Very much agreed. She's a bundle of walking joy that I'm happy to have pulled both versions from the Gacha.

Meanwhile..........I'm hiding from the Yandere in a friend's bunker in the arctic; I'd like to keep my whole body in one piece afterall

I would go w/ Victoria

Dianthus is a bit small in dat one area :V

I can't tell, she's wearing like 8 more layers of clothing than the average girl seems to.

While there are some subpar 6*s I don't think there are bad ones (EDIT - bad ones you can buy/pull there IS a bad one you get for free that they really skimped out on the stats), and yes bride orchid is tempting next choice....I have all the brides then, but I think I have to get a 3rd pierce 6* running 1st to keep some balance

Sorry to resurrect this thread but my question is relevant here.

Is speed useless? You guys just casually dismissed Victoria Bride as being weaker even though she has 100 more speed than Dianthus. I guess I just have no idea what speed does.

Also, should I just grab Dianthus because she's stronger, or try to make a synergystic team with my 5* girls? I don't really have a clue how team-building works. I have Rhododendron, Belladonna, Eucharis, and Dayflower fully equip/skill unlocked, and Camellia Bride without any unlocks. Could also go farm some reissued 5* event girl if need be.

Speed affects how fast your teams move around the map. When one team has a habit of reaching the finishing pole before the last pests are killed, then that means it gets hard to 3-medal many maps. Usually, squads with comparable speeds (like, the fastest squad is at most 100 speed faster than the slowest) are easier to clear maps, but occasionally, a map requires extreme differences in speed to get those 3 medals.
A 100 speed difference between two girls actually doesn't have a really big effect on the squad though, the squads' speed is the avarage speed of the entire squad, so if you gave Dianthus and Victoria Bride the same team members, the difference in speed between the two squads would only be about 20 speed. Sometimes that's just the bit that makes the difference, other times it doesn't make a difference.

Still whether you pick Victoria Bride or Dianthus: they're both very good units, each with her own advantages. If you prefer one over the other, for whatever reason: get her.

Whether to use a synergetic squad of 5* girls or a rainbow girl depends a lot on how well you manage to make your squad synergetic, and what synergy you pick. Or, you could even make a synergetic squad of 4, and add Dianthus (or whatever rainbow you may have) on top of that. Rainbow girls don't suffer from being in a squad with a different synergy, though some might severely underperform in such a situation. Dianthus and Victoria Bitter aren't the type of girls who are in the underperforming category. They could both actually greatly improve the survivability of your team (though you'd need to put the taunt skill on Victoria Bride to accomplish that).

and you can learn speed+ and speed- ability for the group for next to nothing

Thanks for the reply! Just what I was looking for.

How do you 'put' a skill on an unit? I only know how to improve skills using rainbow skillblooms I'll grow old farming.

The girl I like best is actually Alpinia but she seems shitty and this will probably be the only 6* I'll ever get, so I'll just grab Dianthus.
