FAQ
Q: I have 2 Mythic DPS (Sukuna + Gojo). Who to max first? A: Sukuna — higher raw DPS, easier playstyle. Gojo second for support build.
Q: Can I use a unit without its BiS trait?
A: Yes — Divine (Legendary) is 85% as good as Requiem (Mythic). Don’t delay leveling for perfect trait.
Q: Are limited/event units better? A: Sometimes (Killua for Sea King), but standard meta units (Sukuna/Gojo/Natsu/Elizabeth/Levi) are always available and always good.
Q: How many units should I max? A: 4-6 units maxed covers all content: Main DPS, Sub DPS, Healer, Tank, Farmer, Flex. Rest are luxury.
Q: What if I never pull a Mythic? A: Levi + Elizabeth + Escanor + Todoroki + Zenitsu + Merlin (all Legendary) clear 100% of content. Mythics = faster clears, not required.
Q: Should I evolve my Legendary units? A: Only Main DPS + Healer + Tank. Evolution cost (5M gold + 100 crystals) is high. Sub units work fine at Legendary.
Q: How do I get Elizabeth if I’m unlucky? A: Legendary Banner pity = 90 pulls (90k gems). Save gems, hit pity. Worth every gem.
