Yea, Shiva is pretty sweet now as a sub, works as either a defensive break OR as a Horus type burst. Also, devil subtype is awesome for a typical devil burst team. or Physical for a typical mono-red.
Lakshmi still going to be mostly worthless, even with all of her buffs (active and awakenings and busty all buffing), I guess one type you would use on a rainbow healer team (for like samurai dragons maybe) and then her balance subtype I don't see being useful EXCEPT on a blue balance team... but really what's the point of using that team at all, it's like the most specific team build you could possibly use and strictly speaking worse off than a standard green balance team. Or maybe as a sub on the Blue lolcannon team that is available to JP and isn't in the U.S.?
Ceres getting bind immunity is HUGE for her, puts her back up on top as "required" for lucifer or astaroth teams.
Neptune and Minerva getting bind immunity also helps all 3 of them compete to make dual resist lead setups viable again.
Not looking forward to skilling up my Freyr/Freyja/I&I again just to keep them competative, at least CoC and Groove coaster aren't too bad, because it'll also let me skill up my artemis again (I could of sworn she used to max at 11, now she's able to go to 9) and my UFO.
I imagine that skill-lock resist like bastet is getting is going to either be completely overpowered or completely useless just like poison and blind resist. But since my go-to team includes double bastet leads, yomi and izanagi anyways, looks like I'll be good to go for whenever that descend skill decides to hit us. Maybe I'll have to level up my Okunushi as a sub for that team to get the 100% skill-lock immunity since I don't have an Indra I'd be able to use for like a double Yomi 9x light team.
