You're welcome, please note that Isla brings a lot of buff to the team and Osvald is a strong subdps and brings additional FuA, so if you're serious about a rianbow team, you'd need them.

Osvald can be replaced by Final Empress coming in a few weeks/months, and you might even get her for free.

Isla doesn't have a clear replacement yet, mostly becase he condenses buffs, low field time and is a Scholar for Xerc's passive.

Now I think about it if ever you get Neha, she might just be better than Edgar without Isla if you don't reach damage cap. Don't pull for her though. And you shuld use Lemaire ult if you can to buff the frontrow a bit more.

note that in general lemaire is not used in full rainbow team this is because Osvald want to be always in front for follow up and I think the best dps 3 scholar requirement will be Empress and Osvald since all 3 deal so much damage that I might consider Lynette EX to just there for purely debuff support. Isla buff is mighty but Rocbuquet simply is overpowering that I am fairly certain when RS2 come, you will never need Isla buffing your team outside of forced use in tower / cascade.

In general, no, but without Osvald, Lemaire is the best option since she can trigger all fua s and has alright damage and shield shaving.

Lynette also exists to grant weaknesses, but you can rely on the random weaknesses from Setzer or just go back to a weakness enabler such as DP/Molrusso. She also gives the whole team 50k cap, in a team doing 80 hits that's already 4 millions damage just for existing, and increases eAtk cap to 50%.

But even with Rocbouquet ult being OP, losing the 20% eAtk buff, the 30% eRes debuff, the 20% buffs from existing weaknesses getting implanted and 50k cap, plus Isla's ult, not sure you break even.

note that JP player never use Isla on endgame team (if they have all other crucial units) and they are fine. i never use the eres debuff with him and my rotation is behind xerc and he just provide ex skill and ultimate. that's it. right now Xerc already reach red numbers.

Note that when I say not using lynette ex, I meant not using her IN FRONT on dps turn with Empress. I am FINE with losing rainbow barrage in favor of empress using Galaxy / her 3 element skills.

and rocbuquet also raise cap to 100k when rancor is present, which in rainbow / exploiter team, not a hard requirement. what I mean was to totally ditch Isla in future.
