At some point, even Free players will reach the stage where more girls doesn't necessarily mean a better team. So yeah, I pulled a Setaria from this ticket, which I didn't have yet. Will that improve my team even one bit? No, because she'll be benched forever, except maybe for Nation Battles (which are piss easy and can be done with a quarter filled unit consisting of only 2* and 3* girls). Everybody will eventually get a full team of golds, and once that happens, will start pulling non-dupe golds or even rainbows, who simply don't fit in their unit.

As odd as it might sound to some, I'd rather pull a dupe Cyrtanthus than a dupe Black Baccara by now, or even a new Ionocidium (since I don't have her yet). Simply because that dupe Cyrtanthus fits my squads, while those rainbows, mighty as they may be, do not, and would be benched anyway. And even the slightly weaker event girls have a place in my squads. My second strongest squad actually gets carried by Hypericum and Mirabilis, both event girls, while my strongest squad has non-maxed Tachibana and non-maxed Geranium as important cogs in the wheel.
