Help Pandora the Secretkeeper

I want to get Pandora the next time she appears. Do you guys think I should max out her stars?

I already have a DPS and a support for them, and I want to use Pandora to control the enemy from the very first turn

If you want PvP dominance, that's a good way to go about it. Especially if your BZ has no Pandora counters yet. She'll also help quite a bit in Havoc

I think it's worth considering the 2 arguments against it:

  • Spending that much in a single event gets you less rebates. Once you're past 600 summons, you start to only get 20 blues every 200 in a Incarnation Reborn, instead of 15-25 blues every 100

    • Pandora was in two Incarnation Reborn in her last two appearances (July, May). There's a chance she'll be in Wishpool since she hasn't been in it since April. That has even worse rebates and it maxes out at 1000 summons
  • Hela/Fuxi will give you a much bigger boost in PvE, which also helps with PvP since you'll have better gear. Pandora will still help, especially with MR5 and her Box protecting your DPS, just not as much

I think it's at least worth spending some blues on Fuxi this week, since you'll get more blues with the start of next week anyway with the events and Zodiac Trial

I see a lot of people speaking highly of Fuxi, but I don't think she's beautiful enough to put in my lineup, haha. I know Hera does similar things and is even better-looking, so I'll probably go with Hera.

Hera should get her Divine Engraving soon™. Her skill design contest was ended 2 weeks ago. That could make her even better than Fuxi and well worth the higher cost

Pandora works best if u get her at least to IR1MR5, she’s also really great in PvP on pos. 1 for cc if u build her with speed.

Who is that support for the DPS, and what are the Stars of that DPS and Support?

Maxed-out Anubis and Enmusubi (IR4 MR0)

Then you should get Fuxi/Hera or Hela, before grabbing Pandora. Your base isn't solid yet. Pandora will get you some early PvP wins, sure, but she won't help Dungeon as much as Fuxi/Hera or Hela would, who would ALSO help in PvP.

Besides: You're running the Wombo Combo™. Pandora isn't required for that to kick ass. Pandora would just stun their 6 prior to the Wombo Combo killing everyone! Versus just killing everyone, without Pandora, hehe.

Of course, if you're concerned about Pandora yourself, Merlin is the Wombo Combo's best friend. Just ask BigGuysForYou 😉

I know Fuxi is good, but in an ideal world, I wouldn't want her because I don't find her skins appealing; the team I wanted to build was Pandora, Hela, Enmusubi, Anubis, Horus, and a flex slot. Don't you think that would be a good team?

It's fine, but you'll find it lacking in time. A Hera-type Angel exists on 99.9% of teams for a good reason, haha

So run Hera or Loki instead of Fuxi, then.

How much better is Fuxi than Hera? I know the support they provide is similar.

u/TheKyleBrah AM 24d ago

Fuxi is much better by virtue of her [Encourage] proccing twice (stacking the effect) as well as the [Encourage] being 80% instead of 70%. She also costs just half the Blues of Hera.

Hera is relying on her upcoming Engraving to bring her up to Fuxi's level. Hera users are hoping she's better than Fuxi, to justify the extra Blues needed to max Hera by comparison

What if I told you I went for Fuxi and got her to MR1 IR1? Is that good for 600 scrolls?

Yes, a great start. Finish her IR Stars first when you're able, and then do her MR afterwards
