I'm personally not too fond of water because of it's debuff-reliant playstyle that doesn't really change till much later, so I would recommend you run the Kirin account.

Thunder currently has it a bit easier at the lower level rarities: Perun Cyclops and King are all pretty high tier in their own right. Drop in an Astraea too if you so desire to run debuff content for now.

SSRs wise, himes to absolutely look out for: Marduk, Baal U, Brahma, Athena, Raiko. These are what I'd label as the absolute first thing you should miracle ticket for. Notable mentions, aka the less important ones: Mammon (I'm sensing pitchforks), Thor (if you choose paraslave).

As for water, no top tier R himes really stand out to me, except maybe yuri meatshield Kushinada. You do have quite a selection of SRs though, most notably Belphegor, Triton and Venus.

Water SSRs wise, absolute picks: Snow Raphael, Asherah. Maybe Ryu-Oh. Less important picks: Cthulhu*, Shiva*, Poseidon*, Aphro or Nike U.
Those that I marked with a * means they don't stay in that tier forever. All 3 will get an AW (Poseidon is the earliest, in 3.5 months?) that will probably change their placing in terms of priority. Shiva and Cthulhu AWs are really late though, so don't count on these picks unless you're doing long term investment gymnastics.

Miracle tickets from the last batch should be available now, and probably in a few weeks the new batch will come in, so do go into the miracle ticket thread and discuss your options as well.
This is great info too, thank you. I wanted more input because I've looked through the beginner guide but was under the impression that the "best" will constantly be changing so I wanted to know people thoughts based on the current game state.

Is it true that Thunder is more of a glass cannon and Water is a Utility/debuff playstyle?
