I probably should consider matching passives, but instead I've just been building my ideal Waifu teams with themes. For my third and fourth teams, I'm going for a spooky team (Pumpkin, Veronica, Nigella) and a goofy team (Epidendrum Swimsuit, Fir, Creeping Smartweed.) My two top teams will be more 'serious' but the top team is just my five favorite Waifus -- right now that's Victoria Bride, Madonna, Cactace and Ardisia with me adding my newest 6-star to the team and stubbornly keeping Madonna around as she's my favorite. (And not too bad for a 5-star in my biased opinion, the 3x hitting style works well for me. But I've also upgraded her tremendously with ampys.)

I'm debating between Snowdrop, Hollyhock, Amenone, Acacia, Serissa...basically every solid character design for my last ticket. It's really just me having no huge preference at this juncture. Like, earlier on, I knew without a doubt I'd be choosing Cactace and Ardisia for the top team as I love Cactace's visual design and I love Ardisia's voice. (Next up is Ardisia Bride, I guess.) Even if they were categorically the two weakest 6-stars to choose from I'd still pick them. But now I've reached a point where I'm out of the waifu candidates and we're down to just the above-average designs I really like, but don't love enough to sway me.
