Wow, thanks for all the responses! ^-^ The walls of text are greatly appreciated.

What I want... is to be able to fight on par with whales, both attack and defence wise (sounds silly, I know, but I get bullied enough by them that I'd like to be able to stand up to them). My whale friend explained to me that whales often see anyone without a 150CQ/TR/bell lead is seen as an easy target (he's not wrong, free players will happily try their luck against me even with Omatsu as lead and end up winning due to my luck with triggers >_>"). He would consider waiting for Wedge Bell to come out, but is she really worth the extra 20 GAs? I've also considered waiting for a dramatic anima defence to come out, but who knows when or even if that will happen.

The only issue I have with boosting my defence is that the defence increase isn't amazing. According to Record/yasushi, replacing Taurus with ToT only boosts my mean and max defence by 4k/4.5k. I'm not sure how useful that is when whales with full 15k+ phantom teams come after me. On the other hand, replacing Chris with Gretel boosts my attack by 11k/22k. Again I don't know which would be more useful (not to mention that ToT's art is miles behind Hansel and Gretel's).

Also, funny how everyone says dramatics have awful trigger rates, but I could swear Dragon God is a HTR, even when he's not my lead.
