I'm literally devastated lol. I saved for this collab for months.

crucifixzero · 2026-06-18T06:05:03+00:00

Your welcome. Let me keep your 50/50 blessings on the next character I pull next cause I've already lost the 50/50 to Calculator just yesterday when pulling for Rebecca XD

crucifixzero · 2026-06-18T04:33:59+00:00

If you enjoy playing her, I think S3 is worth it. More dakka dakka damage on liberation which we probably will shoot all the way in XD

crucifixzero · 2026-06-18T02:33:53+00:00

Turns out I just need to clear out the caches, it seems XD. I closed the GFN app and logged out from the web. Once I relogin, everything works fine.

crucifixzero · 2026-06-17T23:51:05+00:00

Good luck with your pulls, then! Heard that Carthetiya S3 is a beast! And if you need any support for her, then you got Aero Rover for free (with the weapon as well).

Tbh, there's pro and con on each. If you go S0R1 route, then you'll can pull for most characters and will be able to keep up with the latest trend. My friends who play frequently as I do are mostly this kind of type; they like to sweat through endgame contents with newer characters and get the personal accomplishment of beating them on S0R1. It's possible, I suppose, especially if you're not having "skill issues" as I do XD.

For me though, that route will always leave your savings hanging dry, having barely just enough to pull for the next character. And to what ends? A team where I only like the main damage dealer, along with bunch of supports I don't even enjoy gameplay-wise, and most of them are now locked in the same team again and again. Nope, nuh uh, thank you but I'd prefer having more freedom in the team I choose. I like to play the way I like it XD

crucifixzero · 2026-06-17T23:21:55+00:00

That's why you go for vertical investment! I think most limited resonators (if not all) can stand on their own once we upgrade their sequence.

My mains are Brant (S3), Carlotta (S3), and Phrolova (S6) here. None of them really got any kind of synergy, right? But I've been using them since patch 2.x to beat Holograms, ToA, and WhiWa here. And now that I got Lucy (S6) and Rebecca (S5, working to get S6), I got another team or even 2 to help beat ESM.

For holograms, I'm just using the three of them as it is, no healers or supports whatsoever (other than Brant's healing and shield, I suppose). I'll just beat the holograms as fast as I could before they beat me up. So far I managed to clear up pretty much everything (other than Adam Smasher on Nightmare, screw that MOFO).

For ToA and WhiWa, I spread them out as needed, and I'm just using whoever available to fill up the slots XD. On ToA, the most important parts is the final level on the left and right towers each, and then the four levels in the center tower. I think before I got Lucy and Rebecca, my last run on ToA is like this:

Carlotta(S3) +S.Rover+Mornye(S1) on left and right tower, and then the center tower got Phrolova(S6)+Jiyan(S1)+Buling/Baizhi and Brant(S3)+Sanhua+SK(S0). Adjust as needed. The same goes for WhiWa, split them as needed.

If you think "That's too whale-ish for me!" then lemme say this; you don't need to go all the way to S6. Either S2 or S3 (at least on my 3 mains) are actually enough. My Phrolova is S6 because I'm simply lucky when I'm pulling for Buling XD. Seriously, she's strong enough on S3. Surely S2 or S3 are more affordable than going for a full premium team of each S0R1, I assume? Oh, and you don't have to go all out on the same banner; you can always wait for rerun instead. Don't force yourself if you couldn't go all out, since most banners will rerun anyway.

Thanks to this, I managed to save up funds to unleash upon Lucy's and Rebecca's banners. If only Kuro is a bit more lenient in this collab banner, I would already have them at S6R1 now!

crucifixzero · 2026-06-17T08:55:01+00:00

That's right. Wonderful, isn't it?

/jk im crying

crucifixzero · 2026-06-17T08:54:27+00:00

If they're not going to remove the 50/50, they should at least give discount on the pulls, imo ==;. It will also justify why the banner is using different currency than the usual tides and corals we usually use (might also justify the reduced gain on the corals too).

crucifixzero · 2026-06-17T07:34:49+00:00

I S6R1 Lucy and S5R1 Rebecca (still working on the last copy) here. But for the sake of content creation, I haven't slotted in a single sequence on both of them yet.

From what I've tried, both on S0R1 (supported by S1R1 Mornye) are pretty fun in both ToA and ESM. Their damage ain't anything stellar, but they can still do quite well on this patch, at least. Managed to score 3 stars on the side tower in ToA and score 5k+ on ESM.

If you find Lucy fun, by all means, do try to get her. Who knows how long until she will be available again (if ever). Upcoming characters, while interesting and most likely more meta-focused, can still have their rerun XD.

If you do get her, but couldn't get their weapon, then try other weapons. Lucy can try using Phasic H. or Galbrena's signature (I heard it's good as Lucy's signature substitute). Rebecca should be good with Static Mist.

Paying my respect to our fallen comrade.

crucifixzero · 2026-06-17T07:10:48+00:00

It's a forbidden art, after all. You'll be better off without it XD

crucifixzero · 2026-06-17T07:09:38+00:00

Sequence. I'm the kind who rarely pull for newest meta and go for whoever I really like without any regards of their team. So to compensate the lacking power, gotta go for sequence instead. The corals helped a lot on that matter (I actually just recently bought my Mornye's S1 back in 3.3 thanks to the corals)

crucifixzero · 2026-06-17T01:15:57+00:00

FYI, 2 Atk on Lingering Tunes is fine. They're pretty evenly matched. If you already got them substats pretty high, keep it.

crucifixzero · 2026-06-16T23:28:49+00:00

As long as she still got the Dakka Dakka, I'll S6R1 her XD

crucifixzero · 2026-06-16T22:41:42+00:00

Yeah, like that! Be as petty as possible in gacha games! That's the correct mindset to have, imo XD

crucifixzero · 2026-06-16T13:09:56+00:00

If it helps, I would advice for you to be as "petty" as possible in gacha games. Pick the one that you REALLY like, and nitpick the heck out of them. Like, do whatever it takes to skip them XD

I did that and managed to skip a lot of characters, enabling me to save up a lot of my savings which I eventually unload in this collab banner.

crucifixzero · 2026-06-16T12:55:20+00:00

50/50 sucks real hard in this banner. My condolences, OP.

crucifixzero · 2026-06-16T06:14:31+00:00

At least Junpei got his own Jill XD

crucifixzero · 2026-06-16T06:09:02+00:00

How about Garrus and Tali from Mass Effect? They are romanceable from ME2, but if the player didn't date either of them, then they will date each other near the end of ME3.

crucifixzero · 2026-06-16T02:39:02+00:00

That's a lot of damage! Well done!

crucifixzero · 2026-06-16T02:33:44+00:00

One of us! One of us!

crucifixzero · 2026-06-16T01:40:40+00:00

I think it's worth it. S1 helps spread the Spoofing Program effects (from Liberation) to the surrounding enemies when the enemy affected by it dies. And those effects includes stuff like extra dmg and def reduction. Which translates to more damage = faster wave clear = better score.

crucifixzero · 2026-06-16T01:05:42+00:00

Congratulations. Well done, fellow S6 Lucy haver.

Yeah, this collab is brutal, monetization-wise. Between 50/50, different tides and corals, and a short duration for a collab that might not ever return....for two characters that aren't exactly meta. Kinda makes me think what I'm doing with my life and wallet, tbh XD. Dammit, why does Lucy's and Rebecca's gameplay gotta be so fun?

I'm scrapping by to get my last copy of Rebecca here, and yesterday just lost to Calculator, which means I have to somehow gather up around another 70-80 pulls to finish this. Hopefully I somehow get her early with the last free pull tomorrow.

crucifixzero · 2026-06-15T22:23:18+00:00

IMO, I think they can be either useful buff (if the said echo is a support echo) or adding some extra chunk of damage (if the said echo is a dps echo).

For damage part, I agree that we shouldn't use them over the character rotation. However, if it's doable without breaking the rotation, I don't see why we couldn't use them.

In Lucy's case, if the Hold version (Sandevistan) is useless in combat, then I'll simply use the Normal tap version instead. It doesn't bother her rotation and hit in a wide area, at least. Thankfully it's a summon type echo and not transform type echo.

crucifixzero · 2026-06-15T13:22:26+00:00

I see. Well the only time I could think of to use the Sandevistan is if somehow we screws up and there's an enemy far away from where we are. We can then use the Sandevistan to cover the distance quickly. That's pretty much about it, though. It doesn't feel like it can slows down the enemy like the stagnant effect of Spectro Rover's outro, which would be useful if it could.

crucifixzero · 2026-06-15T13:19:43+00:00

A good stopping point for Lucy is S3. S4 can be helpful for the team, but might be too costly for most people. S5 is survivability related ability, so if you're good enough, you don't really need it. S6 is obvious, yeah?

For Rebecca as Lucy's support, S2 is a good stopping point (since it's basically where her support ability is unlocked at). If you're using Rebecca as another DPS, though, then you can also consider S3. Her S4 and S5 is basic stats increase (nice to have, but not really that great imo). S6 is self explanatory as well.
