Character Selection Analysis

 

 

Top Priority S-Rank Picks (Permanent Pool)

• Lycaon

Why? The most versatile permanent S-rank:

• Core member for Yanagi (meta "Yanagi-Wolf-Cangli" team).

• Essential for upcoming buffed Shark Girl and current banner Hugo.

Eidolon Priority:

• E1 and E2 significantly boost performance in Yanagi teams.

Verdict: First pick if missing him, especially for Yanagi mains.

 

• Rina

Why? Pure Electric Team cornerstone (works with Anby, Yuki, Youta, Anton).

Eidolon Breakpoint:

• E1 transforms her power level ("night-and-day difference").

Verdict: If you already own Lycaon, prioritize Lyra E1. If Lyra is E1, go for Lycaon eidolons.

 

• Koleda

Why? Niche pick:

• Only recommended as Lighter’s substitute in Evelyn/11 teams.

• Underperforms vs. Nicole (score gaps up to thousands in Endgame).

Eidolon Priority: 

• Avoid unless specific team demands.

Verdict: Low priority unless coping for missing Lighter.

Pro Tip: Test synergies via OSLink before committing! (Need team-specific advice? Share your roster.)

 

Not Recommended Characters

The following characters are not advised for selection due to performance issues, unless you prioritize personal preference (XP) or pairing (CP):

Soldier 11: Mediocre strength, significantly weaker than limited characters

Nekomiya Mana: Underperforms in the current version

Grace: User experience falls far behind limited characters

 

W-Engine Selection Guide

W-Engine choices should align with your current team composition and long-term strategy. Below are the three highest-priority W-Engines:

•  The Brimstone

Applicable Roles: Nearly all Assault-type characters.

Key Features:

• Top-tier substitute for Assault characters lacking signature W-Engines.

Ideal as a transitional option for main DPS units.

• Recommended Scenario: When your primary damage dealer lacks a dedicated weapon.

 

• Hellfire Gears

 

Applicable Roles: Break specialists (e.g., Wolf’s quick-swap playstyle).

Key Features:

• Best alternative if Wolf’s signature W-Engine isn’t suited for quick-swap.

• Strong substitute for Lycaon’s signature weapon.

Recommended Scenario: Essential for Wolf quick-swap teams or Break-focused setups missing signature weapons.

 

• Weeping Cradle

Applicable Roles: Support characters (especially Lena).

Key Features:

• Boosts Lena’s Penetration Rate to 70%, significantly enhancing her buffing utility.

• Universally viable for all support roles.

Recommended Scenario: Default pick when support units lack signature W-Engines.

Note: Prioritize based on your team’s immediate needs and future pulls (e.g., saving for signature weapons). Adjust for meta shifts in future updates.

 

Comprehensive Selection Guide

Character Priority:

• No Wolf (Lycaon)? → Priority: Pull Wolf

• Have Wolf but no Lena? → Priority: Pull Lena

• Both owned? → Lena’s 1st Constellation > Wolf’s Constellations

• Special Case: If running Evelyn/No.11 teams and missing Lycaon, consider Corin instead.

W-Engine Priority:

• Main Assault DPS lacks weapon? → Sulfurstone

• Main Break DPS lacks weapon? → Blazing Gear

• Main Support lacks weapon? → Cradle of Weeping

• All three are equally versatile; pick the one your team needs most urgently.

For XP/CP Enjoyers:

Choose freely! Fun matters more than meta. (Happy gaming!)

Note: Adjust based on future updates or personal playstyle preferences.
