Smart Pull Planning
- Missed Mortenax Blade before? This is your chance to pick up a strong Fire damage dealer.
- Already have Pearl? Save your Jade for Phase 2 and pull only if his kit fits your team.
- Still on the fence? The 4-star rate-up carries over, so you can wait and see how your account looks first.
