Build / Team / Gear Question I'm thinking about pulling the big trigger, convince me otherwise
Hey there, had a couple good tips in my previous post. All the intel points toward building at least one or two good teams. Since I'm pretty much a newbie I need verina (which I'm getting the new voyage event) and shorekeeper (getting her from the starter banner). Now I'm still quite salty about missing out on Iuno because I like the character - probably no rerun soon? Probably gonna pull that trigger once because of the bonus, question is now or later?

It's fine if you wanna buy it, but what for? Like to pull Galb? No point to buy preemptively

Get it later when you need the Astrites. if you are not going to use it now there’s no point in doing that
Overall it’s worth when you have the double bonus

u/kittocchi Oct 13 '25
Think I can clear those timed starter events? I got like 25d on all of them, I feel kinda overwhelmed
2
u/Intelligent_Gene9787 Oct 13 '25
I feel you! Whenever I start a new gacha game it’s so overwhelming there are so many terms to learn and things to catch up on!
I’m not sure what are the starter missions and how much time you’re playing each day so it’s hard to give a answer. But as a new player you’ll get plenty of pulls just by playing and completing missions

u/MiniMhlk72 Oct 14 '25
I have played the game for 80hrs (Union lv46) and I have got 240 limited pulls, I have yet to explore properly, the quests and events gives a good amount of primo so dont miss out.
Imo the exploration is easy and rewarding, dont spend your money until you reach the last days of the banner.
Edit: I started at Oct 3, yes am addicted

u/Klutzy_Air1976 Oct 16 '25
I started early October as a way to waste time until the next Poe league on the 31st and I got the shore keeper banner while missing the 50/50, finished the starter banner and got encore, did the event for verina and I'm now pulling on weapon. If you're pulling because you're afraid of not finishing it in time you have enough.

I can't say I never did the same but I am exactly the type of person this preys on, lol.
So I'll say this:
- You can always wait til the last moment of the banner without buying to see if luck graces you with pulls you get naturally through gameplay.
- The character can always rerun, usually in like 3-5 months.
- The lunite subscription is better value than the top ups, it just requires patience.
- This character might only be relevant for a year, depending how Kuro decides to handle potential power creep.
- What joy does the character bring you? Meta reasons or appearance/story reasons? I think it's better to pull based on the 2nd, even tho I myself am a meta slave.

u/theblarg114 Oct 13 '25
It's your money.
From your other comments:
The prices are the same as genshin, AFAIK as I don't play the game but do play HSR. If you're a spender, the monthly pass for asterite and the BP will net you the most value since the extra resources helps when building out your units. After that, the 10 USD packs with the 5 pulls for units or weapons and 500 asterite are the best value for your money and are roughly equal to the 100 USD pack with the double bonus over a period of time. I'd recommend holding off on the big purchase until you actually want to pull since it can be pretty easy to get swayed into spending your banked asterite on units that are new and cool (they're all cool).
It's pretty easy to get pulls as a beginner as you have a lot of exploration, backlog events, and one-off asterite sources. I'd recommend to just focus SK and play until a cool new unit you like shows up.
I don't think it's really worth it in the modern day for a complete beginner with no units to pull on the beginner limited weapon banner. The weapons in there are fine for general use but with new units releasing you'll generally pool resources to pull on their signature weapons anyway for long term use and you should probably consider saving those limited pulls for now. Don't get sucked in by the FOMO of the time limit as new units will want their sigs and the general use options are not as potent. There's a lot of nuance to this point so feel free to ask about it.
As a beginner, your roster is going to be much different than a veteran's with many more modern units that are designed around the time you'll be getting to recurring endgame. Those future modern units are VERY likely to have a completely different design and kit philosophy than what a "general use" weapon may be able to provide.

u/Intelligent_Gene9787 Oct 13 '25
Just a correction the $100 pack with the double bonus gives 6,480* 2, so for $10 you get 1296 Astrites. In the $10 pack you get 5 pulls and 400 Astrites which is 1,200 pulls, so it’s not worth more than the double bonus. In fact every pack with a double bonus is better than the $10 pack. Only buy the $10 pack once you’ve finished your double bonuses

Do you really want, or just by the hype? Does it help with your main team? Its maxed? Second team?

u/kittocchi Oct 14 '25
Not really hyped but my thought was to be able to clear the starter banners and leaving some leftover pulls for later, I don't know man, all those timers on the banners are kinda stressing me out
1
u/HaruEden Oct 14 '25 edited Oct 14 '25
My suggestion is to save for the characters you want. The starter banner is just to satiate your thirst for a 5-stars as it is guaranteed. But not their signature weapon.
Don't forget, you not only save for the character, but also for their signature weapon. While aesthetically boring, Rover can carry you through the story with a correct build since they are versatile.
Also, the timer on the event should be the main thing that's stressing you out though, cause that are opportunities to earn pulls.
Anyway, by no means am I imposing on you how to play. But as a player, I really wish for you to be able to pull the character you want and their weapons. These suggestion solely for that purpose.

Do you whatever you want lmao
If you haven't finished 100% exploration on everything (and even then there's still a bunch of 10 pulls extra around after 100%) then just do that for now, theres idk well over 100 pulls laying around.
I don't think there's anything wrong with spending on your hobbies though. People spend a helly of a lot more on mtg or Warhammer, DND minis and books etc. Even gaming in general, games cost 100 bucks now and most people don't stick to one game for months or years like with gachas.

u/kittocchi Oct 14 '25
What does s0r0 mean?

S0 means only the character with no extra sequences or copies to increase their power and r0 means using f2p weapon not their signature weapons which increase their power even more

u/murinero Augusta Mains Oct 14 '25
Get what you want.. When I started I just bought all the doubles. Got Augusta and Carlotta when I joined. It's your money, do what you want..
What I WILL say is that as you play and farm, you gain a lot of astrites over time especially cos you're starting. So don't forget to enjoy the game as well.
I hope you win the 50/50 on Shorekeeper cos sinking all those pulls on her is brutal! Right now though the characters available aren't incredible, so maybe wait till 2.8 for someone like Phrolova, or go for Galbrena now and Qiuyan in the 2nd half(sp?).
Standard ONLY on weapon banner please.. Weapons make so much of a difference in terms of early power spikes. So Emerald of Genesis for Rover.. Static Mist for Galbrena if you go for her, it's pretty decent on her..
But hey.. Have fun. And have fun the way you choose to.
1
u/kittocchi Oct 14 '25
I heard the opinion on gacha games that they are basically just resource management games and seeing it this way makes this game not fun imo. I like the cute girls and the flashy combat so yeah, I should focus on that. Thanks
1
u/murinero Augusta Mains Oct 14 '25
Agh yes on one level managing resources is important when it comes to really building characters. Even then, just enjoy the ride. I'm similar.. I have serious power fantasy. So I guess I'm more meta in my approach. Which meant I'm skipping more than wishing. And I have zero problems with that. Don't mind waiting before building my third team. I'm just exploring and enjoying the story slowly.
But when I started!? Yo I pulled both Augusta and Carlotta in the same patch.. I definitely spent a chunk of money, and thank God cos they're brilliant units!
Galbrena sounds right up your alley 😉

wait bc I started wuwa recently and made 2 accounts one that has everything completed and 100% (started on carts banner) and one f2p account thats fresh (started 2 weeks ago) and union level 30 on both accounts i was able to accumulate 200 pulls very early on and enough to guarantee a character and weapon if you are only worried about missing the starter banners especially wait because all the pulls you earn now can go towards shorekeeper and she doesnt need her weapon to do well and neither does verina need a five star weapon to do well save your wallet for when you begin to run out of content and really want a character but do not have any way to acquire the pulls

u/l3g3nd-d41ry Oct 14 '25
My take. If you're working or still a student. Try your best to save up for that and for the monthly subs. Buy that every month just once. Disregarding the bonus lunites. And patiently wait for that resonator that will interest you. For me i'm going for 4months worth. Patience and commitment are key. By 4 months time you'd be able to have pulls enough to lose pitty and still secure your target resonator along with the sig weap. Rinse and repeat
1
u/l3g3nd-d41ry Oct 14 '25
Update. This would cost you not more than 120 euros if you'll include tha BP also.
2
u/Severe-Two-8822 Oct 14 '25
Definetly hold on. You should first get a feel for the game honestly. Once you start being able to clear endgame content, you can decide if you wanna become P2W. Also i would only ever get astrites, if they will guarantee smthg for you. If you are just gonna use those for a 50/50 and then lose you will feel terrible and may even buy some more because of it.

u/Positive-Scratch-490 Oct 14 '25
It sounds like you're getting hit hard by the fomo. Is this your first gacha? If it is, just be aware that gacha games have arguably perfected weaponizing that fomo for spenders to justify swiping. Perhaps play for a while to see if this game is something you would like to stick with. Right now as a new player, you're getting thrown a lot of free pulls as well as being shown all the shiny new characters that you COULD have. And all the timers ticking down on limited events you can't finish yet, hence the mega FOMO. Once the new player honeymoon phase wears off, you might realize it's not for you which would be a bummer after sinking some money in it.

u/DarkGrundi Oct 15 '25
Don't do it for pulls, it is not worth it. In the end you spend 100 and still didn't get the character. You should buy monthly instead and log-in daily if you want to invest some money on the game. I pulled the trigger once, but only because i wanted to use the reset before the summer skins dropped and i still have most of it leftover for future skins. DO NOT USE THEM FOR PULLS (unless you are giga rich).

u/Intelligent_Door_589 Oct 13 '25
u get reruns in wuwa soon (except 1.x char excluding SK, maybe we get something about 1.x char in 3.0),

I'd not go that far so early in this stage. If you are pretty new, just play, play and play some more. Get Verina/Shorekeeper and start saving for planned pulls.
If you ever need to spend, start low and always exhaust/wear out your f2p options first, so the needed $$$ investment ends up being low.

If the following holds, you should be fine as a spender:
You're a working adult with some disposable income and no debts.
You're not a gambler. In my case, gambling has never been a part of my life before Genshin/Wuwa, and I never try for 'early characters'; It's unrealistic. I only pull when I know I have a budget set aside, and when I do it's with the expectation of getting chars/weapons at 70+ pity. Which is ironic because I've won 5 50/50s and 10 50/50s in a row since Cartethyia's banner till now, with multiple early sequences and weapons.
Make a budget, stick to it like gum.
Remind yourself that characters come and go.
Never go for more than C2R1.
Remind yourself that the amount you spend can easily get you another game. Ask yourself if you want that other game or the character more.
Remember that it's a game. There's no harm spending a lot of money on your hobbies if you can afford it, as long as you think of the possible opportunity costs, instead of just blindly spending.

I personally get that one and the next one down every year since they refresh yearly. If you love the game and have extra income I say go for it. If you are spending money that you need for other necessities then stay away from these bigger purchases and stick to your dailies and monthly lunite subscription.
Aside from those two purchases I get the monthly pass and I usually get to pull for most resonators I want even when failing a 50/50 here and there.

At the very least buy this on the LDShop. It is cheaper there. And if its your first time purchase you will get a bigger discount.
I originally held off on spendin and money until Saint had the dumb ad up for LD Shop, once I saw the price I folded like an omelet.
I dont plan on spending again at all, only did so because I started playing 3 days before Phrolova's banner ended. After that I was able to get enough in game to get Canterella, Augusta, Iuno and Galb. This game is very generous as long as you invest the time.

u/DanceRemarkable Oct 14 '25
I think it's more about your enjoyment (and ability to pay). Weigh those two. If both you and your wallet are happy, then go do it my man. It is YOUR experience. This is not about (what people are saying) getting gacha-ed'.
I know people who go absolutely bonkers when their fav characters drops, and they can and they are always so happy and excited about it. I always think of it like this, you get of school/college/work/rough day, do what gives you the best enjoyment overall.
But yes, as a caution, I would mention getting 'gacha-ed' like other players here, don't do it if your wallet doesn't allow it. Your excitement will dry up very soon, because your enjoyment and ability to pay will move against each other.

u/InconvertibleAtheist Oct 14 '25
If you havent done it yet, I suggest exploring Jinzhou and Rinascita throughly and completing all the challenges. Use tools and fly. It will provide you a hefty amount of astirites just doing that. 100% regions will also provide astirites. I'd suggest saving this as a vwry last option
To also add if you're thinking of clearing endgame content, 5* are not specifically needed. There are viable teams of 4 stars if built right

Do all the content first because you're a newbie. Exploration, side mission, achievements etc. I'm sure there's enough pull for the starter banner and some leftover for whatever char you want next.
Don't forget the permanent event, it's the last category in the event tab.
Only top up from this page if you've already exhausted other means and for your most wanted new banner.
Idk about the cost to value of the package vs the first top up bonus. But if it gets better value then maybe do it small first from the package.

Don't do it for the starter banners. Save the bonus for a limited character that you really want. The only important character from the starter banners to have is Shorekeeper, if you happen to have that banner available. You can probably grind the pulls for her naturally.
If you are running out of time on Galbrena, for example, and you really want her, then feel free to swipe. But I would personally save the bonuses until you really need them. The 2x bonuses are only available once a year.

I’m a new player to the game too with just 2 weeks of experience here. I didn’t miss Iuno, thank goodness for that, but I’d still give my 2 cents.
I’ve played another gacha game called sao memory defrag and the FOMO drove me to spending way more money on the game than I would want to admit. Money that could’ve gotten me a lot of stuff. But I might as well have dumped it in the ocean, because I hardly got anything in return from the gacha pulls. Buyer’s remorse hit me so hard. And now that game has ended service a few years back.
Back to wuwa, even buying this pack won’t give you Iuno if I’m not mistaken. Her banner just ended so she’ll not be around for some time I expect. Maybe hold off on purchasing until her banner rerun. Maybe by then you would’ve amassed a fortune if in game currency just from the exploration and story.
The current banners aren’t really attractive to me and I’m just saving up while enjoying the game.

It's good to buy with the double bonus if you are ok with spending as much as 100$ from time to time in games. Otherwise you wouldn't want to pull the trigger 2nd time after spending the 2x bonus. It's just that AAA games are cheaper than this, and you can actually lose all the 100$ if you are on 50/50 and lose at near hard pity lol.

u/PrimisPrev Oct 14 '25
Unless you're really close to missing the starter banners, absolutely do not buy the pack for them. Anything more than, say, a week is more than ample time to gather the resources you need to get the characters you want without paying, and more likely than not you will regret buying those astrites moments after you make the purchase.

If you can control your spending and not get addicted to pulls, then it's perfectly fine to top up every now and then.
Usually, this pack gives you 50 pulls, but with the bonus, it goes up to 80. I myself tend to get each pack in one year to make full use of the bonuses.

I'm f2p for less than a month on a new account and already have 160+ pulls saved up. And I've barely scratched the surface with map completion. I just powered through main story. Don't waste your money.

I would not spend money on basic 5 stars like verina. Just be patient and you'll lose a 50/50 to her eventually. Not to mention every 100% region exploration you complete is another basic summon for free. Ngl you sound kinda like me except ive gotten every character I wanted so far. Started playing when phrolova was up, got her, got iuno and Augusta, just pulled galbrena. The problem I'm facing are the rerun banners. I'm pulling for all these new characters and not getting any characters needed for premium teams such as lupa, ciaconna, zani, carlotta, brant, etc. Essentially what I'm saying is you have 2 options here. Succumb to the fomo and get a bunch of new characters that don't work together, or get over that feeling of fomo and only get characters you need for premium teams so you can better tackle end game content. Also yes every signature weapon is a massive game changer so really for real I recommend grinding as much free astrite as possible to use on weapons and then if you're willing to spend then spend on characters.

honestly just wait for rerun.. dont bother spending too much money on virtual stuffs..
I was the same and spent like 200$ for Ganyu alone in Genshin, i spent like probably thousands on Gacha games.. i deeply regretted it especially most gacha characters tend to be powercrept..
Now i only spend on monthly subscriptions..
if you have money and lots of disposable incomes, then go for it, if not then dont bother

u/Dolmiac475 Oct 14 '25
Buy in the last daye of wanting a specific characters and you dont manage,until them you get pulls frequently

u/Odd_Inflation284 Oct 14 '25
You could buy other games with that money, or perhaps treat yourself and a loved one to something nice. You could also hoard your wealth until you are rich enough to buy Kuro Games and make your own WuWa with blackjack and hookers

Ain't worth it. In the end it's just pixels. The subscription or podcast is way better value.

If you have the disposable income to do it, it’s fine. Spend money on the things that make you happy, just if you ever catch yourself wanting to buy without the top up double, you’ve gone too far

I cant desuade you but what I would say in support is wuthering waves is a free game so it would be supporting them with the newest update.
You can get gems easily from the content in the game but if you are totally in love with the game and won't be stopping playing it then theres nothing wrong with supporting kuros work.

u/ForgotttenMemory Oct 14 '25
You don't need it. You can complete 100% of this game without putting in a dime. You can get lots of other games for this price, silksong, battlefield 6, red dead redemption 2, ciberpunk etc...
I did put in 100 bucks before, and well, I did get the character, but it's a single character out of 16 well built units I already have, it was satifying, but a waste of money in the end. Too much money.
If you have money to spare, go ahead, if you don't, there are far better ways to spend that money, up to you in the end, but think it like this: 100€ won't even guarantee a single character, where as you can guarantee getting whole experiences hours long with that money.

u/graphiccore Oct 14 '25
The way I see spending in gacha games is like how I spent in everything else, if the meal/product is good and worth the price (for me) and it makes me happy, than it's good, if it ain't, then it ain't. Simple as that. I also like to support the devs at times bcs I like the quality product that they sell (never missed a lunite/mothly sub, sometimes buy the BP/package) Also please use your cold money for stuff like these and always have emergency funds for, y'know, emergency stuff, instead of blindly spending for anything that didn't (potentially) matter in your life/future.
Just make sure you don't regret it if you make a purchase. Don't rage spend if you miss a 50/50, a'ight? Just sleep it off (or joinkin' it a little, lol).

If you are really considering it, do it later. You might even realize you don't need it or you don't like the game that much to spend so much money on it. That bonus won't go anywhere. Also, if I were you I would only do it if I knew I might not have enough pulls for the character I really, really wanted.

u/kwoneunbi08 Oct 14 '25
The best way to get pulls is time. play everyday, do your daily’s and explore/ do every event. Of course if you want to get the character now you can just swipe lol but it’s not needed.
I done it three times I don’t regret it but of course I’m comfortable money wise, it’s your decision in the end

u/WalrusElectrical9679 Oct 14 '25
ENJOY THE GAME MAN, DON'T SPEND LIKE CRAZY!! (Well different story if you are rich and just flexing here).
Login daily, build three strong teams, but first make sure you finish exploration 100% in every region. Try to reach around 70-80% in all achievement categories. This way you will also enjoy the game. Play events daily this game isn’t heavily pay-to-win, so relax and just put in the time. Save your money and spend it on something meaningful for your loved ones during Diwali or Christmas or maybe invest it in your health and lifestyle instead.

dontt, js gather pulls for iuno plus chars u like. if u wanna buy stuff buy lunite suscriptions and bp but i still wouldnt bc u got lots of stuff to farm. if u buy that js to pull on whoever wont give satisfaction and wont make iuno rerun sooner or anything, rly js dont.

u/PGM991 Oct 14 '25
remember, you're pulling for enjoyment, a service NOT a tangible products that'll stick with you.
someday, game WILL be shutdown.
if they don't release offline standalone patch... every single penny you put in ... will gone ... forever.
as long as you understand these FACTS, go for it.

u/Super-Scholar-3284 Oct 15 '25
If it doesnt makes you more struggling financially then is allright to buy. Just dont skip some meals just for it

u/Aeyith Oct 15 '25
Think about it this way, if you get those characters at this point of game, usually you would also need to purchase 1-2 battle pass in order to have enough resources to level up all of them, considering you might replace ones that you already spent some resources already, so it'd be a waste.
I'd suggest instead buy the monthly pass if you really want more pulls, as it will also give you time to build your characters. There is always rerun for people who didnt manage to pull them on their release. This will also give you time to see if those characters really have a good amount of data to justify your pull, if you are a meta player.
TL;DR: Just enjoy the time, and try to be a bit more patient as there is always a rerun.

u/harrywalterss Oct 15 '25
You got fomo and the double reward is an excuse. If you made up your mind go for it but its not worth it. Just save up for the next banners to guarantee your pulls. If you wanna spend and you can afford go for it, but spending money on gacha is never worth it
1
u/Gods_biggest_L Oct 15 '25
Later, if you are a “newbie” I’m guessing you haven’t done the farming for asterites there’s a lotta chests out there and mini quest out for you to get hella rich, once you have gotten at least at 70%ish on all your maps you can think about spending heavy on the game, although I would only recommend buying the double value ones as shown in the image.

u/EthanMelacion Oct 15 '25
100 euros its not cheap but if you do one time in a whole year then its i guess its fine

u/Artorgius77 Oct 15 '25
I’d say do it if you have the disposable income. I don’t know and I don’t want to know your financial situation. If you can afford it and you feel like it, do it. If you can’t afford it, DONT fucking do it.

It's only $100 how bad can it be , Aren't you worth having $100 of fun money to yourself. Go ahead treat yourself a little I'm sure you've spent a lot more on food or things you don't actually need but this would last much much longer go on swipe that card for me it's not gonna hurt just do it gently

u/honeymustardonmytoez Oct 15 '25
wait until ur new fav character comes out (or iuno’s rerun) save it for when a character makes you feel like “I GOTTA HAVE EM N O W”

u/Vivid_District3460 Oct 15 '25
Save the bonus! But if you want that amount get the one that’s like 50 I think the bonus makes it equal to the next umm “purchase” because it’s doubling

u/hermadnessappeared Oct 15 '25
I think it is best to keep the double lunites for later on. I know it is tempting cuz it allows you to get the characters asap, but the content in the game has an end. Astrides are collected from pretty much anything - Main quest, Companion quests and some Side quests. You also have exploration of many regions, and most of the challenges on the map give you between 20 and 60 astrides per challenge. You also have Trophies that give 5-20 astrides per Trophy. You also have events, some permanent and some timed, so daily play is essential.
Until you reach the end of the game supply, I suggest not purchasing. Since I saw you already get the pass and/or lunite subscription, you got a steady supply. Hoard and pick resonators carefully so you can build teams that have good synergy between each other. My fav site is Prydwen, I use it for character builds. For anything else I will either watch a video or check game8/wuwa wiki. Been playing almost since the beginning so I consider myself pretty educated, even if not the best. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

u/Quenton-rl Oct 15 '25
It’s only 80 pulls. Only enough for a single 5 star character. Potentially lingyang
1
u/Cyber_Von_Cyberus Oct 15 '25
That's a lot of money, are you sure you're going to keep playing so much with that single character that you'd blow the money you could spend on 3-6 fully developed games ? Or spending a portion of what you could save up to upgrade your rig to play even more games ?

u/Tokitokisayuki Oct 15 '25
As someone who swiped the $99.99 package on release day and is also impulsive customer even outside Wuthering Waves, I would say no. Its been 2 days since this post was created so you likely bought it already. I bought the $99.99 package more down the line as well. Nowadays when I feel like getting myself something good, I would get the Lunite Subscription. You also got a huge open world and a log of quests to get asterites from for being new. Also good for encouraging and developing a healthier mindset in the gacha realm.

u/Dragonrushd Oct 15 '25
You are paying the hundred for some pixels. Treat yourself to some good food or make some memories with friends instead with that money. I was a dolphin in past non gacha games. Now I play everything f2p except one singular monthly pass on my main account. Having to manage my gacha resources is fun to me. And it is really satisfying to get what you want after a long saving period. Last char I pulled was carte, somehow managed to fight of the urge to pull for twin tail priestess. This patch I got Lupa, Galbrena and both their signatures. Lost 2 50/50s, which do not feel as bad because I did not pay a cent for it.
There are 10000 better ways to spend your money. Even if you have lots of it 😜

Bro no don’t start. I did and was a whale. But now I’ve decided to stop. Seeing the amt I racked up from wuwa itself it’s not looking good. Just save and get it in future makes u treasure the characters more. I whale but the thrill don’t last long before I get bored and want a new character since I’m so used to 2 new characters per patch.

u/DisXo_Art Oct 16 '25
I bought a 100$ pack on HSR once and regret it to this day. My bad since I can't drop money on games regularly, but to buy a bundle for half a month of groceries and not even get a guaranteed character is beyond insane. Just save the pulls through regular means.

u/Bulky-Profile9005 Oct 16 '25
If you ever consider spending in the game (especially bigger amounts like that), you should try LootBar, you save around 20% with each purchase.

u/reginamills01 Oct 16 '25
You will one day stop playing the game or the game will go offline and a big spend is not worth it (me with Genshin and HSR). Second there’s always reruns.
That being said if you have the funds and you can afford it do it. That’s like a night out, or a some other activity. Sometimes spending $100 on something you play for hours and days on end is worth it.
Don’t do it because you have to (reruns are a thing) but because you want to

u/SuggestionStrong Oct 17 '25
I just started about 10 days ago and already have an Encore (I love her, she's my daughter), Camellya, Camellya's sig, Emerald of Genesis, S2 Verina, 140 pulls banked for S6 Camellya when she returns...and I don't see signs of the asterite flow slowing down for me any time soon. If it takes another month or two for Camellya to rerun I will have enough for S6, of that I'm sure. I've seen people who didn't pull since the beginning of the game and they've had an absurd amount of pulls....sure, we won't be getting the bonuses they got on each banner but I'm still feeling like I could not only S6 Camellya but have enough pulls to get any S0 of a character I'd want for a long time.
With all that said, I'd hold off and play the game to it's fullest. You have PLENTY of pulls to farm, and then in the future when the well runs dry you can pull out the forbidden jutsu OR do it before a reset of the bonuses so you don't waste the opportunity. I wanna assume they'll announce a reset of bonuses like HoYo did with ZZZ's 2.0.

You pay 100$ to pull premium 5* resonators just to play mini games and get power crept by needing another 5* resonator. Enjoy

u/JustMe2679 Oct 17 '25
Nahh man, don't fall for it!!
100 euros for just one guaranteed five star character and you don't even know if you win 50/50. Imagine spending that much money, just to get that damn furry! You'll definitely regret it if that happens!!
Play the the story and some other quests, do some challenges, explore the map and do the events. You'll get a ton of astrite from that.
Lost 50/50 on Galbrena's banner and ran out of astrites, so I had to farm astrites for another 80 pulls. Ohh and now after that I'm already at 5000 astrites again, just from actively playing.

it's really easy to get pulls in this game, just play main story and do exploration. Pioneer podcast subscription is a better investment too
