Have to agree here. You can't go wrong with Cherry, especially since she can be bloomed already. (Only reason I don't have her on my team, is that I prefer Southern Cross's debuff in my debuff squad, at least for now..)
New Years' Ivy can be a solid alternative for Cherry though, except that her bloom is still a long way away.
Viola (Yukata) and Anemone make for a good counter-team (seeing a boss AOE on a full counter-squad is actually quite hilarious).
Regular Viola is a really basic unit, fits in with about any type of squad, but doesn't bring anything special either. Well, her special attack looks funny, for people who like oddballs.
