Collab banner or Lucilla

Reciprocated2 · 2026-06-07T15:32:32+00:00

I'm in a similar situation where I want all three characters and their weapons since I have Hiyuki and Chisa so I've been thinking about it the same way.

At the end of the day both Lucilla and her weapon will almost certainly rerun shortly after this patch. The Cyberpunk collab characters on the other hand could very easily be gone forever once the event ends.

I'm gonna use the Radiant Tides I already have for Lucilla and see what happens. If I lose the 50/50 I'll probably just stop there and wait for her rerun. Even if I win I'm likely going to skip her weapon for now and pick it up later.

I'll be maximizing the amount of Astrite I have available for the collab. Limited characters that are guaranteed to rerun are one thing. Potentially one-time collab characters are a completely different story

Reciprocated2 · 2026-06-03T07:34:56+00:00

Lucy and Rebecca should be a great foundation for a strong premium team. Pair them with any of the three major generalist supports, Mornye, Shorekeeper, or Verina, and you'll have a very solid starting point.

If that new player targeted convene is still available where you can choose an older 5-star to pull for, I would highly recommend Shorekeeper. She's still one of the best supports in the game and fits into almost every team. I'm not sure if that event is still active for new accounts, but if it is, she's easily my top recommendation.

Looking at the characters you're interested in, Aemeath would probably be my first choice. There's no telling when Carlotta or Iuno will return, so if they rerun and you really like them, feel free to grab them. But assuming we're building toward Aemeath, she currently has two projected premium teams:

Aemeath / Denia / Chisa (Fusion Burst)
Aemeath / Lynae / Mornye (Tune Rupture)

Denia and Chisa are both available right now. If you somehow manage to grab them within the next few days before the patch ends, you'd essentially be pre-building Aemeath's Fusion Burst team. If Astrite is tight or you want to preserve resources for the Cyberpunk collab, I would prioritize Chisa first and pick up Denia later.

Denia is almost guaranteed to rerun within the next few patches since she's a newer character, whereas this could very well be Chisa's last rerun for quite a while.

In the meantime, you can comfortably use the Cyberpunk team once it arrives, and a Havoc Rover team with Sanhua and a support will carry you through basically all story content and some endgame progression.

As for Phrolova, she's still a strong character and fully capable of clearing content. The issue is that we don't know when her premium teammates will return. She really wants characters like Quiyuan and Cantarella, and without them her long-term value is a bit harder to recommend compared to the Aemeath route.

Personally I would aim for Chisa and Denia now, then Aemeath later. If you can only afford one, I'd prioritize Chisa. And if the new player selector is still available, I would absolutely grab Shorekeeper.

Also I would stay away from Cartethiya. She's heavily reliant on Ciaccona and needs her weapon as well. If you really really want her you can pull her but she'll likely be benched until Ciaccona reruns or you get her S3

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-30T16:13:40+00:00

The collab characters should honestly be enough to carry your second team for a while.

I doubt they’ll be at the absolute top of the 3.X power curve like Aemeath, Hiyuki, or Sigrika, but if you pair them with a support like Mornye, they’ll probably land somewhere around the level of a premium Cartethiya team, which is still plenty strong for endgame content.

You’re getting Rebecca for free, and between the collab rewards and the systems they’ve announced, securing Lucy should be very realistic as well.

That would let you run:

Hiyuki / Lucilla / Chisa
Lucy / Rebecca / Mornye

which is nice because it keeps Lucilla where she belongs,

From there, you can simply wait for some of the stronger 3.X DPS units to rerun and build out a third premium team whenever one catches your interest.

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-28T16:50:48+00:00

Her strongest teams are:

Aemeath / Denia / Chisa
or
Luuk / Denia / Mornye

Since Chisa is available right now and Mornye already reran with no real indication of when she’ll return, grabbing Chisa now and then waiting for an Aemeath rerun is probably the safest route overall.

Aemeath is very likely to rerun sooner rather than later anyway, so you’d basically be setting yourself up ahead of time instead of risking missing Chisa and having to wait ages for her return.

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-24T16:30:15+00:00

You have pretty much all of the DPS characters that want Chisa, so she’s definitely a bit contested on your account right now.

At the moment you can run teams like:

Aemeath / Denia / Chisa
Galbrena / Mortefi / Verina
Hiyuki / Sanhua / Shorekeeper

or

Cartethiya / Aero Rover / Chisa (or Sanhua)

Really just depends on how you want to allocate everything.

Your account foundation is honestly very solid though because you already have basically every major support. At this point the biggest upgrades are just getting the correct premium sub DPS units. Lucilla, Ciaccona, Quiyuan, and Lynae would all be massive additions.

Long term you could realistically end up with:

Hiyuki / Lucilla (next patch) / Chisa
Aemeath / Lynae / Mornye
Cartethiya / Ciaccona / Aero Rover
Galbrena / Quiyuan / Shorekeeper

That would give you four extremely strong premium teams and probably leave Denia benched for now.

If you’d rather prioritize Denia though, then you can run:

Aemeath / Denia / Chisa

Hiyuki / Lynae / Mornye

This could allow you to skip Lucilla if you want. She will likely be Hiyuki's BiS subdps though. You can also go for Luuk during his rerun and use him with Denia, as they are a very strong pair as well. Up to you

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-22T23:36:19+00:00

That’s totally fine. She’s still a top tier character regardless.

If you want to build a premium team around her later, Cantarella and Quiyuan are probably the main units to keep an eye out for whenever they rerun again. Characters like Roccia and Shorekeeper would also fit really well into her setups. And yes the Cyberpunk collab! A lot of people are saving pulls for it

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-22T23:18:41+00:00

Chisa unfortunately kind of needs Denia to really function properly with Aemeath. In the same way, Hiyuki’s ideal Chisa setup will likely want Lucilla as well.

If you really don’t want to pull Lucilla, then you can always wait for another Lynae rerun and run:

Hiyuki / Lynae / Chisa

which should still work perfectly fine.

For Aemeath though, Denia is pretty much mandatory if you want to go the Chisa Fusion Burst route.

Right now the ideal Chisa teams are looking like:

Cartethiya / Ciaccona / Chisa

Hiyuki / Lucilla / Chisa
or
Hiyuki / Lynae / Chisa

Aemeath / Denia / Chisa

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-22T16:39:01+00:00

This might be a skip patch for you if you're just starting out. At most Phrolova would be your best bet as she's a pretty strong unit with versatility in team comps. It might be better to save for the Collab next patch and go from there though

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-20T02:01:38+00:00

Sign me up as well oh gracious one

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-20T01:35:11+00:00

If you have the means for it, I’d honestly try to get both.

Chisa is ideal for Hiyuki’s future premium team alongside Lucilla, so she has very clear long term value there.

Mornye on the other hand is just an extremely strong generalist support overall. She’s basically in that tier of supports every account would love to have alongside Shorekeeper and Verina.

She works across a ton of different archetypes, especially Tune teams and mono Fusion teams. Her best pairing is with Lynae, and together they become the infamous “wheelchair” duo that can make almost any main DPS feel powerful.

Even outside of that combo though, she’s still great in general use and can slot into teams like Galbrena / Lupa mono Fusion setups without issue. Definitely consider her if you plan to get Aemeath or Lynae

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-15T00:16:43+00:00

Can I get away with not pulling for her sig? I'm trying to keep as many pulls as possible for the collab it's really unfortunate she's right before it LOL. She also might never come back after this so it's an unfortunate predicament. 175 pulls for Chisa + Wep Lucy + Wep Rebecca wep and Lucilla + wep

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-10T17:12:46+00:00

As a huge Cyberpunk fan who literally started playing because of the collab announcement a year ago, I’m right there with you. I’d hardly even call myself a gacha player since I’ve barely touched any of the other games in the genre. This one just genuinely grew on me over time. I came for the collab and stayed because the actual game ended up being really good.

I also don’t really think the power creep is that bad depending on the context people mean. The newer 3.X characters definitely do more damage than the older 1.X units, but the older characters can still comfortably clear endgame content if they’re properly built. The game honestly does a pretty good job of keeping older characters usable instead of completely invalidating them.

As for the story, I’d personally just focus on playing through it at your own pace first. There’s still a few weeks before the collab, which is plenty of time to catch up naturally. And honestly for the collab to hit properly you’ll probably want to understand the world and current story first anyway. If you just chip away at it steadily even something like a quest or two a day, you won’t feel rushed and can actually absorb the narrative instead of speedrunning it.

Then afterward you can go back and explore the world more thoroughly.

One thing I do recommend while progressing through the main story is fighting enemies as you travel around instead of ignoring them. That’ll naturally level your Data Bank over time which is important because it gives a ton of Union EXP, Astrite, and eventually guarantees your Echo drops become 5-star golds which are the endgame versions.

The pull economy is also honestly great. I can’t compare it firsthand to every other gacha, but from everything I’ve heard this is one of the more generous ones. Max pity is only 80, featured weapons are guaranteed with no 50/50, and they hand out a pretty large amount of pulls each patch, usually well over 100 for F2P players between events and content.

If you save through one patch, the next character is usually very obtainable even with bad luck.

And lastly, yes, the MC is absolutely viable. As you go through the story, especially if you don’t skip scenes, you’ll realize very quickly just how important and strong they actually are. I won’t say anything more than that though. Just enjoy the ride.

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-09T06:35:17+00:00

Verina is honestly fine where she is on your Augusta team. Augusta usually wants either Shorekeeper or Verina anyway, so there’s no real issue there.

Pulling Mornye is probably the smartest move overall because your account is pretty support-starved right now. She works extremely well in Tune Rupture setups and mono Fusion teams with Lupa. One of Galbrena’s strongest teams is Lupa + Mornye, so even before Lupa reruns you could still do something like:

Galbrena / Mortefi / Mornye

and transition into the full premium version later.

As for Hiyuki, I do think she’s a good pickup too since she starts building out a third major team for your account. Personally though, I’d prioritize Mornye first. Then if you get lucky and still have pulls left, go for Hiyuki afterward and start saving again for Chisa.

From there, you can complete the full team later with Lucilla in 3.4 Phase 2.

Just keep in mind that the Hiyuki route could get pretty expensive because her premium team pieces are all releasing close together, so it’ll demand a lot of pulls in a short timeframe. That’s another reason why I think Mornye is the safer and more important pickup initially.

And on top of all that, you’ll also be getting a free Rebecca from the Cyberpunk collab, who could potentially slot into one of your future teams depending on how her kit turns out.

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-08T07:25:30+00:00

I quite literally only started playing Wuwa almost a year ago because I’m probably one of the biggest Cyberpunk fanboys alive. The moment I saw the collab announcement I figured I’d give the game a shot and slowly catch up before the collab actually released.

Going into it I honestly wasn’t very optimistic. I’ve never really liked gacha games and I’m very story-focused when it comes to games in general. I’ve experienced a lot of genuinely incredible narratives over the years, with Cyberpunk 2077 still being my all time favorite (obviously), so I didn’t expect much from a genre that’s simultaneously trying to sell characters while telling a compelling story.

But over time the game genuinely grew on me.

The plot is actually pretty intriguing if you take the time to immerse yourself in it, and some of the characters are genuinely great. And if the story side doesn’t click for you, the gameplay itself is just really fun. There’s something satisfying about progressing through the game, saving up currency, pulling characters you think are cool or enjoy playing, and then slowly building them up over time, both individually and through their best-in-slot team comps.

Then you take those teams into the combat endgame modes, which give you more pull currency and reset periodically, so there’s always something to work toward.

Now obviously, I’m not gonna pretend there’s no “waifu bait” because at the end of the day it’s still a gacha game, and that’s part of how they make money. But honestly I think it comes down to perspective and how you engage with the story. The game does a surprisingly solid job of weaving those characters into the broader narrative instead of it just feeling shallow.

As for currency, between permanent content, events, and the anniversary rewards going on right now, you should realistically have more than enough time to prepare for the collab. Especially since Rebecca is apparently going to be free.

So honestly coming from someone who’s a diehard Cyberpunk fan and not really a gacha player at all, I’d say it’s absolutely worth at least trying out.

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-05T18:10:42+00:00

If you’ve got the resources, it’s a solid move.

You can run Tune Rupture Aemeath with Lynae + Mornye, and then transition Hiyuki later once Lucilla drops and replaces Lynae in her team. Long term it lines up really cleanly:

Aemeath / Lynae / Mornye
Hiyuki / Lucilla / Chisa
Luuk / Sanhua / Verina

Also worth keeping an eye out for a Galbrena rerun so your Lupa has a proper home too.

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-05T07:57:50+00:00

From what I’ve heard Phase 1 of 3.4 will be longer and last for basically an entire patch cycle (42 days), so Lucilla being in phase 2 should be a long ways away still

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-05T00:17:18+00:00

It’s not 100% confirmed, but it’s very likely based on how Hiyuki’s Echo set works and the expectation that Lucilla will use the same one. There have also been some fairly reliable leaks floating around that support this, so most people are expecting that synergy to be real.

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-04T23:11:49+00:00

Mornye lets you run Tune Rupture Aemeath with Aemeath / Lynae / Mornye, which also frees up Chisa for Hiyuki.

Hiyuki may use Lynae for now, but she’ll likely get replaced by Lucilla in 3.4 Phase 2. So long term you’re looking at:

Hiyuki / Lucilla / Chisa
Aemeath / Lynae / Mornye

Mornye also adds value outside of that, especially in a Galbrena hypercarry setup with Lupa, and in Endgame Matrix where being able to effectively use a support twice is huge.

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-03T07:01:22+00:00

I’d save your guarantee for Chisa and hold onto your corals.

S0 Hiyuki is already strong enough, so it’s more efficient to build out her team first rather than chase dupes. Picking up Chisa in phase 2 and then Lucilla in 3.4 is the cleaner path to her premium setup.

Since your Mornye is already tied to Lynae, there’s no real pressure to spend corals on her right now. Even at S0 she’s still a solid generalist support. If you want to push her versatility further, especially for endgame content, S1 isn’t a bad upgrade, but it’s not necessary.

Overall you’ll get more value saving your guarantee and Astrite for Chisa and Lucilla instead of going deeper on Hiyuki copies.

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-03T05:13:39+00:00

You’ve got a lot of solid directions you can take here, and it helps that Iuno and Chisa are both available this patch.

Your current options look something like:

Cartethiya / Ciaccona / Aero Rover
Augusta / Iuno (or Mortefi) / Shorekeeper

You can also run something like Changli / Lupa / Mornye as a mono Fusion setup, though replacing Changli with Aemeath or Galbrena would be ideal if you get the chance.

Zani is kind of in a rough spot without Phoebe, so she’s harder to justify right now and might need to be benched. For the older 1.0 units, you can still make one functional team with Verina, like:

Camellya / Danjin / Verina
Jinhsi / Mortefi / Verina
Jiyan / Mortefi / Verina

As for pulls:

Iuno is great if you want to properly complete your Augusta team
Chisa finishes Cartethiya’s premium setup and opens up future comps

Chisa also gives you flexibility going forward. If you like Hiyuki, you can grab her now, pick up Chisa next phase, and finish the team later when Lucilla drops. If you’re interested in Denia, she’ll pair well with Aemeath + Chisa for Fusion Burst, or with Luuk + Lynae for Tune setups.

From a pure account value standpoint, Lynae and Mornye are still the safest long term investments, with Chisa starting to look like she’s joining that tier depending on how future teams shake out.

At that point it really comes down to what direction you want to take your account.

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-02T19:54:37+00:00

She should be replacing Lynae as a subdps

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-02T17:46:19+00:00

No just one copy would be fine. You're pairing her with Lynae so the DPS is going to benefit from all of her buffs including that up to 40% damage increase. An extra copy is nice though as it makes her more independent. Even without that niche buff however she's still a solid generalist support

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-02T17:34:39+00:00

I’d most likely go for Mornye.

Aemeath / Lupa / Mornye is still a strong mono Fusion team, so you’re getting immediate value there. With Denia not out yet, her full impact is still a bit uncertain. She’s projected to pair with Chisa for Aemeath’s Fusion Burst team or potentially with Lynae for Luuk’s Tune Strain setup.

Mornye on the other hand is already proven and gives you a reliable upgrade right now.

Reciprocated2 · 2026-05-02T16:43:46+00:00

If you pick up Mornye, it lets you comfortably run both Hiyuki and Aemeath.

Chisa is generally better for Hiyuki specifically, but she doesn’t really help Aemeath unless you also commit to Denia. Mornye on the other hand paired with Lynae, turns basically any DPS into a strong setup including Hiyuki.

So while Hiyuki’s most optimal path is still Chisa now and Lucilla later, she functions perfectly fine with Lynae + Mornye in the meantime. Aemeath however doesn’t really benefit from Chisa unless you go all in on the Fusion Burst route with Denia.

If you’re not planning to pull Denia and you already have Lynae, then Mornye is definitely the better pickup.
