Hi Andrew.

Always get the combat ones:
1. BT: Boss, Crit
2. DS: Boss Damage
3. Kanna: Damage
4. DA: Damage
5. Xenon: %all stats
6. Phantom: Crit

Then, for more PDR (if needed):
7. Zero: PDR and Damage Reduction
8. Luminious: PDR

Your other 4, you have a few options.
Cannoneer, Jett and Hayoto's give more damage and stats, but imo, they're kinda small and negligible to get (though Jetts could be useful, depending on your luck).
ABs do give burst damage, and I guess when you bind, it's helpful.
Imo, getting 3 cygnus's and 1 AB or just 4 cygnus links would be your best option. I believe Cygnus's give +3% or 5% elemental and status resist (I forgot which) at level 120, so having 3~4 of them would give you either 9~12% or 15~20% elemental and status reduction reduction.
But knowing you, maybe you'd want to put the mercedes link in there.

Also, character cards you might want to consider:
- Marksman: Crit rate
- Demon Slayer: Abnormal Status Resist
- Demon Avenger: Boss Damage
- Kaiser: Strength
- Xenon: All Stats
- Hayato: Minimum Crit Damage
- Kanna: Boss Damage
- Beast Tamer: PDR
- Shade: Min and Max Crit Damage

[quote=raystarlmao]Angelic buster is great for burst damage, use with bind, soul split, and hypers
Also if you cast you will notice a small delay, backstep can cancel that, same with using soul weapon ability[/quote]

also cancels the delay at the end of your 170 hyper

If you've leveled a Jett, and have the capabilities to spend a little NX, then you can gain 30+ Wep Atk on its link.
At least Lvl it to 120 and you can lock the skills in for a month and so on.
If you want a quick increase in damage, Angelic Buster.
If you want an increase in HP, Kaiser.

Status resist is important. It keeps you from being that guy who constantly gets hit by c queen fire or empress tornados. You may have your fishies for some protection but they won't be on at all times.

Phantom
Lumi
da
kanna
xenon
cygnus (max of 25% status resist)
Beast tamer
zero
ds
mercedes
cannon master
last slot. Do with it what you want.

A Hayato character card is always nice
