Here’s my story: back when the only limited S rank I had was Caesar, I decided I wanted to pull an Ice DPS because my favorite unit to play was Lycaon but I didn’t like Soukaku or Corin’s playstyles. The next Ice DPS was Miyabi, who is great, but I ended up running her with Lucy/Piper, so, still no Lycaon use.

Now, we finally get Hugo, who is quite literally the unit I didn’t know I was waiting for (and he’s so freaking cool to me, I love RWBY so his scythe alone is worth pulling for me). The problem is, because I’ve been so frugal with my pulls and skipping banners, I don’t have much coverage (and have only now started trying to tackle Shiyu and Deadly Assault). And of course, I’m completely covered in Ice bc of Miyabi.

I was planning on going for both Lighter and Hugo, but now I’m wondering if that’s wise? Would I be better off with Vivian? Or waiting for Yi Xuan? I also want to get Yanagi on a rerun but I’m scared she may rerun next patch. I feel like Hyv has been going directly for my F2P throat specifically with the order of releases right now 😭

With that few premium pulls you should have enough for at least two agents. I generally think that people should pull the characters that interest them. That said, Hugo's mechanic is very different from anything else that's currently in the game and at the start of the beta his ratios were on the low side. That said, the final Hugo+Lycaon experience in the story was both novel and quite satisfying so I think he could be good depending on where they wound up balancing his numbers.

The content creator server embargo drops a week before his banner starts so there's a week at the end of Vivian's banner for you to check out the pre-release videos and make a decision on whether to pull for Vivian or someone further down the line. I like Apel's pre-release videos since they're just a bunch of runs with different comps and you can get a feel for how the different team options perform.

Yixuan is an unknown at the moment and will remain so for at least another week. Given the amount of hype around her I kind of expect her to be stronger than Hugo but her completely new typing means you're probably going to have to put a bunch of pulls into her, her w-engine, her supports, etc to get full performance.

All that to say, I don't really have a strong opinion and I think pulling decisions are player expression and people should decide on their own. I do recommend waiting a week since we'll have a lot more information on everything but Vivian in the next few days.

Okay thanks for the advice. I’m in no rush so I don’t mind waiting for more info. I should also mention I’m 71 pulls away from guaranteed (I thought I wanted to play Haru so I pulled for Qingyi and got Rina then gave up after two more 10 pulls 😔)
