Since we no longer have any tournaments, you should focus on quest-oriented spirits. And when doing so, you should focus on which spirits "need" Hidden Powers the most.

The one spirit of yours that "needs" Hidden Powers the most is, in my opinion, Chihiro since she's your only water element spirit with a Delay skill and when vanilla, she's basically useless for anything harder than a 3-star quest. Pump her full of Hidden Powers, then place her in a deck full of Water HP Ups and she'll be fit for the Demon's Gauntlet (you will need to call upon a helper with a Shield skill as well).

Next up, you should focus on the spirits with the most Team Ups, mostly Team ATK Ups + emblem boosts. Tote Tapiro is spirit in your arsenal that benefits the most from Ethers in this regards due to the +300 Team ATK Up (100 Thunder, 200 All) + Team HP Up and Emblem Boost.

You should also consider putting some Ethers into Bahamut to make him usable for you, unless you're already at a high enough level where deck cost is immaterial. Bahamut + Tote Tapiro + Eterna Pom = Massive amounts of damage.

You have two spirits which are two sides of the same coin: Lennox and Tsubaki. Lennox has unconditional a multiplier of 2.3x while Tsubaki has an unconditional multiplier of 1.6x. However, because of their differences in ATK (Lennox: 1655 when vanilla, 2355 when fully released, Tsubaki: 2399 when vanilla, 3299 when fully released), their damage output is basically the same. (Against water; Lennox: 2854 (4062), Tsubaki: 2878 (3958)). Keep in mind, though, that the more Team ATK Ups or ATK Boosters (Tote Tapir, Eterna Pom) you have in your team, the more Tsubaki will outdamage Lennox, so Tsubaki is the superior choice in this. Even when it comes to nukes, despite having a 50% multiplier advantage over Tsubaki, Lennox comes up short.

Another important spirit to unlock is <3!Itsuki because of his Cure Skill. He's the only water element Curer you've got and several fire element superbosses basically require curers. For that same reason, unlock Aphrodite. More and more events will require Curers as we get more Orla Reports and Abyss Codes.

The rest is just up to preference. In my opinion, unlock the spirits with the most Team ATK Ups first because offense is the best defense nowadays. That said, Chronoa is also a good candidate, as is Czarna due to their Special Skills.

Where's your summer!Dunkell, by the way? I see Tomoe, but no summer!Dunkell. Were you simply not strong enough to acquire him?
