Who to draw in Esher? The game has not yet entered the public testing phase, and many players are waiting to play directly when the public test starts. However, those who have not participated in previous tests may not be clear about the relevant plans for drawing cards, which characters are more worth prioritizing. Planning for card draws is quite important for newcomers, as it helps them better choose and plan their characters. The following guide on card drawing should be helpful for new players.
I. Gacha Pool Selection
Resources for gacha in the game are relatively easy to accumulate, especially in the early stages, where it's fairly simple to gather 300-400 draws. If you need to draw cards, without affecting your daily stamina purchases, it's recommended that you put as many resources as possible into the general pool and temporarily avoid the targeted pools (the self-selected three-color one with a 40-draw guarantee). The game's gacha pool design is quite user-friendly; there's a 25% chance of getting light or dark SSRs, and the acquisition rate of light/dark attribute SSRs is much higher than others, even for non-paying players. Some lucky players might even get 1-2 five-star light or dark characters. If you get Misaia and Miao at the beginning, you'll have no major problems with the initial stages. Therefore, Misaia and Miao are highly recommended in the general pool.
II. Targeted Pool Selection
For targeted gacha, you should choose based on your own needs. For example, if your current team lacks damage dealers, Tumi is highly recommended. She is an anomaly-type character whose normal attack deals 3 hits of 70% damage to a single enemy, with the final hit having a critical strike, and a 50% chance to push back the opponent's action progress by 10%. Her passive adds a "Blade Heart Flower" effect for 2 turns to any target that hasn't received it whenever she scores a critical hit. Her ultimate first gives all teammates a 2-turn crit rate boost, then deals 3 hits of 120% attack damage to all enemies, with a 40% chance to apply a 2-turn speed reduction upon a critical hit. With excellent crit and speed stats, she excels in PvP kill teams and in Aurora dungeons, making her versatile in various situations.
If your lineup lacks damage output or core burst support, then go for Bianting. This character has good attack power and can provide crit damage buffs, combining movement, resurrection, and attack bar increase, making her extremely functional. Her normal attack deals 200% damage to a single target and increases the action progress of the ally with the lowest progress by 10%. Her small skill allows an ally to act immediately, reduces skill cooldown, resurrects dead allies with 50% max HP, and reduces personal damage taken, making it a very crucial skill. Her ultimate also boosts the attack and crit damage of teammates, making her highly versatile.
For long-term development, Mia is the top choice. In the highest difficulty dungeons, there's an immunity mechanism, so the team desperately needs a character to dispel debuffs first. Her healing and shield abilities also help a lot during the early stages against boss pressure. Lirumoqa, the strong little girl, is also a great choice. Her skills are basically tailored for speed runs. Skill 2 stuns and breaks the highest difficulty mechanics, plus splash damage; low-HP buff from Skill 2, passive that reduces CD after killing, makes her adaptable to various different stages.
III. UP Pool Selection
Looking at the light and dark UPs, the most recommended is still Misaia, the big sword guy. He is a powerful damage dealer who ignores enemy defenses and combines single-target attacks, invincibility on kills, and other effects. His Skills 2 and 3 have only a 3-turn cooldown, making him almost flawless as a damage dealer, except for his high cost. If you have enough resources, he is the most recommended character to obtain, as he can participate in almost all battles, showcasing his versatility.
In the three-color UP pool, Freya is highly recommended. She is a pre-dispel type character, currently very effective in countering control teams in PvP, and she also provides a lifesteal buff, giving the team some sustainability. In high-difficulty dungeons, she is a stable support that is very much needed, making her well worth drawing.
The suggestions for Esher card drawing end here. This article mainly focuses on SSR characters, but in the early stages, due to limited resources and the game's mechanics, many SR characters also perform well. If you haven't drawn any SSRs, you can use these SRs as a transition.
