Please help me build a team. I've been playing forever and still don't know how to build a proper team, so I'm stuck. I use a 5 color team right now and I'm sure that's not very efficient.
Like others have said, you have a lot of great monsters and you can build a lot of teams.
Starting with leaders, I would focus on these three team members:
-Kirin
-Haku
-Isis
Kirin and Haku are your main priorities. Isis is good mainly because she's easier than the other two to use and can get you through a lot of the easier content without you having to work as hard for matches. For these teams, you want to focus on the the following when it comes to subs:
1) Members that change orb colors to the orb colors you need to activate their powers (example, Verche and Angelion are good for Kirin since they eliminate dark orbs for orb colors you need). Haku you would want orb changers who make dark, blue, or red orbs from light, green, and heart orbs (ex Berserk, Mystic ice knight).
2) Delay/Shield (Echidna and Orochi)
3) Gravity/power multipliers (these will come later, just focus on the first two for now).
Once you've assembled the team members you need for these three teams, you have some other options you can look at for team leaders for when you don't want to match orbs all the time/don't have the colors you need:
-Loki (great mono dark/devil type lead)
-Freyja (great mono grass lead, so-so healer lead)
-Tyrannos (good mono fire lead, will be better after the next update)
-Izanagi (harder team to assemble but can pay off with his active skill once you have the right team of gods).
Also if you haven't done so already, trade a gift to get another dragon for another possible mono lead option (hopefully you get blue or light since those are the colors you'd need).
