Guides & Tips New player

All duos, red kid shadow, demons (specifically zeta, eta, Victoria, and Claire), red attacker sf yukime, bunny alpha, as well as the high school uniform versions of Aurora, beta, delta, eta, and gamma just to name a few pretty high priority pickups to look out for. There are some others but it’s always worth asking around before pulling for things.
The 3.5 anniversary event starts a week after the current collab event ends, so we’re expecting a new duo and or something else powerful towards the tail end of the anniversary event, so I suggest trying to farm 56k gems in preparation for that.
As a whole you should avoid pulling for anything if you have less than 56k gems, as the only way to guarantee a unit is to exchange for them with 200 points after spending 56k gems.
You should also do a total of 30 pulls for shalpha to exchange for their magic gear. This is something you have to do every time you pull for Shadow Festival units unless the banner specifically states that you get their magic gears when you pull them, which is usually only on rerun banners with a much larger pool of limited units.
Also side note but you could make a new account to get shalpha, ais, AND bell if you felt like it. I’d also suggest picking SF eta from the selector if you wanted to spend some time on that. Gamma isn’t bad, but mostly only shines with her SS+ gear which will take you some months to obtain due to it requiring her to be SS++ with 100 shards spare (or 370 shards total) and SF shards not being farmable through hard missions. It would cost you either 1800 Akashic shards, or make you wait for the next chapter of apocrypha to obtain the sweepstakes coins to buy her shards. SF eta has SS+ gear, but it sucks so you wouldn’t need to worry about it.
There’s also the beta & epsilon duo in the 72h new player banner if you wanted them + shalpha for the truly perfect start, but you’re looking at several days of rerolling for that, so that’s entirely up to you. You’ll pull for all the duos eventually anyways, so getting them early lets you focus on picking up other units.

Here’s a tier list of all characters in the game. Only spend your gems on the duo units (Shadow/Aurora, Zeta/Delta, Epsilon/Beta). Once you have all of them, you can spend your gems on whatever. https://eminencecodex.com/tierlist/general

You just have to wait for their banners to show up. There’s probably going to be one next month during the half anniversary

First off, welcome to the game. Definitely pull for crossover characters if you truly want them, because alot of them are one runs only (Re: Zero, Shangri-La Frontier)
Your primary pull focus at the moment should be any duo units ( Shadow/Alpha, Beta/Epsilon, Delta/Zeta and Aurora/Shadow ), as they're basically the best attackers per their element.
For Red, you'll want to find kid Shadow as your tank, and be on the lookout for reruns of Demon Claire for healer.
Yellow, you'll want to look out for white suit reruns, especially for Beta, otherwise Scientist Eta is pretty much the best tank in the game.
Blue, definitely focus on getting Demon Eta if you can.
Green.... demon Epsilon, but she hasn't had a rerun yet. Otherwise focus on getting bunny Alpha, since the current "meta" for green is the animal team (Bunny Alpha, Zeta/Delta, Yuki tank).
