I'm finally close to getting my first 5* support candy and confused about who to invest it on. Currently leaning towards Lillie but I'd love to get some more opinions.
Oh wait, I think I forgot to add the NY, I meant NY Lillie.Don't use it on a non-limited character like Lilie. These things are super rare, they should be saved for characters that are nearly impossible to level up by normal means. As far as Supports go, this is Mei, Christmas Mei, Christmas Erika and New Year's Lilie (Majicos Green is likely to recieve a number of reruns).
If you already have 2/5 Mei, I wouldn't waste it on her. She has some nice 3/5 nodes (Speeding Sun, a second X Sp. Attack MP refresh, On The Ropes 3), but none of them are real game changers for her, and she works perfectly fine at 2/5.
2/5 Christmas Mei gives her extra hail nodes with Ice Shell and Hasty Hail, making her an actually very solid hail tank (her initial hail passsives aren't all that). Summer Daigo has a hasty Hail node too, so the value of this upgrade depends a bit on whether you already use him with that. 3/5 Christmas Mei is really good though.
As for Majicos Green, the only thing he gets at 2/5 that's even remotely worthy of note is MP Refresh To The Top. He's not worth your candy at all. The 3/5 upgrade is really good though.
If you don't have any of the other supports, Christmas Mei is the best 2/5 upgrade you can get, in addition to a step on the way to 3/5. You can also just save it until you get another potential candidate, or a second candy. I still haven't used my *5 Tech candy.
Though if your regular Mei is still 1/5, by all means use it on her. She REALLY wants 2/5 and MP refresh on her gauge move.

Shared Fortune isn't worth it I think. The buffs are random, it costs 12 energy and is too far from the other tiles. Tighten Up is good for tanking but even without it Erika can keep herself and the entire team alive without any problems. I usually pair her with Leaf for the buffs.New Year's Lilie gets MP refreshes on her non-attack moves from the getgo. At 3/5 she gets Master Healer and a very generous MP Refresh on Leech Life for some really solid healing, but just like Majicos Green, at 2/5 she just doesn't improve much from 1/5. 30% chance of MP refresh on basic Leech Life and 30% chance for a +1 Def buff when she, an evasion tank, takes damage isn't really worth such a rare candy. A lot of the more recent units need 3/5 to access the actually relevant parts of their grid.
I'd consider Christmas Erika, though. At 3/5 she gets Shared Fortune 2 on Lei Up, which is a very nice upgrade for it, plus a really nice for a tank 40% chance at a +1 Sp Def buff when she takes damage. It's a much better upgrade than the others can get.
Rosanta is only worth it if you use hail team. Like Dephender said, Summer Steven, Glacia and Rosanta are a pretty solid team. Even with Rosanta at 1/5 it sort of works okay but the actual hail tiles unlock at 2/5 and without them she's not the best tank.I'm also torn between using it on SS Blue and NY Lillie.
I think Blue would benefit from the extra healing nodes AND impervious but at the same time I don't like him that much and I think NY Lillie is quite good.
A part of me wishes to use it on Free!Rosa because I like her.
Never considered using it on Rosanta though.
Rosa is an interesting choice. I don't think she really gets anything important at 3/5?
Is it because literally her, Hapu, and Clay are the only Ground-type trainers of the current roster.Beat Champion’s Cup for this week. I really wish I had Cynthia because the Ground Type pairs I have are so underwhelming.
Unfortunately. Hopefully we get like SS Giovanni, Bertha, or Palmer with Rhyperior. Just give me something else pleaseIs it because literally her, Hapu, and Clay are the only Ground-type trainers of the current roster.

Lillie really needs 3/5 to get most of the good stuff. I don't intend on pulling on her eventual rerun so I'd have to give her candies eventually. Was and still kinda am leaning more towards Lillie but Dephender has made me consider Rosanta more lol.
