What Commtech said is what I've thought and said before, those old spirits with Medium heal at S or "bad" skills like Absorb/Self-heal are always going to suck no matter how good their Hidden Powers are.

Colopl chose the route of power-creep, increasing the power level of spirits more and more, while throwing some decent Hidden Powers at the older spirits but doing nothing else about them.

Look at Stella, no one wants to use her lategame because of Absorb, but if you bought lots of crystals previously and invoked a lot, you'll probably have many spare copies you can unlock Hidden Powers with, which makes her somewhat useable.

The older spirits should have their stats and skills revised and brought back into invocation. Lol at Yuniko and Pegasus still having 47 DC (JP version revised it to 41, they still suck cos of 8 turn emblem and medium heal), and Yuniko is still in the pool!

Remake Absorb and Self-heal into more useful skills. While at it, remake the "damage increase for fallen allies" skill too. It's in the same tier.

I love this game, but I wish they'd do better in balancing the game. Look at Pino, imbalanced as hell, those killer stats with Massive heal, 6 turn emblem, 37 DC, AND she is in permanent pool.
