Kuzan and Borsalino are crying right now, lol. I do see what you mean though. So far I've just been farming Fuji books off of natural stamina, and I don't need anything else from this stage at all aside from Wicca and Leo sockets since I don't have Orlombus or Elizabello. I also got Spandam from FP pulls....yay, would have rather had any other CP9 unit but at least he's new :s
Yeah, specifically ones that are based around the class. Borsalino and Kuzan work just fine as Shooter captains (in fact, Ace/Kuzan teams are why I have any Raid Akainu copies at all). But Bandai specifically went down the list making the initial class captains, and since they seem to be doing it again, I'm guessing we'll get another Shooter soon.
Also, good to hear Spandam's in the FP pool, because I sure as heck ain't farming for him any time soon.
Cleared Zephyr colo stage but I'm wondering if I really should farm him and Ain and Binz.
Are those three units essential in any way later on? Don't really have the time and the mood to go all out farming them tomorrow and next week. Might just focus on one unit and hope for a return in the future...
I'm personally using Zephyr in Rayleigh teams, since he can work as a booster there (Double Ray, Zeph, Kuma, and two STR beatsticks destroys the Leo FN). I think he gets use elsewhere, but you might be able to survive without him.
Ain looks to be one of the better Slasher healers, which might be useful here and there. Binz can boost FS damage, but FS already has a lot of similar options. I'm not sure any of them are irreplaceable, but raid and colo units tend to show up a lot for F2P clearing options, so who knows?
They'll come back eventually, but it could be a while. I'm guessing we'll only see movie content about 1-2 times a year.
