Thunder... most importantly, they have the 'right' versatility.
Yes, I still can't wanpan most GO bosses, so I still find light's versatility very helpful. But yeah, I recognize that things change when you progress towards the end-game.

Raiko AW
When does she get the AW? I actually wasn't even aware that she gets an AW (thunder is my worst element, I didn't even read up on all these himes until you and nonsensei pointed them out =P) I actually have Raiko, so maybe I should pay more attention...

The best part, most of these buffs do not require micro as much as Light units do.
Ok, yeah, light IS very clicky...

NewYear Afro with her Party vigor
Yes, her vigor buff is very strong, but isn't she limited? I prefer not planning around limited himes since I don't have the whaling power to make them drop reliably.

Btw, slightly off-topic but, why does no one care about Isis for wind? I actually found her 20% vigor pretty useful in the last tower, and she can soak up dmg to keep everyone else at full health. Maybe not as good as the TAphro + Marduk AW combo, but still a nice dmg boost.

Also, you mentioned holding your own ground against TCat as Light, but then will you be able to do more than just VMVP?
Admittedly no... I usually lose to MVP by about 10-30 mil

p.s. Before you attempt the 'Light can be played as single element' argument, I'll just inform you that... a couple Thunder baka that I know over here simply just brute force through Wind raids.... and still do enough dmg to MVP (50~70m dmg).
That is... impressive... I guess my remaining argument is that I find light 'fun' to play with 'cos it's so easy to build different teams for different bosses. I readily concede that that kind of thinking is sub-optimal for competitive play though

Firstly, happy to see you posting here again!

The thing one shouldn't forget that it's been almost a year since Iris' release and light didn't get any relevant new unit meanwhile.
Would it be correct to characterize that the golden age of light peaked around Iris and we are about to see other elements come closer to parity/dethrone light in the coming year? Still waiting for dark to catch up though... Dark Takeminakata looks solid at least, her kit looks similar to Lugh.

VBaal sounds like an amazing unit.. until you realize, light has units that already do every of her ability better, talk about wasted potential.
Is she that bad? On paper, she seems like a good alternative to Athena when you don't need the cover. She's the only limited light hime that I even paid attention to, though I still won't spend anything other than jewels at trying to pull her.

Jupiter got rebalanced to stupid levels from where she started becoming a pretty reliable unit having speed, nuke & party buff.. oh, and echo.
Interesting, I don't hear her mentioned much. It looks like her rebalance doesn't come until early next year if I'm not misreading the wiki?

Light Tsukuyomi isn't that bad though. Completely outclassed by Lugh and Iris yes, but I won't consider her a 'bad' draw for when you're just starting out. Or is that why she's not in the same category as light Satan and Nike? Sorry, Tsuku was one of my first light SSR and we've been through a lot together, will be sad to see her go
