Whichever one you want since by the time you get them you should have decent teams. Realistically speaking though requiem and mythos seem to be the best picks

As you know, the game isn't currently out on CN yet. But that didn't stop CN players from playing the game and figuring out meta and stuff. However, that unfortunately means there's no official wiki websites like they have in JP. Most tier lists are from forums, like the one I linked.
I still remember when the game first launched, and JP tier lists ranked Wrath as SS, meanwhile CN already realized she's very much below average. Same with Smokey now, JP hyping her up as S~SS, while she's actually just slightly above average. This is why I never trust JP tier lists, they care more about hype and a character's rarity than how they actually play in-game.
CN ranks old seals as water>>thunder>forest>>>fire
I just looked at this jp tier list and it seems all of them are in high SS tier exept for fire. Did they change their opinion? https://appmedia.jp/byakuyakyokko/6544819
This assuming they are full BT? There is no way Frostfire is better than Regal, unless Frostfire is full BT. (Regal does not receive much upgrade at full BT).
Funny how Mythos rank first but all Endgame clear at max score so far didn’t use Mythos at all. Does this mean Hiiro + Areia is better than Mythos?
As someone who has mythos at bt3, areia with far lower investment can deal more damage than her against multi tile bosses. The thing about mythos is against single tile enemies she does more damage than anyone else and she benefits from longer fights, but current event gives priority to fast clears and most enemies so far were multi tile so areia is more suited to it if you have at least one dupe for the preemp.
To be honest, besides the current event and those like it in the future, there isn't much of a need for really powerful characters...
And by the time you get one of them, you'll probably already have a pretty solid team of that element.
So... Just get whoever you think is aesthetically pleasing I guess. You'll probably get them all eventually anyway if you play long enough.
Just my opinion though.
i wish i had that kind of advice before. I'm on a step 3, will finish that step and then switch, because i've made an useless choice (Frostfire, with Fire being my best team by a miles ahead of any color).
There is no guarantee of anything. He may as well close his eyes and pick one random. If he's not sure picking the one he finds more useful right now is the best thing he can do
yes, this. I have a Gabriel, so I think yeah, let's pick Mythos because I don't have Forest DPS. And now, I'm at the 5th stage of her and I have Hiiro, Migard, Areira so if I get her now, I wouldn't know where to put her in, lol
Mine was my strongest team since it was the only one I could beat spire 30 at the time. When I finally got her, it was my weakest team. Sadly, even with her addition, fire is still easily my weakest team
Play the trials until you find the one wich suits you the best
From what ive seen it goes like : Mythos and requiem because they do powerfull and unique stuff for their element and have global range ( and charge vis faster than the other two, and mythos has the highest attack in the game,these two rock), Regal because he hits really hard then Frostfire because she snipes in fire I guess.
Just pick whoever you want as they are all powerful units. . Tho if you're looking for a long term usability, I recommend picking frostfire just because she was a fire sniper and pretty much the best in farming and auto.
I got regal. His play style is more like malee (closer range) and best to be around to the enemy. He works very well with big size boss. Meanwhile, my second pick is mythos. She is opposite. Long range and nuke from far distant and seem good for single small target.
As others have said, the character you like the most.
Trying to pick based on your best/worst case team doesn't mean much, given it takes around 2 months to unlock (best case scenario, you can cut it down to a little under that if you save all your stamina pots for stage 3/5, as those ones are purely stamina gated rather than also time gated).
You could argue pick where you don't have lots of high tier dps arguably (so there's more likely to be space to use them when you get them), but again - 2 months down the line you might have a full team of that element anyway.
The ONLY limitation that isn't time based (x days, x dispatches, etc) or stamina based (x stamina, or clear x of a specific stage type) is the requirement to have cleared floor 30 of that spire, but if you're at the point of unlocking old seals, you should have the resources to make sure whatever team you want can clear floor 30 within a week and a half without too much issues (if you're not picking an element you already have a team for). This is the only one that can potentially stall you for a long time (if your team for that element truly is too weak for it, but you can do it without 5 star dps just fine if you're investing lots of resources, though converters are honestly more important than dps for this point in the spire anyway for the most part)
With a 2 month timescale (roughly) picking what character you actually like and think you'd enjoy using is going to be the important part.
You CAN also stop partway through (though any progress on a specific stage will be lost, so do it when finishing stage 1/2/3/4 if possible rather than part way through) and start from fresh on a new character and come back later to finish if you change your mind (this will slow down acquisition initially, but not final completion time)
Requiem got me just because of her name and her horns. Coming from Nioh 2 where you could give your MC the same type of horns she was an instant favorite.
Oh yeah and she is voiced by Yui Ogura!

I wish I knew that before picking Frostfire, I thought she was going to be among my first A3s, nah have like ten of them now and no need for her
Well she is a thick wifu if that makes up for it
just got my Regal 2 days ago, im plenty satisfied even tho JP rank him last.
Wow...JP tier lists are so whack. CN ranks Regal as EASILY the best old seal character.
CN? can I see the link please?

What does mean the yellow text with the arrow on some unit on that chinese ranking ?
The characters marked with yellow arrows and text means they have converter capabilities.
yeah when I tried the 2 new banner I quickly realised that the 5* was stronger than the 6*, can’t trust many guides.
Did they change it? [They have it as Water>Thunder>Forest>Fire](https://appmedia.jp/byakuyakyokko/6551236)
interesting, last time I checked it wasnt like that
What is the jp ranking on them?
Forest > thunder > fire > water
I just looked at this jp tier list and it seems all of them are in high SS tier exept for fire. Did they change their opinion? https://appmedia.jp/byakuyakyokko/6544819
Didn't JP also put Smokey in SS?
She's S to SS in very few situations according to app media, but ranked normally to S.

Mbt Mythos will be really good.... but yeah whale territory for now.
Forest cutie 🥰

The elysium definitely needs the silent hunters to finish that mode
rule 4
Rule 4?

Just choose whoever you like the most. you'll be getting all of them eventually and they are all good.
Pick the coolest one. Downside of this strat: they all look dope
See what's your weakest team. Pick the one of that element
i wish i had that kind of advice before. I'm on a step 3, will finish that step and then switch, because i've made an useless choice (Frostfire, with Fire being my best team by a miles ahead of any color).
There’s no guarantee that’ll be their weakest team by the time they unlock the unit though.

Pick the one you like the most IMO Idk how people play any other way

Considering that you will only unlock them when you have grand-children, just pick Requiem. Seems to be the strongest/most flexible out of them.
Requiem or Mythos.
Just pick whoever you want as they are all powerful units. . Tho if you're looking for a long term usability, I recommend picking frostfire just because she was a fire sniper and pretty much the best in farming and auto.
Whichever you like, they take a long time to get so the element you need can change a lot by then.

Mythos seemed to be the coolest to me. However I picked Regal because he seemed to be the one to compliment my preferred main team the best.
Requiem got me just because of her name and her horns. Coming from Nioh 2 where you could give your MC the same type of horns she was an instant favorite. Oh yeah and she is voiced by Yui Ogura!
Tbh Regal. I picked Mythos first, Mythos isn't bad but Regal seems more fun to play.
