🎯 Banner Pull Strategy – Verified Expert Insights

Cissia:

  • Pull if you want top-tier Electric DPS or Seed synergy.
  • Works as main DPS or support for Electric teams.
  • A strong A-rank engine (Drill Rig) makes her efficient even in neutral content.
  • Functions primarily as team enabler, giving ~30% crit damage to Seed vs Orphie’s attack buff.

Seed:

  • Pull if you already love Electric team gameplay or want a versatile dual-attack agent.
  • Very F2P-friendly; works well with almost any secondary attacker.
  • Buffs don’t replace dedicated supports; future potential unlocks may improve her slots and buffs.

Nangong Yu:

  • Pull if you are focused on building Anomaly/Miyabi teams.
  • Support-first; not main DPS.
  • Strong SR engine enhances performance, but team-limited.
  • Best in focused Anomaly/Ether comps, optional otherwise.

Key Expert Advice:

“If you enjoy Seed + Cissia synergy, pull Cissia first as main DPS. Seed buffs her and scales Electric damage. Nangong is amazing for anomaly builds but optional if you’re not in that comp.”
