With limited S-Rank units and unique W-Engines on the line, this update is a test of strategy and resource management heading into the closing weeks of the year.

Note: As per official materials, none of these S-Rank Agents or W-Engines will move to the permanent Star-Studded Cast Stable Channel after the event cycle ends.
Banner Mechanics & Pity
- Exclusive Channel pity accumulates across all Exclusive banners, but remains separate from other connections.
- W-Engine Channel pity is similarly cumulative within that channel type alone.
- Guaranteed counts for featured S-Ranks do not affect, nor are affected by, standard or non-limited Signal Search banners.
Should You Pull?
F2P & Low-Spend Advice
- Prioritize limited S-Rank Agents (Yidhari, Ju Fufu) if you lack meta-relevant Ice or Fire support.
- Both Exclusive and W-Engine banners have high-impact synergy gains, but the overlap means careful signal management is essential.
- Kraken's Cradle and Roaring Fur-nace are considered optimal fits for their associated S-Rank units. Their power spike is significant enough to consider splitting resources—but only if your core team is already stable.
- If you are close to pity and have signals banked, assess your current roster gaps.
Optimal Pulling Scenarios
| Goal | Pull Choice | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Building Rupture/Ice comp | Yidhari (Alone/Shared) | Unique Ice DPS, limited-time only |
| Enhancing Fire/Stun meta | Ju Fufu (Fu-rocious) | S-tier Fire stun, team flexibility |
| Engine power-up for meta DPS | Kraken's Cradle/Roaring Fur-nace | Exclusive stat boost |
Overlap Note
If you are interested in both Pan Yinhu and Pulchra (A-Rank supports), their increased rates on multiple banners may help maximize value for non-whale players. Expect stronger team flexibility if you can obtain even a single copy of each.
Teams & Synergy Commentary
- Yidhari will excel as a main Ice DPS in Rupture lineups, likely partnering best with control or shield-based supports. Her synergy with Kraken's Cradle is theorized (based on prior meta performances) to increase both elemental output and survivability. Not stated in official materials: Yidhari's ascension materials or team composition best practices.
- Ju Fufu shines in Fire/Stun teams where fast rotation and crowd control are necessary. Roaring Fur-nace further empowers her, potentially re-defining Fire team comp viability for several months post-banner.
- A-Rank Pan Yinhu and Pulchra return to rotational focus, functioning as versatile plug-and-play options for several compositions in both PvE and (where applicable) PvP scenarios.

Banner Timetable Reminder:
– All banners and event trials begin and end synchronously on the above dates, with no stated phase splitting or rolling schedule.
Pre-Patch Checklist
- Stockpile Signal Search currency through daily/weekly missions and shop refreshes.
- Complete prior event content as the coming patch does not retroactively unlock old event rewards.
- Plan roster upgrades—use the trial event to evaluate Yidhari and Ju Fufu before committing to pulls.
Day-1 Priorities
- Enter the Event interface and run all four agent trials for easy rewards and firsthand gameplay impressions.
- Check your current pity counts for both Exclusive and W-Engine channels
- Track currency expenditure closely, as no S-Rank rerun schedule is confirmed in official materials.
Unconfirmed — subject to change
- No rumors, speculation, or unofficial schedules are included in this coverage. All details are directly sourced from official Hoyoverse materials as of the patch announcement.
Takeaways & What’s Next
November’s Signal Search lineup represents a concentrated burst of meta-defining content, with limited S-Rank units unlikely to return soon. Both new and veteran players will need to weigh progression against the draw of exclusive characters and gear, particularly in a gacha economy with strict currency gating.
Players are encouraged to trial every featured agent, maximize event rewards, and monitor EarlyGG for any emerging updates or in-depth guides—especially as more teams and strategies evolve around the new banners.
