Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)
Of course, everything can be cleared as a freemium without problems. It's just that every map I had to retry several times, was relying heavily on ranged DPS. Most recent example is the last map of Mementos event: Undead Swarm, which took me about 9 tries or something and is the hardest map for me since Horaces last map and Solanos last map. At the same time other guys said that they were disappointed in how easy that map was and the most difficult map in that event was the map before (Slay the King of the Dead), which I for example cleared in my second blind try. The difference was: Without enough ranged firepower on the last map you had to pull some serious tricks, whereas on Slay the King you simply had to place whatever units in the right spots.
As for healers, yep, I was lucky emough to get barely enough DC's to buy Chydis on the last thursday she was in the trading post. I feel like she is not too important for most of my strategies, but I might be wrong. Several other people said this as well, so you probably have a point^^
I did mention Solano to be one of the two ranged freemium units I reckon to be really good. She has her weak points though. On maps where strong waves take longer than her skill duration you can get screwed if you don't have some other good ranged damage dealers to back her up.
Belindas +7 % is nice. But that won't really help you on maps where you really need to squish out as much ranged damage as possible, when your only other witches are Chloris and Calliope. All other platinum+ witches are better in my opinion, when you simply concider raw damage. Aside from Wall of Magic I have not seen another map, where her skill really mattered. Eliza would be the better choice in almost every situation. Sadly we skipped her event for now. Hopefully we'll get her for christmas.
As for Shiho and Echidna: I was not comparing them to other units of their class. I said they are not really an option for good ranged damage. Which is okay, since they are not really ment to (as hybrid classes), but me including them in the list of the best ranged damage units we have as freemiums pretty much shows where I'm going by itself...
Don't get me wrong. I like those units and am using them myself (well, except Bashira, as I said), I'm just saying that out of all the different unit types (ranged damage, duelists, tanks, anti-rush, reinforcements etc.) ranged units are what we are lacking the most, except for healers maybe.

Honestly, I don't really like Bashira anymore, I chose to AW Rita instead. Haven't used her for quite some time. And I am freemium. I'd use Elizabeth over her every single time - if I had her.Bashira... Okay'ish? As a free player?? Hm, she stacks well enough against her premium replacements (Elizabeth and Rachel) imo.
Besides, only archer better than our free pair is black one, Solano is hardest hitting magical AoE unit (after black version of a Summoner), Belinda used to be about only key to Wall of Magic (other than min-cost silvers), up to the rebalance patch, and is a bearer of witch-buffing passive. And there's no premium shamans or dragon shamans here at all.

There are programs that you can use to record mouse movements and clicks and let them repeat it endlessly. You ca use those for afk summoning. Biggest problem is that you'll get your unit slots all occupied at some point. Maybe put all your units in the barracks.
