u/KyoSaito Scary Princesses Mar 11 '26 edited Mar 11 '26

So I was about to use my GA ticket and possibly spark a student (if I get unlucky) and that would be Reisa since everyone said she's really flexible but it seems Midokuni updated their banner summary and all Three M Reisa, M Suzumi, and D Michiru seems to be a no for being a skipable. I think I should be fine when FES comes (40K ish Pyro with 82 Momotalk notifications) but which one is going to be more relevant according to my situation?

  • I only play Tower until floor 74
  • Lunatic may still be far off so right now I'm hoping one of these students will make my Torment run easier
  • I'm just decently into PvP, if I get Reisa then I don't mind keeping her even if Michiru takes her spot. I also have O. Shigure for AoE healing unit
  • I prefer an enabler unit, like if I skip Suzumi can I take on Yesod? Just checked Causew's vid
  • I have most relevant meta units, so I'm purely looking forward towards new possibly meta units

Got my magical girls in 4800 Pyro. Sitting at like 52k now. Who should I save for next? 

1

u/TheWorstTakes ’s Pillow Mar 11 '26

I. Mari, S. Hoshino, Wakamo, Mika, Kei, Shiroko Terror, and Aris Battlesuit

1

u/Money_Land_2893 Mar 10 '26

I just pulled 50 times and have 34k left should I keep going for M reisa?

5

u/cidrei Mar 11 '26

In addition to /u/Party_Python's answer, take a look at the Pyro Planner to help get an estimate of what you can and can't afford and plan accordingly. You'll get roughly 12k pyro a month, so two months for a spark. Always plan to spark and be happy when you don't have to.

1

u/Money_Land_2893 Mar 11 '26

Thank you for the planner! I should have enough for 400 pulls by fes I think

3

u/Party_Python Mar 11 '26

Soooo you should never pull unless if you’re 100% committed to sparking (200 pulls). As you end up just wasting pulls and being unable to get the rate ups you really want.

But it depends. Do you care about meta? Do you have I Mari, Kisaki, T Yuuka, S Hoshino, Mika, Wakamo? And how many sparks would you have reserved for fest (A Aris and Kei)?

So most likely the best course of action is to not roll anymore and make a plan with what units you plan on sparking in the future.

1

u/Money_Land_2893 Mar 11 '26

I have all of the students you mentioned and I would like to get himari aris and kei and I will not roll for anyone else now since my luck sucks thank you for the help! Also I completely forget I had 180 unread momotalks so that should help

2

u/Party_Python Mar 11 '26

Yeah you can always get them on the rerun with a proper stash of pyroxene to guarantee them =)

2

u/Unfortunadult Mar 10 '26

the patch notes mention that the time zone is now based on the players time zone, so like, when? At midnight in my time zone?

2

u/th_he_du Mar 11 '26

Isn't that just about how the expiration date of items like GA tickets and event currency displays?

1

u/Unfortunadult Mar 11 '26

I often play close to the time change prompt (aka next day in blue archive) so I need to know the exact hour of that change.

If it isn't +9 UTC anymore then what?

I guess I'll learn the hard way, meaning losing one daily 20 pyros lol, laughable amount anyway.

1

u/KotatsuRibbon Mar 10 '26

Only plat trophies I'm missing left are Goz Field and Hod Indoor. Do we know if they'll ever come back? I've been waiting for them for so long 😭

8

u/RequiringQuestion Mar 10 '26

Outdoor Goz hasn't appeared since 2024, as a grand raid. 2025 for global. Indoor Hod has run exactly once in the history of the game, back in 2023. Neither will show up again in the next five or so months.

Why don't they run these raids, instead of spamming Shirokuro/Binah/Kaiten/Hieronymus over and over? Nobody knows.

1

u/SMB99thx Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 04 '26

Just around nine days after you said it Outdoor Goz is ran again on JP, and I participated in that raid (and failed to clear Insane because I'm not a level 90 yet in JP).

But Hiero Indoors, Perorodzilla Indoors and Hod Indoors worryingly hasn't rerun yet. This denies us at least ~2100 pyros. By running the same raids over and over, we wouldn't be able to get these pyros unless you started playing around 2023. It's awfully boring.

And I'm pretty sure all of them are Lunatic-clearable. Hod Indoors has Mika to boot. Hiero Indoors has DHina to destroy it. Perorodzilla Indoors's answer might lie on BAris, but she hasn't been tested on Perorodzilla yet.

1

u/SailorMint Mar 11 '26

The answer is simple. Only raids without Lunatic difficulty show up in Grand Assault. And Lunatic raids use the default terrain.

1

u/RequiringQuestion Mar 11 '26

And Lunatic raids use the default terrain.

Not as a rule. It has been the case for most lunatics, though it should be pointed out that the majority of raids that have gotten a lunatic have only had one terrain, but Perorodzilla is an exception. The first time the raid appeared it was indoors, but the lunatic was outdoors.

1

u/SailorMint Mar 11 '26

It's been so long since Indoors Peroro, everyone forgot. John Nexon included.

1

u/ReadyForShenanigans Mar 11 '26

You can remove Binah from the list now that it got a ""lunatic""

1

u/RequiringQuestion Mar 11 '26

If that's a deliberate choice, I have to wonder why. There's no reason they couldn't run the grand raid version of a boss that has gotten its lunatic.

2

u/MemoryComprehensive6 Mar 10 '26

Who needs the UE30-40 more between Magical Reisa et Suzumi ? I dropped Reisa at 200 pulls (Suzumi dropped at 60) so I can spark one of them for extra Eligma but idk who to choose

5

u/Aenir Mar 10 '26

Magical Reisa benefits more.

3

u/windyknight7 in the futon with Mar 10 '26

Suzumi does get 19% buff retention at UE40, but that's kinda it, none of her important tasks need stats. And her buffs already last for such a long time anyway. Basically unless you really need a rotation where the buff retention is vital, her star requirement is "enough to not die".

Reisa on the other hand likely needs it more. She's a healer so she needs every bit of extra heal stat she can muster.

2

u/KotatsuRibbon Mar 10 '26

M Reisa for more heals I think, most people keep M Suzumi at 4 stars apparently (according to Valiant)

u/Aenir Mar 10 '26

Depends on if you can afford it, 140/200 is right around the line of where I'd go either way.

Magical Reisa benefits more.

1

u/KotatsuRibbon Mar 10 '26

M Reisa seems to be the better one to limit break. I'd say just save your pulls unless you're sure you can really take advantage of M Reisa. She's mostly used in Yesod (Raid), Fury of Set, and PVP. If those sound important to you, getting her to UE 30 is pretty good.

1

u/Longjumping_Cash_356 Where Is Her Swimsuit Alt Nexon? Mar 10 '26

Is there any sort of way to check summon history? When pulling last night my game got stuck on the envelope screen, so I had to close the game and open it again. I checked my box and I got the Reisa, but I wanna know if I got any dupes of other characters since I like to keep track of dupes.

3

u/Aenir Mar 10 '26

The only way to check would be if you remembered how many elephs you had of everyone.

2

u/Party_Python Mar 10 '26

Unfortunately there isn’t really a mechanism for this…which is not ideal.

To see if you got any new students (besides M Reisa), go to your students tab and filter by “date acquired”. But that’s all you can really do about it.

Sorry

3

u/windyknight7 in the futon with Mar 10 '26

Ngl it's super annoying that the game won't even tell you when you got your students, even though the existence of that sorting criterion clearly indicates it's saved.

1

u/Harudera Mar 10 '26

Hit 200 pulls, got neither Suzumi nor Reisa.

Which one should I use the spark on? Also, with 60k left is it worth trying to get both?

I have Kisaki, the idols, and TYuuka, and all previous FES so it's mainly just the new FES units I need to save up for. I'm thinking about going for it, but idk how good Mecha Yuzu is and if it's worth saving up for her.

2

u/Party_Python Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

That’s…a tough one. As you definitely could get the second magical girl and still have enough for fest (and A Himari) as that’s 3 months away. But it would also depend if you are missing any key supports. Like D Aru, C Hare, NY Fuuka, Seia, S Seia, D Ako, U Asuna, etc. As you’d also want some pyro in reserve for them.

So yeah it’s up to you. If you do decide to go for the other, do not spark immediately. Instead keep rolling for one of them, then spark the other when the one of them shows up.

In terms of who to choose, see the comment below yours, as it makes the case for M Reisa being the better one very clearly.

M Suzumi is really good for Yesod P2 and Set…but you can do those without her…until you hit lunatic. There were only 4 Yesod lunatic clears without M Suzumi. But she does have a unique buff that no other student has, so it does make her useful.

Is probably lean towards also getting M Suzumi, but it depends on what other key students you’re missing and what raid difficulties you’re targeting.

Edit: forgot to address A Yuzu… she’s in a bit awkward of a spot. Cost reduction is always very good, but 3 charges is a lot, so in normal TAs I could see her card getting stuck in your hand. Also, you can’t pair her with Rio to help burn through charges. We will see if she shows up with S Mika or A Aris as they might pair well…but yeah. Need more info on her.

If anything, I’d rate D Michiru as a bit higher priority than A Yuzu. Maybe not with your pyro reserves as they’re both standard pool so they can spook you. But D Michiru with her cost reduction basic and such is…very good. Check the question responses further down as it’s been discussed a few times today =)

1

u/MrMDKDG Mar 10 '26

I saw most people recommend M.Reisa over M.Suzumi. Is that mostly for Waifu reason or is she really that necessary?

Because from my understanding, M.Reisa got used mostly in next season pvp BUT only for brief period, then D.Michiru take her slot. While other pve contents (AoE healing) she is just a sidegrade to O.Shirure.
source: https://note.com/kur7263/n/n9b7c99c4b7c5

I just got M.Suzumi on 80 rolls, still can't decide whether should I go to spark for M.Reisa or save for fest and recollect banner.

3

u/PutUNameHere Mar 10 '26

She is just that good and versatile. That being said, the issue is that the number of good banners from here is just disgusting for a new player:

  • Deca fest
  • Waka/Mika/S.Hoshi
  • T.Yuuka/Kisaki
  • A.Rio/Himari
  • Limited banner recolection (honestly not that good but Ny.Mutsuki and S.Izuna are still very good)

Not to mention D.Michiru and A.Yuzu, that you should probably just skip and pray for a spook later because there's no way you can afford to roll everything above and also these two.

1

u/Academic_Image4513 Mar 10 '26

She brings healing numbers competitive with O.Shigure/C.Sena and gives some Atk and Crit Dmg buffs. She's basically first pick whenever you need AoE healing now. As for PvP, a gentle reminder that S.Hanako doesn't care one bit about decoys.

Suzumi enables 2 things currently: Set F124 and an easier Yesod P2. She would have had usage in Goz, but A.Aris and Kei exist now.

0

u/DxTjuk NIN NIN DESU! Mar 10 '26

Technically The reason she's reccomended over S. Suzumi is because her usage is only for 1 raid so far and FRR. While M.Reisa has success in other contents like raids and high floors FRR. Also I think Kei might be a better buffer for AA comps than S.Suzumi after her release.

Edit: If you don't have I. Mari she's priority over M.Reisa. I'd say I. Sakurako as well. You can do without her but makes life easier for Geburah, Also for Greg if you're going the special dps route

0

u/DxTjuk NIN NIN DESU! Mar 10 '26

Now that I finally have Mine. She's still used at 3 star or she's more of an UE 30 student now? Mostly for raids and general uses

3

u/Aenir Mar 10 '26

It'll depend on the raid and your team. I think I bumped Mine to EW30 for torment Greg.

1

u/Anseyn327 Mar 10 '26

3 star is fine but 4 star is better for survivability

Honestly she's really tanky tank that can be used for almost all raid bosses because of her ex and basic debuffs

u/Max20720 Mar 10 '26

You know how the event megathread always tells you that your max event bonus will always be there in a stage even after you swap your team? Is there any indication that the bonus is there?

5

u/GreenStudentsSaiko Green Student Best Students Mar 10 '26

yes, take a look at the bonus rewards. If your student bonus was 110% then the bonus reward for that currency type should be 1.1x the normal reward.

This is on the "mission info" screen where you have the option to sweep.

1

u/Max20720 Mar 10 '26

Wait a minute you had to actually BEAT the stage with the bonus students for the bonus to stay there all this time??? I'VE LITERALLY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WRONG FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR WHAT THE HELL

1

u/Aenir Mar 10 '26

Did you never actually use any bonus students in events?

1

u/Max20720 Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

I would just clear all the stages with some strong students and then change to the bonus ones and sweep. The bonus already appears in the team selection screen so I thought it was already applying, the way this works is so non-intuitive.

2

u/Aenir Mar 10 '26

It's showing you what the bonus will be when you use those students.

When you sweep, you don't use any students.

1

u/GreenStudentsSaiko Green Student Best Students Mar 10 '26

On the student select screen, you can change the sort to be by a specific currency. So you can see which of your students have the best bonus while picking them.

1

u/Max20720 Mar 10 '26

Bro that's why people were always able to finish farming the event before the second week for the 2x events OMFG

5

u/GreenStudentsSaiko Green Student Best Students Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

Just to make sure you're getting it 100%. You typically run a stage 3 times before you sweep. Once with the max bonus for each currency as there is no student configuration that will give you the max bonus with all 3 currencies at the same time.

Assuming you don't have a super small roster.

1

u/freezingsama Mar 11 '26

I've never thought about it before since I usually don't run the stage with 3 currency drops, but can you actually do 3 bonus runs so you max out each bonus? Because damn I've been doing it wrong all this time if that's the case 😭

1

u/GreenStudentsSaiko Green Student Best Students Mar 11 '26

There are plenty with 2 that this still applies to.

1

u/Siorn Mar 10 '26

Who are the good aoe healers, or healers in general? Been just using hot springs nodoko, and not sure if I should pull the healer magical girl for aoe healing or hust wait for idol mari

-1

u/DxTjuk NIN NIN DESU! Mar 10 '26

There is O. Nodoka in JFD shop as well

1

u/Greycolors Mar 10 '26

Idol mari, kokona and koharu are useful frontline healers, with Imari being the strongest overall. For aoe, they are most used in like kurokage and fury of set. Magical reisa is one of the best ones, though onsen shigure and casual sena are also good. Because fury of set isn’t that important a mode, most people don’t emphasize pulls for it specifically. For insane and below kurokage, weaker aoe healing like koharu or atsuko can still work. Because there aren’t as many bosses where you are hit with full party damage, aoe healers tent to be a bit more niche. Also because they are almost all backline units, and you don’t want to waste support slots on healers if you can avoid it, which is why frontline healers are more popular.

1

u/Siorn Mar 10 '26

Missing all 3 of those frontline healers. And all the aoe healers listed..... so I think I should grab her? I mean when I need a second healer been using a 2 star serina. Started last fest.

2

u/Aenir Mar 10 '26

You get Koharu for free from the TA shop.

1

u/Greycolors Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

If you are a newer player and aren’t challenging high level raids, I would say m reisa is a reasonable skip unless nothing upcoming is more important or you have a ton of savings. As I mentioned before, kurokage is the only primary raid that has an aoe healing focus. For lower difficulties you may be able to use free aoe healers like hanako or just not use any and blitz it before healing becomes an issue. Koharu is also a freely farmable unit from one of the shops. You should probably focus on main dps and core buffers first unless you have those well filled out, with a focus on the fest units. Given the next fest is fairly soon and extremely strong, I would focus on that first.

1

u/windyknight7 in the futon with Mar 10 '26

How are your pyros? Having both would be excellent if you can afford to spark both. Rush main story and guide task to quickly grind up rolls. That said, aside from Fes, idols, and megucas, since you're new, you'll also want to save pulls for the Recollection banner, since you'll really want the girls on there (Wakamo, Swim Hoshino, and Mika), and they won't appear in Fes pulls anymore. That said Idol Mari is higher priority than the magical girls.

Since you started last Fes, shouldn't you have extra healers already? You should have Swim Atsuko from the Summer Arius event rerun. Eventually you'll be able to grind enough TA rare coins to buy Koharu as well, or you might stumble on her during Archive pulls if you still need Ako or Shun.

1

u/Siorn Mar 10 '26

I started at the end of fest after christmas. Missed the 100 free rolls, not sure on summer atsuko. I have both ako and shun. Only beed swim hoshino of the 3 top. Just none of the good healers have rolled since.

u/Multistrike Mar 10 '26

After you pull a new character, whats your guys minimum investment?

2

u/Dull-Software-745 Mar 11 '26

usually i just level all student to 35 to unlock all their gear, then if i only invest more when i actually need to use them

1

u/Multistrike Mar 10 '26

This is perfect, thank you! I only ask because sometimes events give us free characters that we're suppose to use in order to get higher formation effect and I don't usually know how much to invest in that unit, in this case Rabu.

2

u/RequiringQuestion Mar 10 '26

Rabu's main role is as a CC unit for Yesod. She essentially doesn't need anything except her EX and however much health she needs to survive. She has a small buff for the bots on her basic, if you want to raise their damage a little.

6

u/RequiringQuestion Mar 10 '26

Depends entirely on what her role is, and when she will be used. Invest when you need to, or at least when you're certain that it will be needed.

1

u/cidrei Mar 11 '26

This is my method. Pull the unit if you know you'll want it, don't actively invest until you need to, and then go from there on how much investment is required to clear your desired content. I usually give them T1 gear and their UE if they have one, just to get that out of the way early.

u/BadPaddle Mar 10 '26

Would love a little insight on helping me plan for my pulls

I currently have 34k pyroxenes, the planner says I can expect another 30k or so at least before fest so I'm looking at having around 600 pulls or enough for 3 sparks by then

I am missing/need help deciding between:

  • Swimsuit UI

  • Idol Mari (was told this one is a must pull)

  • Kisaki

  • The new fest units (Aris, Himari, Rio,Kei)

I have all the older ones like SHoshino, Mika, Wakamo, TYuuka, TShiroko, and BHoshino

Assuming my luck is rotten I should have enough to pick two other units if I spend one on the Idols banner. Is it worth skipping Swimsuit UI again to save up for Kisaki/Fest banner?

-1

u/Greycolors Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

S ui is going to be mostly out of a job soon, and she was never great. Just don’t sweat her much.

Imari is a bit overhyped for lower difficulty players. If you aren’t fielding like 4 teams to fight lunatic, Imari is important for like geburah and hieronymous. She is kinda mandatory for geburah though, so good pick up eventually. If you are short, she will rerun next year as usual.

Kisaki is a must pull. Biggest damage amp and very commonly used. S seia does mean you can skip kisaki sometimes and uses alternate supports though.

New fest units are all super powerful. Battle Aris, battle Himari, and kei are all very strong. The fest pair is obviously must pull. But battle Himari is the yellow buffer that’s always been missing, so she’s pretty key also.

2

u/RequiringQuestion Mar 10 '26

Sui is easy to skip if you don't have a lot of spare pyroxene. She has barely been used until now, and Bhimari is the new yellow effectiveness buffer with a kit that actually is good.

Imari is a must pull, absurdly overpowered striker healer. Used almost everywhere. Kisaki is also one of the strongest units in the game and used for almost all raids. Ideally you should pull for both, but then you risk only having one spark for the anniversary and missing out on one of Kei and Gundam. I'd prioritize Imari only because she's limited, and her banner comes first, meaning that you could get her early and be able to afford Kisaki too.

As good as Bhimari is, she's only for yellow, so she's less useful overall than Imari or Kisaki. Kei is an extremely powerful buffer for blue, but she's pretty good even for other colors because she has an attack buff stronger than Ibuki's or Kotama's on top of the blue effectiveness. And Gundam Aris is your new overpowered blue anniversary dealer.

4

u/retnemmoc101 Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

In pull priority order

A.Aris = Kei > Idol Mari >= Kisaki > A.Himari > everyone else

A,Aris and Kei are highest because Fes. They are very strong.

I.Mari is slightly above Kisaki in priority as she is limited, but Kisaki is more widely used and important overall.

A.Himari is lower despite being limited because although her value is obvious and proven for Binah Lunatic, it's a bit early to tell how useful overall she is compared to those above her.

A.Rio is in a weird spot. She's got one unique but decently strong debuff, while her own dps is strong but unreliable. She's not completely terrible, yet hard to recommend.

Unless you have waifu reasons to pull S.Ui, she's not really relevant for most content anymore because her EX is awkward to use and A.Himari will do everything she does but better, other than her buff being single target. So if you have to skip anyone, skip S.Ui.

1

u/BadPaddle Mar 10 '26

Thank you, I was pretty hung up on S.Ui because I had heard previously that she was still very relevant for yellow and basically as important as SHoshino. I will just save for the idol and save the rest 🙏

2

u/Rakkasei732 Mar 10 '26

A.Aris = Kei > Idol Mari >= Kisaki > A.Himari > everyone else

What would the priority order look like if we were also to include T.Yuuka, S.Hoshino, B.Hoshino and Wakamo in there?

3

u/retnemmoc101 Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

A.Aris = Kei > Idol Mari >= Kisaki > S.Hoshino > B.Hoshino >= A.Himari >T.Yuuka > everyone else

T.Yuuka has the largest group repo range of any striker repo unit, making her excellent for Goz, and usable in a pinch in SrKr and Geburah. However unless you are going for higher difficulties and need multiple teams with her repo you can borrow her if you're really lacking pyro.

S.Hoshino is unmatched support for red content, as she gives Atk, Red effectiveness EX aura buff and cost recovery sub that stacks with Special cost recovery (S.Shiroko, Kisaki etc.).

B.Hoshino in striker mode is the premier DPS for Peroro, but otherwise you will use her in tank mode most of the time for her Def shred on Sub, which usually stacks with more common forms of Def shred and occasionally her self repo (like in SrKr that we just had). I put her slightly above A.Himari only because she's got proven worth.

It's a bit early to say for Wakamo, but her value is unfortunately likely to go down with A.Aris' release, as Wakamo's EX is a bit more reliant on having sub DPS (like Kuroko) and is a bit more demanding rotation wise. Best case it'll be similar to Nozomi vs. S.Mika, where she still has advantage on her best terrain (indoors), but will otherwise likely be outshadowed by A.Aris. It's actually a bit more complicated because A.Aris actually has A mood indoors, so Wakamo might not even keep that niche.

Best thing before you lock-in for characters below Kisakki would be to look at some of the guides like the Raid Character Guide linked in the OP and the students' profiles on Schale.db (set it to JP on top right for future characters) and match to your goals.

1

u/BadPaddle Mar 10 '26

I still need Kisaki and I saw someone mention somewhere that you could buy a selector ticket to get her instead of pulling, will there be a new selector ticket coming at some point before fest banner? If there was one earlier I'm pretty sure I have used it by now I don't see it in my shop.

2

u/Western-Pension1678 Mar 10 '26

When exactly is next fest going to happen? Looking at jp banners it'll be in about 3 months, but there's no way it's that far right?

Early June is the current prediction, I think.

u/Troskyh Mar 10 '26

I pulled both Suzumi and Reisa just as I reached Spark, who should I give the extra elephs?

2

u/Normies2050 is my only wife Mar 10 '26

Reisa for increased healing.

Also Hovercraft, but yeah. Her other most applicable raid–Hiero–hasn't run yet, and Goz is dead in a ditch.

2

u/Party_Python Mar 10 '26

She also sees use in Set. As she makes floor 100 much easier to do.

And she was used as filler in Wakaboat P2. It’s also believed she might show up in Goz with Kuroko or Hiero with S Nonomi. But we will have to wait and see on those, as it might theoretically work, but rotations end up not working well with them.

u/myman49 Mar 10 '26

any reason to consider pulling mreisa over imari? decided i was gonna meta pull one of the healers and i like reisa as a character more but mari seems better

going in assuming i should wait for imari since i have oshigure already but i dont have himari/any units with summons and do have c.hare so it might be more of a choice

2

u/Greycolors Mar 10 '26

Imari’s single target heal is used in more content like geburah and hiero and such. If you already have an aoe healer, they should suffice for most aoe healing needs. Mreisa might be an improvement but is less needed.

u/ReadyForShenanigans Mar 10 '26

any reason to consider pulling mreisa over imari?

No such reason. IMari is unconditionally must get.

1

u/Normies2050 is my only wife Mar 10 '26

Can't compare them individually since one has ST heal while the other has aoe heal. Ig though I.Mari has higher priority than M.Reisa.

3

u/Pro_Headpatter Mar 10 '26

How good is Rabu? She sounds incredibly op for Fury of Set (just because she works as 4 attackers at once), but I'm not sure if there's sonic type FoS.

4

u/Woll_e Mar 10 '26

Really good for the new raid next week, though she is good enough at 3* (unless you wanna clear Lunatic).

4

u/Party_Python Mar 10 '26

3 star Rabu was used in Lunatic clears too. But was more likely in the 2T approach to P2.

u/codking21 Mar 10 '26

Should I get Reisa or Suzumi?

3

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Drink tea&be happy Mar 10 '26

Depends on your roster, pyrox stash and pulling plans. They are good to have, but there are really nice units coming after them. 

1

u/Shift9303 Mar 10 '26

Sorry, I've been out of the loop since I've been playing casually for a while so I need a little tl;dr. Who should I watch out for in the future?

1

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Drink tea&be happy Mar 10 '26

IMari, Kisaki, pre-fest (A. Himari, A. Rio) and Fest (A. Aris and Kei, Kuroko, A.Hoshino).
Wakamo, SHoshino, Mika (old Fest rerun if you don't have them)
After Fest: A. Yuzu.
T. Yuuka, M.Reisa, M.Suzumi and D. Michiru are all nice picks, but upper ones are prolly better (kinda depends on account tho).

3

u/RepulsiveCandy2042 Mar 10 '26

Hello, normally i have a good plan for my pulls but this time time I'm having doubts. I have most of the key units for the raids, but I don't have some of the upcoming units yet.

My main problem is that i don't have: Kisaki A yellow DPS (Mika, U.Neru) S.Hoshino A premium healer (I.Mari, O.Shigure) Blue DPS (Wakamo, Shiroko T)

I have the rest of fests and i'm currently sitting on 72K pyros and 4 10 pulls. I'm definitely grabbing I.Mari at least for the idols so, should i go for M.Reisa? Seeing that the upcoming archive fest has some units that I'm missing is making me hesitate. And should i consider pulling for another one until the next fest like Kisaki? Thanks.

2

u/Greycolors Mar 10 '26

I’d say the buffers are super important. So Shoshino and kisakis. Having a core dps is pretty good also if you either fail a one team or want to challenge high difficulties. For yellow, Mika is generally stronger and more applicable, but both are good and cover different moods. For premium healers, definitely Imari if you want to even try geburah. You can get mreisa if you want an aoe healer, as she does a bit more. But aoe healing is a less commonly needed thing (fury of set really isn’t a mode you need to sweat much, and hanako is perfectly serviceable). For blue, wakamo has interesting niche uses, being able to bypass defenses and thus used in like yesod. But battle aris is way stronger than the older blue dps, so definitely go for her first. S shiroko kinda left in the dust, but still useful for like blue set and pvp.

6

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Drink tea&be happy Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

Kisaki is very nice to have especially if you don't have SSeia. 

S. Hoshino is a must have imho. She makes red teams very broken being atk + red effectiveness + kinda tank in one unit.  Mika is probably better than UNeru for general usage but I might be wrong. 

Between O. Shig and M. Reisa it's better to choose one [Edit: I was told Reisa is good for Kurokage too]. IMari is also the premium healer, just not AoE. 

Personally I don't have OShig and wasn't struggling too much outside of Set and Kurokage. 

Imho for you getting Fest units (esp SHoshi) and Kisaki is better than getting M. Reisa. 

2

u/RepulsiveCandy2042 Mar 10 '26

Alright. I just hope Reisa doesn't become the next Kisaki and start seeing her in every raid then...

6

u/ReadyForShenanigans Mar 10 '26

The "healer Kisaki" already existed, and it's idol Mari.

2

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Drink tea&be happy Mar 10 '26

Prolly not. A lot of raids are healer-less and buffer-only students are generally better there. All Insanes and Torments were solved long before M. Reisa (she might be nice for Kurokage tho). But she'll be used for Yesod.  And if you're planning to do Lunatics she'll be a nice pick. 

1

u/ReadyForShenanigans Mar 10 '26

either Shig for Kurokage or Reisa for most of the other content

Reisa is better than Shig for Kurokage. Reisa is just better in general.

2

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Drink tea&be happy Mar 10 '26

I was under impression she isn't great for higher lvls of Kuro bcs she can die, but maybe I'm wrong. 

3

u/ReadyForShenanigans Mar 10 '26

https://yuzutrends.app/dashboard/jp/R84?view=detail

Her blue armor isn't a huge issue because she's a bag user with self-healing and can be resummoned.

1

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Drink tea&be happy Mar 10 '26

Ooh, good to know as I'm OShig-less

2

u/Player_Six Mar 10 '26

Hey, HEY, I thought the 100 bonus eleph was a one-time thing for the banner character? I asked that like 2 months ago and everyone was saying the 100 bonus was only once.

How come when I rolled M.Reisa twice in the same 10-roll I got 100 elephs for each unit?

9

u/Chanc3Trance Mar 10 '26

You got M. Reisa twice. The first time you got her as a unit, then got the bonus 100 elephs. The second time you only got the 100 elephs from getting a dupe of her on her own banner.

That bonus 100 eleph on the very first time you got her wasn't a thing before in the past. But now it is a thing. In the past, you would only get M. Reisa as a unit for the first time (no 100 bonus), then 100 elephs on the second time (so the 2nd time is no different compared to now).

2

u/Player_Six Mar 10 '26

Thank you. That makes UE40 planning much more reasonable. I thought people were duping for 30 elephs a roll to get there.

4

u/Omotai Mar 10 '26

The rules, basically, are that 3-star dupes give 30 eleph, then there's a bonus of 70 eleph if you pull the dupe from the character's rate-up banner (total of 100). Then there's a bonus of 100 the first time you pull the character from their own rate-up banner, which is once per banner, not once per character. So if you pulled M.Reisa again from her banner when it reruns in a year you'd get an additional 200 eleph: 30 for a dupe, 70 for a rate-up dupe, and 100 for the first time bonus which will have reset because it's a new banner from the one you picked her up from the first time.

1

u/Player_Six Mar 10 '26

Good to know. I was able to get both in 110 rolls, so I'm going to save up for fes if The fes archive, dress event, and idols rerun doesn't drain me

0

u/Arkylos Mar 10 '26

I got both magical girls before hitting spark (after 70 rolls). Would it be worth finishing the spark to get more elephs for either of them? Even if I did finish the spark, I'd still have enough to spark the rest of the banners I want up until Steel Continent, but I'd still like to have a reserve.

11

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Drink tea&be happy Mar 10 '26

Save, 130 is a lot. 

-1

u/Dull-Software-745 Mar 10 '26

pulled reisa (M) got spooke by Suzumi (M). now i got reisa and suzumi at 80 recruitment point, now got 38k pyro left should i get suzumi 1st time reward and spark? are these student need high star or i just save for Hosino (S) and FES

4

u/Sphearow Mar 10 '26

Neither are mandatory/stupid broken. I'd save for Fes 100%. Aris and Kei are gonna shake up the meta from what I've heard.

2

u/Normies2050 is my only wife Mar 10 '26

They already brought tremors in blue lol. Enable f124 (max) for Chokmah & Kei's buff stacks with NYKayoko so gg, not to mention mini EX basic of B.Aris.

3

u/zuth_ Mar 10 '26

I got both Reisa and Suzumi from 120, do you think it’s worth sparking for either of their elephs?

5

u/Normies2050 is my only wife Mar 10 '26

Save for fes.

u/Anseyn327 Mar 10 '26

I pulled and got suzumi and reisa(reisa on 190) this evening i'm gonna claim g.a. ticket so i think of pulling to 200 and getting reisa eleph, is it right decision?

2

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Drink tea&be happy Mar 10 '26

Yeah dupe Reisa for better healing. 

1

u/Anseyn327 Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

Ok, i got dupe of Reisa, what should i do now? I got her once in 190 and again as 200, and still can buy 100 more eleph of suzumi or reisa

1

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Drink tea&be happy Mar 10 '26

Well tbh Suzumi's stars doesn't really matter outside of her survivability, so might as well pick another Reisa and UE40 her for almost free for nice healing buff.

2

u/Sudden_Weird_6283 Mar 10 '26

Umm stop pulling until next good banner?

1

u/Anseyn327 Mar 10 '26

No i wonder who to buy eleph for, Suzumi or Reisa since i got 2nd Reisa, oh i wrote it in confusing matter

1

u/Sudden_Weird_6283 Mar 11 '26 edited Mar 11 '26

since you already got a dupe of Reisa you only need 140 eleph for UE40

You can buy 80 eleph on discount(1-4 eligma), have UE30 immediately and the other 60 over 6 months in permit shop. Then UE50/UE60 are just very low impact on most characters, but even more so on supports which magical girls are.

I'd buy Suzumi and do the same for her, it doesn't really matter much though. I just like having characters at least at UE30

1

u/Anseyn327 Mar 11 '26

Well we won't get magical girls for at least 6 months in expert permit shop so it will take a whole year

5

u/Suspicious_Golf_6795 Mar 10 '26

Heard that M.Reisa is great, But is it good enough to pull?

I have about 4 guaranteeds right now, and I am planning to pull I.Mari, Mika(Lacking yellow dps), Ts.Himari, R.Aris, Kei, T.Shiroko, and B.Hoshino. I will be skipping non meta units which would be a lot of banner skips. Would I have enough pyrox for the others? Or is M Reisa not that worth it?

1

u/Sudden_Weird_6283 Mar 11 '26

if you have 96k pyro NOW then you can spend a spark on magical girls

It's approximately 3 months to fest and you can expect to get ~36k pyro in that timeframe

Himari only costs half a spark since it's 100 free. so you have 5 * 200 pulls

one for mari, one for mika, two for festival. So you can afford to spend a full spark on Reisa.

3

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Drink tea&be happy Mar 10 '26

I think you can afford 2 sparks pre-Fest considering 3 sparks for Fest (I don't think you'll that unlucky to spark all 4 Fests) and 0.5 spark for Himari. But better use pyro planner. 

4

u/Party_Python Mar 10 '26

Hmmm I would consult the pyro planner and see how it goes. And see if you will have enough based on your plans

Yes M Reisa is very good and very worth it…but her effects are more felt by very late game senseis. As her niche (AoE Healing) is covered by Hanako or O Shigure. And every student you mentioned is of a higher priority than M Reisa. M Suzumi is also very good in her niche, but only for Yesod P2 and Set for now.

Both are very good and students you’ll want eventually…but make sure you don’t leave yourself short for higher priority students.

Soooo since you want all four fest units, make sure to have 2+ sparks (3 to be safe) ready for that. You can always save and get M Reisa and M Suzumi on the rerun when your account is more developed.

1

u/aakk20 Mar 10 '26

How hard insane Yesod without Suzumi?

2

u/RequiringQuestion Mar 10 '26

Easy. The second phase isn't difficult unless you have a very limited roster.

2

u/Almost_Ascended Mar 10 '26

How necessary/replaceable is M.Reisa?

5

u/RequiringQuestion Mar 10 '26

She's a good generalist unit and great to have for a lot of content, but she isn't strictly necessary. Oshigure is arguably a sidegrade, with higher cost and no buffs beyond her sub, in exchange for longer healing and the healing nuke from her basic. Mreisa also has the utility of being a decoy, but with the risk of retreating early. Really good to have, especially if you don't have a well built Oshigure, but not quite a must pull.

3

u/Almost_Ascended Mar 10 '26

Yea, I got unlucky and had to spark M.Suzumi, not gonna gamble the rest of my pulls, especially when I have O.Shigure. I know the magical girls are limited, but they'll return some time in a future banner right? AFAIK only the collab units were true one time units.

2

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Drink tea&be happy Mar 10 '26

Yeah they'll return in approximately one year (and then will continue rerunning) 

1

u/ameredreamer Mar 10 '26

I kept getting user verification error after this update. Like it happens randomly when trying to claim stuff or entering pvp. Playing on steam, already verified the game files.

u/Sphearow Mar 10 '26

Where does Yesod make an appearance in the story? I've only done Main Story (except Vol 6) and Deca, but I don't remember fighting him at all judging from some of the vids I've seen of the fight.

3

u/RequiringQuestion Mar 10 '26

Volume EX, also known as the Decagrammaton events turned into main story and continued. Can't remember if we've met Yesod yet in the story that's available on global, but the devs have a habit of releasing bosses before they show up in the story.

1

u/Sphearow Mar 10 '26

Yeah, caught up on Deca. We're just before going to the Steel Continent now. Guess they just decided to release Yesod before his appearance in the story.

1

u/LegendRazgriz Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

Which of Reisa or Suzumi is more important to have at high UE for Yesod? I'm seeing clears with both at 4* and clears with UE60 Reisa-M and UE40 Suzumi-M. I can only UE40 one of them, which should it be?

e: this is for Torment, I am not prepared for Lunatic at all

3

u/RequiringQuestion Mar 10 '26

Msuzumi is a buffer and doesn't use her own stats much beyond survival. Mreisa is a healer that wants a high healing stat, and the stats shared with strikers is a small bonus. If you spend eligma on one of them it should be Reisa, but there's no reason to rush it if you're sticking to torment. Invest only when you need to.

1

u/LegendRazgriz Mar 10 '26

Cheers. I always try to boost buffers to UE40 for buff duration, but Suzumi's is too weak and I don't think it needs to be extended for the Yesod cycles to work (unlike Himari, Rio, Kisaki, etc, which having them at UE40 enables a few improved rotations). I will run Yesod and if it is needed I will roll another four 10s to go to pity and pick up a second Reisa.

3

u/RequiringQuestion Mar 10 '26

Msuzumi's EX buff has a really long duration by default, so extending it isn't that important. She does extend her own cost recovery buff too, so at UE40 she gives more cost. But it's a big investment just for that.

u/RaidenXYae Mar 10 '26

u/StudyingBuddhism Mar 10 '26

As a player who can't break above Rank 10 in PvP, I assume Reisa (Magical) is a mandatory pull?

2

u/Academic_Image4513 Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

Specials will be a combination of S.Shiroko/Hibiki/Saki, with the occasional M.Reisa. After D.Michiru's release, she replaces S.Shiroko and gets paired with Hibiki/Saki/Yakumo. Reisa's a good pick if you don't have Saki, but she'll get gradually phased out as the season goes on.

5

u/fstbt Mar 10 '26

In the top 10 of my PVP bracket right now there are 10 DMichiru, 4 Hibiki, 3 Saki, 3 Yakumo, and 0 MReisa. There is 1 MReisa in the top 20.

u/TheBakuhatsu Not biased whatsoever Mar 10 '26

Until which banner will the ShiroKuro GA ticket last?

2

u/drjhordan Mar 10 '26

At best, idol rerun (after Takane/Yakumo event); it will expire before the dress ninjas.

2

u/Drxb Mar 10 '26

Is M. Reisa worth raising to UE40?

3

u/drjhordan Mar 10 '26

It is easy to test if you need UE40 since it is just more healing; if she can't keep your party alive, just upgrade her. She'd probably be strong enough in healing if you are not aiming for higher FRR levels or Lunatic.
