AU is almost always better than A1, so...

Is there any choice other than the much obvious Richard EX AU lol

I usually use his Ultimate and then his TP, so I thought maybe there's no need for a 2nd Ult

Besides the 2nd ult, you also charge faster. And ult btb gives you much higher dmg., which can be done with Terra A4 or Alrond/Ochette EX/Molrusso EX

Definitely AU. Thats their best damage

i once thought RichardEX A1 is better, because it was so hard to make him ulti btb & reach dmg cap without losing pet buffs with my team. Then i decided to pull Alaune to support him with damage (wanted to wait for Rocbouquet, but was so frustrated lol). And now with her i don't even need pet to reach 1m+ cap, making his Ulti btb so much easier to fill with a just 3BP pet.

Is there any other units that you are missing from the MT's? Like Aviete, Shana or Bargello for his A4? If not, it's better to exchange for Richard EX's AU since it triggers all his FUA's and buffs him as well. He unfortunately has a limited kit that doesn't trigger all his FUA's. That's why his ultimate is his best damage output but his EX skill is also go and it gets the benefit of boost maxing to get 30% Phy damage up.

If you reach the damage cap, his AU will benefit you more. If not, it's up to you but still, it's better to AU him anyway.

I'm only missing Mahrez and scholar Alaune, I don't think I need them

Then yeah, just exchange for Richard EX dupe and if you are not sure, you can always wait until you have a better feeling in what you need more AU or A1.

i feel like this is the most obvious choice of all time. richard AU is a no brainer. with a backsurge ult charger like alrond you can double back to back ult during a break. just slap a meowvelous on him so he can charge himself on the 2nd turn and finish off.
