Pull Value Analysis
Phase 1: Hiyuki Banner (High Priority)
Hiyuki is a strong Glacio main DPS with good burst damage and ice crystal mechanics. She works well even at S0. She is a great choice if you need a new main DPS or want a future-proof unit.
Pull Value: S-tier for most players, especially new and mid-game accounts.
Phase 1 Reruns
Mornye: Good Fusion support and healer. Worth pulling if you build Fusion teams.
Iuno: Feels dated. Most players can skip her.
Phase 2: Denia Banner
Denia is a Fusion sub-DPS and team enabler. She shines in Fusion teams with Aemeath.
Pull Value: A-tier for Fusion players, B-tier for others.
Phase 2 Reruns
Chisa: Strong Havoc support. Good to pull if you missed her.
Phrolova: Solid Havoc DPS but has competition from newer units.
Pull Strategy and Tips
- F2P and Low-Spender: Prioritize Hiyuki in Phase 1.
- Dolphin or Whale: Get Hiyuki S0R1, then decide on Denia for Fusion teams.
- Use anniversary login events and rewards to collect more Astrites.
- Focus on what your account needs for Tower of Adversity clears.
- Track your pity carefully as guarantees carry over.
