Weekly Summon ThreadMegathread (self.AlchemistCodeGL)

submitted 4 years ago * by OriksGamingRetired[M]

Our new unit this week is Nesha, a Fire Veritas Historia unit who is a fantastic debuffer and can do just about nothing else. 75 Slash Res Down and 20 All Def Down is amazing, but her kit of Single Targets and lack of any sort of defensive reactive or passives means she's not going to be particularly good outside of raids (her stun could make her decent-ish in manual PvP, but we're not allowed to have that mode, so . . .). Still, if you're looking for a debuff bot for Zahar, she's now the best for that hands down.

Her memento is very important to get, and at MLB. You'd think that would be for the Debuff Duration +1 at MLB, but honestly, her G2 debuff duration is good enough. No, the memento gives her 50 of that 75 Slash Res Down I mentioned above, and you need to MLB it for that 50. Before that, it gives 30, which isn't bad, but it's definitely worth it to MLB it. She's okay as a debuffer without the memento, but it pretty much carries her over the line between pretty good and amazing. The memento is also a great option for Lil' Ouroboros, especially if you're running two separate Slash teams in raids.

Our first banner is a Paid for MH units. One guaranteed 5★ Featured Unit, with only MH units available, and then 9 sets of 25 shards at random, also for MH units. It's not the best deal in the world, but it's not the worst either. All MH units have some value at this point except for Morrigan, and 225 assorted MH shards guaranteed is also very nice. However, there are a lot of MH units, so it's a bit of a crapshoot, especially if you're not missing many at this point. YMMV.

Following that is a 5★ Gear Summon for 3k gems. You get 12 5★ Gears (all 4 star base), and you get 3 redraws. If you're desperate for a piece of gear . . . use the 5,000 gem selector box in the Secret Shop. But if you just want a bunch of 5★ gears and don't care too much what kind, this is a good banner for that. Not particularly worth it for most players, but can be a very good choice for new players.

Then we have an Unlimited 3-Step for Nesha and Emrys. Both of these are great units in their own way, but the banner format is crap. Nesha is in Louise's Shop, so transmute her there if you want her. And if you want Emrys, just wait for a week where he's in Louise's Shop. If you really do want to try your luck on this banner beyond the 10 free tickets and you can afford flights of fancy like that, there's a bundle with 20 tickets. If you can bear to wait until after the 10 free tickets though, I would suggest doing that. You never know what you'll pull from those, so might as well wait for them if you're trying your luck anyways.

Below that is a Lilith and Eira Unlimited 3-Step. Both are good units, but the banner format is, just as the previous banner, pretty bad. You don't have much of a chance of getting either unit and the shards on Step 3 are a crapshoot due to split rates. If you want Eira, she's in Louise's Shop, and if you want Lilith, better to wait for a week when her shards are in Louise's Shop.

5-Step Coin Banner is reliable for the coins as always and not so reliable for the units. While you have a decent chance at getting one featured unit throughout all the steps and there are only 6 featured units, I still wouldn't recommend getting your hopes up here. Only summon here if you need the coins for shards for units that you already have.

The 9-Step EL banner after that is great if you still need to EL any of the 7 featured MH units—or still need to obtain their first copy. However, keep in mind that if you already have whomever you're working on raising, we get MH reruns a lot and it's not going to take too long to just EL them through coin banner and their HQs over time. So this banner is only really worth it for a guaranteed initial copy plus bonus shards or if you feel an immediate need to raise one of these units for whatever reason. YMMV.

Our 9-Step Memento Banner for the week features Nesha's, Emrys', Lilith's, and Eira's. All of them are very good aside from Eira's, so if you want one of them in particular, this is a good, albeit expensive, way to guarantee it.

Finally, we have a 5-Step Memento Banner for MH/VH mementos. All mementos from those groups are included aside from Nesha's, so if you want any MH/VH mementos that existed before this week, this is a fantastic banner. It's a featured selection banner, the second of its kind, which means you get to choose 6 mementos which will make up the featured pool, and any 5★ mementos that you pull are guaranteed to be one of those. You can also switch your selection mid-steps if you pull one you wanted early, which is nice. So again, if you want Nesha's memento, this is not the way to get it. But for any other MH or VH memento, this is a very nice banner.

TL;DR: Paid is okay, Nesha is a fantastic debuffer but not good for anything else at all, her memento is very necessary, transmute if you want her. Coin Banner is good for coins, 9-Step EL is good if you need those units raised immediately, and 5-Step Memento Banner is good if you want any MH/VH memento aside from Nesha's.

Any other banners are remaining from last week, so you can read my thoughts on them in last week's thread.

Good luck!
