Yomi is listed as a great lead, but only in her most difficult to obtain evo. I'm assuming I should keep dealing with this damn tutorial until a combo lead pops?
I'll come out and say it, I've got Awoken Yomi and I'm finding it hell to activate her efficiently. It's easy enough to get one activation or the other, but getting the 5 dark orbs with one enhance and 6 more combos on top, that's rough. Also her ideal team's pretty tough to get, composed of shit like Zaerog8, Haku's, yes multiple Haku's, Satsuki and the like, it'd be hard to near impossible to get Zaerog on a new account, Haku's, Satsuki, Pandora, Hanzo are all Gods, the best you could do to farm cards that'd suit her are Vampire and that Mystic Dark Knight, both of which ultimately suck but barring getting the good REM cards you'd need just to feed her dark orb addiction. I've even got all the pieces and still don't use those pieces because I don't have enough orbs and badpys to skill them up which really hurts. To add to that Yomi's gets little use as a sub. Further, as a new player her leader skill's pretty damn useless unless you get her to her Awoken form or at the very least her light/dark ultimate evolution. The light/dark's not terrible, it gives a flat 3x attack to light monsters but you'll probably have trouble finding a leader to pair with that. Yomi's an extremely long term investment.
Personally, I would roll for something different if this is going to be your only God for awhile because with Yomi not giving you any damage multiplier unless you go IAP you're going to hit a wall real fast. I'd recommend going maybe egyptian for your first God, Bastet will take you far and doesn't care as much what monsters you have until you start getting into really hard content and you can pair Bastet with just about anyone, all of Bastet's evolutions are compatible with each other, you can pair with Kushinada or any of her evolutions, Okuninushi or even pair with a leader that applies to a certain color, she's incredibly flexible. I think you can make do with most of the Gods on the Godfest, like Shiva's not the best leader until you get him Awoken but even as a sub his armor break is awesome and even at the start he buffs all fire cards. Same with Cao Cao, not the greatest fire leader but usable for a good portion of the game and a fantastic sub that'll have a place on most fire teams. Sun Quan's a good card because you can farm a lot of healer cards, lillith, echdna, valkyrie, and while not a great lead has a very useful skill and is used on a lot of endgame teams. Idunn & Idunna works as a leader right off the bat and is a decent sub. Dark Metatron's now way less restrictive and works with all dark cards so you can make a team around her now. Some of the best cards I find too hard to use, like Ra and Dark Kali needing all 5 colors matched to activate, ouch, but Dark Kali's also a great sub.
Edit: And I'm waaay too late, that's what I get for watching tv with the window open.
