just justifying my point, and I'd say experience doesnt count for everything here; logical analysis and argument counts for more. lolix who started around the same time as me, and whom I almost always disagree with, made a fair point about katie being mostly enough for soldier use, and considering that he has finished leveling katie to a decent level, I opt'd to shift zenobia down to middle priority. Zenobia is still a better soldier than katie, but leveling her atm wouldnt probably be high priority exactly.
Ah, for some reason I thought he had Mehlis leveled already when I was writing that post. I guess then it comes down to cost (both gold to level and UP) vs output. Marius obviously has way higher output, especially since he doesn't need trust to improve as much as Mehlis needs Affection to improve, and she only catches up in range during skill. Certain maps he might need the cheaper mage in Mehlis but if UP isn't an issue (and gold for leveling, given all the units he has to level), then Marius is hands-down the better choice.

I've only been playing for a year or so I think, I know I missed Aria (*sad face*) and by the time I started Bashira was your first summon instead of a temporary TP unit. I've spent a fair amount on this game to get the units I have at the level I have (just Awakened Aisha this morning =D) but I still have plenty to learn, and I have no clue about future events and what sort of units will be needed. Still like to give my opinions on units that I have, but as far as planning for future events, idk what's to come.
