Should You Pull: Miyo, Fuyu, and Satsuki?
- Miyo and Fuyu are event-boosted units, offering specialized synergies and reward rates for the event. Optimal for players aiming to maximize event currency.
- F2P/Low-Spend Recommendations: Prioritize only if you need more event farmers or specific synergies, as reruns and future banners may offer greater meta value. Always consider your available Pyroxene and upcoming banners.
- Satsuki’s rerun is a strong catch-up for players who missed her first appearance, but review your account’s needs before investing.
