I think she'll be my next one.  Really annoyed the last 2 I saved for have been powercrept so hard. 

Which? My first two were Duchess and Rotos, glad Duchess is good in Chimera/Hydra to an extent. 

Rotos is still great 

But I regret duchess.... even dare I say siphi on alt

Bought wukong on both... still use occasionally...

I think both have eaten it a lot in PvP, though Rotos is still relevant for sure (hello Niamhe)

duchess isn't bad, can be used in 16-18 trial teams for chimera 

I took my Siphi to 6S and have no regrets.....other than pulling a 5S for her after I already got her that far.     

No qualms about taking Lamasu to 3 star, which is all I have been able to do so far. I use her for Chimera & Hydra.

Michinaki and Siphi. 

Wukong at least is still event dungeon MVP.

Yes, and still so versatile across pvp and pve.  And just a function champ as well. Michinaki... meh 😆 

Do we all need to post  1star clan shop refreshes to contribute evidence for @wiley 😆 

There was a time that I wanted to take Valk to at least 5 star, but then, along came Narses and kicked her out of my PVP squad entirely.  I took her to 3 star before she got sidelined:

Another counter point to your conspiracy theory is that we all naturally are going to see higher souls in the market over time.  This will continue to contribute to the recency bias.

He was great and then they rebalanced Hydra.  Now I am sadge.
