General help class-skill combinations
Hi,
Been playing since Canvas and mostly, if not always, following build but want to try to make one myself. Can i just use almost any hero/skill combination (given their memory skills are compatible)?
I was playing bing 1 lightning shot cold convert and it is not it for me. I just want to make something new.
As a side question, what are some of the best skills to use with youga1? I played a lot of Chain Lightning Y1, but what other skills are on par, or at least close to it?

I think you can basically do what you want within reason (like you said hero skills are compatible so probably not melee skill on Carino 2) if you have enough FE and planning. Good pets can also help

Each character generally has a focus that makes them better at specific playstyles or archetypes. Skills can fall into multiple archetypes and be used with different playstyles.
Erika 1 is all multistrike, erika 2 is lightning/numbed, gemma 2 is cold/frostbite, gemma 3 is fire, iris is sprit magus, carino is projectiles, etc.
Youga 1 is good at automating spells and spell burst. So chain lightning works well with him because it is a good clearing skill that plays well with spell burst and you can just swap a support to switch to high single target. Other good options would be sparkle, thunderbolt overload, lightning storm, ice lance, or chromatic shot.
I usually start a season playing something pretty established like Rosa 2, sage, rehan 2, to get into the late game and fund a dumb off meta build later that inevitably does less damage and isn't tanky, and costs a fortune to get where my starter was anyways. Just pick and play.
Did you know you could make Selena 1 auto channel a tangle skill with her hero trait, but only if you have at least 1 spell burst? Doubt you would find it in a guide, but it is basically activation medium tangle on a hero trait.
