Ayy, 70 pulls for Summer Saren. I also got Ninon while at it.

Congrats!

And yeah, as other people discussed, PriConne's rank system is weird. Some characters actually get worse by going up to the next rank due to losing a certain piece of equipment from a lower rank (usually one whose stat buff involves TP gain) that makes them better. There's a whole document on what the optimal rank for each character is that gets updated every time the maximum rank increases.

As for stars though... the vast majority of characters are best at the maximum of 5 stars because the stat boosts from ascending increase their damage output enough to outweigh the TP gain situation. Only a few specific support-focused characters are better off left at 3 stars, with Summer Saren being the most important one for the foreseeable future.
