And then if there's an Atk+ on that R and none on the SSR, then it's going to be pretty close in powerlevel.

What's worse, when you talk about not having enough time, then you also have to consider enhancement costs. Rs are 3145 exp to level up, SSRs are 13345 exp. So with our current status of max 3 Accessories, you're literally decking an entire Hime with either 3x Rs (1500-1770 Atk) or 1x SSR (1080-1300 Atk). And this is assuming that you have ALL the Gems in the world - if you're actually saving Gems and compressing your SR fodder to level 21 fodders (or such), then the SSRs require more like 20k exp total to level up.


And finally, the biggest problem that you have with that tactic is that... well, if you're counting 5x Accessory slots, at that point the ONLY thing that matters is that you have 3x Tiaras in there. So 3x level 1 N Tiaras is stronger than 5x level 50 SSRs.
... well, I haven't properly mathed that, but seriously, the Tiara set bonus is just absolutely insane. But hey, at least you'll get to use two of your non-Tiara SSRs as stat-padders per Hime?
I will consider tiaras when it comes round. Is there a list of every set bonus? You don't level 35 accessories without having a few sets.

Levelling R still has the problem that it would be immediately replaced. I do not value the ability and stun modifiers as worthless, so an SSR with 3 modifiers of any type is going to be better than an R with a single modifier. I do see a difference in my ability to stun bosses. I don't care that it can't be quantified.

As for time and effort... the game isn't exactly difficult or the grind especially long right now. I can dedicate all my time to SSR (14 days each). If I'm ever put in a position that my SR fire team has to perform, I will probably take shortcuts. That team just isn't worth it.
