I'm still playing this game, Story 33 The Depths of the Shrine, but detoured to grind the southeast corner of the Spirit World to Lv. 213 and then grind the Arena. I may edit this post in the future when I'm done with more information. I've finished since initially posting this as of September 14, 2014, you can check the reply below for composite spirits and post-game info.
In Spirit Valor, there are 84 spirits to equip to your party members with different skill access and utility each. 20 of them are composite spirits and have 2 of the 6 elements from Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, and Dark, but I don't have access to any yet (you can spend currency on the gacha to roll for them). Due to evolutions that are level-based and either 2 to 3 stages, it ultimately boils down to 27 spirits + 8 12 composites. Evolutions add prefixes to the name, but they're still the same one.
I will first list the [Element] of the spirit, followed by the Contract/Cap Level, and then what levels they unlock skills. After that will be a skill list you can Ctrl+F. Finally, I'll share my thoughts on which I think are good and my thoughts on the game so far.

From the Fire spirits, Genuine Spirit Love is nice because Lv. 145 Flare Arrow is a 10-hit attack skill. Alice gets an Arena weapon that increases her hit count by 1.
From the Water spirits, Frost Spirit Ice is good because Lv. 175 Nerf deals damage while buffing up your INT and DEF (no MDF stat, so INT is both magic damage dealt and received). Heavy Spirit Snow is nice because Lv. 135 Spirit Wisdom is an all-target INT buff accessed much earlier. Current Spirit River has some decent utility.
From the Earth spirits, Tree Spirit Yggdrasil is the best one because Lv. 155 Protect Care heals all allies and applies the 50% Damage Cut status.
From the Wind spirits, Green Spirit Leaves is OP because Lv. 160 Air Burst lets you act again while dealing damage. Smoke Spirit Murky is also good because Lv. 175 Catastrophe is an enemy all-target attack, but there is a better one since Wind is resisted by Fire. Speed Spirit Fast is also nice for Lv. 130 Tailwind's all-target SPD buff.
From the Light spirits, Solid Spirit White has Lv. 170 Lumiere to apply INT down and -25% resistance to all elements.
From the Dark spirits, Disaster Spirit Chaos is OP because Lv. 140 Phantom is the strongest single-target spell due to it scaling off the total number of enemies defeated (I'm currently at 1007 with 952 slain, and one of the panel challenges is 1200 slain). It also gets Lv. 120 Abyss Aurora to apply -20% Darkness in a 3x2 AoE, to set itself up. Black Spirit Hole is also good because Lv. 165 Lullaby is an enemy all-target spell but Darkness isn't resisted by any element.
The other non-composite spirits feel mediocre, but I was forced to invest in them to determine that fact. As a result, I lost fusions/merges on the good spirits, but with this list, you don't have to. You can only equip 4 spirits at a time from 10 total per character, so trying to contract new spirits will require you to say goodbye to some to make room for others.
Spirit Valor is the cheapest Exe-Create game I've seen with its IAP. There's no generous mission system like Astarune Academy/Alter Age or even 3 daily quests like Isekai Rondo/Knights of Grayfang/Sword of Elpisia, so all you have is the roulette which resets at midnight Japan and 1 Spirit Orb every 3 battles (thankfully there's attraction tubes). So I bought $19.99 worth of Spirit Orbs for Mana Recovery Secret Stone (200, post-battle full MP), Magic Damage +20% (350x5), EXP Up (500x1) and Status Boosting (450, every 10 battles when you normally get one every 20). Storehouse keys probably won't be worth it, more weapon/armor slots is useless when there's not even equipment levels/effects to synthesize for more ATK/DEF it was actually more spellstone slots (base 50 cap and +10 each, but since they're still consumable items, not worth it), bonus arena coins/discount you can just grind for more (and no stat boosters to exchange for unlike Astarune Academy), gold/drop/rare drop you can just grind more, and Physical Damage +20% is restrictive to use.
In the auto battle settings, there's only Normal Attack (no ally follow-ups in this game), Attack Magic, Support Magic, and Items. That's why you want the Mana Recovery Secret Stone (MP recovery items are flat healing, unlike Astarune/Alter Age's % based healing) and to focus on magic damage, because they neutered physical in this game. To use physical skills, you have to capture weakened/low-level enemies with Spellstones (Low/Mid/High for stronger effects, but I don't even have High versions right now), and you'll get 3 uses of it before it breaks. The party members do get physical Valor/Awaken skills they can use with the EG gauge, but there's no EG recovery items and you only get 5 per turn. Those skills typically cost 20 ~ 100 EG (max you can stockpile), so you'll barely get to use them. At the very least, if you spellstone Metal/Gold enemies, then you can apply 2x EXP & gold for 3 battles. There's also panel challenges to use 400 spirit magic and 30 Valor/Awaken skills. I ran into 2 story bosses who start the fight with an AoE that inflicts a 2 stage ATK debuff. One of the Arena fights does set up magic reflect, but you can come back later to burst them down beforehand.
If a spellstone breaks, there's a chance of it contracting a certain spirit. Otherwise, you can randomly summon spirits with a % success chance and a hefty %-based MP cost until you can afford it normally. The EXP Up modifier & Mana Recovery Secret Stone is helpful here so you can use Summoning L (50% success and 90% MP) to contract higher level spirits up to (Current Level + 10) for stronger skills.
Dumping statboosters on the Exe-Create protagonist hasn't failed me yet so far (although to be fair, I did invest in Astarune's Mimosa before Spica), but in Spirit Valor, I'm starting to regret it.* Warrior Richard himself is a spirit occupying a human body, so he can't contract with other spirits, but does get access to magic of every element but Darkness. If he "contracts" with the composite spirits, he learns a dual-element spell to cover more weaknesses for +25% damage and +20% critical. So far at Lv. 213, his best damage spells are Flare Arrow and Catastrophe, but it's all underwhelming with his 2nd best INT, 3rd best SPD, and 2nd best LUK (critical rate and item drop rate). Because the other 3 characters can contract for Air Burst/Phantom, they can fuse/merge to +99. There's also another +99 Upgrade Value that increases by +5 for stage 2 evolutions, +10 for stage 3 evolutions, and +1 for every 10 Mana Fragments spent; each is equal to +2 skill power that Richard will never get. Therefore, it's more viable to spend stat boosters on Vivian (1st best INT, 2nd best SPD, worst LUK) or Alice (worst INT tied with Finn, 1st best SPD, 1st best LUK).
There's no fast movement option, so walking will be slow. At best, the game's tutorial only elaborates on the Secret Arena and Billionaire Ambitions (3 million damage test), so in terms of content, it's probably just as sparse as Knights of Grayfang (which was not Ryuji Takumi produced, but instead by the character artist). There probably isn't a crossover dungeon you buy a key for, or a superboss you can fight on all 4 difficulties for rewards/gacha currency.
*Like nearly 2 months later on November 4th, 2024, I didn't find the time to edit this tidbit in earlier but still felt it was worth noting. At Lv. 999, despite Richard and Vivian both having like 5,000 INT via stat boosters and not many merges on Vivian, I think Richard was dealing significantly more damage. I can't verify again since I've uninstalled the app to make space (unaware you'd lose save data and in-app purchases, oops), but while Vivian has a better initial stat spread and can act twice with Air Burst, I imagine the Spirit Lv. cap of 200 and requisite merges actually hinders her damage output whereas Richard is a self-reliant Spirit himself whose cap is Lv. 999. At stat cap, he did 3HKO the superboss before they even acted once so I guess it ultimately doesn't matter, but it's so expensive to stat cap a character I think I only managed Richard & Vivian with a little bit of grinding the highest post-game gold zone.
From Lv. 450 arena, it takes 326 Ability Chunks (2 random stats +50, Luck has a cap of 999) to stat cap a character. You get 3 at a time, so 109 wins x 210,000 gold = 22,890,000 gold, or 22.9 million; 91.6 million gold for all 4 characters.
From Lv. 750 arena, it takes 142 Life Magic Chunks (HP +360, MP +60) to max out HP and 100 for MP, You get 5 at a time, so 29 wins x 417,000 gold = 12,093,000 gold, or 12.1 million; 48.4 million gold for all characters. This isn't worth the grind.
Ultimately you do need to recruit every Spirit for damage scaling on a later spell Goetia, but since there's only like 8 good spirits you probably want on the other 3, you can use the spare 2 slots to rotate out new summons.

I beat the game (Story 46) and then looked into (Crix) (De) (Uno)'s YouTube videos for what to expect about about post-game. Instead of editing my previous post, I thought replying with a new one was better as a warning: you may want to get as much done possible before the final boss.
Dickens City (Surface, NW) = Ardovar (Finn, ATK 120, Power when using Spirit Magic up by 15%.), Miracle Blessed Water, Elixir Powder, Ability Chunk (Random 2 from 1 ally's STR, VIT, INT, SPD & LUK up by 50 each.)
Carrel Village (Surface, NE) = Clau Solas (Alice, ATK 120, Power when using Spirit Magic up by 15%.), Life Magic Chunk (1 ally's Max. HP up by 360, Max. MP up by 60.), Drop of Sunlight, Elixir Powder
Chaverick Town (Spirit, NW) = Ability Chunk, Astra Scythe (Vivian, 120 ATK, Power when using Spirit Magic up by 15%.) Miracle Blessed Water, Get Bell
Hugo Village (Spirit, N) = Laevatein (Richard, ATK 120, Power when magic used up by 15%.), Drop of Sunlight, Life Magic Chunk, Elixir Powder
Morroa Hidden Village (Spirit, NW) = Omnipotent Ring (Accessory, Nullifies all Abnormal States. Spirit Magic MP consumption down by 25%. Multiple equip NG.), Moonlight Crystal, Life Magic Chunk, Elixir Powder
Hoffman Town (Surface, NW) = Get Bell, Glorified Medicine, Ability Chunk, Wonderful Scarf (Armor, DEF 110, VIT up by 7%. When worn, easier to gain EG. [10 EG per turn. When granted an additional turn by Air Burst, you also gain EG, so 5x2 becomes 10x2.])
Bonzerous Town (Surface, NW) = Get Bell, Glorified Medicine, Ability Chunk, Treatment Circlet (Accessory, When defending during battle, user's HP restored by 5%. Up more when multiple equipped.)
Kiblin Village (Spirit, NW) = Moonlight Crystal, Elixir Powder, Mana Recovery Circlet (Accessory, When defending during battle, user's MP restored by 5% up,. Up more when multipled equipped.), Life Magic Chunk
Richard's spell list at Lv. 366 or Lv. 999 didn't change from Lv. 213,
Fire: Burn, Flame, Flare Sonic, Meteor, Vivace, Flare Arrow
Water: Bubble, Mirror Coat, Poisson, Watersphere, Icicle, Blue Wave
Earth: Sand Shot, Fall Stone, Stone Shower, Lithosphere, Storm Rider, Meteorite
Wind: Wind Cutter, Aero Pistol, Tifone, Vent, Cyclosphere, Catastrophe
Light: Care, Purge, Fairy Cure, Cure, Glorified Cross, Invocation, Amaterasu
but his saving grace is being able to learn basically every composite spell, for greater buff utility and Darkness coverage. His arena weapon is +20% critical rate and he can equip accessories for +30% critical rate and +15% critical damage (effectively +70% critical rate if he exploits weakness for +40% damage), but he still lacks Air Burst + Phantom.
There's actually 12 composite spirits, and you can only find them and their 8 evolutions from specific enemy spellstones (so they're not exclusive to the gacha).
Seaton Forest, Stone Golem = Spirit Irrupt (Richard's Flare Rock)
Around Hugo Village, Fire Skink = Spirit Boiler (Richard's Hot Sand Beat)
Around Hugo Village, Black Skeleton = Spirit Evil (Richard's Blue Rose)
Around Morroa Village, Steel Golem = Spirit Marshy (Richard's Low Flow)
Mystery Cave, Dark Spirit = Spirit Void (Richard's Goetia)
Mystery Cave, Whirlgale = Spirit Glitter (Richard's Luminous)
Around Mystery Cave, Fisheye = Spirit Blizzard (Richard's Snow White)
Bonzerous Town, Shell Gorger = Anger Spirit Irrupt (Richard's Flare Sole)
Around Marlow Desert Shrine, Torrent = Spirit Heart (Richard's Sanatio)
Marlow Desert Shrine, Ziz = Warm Spirit Boiler (Richard's Glory Blaze)
Around Faber Tower, Larimar Carbuncle = Frozen Spirit Blizzard (Richard's Crystal Rain)
Faber Tower, Clay Spirit = Mud Spirit Marshy (Richard's Avalanche)
Faber Tower, Cerberus = Spirit Lava (Richard's Berserker)
Faber Tower, Chimera = Bright Spirit Glitter (Richard's Shiny Ray)
Around Speeley Cave, Burning Spirit = Spirit Sun (Richard's War Anthem)
Around Speeley Cave, Iron Golem = Empty Spirit Void (Richard's Vanitas)
Speeley Cave, Madness Grave = Inferno Evil Spirit (Richard's Sacrifice)
Speeley Cave, Medusa = Moral Spirit Heart (Richard's Auguri)
[Post-Game] Mount Mettering (Entrance), Yeti Emperor = Spirit Adamas (Richard's Tree of Life)
[Post-Game] Mount Mettering (Middle Part), Shell Breaker = Spirit Cold (Richard's Spirit Guardian)
Before post-game though, you can't find 2 composite spirits and learn their associated spells (Spirit Adamas, Spirit Cold). Even in post-game, Richard can't learn the 2nd spell from the 4 composite spirits that lack an evolution (Prometheus, Explosion, Mega Quake unfortunately, and Tempest).

Before I started recruiting the composite spirits, I thought my best team would be:
Alice + Green Spirit Leaves (Air Burst), Disaster Spirit Chaos (Phantom), Solid Spirit White, Tree Spirit Yggdrasil. Since she's faster than Vivian and Finn, she can cast White's Lumiere twice before Vivian nukes. Yggdrasil's Protect Care was healing & Damage Cut insurance I ultimately never needed.
Vivian + Green Spirit Leaves, Disaster Spirit Chaos, Heavy Spirit Snow (Spirit Wisdom), Frost Spirit Ice. Ice's Nerf is nice for an attack that buffs ally INT & DEF for damage mitigation.
Finn + Green Spirit Leaves, Disaster Spirit Chaos, Heavy Spirit Snow, Speed Spirit Fast. Fast's Tailwind was SPD insurance I ultimately never needed either. Both Vivian and Finn have Snow's Spirit Wisdom to apply INT up before Alice's 2nd Lumiere.
Inferno Spirit Evil and Empty Spirit Void also have Phantom (Void's Goetia is another strong attack), Moral Spirit Heart also has Lumiere, and Bright Spirit Glitter's Luminous is a Tailwind that does damage. Getting merges on them will probably be more difficult though, as they're exclusive to enemy spellstones and never show up randomly via summoning, but you do have more options.
With post-game's inclusion of Spirit Adamas for an ally omnibuff, it replaces the need for Vivian's Frost Spirit Ice & Finn's Speed Spirit Fast/Bright Spirit Glitter. I still need to grind Ability Chunks to beat Mount Mettering's superboss (acts twice, no flinch items), but they are Darkness element, so giving Vivian/Finn a 5th Solid Spirit White for Etoile's strongest Light damage can be an option.
For Billionaire Ambitions, Alice's Solid Spirit White's Lumiere (-25% elemental resistance, INT down) > Vivian's Heavy Snow Spirit's Spirit Wisdom (INT up) > Finn's Heavy Snow Spirit's Spirit Wisdom (INT up) > Alice's Lumiere > Vivian's Phantom is probably how you want to tackle it. Those de/buffs don't deal damage, and the most you can do is stat cap and merge to +99 the Phantom spirit for damage.
If you wanted to farm merges on the non-composite spirits, some final evolutions are accessed in post-game and accessories to expedite & guarantee the spellstone breaking process are huge QoL.
Green Spirit Leaves = Overlord Castle, Whirlster / Berne Sea Cave, Garuda
Disaster Spirit Chaos = Speeley Cave, Spinel Carbuncle & Violet Darkness Spirit
Solid Spirit White = Strong Demon Zone Lv. 550, Master Armordillo
Heavy Spirit Snow = Mount Mettering (Middle Part), Pentakill
Tree Spirit Yggdrasil = Wavestar Tower, Kidlin Goblin
Frost Spirit Ice = Berne Sea Cave, Giant Jellyfish / Around Wavestar Tower, Ent & Yeti King / Mount Mettering (Deepest Part), Anon / Strong Demon Zone Lv. 550, Yeti Lord & Eboshi Jellyfish
Speed Spirit Fast = Around Overlord Castle, Jade Carbuncle / Overlord Castle, Bat King / Mount Mettering, Cypress
Finally, here's some miscellaneous info I didn't include the first time around.
Spirit Valor is directed by Aki Yasumura (the same director and Characters design behind Knights of Grayfang), but Characters here are done by Serina Nakamoto.
When you spellstone a Metal/Gold enemy, Lucky Magic applies for the entire 3-part attraction battle.
Spirits still gain EXP in the Arena fights.
This game has a "missions" system, sharing the UI like Astarune Academy/Alter Age's, but is restricted to 9 challenges x 4 difficulties; it's functionally the same as panel challenges. You get 25 Spirit Orbs for Beginner, 50 for Intermediate, +1 Premium Ticket for Advanced, and +2 for Expert, then +1 Premium Ticket for clearing each of the 4 difficulties of the Arena. Use the 7 tickets before beating the game, all you can really roll for is accessories.
One of the Expert challenges is to "Evolve spirits 5 times to third stage." Initially I thought they were insane and it required you to level grind a 1st stage all the way to 3rd, but nah, you can evolve from a 2nd stage just fine for it to count.
In the Arena, you can exchange for an armor piece that gives you +20% spirit EXP, but it still takes too long to level grind stage 1 to stage 3 for +15 Upgrade Value and +1 fusion. Spending 150 Mana Fragments for an equivalent bonus is much easier to grind and if you wanted merges, just find the highest evolution.
You can reload the result of spellstones breaking at 1/3 uses to guarantee summoning a spirit/learning a Richard composite spell from the rarer giant monsters, but you may lose out on the stat boosters every 10/20 battles won if you reload. In post-game, there's accessories to make breaking spellstones faster and guaranteed if trying to learn spells or merge.
So if you wanted the storehouse bonuses before the final boss, the weapons are actually good once you've stat capped for +15% magic power. The armor piece for doubled EG gain can work on Richard/Finn who have attacks that debuffs all of the enemy's elemental resistance in an AoE compared to Lumiere's single-target.
Dickens City (Surface, NW) = Ardovar (Finn, ATK 120, Power when using Spirit Magic up by 15%.), Miracle Blessed Water, Elixir Powder, Ability Chunk (Random 2 from 1 ally's STR, VIT, INT, SPD & LUK up by 50 each.)

Bonzerous Town (Surface, NW) = Get Bell, Glorified Medicine, Ability Chunk, Treatment Circlet (Accessory, When defending during battle, user's HP restored by 5%. Up more when multiple equipped.)
Kiblin Village (Spirit, NW) = Moonlight Crystal, Elixir Powder, Mana Recovery Circlet (Accessory, When defending during battle, user's MP restored by 5% up,. Up more when multipled equipped.), Life Magic Chunk
Richard's spell list at Lv. 366 or Lv. 999 didn't change from Lv. 213,

His arena weapon is +20% critical rate and he can equip accessories for +30% critical rate and +15% critical damage (effectively +70% critical rate if he exploits weakness for +40% damage), but he still lacks Air Burst + Phantom.

[Fire/Wind] All allies can act again. Can only be used once per battle, and after use, acting again cannot be activated consecutively. [Doesn't immediately accelerate everyone's turn to the left. It's probably best used by Richard so the other 3 characters can double cast Phantom/Goetia.]

Before I started recruiting the composite spirits, I thought my best team would be:
Alice + Green Spirit Leaves (Air Burst), Disaster Spirit Chaos (Phantom), Solid Spirit White, Tree Spirit Yggdrasil. Since she's faster than Vivian and Finn, she can cast White's Lumiere twice before Vivian nukes. Yggdrasil's Protect Care was healing & Damage Cut insurance I ultimately never needed.
Vivian + Green Spirit Leaves, Disaster Spirit Chaos, Heavy Spirit Snow (Spirit Wisdom), Frost Spirit Ice. Ice's Nerf is nice for an attack that buffs ally INT & DEF for damage mitigation.
Finn + Green Spirit Leaves, Disaster Spirit Chaos, Heavy Spirit Snow, Speed Spirit Fast. Fast's Tailwind was SPD insurance I ultimately never needed either. Both Vivian and Finn have Snow's Spirit Wisdom to apply INT up before Alice's 2nd Lumiere.
Inferno Spirit Evil and Empty Spirit Void also have Phantom (Void's Goetia is another strong attack), Moral Spirit Heart also has Lumiere, and Bright Spirit Glitter's Luminous is a Tailwind that does damage. Getting merges on them will probably be more difficult though, as they're exclusive to enemy spellstones and never show up randomly via summoning, but you do have more options.
With post-game's inclusion of Spirit Adamas for an ally omnibuff, it replaces the need for Vivian's Frost Spirit Ice & Finn's Speed Spirit Fast/Bright Spirit Glitter. I still need to grind Ability Chunks to beat Mount Mettering's superboss (acts twice, no flinch items), but they are Darkness element, so giving Vivian/Finn a 5th Solid Spirit White for Etoile's strongest Light damage can be an option.
For Billionaire Ambitions, Alice's Solid Spirit White's Lumiere (-25% elemental resistance, INT down) > Vivian's Heavy Snow Spirit's Spirit Wisdom (INT up) > Finn's Heavy Snow Spirit's Spirit Wisdom (INT up) > Alice's Lumiere > Vivian's Phantom is probably how you want to tackle it. Those de/buffs don't deal damage, and the most you can do is stat cap and merge to +99 the Phantom spirit for damage.
If you wanted to farm merges on the non-composite spirits, some final evolutions are accessed in post-game and accessories to expedite & guarantee the spellstone breaking process are huge QoL.
Green Spirit Leaves = Overlord Castle, Whirlster / Berne Sea Cave, Garuda
Disaster Spirit Chaos = Speeley Cave, Spinel Carbuncle & Violet Darkness Spirit
Solid Spirit White = Strong Demon Zone Lv. 550, Master Armordillo
Heavy Spirit Snow = Mount Mettering (Middle Part), Pentakill
Tree Spirit Yggdrasil = Wavestar Tower, Kidlin Goblin
Frost Spirit Ice = Berne Sea Cave, Giant Jellyfish / Around Wavestar Tower, Ent & Yeti King / Mount Mettering (Deepest Part), Anon / Strong Demon Zone Lv. 550, Yeti Lord & Eboshi Jellyfish
Speed Spirit Fast = Around Overlord Castle, Jade Carbuncle / Overlord Castle, Bat King / Mount Mettering, Cypress
Finally, here's some miscellaneous info I didn't include the first time around.
Spirit Valor is directed by Aki Yasumura (the same director and Characters design behind Knights of Grayfang), but Characters here are done by Serina Nakamoto.
When you spellstone a Metal/Gold enemy, Lucky Magic applies for the entire 3-part attraction battle.
Spirits still gain EXP in the Arena fights.
This game has a "missions" system, sharing the UI like Astarune Academy/Alter Age's, but is restricted to 9 challenges x 4 difficulties; it's functionally the same as panel challenges. You get 25 Spirit Orbs for Beginner, 50 for Intermediate, +1 Premium Ticket for Advanced, and +2 for Expert, then +1 Premium Ticket for clearing each of the 4 difficulties of the Arena. Use the 7 tickets before beating the game, all you can really roll for is accessories.
One of the Expert challenges is to "Evolve spirits 5 times to third stage." Initially I thought they were insane and it required you to level grind a 1st stage all the way to 3rd, but nah, you can evolve from a 2nd stage just fine for it to count.
In the Arena, you can exchange for an armor piece that gives you +20% spirit EXP, but it still takes too long to level grind stage 1 to stage 3 for +15 Upgrade Value and +1 fusion. Spending 150 Mana Fragments for an equivalent bonus is much easier to grind and if you wanted merges, just find the highest evolution.
You can reload the result of spellstones breaking at 1/3 uses to guarantee summoning a spirit/learning a Richard composite spell from the rarer giant monsters, but you may lose out on the stat boosters every 10/20 battles won if you reload. In post-game, there's accessories to make breaking spellstones faster and guaranteed if trying to learn spells or merge.
