Pilots!

Today we've got another edition of Should You Pull, brought to you by Scubasage on our discord server at https://discord.gg/JTsv8gX. Check out my assessment of this week's banner below!

Hello everyone, Scubasage here! I'll be taking over for AetherRose for the time being. I'm very excited to get the opportunity to discuss gacha parts, something I try to avoid doing in my event reviews.

Last week we got 1150 Haro Chips, and here’s how:

150 - Login Bonus

350 - Daily Achievements

150 - Event Login

330 - Mission Completion

170 - Arena Participation

Let’s set up some ground rules so you know exactly what to expect and how you should be treating this!

This is entirely my opinion, but I will do my best to justify my opinion and explain to you why I feel a certain way. If at all possible, I’ll use real numbers as well and present an objective outlook before my opinion.

Do not pull on the banner hoping for a single Part. It’s 0.2% for a single Part, which is 50x 10-pulls or 500 pulls. In terms of real money, that’s 5,400 USD.

SS is considered meta defining, S is meta, A is great, B is average, C is below average, D is considered well below average, and F is awful. Parts are compared to all other Parts as a whole and on how well they synergize with other Parts. This means a 4* and a 3* would be compared to everything as low as a 1* to as high as other 4*s.

There are some notations which aren’t immediately obvious:

An EX Skill with D/B at 21/6 CD means it has a D in Piercing, B in Power, a 21 second cooldown, and it’s available for use 6 seconds after the match starts.

All stats are at Max Value, but all EX Skills and Part Traits will be considered at Level 1 (One).

With all of that out of the way, let’s get right into the new banner and what we’re looking at this week!

This week is a Sokai banner, which means it will not be going to Standard Gunpla Parts Capsule when the week is up. Finally, I will not be factoring Marks into the review, as the system is brand new and needs more research done into it.

Banner Grade: B+-

Summary: This banner has a 1.4% (4.988%) chance of drawing something above average, and a 0.8% (2.494%) chance of drawing something of great value or higher.

I wanted to love this banner. Unfortunately, I can't. The standout parts are really just there for raw numbers and the numbers that are there don't blow me away. The Sazabi Arms are basically the best part of the banner and while they could be amazing in the new Arena, we won't know for sure yet how reliably we can activate their trait. Even if they do turn out to be meta defining, unless you are a whale, you should not pull on banners for a single part. EDIT: Didn't notice the Sazabi Beam Saber and Knight Lance since they weren't in the featured scroll. The Beam Saber is the best part of the banner, but even with it's addition I probably still wouldn't pull.

I would skip.
