We all play gacha games for one reason. We can equivocate about gameplay and lore all we like, but there’s only one thing that actually cracks wallets open.

Waifus. Husbandos. Waifbandos.



So those of us at MGNN are making a list of the best waifus across a few gacha games. And these lists are most definitely objective and have no connection with the author’s personal biases at all.

So let’s go!

10. Quetzalcoatl

Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent. Goddess of Venus, notable warrior, and lucha fangirl. Quetz brings the refinement of an onee-san type with the high energy of a tomboy, and it’s a perfect combo. Her innocent love for luchadore wrestling, contrasted so sharply with the wisdom and experience of a deity, makes for an interesting personality.

Beyond that, she’s one of the few goddesses in Fate who genuinely care for humanity and you, the last Master. She will be loyal to you while simultaneously guiding you down a righteous path, and you will never be lead astray by her.

9. Meltlilith

Meltilith, the Alter Ego of love and hate. How do you say no to a woman who broke time itself because she loved you? Melt dances elegantly on a digital sea, and her feelings are expressed through the deadly beauty of her movements.

She worries she will hurt us, as she does not know how to express love properly, and so ineffectually tries to push us away. Yet that only strengthens our resolve to truly know her.

8. Astolfo

Astolfo, 12th Paladin of Charlemagne. You might think he’s an odd entry on a waifu list, or that I did it for the meme, but I’m serious. The community might have reduced him to a trap joke, but there’s more to Astolfo than that.

His cute looks are a definite plus, but beyond that, you have a good, supportive friend who will encourage you to stand up for what you believe in, and will throw himself into danger for your sake. He has a genuine, selfless kindness few possess, and is far wiser than his Evaporation of Sanity gives him credit for.

So hug your Astolfo today.

7. Boudica

Boudica, Queen of the Saxons. She’s been by your side ever since Septem, and has consistently been a source of support. She even put aside her grudge against Emperor Nero for your sake.

Acting as a doting older sister, she eventually freely admits she loves you. And on top of that, she’s confirmed to be a good cook. Bonuses, right? Get on her chariot and under her protection, and you have the warm comfort of home and hearth.

6. Suzuka Gozen

Suzuka Gozen. A miko who wants to be a JK. A bright and cheerful personality, with a carefree style of speaking, that belies the wisdom of a priestess who can view infinite worlds. Suzuka may initially have been cold, but as she warms up to you you find a girl with quite a few subtleties to her.

Beneath the JK exterior lies a woman afraid she’s just wasting her time, and concerned she may not find someone to love. Someone with a deep love of humans, yet with a compulsion to destroy them. Will you be the one she’s looking for?

5. Jing Ke

Jing Ke, the assassin who failed to kill Qin Shi Huang Di. The game sadly barely utilizes her, yet the little there is shows a rich personality with more than meets the eye.

Jing takes a philosophical approach to love, knowing that eventually your time together will end. And thus, that time should be filled with happy, meaningful memories. And so, under the moonlight, with a cup of warm sake, enjoy the company of this night-blooming jasmine.

4. Mysterious Heroine XX

Artoria Pendragon Mysterious Heroine XX is here to solve all your eldritch entity problems! After she gets some food. Since she’s broke. And hungry. And stressed from the paperwork. She needs a drink.

The juxtaposition of sci-fi traveler from another dimension with a harangued office lady creates a unique gap moe that is very hard to resist. You just want to buy her a drink and offer a shoulder as she complains about how her job sucks. Who can’t relate to that?

3. Hassan of Serenity

Hassan of Serenity is a tragic case. A body covered in poison, unable to touch another human being, or any living thing, for anything. Until you came along. The first person, and as far as she knew, the only person, who could touch her and not die.

The effect of that kind of loneliness on a person is harsh. Even if you’re not interested romantically, you will still feel a need to protect. Hold your Serenity close, because no one deserves to be completely, hopelessly alone.

2. Ereshkigal

Ereshikagal, Queen of Kur, Sumerian goddess of death. Shy, awkward, and adorable. We are the first real friend she’s ever made, and it is implied we are the first to ever see her as simply Ereshkigal, with no burden of her divinity attached.

Ereshkigal’s tender affections, barely hidden by a front of a frosty, uncaring goddess, extends to all in her domain. She does have a few self-esteem issues, and it is up to you to help her through them.

1. Miyamoto Musashi

This is perfection made into a person. A beautiful face. A charming voice. A fascinating personality. A sexy body. Capable in combat. Loyal. Friendly. Quirky.

Miyamoto Musashi is perfection. She is the best. No other waifu compares.

One of the most reliable allies you have, pulling you out of the fire multiple times when you needed it most. She’s always happy to see you, and freely admits you’re special to her.

Tengen’s Chrysanthemum is the pinnacle of waifudom, a star that other girls can only aspire to, for they will never reach her.

So grab a bowl of udon, and enjoy your time with this dimension-hopping samurai.
