the way i see it, you can't go wrong with both. but some elements are clearly more prepared towards one soul compared to the other

for instance, dark and fire already can hit 3 frames of def debuffs... technically light too. wind also is MADE for combo rate... i'd honestly just build upon what you have or what you want to aim for.

in my case, i'd take herc for light, but definitely shingen for wind, at least looking at my kami... my fire team can use either one....
Many prefer a team setup that can consistently keep up with Shingen's burst generation rate without wasting a single turn, hence wind meta involving Shingen more so than Hercules. Fire can sorta(?) do that with a perfect team of Uriel Ares Svarog Amaterasu/ Mars, but I'd think more people side with Hercules since fire is more like a heavy nuke based element. And besides the extra def break cause the "perfect" team above doesn't hit def cap, that's always a bonus.
