George & Emilia, Nomoth, Relm Rollot, A+ Ketsa, Czarna?

Although the thing that makes G&E so good, besides the SS, is that it hits like a truck from turn 1. If you're relying on a combo, you're comparing directly with Isabeli. I especially don't like these "HP over 80/90%" spirits relying on combos because you want their damage on tap from turn 1 before they start taking hits (and having their damage earlier means quicker fodder kills meaning taking no hits at all).

Relm might just get away with it because her AS damage is actually a little above Isabeli (especially taking into account that she has one more +100 atk to all red spirits than Isabeli does) although the fact that Isabeli has a better nuke and doesn't need to stay above 80% health comes into it. I don't think Nomoth does, especially with such lousy hippos.

I think you'd only use Nomoth if you needed his SS to survive some particular attack in a quest, and just treat his damage as a bonus when it's up.
