@LJ: Red Sally activates at the beginning of your turns, just like Relena.

The chance of a 20% buffer with two 30% unleashers not proccing in 6 turns is around 11%. This is assuming you spend all of your unleashers on it and assuming pure RNG. If you try to save some unleasher procs, or when you consider the tendency for unleashers to congregate on one card, this chance increases to as high as 20%.

On the other hand, field has a 6% activation rate. The chance it activates in the two setup turns that this team needs is about 10%, and after the setup turns both this team and Hiraga are vulnerable to field. As long as you proc letta on turn 2, if you get fielded on turn 1, the team can turn around with an additional Letta proc. If you get fielded on turn 2, the team goes back to near-max with 2 more letta procs.

Letta getting fielded might seem more prominent since we are trained by the game to dread field, but in pure probability, getting fielded in the two setup turns is lower probability than a buffer acting up for 6 turns with full unleasher support. And unless you get double fielded, a red sally letta team can recover somewhat from field as well thanks to having enough procs reserved.

As for two lettas, that is an entirely separate argument from the easy to build team. Also, Letta is far more recent than Celestial Oracle, and thus far more accessible to newer players (same goes for santiclaus). There are players who don't have 4 salvo teams and aren't complete newbies, after all.

Proc counts are a lot more important than you are suggesting, as well. As a free player, I'm guessing you've never used the 3 proc Foxie before; her three procs means a lot when you are trying to get 25m overkills. When you are waiting for more procs, having 4 possible cards that can proc is way more efficient that relying just on the unleashers. 1 proc salvos are similar; they can't naturally proc anymore after using them once, so you are more heavily taxing your unleashers (and in turn have to save more unleasher procs, which makes the chance your buffer misbehaves worse).

If you are able to, I recommend trying out a standard 2 salvo team with just 1 proc sometime. When you lose natural procs alongside losing Hiraga's crutch def buff, it makes a ton of difference (and really makes you appreciate just how good of a card Hiraga is).
