Nemesis and Kingu are amongst the best Thunder SRs, which sadly isn't a very high bar (Astraea and Thunder Artemis are the better ones). King certainly deserves a spot on the frontlines then,

There are absolutely no healer Thunder Hime out now, so lacking in heals is quite expected. Limited heals coming up in August and January, a raid SR in December and finally the "I've got the best heals, anywhere!" in April next year. I guess DMM got sick and tired of the playerbase complaining about the lack of heals in Thunder, heh.

Anyway, Thunder's healer is Sol for the longest time into the future.

Dude... have you looked at Thunder's debuff capability?

Current Def Down Hime:
SSR Tyr (A -10%, -15% Awakened)

Current Atk Down Hime:
SSR Raiko (A -15%)
SR Cyclops (C -15%)
SSR Marduk (C -20%)

... that's it. No, seriously, that's it.

The things you find yourself "lacking" in Thunder is just business as usual over there. There's a reason why Thunder is frowned upon.

So, can your Soul do your debuffs? Yes. Dartagnan equipped with Charles Blast and Ambush. While everyone else gets to play around with Hercules' and her OP Relic weapon, Thunder users are pretty much forced to stick to Charles Blast for many months to come.

While true that they are powerful and a large reason why the whaliest of whales are so far above normal players in power-levels, Kaisers don't compare to P2W Eidolons. Just like P2W Eidolons, a large portion of their benefit comes at 0-stars. However, unlike P2W Eidolons, you can buy one each per element from Eidolon Orbs.

Each LMB +99 Kaiser is 5-7% DPS boost, with slightly diminishing returns upon further ones. So you need all five sub-slots at LMB Kaisers to reach the benefit of a 0-star P2W Eidolon.
Considering the extremely powerful on-use of Kaisers, yeah, sure. If you go that far, then Kaisers are more P2W than P2W Eidolons. What kind of a sum are we talking about here, though?
