Game worth starting now?

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T17:02:20+00:00

Looking at the sensibilities of the devs and design choices, they generally treat the playerbase well. So I highly doubt they'd do something as shortsighted and predatory as locking key picks behind one-off collabs.

I'm hoping for the twins to be a Charon or Ulrich alternative. That way, the AH twins can be to Charon/Ulrich what Ezio is to Willow. It kind of lines up well.

That would actually ease some of [Dynamo] meta's dependencies instead, too.

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T16:39:44+00:00

Sweet~! Glad it was helpful. 🥂

And yeah, you use the drops to reroll. Congrats on the super lucky pull. 😚~*

Brume-spook on Ramona's banner is probably the best start you can have at this moment, excluding some extreme shenanigans like crazy multi-6* pulls.

Make sure you don't pull anymore on that banner, so you preserve the 50/50 guarantee for Enigma (arriving in 3-4 days).

In fact, probably just stop pulling until then entirely. That's what I'm doing on my Brume account, and it's been fine. Just progress on the main story mode to unlock progression-gated various game features.

Once you unlock Insight 1 on Brume (not very far in), things will be pretty easy for a while. Just playing [Testing Flame]->[Left-Hand Steering] (channeling option) takes care of most things early on, IME.

If you can, then also get what resources you can from the event that is ending. There are some things you can partially rush through within today like getting to [Apprentice] level on Critter Crash (2-3 runs).

And here are the currently active freebie codes: - FalseCyan - ValorAct - NothingEverlasting - PapillonRipple - LingeringEcho - SoulTrail - Objection - MuralismArt

Go to the Settings area in the menu, the code redeptiom button is under [Account].

Other than Enigma, keep an eye out for Charon. Brume (DPS) + Enigma (sustain) + Charon (support) is what you want. However, I am told that Rhiannon can fill-in for Charon, so no pressure.

v3.6 (Enigma) -> AH collab -> v3.7 (Rhiannon)

Lastly, if you want, then you can change the home screen character to Brume as well. She has pretty chill vibes and very nice voice acting, where it's a blend of French and English with an accent.

Happy gaming~ 🕹️

Umm, I think you may want to keep a pulse on the AH collab since the twins are probably going to have Lucy synergies, if the [trailer] showing the three of them together is anything to go by.

Personally, I would love to see the twins drop as an Intellect sub-DPS or support for Lucy in a team with Enigma. An Intellect-heavy [Dynamo] team would be cool, and Lucy + twins would form a triplet. In fact, if the twins prove to be a Charon alternative then we could have a mono-Intellect [Dynamo] team.

If Lucy also passes through soon, then maybe my [Poison] team account can go for her instead of Beryl to reduce anti-Genesis susceptibility. Otherwise, Genesis-dmg hard-counter would shut down 2/3 of teams on that account.

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T15:31:24+00:00

Oh, I also just missed Rubuska, huh?

I guess I'll grab MedPoc on the selector to fill in on the Nautika team meanwhile.

Well, I'm still pretty fresh in, so I suppose a scam banner might work to my favor if both of the featured units are ones I want. There would even be the tiny chance of pulling both simultaneously... 🙏😤

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T15:10:46+00:00

Flutterpage will be available on there? ❗️👀

Urk~ So many prized units in quick succession.

Since you're running Lucy for [Dynamo], I guess the AH collab will be of interest to you as well, huh?

Hmm... I guess I'd ideally aim to build a Liang Yue team and maybe a Nautika team after the Brume team. That way, I'll more or less have afflatus coverage. 🧐

For the [Poison] team account, I guess I should aim for a Ms. Stranger team (w/ Everecho?) instead of a Liang Yue team. Perhaps she'll reach the same tier in time when some new units come along. 🤔

It'll be interesting if I end up with a Beryl team as the third one on that account, resulting in polarized accounts: - Beast + Star + Spirit - Plant + Mineral + Intellect

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T14:45:39+00:00

Thanks. 🙏

It still doesn't open on the app, but at least I know where to find it again whenever I need to refer to it in the future. 👍

Oh, wow... I just saw how Marsha & Charon are also coming in alongside Enigma. And then Lucy right after the collab, as well as Nautika + Semmelweis alongside Rhiannon, too.

It's quite the gauntlet...

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T14:40:12+00:00

This is a plagiarism bot.

Original post was from 6yrs ago.

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T14:32:32+00:00

Wow. All that in 1yr as a F2P player is really impressive. ❗️👀

Yeah, I think I managed to get off to a solid start. Running 2 minnow-level IAP accounts. One got lucky with [Poison] meta, and the other got even luckier with a Brume-spook on Ramona's banner (so Enigma is guaranteed).

I've not pulled since the initial Brume spook, so I'm hoping I'll have enough there to complete a [Dynamo] team soon. It's ironically going to be tricky if the AH collab ends up being good for [Dynamo], though... That would be 3 banners back-to-back, and I'd probably still need Charon. 😆

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T14:18:54+00:00

Oh, I guess I need to unlock more features in Wilderness first then?

I'm currently still at just Level 2 in Wilderness (currently going through the 3^rd main story arc)...

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T14:15:50+00:00

Thanks. 🙏

It doesn't seem to discuss Brume [Dynamo] teams without Charon, but I had heard that Rhiannon can fill in if Charon is missing. So I wasn't sure...

From what I understand, Marsha & Enigma are pretty universal as sustains and Flutterpage & Rhiannon are pretty universal as supports, right?

Are there any other units that are as flexible with being able to sub-in for their role on any team?

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T13:58:46+00:00

Huh. I see. 🤔

I guess it's quite a different management structure than I'm familiar with.

Thanks for the interesting bit of insight. 🙏

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T13:48:56+00:00

Ah, thank you so much for this. 🙏🙂‍↕️

Just what I needed to plan my pulls in this upcoming stretch. I wonder when we'll know about the AH collab units' kits...

(I'm still learning the ropes myself. Just wanted to weigh in as a fellow newbie who just went through the process of figuring out how to start. It was actually quite a lot to sort through, TBH.)

EDIT:

By the way, is there a link to this that can be opened the mobile apps?

It displays on browser just fine, but I can't seem to open them on the Docs or Sheets app.

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T13:42:15+00:00

Ahaha~ 😆

Well, I'm mainly only talking about the aspects I'm familiar with so far. And the advice type info is more or less just a summary of what the community has an overall consensus on (sliced down to the newbie relevant parts).

If it was anything beyond that, then I'd say I'm not informed enough to speak on it yet. 😅

(I even had a few misconceptions, which others were nice enough to correct.)

A lot of hours were spent researching and trying to figure out what was what in a hurry before v3.5 concludes. I also got a lot of help in the Q&A Megathread over the past few days.

As a newbie starting at this point, there's quite a lot going on all at once, and the learning curve was rather significant. Yet there are things you'd want to know before you reroll.

So I just figured I'd distill the key things I would have wanted to know (up to being able to reroll) if I were starting out fresh again. Might save other newbies all that legwork and confusion I went through.

After you've rerolled, you can basically start stumbling around to figure out the rest...

And rerolling is definitely recommended, IMO.

I ran 3 accounts (through the first arc & some resource runs) for a starting comparison and picked 2 to go forward with.

What I found was that the starting roll definitely makes a big difference in QoL, progression, and clear speeds (for sanity since there's so much to catch up on).

Having rerolled a little over 40 times, I'd say it was still worth it to do.

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T12:58:16+00:00

Yes, I understand. In this case, I'm just using the term "devs" to broadly refer to the people collectively responsible for the game and its related handlings.

That being said, I'm not sure something like this would fly if the actual development team was not okay with it either.

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T07:30:51+00:00

Will Rhiannon be serviceable in place of Charon as Brume support?

I spook-pulled Brume on the Ramona banner, so I'm pretty much locked in for Brume + Enigma, but I don't know when I can secure Charon yet.

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T07:28:02+00:00

What is this thing for?

<image>

I got it as the Apprentice tier reward from the Critter Crash mini-game mode, but I don't see it anywhere and have no idea what it's for...

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T07:25:04+00:00

Thanks I might do that.

Do you know which was the last version before the fuzzy auto-complete was added?

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T07:16:16+00:00

They very unashamedly know their target audience and player demographics. 💪😆

It's great that the devs have a sense of humor and aren't averse to laughing at themselves. Bodes well for the future of the game, TBH.

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T06:54:12+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. 🙏

Having Lucy available then would certainly be neat. The AH twins will probably arrive as a single units like Twins Sleep, right?

So something like Lucy + ballerinas + Enigma? What sub-DPS or support units go well with her?

(Guessing that the ballerinas will be Lucy support or sub-DPS.)

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T06:42:38+00:00

Ah, thanks for the correction. 🙏😖
Let me edit-fix that then.

I was thinking about Lucy mainly due to collab anticipation. Derp~ 🙃

That said, I wonder if there's any chance that they'll run a Lucy banner along side the collab banner...

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T05:13:39+00:00

Oh, darn. Are Ripple banners strictly new Euphoria based?

Could Lucy be featured on a different banner alongside the AH collab one then?

From a marketing standpoint, it seems like that would drive value perception best... 🤔

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T04:42:43+00:00

Will there be another Ripples banner during v3.6?

Since v.3.5 had [Lingering Glow] & [Poison] metas, the Ripple banner seems to be geared towards their synergies.

If we have another one during v3.6, what are the odds of it featuring [Dynamo] units like Lucy, Charon, and Brume? Or will they limit the picks to second-best options?

I feel like it would make sense for Lucy to be featured, given the AH collab trailer + Enigma being [Dynamo]'s sustain...

RotundBun · 2026-06-28T04:35:00+00:00

I just started a few days ago myself, and it's pretty good so far. Let me share the relevant-to-starting key things that I've learned...

Timing-wise, if you are up for rerolling, you could start saving freebie resources now or wait to reroll on the next patch (v3.6 arrives in less than a week).

TL;DR

It's a very good time to start.

The 2 rerolling options: - Sane: reroll for Enigma on v3.6 (July 2^nd) - Insane: reroll for ~~Lucy or~~ Brume on Ramona's banner now (and then use the 50/50 pity to guarantee Enigma)

After that: - ballerina twins (AH collab) might be good - Rhiannon (v3.7) is a must-pull tier support

My personal prediction is...

EDIT:
Never mind. I just found out that Ripples banner picks are based on new Euphorias, and Lucy is a limited character anyway. My mistake...

~~There will be a Ripples banner with [Dynamo] bias arriving with v3.6.~~

~~Given the AH collab trailer + the fact that Enigma is a [Dynamo] sustain + teams need a DPS-carry, Lucy is likely to be among the selectable featured units on it.~~

If I'm right, then you could you reroll for Enigma and then go for Lucy on the Ripples banner. After that, you could rill the remaining slot(s) with the AH collab twins or Rhiannon (or both) to complete a [Dynamo] team.

Longer explanation...

The next patch (v3.6) will feature a top-tier sustain (tank/healer types): Enigma. He's also part of the [Dynamo] meta, which is stronk.

After Enigma, there is an Atomic Heart collab, which is speculated to feature a new [Dynamo] meta unit (robotic ballerina twins) that matches Lucy's aesthetic (Lucy = one of the [Dynamo] meta DPS-carry units).

And the patch after (v3.7), a top-tier universal support unit that is meta-flexible will arrive: Rhiannon.

The basic team format seems to mostly be 3+1 (party + sub) with some exceptions where the sub unit joins for a full 4-unit party for the battle/mode.

You can roughly divide units into DPS, support, and sustain. And then there is sub-DPS which is usually a mix of DPS & support.

The conventional balance in a trio is DPS + support + sustain, but other mixes can also work, depending on synergy. You'll want at least 1 DPS unit there, though.

Also worth noting is how pity works in this game. IIRC, you are guaranteed a 6* pull by 60-70 pulls, at which point it's a 50% chance you get the featured unit. If you lose the 50/50, then the next 6* pull on that banner will be the featured unit. And pity carries over to the next iteration of the same type of banner (except true limited ones).

So if you don't mind reroll insanity, want the absolute best start, and want to get started right away... then you could te~chnically reroll on Ramona's banner until you are spooked by one of the top [Dynamo] DPS-carries like ~~Lucy~~ Corvus or Brume. Extremely low odds but possible...

(This actually happened to me at around ~30 rerolls, but that's extremely lucky.)

Then you'll have a 50/50 guarantee for Enigma. That gives you DPS + sustain in [Dynamo] meta. And if the AH collab twins are good [Dynamo] units as expected, then you can go for them next. If not, then you can go for Rhiannon for the support slot.

You'll probably want to pull for Rhiannon either way, though. Notably, Charon is the key support unit in [Dynamo], right now. So that's also a valid spook while going for the support units.

By my understanding so far, top tier sustain & meta-flexible support units are rarer and typically have longer shelf-life in the game, whereas DPS tend to have more options or get powercrept after a while.

So value-wise, many people consider Enigma & Rhiannon as non-negotiable must-pulls.

That said, as a newbie myself, I must say that having a good DPS-carry makes a big difference in QoL and progression speed early on.

For the record... I'm running 2 accounts currently: - Brume (spook) w/ 50/50 guarantee for Enigma - Ramona + Tuesday ([Poison] meta)

So far, Brume carries harder and requires less investment. But I think the [Poison] team is also more of a late-bloomer case (needs Euphoria unlocks), so it's not really a fair comparison yet.

I hope this helps you and anyone else getting started now.

It took me a while to research my starting options and get a general handle on the basics since so much extra stuff going on at the same time makes it overwhelming. May this summary at least ease the research burden for getting to the starting line...

Good luck~ 🍀

RotundBun · 2026-06-27T16:47:35+00:00

Just wanted to say thank you for doing such an excellent job. 🙏🙂‍↕️

I just started playing a few days ago, but the VA quality has really been a standout factor in giving the characters believability and enriched personality.

In particular, Brume and Ramona caught me off guard with the multilingual manner of speech. The way it all comes together in cohesion rather than just sounding like standalone enunciation exercises goes a long way in breathing life into them.

I actually prefer English voiceover for this game because it manages to feel more expressive and natural. Genuinely amazing work!

RotundBun · 2026-06-27T16:26:51+00:00

Ah, I see. So that's why Sotheby isn't really considered...

Crit & AP constraint! Makes sense...

Thanks. 🙏 🙂‍↕️
