Thread: Which is the best princess unit?

I'm considering dropping some money to try and get Sybilla(new spotlight summon) since my current lineup lacks a princess, but I was wondering if the more knowledgeable people here could tell me if there is a better princess, or maybe even an upcoming event unit that can fit the same role(anti-armor).

Princess typically fill the role of duelist, however only after AW(and SAW, which isn't implement atm) they can be more distinct.For example, Olivie and Sherry AW can greatly increase your army strength( Sherry for the silver/gold, Olivie for the Elf).Thetis after AW can cause 3x dmg with a chance of 10%(25% during skill).

First off, i wouldn't throw money at trying to summon a spotlight black. It's 3% and you might end up crying in a corner instead.

Secondly, i wouldn't throw money at the game in the current state it is in, but that's up to you.

That aside, i guess the second unregged answered it nicely, they're duelists. They also deal magical damage and can also work as lightning rods to take enemy magical attacks since they all come with resistance.

I would only go for her if u can need ALL the other spotlight units too.
Just a little story: When i started playing and discovered Princess Units i was very interested and once i saw Sybilla i fell in love with her on first sight. Since then i realy want her over pretty much every black (even though id take em all). BUT Chizuru a gold Samurai isnt realy a unit ud want or id want... i even already have her counterpart Kojuro. And u have to expect to get her more then once with a (not actual) 95% chance when going for a black. Garania is a nice plat unit i would take her anytime, Marnie though... right after waltz event isnt very much needed. For me personaly Marnie is the only plat unit i ever got from shrine summoning so its even less appealing to get her another time...
So as much as i would wish for it i wouldnt go for Sybilla. Now think about your Prioritys. And keep in mind: even if u spend 100 bucks its very possible that u get 0 blacks or a black that u didnt even want.

Pretty much as already stated above I am a new player and have spent quite a bit of money on SC's. I only buy one lot weekly to limit myself and when I use to see a black unit I wanted in the spot light I would use all my SC on trying to get them.Only one I have ever managed out of the 2 I chased was Summoner Farne, my other two blacks I got where not the spotlight units. One I got was Sybilla (Who I was very happy to get) but was actually trying to get spotlight units Sophie. The other I got was Berna who also was not a spotlight units.

The amount of times I have come up short handed chasing blacks is numerous, it is all luck based so if you don't mind taking your chances go for it but your not guaranteed a black units and second your not guaranteed the spotlight black unit.

Now onto the princess question, I only have 3 princesses one being Sybilla who is by far my favourite and most used princess. My second is Themis and third is Lillia.

Sybilla is powerful, she has a chance to instant kill enemies and is very strong, being a black you can use her skill quickly so she makes for a powerful princess in my opinion and I look forward to awakening her to get her ranged attack.

Themis & Lilla are in my opinion good princesses for tanking in a one on one fight with their skill, haven't had to use them yet where Sybilla couldn't but I see them as more a tank princess than the others, a good lighting rod if you wanted them to be. Sure Themis after AW because a hard hitter and Lilla will become a better tank with her heal ability.

Olivie is the princess I want the second most after Sybilla, though I see her only to be greatly used if you plan on having an army of elves, might be greatly paired with Spica.

Sherry I am not to sure how she is but she seems to be a strong attack princess but not sure what cases you would need her over Black princesses like Olivie or Sybilla.

So personally I think Sybilla is the best princess but be careful in your pursuit for her as it will be costly if your unlucky. Plus you don't want to feed the devs to much money for lack of content/events

Sherry can get massive damage after using skill, paired with prince and dancer it skyrockets.
Her skill awakening will make her attack hit up to 5 units withing range. Which is nice if you happen to deal with 999 crazy armored units

Sybilla has the best overall stats out of the princesses. AW'ing her makes her a stronger rune fencer, which is also a boon.

Olivie is your go-to physical tank and supports your elf units (Spica, Chydis, Yuyu, Marius, etc.), but she's very squishy otherwise. She also NEEDS 5/5 skill, so she could be a rainbow fairy dump if you're unlucky.

Sherry's DPS actually exceeds the others when her skill is up, but otherwise, you'll mainly want her around for her golden army AW passive (boosts HP/atk/def of all gold-only units in your team by 5% just by being on the team). Skill AW switches her up by letting her attack five enemies at once.

Lilia is a long-term investment, because she gets a massive benefit from skill AW and can out-DPS/tank practically every other princess. Until then, however, she's still a solid tank that gets regen with AW.

Themis, I have her mincosted, but she has poor survivability for essentially being a weaker Lilia.

Just wanted to provide an update. I was able to get Sybilla on my 3rd roll! Thanks everyone for your advice.

Sherry I am not to sure how she is but she seems to be a strong attack princess but not sure what cases you would need her over Black princesses like Olivie or Sybilla.

To note, Olivie's benefits are more than her team wide buff to elven units. Because of her skill she becomes a full on dodge tank if you devote to her skill lvling, which means if the threat of the map has physical damage as its attack Olivie will laugh her ass off while she's slicing into it with her 900 attack power swings (I say 900 because of Olivie's stats at lv 80 that are then boosted by the Big Hero Prince title.) Plus since her elf buff affects her as well, she gets a free point chipped off her cost in addition to being given extra MR.

Sherry is a two-fold benefit. On one hand is whenever Skill AWing comes out. While it does take investment, once she's prepped for the second skill use its almost like having 5 Sybillas in one spot. Without it however, there is still a reason for her to sit in the team for her AW buff. While its only a stat buff for Golds and lower, its the main composition for most freemium players is usually golds and silvers so having her in the premium rolls is like a blessing for them.

Anya is a part of the Specialty Princess Coalition. In her case, you have a Princess with no natural MR until she gets AWed but has a skill that cuts all physical damage taken by half and has a block count of 2.
