I... am confused over a couple of things here. Not the Vine point, I understand that one just fine.

The first case is Zephyrus over Sol. Heal-wise, err... yes I probably don't need the ridiculous heal power Sol has, plus Ithaqhua is already there. You might have seen this question before, but how much damage tradeoff would I be doing with a simple switch to an R same element hime? I ask this mainly because I still see Zephy as replaceable by Sol, especially in a situation where I do want to have that stupid strong heal buff.

Next question regards... lack of wind Orpheus. I find this a tad bit confusing since I believe you have expressed your love for zeal quite a few times (with Raiko and fire Beelz anyway). Any reason why she wouldn't fit in the team?

Last question has to do with Cybele. If I replace Ithaqua with Cybele to free up my EX slot from the B frame debuffs:
A. How viable/ dumb is that option?
B. If A is viable, what would you slot in as the EX?

And as a footnote...



My sides.
As i have the same wind himes as you (except Gaya), i can tell what i was thinking about it. If we will replace Zephyrus with Sol, team will lose about 15% total non-skilll damage if we count Sol's damage as 0. But a)Sol's damage is not 0 b) Sol has damaging skill (weak as off-element, but it's still a damage) c) other himes (like Hastur and Gaya) have their own strong damaging so even with 160% assault and 200% eydo total damage loss will not be greater then 10%. Instead we gain supermegahyper heal, stronger attack debuff, cleance, dark resist buff on burst (not working on nutaku as i know) etc. But Itaqua will not be needed if you will use Sol so you can replace her with someone more usefull (her nuke is so-so, poison is garbage and intercept on healer... too situational), so we will trade 2 not very high damaging hime for 1 even less damaging but more supporting one and 1 free slot. Released hime slot can be filled with someone more damaging or providing more buffs/debuffs to compensate damage loss from Sol. So i can't see anything bad in using Sol in this situation if you don't have Seth. Cybele is a good option for replacement because she releases ex slot, i'm using her because i don't have Gaya or other wind SSR, but i like Iblis more for b-frame debuff if you have her.

What ex should you use with Cybele? If soul is not Mordred - BP, if Mordred - provisional forest/Joan's attack debuff, maybe something else.
