Okay , first of all keep in mind that ill just talk about your units in no particular order. It's already a long post , and i'm too tired to even try an talk about order and strategy.

well , u have some great units there...including sherry (which i have a personal boner for ) , but as u said , u don't have many gold units. Still 5%damage , hp , defense is not to be ignored , so u might as well awaken her. COnsidering u said spica is mincosted already , and that u have saki , i'm guessing dc's aren't a issue for u


Also , i've noticed an uzume there. Awakening her will give your entire team a boost of 5% in damage.

Marribel has black tier stats during her skill duration , but firstly , she's dependent on her skill to function , and secondly , Bernice outstats her in the tank department massively. A max level awakened marribel will have somewhere around 900 defense during her skill. bernice will be equal to that with just skill level 1. at max skill , she's better. ALso she is not crap without her skill
And she also has a passive that increases deine's defense as well by 5%.
I'd say go with bernice instead of marribel....especially if u decide to awaken sherry.


Saki is the unit i hated the most as well , but she got buffed and her awakening makes her a lot cheaper as well. Awakening saki will make her cost 16 up. She also fills somewhat of an different role then horace. Horace can be used as a pseudo princes/duelist , or simply trown vs heavily armored stuff. COnsidering saki's damage , she's obviously not that good in those cases , but she has her uses as well with her range assasination and fast attack speed.




Bashira does costs more , but she is your burst archer. Place her near a dancer and use both's skills at the same time (add an uzume at max level and awakened just for giggles) and your bashira will shoot voleys of over 4k. Can rita do that ? And even without uzume and the dancer buff , bashira will still hit 478 x 3 per volley (without prince buff and spica buff). That's plenty of damage. If u have to chose , i'd say go for bashira.


Shiho will get a good SAW , when we finally get skill awakenings , which will let us chose to keep her as a permanent witch or permanent healer. That is really good since healer shiho heals a lot - comparable with camilla - but she also has a witch's attack speed >>> so faster heals. It's up to u in the end.


Solano - not sure why this unit isn't maxed yet. It's an amazing unit and summoners are some of the highest aoe dpsers in the game.


Lyla , lilia , Imelia , and claudia are all amazing duelists and should be leveled as well if possible

Mehlis is a great mage and will get an amazing SAW in the future asw well.

Finally katie and aria : there is literally no instance in which julien is better then both of them...other then having him min costed , but even then , i'd take katie and aria since her awakenings are much better. 2 extra defense and 2 extra offense for all units is rather nice.





Actually u have a very good number of stat booster units that i'd take advantage off if i were u :

Sherry : 5% def/attack/hp for golds
Bernice : 5% extra def for all heavy armors
Katie : extra 2% defense for all units
SPica : 7% offense to archers
Uzume : 5% offense to all
Aria : 2% offense to all.
Hell....even condrad buffs barbarians by 10% extra offense if you really have nothing to do with your DCs


Now let's take bernice as an example : u can get her 12% extra defense , 5% extra hp , 12% extra offense easily because of your boosters. That's plat level stats right there.
