The starter pack is a solid value but not a must have. DCs are farmable but retain their value well since you need them to buy Awakening fodder. Spica and Chydis are both good enough that you're unlikely to quickly replace them without splashing some cash, in which case you might as well buy the pack and nab Alicia anyway since her pack is good value unless you only buy SC en masse.
I mean the units you get for leveling up and completing the tutorials. Of those units Katie and Cypria are the only ones I have used every battle. Their cost and skills are great. Iris is best for the maps that swarm enemies, otherwise Alissa and Dorcas are plenty.Even Bashira, a platinum, needs her skill to be noticeably better than Soma and Daniela.

I see the Chydis is a caster, I have not used witches and mages much. But I am only up to Citadel Battle and have stopped to grind Deep Forest Road. Does she have a rare skill?
