Actually , on my second acount , were i didnt passed the wall of magic , i would chose a yuyu over adele any day. She gets good base attack for being an elf (she rivals belinda , with just single digits less attack) and she gets the range necesary to be usefull in war of magic.


From this point of view , adele , is really not that great of a pick up for a starter.

but there is no need to reroll just because of that. eventually she WILL be awesome. and newbies don't NEED particular shrine summons except maybe princess and a ranged melee (only option being Hina atm)
and like I said, Adele can replace cloris completely, which allows you to avoid using her completely as well. you need to look at the long term aspect as well. frankly speaking it's better to get a good shrine summon unit that you'll use forever than a unit that is only helpful early game (like themis/kerry who pretty much gets to warm the bench after claudia and other princesses and/or possible princess replacements)

any other shrine unit is mostly just GOOD to have, and not a MUST. the game's designed such that you don't need anything beyond your starter set and can eventually use event units to make up for the weak points.
edit: also, the only reason I'm prioritizing adele/cloris over yuyu is due to increase attack skill, which is more helpful than yuyu's higher base atk/atk speed in phalanx 2. adele/cloris will enable you to clear it earlier at a lower level and more easily. you'll eventually want to level both anyway.
