Introduction

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent in this game, I can confidently say that these reviews provide a balanced perspective on the characters available in the current banner. Let me break it down from my own gaming experience.

After the past week’s repeated banners, we encounter a new sequence of reruns featuring Nagisa, Toki, and Koyuki. In this piece, we’ll quickly discuss whether it’s worth summoning these characters and if there have been any changes in their value since they were initially released.

Nagisa Overview

Nagisa is a 3-star student specialized in explosive abilities, offering versatility in several strategies. Primarily, she functions as an area-of-effect (AoE) damage dealer, inflicting substantial explosive damage when fully equipped. At level 40 with her unique equipment and enhanced abilities unlocked, she dishes out commendable damage.

Given that we understand what benefits Nagisa brings to the team, should she be considered a worthwhile character to acquire? If you have a soft spot for Nagisa, let nothing deter you from doing so, as the final decision is yours and depends on your personal enjoyment of the game.

In essence, yes, Nagisa remains a potent Special student, proving her worth in every Explosive raid. However, it’s important to note that she is a Limited student, meaning she’ll only be accessible during this current rate-up or future rerun events. If you’re short on Pyroxenes and haven’t acquired Ako yet, you might want to consider holding off on this banner. While Nagisa performs admirably in Hieronymus and Kaiten, she isn’t essential for clearing either raid at the Insane level.

As a gamer, if you don’t currently play Mine or haven’t got plans to acquire future debuffing units tailored for Gregorius, I would strongly recommend recruiting Nagisa instead. She serves as a great alternative debuffer for your roster.

Toki Overview

Toki is a Limited 3* Explosive Striker student who is mainly used as a Single Target damage dealer for Hieronymus Torment. As a general damage dealer, you will want her at UE40 or UE50 to maximize the damage she deals.

Regarding their ability to inflict personal damage, Hieronymus Urban and Nonomi (Swimsuit) are roughly on par with each other. However, Toki’s EX Skill sequence is somewhat cumbersome, necessitating a transformation before she can dish out the majority of her damage. This limitation often makes Toki less popular among players seeking explosive damage, especially in Extreme mode and below. A faster rotation tends to yield better results for a higher score.

Unlike the first version of Toki, she is not considered the top option for an explosive damage dealer at this point. She falls behind D.Hina and S.Nonomi in terms of damage output, and does not provide any additional benefits for the team. In other raids besides Hieronymus, however, Toki stands out due to her unique armor type: “Elastic“. This armor type is only weak to Sonic attacks, but at present, there are no raid bosses that possess both the Sonic damage type and Light Armor type. For a more detailed analysis of Toki’s capabilities, you can check out this review.

To address the obvious question on everyone’s minds, should Toki be pulled for? Well, if she happens to be your beloved character, then by all means, go ahead! Remember, it’s your game and your decision.

Initially, Toki was a popular choice for beginners due to her ability to manage both Kaiten and Hieronymus. However, with the introduction of D.Hina, Toki has become less frequently used as D.Hina can effortlessly clear teams for these raids in Insane difficulty and below. Furthermore, there are numerous Explosive damage dealers like Aru, Azusa, and Mutsuki that can be farmed, making it advisable to skip Toki’s banner and instead prioritize either Ako or Nagisa.

Koyuki Overview

Koyuki is a constant, 3-star Mystic attacker who is primarily employed for area-of-effect damage infliction. Like many similar characters, she benefits from the slight damage increase provided by having Enhanced+ activated at level 40 of Unique Equipment.

Koyuki primarily functions as an Area of Effect (AoE) damage dealer, often employed in battles such as Goz or general content due to her powerful AoE on her EX Skill. However, it’s worth noting that the effect on her EX skill is randomly determined, which may result in inconsistencies in damage output. Nevertheless, this shouldn’t prevent you from deciding to include her in your team composition. Moreover, her basic skill includes a ricochet effect, capable of efficiently dealing with groups of enemies.

Considering we now understand what advantages Koyuki offers to the team, is she a worthwhile character to obtain? Well, if Koyuki happens to be your preferred student, then by all means, don’t let our thoughts discourage you from acquiring her. Ultimately, it’s your game and account to manage as you see fit.

As a fan, I’d put it this way:
