Tamamo or Kiyo Lancer

Sometime relatively soon, I'm going to start to level one of the two Summer Lancers up. Aside from the SSR vs SR difference, which lancer is better at what and which one would y'all recommend leveling up first?

From my experience, Kiyohime Lancer is a buster/buster crit servant with her kit focusing on increasing her buster damage.

Pros:
- EX mad enhancement (12% increase)
- Bath Transformation (can hit a max 30% increase for 3 turns)
- Pursuer of Love (decreases enemy defense by a max 30% for 3 turns with a demerit of 20% enemy attack increase)
- As for CE, I've been running her with a MLB Joint Recital (20% buster and 20% crit damage increase) totaling to more than 2x her base damage just on buffs alone

Cons:
- No survival tools (No evade, invincibility, def up or even heals)
- Crit debuff abililty is situational (Can be good against assassins and archers but not much else)
- Is good at one thing which is dealing buster damage but not much use anywhere else

---

On the other hand, Tamamo Lancer is more well rounded:

Pros:
- Strong anti-male NP
- Good NP gain
- Good star generation
- Provide team wide support thru Beach Flower EX (similar effect to Charisma and has a bonus of additional crit star gen for males)
- Lots of survivability (Has charm with NP charge demerit, Has invincibility with stun demerit, HP is quite Tanky at 16K)

Cons:
- 2 out of 3 skills have significant demerits meaning you have to work around them (e.g. using charm when boss has max NP charge, using Atlas Mystic Code or bringing a debuff cleanser to clear stun debuff if boss isn't killed by Tamamo's NP)

---

All in all, as much as I love my Kiyohime Lancer, I would recommend to go with Tamamo for her extra survivability and her boss killing particularly males. Just be careful with the demerits on her skills or bring a debuff cleanser.

Hope this helps!

I also pulled Kiyo lancer and tamamo lancer from the summer event and asked the exact same question. My replies were mostly that tamamo was better in general but I leveled up Kiyo first just cause I like her more.

Thank y'all for the replies. Honestly, I would personally want to level up Kiyo first, but the fact that Tamamo is the better all-around in addition to the fact that I will need a good servant to take on Quetz when Babylonia comes out makes me think that I'll go with Tamamo first (even though I remain of the opinion that Tamamo Cat is best Tamamo).
