LS is strictly the best overall unit in the game for arm and leg, so every other unit is just less-than (unless you're ultra atk Min-maxing either with Chal arm or Allure leg). Meanwhile they make tons of different rear units that are all viable and interchangeable depending on how you want to play.
Want a ton of HP to abuse phantom's 85 skill? Rappy shine. Want a great mix of every stat? Lightstream. Want decent hp, good pp, and extreme atk stats? Orgei. Want all the PP and atk we feel like giving you? Mask of Vain.
These units are all very viable and arguably on equal footing with each other, so that at the very least if you can't get a Lightstream/mask drop, you can get Orgei and it is still a top tier unit, so you don't have to do some BS placeholder affix on a sub-par unit while you wait for "luck" to smile on you if you don't want to.
But when it comes to Arms and legs, it is undeniable that Lightstream is just... Better. If you don't manage to get lucky enough for them to drop, well I guess you get to use Bode? Cleasis? Qliphad? If you're lucky with this new quest then Awake?
I've now done over 200 persona runs via EQ or triggers, approaching 250 runs, and have yet to get a single LS leg drop, but I've had 3 of each other unit drop, including every Austere unit. Hundreds of hours put into the game just specifically for those units, and literally nothing but duplicates and trash to show for it.
Give me other top tier options.
