That ultimately depends on how 'serious' you want to play. I suppose the bigger question in that regard is whether you're a whale or not; assuming you'll obtain both without spending stupid amounts of money seems like an exercise in disappointment.

I've only played the DMM version for about a month, so I'm certainly not an 'expert'. However, after looking at them, it honestly looks a bit redundant and inefficient to have both of them/two 'healers'. I wouldn't be surprised if there are/will be summons that boost both wind and light elements passively, but the elemental boosts from equipped weapons is not nearly as forgiving(and the main reason why a single element is generally prefered).

I'm not saying you can't mix elements if you really want to, just that you're going to have to choose and accept the sacrifices that come with it. If you go for an even split between wind and light, your entire party will only be operating at half of their potential. Alternatively, if you were to specialize in wind, for example, Sol would effectively just be a gimped character that is tagging along. If you're okay with that, more power to you.


One final note on the pros and cons of drawing an SSR summon instead of an SR Kamihime from the pre-reg:

The most obvious thing is that you will likely be popular/spammed with friend requests for having an SSR as your Main/Support Eidolon at the start. Your main summon is effectively your 'face' to other players and how you help each other. Instead of a "helper squad"(FKG as a reference), everyone selects the eidolon of other players to help them before each battle - if it's a friend, it can be summoned immediately at the start of combat.

The downside, is that you'll have this shiny, awesome summon that you probably won't be able to upgrade past level 40 or enhance its passive effects. the only way to 'uncap' eidolons is with another copy of itself. Conversely, you'll be able to fully upgrade an SR(/all) Kamihime simply by playing the game and farming the elemental upgrade materials for them. Fully upgrading SR Eidolons is an equally steady process as you can generally farm either their exchange materials or get them to drop directly from bosses. Each event will also offer an SSR eidolon with enough copies to max it out if you put in the effort.

TL;DR:
Eidolon from the gacha are a short term investment that are a pain in the butt/wallet to fully max out.

Well, I was thinking more in terms of Gaia tagging along, but I guess it's the same. Clearly I am not a whale (I am not willing to spend thousands just to get 2 characters) but I guess I wouldn't mind spending some money if I like the game and if I get lucky to get Sol and Gaia (I like their artwork) then I was wondering about putting them in the same team.

So... Is there a point to keep that shiny SSR Eidolon if it's going to stay on lvl 40?

Ah, I rolled Ramiel today... This pre-reg gacha is really trying out my resolve in keeping fafnir... Charming enemies...
*sigh*
No charming enemies for me. I hope I wont regret it.

I think Fafnir is worth keeping simply because of how much she buffs your offense and defense when summoned. Her starting passive boost of +40% to Fire and Water attributes is also higher than any specialized SR Eidolon fully uncapped. Conversely, Behemoth can dispel debuffs when summoned, which can be situationally useful, regardless of level. That said, your second SR Eidolon(you start with a Dark SR) will likely be a wind type(Sephirot Tree) by the time you clear the second region.

i should've come lookin for this before ... .-. and here i was all happy when i traded my beelzebub for my SSR echidna :P .. so, basically, we better off with himes instead of eidolons huh..? ... well, guess gotta hope again for a decent hime then .-.
