Cannot be merged units

I feel if they have a substantial amount of higher stats, for a F2Per, they would have barely any reasons to pull gacha besides the first few times and pay money if they were to eventually pay.

But Fury can do all you need... 3+ to all status

Your Anna would be like u wished, ironically.

They are the starters. F2p here, i stopped using all of them week 1. Theres so many heroes to choose from and Shareena is still a solid lance infantry unit. I suppose its normal for a starter pack to have one good unit and several lackluster units so players are encouraged to play the dice getting other units.

Are you really trying to say that (Anna) 46 attack and 38 speed without skills is not enough? What kind of god-tier-game-breaking units did you want them to be? Both Anna and Sharena are fantastic, but Alfonse does lack quite a bit. They might as well be giving away +10s if they were to make this a thing. But i also don't see why people claim that the trio "require a lot of work" to make into a 5*. If you're lazy, just use crystals. Even then, you're guaranteed like 600 SP at lvl 1 5*, assuming you used crystals and nothing more. If you manually grind them to level 30ish (which takes no more than a few hours, even without using potions) a day, you're guaranteed to have quite a stack of SP for set-building. There is no need to make them "more rewarding". I have a 5* Anna and 5* Sharena, along with 4* Alfonse (Would 5*, but the poor bastard is really no use), so i think i can say that "the grinding" was nowhere near as bad as people claim it to be. As a matter of fact, the units far exceeded my expectations from my initial belief on how they would fare. Sharena's utility both as an offensive in the current red-based meta as well as her amazing support availability and overall balanced stats is more than what you could ask for for a unit who is given to everyone. Anna is also just a monster. You try to pass off the argument that she can't stop a + unit with Life and Death as if it somehow lowers her value. Umm? She's got the 2nd highest (Neutral) speed in the game. If you're that concerned, just give HER Life and Death 3 and see how that plays out.

Unless you're throwing hundreds of dollars at this game on a daily basis, these units are pretty damn good. And if you are throwing that much money at this game, what are you doing?

Edit:
Got a little shook writing this, i just don't see how someone can really complain about (2/3) of these units when they're handed to you on a silver platter and are still quite good.
