Best Wish To Pull - Tips
Pull Beginner's Wish First
The Beginner's Wish is guaranteed to include ★4 Noelle on the 1st 10-wish roll and ★4 or higher character on the 2nd 10-wish roll. The chance of getting a super rare character is much higher than other banners so you should definitively choose this banner first.
Pull Weapon Gacha If You Have Enough Characters
If you already own enough strong characters, going for the weapon gacha like Epitome Invocation is also recommended. A ★5 weapon is guaranteed at least once per 80 attempts. Since the stats of ★5 weapons are much higher than ★4, going for this banner is a good bet if you want to focus on increasing your damage.
