Daoshi's shrine

Good news: I unlocked Kengo and Chaos Ruler. CR is a direct upgrade to the class that I played most often, which is great in itself. As for Kengo, it's a very interesting and aesthetically pleasing class; I don't regret not going for Glory. Anyway, I haven't been playing the story or anything like that lately; instead, I switched to Jitta because I like her artifacts and sprites better on these classes, although this doesn't mean Gran has bad ones.
Bad news: during the last banner, I decided to pull until I got my first SSR. Initially, my motivation to take the risk was based on the fact that I wouldn't see the summer pool again for another year, but then I kept pulling even after the update. Well, as a result, the number of pulls exceeded 50, and there were still no SSRs in sight. Soon, I ran out of tickets and crystals. To be honest, I can't find a logical explanation for this, and I'm already getting tired of my "bad luck" in games with such mechanics, but apparently, there's nothing I can do about it.
Also +Four-Sky Blade (dark).
Plans: Atma sword, Bonito, Koda dagger, SSR upgrade for fire and water Seraphim.

For now, I will evaluate the characters that I have had time to get acquainted with – those whom I maxed out and played enough with.

Character	Art	Sprite	Gameplay	Comment
	❤❤❤❤❤	✦✦✦✦✦	✷✷✷✷	I'm very happy that I didn't give in to silly impulses and change my spark target at the last moment. She is versatile, performs many useful functions, and deals decent damage. She should work well in any setup, whether it's one based on enmity or any other. The only downside is the long cooldown of her skills and/or the lack of a fourth skill that would complement her kit. Other: I'm saving my Damascus virginity for her fallen sword.
	❤❤❤	✦✦	✷✷✷✷	She is the strongest of my characters in terms of the impact she has had on overall gameplay. I perfectly understand why Zoya is considered such a strong character, but the questionable usefulness in more difficult content does not allow me to rate her higher. Other: I hope for a rerun of "Auld Lanxiety"; both the sprite and art are very nice there.
	❤❤❤❤	✦✦✦✦	✷✷✷	She is very strong, especially in combination with Zoya, but her kit is quite boring, and I don't like Anti-Reversal at all.
	❤❤❤(❤)	✦✦✦	✷✷✷	Since I moved Vira to the back row, I often find myself missing her veil, and this is probably her main characteristic in team building because she lags behind other, more specialized characters in terms of damage and support functions. This, however, does not make her weak, and I move her to the front row in difficult battles where using Zoya doesn't pay off. Other: I use the second art from her SR version as the coolest one.
	❤❤	✦✦✦	✷✷	DEF Down bot. She served me well until Jeanne appeared, but now there is no need for her. And, in my opinion, her art is a bit outdated.
	❤❤❤	✦	✷✷✷	She can do everything – she has refresh, DMG cut, multiattacks, veil, and even a good buff on C.A., but like all Jack of all trades, she doesn't have any pronounced advantages or useful combinations with other characters. I like her face on the first art, but overall, the design is so-so.
	❤❤❤❤❤	✦✦	✷✷✷✷✷	An ideal partner for Silva or Kengo and strong in herself. I don't see any particular downsides, especially since both of her main skills have very short cooldowns relative to their duration.
