Lol same scenario here

Anya at 35
Karma at 19 (almost perfect :'c)
Sybilla at 21

fully CR she would be at 17 so that's nice to have

I won't even spend a single SC on the event, will just focus on farming mages and witches; i crave that Pallis

@Radhulbh
Overall good choices are the following:

Sybilla
Still a powerful unit despite the buffs certain other Princesses have received. Sybilla has one of the highest single-target DPS and her high stats makes her all-around good for a variety of situations. She is not an ideal unit for tanking end-game level bosses, but she can still support your tank with very high raw magical DPS.

Olivia
One of the greatest physical damage tank. Impervious to physical damage for 15 to 25 seconds and can deal extremely high magical DPS to a single-target. Her high stats makes her useful in a variety of situations as well. Just don't let her less than average HP scare you from using her and a knowledgeable player will know how to use her properly. She does rely on her skill to fight bosses that deal large amounts of damage, but for everything else she does just as fine as Sybilla.

Sherry
A powerful Princess that emerged from the release of the Princesses' Skill AW. She has absurdly high DPS whenever she is using her Skill AW and hitting 5 targets. A very powerful melee support unit that rivals many Black units and their DPS as long as she is hitting 5 enemies continuously. She may even trump their DPS since it is magical damage and a majority of the enemies you fight have high defense. Sherry has nearly as much single-target DPS as Sybilla with her default skill at max level, but it is lowered due to her Skill AW's lower attack modifier. She has good stats and is as versatile as you would expect out of a Princess duelist. Pair her up with a dancer and watch things burn.

Lilia
A strong tank. She can tank many strong enemies well up until Golems or Greater Demons. She is really great against Dracolich since she is immune to paralysis for 60 seconds. She can deal as much single-target damage as Sherry now during her skill's duration. Don't expect her to tank end-game bosses such as the Iron Golem or Mithril Golem. Use proper physical damage tanks or Necromancers that are more suited for those situations.

Claudia
A good damage dealer. Her niche is to deal true damage and she has no problems fighting against enemies with high MR (Demons in particular). Since she is an event unit, she has a slightly lower attack speed compared to the other Premium Princesses. It's not hard to use her Skill AW since there are usually melee positions where she can use her skill properly. Just don't expect her to be a sniper like Sybilla or a DPS Queen like Sherry. Don't let her faults chase you away from her if you don't have any other Princesses since she proves to be useful in certain situations better than other Princesses. She is great at dealing with high DEF/MR enemies that deals magical damage with her default skill and there have been some events where she is really useful to many people due to that skill.

@exk
Wow, thank you exk! Fantastic post. You went beyond what I could have expected from an answer.

Thanks to you I think I'll focus on Olivie+Sherry combo and try to get Claudia to -2 CR or something like that. I can see now that I was very fortunate getting them while trying to get Minerva with a few rolls.

That said, depending on your units, just try to get as far as you can. Watch videos to see what you can expect and what levels the units were that beat the map (and if it was very easy for those units or barely making it), then decide if you want to try it. If things go south, continue leveling your units to your best ability.

i did realize "the tradition" from the ninja and then pirate event, but having another princess can't be any harm moreover i can't go all out because now i have only 13 sc, and from comment box of Lafate, more than 20 sc will be more promising
edit: yes i have all unit from the videos (stronger i can say) but thing won't go that smoothly, like you said harmless to try but don't expect to much

honestly I'll be focusing on all 3 platinum princess (not really using the newest ones for reason)

that newest one is not Claudia i hope

it's Louise. she's hard to use because her AW ability is to increase every unit's def by 40% in return for +2 cost to every unit

Pretty sure, Sherry's right click dmg is closer to Claudia than Sybilla.

Their roles are also different.
Sherry is for group clear (post skill AW), similar to a mage-armor in play style, but with a bigger aoe. (not in nutaku yet, but think them like a melee mage) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te8FVTFjXnY

Claudia is for boss fights. Against later game bosses that have composite armor. (high mr + high armor)

It should be noted that skill awakenings are be quite tedious to obtain, unit must be
1. Awakened
2. Maxed skill 5/5 or 10/10 etc (pray to RNGesus)
3. Have nutaku patch in updates for class skill AW (princesses came around dec last year)
4. Pay same cost for awakening to skill awaken. 250k+2 orbs for plat

While claudia needs straight up SC. (there are somethings that money can buy, for everything else, masterbed)

Can anyone confirm if Claudia gets nerfed in a future patch?
