Lifewonders proving, once again, that they know their audience pretty well.

Also gently reminding us that this is a game that is better enjoyed out of the public view.

Before we take a peek ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) at what this gacha has to offer, I’m going to point out that all 5 of the limited units share a default skill, and it’s a pretty reliable one – Ardour to allies is a solid offensive buff, and pulling enemies towards your frontline is usually handy.

Most of Amatsumara’s value is going to stem from his default and LB2 skills – Brawn and Ardour together are probably enough offensive buffs for most situations.

On the other side of things, Concentration and Barrage are almost enough for him to be a damage-dealing unit by himself – with his charge skill granting Weakness (and then dealing additional damage on top of that), I can definitely see running him in that role. If you are going to do this, I’d try to find him another offensive buff, since the damage on the magic attack type is relatively low (and you’re not likely to have his CS levelled enough to count).

Gaining a large CP boost at the start of the fight is handy. In this case, it’s actually preferable that he doesn’t start out with 100% – you’re going to want to attack with him ASAP to trigger Brawn for your allies.

I’m not a huge fan of When Leaving effects (why are you planning to lose a unit), but Def Up and Nullify Debuff are both decent panic button effects in a pinch.

The suit pin has convinced me that glasses+suit is the best skin for him.

Concentration and Glint? Off the same skill?

When you want to completely ruin a particular front-line enemy’s day, Suzuka is your gal.

Oppression and Break will lock the opponent down, Evasion (at 40%, thanks to Concentration and Glint), will let her outlast the opponent, and if that fails, she has a 30% chance to straight up Charm the enemy.

She’s a good deal less effective if you take too long on a phase – losing 20% of skill activation chance hurts – but that just gives her a chance to sit in the back and charge CP for the next phase.

Horizontal mobility is also great to have on at least one unit, and resistance to Bind comes in handy quite frequently.

Suit skin > swimsuit skin. Suits: 2; Swimsuits: 0.

As seems to be tradition, the second instance of a new mechanic is a significant improvement on the first.

That said, I think Tsathoggua’s event variant is the least beginner-friendly unit we’ve seen to date – he effectively can’t do anything until at least LB2 (and even at LB3 he’s heavily reliant on teammates to do the bulk of the offensive lifting).

What he can do, though, is tank. Charm, Tenacity, Regen, and the HP gain from his LB1 all let him sit and soak up punishment from the enemy team. His charge skill plays into this pretty well – Attention means the enemy will be attacking him, rather than your teammates. He also has an absurd amount of HP, which will obviously help.

He can also expect to get his charge skill off every 3 turns, which is pretty good timing.

Though the neck fuzz in his suit skin is amazing, his swimsuit skin wins this one.

Wow.

Ok, flippancy aside, both Wakan Tanka and Zabaniyya are very good units.

Wakan Tanka will do absurd amounts of damage, while giving Protection to your team and being almost impossible to debuff. He also gives your whole team a pretty large CP buff with his charge skill. He also does all this without needing to move.

Zabaniyya, on the other hand, slots right into the top of the available defensive supports (i.e. Snow, Aizen, Surtr) with the classic Protection+Heal combo. He also will likely take less damage than the others in his class – there still aren’t a ton of world-attribute enemies floating around – and still do decent damage, thanks to Atk Up and Stigma.

If I had to pick one, I’d say Wakan Tanka is more overtly powerful, but both are easily at the top of the power level in this game right now.

I’m torn between Wakan Tanka’s skins. Zabaniyya it’s glasses+suit, hands down.

I struggled a bit in whether to recommend this gacha or not – the 5★ in it are so strong that they overshadow the 4★ ones by a large margin – but ultimately I think any of the units here are worth developing. I’m personally keen to see what shenanigans I can get up to with Tsathoggua.

Good luck to those rolling!
