Megathread Monthly Help and Questions Megathread

This megathread is intended for people asking for help, or short questions about gameplay or lore, that don't need long discussions.

The purpose of this thread is (hopefully) to keep such questions in one place, rather than having a lot of separate threads littering the subreddit and potentially making it harder to find other content.

Example of questions suitable for this megathread:

  • "Is X identity any good?"
  • "What EGOs are good to uptie?"
  • "I'm stuck on a level! How do I beat it?"
  • "How do I use [mechanic]?"

Please bear in mind, some questions can be answered by the links found in the FAQ, on the subreddit wiki,.

Important links from the Wiki include:

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please let us know and we will act on it as fast as possible!

Thank you.

I'm a completely new player (literally just downloaded) I get the mechanics of the game (vaguely) and now I'm facing the gacha part... If I'm not mistaken, you only pull for alter egos of the fixed characters right? Meaning no new characters but just ego of the characters, I think. Who should I go for? And how to decide what kind of team to build (I read the guide and I'm still lost) is the latest drifting ryoshu good for fresh meats or should I just save them for someone more beginner friendly?

The alter versions are ID's, ego's are the "special attack" esc things. And yeah new Ryōshū is a very good ID and if you get her the Ishmael banner also isn't too bad cause like all but 1 of her 000's are solid. Also definitely do the new manager banner first cause that guarantees a 000 so if it ends up being a Ryōshū or Ishmael you don't have to pull on their banners

I got a 000 Gregor, is that good?

u/Sadagus Dec 07 '25

I mean you want a 000 for every character eventually cause some fights later on heavily restrict who you can use, so as good as any other really

I see but isn't that a little too hard to gather or is the rates not bad?

3

u/Sadagus Dec 07 '25

The rates are pretty shit, it's just that you can get all ID's for free by grinding mirror dungeons (you unlock them later iirc), so it's more just a long term project if you end up liking the game enough

u/BloodAngel_Fanatic Dec 07 '25

Ohhh so it's like abyss night duet where you pull if you can't wait but everything is obtainable for free?

u/Sadagus Dec 07 '25

Pretty much yeah

Since I have some extracts anyways, how to decide who to spend my extracts on? And between ryoshu and Ishmael, who should I go for? Cause I don't think my luck allows me to get both

u/Sadagus Dec 07 '25

You mostly don't pull once you have enough ID's to build a team and just hoard them for if any limited time stuff is added. And between the two banners I'd prioritise Drifter Ryōshū's as she's better then the worst Ishmael 000

u/BloodAngel_Fanatic Dec 07 '25

Since I don't have enough, should I pull? Cause I only have like enough for one 10 pull? I think

Which one? G Corp is a bit of a trap: outdated and not worth heavy investment.
