What. No. The Lance is the no-brainer. It allows you to PF reliably without help. Or, once Second Anniversary hits, PF Full Burst instantly.

This is on top of 30% Elemental being far better than 30% HP from the Bow.

1) Is 500% really 500%? In other words, if I can get each hime to burst for 400k w/ Herc, are they really gonna do 2m each w/ Shingen? That would be broken. What's a more realistic figure?
It is 500%, but that modifier is not alone. For example, SSRs already have 500%. So you can expect double damage. Also, burst cap without Exceed is 1m per Hime. And by the way, without the Bow, PF is 200%, so you're actually "only" gaining 300% - and less than that if you have any Exceeds on your Grid.

SSR Cybele is absolutely part of Wind core. Hitting twice every single turn alone makes her super good. Having Sniper Shot on top of that? Use her.
