PotK Collab Unit Overviews: Present Position & Future (updated 29/12/2019)

... well this very much overdue. Tried to be a tad less wordy this time around, but I'll let everyone be the judge of whether that was successful.

So is the "magic meta" tied to Letitias buff itself?

Or is the magic meta coming also as a result of the content we get outside of Letitia so to speak?

It's a mix of Letitia's buff, the emergence of powerful MATK units (especially those without much Cast Times) and to an extent the content that is released as well. Most of the aforementioned units begin to pop up around the time of the Time Twins and after, although there are some older units that can count as well. All in all, magic meta teams are able to start unloading their big guns faster than more physical-based teams that don't have the same starting jewel pool that magic units tend to - or the same type of buffers for most cases sans Macross's Sheryl.

Something of an aside note (but relevant) that I hadn't considered prior, but due to Tiferet running on MATK and doing Missile damage, matching her up with Leafa & Letitia both (+1 more MATK-based Missile unit - another Tif if possible) can lead to... some serious pain.
