In the game of Ither, the unique card-drawing mechanism provides players with a very generous opportunity for resource accumulation. In the early stages, it is easy to accumulate 300 to 400 draws. Based on this advantage, players need to know how to draw the cards they want. Here, we strongly recommend that players, when planning their drawing strategy, follow one principle: under the premise of not affecting the daily purchase of stamina, pour most of the drawing resources into the general pool.
For beginners who want to have useful characters for pioneering, it is suggested to temporarily avoid the targeted pool, which allows self-selection of three colors and guarantees a SSR character in 40 draws. The drop rate of SSR light and dark characters in Ither is as high as one quarter, far exceeding other similar games. This means that even zero-spending players, with a bit of luck, have the chance to get 1 to 2 powerful light and dark five-star characters. If you are lucky enough to draw top-tier light and dark characters like Mithyria and Miao, your early pioneering journey will be much easier. For players who intend to self-roll initial accounts, these two characters are the top choices, especially Miao, whose effect is particularly good during the pioneering phase.
After completing about 400 draws, the basic framework of your team should be roughly formed. At this point, it is wise to turn to the targeted pool to complete the roster based on the actual needs of the team. If you find that your team lacks output capabilities, Tumi is an ideal addition. It's worth noting that Tumi's skill mechanism heavily relies on crit attributes; her follow-up attack effects and push-bar ability after marking are closely related to crit. Therefore, when equipping her, priority should be given to ensuring that the right three pieces of equipment provide sufficient crit rate, ideally reaching 70%, as Tumi comes with a 30% crit buff. Additionally, speed is also a key attribute for enhancing her combat effectiveness. Tumi's best scenarios include PvP point-kill teams and Auroras dungeons, where efficient burst damage is required.
Another character worth focusing on is Pianting. She integrates various powerful effects such as attack boost, crit damage increase, teammate reactivation, resurrection, and normal attack speed up. To fully utilize her support potential, priority should be given to stacking speed attributes, and she should be equipped with gear like Black Flag or Unrestrained Science. Coupled with other pull-bar support characters, such as Qianming, this can quickly create opportunities for the main damage dealer to act twice in a short time, achieving explosive output.
For long-term planners, Mia is an excellent choice, especially when challenging the highest difficulty attack gear dungeon. Due to the unique immunity mechanism of this dungeon, the team must have a character that can dispel first. Mia perfectly meets this requirement, and her healing and shield skills can effectively alleviate the pressure from bosses during the pioneering stage. It's important to note that Mia's healing amount is tied to her own maximum HP, which contrasts sharply with Lingluo, given away in the seven-day event, whose healing effect is based on the target's maximum HP. Therefore, when cultivating Mia, in addition to speed (especially maintaining the fastest speed in the highest difficulty Binghuo dungeon), it's also necessary to appropriately increase her HP and effect hit rate to ensure the success of dispelling.
Mia's main active scenes include the reconstruction of the Binghuo dungeon, especially at the highest difficulty, and other high-quality-demanding stages such as the Association's anchor survey task. Additionally, there is a cute companion, Lilumo, who can accompany you in speed dungeons for a long time. Her skill set seems tailor-made for speed dungeons. Her third skill not only causes stun effects to break high-difficulty mechanisms but also has splash damage. Her second skill is a range attack with low-HP damage increase, and her passive skill reduces cooldown time after killing enemies, making her very suitable for stages with multiple monsters. In terms of attribute distribution, it is recommended to give her a certain base speed, at least 50, because the small monsters in high-difficulty PvE usually move quickly. After that, focus on increasing the three-dimensional attributes related to output.
When it comes to the choice of UP pools, the first recommendation is naturally the light and dark swordsman Mithyria. As an excellent damage dealer, he possesses powerful abilities such as ignoring defense, single-target execution, and entering an invincible state after a kill, with his second and third skills having a cooldown of only 3 turns. There are almost no obvious weaknesses, except that the acquisition cost is relatively high, requiring 30,000 diamonds to guarantee a draw. However, for players with economic strength, this is definitely a worthwhile investment, as it is currently unclear when the pool will reopen after it closes. Mithyria is suitable for almost all battle scenarios and is a true all-around warrior.
Next is Freya from the three-color UP pool. With her noble pre-dispel ability, she has become a key counterforce against PvP control teams in the current version. At the same time, her vampiric buff provides stable sustain for the team, securing her a stable support position in high-difficulty dungeons. Therefore, Freya is also a very worthwhile character to acquire. In terms of attribute cultivation, it is recommended to focus on speed and survivability to ensure that she can both timely cast skills and maintain good survival on the battlefield. Whether participating in PvP counter teams or tackling high-difficulty PvE content, Freya can play a significant role.
For choosing pioneering characters in Ither, you can select based on your favorite roles. In fact, besides these characters, as long as you have sufficient combat power during the pioneering phase, you can also clear stages well. It all depends on how you use the characters. If you find pioneering difficult, it is still recommended to prioritize using the above-mentioned characters.
