A lot of people are reporting a much lower incidence of gold invokes now than before. Personally, I got 4 megas with 1 gold invoke and 4 crap invokes. I haven't had more than 1 such invoke in every 20 invokes since the gold increase. Overall, my megas had about half the amount of gold invokes they used to have. A lot of people are reporting seeing the same thing. I personally believe they quietly changed the invoke parameters without telling us. Or they messed up and did so accidentally.

As for Akari vs. regular!Akari, they both have an iTCC of 7, but kimono!Akari has a vanilla TCC of 10. kimono!Akari has an extra emblem boost and a 40% boost without the need of a combo of 3. Isabeli has that amount of boosting, but with a combo requirement of 3. Furthemore, both Akari's Special Skills have the same boost, 40% (I've tested kimono!Akari's Special Skill by using helpers).

Since the boost is "only" 40%, you need to bring about 3 massively powerful nukers for Akari's boost to inflict as much damage as Isabeli's nuke. All-in-all, kimono!Akari isn't that essential. She's a souped up version of regular!Akari, sure, but you can get basically the same thing out of using regular!Akari and a bunch of Isabelis. christmas!Settia, also, isn't that essential, unless you don't have any other thunder delayers. Answer Skill healing is becoming less and less important with each passing day versus a need for DPS. Plus, SS Touma has a Massive thunder boost and a 75% Special Skill heal (TCC of 7, iTCC of 5).

Seleth, however, is infinitely useful. A multiplier of 2.3x when not being leader and a multiplier of 3x if she is leader (only right now she's glitched and her multiplier is 3x regardless) and a 3-turn pan-shield, much better than Aura's 2-turn pan-shield.
