Shamash and Light Athena fills similar roles, so I won't use them both at the same time unless you're going full turtle for some reason. Shamash is better against bosses that uses primarily single-target attacks, while Light Athena is better for AoE.
Metatron as first sub is standard light tactic for when accidents happen on the front line, Metatron can just come up and repair the burst chain.
Durga is actually a pretty strong SR as long as you make sure her rampaging ability won't mess you up. Light Hermod is almost as fast as Durga without the randomness. Otherwise Djehuti is a very solid sub for trying to turn around a bad combat situation.
If you're up against debuff resistant stuff, I would use:
Metatron, Durga/Light Hermod, Michael, Shamash/Light Athena, Djehuti and either Light Hermod/Durga or Uranus as sub. If you have Hercules (or Shingen, probably not if you say you're not active enough to get draconic eyes) use her as soul with (Herc you need the axe.) Soul is the big bottleneck in burst speed in this build.
You want primarily assault and defender skills at this stage, not just any skills. Typically, you want just enough defender skills to give you enough hp to survive, then get your assault and raw stats as high as possible. It's ok to have one or maybe two SSR weapons at LB0 if they give you both assault and defender and if it means you can drop a pure defender SR weapon. I wouldn't go beyond that, the sacrifice in raw stats relative to maxed out SR assault weapon is just too great. Since you don't have a good healer, hitting hard is even more important than usual.
Awaken Michael first if you ever get round to it. She is much much better after awakened. Just join an active union and the draconic eye shards will trickle in at a decent pace after UEs.
I would suggest spending it on Tishtrya if you do want to spend $50. Sol is still good, but not the highest mtix priority anymore imo.
Your team is actually pretty solid for f2p and have good tactical diversity. As long as you aren't looking to solo raids or something, it should be good for casual play.
