Decision Guide: Pull or Save?

Pull if…

• You want a new roster option and Lily fits your account.
• You missed Sigrika or Qiuyuan and want another chance.
• You are targeting Hiyuki or Suisui in Phase 2 and can wait.

Skip if…

• You are saving for a future version and none of these names are priorities.
• You already own the rerun characters and do not need duplicates.

Save for…

• Phase 2 if Yangyang Xuanling, Suisui, or Hiyuki is your main target. Splitting pulls across both phases is the usual risk.

Who Benefits Most

New players get a clear debut in Lily plus familiar reruns to round out a roster. Midgame players can fill gaps with Sigrika or Qiuyuan in Phase 1, then reassess for Phase 2. Low-spend players should pick one phase and commit rather than spreading Astrite. Collectors have six featured names across the version, which is a lot to track.
