There were also some collabs with other games like Girls Book Maker and Arslan Senki that had time-limited exclusives, but these are unlikely to come back (bar Koihime, which had a "possible revival" notice).Ī lot of units and classes are powercreeped nowadays, some old blacks get buffed all the time but still can't match their modern counterparts. Imperial is mostly lackluster with a few standouts (Patricia is the new star of Tower runs despite being a plat because her kit is stupidly good for it), ancient heroes only appeared once so far but are expressly designed to be broken, seasonal units (think swimsuits, Valentine's etc., there's a Christmas banned up now) are cute but not especially useful. There are three banner types that have characters that can't be obtained elsewhere. You get a pity timer as a saving grace, one guaranteed plat/black if you do 10/33 rolls without them. They're also very unreliable, don't expect to get the banner black very often. AW2 in particular has helped golds a lot because it allows them to reach level 99 and soak up a lot of extra stats, so they're not nearly as weak as they used to be.īase black rate is fixed at 3%, banners are for specific girls once you do roll a plat/black. I'm probably forgetting a few noteworthy golds but I've also maxed out a few of my gold waifus (Lychee/Raichi, Marie) and they perform pretty admirably. (The Christmas Solano in the gacha has the same thing, but prior to literally just a few days ago Rino was the only summoner with permanent summon.)

Mages are kind of dated in the current game, but SAW Mehlis has insane attack speed for hurling fireballs and I imagine she'll make a half-decent comeback if devs can ever figure out what to do with mage AW2 and release it.

Claire is a solid budget archer due to having easy access to either a high damage multiplier or multi-target attacks. Margaret is a budget version of Rion, who specializes in arrow spam for big damage. Bernice is a really solid tank by all metrics. That said, as the other anon mentioned there are some really good gold units or golds that really benefit from being AW/SAW. They updated it some time ago and now it drops a maximum 27 crystals per run. You can do 3+ (depending on how you hold your stamina) runs of the demon crystal daily on the hardest difficulty per day and it runs twice a week. You can pick up a good bit from the labyrinth event when that comes back around, but really one a month sounds pretty low.
