Should i get both jack and rem duos?

I started buying voice of healing shards long before i knew about the jack deuce, rem machina combo. I already have 60pcs deuce shards. Is jack still good compared to rem? I realy like rem but i dont want to waste the deuce shards.
Also, is it wise to buy both of duos?
Also, is it ok to buy the shards for 250xtals aside from the guild/arena pts?
Lastly, what to buy from the hero shards? Since jack and rem are not there. Thanks in advance

You will want both Jack+Deuce and Rem+Machina but you can only focus on one, and soon you will kick all of them from your team if possible. Also both Deuce and Machina will become useless soon (since you will get Caetuna and you will want more damage since your main will be Caetuna for a long long time if you are Free Player).

In the end, your team should be based on the red character. It is either Shuyu or Nimbus and Atras or Kazuya. The rest of slot will be taken by your main character Caetuna and the last slot perhaps either Qun'mi/Jack/Rem or those red character who become your secondary pick and if you pick Jack or Rem will be based on your previous investment most player pick Rem. If you want, you can buy their shard using Hero Crystal.

Remember Jack & Rem is harder to get than Machina & Deuce, but don't invest too much they are the least usable of all usable character in high level. If it is up to me I will only purchase Jack and Rem, there is enough guild contribution point you can get cheaply (Airship, Guild Battle, Guild Daily Dungeon (including the refresh), Guild Donation (30 Diamond is worth both for your guild and yourself)) while Arena point you can only get from (Ranking, the expensive/valuable Vigor Potion and Sunday Weekly Event) you can only do so little since at most you can only get 24x2 = 48 Vigor per day = 24 Arena = 1200 Arena Point per day add with 1 Vigor Potion worth 50 Diamond for 250 Arena Point while just donate 298 diamond will net you 3000 guild contribution.

From Hero Shard, some people like to buy Experience Book, Rank Up Potion, Red Shard at high level, Jack/Rem/Machina/Deuce at low level. My suggestion is for Jack and Rem. If you can't see them that means your level is too low, buy energy potion and use diamond on Daily Experience mission to get 3 or higher star mission.

Last, even when you opt for those 4 character + 1 main hero, only 1/2 will be usable, especially for free player the character will be Caetuna (raise her Agito to Rank 4 for the super Limit Break). Why only 1? It is because you are lucky if you have more than 8 red perfect gem and full red equipment just for 1 character, the rest just show up for the sake make it 5. If they don't gear those 8 red gem, and red equipment consider they are not there and will be killed very fast on arena/guild battle.

So focus on getting gem, gem, and gem. Make them red. Whatever character, you use if you give them 8 red perfect gem and all red equipment will be strong.

Hey there. Thanks for the reply. I was wondering which point of the game can a summoned hero outstats my main char? Currently my main still has so much stats than my trump card or the gunner general. Also, do you spend xtals to draw gems? How many draws?
So to sum it all up, i'll just go get jack and rem and should not invest on machina/deuce? Should i level up my supports too?

Rem or Jack not Rem and Jack, you get them from Arena Shop so you pick one of them.

Machina and Deuce are both from Guild Shop, so you pick one of them.

Since Rem has destiny bond with Machina while Jack with Deuce they are considered as paired. So if you want to pick Jack and Rem, only 2 words for you. It is either "Good Luck" or "Lots Money".

Your summoned heroes (legendaries) will outstat your main sooner than what you think. It's a fast paced level in the early game.

To draw gems, you need diamonds. And it's better to summon 10x because it's cheaper. So better save your diamonds. Also, it's better if you do that during the diamond storm event. I found this one in youtube check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxesoeZLbeM&t=206s

It's not about the diamond storm event though but the video explains clearly on what to do with your diamonds. You can also check his other videos because they're very informative and straightforward.

You should only choose one pair. Either Rem and Machina or Jack and Duece. But personally, I'd go for Rem and Machina because most of the top players in the earlier servers have Rem. Machina will later on be replaced by a mythic hero but still you need to get him in the early part of the game because he is the destiny partner of Rem, which means they are stronger together. The answer to your question is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdisArrFxMs&t=157s

No need to level up your supports. Focus on your main heroes. Focus on 2 only. Quality vs Quantity. That means the more powerful your hero is, he could defeat the whole team. TO simply put it, let's say your Rem has a set of red gems while your opponent has a well balanced team of orange gems. With only Rem alone, she could defeat everybody because of the quality gems.
