Are the stat imps relatively easy to acquire in number? I just reached Agni and I see that in the next area - Vriksha - they're all over the capture list. I'd love to be able to use all the ones I have on my stronger units (Rowgen, Luka, Lucca, Rosetta, Marudieth, Zergel). Used a lot, but I've been hoarding the rest for a Zelnite, Darvanshel, Elza, Tridon or whatever uber summon I might get in the future.
Not really, their drop rates are pretty horrible. You can slowly imp up a few units, but don't expect to max out a whole bunch. What makes it hilarious is on reddit etc. when people discuss units as if their imp stats are their base stats. "Her attack sucks but nothing some imps won't fix!" More like you'll probably never use imps on her, and her attack stat will suck.

Imps will be incredibly rare until raid releases and we can get them through the slot machine. They'll still be pretty rare at that point. Eventually we'll get imp parades and then they'll be better.

Right now I've got Maxwell maxed, Elza 1 hp imp away from maxed, and a few units with maybe 5-10 each thrown on them.

As far as them dropping in the quest zones...good luck. I ran Zurg's zone at least 200 times trying for a breaker and only saw imps once. Never saw them in any of the previous quest zones either.

Spent all my gems on summoning today hoping for Fang. No luck. This is what I pulled:

Luther (L)
Emperor Orwen (G)
Earth Knight Edea (B)
Green Dragon Vael (G)
Sky Angel Kushra (A)
Shock Mage Rashil (G)
Cyborg Lilith (A)
Prodigy Themis (G)
Dark Blades Zergal (O)
Dark Blades Zergal (B)

At first glance none of these besides Lilith and Zergal look promising. Am I mistaken?

I've seen one in the first 4 zones of Vrik, so they're sort of rare. I maxed Elza, am close to maxing Zelnite, 1/2 way maxed on Zelnite, and will start on Maxwell once I'm at that point. You get more imps from gifts, Frontier Hunts, and super honor summons.

Vael should be good once his SBB is fixed. Kushra will get a 7* form (I think?). Lilith is a good boss killer with an infinite-SBB. I have no idea on Zergal.

Two fights 3 maidens per fight. First round is hard, second is cake. Lots of status inflictors, bb gauge drain. Reward is a gem and a stat sphere that increases attack by 100%, crit damage by 50%, but reduces rec and def.

One shotted it with lily, Rowgen,shera, zelnite, ulkina, tridion team. Wouldnt recommend bringing Rowgen.

Those are some terrible pulls. I recommend not doing any of these single unit rate ups ever unless you're buying gems. Summon when it's player's choice or a batch (6, not these half ones they've been doing). Otherwise it's just too unlikely you'll get something good. Exceptions would be something like Tridon, who I absolutely used 10 summons for because he's so OP (Ultor and the rest of the SBS units though, pass).

Edea is possibly getting a 7*, and Kushra will be getting one soon, but it's still not released yet on JP (end of month). It's likely at least 9 months away on global since we still don't have raids or 7* starters. There's a ton that goes into releasing 7*'s that we need still.

Zergel is ok, he's got good stats and a high attack buff, but I never use it since Lucca is far more versatile (attack buff is lower, but has element buffs). Themis and Rashil are good to have just to diversify your healers, but if you've got Ulkina or Lignes you'll probably never use them. Lilith is good to have if you don't have a STBB'er, but honestly Rowgen and Arus absolutely dwarf her. Worse, Taser makes all the other STBB'ers look like dog shit as he fucking crushes it.

I'm using zergel as an arena lead. His ls synergies really well with Halloween spheres and lexida. Getting 2/3 kills on turn 1 with 3/4 sbbs ready on turn 2.

Not horribly impressed with raids. The bosses run away, and it's annoying. Most of them can be easily solod. And to actually create the spheres, holy hell it's some serious farming. Meh.

Did a summon today and got a breaker Fang. I have one hell of a green collection - Rosetta, Rag, Lucca, Fang. These were four of my last five summons. The problem? Rosetta is oracle, Lucca is breaker, Fang is breaker. Gonna have an army of 6k HP hard hitters.

The difficulty of that trial was overblown a lot.

Lilly (lead), Shera, Ulkina, Elza, Zelnite, Tridon (friend). Used 2 cures and a fujin at the beginning, and 2 revives.

It'll be better once they release RC4 and 5. You've got to keep in mind RC3 was meant for pre-Zelnite's batch. Gumi just fucked it up hardcore with releasing units so quickly and no content. Really, we may end up in a similar predicament with RC4 as well.

It's also a lot more fun when you group up to do them.

So I think I have my first squad ready to go (other than spheres). They are:

Elza (A) Level 100 SBB 10
Zelnite (B) Level 100 SBB 10
Lucca (B) Level 100 SBB 10
Shera (G) Level 100 SBB 10
Rigness (G) Level 100 SBB 10

I also have Rin who is not in my squad.

Rin (G) Level 100 SBB 10

I'm not sure where to go from here. Looks like the challenges need 3 squads. I don't have the units or cost for even 2 squads right now. I pretty much own all the daily dungeons and don't need anything from them (other than the Monday XP/Karma dungeon). I guess I can finish up the story campaign and get some more gems for areas cleared. Should I try the six heroes quest in the vortex? What rewards does that give?

Any advice would be appreciated.

You don't have to take three squads. That squad will stomp trials 1 and 2. Then level grahdens from trial 2, drop lucca from the squad and stomp trial 3 with a tridion friend.

The GGC stuff is a good challenge, but unless you OTK, elements can become an issue.

That said, they're amazing spheres and will make Maxwell and Cardes considerably more manageable.

Yeah, take a tridon friend and do Light, Dark, Water, and Lightning GGCs first.
