It doesn't really do much for me. I hate grinding the exact, same mission for experience over and over. Everything else feels like a waste of energy no matter what.
-Dailies
-Specific item farming
-Achievement hunting
-Soul Sequences
-Progress
All of those feel less than optimal before 55, and I'm not a fan of dragging myself through Steel Graves five times a day, either. ~_~
$20 seems a bit much. WoW is $15/month and has been for years.
I think their freemium model would do better with a less heavy cost on that.
Posting in this thread before it becomes a real daki.
shade, gauntilus, megiddon. aaron is okay if you're on a budget and want cheap filler.
i got rita today and she's downright hilarious with lilly's crit-focus. just str8 melts bosses.
Which one is Rita? I can't remember. 
:o Where do you get Shade from?
Candus City, Concrete Jungle - Episode 2 -- The item is Martial Arts Explained. (The card is called 'Brock' in the database.)
By the way, why are those copies so badly made, the formatting is all wrong, gidgud at copying pls.
My copy is just a 1:1 of yours, after which I cleaned up some of the lazy formatting, particularly in later sheets. /shrug The only thing that refused to play nice were images that had to be reinserted, as the overlay function doesn't appear to work. It didn't matter, since placing them in cells works.
Granted, spending some minutes fixing yours was technically pointless when an Adblock fixes all of the images. I'd never grabbed a copy of the original, but it turns out I can just... make a copy of the original.
Big Puppet is BiS, but good luck pulling one from an Akasha Transmitter--it's the only way to get it.
She's fairly versatile with cards, and many people are split between using a lot of actives and a lot of passives.
Personally, I'm going a double Shade route, Dark Gauntlet (I can't remember its card name), the Life Stealer card (also can't remember the name) from Candus City, and I'm considering picking up Cynthia.
Eventually, I'll use different cards. Snake (Viperess?) is recommended, as is the card from Blue Baton, but I have no experience with either.
Hah, someone beat me to it.

I fixed the guide from scratch (I didn't have a copy). As I suspected, protected documents and spreadsheets aren't protected at all, so you can just make copies at any time. I did some cleaning on it and organized some columns. Editing is disabled, though, so it will remain intact.
I've got some wasted points in Diabolo Spin (seriously, this thing is garbage), and some random allocated dodge skills. Most of the passive/defensive skill dumps are all poorly explained at first glance, so I thought I was buffing her basic dodge, only to learn later that it was for some crappy wake up skill I rarely use.
I'm told there's a skill reset at 55, and I really hope so. It sucks that half of my skills aren't even worth using over my basic attack most of the time.
I also run cooldown reduction on chains, since my important skills need to be up faster, and there's plenty of time to rebuild SP with aerials/basics in between.
I'll give Iris a try when she comes out, but I'll probably end up picking Haru.
Lily feels incomplete and lot of her skills chain poorly, if at all, or have terribly long animations that leave you vulnerable. Between that and her pathetic dodge skill, she's miserable to play. High risk, o.k. reward.
I agree only in the case of Lily because she doesn't seem to have invulnerability frames on her basic dodge skill. I can spam it all day during all points of an attack and still get hit repeatedly. Basically, it's useless.
The only thing I hate about Lily is her abysmal defensive options. I feel like I'm playing a Scythe Evie in Vindictus... except there's no invulnerability frames.
Even better then xD. She's not a class for noobs. She's a pure DPS class, she dies in two hits. It's a challenge to do some Steel Graves phases with her due to dying so easily.
That's because she has no tools to stay alive or effectively control anything. Just about everything in the game seems to out-range her melee attacks.

Not particularly. Leveling speeds up once you hit Candus City and you'll change gear quickly, but it dies painfully about halfway through Grace City.
I would really like the abhorrent desynchronization of strong enemy/mini-boss/boss attacks to be fixed. I am sick and tired, especially solo, of running far away, only to get combo/stunlocked by a boss on the other side of the room with his basic melee attack. It's fucking auto-death every time and there's nothing I can do. Playing Lily is pretty damn miserable as it is, since she comes with no worth-a-damn defensive options.
Akasha Transmitters. There's many valuable cards you can only get from them, and on top of that you can acquire higher grades.
Buy a cosmetic if you want it, but those are best.

Should work. Pictures didn't transfer over, but everything else did.
I have a copy of the full spreadsheet. Someone destroyed 85% of last time and I restored it, but I made a copy just in case.

When do you have to worry about it breaking?
Up to +4 is safe. After that there's a chance of breaking. I'm unsure if the chance of breaking goes up, but your chance of success continues to go down.
I failed 12 times (in a row) trying to +6->7, and it only broke on the thirteenth attempt.
Did you use anti destruction when it broke?
I broke mine in 1 try going from +5->+6..
No anti-destruction runes. Just some mediocre luck.

The writing is so bad that I rarely read through the dialogue. It's just... utterly painful. It's like reading a Twilight novel at times.
I'm playing Lily (or is it Lilly? lol nothing is consistent), and she's especially bad. She's schizophrenic or something because she swings moods and dispositions as quickly as the very next sentence.
