true also  but hybrid really hard to build and need alot of rare tm to make strong. (i got 0 noctis)
i spent rm49.9 turn my lapis into 5K  summon the new banner (i have alot 7-8 5star sit at level 1, need alot resource to pump up, perhaps is time now)
ouch, i got nothing from summon except 2 x Wakka and  2 x Seymour (so lucky and enough for me get bonus from event)
this morning, my hand to itchy again spent 1 x 3* ticket then i got lulu, lol... i have no idea what i'm gonna do with her.
eventually i wish get yuna or healer again. i need re-raise skill.   
eventually i die 2 time on SOL too because i'm not powerfull enough to defeat him (i didnt read any faq or wiki go fight him, at first though is easy, hahaha)
on 3rd round, i use chow at magic defender and healer (equip all spr and hp item only), dv cast "defensive Barrier" and "impact" and the rest is physical unit, like cloud (friend unit, 1300 dmg). my self got pg lasswell  at 900+ dmg, and trance terra at 800+ dmg i think (with lousy magic weapon, omnirod & wizard rod)

but last event, you should got overdrive weapon, i think Rikku is shine, her LB could none stop reraise your team with overdrive weapon.

just spent 2 tickets and got Seymour,done
I save the rest for better banner,not interested to pull anything anymore since we also have free summons now ^^
I lost too first time battling with Sol
at 28% of his HP,suddenly he healed himself and wiped out my whole team lol

then I followed this guide,

using Dispel,boost and attack. must follow the order correctly to remove his Dispelga attack,then only can finish him

last boss is super easy if you got tt... i was shock first chapter last boss easy to kill then sol. hahaha

Kinda got few good units. Folka waifu

Shes Folka. She used to be Veritas of the Water. Yep shes kinda healer type that could make the group immune to everything except berserk

just wanna share that I got my first Trance Terra today from 1 Summer ticket 
hell yeah!!
now I haz 7* Hyou,7* Awakened rain,7* Ayaka
after the banner end I'm going to use Uoc tix to enhance Trance terra to 7* woohoo the wait is over!

yes
anything that can make the battle easier,just go for it. Ayaka is a good healer
you can grind select summon tickets again later but to score a specific unit from large summon pool like we have right now,it takes luck.

I spent a lot previously hoping to get Trance terra (plus 50 tix on her current 7* banner) but ended up with 3 copies each of Ramza,M Ramza,Duke and CG Jake. really sad lol

old hag is weak to light element.
break her defense first then get your veritas of Light to do the damage. try not to drag the battle for more than 2 turns and equip your team with stone resistance. if you can find Malphasie in companion list,kaw tim her in one shot

I mean it's not a TDW but the STMR is pretty decent. I hope I get third Sora yesterday but instead got Cloud from the banner.   

bye bye Sora    . Dont know when the banner will release again. hope for 100% STMR moogle

there will be a story update next thu

I would say 3 blank prism is better! Actually no need to fixated to only use it on limited time TMR. Hairpin of Purity, Ring of Lucii, etc are very good candidate for that as well.

3 UoC can't help much since you need 10 for a pull.
