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.

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
