is my save bricked at this point

[๋]

So I've started my first account playing this game about 9 or 10 days ago. I've been having god awful luck on my pulls.

I've been trying to pull for Emerald of Genesis and Zani (yes I know its bait, i dont care). But my luck has been absolutely horrendous. I spent 80 pulls to get Emerald, 80 pulls to get Zani, LOST THE 50/50, and am currently on my way to 80 AGAIN for Zani.

I know my save probably ISN'T bricked, but still, is this a common scenario or am I just so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unlucky? My luck is actually so bad in fact, that 61 hours in and I'm still stuck with Rover, Sanhua and Verina. I can't even get past level 4 of the stable zone of TOA.

Take your time bud, we all been there. There's rerun if you really running out of time.

I'm pretty sure you not alone, it's gacha game bad luck come soon or later. Just take you time upgrade you character, 10 day is nothing tbh. TOA is end game mode you need good echo (have both crit rate/crit dmg for each echo to achie at least 60-70%cr/240-270%cd). Spectro Rover is quite good at late game when you fully upgrade, also Sanhua and Verina is SSS tier can even compare with limited character lol

I hope you didn't invest astrite into getting EoG. It's a great weapon, but you will get enough pulls on the weapon banners given enough time without having to spend.

That said, it's hard to properly 'brick' your account, but you're facing an uphill battle from here. Zani is still strong enough with SRover and Verina, but it's also a somewhat mechanically demanding team. If you happened to get Danjin from your 4* pulls she's also a pretty difficult character but a solid sub DPS for Havoc Rover, giving you at least two decent enough teams to work with.

It is considered a common scenario, because all players would have to face this bad luck odd at some point in time. My first time was 140 Pulls for Carlotta alone.

Some might face it less than other, though. If you are new, the good news is you still have a big chunk of reward to gain before the months end just by finishing the game quests, missions, events, etc.....

It is a good idea to “never” spend Astrite on anything beside limited characters banner. You should also go to the store and trade all of your Coral for extra Pulls (you gain coral when you pull, you can trade them for more pull at the store for free)

If you are close to the guarantee count but don't have enough time or tired of grinding. You can save that count for the next banner instead. The Devs already showcase their upcoming characters.

On that note, if you decide that pulling for Zani without one of her best support characters (since Ciaccona would actually work very well too alongside SRover), then the second half of the anniversary has some extremely good main DPS characters that are much easier to play and build a team for, Jinhsi and Carlotta. Both are really easy to play with a 4* character to support them, while able to deliver amazing damage output.

You get 1 standard 5 star weapon for free I believe at union level 45, you should be pulling on the newbie banner its only 40 pulls to get a 5 star to begin with, then you also get a free standard 5 star which you should pick Verina.

As for limited pulls If I was starting a new account I wouldn't be pulling for Zani until you have a lot of resources or are ready to shell money. I have Zani and Phoebe and they are both great but I wouldn't get that as a new account.

Indeed, I was smart enough to not invest any astrites into the Emerald. Luckily. I'll just continue everything else for now, save ToA for later.

Bit off-topic, but skill isn't necessarily an issue. I've always been good at this type of game and can learn rotations fairly easily. I can do the entire ToA I currently have without being hit once and having constant DPS. The problem is the tankiness of enemies. Even with my best playing, they're just too damn tanky for me to beat in time. That's why I think I should save ToA for later.

I mean you can see the levels of the enemies of each floor starting from 70 on the lowest and ending on 100 on the last floor/center tower, and ToA adds a certain multiplicative amount of HP to their overall pool as well. Since you only just started I find it hard to imagine you have a full team of level 70 or 80 resonators, much less level 90. ToA is the endgame, so you're not expected to make it very far on a fresh account.

It's pretty difficult to brick accounts, and you only just started. I know that Rover, Sanhua and Verina don't seem great, but they're actually pretty good especially for "starter" characters (assuming you used your selector on Verina). The game is meant to be clearable with the standard 4 stars and Rover, excluding end game content such as ToA and Whimpering Wastes.

Saving ToA for later is probably a good call, though I still recommend at least attempting to clear each floor, even if you only get 1 star each time. It'll still grant you *some* astrite, and it's good practice when learning the in game dodge and parry mechanics.

If you really want Zani, you still have a few days (11 to 12 from the time of posting this), but my recommendation is honestly to cut your losses and save for her rerun. May the gacha gods smile upon you for your next character!

Okay so... I switched to Havoc Rover and passed every stable zone of ToA and the first parts of experimental zone 3 stars, first try. So uh... you can dissuade my little rant now LOL

TOA is end game. u arent meant to beat it in 2 weeks unless u whale or something. Also verina and sanhua are one of the best characters in game. Verina is very meta still.
