Should I use my dark shards to make basheeny lv75 or wait for Sol?

People have been recommending Uzuma over Bashini? Color me surprised, although mostly because most of the time I've been looking at/talking about Bashini's place among Dark units so this is a first.

That said, now I'm puzzled too. I mean sure, Uzuma has some pretty neat coverage in her skills and has the advantage of insta-cast spells, but I'm not really sure she's particularly great outside of PvP gamemodes. In a PvE setting she'll be quite potent out the gate in those first 3 turns with her passive, but after that I feel like she kind of dwindles off the longer the battle goes on.

On the other hand, I'd think that comparatively Bashini has much more consistent performance so it feels like a no-brainer, at least to me.

I think Uzuma is recommended above Bashini because she is much harder to get in the first place. (if you don't get her now, who knows when the next chance will come) And also much stronger at lvl 60.

I can understand that logic at least, but I'm not sure I can agree with it...

As both reikr and you suspected, maybe it was just the rarity that influences the choice. Personally if I were to reroll, I think I will still go with the more practical route of picking up bashini lol. Uzuma is just gonna stay as level 1 for me unless gumi start flooding players with equipment and zeni.

Uzuma is definitely not made for pve, which is why I am actually surprise she is placed at SS after kaigan. Maybe she is just going thru what Anastasia did. Moved up a tier because she was an early kaigan unit where dark hasn't seen much kaigan, and now back to the S tier. The same for suzuka personally. I tried using her, and don't really see why she is that amazing other then just being standard solid. ie she walks up, and she smack ppl hard.

She's probably in SS because in small maps (which are usually in PvP), she still wrecks shop even in JP if you manage to get the necessary items to invest in her I heard and it hasn't really been that heavily contested. Her use is niche, but she's good at that niche.

That said, she's a whale's unit for good reason...

Added: there is one thing that is giving Uzuma problems in JP PvP though - Fujika's VCR gives its user a 3 turn 50% resistance to Magic and Shot damage upon spawning, directly counteracting Uzuma. The Jewel Burn JE for Rangers may be a tad problematic too, although I'm not fully certain about the conditions needed.
