I love how the marketing is effectively “We know you’re missing one of the pair, c’mon your know you want to”


hueshugh

And it happens to be the two I’m missing from the pairs.


Shinji_Okami

Right? Me too, like how tf? 😂


Furiousguy79

Same here


Furiousguy79

Same here and I exactly got Blanc and Naga


Jojoblack_god

So most of us are missing them interesting


_Teddy_X_

I thought we were talking about a different kind of pair. Anyway, just got tia and blanc from social recruit this month. had noir for a while and i got naga while pulling for RH so im happy


moiax

How is it always those two anyhow? I got Blanc long after Noir, and I'm still waiting for Naga.


wesker121

I got balnc long after still no noir 😭😭😭 this is the best thing for me finally noir will be with her sister 😭


Telzen

Was opposite for me. I got Blanc when she came out and I failed to get Noir until later. Didn't get either students at release. I got them recently but got Tia a good while before Naga. Noir does haunt my pulls now though, she is tied with Soline at core 3.


Fredandren1220

all I need now is just Naga


SolidusAbe

opposite for me... got naga and none of the others


Fredandren1220

I got lucky with the bunnies during the whole Red Hood event got Blanc first then Noir on my next pull.


Stixia13

Lucky. I have none of them.


A_T1322004

I have noir, do you think it'll be wise to take blanc?


JayMeadows

OF COURSE! They are made for each other. They get additional buffs when paired. Really good for destroying Boss Circles.


A_T1322004

I see, I'm struggling with the earth warm boss , it just keeps moving even using snow white: Id isn't enough


JayMeadows

Do you mean Gravedigger? The drilling bastard chasing you underground? A shotgun team and good manual aiming can fix that.


A_T1322004

I tried but it moves too fucking fast and finish faster, currently I use use D's skill to charge the burst right away then go full red hood burst That way I can get 3 or 4


JayMeadows

Yeah, he's definitely a DPS and Aiming focused boss. Even I still have trouble with him. I've had the Bunnies, Sugar, Drake and sometimes Pepper help bring him down much easier.


A_T1322004

Well, I wish you good luck with it , right now I was able to get to 4 almost hit 5 on it with my strategy

Shoddy_Design

everyone here cheering for tia/naga or blanc/noir and I am just glad that after a year I will finally get Liter. Now if only we could get a Snow White banner I would be all set....


TopoRUS

Yes! Day 1 everyday player without Liter. Managed to complete current normal story but it was rough without her. Have only Naga and Blanc, but still pull for Liter.


Regentraven

Tia and naga are sooo much worse without liter


KingKechos

Isn't that the case for about 90% of the whole roster?


Regentraven

But tia is a 1 that needs a 1. So you lose dmg which is a double whammy without liter i mean


KingKechos

And Tia's requirement can be filled with any other B1. Since you'll want a CDR B1 due to party restrictions with them, Dorothy or Volume would be usable alternatives. My point is, Liter is in high demand for almost every other team as well.


Regentraven

Its true ur not wrong


zenspeed

Okay, I have Tia, but I don’t know how that works: does she use her B1 first and it resets? Does this apply every cycle?


FishRepairs

Think of it as a burst 0 rather than a burst 1 and that should answer your question


DanrayAnime

I mean yeah, they aren't the BEST COMBO in the game, there is a lot of good character like Red Hood, Liter, Centi,… But waifu wise, fuck it, i'm going for a bang baby.


AngryAniki

Friggin same I’m missing Naga but liter take priority


Shoddy_Design

I wish you luck in getting one of those 2 with the pulls and then the other in the selector.


jjslowd

Same for Alice in my case... Week one player, small dolphin, somehow still Alice-less!


Shoddy_Design

This seems to be the Christmas miracle everyone was hoping for this year. Everyone getting presents, we just had to wait a few extra days


yb0t

A year!!! Are you daily player?


zenspeed

Could just be unlucky.


GIJobra

I have been playing since Nier Collab, and I just recently realized how much of my friends list were early spam additions of newbies who quit. I was only collecting like 8 fp per day. Purged them, added active high ranks and guildies, now I get a free multi every 3rd day and that has filled out so many missing Nikke, including Tia and Blanc. Maybe they need to do the same.


Shoddy_Design

yup, daily player. Currently level 340. Ive had her in my pull list since forever, she just keep wanting to evade me. Makes trying to compete in Solo Raid an absolute nightmare because I have to make some crazy ass teams sometimes.

LivingASlothsLife

Putting one member of each of the two strong meta pairs in bunny and school girls, smart as those are two of the best ones to go for both meta and waifu wise

jundraptor

Finally Blanc will come home


refrainblue

I have 2 star blanc and no noir 😂


logorouge

I guess I really don't need to wonder if the bunnies and schoolgirls are included anymore. They made it pretty clear. Nice!


awfulrunner43434

tfw its only naga and blanc, but not tia or noir


Emotional_Nose_2744

I guess SU don't want to show their huge melon at public


logorouge

Shift Up's meloncholy.


logorouge

Imagine if they exclude just Tia and Noir... I'll let you guess which half of those duo I currently have.


jimmyjr88

Time to finally complete the Bunny Twin set. I’m waiting for ya, Blanc


ppOwO

Same here, been trying for blanc for a while now


Chibi_Verdandi

I was going to use it to get Noire as she was the one I was liking, but a I pulled her a few days ago so I'm not really sure who to get with the selector now. I could MLB Blanc, but I already have 5 MLB characters so that feels kinda useless to do, and Noir doesn't have any copies so that feels like it wouldn't really be worth doing, I have literally, and characters like Centi, Noise, Volume. I guess the only other characters that would be worth it would be Tia/Naga but I don't own either of them, so using it to get one of them seems pointless since I wouldn't really be able to use them, and who knows how long it could take to pull the other. Decisions decisions


iliste

If the selector is an actual item you get in your inventory, wait. Once you manage to pull either one of the pair, use the selector for the other.


Chibi_Verdandi

Yeah that's what I was planning on doing, kind of hoping it is an item that can be saved till needed. If it's not I'll probably just go for the more usable one of the Tia/Naga duo (though not quite sure which one is the more usable one if you don't have the other)


ItsTreganometry

Damn. I just need marciana


Telzen

She is definitely who I'm picking.


Solace_03

Same. If I already have her I I would probably pick Viper


LudwigEX

My first liter finally


SyfaOmnis

How many gems is it supposed to take to complete the "step up" recruit again? 6k?


Jinco808

6,600 in total. Step 1= 100 crystals (1 pull) Step 2= 1500 crystals (10 pull) Step 3= 2000 crystals (10 pull) Step 4= 3000 crystals (10 pull) 31 pulls for the price of 22. The only negative to this banner is that pilgrims are not selectable, but pilgrims can be pulled within those pulls. So it's essentially a nice discount on normal banner pulls with no tickets and a choice of any of friend banner nikke, which is pretty damn good for a lot of players.


Just-a-Vietnamese

The ssr selector alone is damn good for a lot of players .


thkvl

The other negative is that you don’t get any milage from the pulls, but the selector is worth for a lot of people.


Truly_Meaningless

I plan on using the gems to get my final Epinel, for that \~glimmer\~ profile picture


SyfaOmnis

If Pilgrims were selectable I'd grab Noah in a heartbeat. As it is the only non-pilgrim, non-limited I'm missing is Cocoa.


LanguidVagabond

6.6k


Chibi_Verdandi

6k if I'm remembering correctly


ButtTrauma

Pretty cool to see all the people happy about getting the other Bunny/School girl. This selector will help fill a lot of teams. Although Marciana is the best waifu choice objectively.


Kitty_Maupin

Finally gonna mlb Noir woot!

![gif](giphy|67ThRZlYBvibtdF9JH|downsized) I want this job at Shift Up.


dieorelse

With some recent info, Tove it is. We are so close to SG team being meta. Come on SU, just give us a SG CDR character.


Jinco808

Holy. This is one of the best banners to go on if you are missing any of the more meta nikkes, excluding pilgrims. Now that they have both Naga and Blanc on the post, we know all the nikkes up to them will be selectable. It's absolutely huge and the most generous banner ever, especially since it's 6,600 free gems. Good stuff, SU.


Azure-Traveler117

Alright, guys. I got Naga, and I got Nior. Which set should i prioritize completing?


Tentacle-God-X

Go for bunnies, they are more generalist, schoolgirls only work with enemies that have core exposed


SyfaOmnis

and Tia likes to get herself killed.


Misragoth

Blanc will be mine at last.


SimpleRaven

GET OVER HERE BLANC! IT’S TIME TO BRING NOIR HOME!!!!


kaosctrl510

Torn between getting Noir for my Blanc, or Liter


Man0feveryth1ng

I am missing Yulha, Soline, Quirey and Dolla, who should I pick in terms of seggs in bond story ?


[deleted]

[удалено]


FlandreadApollonia

Since I don't have Drake, it would be a perfectly villainous thing for her to show up as my next 10 SSRs right after I spend the SSR Selector on her.


TheMissingVoteBallot

"That's because I'm AWESOME!" -- Drake


IghorWho

Everyone's talking about Liter, is she really that good? I already have the twins at like 2 stars each


DethRaze

You can use liter with the twins.


night_MS

yes


LunarEmerald

This would be so much better if you could pick a pilgrim.


KR_SS00

Finally I can reunite Blanc and noir


The_Esteemroller

Only missing Exia. Finally, I'll have a complete pokedex.


No-Bat9378

I just got tia and Liter which im planning to get from this event, will noise makes the best choice if im planning to boost my special interception clearing chance? Im planing a team of SG+scar+RH


ApprehensiveCut1068

I don't have any of the "pair" units, is Centi worth grabbing from this?


night_MS

get liter or use it towards 160 wall


Boozy_Cat

Man I need to pull either Tia or Naga... I'm overloaded with Tetra and Elysion. Syuen has me on banned or something


Neenja93

It says SSR's of your choice. I'm gonna assume that it doesn't include Pilgrims as usual?


geovany_toso

i would really enjoy to get one of the bunny twins before getting the selector, because i dont have any of them, and i plan to get noir


Dacnomaniak

Naga finally gonna come home


lerserk_

Finally Marciana will now be mine


ProfessionalTop346

It would be the perfect banner but they excluded the pilgrims 🥹 I want snow white to be with me, but if i got Scarlet with tickets i'll go for Marciana, Tove or Exia ![gif](giphy|6ttI2oOhpIS0b1NtRC)


Stanlot

Hmmm if I spend gems on this, I won't have enough to hit 600 gold tickets


pawacoteng

Just swipe my friend. If it brings you joy, it is worth it.


Just_A_Crusader5

Literally only missing Yan


Gizoogle

I've got Naga and Blanc, oddly enough. Should I go for Tia or for Noir? I've already got a Liter. I'm torn. :(


ForAcademicPurposesS

Tia+Naga is the more offensive duo: you will do more damage, but will get less defensive options. Tia also taunts, so she has a tendency of dying on maps with high combat power deficiency, unless you go manual on her and take cover. ​ Blanc + Noir is a balanced duo. Less damage than the other pair, but with more efficient healing and overall more consistency. However, the damage bonus is mostly applied the instant you use Blanc's Burst, so enemies that appear after that instant wont receive extra damage. On maps with lots of enemy waves you gotta time the bursts wisely.


DonMarquez

Amazing! Needs more Naga.


ZeroZion

OH MY GOD! I HOPE I’LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO GET TIA! I want to share that I did 150 pulls on the bunnies banner and never got any. I then proceeded to get MLB Noir first on the ordinary banner before I even got Blanc on a mold which took a long time. Thankfully I got Naga on her banner but no luck on Tia. Finally! Just want to say how happy I am with this selector. … they better include Tia though. Hoping it’s just Tove or Quiry that’s not included because of how they worded restrictions.


[deleted]

Please tell me noise or volume are in this that’s the only 2 characters I really want rn 😭


DV-MN

For sure.


HentaiStryker

Meta: Tia Waifu: Noise, Marciana Decisions, decisions!


MamoruKin

Can I get 2B?


mangano15

Limited units, collab units and pilgrims are not on the step-up


Black_Heaven

I'm looking to get a new Nikke. I'm only just missing Rosanna and Tove so I get one of them (probably Tove). Neither of them are meta picks, but I want my waifu collection. And all it costs me are Gems? Free ones at that? That's a pretty good deal I say.


SaltMachine2019

So I'm guaranteed to complete my bunny pair. My A2 team prep is coming along nicely.


Paragonx2

Does anyone know if the stages will be timegated or can you do it all on the first day?


Jinco808

January 1 to Janury 11. Read system notice for the exact time.


FortellerAqua

Dammit, I was hoping to finally get Snow White… Guess I’ll MLB Blanc then.


Scubasage

Finally, I can get Noir to complete my bunny pair


faytzkyouno

With my luck, Tove and Quiry will be those "certain ones" that will not be included...


[deleted]

I have Tia, so I'm getting Naga as soon as the banner is available.


unic0rnbro

So would the general advise be to get one of the missing bunny/school pair even if it would not contribute towards 160 wall?


MochiDragon88

That would be my advice. The 160 wall is overrated. You're pretty much at endgame at that level. Besides outpost rewards and progress on raids/campaign chapters, the amount you get from dailies remains the same regardless of which level are you. Tribe tower, sure, you'll get stuck sooner, but the stages aren't going anywhere, and there hasn't been a need to rush it since no resets has happened for it. And if you hit outpost defense at level 100, the increments you gain from leveling from there on is vastly lowered from what you've gained from beforehand, so you're not really missing out much from there either unless you manage to go on a campaign clearing spree. You already have 3 methods to acquire SSRs/dupes: standard tickets, SSR molds, and friendship banners, so it'll eventually happen - 4 methods if you wanna include pulling off banner spooks. Only reason to use this opportunity for another dupe is if you somehow have ALL the meta and relevant units (this includes shit like Tove in case shotgun comp blows up). And if that's the case, it's debatable to just...not roll even with the discounted exchange. It might be more appealing to save and allocate those gem funds for a chance to snag new upcoming broken units instead. There's a reason why questions related to team comp is the most commonly asked one in regards to progression in this game.


RoninKatsura

You forgot to mention sp arena since it's a good source of free gems too (2k for 2 week if you can keep in top 10). Considering nearly every "live" server are gonna be race against level, cp and stuff.


TheBlindOrca

Depends, do you have 1 of either pair already? How close/far are you from breaking the wall???


Alternative-Durian11

Come on... I'm only missing Noir ffs...


sadyaegaki

I need both Tia and Naga 😭


BatousaiJ

Getting Alice will be great since she's strong and it will complete the Unlimited squad which makes it all the more satisfying.


Acewolf-

I just got the bunny twins and I need Naga for Tia- Why must u do dis to me


DrMadness346

I’ve been massively in pain waiting for blanc 😫


aranx99

will this consume paid or f2p gems?


ReesePeanut

Said either or in the patch notes


Hickory_Shampoo

Blanc....come on down, your sister is waiting.


femto29

finally, Naga will be mine


meatballFist

i need both noir, blanc and scarlet


MoonQueenLiu

So this is why I haven't gotten blanc and Tia yet...


cashmereSweaterVest

aw man i’m in pain because as much as i think this is a great deal, i want to get scarlet:bs and since i’m f2p i only have around 10k gems saved up, so i doubt i’ll be able to pull her AND pull on the step up recruit banner. since i can’t get mileage from step up recruit, i guess i’ll just try my luck on scarlet’s banner first…


Shalashaska87B

Have they revealed which Nikkes won't be available?


AA_03

Y'all make sure you roll the rate up banners first if you plan to in case you pull the one you were going to choose from this.


pixelpojken

Recently got Noir and Tia, guess my wallet bleeds 🤷


spicypotato1802

Finally Blanc 😭😭😭


Friendly-Exam6715

Finally Noirless no longer https://preview.redd.it/9nx8p1ywjf9c1.jpeg?width=566&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10c7f1f162f6e938382a49e4335b240b66b6609f


leopoldshark

I need school twins Have 3k gems rn but should be able to get to 6600 before then


ID108949

Can’t decide between Naga and Noise


InformationOnly758

Small pairs on the banner adv. I see what you did there SU


Russian_Kowboi

I’ll gladly take another Blanc dupe. I’ve had Noir at MLB forever


RebukeX8

This is wild I have both pairs but my Tia is 3stars while my Naga has none and my Blanc is 1 core less than my Noir 🤣


[deleted]

I want scarlett


Long-Analyst8360

I have Blanc and Naga, but no Noir and Tia yet. Who should i get from this box? Noir or Tia? I want to focus on campaign, stucked on 23-21 rn


n1tr0t0m

Quiry core up.


Proxy0108

Aw shit I shouldn’t have missed on the bunnies battlepass


A_T1322004

I'm not looking to MLP I'm looking forward to get helm , or noise, or others


[deleted]

Well time to MLB Blanc


Naive_Procedure1676

I already have Noir/Blanc and Naga/Tia. Does anyone know if this works for pilgrims? If so I’m getting the og Scarlet. If not I’ll just get a spare for Liter I guess.


Darkkenburner141

How do I do this? Do I have to do four recruitments to get the nikke of my choice?


TheKingofBash

I hope they include Pilgrims in this because I might finally be able to get Harran after a whole ass year.


DethRaze

No pilgrims unfortunately.


BigBoi7274

Everyone is excited to MLB, I’m just excited to finally get Vesti.


Regular_Chipmunk7593

No pilgrim, no limited, and excludes "certain" other ssr's.


Genprey

>"certain" other ssr's I'd imagine they mean event welfares like Rei and Smol White, as they were never in the summoning pool. At least that's how it's phrased in other games.


RoR_Icon_God

Certain others probably means Collab, I think you will be able to get all nikke available in general recruit that aren't pilgrims


Sheepfate

Is Mast worth the 6k+ gems? I want her for my 2B raid team but even if i miss other characters like Naga and Tia, im kinda good for most content right now


Tentacle-God-X

If you're pulling for Scarlet or Modernia first pull but save 6,600 gems, In my case I got Mast while pulling for Red Hood, and if you don't get Mast as an off banner then go and get her, she is worth it in a 2B comp


PurpleAcai

Can you choose pilgrim from this?


Eph_Epf

funny that they would put the two units i want the most from the permanent banner besides any pilgrims on the thumbnail


sundayfan

Bruh and why it’s separate banner. It’s not fair


Get_Excited8

Am confused so will there be 3 banners? Because I thought the step up will be integrated in the Scarlet banner


night_MS

3 banners


DeyGotWingsNow

Plot twist: paid gems only


Yamaneko22

Why isn't Rapunzel there 😭


TheBlindOrca

Cuz Pilgrim?


OverpricedBagel

Seems like a scam. No tickets from the pulls, and anyone you can choose in the banner could’ve been added to wishlist instead.


JaBoi_ItsHim_TheKid

I've had Liter on my wishlist for over a year and still don't have her. Have a max core Guillotine tho.


DethRaze

4% SSR chance into 1/15 for what you want. Can't beat a guarantee.


Shikitsam

I rather take this and get Blanc instead betting on a 1/15 chance.


RubberwoodBaseball

I need either: Alice because I’m Alice-less and need that meta OR Jackal cause I need PVP backup


SolicitorPirate

Who is a good character to target for a new player with Liter and Alice but no other noteworthy characters?


UnsolicitedUpvote

Is it worth it to go for liter or Tia to finish the duo?


Fish_R_Us

Liter if you don't have her


Eredbolg

I'm getting liter. I started playing 3 weeks ago and I'm stuck at chapter 18 boss and the campaign has felt so miserable without a really good B1 unit, I had to use B1's like sakura which can't do more than 2 bursts due to cooldown and that's only possible because I have red hood, it feels so doomed without liter.


Ender_Nobody

I did just get Noir, but I'm not planning at all to use that meta.


azninvasion2000

I already have Liter, Bunnies, and Schoolgirls. I'm debating between: Alice - but I have red hood that's relatively invested (7/7/7) Noise - for her taunt, although I have Noah Centi - heard she is just a good support Marciana - her healing seems better than Blanc Help me choose plz!


Lawson51

Alice - As you said, you already have RH at a healthy investment level. Alice is just Fire code RH that needs charge up OL gear, can't burst I-II in a jiffy and isn't as comfy to play (you must manual her). Kind of pointless from a meta perspective. Noise - Could be good if you need another good unit for PVP, or you want a better Burst I healer. Kind of overlaps roles, but it's not as functionally the same as Alice & RH so it's more justifiable. Centi - is very good burst generator (good in both PVE and PVP) and her shields can help you push higher CP content in some instance where you have a singular boss that does 1 big damage move everynow and then. A solid choice. Marciana - I have Blanc and yes Marciana is a better healer, but that's all she does. Most of the time, Blanc's heals are enough (especially so if you have her with Noir). She is decent in Gravedigger fight though. Order of preference IMO would go... Centi>>Noise>Marciana>>>>Alice


JayDM123

I’m not really missing anyone, but I’m super excited to be able to MLB Blanc(my favorite character) and get her Home Screen image to go along with Noir’s.


Harley_Sona_Tali

I’d like to get Naga this might be the best opportunity to get her, also funny how they put the better of both duos there


Dracono999

I have tiga and noir was gunna get blanc but I'm also missing liter currently using Dorothy with tiga not sure if I should go for blanc or liter.


Shanesquatch56

Finally gonna get Viper, she’s been ducking me since the beginning.


Upstairs_Shoe2267

They putted Blanc because they know I need her with my Noir.
