Should You Pull for Lacrimosa?
Deciding whether to pull for a new Esper depends on several factors: team composition, current roster, and your pull currency reserves. Here's a quick analysis:
- Elemental Coverage: Lacrimosa is a Chaos attribute unit. Chaos elements often have unique interactions in NTE, potentially giving her an advantage against a variety of enemies.
- Role: She is a Liquid-type – a category that typically includes both DPS and support capabilities. If she fits a high-damage role, she may become a core unit for endgame content.
- F2P Consideration: For free-to-play players, it's advisable to wait until full kit evaluations and team synergies are tested. If you have a guaranteed pity saved, Lacrimosa could be a strong investment, especially if you lack a reliable Chaos attacker.
- Rerun Risk: Like most gacha, a rerun will likely occur in a few months. If you are content with your current roster and want to save for future characters, skipping is always an option.
