actually i'd wait on sophie as well. She has monster stats (all angels have naturally high stats) , but she is used different then a normal duelist.
Also , i liked imelia for the smae reason as you. She's got good offense ,AND defense on top of having a big hp pool because she's a bandit. The fact is , her stats are still there , if you don't care about the cost. She is still a strong unit , if you want to invest in her skill , and don't care about her cost. And while there are maps were cost doesn't matter , there are others were it does. Having her non cr-ed makes her a bit more situational for you to use her , then for us , but other then that , as i said , her stats are still good. The problem would be raising her skill , since you would have to invest rainbows in her , and i for 1 wouldn't. But that's your choice again.


There is also a possibility of revival events , but hers would be in the far future if we actually ever get revivals...


As for ertel , i also like the concept of her , but IMO she looks the type of silver that would be a awhole lot better at max skill level and min cost , and while i got a cc50 one myself , i'm not ready to start min costing a low priority silver yet. But she seems rather usefull. I'd love other units of her class in higher rarity actually
