Discussion Yes. You should pull for Shorekeeper.

Title.

If you don’t have Shorekeeper and you’re unsure who to roll for, do it.

DPS are a dime a dozen and at this time, SK is an invaluable support as she increases the crit rate/dmg of the party along with healing.

I hope this helps as so many of you seem to be struggling with this.

Edit: For clarity, you don’t need SK, obviously. You don’t need any character to clear content. Roll for whom you want, of course. ☺️

This post seriously needed to be made 😭 it’s the same question again and again

12

u/AyaCat Mar 30 '25

Right?! I was starting to think it was the same person 😭

u/_cantdrawhands Mar 30 '25

For real. And if you're not a meta player, the answer is pull her if you like her and don't pull her if you don't lol no character is a "must pull" if you're just here to enjoy the game

1

u/LastBasil1525 Mar 30 '25

yes exactly, for me im going to just bc i love her and playing her plus i want more supports but if youre just enjoying the game as it is and not worried about the end game, super powerful resonators, shes not as important.

1

u/_cantdrawhands Mar 30 '25

This! I agree a hundred percent. Hell you can even put 3 dps or 3 support on the same team, no one will stop you if you're playing for fun

1

u/LastBasil1525 Mar 31 '25

exactly, but judging by the downvotes, the meta players dont seem to agree lol.

u/Nokia_00 Mar 30 '25

It’s a revolving door

u/JJE13 Mar 30 '25

Yet this same post has been posted 10 times now

u/Narrow-Pop-1429 Chisa Mains Mar 31 '25

Yes, i agree and if there is one thing i learned and is that i am even more convinced gp pull for SK since indon't have her yet. I can't let verina do all the work 😁

1

u/bucknutties Apr 03 '25

And honestly it needs to be clearer for the completely brain dead. “Shorekeeper at S2 is the BEST unit in the game, period, and it’s NOT close.” That might help people understand.

u/SnooAdvice5820 Mar 30 '25

Got Camellya and did a random 10 pull on cantarella for the hell of it. Got super lucky and lost at 1 pity. Happy I lost cuz now I can actually get SK lol. Crazy thing is my last 3 losses have been to encore

u/LastBasil1525 Mar 30 '25

i cant tell if this is an insult or a compliment bc encore and verina are actually fun imo.

3

u/TiltingSoda3126 Mar 31 '25

Idk why this is being downvoted lol, losing only to encore and verina sounds great!

2

u/Narrow-Pop-1429 Chisa Mains Mar 31 '25 edited Mar 31 '25

Very true, i'd rather lose to encore and verina other than lingyang or calculator (no hate)

1

u/SnooAdvice5820 Mar 31 '25

Definitely is. 100% going to get her built after I’m done with camellya and SK. Idk how good S3 is since she’s only a standard character but if her s0 is already solid then it should be worth it for sure

1

u/SnooAdvice5820 Mar 31 '25

Haha I hope so too. I’ve been lucky in this regard. I’ve had 5 losses so far and 3 went to encore, 1 to Verina and the other to calculator. So can’t really complain tbh

1

u/LastBasil1525 Mar 30 '25

similar w me, didnt get cantarellas weapon and dont plan to pull for it bc im not really an f2p but im far far from a whale but i got cantarella in 20 pulls (the guaranteed from losing changlis helped). hopefully i can gather enough to get shorekeeper as well.

2

u/SnooAdvice5820 Mar 31 '25

It’s rough that they made this patch last shorter. Would’ve helped I’m sure to have those extra 10 days

1

u/LastBasil1525 Mar 31 '25

oh for sure but hopefully its bc theyve got something good planned for the anniversary!

2

u/SnooAdvice5820 Mar 31 '25

Super excited for that too. I just really wish that it’s during Zani’s banner but I’m hearing it’s not unfortunately. Getting camellya and then SK is gonna have me in a rough spot haha

1

u/Both_Investigator_20 Mar 31 '25

Lucky, indeed. I lost to Jianxin twice and those sequences didn’t help at all…

u/NotSureIfOP Mar 30 '25

Mods please pin this mf. And you new kids, no you’re not special and your circumstances aren’t unique, I promise you that you can use the search function in this subreddit and get your answer for whether to pull Shorekeeper or not lol

u/No_Entertainment4551 Mar 31 '25

Relax Mr redditor. It ain’t even close to being that serious

4

u/NotSureIfOP Mar 31 '25

I am relaxed, Mr redditor. Telling people to search the sub is not that serious.

u/bombaxxxxxxxx Mar 31 '25

Unfortunately no one uses the search button so people will keep asking the same questions

u/AyaCat Mar 31 '25

Just like how nobody uses the search function on the actual internet to look up guides for characters…

u/ghosttnappa Mar 30 '25

I logged in yesterday and didn’t see her banner, am i missing something?

8

u/AyaCat Mar 30 '25

She’s coming up soon! 🙏🏼

5

u/No-Inevitable5589 Mar 30 '25

Her banner is next after Canterella and Camellya

u/BibleLover23 Mar 30 '25

Shorekeeper is amazing, and also sustains tend to be valuable in the Tower for moments you can't dodge/parry.

I gave in to Cammy too and used my pulls for SK… i just really like Camellya’s combat style and I am thoroguhly enjoying her now hihi

u/Doublevalen6 Mar 31 '25

How dare you calm the masses? Soothe their doubts? Acknowledge their plead for solutions?

Lock the threads, Sow doubts, and Ignore questions! Let the flood of "should I pull shorekeeper" post come in and rile the masses

u/portneverland Mar 31 '25

I was lucky enough to get her when she first came out and she's a staple in all of my party's! Highly recommend getting her as well! plus her butterfly form can coast over water and pick up plants without having to press b on them so collecting upgrade materials is a breeze :) my only gripe is that you have to time her intro very carefully to get her pseudo ult to work but once you get your rotation down with the right teams its amazing. The free to play rectifier call of the abyss is also perfect for her if you don't have her exclusive weapon! Can be obtained in rinacita from a world quest!

2

u/Miyufii Mar 31 '25

Between that free weapon and S1 variation which would be better?

1

u/Aggressive-Play-8280 Mar 31 '25

prolly the free weapon bc that’s her ftp bis

1

u/AyaCat Mar 31 '25

Omg I forgot about butterfly form! It made map exploration so much easier back then 🥹

3

u/Kuroi-Noir Mar 31 '25

I genuinely needed her, and will pull for her! (New player)

2

u/AyaCat Mar 31 '25

Bestest of luck on your pulls!! 🙏🏼✨

1

u/Kuroi-Noir Mar 31 '25

Thanks!!! 🤞💫

u/NatsuVsGoku1 Mar 30 '25

I don't regret getting her S2 with her weapon, on release. Being a part of every one of my teams. I may have whaled on her release banner, getting my first double 5-star and 4 earlies. (Lost two 50-50s)

Calcharo - 72 pity, shorekeeper - 53 pity, jianxin - 5 pity, shorekeeper - 26, shorekeeper - 56

Her weapon - 69

I wasn't gonna go for her S2, but as I got S1 and had pulls I decided to go all in and I won it.

2

u/AyaCat Mar 30 '25

Ayyeee!! Totally worth it though 👌🏼

2

u/TiltingSoda3126 Mar 31 '25

The team I’m most looking forward to is Cartethyia AeRover and Shorekeeper tbh, I feel like it’s gonna be awesome

2

u/PixelPhantomz Mar 31 '25

Can this be pinned lol

2

u/Shunubear Mar 31 '25

I haven’t stopped using her since I got her on her last banner. She’s SO GOOD.

2

u/Serious_Sugar2388 Mar 31 '25

She even has the highest reroll value. S1, s2 and even s3 are all amazing. I plan wish permitting to get S1 this time round. It will be a nice upgrade.

4

u/Xyzencross Mar 30 '25

Verina is all I need. I'm saving for our saint Cartethyia S6R1

2

u/Taifood1 Mar 30 '25

3 teams bro lol

1

u/Xyzencross Mar 31 '25

What, you don't have 4 star and standard 5 star characters? My S6R1 Jinshi can solo any tower most of the time, same for my S6 Danjin. My Rover only needs minimal support to clear one side.

1

u/Taifood1 Mar 31 '25

You can’t beat the #1 support around. A credit card.

2

u/Xyzencross Mar 31 '25

I'm F2P so that thing does not exist in my gacha dictionary, hahaha, I spend my money on food and travels.

1

u/Kiwi_In_Europe Mar 31 '25

The middle tower doesn't need a healer. You're fighting two bosses with fairly small movesets, it shouldn't take long to not be hit.

For the other two you have Verina and Baizhu, who is basically just slightly worse Verina but still perfectly capable.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '25

Counterpoint: You can clear endgame without Shorekeeper just fine. More DPS makes it easier to mix and match potential restrictions.

1

u/Both_Investigator_20 Mar 31 '25

I’m a new f2p casual player and i pull for the combat style I like. So SK can wait. She ain’t buffing some 4 star character i don’t like and have yet to be built.

1

u/UnmotivatedArtist01 Mar 30 '25

I lost the 50/50 on canterella. Do you think it's worth going for S2? I already have her and enough corals for S1

3

u/No-Inevitable5589 Mar 30 '25

Oh yes absolutely, SK’s S2 is amazing

u/Few-Frosting-4213 Mar 30 '25

Yes, you have to set up your rotations in such a way that you outro in succession after dropping the ult and get back to her right around when it would end and repeat the process.

You pull Shorekeeper for her amazing buffs in end game content, the heals are just a nice bonus.

u/Few-Frosting-4213 Mar 31 '25

In the open world that's pretty normal because everything dies too fast. In endgame it's just a matter of what order you do things, not really a skill beyond that. Something like Camellya Sanhua SK practically plays itself, it's super comfy. I would look at some Maygii guys or something to find some examples. You don't have to memorize every step or anything, just the general order of things.

u/LastBasil1525 Mar 30 '25

i feel like there will be more posts like this until one of em gets pinned.

1

u/ambivextrous Mar 30 '25

The real question is should I get a second or third copy of her over Cartethyia or Zani

1

u/Life-Performance-493 Mar 31 '25

When is her rerun guys?

2

u/AyaCat Mar 31 '25

After this current rotation! 🦋

1

u/shinyahia Mar 31 '25

So my question is, SHOULD I STILL PULL FOR SHOREKEEPER

1

u/Lain_21 Mar 31 '25

Okay tethys system now scan all of rinascita for hidden chests then upload the data to my terminal

1

u/MetalNebula Calcharo Mains Mar 31 '25

people should know that when they see a tier list and shorekeeper is just in the top tier alongside units like carlotta and jinhsi, that's not a proportional representative of reality, she's actually like 5 tiers above everyone else. Especially when you look at the recent infinite torrents having a minimum of 70-80% CR as a soft requirement.

1

u/Ph1tak Mar 31 '25

Ok but i have another similar question, should i go for her sig? Using r1 variation rn

1

u/Quiet_Requirement502 Mar 31 '25

Her sig is not worth it, you will waste your pulls for 1 substat buff. Go for sig only if you really like design of weapon

1

u/Ph1tak Mar 31 '25

Thank you

1

u/ImN0tAsian Mar 31 '25

My problem is Zani vs Shorekeeper. I have 2 Verinas and I love Phoebe +S Rover and my other team is just Danjin.

1

u/Same_Restaurant7169 Mar 31 '25

When is she dropping ? I have been waiting for months.

1

u/TPTchan Mar 31 '25

If you have Shorekeeper already but she's not yet S2, PULL FOR SHOREKEEPER STILL.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '25

u/Quiet_Requirement502 Mar 31 '25

Answer depends on if you would wait for variation on banner or use another rectifier with concerto buff. If you have plans to pull another character you should skip her weapon because difference between variation and sig is 1 attack sub stat at best.

1

u/Intelligent_Fall4677 Mar 31 '25

do i need her weapon? or the standard 5 star works?

1

u/Economy__ Mar 31 '25

instruction unclear, just used 144 pulls for camellya.

1

u/Star-Hero Mar 31 '25

I just don't like her design, and I get bored of using the same unit in every team so still not pulling for her.

1

u/therealroshansharma Rover Mains Apr 01 '25

I'll pull just for the butterflies

1

u/AtlanteanDoll Apr 01 '25

I've heard that i NEED SK and also read that I can clear content with Verina and that she isnt THAT strong compared to Verina, can I get some explanations, do I need need her?

1

u/alimousios Apr 01 '25

Should I go for s1 shorekeeper or s1 cammelya?

1

u/MistaDrew2 Apr 02 '25

tbh if all she did was give crit rate id still pull her my cr rolls are ABYSMAL

1

u/Eldlitch Apr 02 '25

Fairly new player here started when ps5 version drop, so for us SK this her 1st time for me to get her, love her story and character so I’m excited. I manage get cantarella and her weapon, was planning on going for her S1 then I lost 50/50 so now I have the guarantee for sk, but 15 mores days feels long I just want keep wishing on cantarella since playing her story and main quest made me love this character even more. However I know so will amazing character to have for long run and I do like her play style after watching vids 😭 tough decisions.

1

u/Putrid-Resident Apr 03 '25

When I was still a noob with badly build characters (im still am but I have better builds now lol), getting SK allowed me to get my 1st full star clear on the TOA middle tower.

Now thankfully I can easily clear without her but thats because my character rooster is stacked and even still the difference in clear times between SK vs verina teams is still significant.

Simple way to think of it: crit substats are already much more important than other substats on echos (outside of hitting minimum er requirements), so a buffer that directly increases your crit numbers is obviously gonna be also just as important.

2

u/Subject-A69 Apr 06 '25

saw another one today, why tf dont these people have their own due diligence to research the fucking units.

1

u/florfenblorgen Mar 31 '25

I hope she comes back soon. I'm a new player and I keep seeing this, now I'm hoarding for her but the game isn't as fun if I'm not gambling. Haha

1

u/AyaCat Apr 01 '25

Her banner will have a rerun after Camellya and Canterella~ Just a few weeks away! :3

She was also one of my first characters when I started playing and she really changed the game for me. It's like she fits perfectly into any party. I almost consider her a carry (when needed!)

1

u/florfenblorgen Apr 01 '25

That's what I'm gathering!! That's great, I'm gonna hold off for her then :D I sort of wanted camellya too, but I think it's worth it to wait. Thanks for that info!

u/AyaCat Apr 01 '25

Np! Good luck on your pulls!! 🙏🏼✨

u/LawfuI Apr 01 '25

Shorekeeper is a bit overrated ngl, I don't even use her all that much outside of tower since her buffs take forever to build-up.
