My personal favorite is Snowdrop and I wouldn't trade her for anyone.

can someone explain why everyone keeps talking about saffron? is it only cause she has a bloom? cause her skills don't look impressive to me vs other 6*

She has both dodge and counter when bloomed. Counter lets her deal damage when hit based off of her defence stat and dodge let's her avoid being hit. Give her taunt and you have one of the best defensive units in the game.

Exactly this. Put defensive equipment on her (the Sandersonia set is pretty good, the "Drop of Sunshine" set is the best until we get EX equipment), ampy her (focus on hp/def first), add Taunt and Saffron becomes a beastly tank whose job is to be the first one on the squad to die, but not before wrecking enemies with counter-attacks (counters trigger when she dodges too).

Speaking of equipment, she's the only unit I can think of whom I would actually not recommend equipping any whaleship gear on since the defensive values aren't great.

Theorethically you can achieve similar effect with Nightmaher, Evade and Counter as well.
Now granted Saffron has defensive buffs, Nightmaher has Skill activation, so you are trading some durability for increased damage, but there is that option if you dont need a full fledged Tank, rather something like an Off tank, that can still take good amount of punishemnt but improves your overall damage potential thus eliminating the enemy faster and alleviating the necessity for tanking.

Other than those two there is no other 6 who has Evade + Counter skill combination (I know that, coz I looked and written down all of the Evade 6* when I was putting down my Evade team for DMM)

oh... ok, that makes sense! to go back on what the other guy asked between saffron and kerria, would that make kerria more of an 'off tank' then, since she has some defense buff and can steal HP, but not as tanky as saffron without the counter?

No, she doesnt have tank stats nor def abilities, nor counter. Considering any girl with Evasion skill as a off tank is a wrong way to look at it.

Kerria is pretty much and always has been pure DPS. She has the highest damage output when Bloomed due to all the self buffs she applies.
While Mei Plumblossom has the highest Damage skill (5.2) multiplier, the sheer amount of damage that Kerria adds to her attack puts her ahead by a lot. And then add the Life drain (if she procs the Ult, she can pretty much heal her full HP, especially if it Crits > crits dont yet work in Nutaku versie, though the red numbers that symbolise them are in.)
The fact she has Evade is more of a "extra" in her case.

Any rainbow with evade can certainly be considered a tank. Counter is just damage and defense has diminishing returns. Instead of whittling enemies down with counter while evading, bloomed Kerria'll delete one enemy at a time with her skill while regaining health and evading.

When she gets her bloom.

Yes, Kerria is definitely a tank, albeit one with lots of damage, once she gets her bloomed form.

There's also the minor consideration that Kerria's bloom is a -long- way away (she's the 23rd 6* to get a bloomed form, and we're only coming up on number 5).

holy sweetballs of Quetzalcoatl, Lantana ain't that much ways down the road. that was a good surprise, tbh.

I'm having a really hard time selecting a 6*, i only have 1 since i somehow missed the 10 day 6* ticket.

I need a Slash type. Any suggestions?

I only have 1 other 6* and she is Apricot.
