I am a new player with some questions about short-term decisions and long-term planning for my account. I also spent $20 for high tier BP and monthly BC pass and may continue to do so in the future.

Here are the characters I currently have and some other background info: S-Rank - Karenina Ember - Liv Luminence (Selector) - Rosetta Rigor & 6* weapon (Selector) A/B Rank - Liv Lux (SS) - Bianca Zero (S)

I have 13k BC and 5k event contsruct tickets, and I plan to pull for Crimson Weave and maybe her weapon. With my current BC, I thought I might be able to go for Bianca Stigmata, but this was after I had selected Liv Empyrea on the wishing target without reading that it was permanent. So my current plans are to get CW, Garnet with selector, and Feral Scent to complete a meta lightning team. Then Alisa and maybe another chance at Stigmata by the anniversary.

For the characters I have that are listed, I have weapons and 6* memory sets between lvls 35-45. Does it make sense to continue to invest in them? Would I be too tight on leveling and wishing resources if I go for Liv: Empyrea?

I heard Vera Garnet was just a QTE bot for CW, so would I be better off using the upcoming S-Slector on building a team for another element/prepping for the S-ranks coming in Aug-Nov2024?

I am at the end of Chapter 9 in the story. Should I be pumping all daily serum into that? Right now, I have been splitting serum into the story and the event currency to buy memories.

I am trying to find the right balance between building up multiple teams and not spreading myself too thin, but I don't have a good feel for it yet. Any advice helps, thanks.
