I've seen a few posts on here about the need for balanced teams, but there's no tool in the game that makes balanced teams for you. I've tried to figure out a quick way to make a balanced team so I could keep it up to date as my knights grew in power. This is the best I was able to find. So, I thought I'd share it here:

Starting point (Auto Setup - Total Power High-Low):

->Open Spoiler<-

Move the characters as follows (Sorry for MS Paint skills):

->Open Spoiler<-

Final result:

->Open Spoiler<-

This distributes your characters by power into snaked columns instead of parallel rows. So, each team has a powerful leader followed by weaker characters as it gets to the back of the team. If the adjustments above seem too complex, you can also manually copy from an auto setup group by reading the rows from the auto group and copying into columns on the manual group. I found that took more time. So, I use the method above.

Has anyone found an easier way?

I don't sort them by power. I sort them by attack since i want teams with equal killing potential. They'll generally get the same survival. As such i just manually put them into groups by sorting the character section by atk value and putting the highest atk girl in each group until all groups are filled.

Cool, I'm going to try that out for a few days and see how it feels. Thanks!

Personally I find it handy to have 2 powered teams and 2 less powered teams

...Also I find it pushes me to build depth into squads BUT having 2 squads I can count on and some that are there as path switchers or 'only needs to kill one pest if it goes down the right path' teams has worked well - so far

Just adding this here,

If you make sure to have at least 1 of each type in each team the fights go much faster. Not having someone to combat that weakness slows you down I have found.

Take your top units that you know are your best units divide them first then see which team is lacking in whatever stat you want to balance (speed or power) and add subsequent units accordingly. You should do it on your second squad if you want balanced teams though since squad team 1 is what is sent out and you have enough squads to make sure squad 1 team 1 is the best squad you can make to send out.

It's cool that your squads are well balanced in power, but they really aren't when it comes to speed. I always try to balance out power and speed. I think it's so annoying when you're trying to complete a stage but one squad is too slow to get to a fight before the other units arrive at the finish line (or if one of the squads are too fast and finish the stage before you get everything).
I have to admit I don't have any strategies for balancing out my squads, though, I just do it manually and it takes a long time lol :x
but I hardly ever change it, just update it whenever I get a new 4* or 5* unit so it's not that bad

Regarding balancing teams using leftovers after putting the best girls in the helper squad, why not use a different squad page entirely?

Page 1 has only the helper squad, filled with your best girls.
Then use page 2 or onwards for your own mission usage, balanced/sorted to however you like.
Just remember to choose the correct squad page before you go into a mission.

Balanced speeds are only necessary for 3 medal clears. If you're experience grinding, then it really doesn't matter. Where you mostly should be concerned are event maps where you repeat for currency gathering. On some of those maps, completely balancing teams by power or attack is detrimental to actually clearing the map. Never mind 3 medal clears, you want efficiency, and you want to make sure you're not going to hit a cockblock on RNG.

In other words, you should really make use of the other 5 alliance slots you're given when creating compositions based on event maps.

mhm, I've organized my page like this

1 - trophy case, highest power to show off in the rankings with the best ones in the helper squad
2 - balanced, with roughly even power and speed
3 - event team
4 - 1 really strong and fast team, with the others balanced
5 - waifu team
6 - raid boss team, just a single 2* girl
