Cattleya and Mei are on all of my whaleship configurations so that I always begin with a full SB gauge.

Yeah, I currently have Mei and German Iris in all of my whale squads so the gauge starts out at 80%. Cattleya letting me start with a full gauge would be nice but nowadays I don't use a solar burst unless I'm fighting an ancient pest so the gauge would be full by the time I reach one for the first time anyhow.
