So from the gist I've gotten from the Soul thread, I'm assuming that for fast teams, you use Shingen while for slower teams, Hercules is better. But what I don't get is, wouldn't Shingen just act as a bottleneck to your FB if you have no means to buff her? Do you HAVE to have Encourage Inspiration to make her work (and, in doing so, sacrifice BP or SS or whatever EX your team needs)? Shouldn't Shingen just be for those who have the means (aka money) to draw himes until the himes can cover all the bases (DEF down and whatnot)?
Unrelated, but since I'm on the topic of Shingen, how are we going to get HSP after UE's cease to exist?
