Sunna Character Analysis
Kit Breakdown
Mesmerized Detonation: 210% ATK Physical damage, guaranteed crit, 50-100% bonus crit damage scaling

Core Passive Fever: Up to 30% ATK increase at 1000 base ATK threshold

Role & Synergies
Physical Support specialist. Amplifies Physical DPS through Ether Veil buffs and Mesmerized detonations. Angels of Delusion faction tag enables potential future resonance bonuses.
Best Partner: Nangong Yu (Physical Stunner) - intentionally paired via Phase 1 rate-up for complete Physical team cores.
Meta Comparison
Specialized vs generalist supports (Rina/Nicole). Superior in mono-Physical teams, limited value for Elemental/Ether comps. Guaranteed crit mechanic provides consistency for high-difficulty content.
Optimal Teams
Core: Sunna + Nangong Yu + Physical DPS (Soldier 11)
Alternative: Substitute Koleda/Lycaon when Physical Stunner unavailable (reduced synergy)
Players lacking Physical DPS should reconsider priority - specialized kit underperforms in non-Physical teams.
Yixuan Rerun Assessment
Current Meta Position
Versatile DPS with self-sufficient kit. S12 rotation guarantees access within standard pity. Fits balanced playstyle without complex mechanics.
Pull Recommendations
New Players: Strong value if missed initial banner. Fills DPS role across multiple comps. Predictable 180-pull investment.
Veterans: Evaluate against existing DPS (Zhu Yuan/Ellen). Skip if roster complete unless pursuing constellations.
Constellation Value
C0 adequate for most content. C1 provides QoL improvements, not transformative. F2P: prioritize new characters over dupes.
Cost per constellation: 14,400-28,800 Polychromes (avg 78-82 pulls to S-Rank).
Alternatives
Compare vs Phase 2 leaks and upcoming schedules. Standard S-Ranks (Soldier 11/Nekomata) offer similar roles but unreliable acquisition.
Featured A-Ranks
Priority: Nangong Yu for Sunna synergy
F2P Value: Accept A-Ranks as S-Rank pulling byproducts, never pull specifically for 4-stars
Constellation Focus: C1-C2 provide biggest spikes. Spread investment across multiple A-Ranks vs maxing one.
Soldier 0 Anby: Accessible Electric Stunner, high constellation potential through normal pulling.
10-pull A-Rank pity ensures regular acquisition without dedicated resource investment.
Pull Strategy by Player Type
F2P (40-60 free pulls/version)
6,400-9,600 Polychromes from Daily Commissions (60/day × 21 = 1,260), events, maintenance. Check pity via Signal Search history tab.
Decision: Sunna if building Physical teams, Yixuan if needing versatile DPS. Requires 28,800 Polychromes for guarantee.
Low Spender (Monthly Pass)
Target one character per phase. Avoid splitting between character/W-Engine banners. Budget 28,800 Polychromes before committing.
ZZZ Polychrome best price at BitTopup for secure transactions.
Whale Optimization
Secure both Sunna + Yixuan + signature W-Engines. C6 budget: 75,000-90,000 Polychromes worst-case (avg 60,000-70,000).
BitTopup offers instant delivery and customer service for large-volume orders.
Pity Tracking
Manual count via Signal Search history. Soft pity starts pull 75 (increased rates), hard pity pull 90 (100% guarantee). 50/50 on first S-Rank, guarantee on second if lost.
Pity carries between Exclusive Channel banners. W-Engine pity separate (80-pull hard pity, 75% featured rate).

Guaranteed S-Rank: 28,800 Polychromes (180 pulls worst-case)
Average Cost: 18,720-19,680 Polychromes (accounting for 50/50)

Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Pulling Without Pity Check
Verify Signal Search history before every session. Prevents accidental S-Ranks on wrong banners and wasted guarantee status.
2. Ignoring Future Leaks
Review Phase 2 announcements (typically final week of Phase 1) before committing. Opportunity cost includes forfeiting Polychromes for meta-defining characters.
3. Chasing A-Ranks
Never pull specifically for 4-stars. 10-pull pity doesn't guarantee specific rate-ups. Accept as S-Rank pulling byproducts only.
4. Splitting Character/W-Engine Resources
F2P/low spenders: avoid W-Engine banners entirely. 15-25% damage increase doesn't justify 12,800 Polychrome cost vs character acquisition.
Future Planning: Phase 2 Considerations
Leaked Characters: New S-Ranks with potentially meta-defining kits (pending official confirmation)
Announcement Timing: Final week of Phase 1
Meta Predictions:
- Sunna: Long-term Physical team value, limited immediate impact for diverse comps
- Yixuan: Immediate value but power creep risk vs newer releases
Sustainable Pull Schedule
F2P: 40-60 pulls/version = one guaranteed S-Rank every 2-3 versions. Identify 2-3 priorities, skip all others.
Low Spender: One character per phase = 4-6 limited S-Ranks annually. Maintain 28,800 Polychrome rolling budget.
Skip When:
- Insufficient resources for guarantee threshold
- Similar role characters owned
- Higher-value Phase 2 anticipated
- Opportunity cost exceeds character value
