Hero Backup Stick Season 6 (May-Jul 2021)

The Hero Backup Stick Season 6 is here!

23 May 2021 5am to 18 Jul 2021 5am

TLDR:
Purple stick: CANNOT get Lv200, max of Lv160+ (slightly higher if you complete 23 May week quests on the day).
You will need to buy 40+ levels with funds to get to Lv200 – if you have double funds recharge then this will be slightly cheaper than the orange stick.

Orange stick: Able to hit Lv200 quite easily as long as you finish most of the quests every week.

Things to Note:

You CANNOT reset the weekly quests to a different quality. Green will always be green now. You only get 1 blue and 1 purple (if you buy the stick). However the weekly quests can be repeated, until you reach your weekly cap of 650
The uncompleted quest points will be carried over to the following week, so you can continue grinding then if you couldn’t play much this week
You can save the wristbands as they will carry over the next season, and you can exchange them for other LSSR shards or even KS!
You can only get Lv200 by hitting most of the daily/weekly quests limits (see calculation below) + you need to either buy the Expensive backup stick OR buy the rest of the levels with funds
You now cannot hit Lv200 with basic backup stick due to the XP caps

If you’re intending to buy the Orange stick, best to do it on the release day itself (23 May) as you will get a ton of free perks and rewards from the other recharge events. You can get ‘for free’ the new SR Tank Top Vegan, 10 Ascension tickets (SAC rate up is coming on 25 May!), and 7 buff locks!

REWARDS

Apart from the obvious G4, the rewards are quite lackluster and nothing special. The LC speed rune is only 33, and at Lv200 we don’t have any costumes or character figures, unlike the previous one with Chut Thai Fubuki.

G4 shards
G4 figurine
G4 badge
SPD 33 LC Rune
SSR wristbands, which is a currency for you to exchange LSSR shards and awaken materials

WORTH IT?

G4 is a great unit to have for PVE, especially for bossing matters. Do note that G4 can only be obtained via Backup stick, and will not be released in the Elite/Epic recruitment pool after this. Apart from him, the rest of the rewards are always worth it for the price, if you’re a low spender it’s the best bang for your buck.

G4 (Hi-Tech/Monster)

Basic: Attacks a single target with 2 consecutive strike, dealing 140% of ATK (+x) DMG, 100% chance to inflict [Shatter] on target, last for 2 round (DMG increase by 15%)
Ultimate: 3 hits single attack and deal 240% damage and 100% apply shatter (take more damage by 30%), and when critical procs, will apply [Weaken, deal 25% less damage].
Passive: For every type of debuff enemy had, [Charge-Up] itself. (when attacking, deals 117% of ATK as Charge-Up attack, up to 3 stacks). When there is a [Shattered] enemy unit, self enter [Tenacity] (absorbs 20% of own max HP, every round up to one time).
Ultra-Ultimate:
3hits atk 240% > 300%
Shatter take more dmg 30% > 40%
Weaken 25% > 45%

Gear: Primal ATK/ATK%

He is not a super must get, but if you’re into PVE then you might want to consider him.

Pros:

100% Shatter for both basic (15%) and ult (30%)
25% atk Weaken on ult crits which is useful for extra survivability on certain bosses like club boss Garou or Elder Centipede, and future HxM bosses
Charge-up DMG procs when using Basic too (no need to ult)
Free self-tenacity increases his survival
Fills Hi-Tech slot for Training Center and future Bomb core if you don’t have Genos/DK
Not too bad for LC due to his survivability and utility
Needs minimal investment to work, 3* is fine
He’s currently the only non-hero Hi-Tech, which might help in certain scenarios (eg when fighting club boss Garou you want as little Heroes as possible due to his follow-up chance)

Cons:

Not so useful in PVP – it helps in your Monster pvp if your monster team sucks
Need team support to build up debuffs to increase his charge-up dmg
Even at Max charge-up stacks, dmg is still lower than other stronger PVE LSSRs like Boros, RMG, etc
