The top tier list isn't really mine, per se, not that anyone would deny that most of those listed are indeed broken.

There's also some level of power-creep going on here too, and pre-bloom Alpinia without her special was already kinda power-creeped to begin with. I guess you can make the argument that her special still makes her relevant, though you'd think a dodge passive would suit her better than a counter passive. She'd make great competition for being a tank compared to Ionocidium/Lycoris/Saffron/etc. if not for that.

But anyway, the only underwhelming ones on the list would probably be Cherry and Acacia. And again, it's because they already have the incredibly good -15% enemy attack skill to begin with.

Everyone else is some combination of a massive stat booster, skill booster, or counter/dodge survivalist.

On the other hand, attacking twice, party-wide tankiness/attack negation, and so on probably puts those higher than the rest.

Any idea when blooming girls will start?

whats her abilities?

So, if I understood correctly the bloom mechanism, even reissued 5* that I already got but don't want to dupe are worth getting, to be used for blooming?

Gaillardia was the first event girl I got after beginning the game, so I needed only 2 skill and 2 dress blooms, and at first I didn't intend to get the girl again (also, because current event takes lot to farm to get ampys)

Blooming is a second tier of evolution. Blossomed affection is a second tier of affection. They're relatively unrelated systems. Saving dupes is for one of the future currencies for the latter's gifts.

Updated first post with Dogwood, did some touching up.

Seems Helenium/Victoria/Anemone bloom was teased, among other things (Hanamomo bride, Cyrtanthus, Cycla Menn 6*).

->Open Spoiler<-

nice, I like all of their designs
and yaaaaayyyy Anemone gets a bloom form xD
