Should You Pull for Mist and Aquila?
Pull Mist to Strengthen Death/Tank Teams

Mist is a status ailment specialist who attacks with Fear and Death. She is a must-pull for anyone who wants to use a Death team. She is also recommended for Tank teams as a counter-measure in Tank vs Tank matches.
Mist - Rating & SkillsAim for at Least Transcendence 2
At Transcendence 2, Mist can apply Damage Immunity to himself, and at Transcendence 6, the target of Skill 1 increases from 3 enemies to all enemies. Without Damage Immunity, Mist is vulnerable, so aim for at least Transcendence 2.
Aquila is Recommended for Building a Death Team

Aquila's durability and support capabilities have been improved through balance adjustments. She now possesses a passive that increases Death probability, making her a recommended pull alongside Mist to complete a Death team.
Tips! | Mist is the higher priority if your goal is strengthening a Death team, so pull for Aquila only if you have resources left after getting Mist. |

Transcendence 6 is Ideal for PvP
At Transcendence 2, she gains Damage Resistance, and at Transcendence 6, she can apply Link to all allies, significantly boosting the team's durability. While she can be used at 0 Transcendence for applying Death, Transcendence 6 is ideal for high-level PvP.
How Good is Nezha?
A Great Choice for Castle Rush and Advent Expedition

Released at the same time, Nezha is a Magic-type attacker and supporter specialized for 3-target attacks. She is a hero you will definitely want to use for Mon-Wed and Shadow Yeonhee , where 3-target magic attacks are highly effective.
Nezha - Rating & SkillsObtainable via Guild Tokens

Nezha can be exchanged for 16,000 Guild Tokens. While the cost is high, she is an excellent hero for improving your PvE scores, so it is recommended to prioritize exchanging for her until at least Transcendence 6.

Mist's Impact on the Meta
Death Teams Gain a Massive Boost
Mist is a status ailment hero who can apply Fear and Death. The ability to apply unremovable Death while an enemy is under Fear is incredibly powerful. Se is a top-priority hero for Death teams, leading to a significant power increase for the entire archetype.
Counter-Measure for Tank Mirror Matches
Battles between Tank teams often relied heavily on luck specifically, who could cast Pallanus's skills last. Mist’s arrival is likely to shift this, as Effect Hit Rate and Effect Resistance will become even more critical in these matchups.
Will Physical Teams Still Dominate?
The clear counter to Mist is Randgrid. While Mist is strong, the meta currently features many Physical teams, and this dominance is likely to remain stable even with Mist's arrival.
Increased Need for Death Immunity in Guild War
With the number of legendary heroes who can apply Death increasing to five, using Death teams twice in offensive Guild War rotations is now a viable option. It is becoming increasingly important for defensive Tank teams to include heroes like Elysia or Amelia for Death immunity.
Aquila's Impact on the Meta
Possibility of Increased Death Teams
Aquila synergizes perfectly with the new hero Mist. Since they are featured together in the pickup summon, we may see a rise in Death teams, which were previously rare in the current environment.
Potential Replacement for Knox in Guild War
In Guild War, "Death Pallanus" teams consisting of Pallanus, Rosie, and Knox have been popular. Aquila has the potential to replace Knox in this specific formation to provide better durability support.
Nezha's Impact on the Meta
Score Improvements in Castle Rush and Advent Expedition
Nezha is an excellent 3-target magic attacker and supporter. She contributes to higher scores and stable clears in Mon-Wed Castle Rush and Shadow Yeonhee Advent Expedition.

Mist Team Setup and Alternatives
Recommended for Death or Tank Teams
As a Death specialist, Mist is best paired with other heroes who have Death effects, such as Kris, Rosie, Knox, and Aquila. Additionally, because she is a Universal-type, she can be placed in a Tank team alongside Randgrid.
Alternative Hero is Kris
The main alternative is Kris, who also specializes in Death. However, Mist’s combination of Fear and unremovable Death is unique; rather than replacing Kris, she is a hero you would want to use alongside him.
Aquila Team Setup and Alternatives
Strong Synergy with Death Heroes and Pallanus
Like Mist, Aquila is a Death hero and should be paired with others in that category. It is also an option to pair her with Pallanus to fulfill her specific Defense-type formation requirements.
Role is Similar to Rosie
Aquila can apply Death and provide durability support, making her role similar to Rosie, who offers Death and ally revival. Rather than choosing one over the other, it is often best to use them together in a high-durability formation.
