Current best overall for burst damage and Tower of Adversity. Strong Tune Rupture synergy across all team members.
Best Collab Team
Lucy Collab Core
Lucy
Rebecca (Free)
Mornye / Shorekeeper
Strong Heavy Attack Spectro team with built-in synergy. Rebecca is free from the event - claim her first before building this team.
Best Glacio Team
Glacio Focus
Hiyuki / Carlotta
Lucilla
Chisa / Shorekeeper
Excellent for Whispering Wastes and players who have invested in Glacio. Lucilla in 3.4 dramatically raises Glacio DPS ceilings.
Pull Priority
Important: Collab banner pity is separate from standard limited banners. Pity does NOT carry over between collab and regular banners. Plan accordingly.
Low (~1)
Lucy (meta + collab value, no rerun) or Lucilla if you already have Hiyuki or Carlotta. Claim free Rebecca regardless.
Medium (~2)
Lucy + Lucilla. Claim free Rebecca. This gives you a ready-made collab team and boosts your existing Glacio investment.
High
Lucy + Lucilla first, then consider Cartethyia rerun or weapon dupes only if those are your main targets. Cartethyia is lower priority than the new 3.4 units.
F2P
Claim free Rebecca. Save Astrites for Phase 2 if Lucy is not a priority. Farm events and dailies hard - estimated 96-125 free pulls in 3.4.
