Featured Agent Analysis

🔹 Nangong Yu – Ether / Stun (Support)

  • Role: Crowd-control support; boosts Anomaly DPS teams.
  • Team Fit: Replaces secondary Anomaly unit (Viven, Bernice, Sokaku) or, optionally, support.
  • Strengths:
    • SR engine greatly increases Anomaly Impact
    • Completes Angels of Delusion faction with Aria + Sunna
    • F2P-friendly; strong for Anomaly starter teams
  • Pull Advice:
    • Pull if running Anomaly-heavy or Miyabi teams
    • Supports Alice or Yanahi teams as well
  • Expert Tip: She’s support-first; do not expect her to carry fights alone.

🔹 Cissia – Electric / Attack (DPS / Support)

  • Role: Electric DPS; buffs Seed but can function independently
  • Strengths:
    • Buffs Crit Damage by ~25–30% for Seed
    • Performs well on Electric content; comparable to Orphie buffs
    • Flexible: can run as main DPS without Seed
  • Pull Advice: Pull if you want strong Electric DPS or for collection purposes
  • Expert Tip: Not meta-defining alone, but highly effective when paired with Electric teams

🔹 Seed –  Rerun Electric Attack / Utility

Seed is not a new S-Rank agent in 2.7, but is widely discussed as a rerun option for Electric Attack/Utility teams. Unlike Nangong Yu and Cissia, Seed is not officially part of the new character lineup for Version 2.7 — this keeps the patch at two new S-Rank agents only.

Key Notes:

  • Seed works best paired with Cissia for Electric team synergy.
  • She offers a strong double-attack buff and utility for mid-tier and F2P-friendly builds.
  • Pulling Seed is optional and depends on whether you already own Electric DPS units like Orphie or Trigger.

Tip: Clearly mark Seed as a rerun/speculative banner to avoid confusion. Only Nangong Yu and Cissia are officially confirmed new agents in 2.7.


Banner Value Analysis: Pull Now vs. Save for 3.0

Consideration Pull Now (2.7) Save for 3.0 (Speculation)
Meta Impact Immediate Angels of Delusion completion (Nangong Yu + Cissia) Potential S-Rank releases and meta shake-up
Account Value Strong Ether Stunner (Nangong Yu) + Electric DPS (Cissia) Possible high-power Season 3.0 agents
F2P Viability Very high (Nangong Yu; Cissia usable for Seed synergy; Seed rerun optional) High, depends on 3.0 gifts and free pulls
Banner Notes Phase 1: Nangong Yu + Lucia rerun; Phase 2: Cissia + Orphie/Magus reruns; Seed available as rerun 3.0 may introduce new S-Rank agents or major meta shifts

💡 3.0 is rumored to introduce major characters and meta shifts, but details are not confirmed.


Quick Pull Decision Guide

  • Phase 1 – Pull Nangong Yu if:
    • You run Anomaly-heavy teams or Miyabi units
    • You want immediate completion of Angels of Delusion faction
  • Phase 2 – Pull Cissia / Seed if:
    • You need Electric DPS or buffs
    • Seed synergy is important for your team
  • Save for 3.0 if:

Pro-Proxy Tips & Weapon Strategy
