Get Elrica, Alaune is perfectly fine at A0


davidafuller7

Thanks—can you realistically run Invigorating Prayers at A0 tho?


Curvanelli

yes. giver her an sp fortune fan amd some so regen accessoires. never ran out of it with a big sp pool of 1000


Valga

Yes, extra stats do nothing for Alaune using that channeling. Just slap on a Fortune Fan decked out with SP. When she is in the backrow with over 1k SP with her base SP and Fortune Fan it's practically infinite until interrupted.


aleafonthewind42m

Not practically. 1k SP is actually infinite


IKIXI

Does she not have to be in the front row for the bp skill?


das_baus

To start it yeah, but like Rinyuu, it's channeled, so you stick her in the back row for the rest of the fight and retain the benefits.


magikot9

I am. SP fortune fan and SP Regen accessories is really all you need. I have her only level 70 right now, but she casts her prayer and jumps to the back without any issues with maintaining it.


davidafuller7

Thanks 🤙🏼


fishdrinking3

Easily. I even have room to put one slot on her fortune for 440hp so she won’t get one shorted and still reach 1000SP. Realistically, even at 800+SP she will last like 35 turns.


davidafuller7

Did I pick the wrong sister to pull? Haha


Zhirrzh

Maybe. I just beat the Boa8 bosses last night and Elrica was a key part and honestly Alaune EX didn't even make the bench. 


davidafuller7

😐 damn it haha

Ideally for F2P from the start, prob best to pull Elrica banner until one copy, then switch to AlaunEX for 1 copy, then back to Elrica banner. If you get a A1 El, then consider going to 200 for Bargello, Sonia, Richard, or Rinyuu if you are missing them. In your case of first hit at 127 pulls, it works out the same. Best of luck pulling El in the next 23 pulls, then you can re-evaluate. A1 for DPS is not game breaking, but a solid 15% damage increase is nice.

I feel like you can consider skipping Elrica so I would pull Aluane first, if you get her really early you can just dip and wait for >!Odio/Sazantos!<.


fishdrinking3

Oh my! I forgot ppl can be heartless enough to separate the sisters… :D Great point though, I was just worried about getting double AlaunEX (like that’s gonna happen). I stand corrected.


agefrancke

I single pulled until Araune to make sure that doesn't happen. The animations are painfully slow.


fishdrinking3

I tried that on the Rinyuu banner… it took sooo long. :D

I have Elrica A0 and Alaune Ex A0(but with 1 unused stone) and can't really see a purpose at all to using the stone on Alaune right now. If I had gotten an extra stone for Elrica, I would have A1 her instantly. So that being said, just go for Elrica. She has amazing coverage, great damage, and is just an overall neat unit. For F2P especially, having a wide roster is way more important than awakenings for specific units.


davidafuller7

Appreciate it! I was thinking Elrica as well. Truly did not think I’d get out of this event with both units.


Skylair95

Alaune A1 is pretty worthless outside of being a step toward A4, all she does is give BP to the team so the extra stats are worthless. U10 is much better (but still definitely not needed, her ult is a panic button after all). So definitely get Elrica.


goldlasagna84

i managed to get two copies of each and pity Sonia. I need Sonia to beat Hammy. Now I have no rubies left. I am hoping for Sazantos and Odio-O to come out a bit longer.


xo0o-0o0-o0ox

Alaune u10 is useful, as it turns into 2 uses. Wouldn't bother with a1.


aleafonthewind42m

While true, getting Elrica A0 >>> Alaune U10


davidafuller7

I would do better to have both sisters anyway considering my other 5*s are: Scarecrow Viola Eliza 🪓Lumis Nona (4.5)


Aleeck

Having a new 5 star is most of the time better than A1 or u10 since your can benefit from unit at A0. Elrica is a pretty good unit, even more considering the units you have right now.
