>
