I feel that the term "game changing" is used too much in this game. It seems like there's always another game changing unit just around the corner. Rikku was game changing, and I barely used her.
I'm sure Ayaka is great. I'm also sure I'll never get her. If I throw everything at a banner, I can reliably get a 4 star. That's all I can hope for. Pulling for 5 stars is whale territory.

Ayaka will make a lot of content easier because she's a 5* base healer. And her skill set is ridiculous. Basically think of anything you'd want your healer to be able to do. The answer is yes, she does that.

I think we're past the point where units are game changing. Well, actually, the next unit I think is game changing is Mistair, a magic tank that has the "all allies" cover mechanic, but is geared in a really good way:
Of note, the cover is 3 turns out of the gate, and on the off turns she can remove debuffs from herself and heal/boost, or "innoculate + stop" the team. Against any magic heavy enemy, she's clutch.
Necessary? Unlikely. But very useful, and is "only" a 4 star base. So, she's game changing in the sense that she allows for significantly different party configs for certain content. Your other examples are also good ones: Rikku is game changing if you die a lot; Ayaka is game changing if you don't have Tilith or need significant healing because your healer needs TMRs that you lack, etc. Personally, I don't care at all about Ayaka, because pulling a unit for Arena is dumb, no bosses use Stop significantly, and her dualcast doesn't really change much of what she can do. OK, she can heal for around 4k and still raise a unit, that's helpful, or put a reraise and a big heal. Otherwise, she's just a non-limited healer that doesn't look like a fashion explosion.
I'd sub out Refia for Tilith, and then Luneth and Noctis for Earth Veritas/WoL and Rikku/9S
And just get as many friend Fryevias as you can
Luneth really isn't doing anything in that comp aside from hitting moderately hard, but you don't need two finishers (Even one finisher is luxury more than necessity)
Noctis can "pseudotank", and that is fine for easier content but you're gonna want a for real tank
EV and WoL both handle tanking duties fine, there are some gimmicks to them that slightly differ like EV's taunt is 2 turns while WoL's is 1, WoL's party cover offers slightly more damage resistance, WoL has breaks while EV makes your party break immune, etc etc
Rikku is more defensive while 9S is more offensive
Rikku can heal and recover status effects, can give a party-wide reraise, and her party damage reduction comes with a big elemental resist as well
9S has the same party damage reduction, but the rest of his kit is imperils for every element except Light/Dark, 50% stat breaks, and status effect attacks
Rikku is more widely useful, but 9S is worth consideration if you go with EV
I wasnt really expecting the 9S or Rikku would be more useful than Refia or Tillith. I know Tillith is potentially better than Refia, I'm still working on gearing her up, and I'm not sure if i prefer the flexability of casting two different spells gives me from Refia. I was mostly planning to swap out Refia after Ramza got enhancements so I could cover buffing everyones atk/def, but that looks like it will take some time.
Why wouldnt I want luneth and Olive both as finishers if i had for instance, a Friend Freyvia + my Freyvia. I've been doing that in the raid elite fight quite a bit, and they both just destroy the boss on the second turn. (First turn is Lighting flask/ice Age, Shatter shot, Advance, whatever my friend unit can do), second turn is warp break, frost blitz, true shot, slay and friend units stuff and it just dies). Olive gets about 1 million damage in that situation, Luneth does about 1.4million with the two slay hits as the finishing hits.
EV...well I had been using cecil for a while but with all the DPS i had, I basically just decided to say screw it and removed him from the party to add Freyvia. Most stuff dies first or second turn, but I do need a tank for trial bosses, and hes so high above cecil on the rankings i figured it wouldnt hurt to level him.

The reason you wouldn't want both of them is opportunity cost
You don't have unlimited party spots, and while content that you're one shotting it's fine too just load up as much DPS as possible. Hell, under the circumstances you've described you might as well just take Refia out and replace her with more damage
For harder content you're going to want a proper tank, you're going to want a healer and Ramza doesn't cut it even after his enhancements, and the Rikku will allow you to play a lot less carefully between her LB and DR
Hell, if you did nothing except replace Noctis with a better breaker like WoL or 9S you'd probably see much higher damage

Onion Knight will release with the Game of Thrones finale, to mark the impending death of Ser Davos. (No spoilers, just seemed foreshadowed.)
Incidentally, part of the fun of the game as time goes on is that enhancements and unit upgrades/sidegrades result in some interesting team loadouts. I mean, honestly, I am probably happier I got Marie instead of either of the androids -- look at this shit when she gets enhancements on Thursday:
Love you all +2: AoE 5 Turn +50% All Elements Resist & AoE ~10000 HP Heal w/ 15x Mod split over 5 Turns
To save y'all the math, an un-potted, un-equipped Marie will heal the party for around 2400 each turn with that move. And it's 5 turns. Marie can then go sit around on her ass for the rest of the fight.
If you're feeling the heals, a Marie with Ashe can provide, easily, 5000 hp per turn for the party. With Rem, or Y'shtola, or Refia, or, well, anyone with a Curaja, you're set. More than set, since rarely are fights hitting where the bad guys are walloping you for 5k non-elemental damage every turn and you're just sitting there taking it. Of course even if you are, it's NBD with such skills.
Yes, she's still a 5 star base, and a rare one at that (since few people whaled for her), but with a unit like that, you can bring units that heal AND do other stuff, instead of just heal.
I'm planning on putting up Marie for the Malboro trial, once I enhance her. With stats like these, and the ability to aoe nullify ailments and so forth, I'm pretty excited for the trial:
I'm seriously considering leveling a Karl to get his AoE 60% Atk/Mag buff. If you intend to one-shot a boss and everything is geared toward dealing more damage, you open up a lot of support options because low stats aren't an issue. Karl has the best buff for my Fryevia chain + FV combo. Well, actually FV has the best buff, but I only have one of him and he's my best finisher.
[edit] Hmm... Currently, I'm using Agrias' Divine Ruination for its light imperil. FV then takes advantage of that with Excalibur. It would be great if there was a good ice weapon for him, opening a slot for another support/finisher.
But there isn't.
The best ice weapon is Lad Mirazh, which doesn't have a mastery. So that's 58 atk and 20% atk less than Excalibur. I can make up that damage with another finisher, but I don't have the gear to properly equip one.
Maybe a magical finisher. I wouldn't have to equip shitty ice element weapon.
Hmmm... I could also equip FV with Fryevia's needle and give Fryevia a lesser weapon (since her ability has innate ice element).
DKC would more that make up for the lost damage if I enhanced him, but I have no intention of doing so.
I wish there was a finisher ranking somewhere. The wiki only has the top 5.
Huh, now that I think about it, if I equip FV with Fixed Dice (once it's finished), how will I take advantage of imperils when one-shotting bosses? Will Fixed Dice make up for the damage loss?
I wish the unit calculator would update already. I don't want to math this out by hand.
Part of my frustration is that I have plenty of damage dealing characters, it's the support I'm lacking. I'd gladly take a Ramza or Marie over the 2B or Trance Terra I got. I like the JP rotating banner thing, but given it's newish to JP, it'll probably be another 8-12 months before we see it.

No Refia's? I've been swimming in them and shes really only a bit before Tillith. (with DC)
Okay, Garland and Cid both at 6 stars. My damage has grown significantly.
I just wish I had more status defense equipment. A paralysis or petrify on the wrong person can cause my team no end of issues.
EDIT: I did find an anti-petrify thing and put it on Rikku so she can Albhed Potion the team out of garden statue-ing attacks if necessary. That's a little relief there.

There's a quest fairly early on, as soon as you have access to Lanzelt Ruins, for an anti-petrify/paralyze accessory
Do the story campaign. You'll get all the necessary status null equipment and accessories just from chests and vault keys. Which is to say, for free. If you want full coverage, you need to TMR farm Kefka for Ribbon, Tilith for Goddess' Protection (which you may not have), and Seven for Discernment.
Until recently, I've just been using the free stuff, and I only upgraded to a single Ribbon for my healer to free up some slots for extra def/spr/hp. And frankly, I don't think it was a big upgrade. Tilith (my healer) didn't have difficulty surviving, not behind a tank, a break on the Boss' atk/mag stats, her def/spr buffed, and elemental resistances buffed.
That said, I haven't done all the trials yet.
What you need is a good healer/support that can heal status ailments, and then equip that unit with the right gear to prevent the disabling status ailments (sleep, paralyze, confuse, petrify). Or just equip your healer based on the boss you're fighting.
[edit] Right, you already have Rikku. Sorry, didn't read your post properly.

For reference, against ELT of the current event, WoL eats 100% of the damage 99% of the time. Occasionally the boss gets a shot through, but WoL leads with the Light is With Us and nobody else takes any damage.
Also, if you picked up Reactive Defense for WoL, it will proc like crazy after using The Light is With Us. That way you can forgo taking a unit that would be tasked with setting up damage mitigation.
I'm pretty comfortably OTKOing the raid with a friend Fryevia, but if I run out of Fry friends (mostly due to TMR farming and not setting my friend filters) I take an extra round or two trying to chain with non-dupes and WoL is a goddamn monster tank here.
Oh, also, if you are using Earth Veritas for your AoE cover also put Reactive Defense on him. His Eye for an Eye passive (2× counter chance) should proc the reactive defense with even more certainty.

I do have access to Lanzelt Ruins, but I may have missed the quest. With all the eventing going on I haven't been as diligent scouring the latest towns for quests.
What the fuck? I'm rank 12,758 on the raid. That doesn't seem right. I got in the 1,001-5,000 category last time, if I recall correctly. I should at least be between 5,000-10,000.

Yeah, I was in the 30ks in the last read, not even breaking 70 this time.
I do love it when my two Tidus' don't chain on this ELT boss. I also love it that Ashe gets killed whenever someone looks at her wrong.

Oh, also, if you are using Earth Veritas for your AoE cover also put Reactive Defense on him. His Eye for an Eye passive (2× counter chance) should proc the reactive defense with even more certainty.
I do have access to Lanzelt Ruins, but I may have missed the quest. With all the eventing going on I haven't been as diligent scouring the latest towns for quests.
The quest starts in Royal Capital Grandshelt
Bots are back in a big bad way. There is no way to tell what your rank really is, just keep going and I guess we will have to see what happens at the end of the event.
I'm so used to not sending friend requests that I keep absent mindedly clicking through after finding a good 2B that I don't have friended
Yeah, I was in the 30ks in the last read, not even breaking 70 this time.
He fist bumps his little bot friend at the end of battle.
Officially better than Rikku.
Yeah your Tidus and Mine. I hit them both then somewhere in the middle the chain breaks and its just 1111111111111111. If not for Aileens Piledriver i wouldnt get any chain damage after that starts
