Initial plan is to get Cattleya for looks. I probably should see skills and stuff as I can actually choose the 6* but I doubt I can convince myself to do that.

Nah man, don't go for abilities. Its all about the waifus. I'm going for Kerria regardless of her stats and abilities.

As a newbie/lowbie which 6* would you all recommend as your first (ie best/most useful skills)? Haven't really looked at any of them yet so no Waifu currently among the 6* for me. Gonna definitely get me one. Just don't know which yet?

Well I recommend to decide which damage type you want. There are very good, and there are amazing girls for each type. So decide what your party needs the most, and depending of that we might be able to give you an advice or two.

Dendrobium and Cherry are currently most useful/powerful.

Nerine has the ignore movement effects passive, which is useful. But not really amazing.

Sakura becomes hilariously broken when bloomed, but we shouldn't get that for at least 6-10 more months.
Honorable mention to bloomed Daisy also.

Overall, I recommend picking based on looks. You'll be a lot happier that way. All of the rainbows are pretty strong in their own way.

Alpinia is also a strong contender cause she has Speed Versatility and her Bloomed Form is also quite Powerfull.

It also depends which strategy he likes...Also waifuism is a big factor as well

Defensive or Offensive? Skill Activation Squad? Debuff Squad? Speedy Pest Controll Squad? Counterattack Squad?

We need some more Information what type of Girls and Gameplay he likes

Honorable mention what.

Bloomed Daisy trumps most of the other bloomed forms. 1.65x skill boost vs 1.2x, plus a +10% crit rate for three teammates (vs. Mei's party-wide +15%).

Bloomed Daisy is only first turn, meanwhile Sakura also gives a 35% damage boost to RB. I value Sakura higher.
Daisy, I rank second. So yes, I do agree that she is better than most other rainbow blooms. I didn't imply she was terrible at all, which is why she got an honorable mention.

I'm going for Anemone either way, simply because she'd fit perfectly in my counter squad. 100% counter ability + DEF buff for even more counter damage + multi-hit AOE? Hell, yes! I just haven't heard of any blooming benefits for her yet, but in a counter squad, she's definitely OP as she is already. Kinda like Fritillaria in an ability trigger squad. Okay-ish by herself, awesome in a customized squad.

If Roetgen wants to make the Banana Island All Stars team, GIT IONOCIDIUM!

As for me, gotta choose between the selfish Dendrobium or hardworking Mei, or Alpinia. Hmm.

Hm, I was under the impression that Sakura/Mei/etc.'s passive was like Cyrtanthus/Geranium/Justicia/etc., since they use the same wording (when translated, anyway).

But I suppose it makes more sense that they get better passives than the existing ones.

I really don't place all that much value on raid boss damage though.
