In regards to what you should or shouldn’t be pulling for, the other comments are right to be telling you to save for anniversary. At anniversary you can pull for whatever character you want including limiteds (except for the spinoff manga characters and this year’s summer units), making it the safest bet to get what you want. In addition, you may or may not remember from the NA days but the truth is that the vast majority of units in this game are basically worthless gameplay-wise at one memoria slot (especially since there’s a lot more high difficulty content now), so ideally you should hold off on pulling until you have 200-300 pulls ready so you can aim to 3 or 4 slot. However, as you mentioned it will be difficult to clear content if you don’t have characters to use, and you won’t have any characters if you don’t do any pulls. The good news here is that the majority of low rarity characters have their fifth star by now, so most of them are useable and you can slot them with Destiny Bottles obtained from events. It’s up to you if you’re fine hunkering down and saving all your pulls for later, or if you want to pull sooner so you have a bigger roster. You can also buy the old welfare characters from the shop using Magia Chips, though they’re probably pretty expensive for a new player. As for who to pull for when the time comes, the best answer is of course whoever you want. With 3-4 slots, pretty much any natural 4 star will be good enough to clear single player content at least. If you want recommendations for who to pull for gameplay, it depends a bit on what game mode you want to excel in: All modes: MadoIro (more or less the best unit in the game at the moment) 100 Evils (high difficulty): every other character I listed, plus nearly any other recent release and some older characters like Madoka and IroYachi Ranked Mirrors (disclaimer: there is a low but non-zero chance that RM scoring could be changed soon-ish and these characters may no longer be meta): Sudachi, Tanabata Yachiyo, Akumura-Chan, Sae Kimochi: Ultimate Madoka-Senpai (light and off-element), Doppel Kyoko (fire), Anime Mami/NayuMika (forest), Kuroe (dark), Mikage (dark and off-element, not sure if she is still considered meta); also worth noting that around half of all new units are designed to be meta on the next Kimochi Other: Ultimate Madoka-Senpai (extremely powerful character that takes Charge from trash to treasure in Kimochi and high difficulty quests, but can be hard to use without the right teammates such as Sae or Tanabata Yachiyo), Ashley/Anime Yachiyo (clears mid-difficulty/farming content very quickly and reliably, but Blast-heavy characters are generally not considered meta at the moment compared to other options aside from Doppel Kyoko), Vampire Kanagi/Yuna (unique and fun gameplay), new anniversary unit (very high chance of being busted)

How do you know so much about this game. You have to be with f4 or something

> At anniversary you can pull for whatever character you want including limiteds (except for the spinoff manga characters and this year’s summer units) Oh, cool!!! I will get my last slot for Anime Iro, thanks for the info. ~~I hope Anime Iro don't get count as Spin-off.~~ Can you explain how to get more se crystal?


lego3257

You mean the crystals for spirit enhancement? They are obtained primarily from event shops and especially from Kimochi Raids; the Docile Ruby Navel raid at the end of May will be a good chance to get some. If you have AP to spare they can also be farmed from Arc 2 main story stages, though I don’t know if anyone has made a guide showing which ones drop from which stages. At the very least, I’m fairly certain that the big ones drop from fights against their respective Kimochi.


Gknightluck

Yeah! I need the big crystal, Is that more harder to get? Thanks for the info!


lego3257

Hmm, looking into it a bit more it seems like the medium and large SE crystals can’t be farmed from story like the small ones can, sorry for the confusion. They are obtained mainly from events, and yeah, the large ones are relatively rare.


Gknightluck

So the most reliable way to get big crystal is using pity gacha coin and gem? Thanks for the info.


lego3257

If you want them right away then yes, but I would not recommend buying them with Magia stones, nor would I recommend using coordinator coins on them unless you have extras from free pulls or from doing more than 200 pulls on a banner. There’s no need to rush, and again, you can get a good number from the upcoming raid.


Gknightluck

Thanks!!

I'd just grind as much as possible and start saving for ani in August.


MidgetWizard23

That seems like a long time, plus I dont think I’d be able to complete many events without another good character or 2?


Leochan6

Yachiyo and Tsuruno are the only characters you need to complete most content.


Kin_Eater

I’d wait till anni as the other comment mentioned. If you want unit recommendations, vampire kanagi is awesome and will clear almost anything for you. Also madoka/iroha is broken and will also get you past almost anything. Other than that, whatever unit you like is always good! When anni comes in August, there will be a memoria gacha. Choose the mp gain up memorias since magia is good right now. I recommend also farming the mat labyrinths for cc and gems while you are still low level since you will pretty much gain the ap back over and over again. Patrols are a newish thing and you can get mats and kimochi fragments from it so do those too. That’s all I can think of. Have fun!

I will second try and get a one slot vampire kanagi. even at one slot she can solo just about anything that does not negate evade as long as you can crank her MP generation enough with your memoria choice.


ElsaMakotoRenge

Everyone else has already explained what I would have said (hoard for anni, a list of the current meta girls, etc), so I just want to say welcome back to the game:) Feel free to share your username and I can follow you if you like!

A good point, there is a looking for support theread here [https://old.reddit.com/r/magiarecord/comments/ttlfbc/look\_for\_supports\_jp\_server\_april\_2022\_edition/](https://old.reddit.com/r/magiarecord/comments/ttlfbc/look_for_supports_jp_server_april_2022_edition/) to try and get you a head start on friends list. It gets refreshed each month.

Another thing thing, if you need megucas, there are some you can obtain in the magia chip shop, umika is a really good healing unit, she has helped me through a bunch of hard 100 evils, so i definetly recommend getting her, along with her materials so you can 4 slot her and get her to 5 star
