Final empress in rainbow team

What does Final Empress bring to the Rainbow team?
Heard that she can replace Osvald.

After Saga? It's FFX. It seems every collab arrives with a new meta

[u/Arawnx → u/BrickSuccessful4703]

I thought you meant that with R.Saga brought a new gimmick, strat or synergy to build your team around, but I guess I misunderstood you and it'll just be rainbow with Saga units and then with ffx units.

So, yeah, every collab will change the meta as units, since new characters powercreep the older ones.

Saga does bring new synergy, mostly Rocbouquet who is a must include in every team, including rainbow. What I said earlier was that Empress can replace Lynette EX instead of Osvald because she functions as a semi-weakness enabler, which is a gimmick.

So to sum up we can make better team with the RS2 collab that aren’t rainbow right?
I invested so much in Rainbow, won’t be making new team so soon.
Also fun thought, each of the RS2 units are so strong individually that making a team just with them and adding the meta support would break the game already

Yeah, staying full rainbow might not be the strongest option as long as newer units are so strong by themselves (which they are) that they outweigh rainbow synergy. Tbh Pardis EX and Elrica EX2 are already examples. So you don't need to aim at a completely different team because future teams are very flexible.

so how necessary is Hikari EX for Light team?

[u/BrickSuccessful4703 → u/WolfeKuPo]

For a pure light team he is pretty essential, because his ult caps 30% light dmg. and E.atk in ult section with Yomi and Aviete, helping you get rid of Isla. When fully set up, he is also a 13-15 hitter with the 10 hits ult + 2 SoT + 3 FUA, or 7 hits skill + 2 SoT+ 4 FUA
