Planning Your Pulls

Tips for F2P and Light Spenders

1. If you’re targeting a specific 5★ character, make sure you have enough pulls saved up for the pity system.
2. Consider the 4★ characters on each banner – getting constellations for useful 4★ units can significantly improve your account.
3. Phase 1 offers a new character (Rappa) plus a strong DPS rerun, while Phase 2 features two rerun characters

• Pull for a character’s signature Light Cone only if you’re committed to using that character long-term.
• The new 4★ Light Cone Dream’s Montage in Phase 1 could be worth picking up if you use Abundance path characters.

What’s Coming Next to HSR in 2.7?

According to the game files, Version 2.7 will introduce two new characters:

• Sunday
• Fugue

Consider saving some pulls if these upcoming characters interest you more than the current offerings.

Version 2.6 offers a good mix of new content and returning favorites. Whether you’re pulling for the new ninja Rappa or waiting for powerful reruns like Acheron, carefully plan your pulls and consider your team’s needs. Remember that all banners run for exactly 21 days, so you have plenty of time to make your decision.
