DISCLAIMER: This guide is more for F2P players with limited BTs. Going forward, I will give insights on why the unit is good or bad, so that you can make your own informed decision. Due to everyone’s own unique line-up, BT count, situation, new units and constantly changing meta, I will NOT be advising on pulling or not.
- All the SSR+s are strong in their own way. It’s a matter of which one you have to prioritize as an F2P
- The good news is that, it’s pretty much exactly the same as SSR+. It’s still using 4 Evo stones and 1 Awakening stone, and still requires BT to pull. The only change is that now we need the UR evo stones (red color) instead of the orange ones we have. Hence you have to use up all your SSR+ stones. There is an option to convert 2 SSR+ Stones into 1 UR stone, but at this time I’m not sure if that’s a one-time thing during the UR event, or you can exchange anytime. Guide here!
- As an F2P, it is too expensive to Awaken Passive 2 any SSR+/UR, I would recommend you pull multiple good SSR+/UR units than to AWK2 one SSR+/UR. However, it depends on your situation and if a particular unit is very good, so if you want to please go ahead. Do note you can continue doing so on the comeback banner if not enough BT (although not as ideal).
UR Genos (Hi-Tech/Hero) [Class S1]
Basic: Deals 120% ATK to a single target
Ultimate: Attacks all enemies with 2 consecutive strikes, dealing DMG by 500% ATK, every strike has 50% chance of adding 1 stack of [Specialized Burn] (DOT by 300% ATK. After any character acts, transfers the effect to a random target, disappears after transferring 3 times.) to the target.
Passive: When battle begins, grants 60% Non-Crit DMG Free (reduce all types of Non-Crit DMG, cannot co-exist with [Agility]). After any character acts, [Detonate] (400% single [Specialized Burn] DMG turns into [Detonation] DMG) the [Specialized Burn].
Awaken Passive: After any character acts, absorbs 40% [Detonation] DMG and deals [True DMG] ( Not affected by DMG Rate and DMG Free, deal direct DMG without [DMG Sharing] or [Evasion]) to 3 characters with the lowest HP
Ultra-Ultimate:
Ult ATK% 500% > 700%
S.Burn stack chance 50% > 80%
S.Burn DoT 300% > 400%
Extreme Passive:
Non-Crit DMG FREE 60% > 70%
Detonate 400% > 450%
5P Passive:
Non-Crit DMG FREE 70% > 80%
Detonate 450% > 500%
Awakened 2:
Deals True Damage to 3 characters with the lowest HP > entire enemy team
SO WHY UR Genos?
Pros:
- The next best main DPS for hero side – great AOE Dmg that is doing True damage – meaning unavoidable and unshareable dmg directly to the the target’s HP. (eg bypass S.Guard, shields etc).
- Great for both PVE and PVP
- Don’t really have a counter to him yet at the time of posting
Cons:
- Expensive to gear if you want to maximise damage potential
- Not super useful for PVB
- There might be a UR CE Core upcoming soon (which got leaked), so make sure you have enough BTs for core units!
FINAL THOUGHTS
If your hero side doesn’t have a main DPS, or your main team doesn’t have a good AOE DPS, then you definitely want to pull Genos. He will help tremendously in both PVE and PVP.
WHAT ABOUT KS?
It’s great but not super must have. As an F2P you probably can skip. Whales should definitely grab it.
