This isn’t a very good banner all things considered, yes you get a banner unit at a 1.5x rate, but its not guaranteed by the looks of it, and all the premium units are rather easy to get. Skip.

Contrary to popular opinion, I do not believe this banner is particularly good. Rozalin is a good support unit, but she’s not a unit that is required to play the game and she’s not the best carry either. For paid players this is an alright banner that they can spend on.
Paid

Banner #
Extra Info
If you are a free to play player, the incentive for this banner really is the NYR, with Yukimaru being a decent supportive-ish unit, but this banner won’t be the best for players, in fact it could be a large waste of resources if you’re a F2P. The current units such as Desco, Laharl, etc already clear content well enough, and progress is not stalled by the lack of Rozalin.

Extra Info
This doesn’t guarantee a 4*, meaning this is a skip.
This isn’t a banner worth summoning on, if the rates had a 4* guaranteed every 5-10-15 it would be more valuable, but these units come back later and have other rate ups.

Look, I’ll level with you, as a new player this might be a decent banner but the lack of any 4* guarantee makes it difficult to summon. A variety of banners are better and more bang for your Quartz, so I suggest skipping this.

If you desperately need a Laharl-Chan this is the banner for you, otherwise this is a must skip banner for the most part. Laharl is good but she’s a premium unit meaning you will most likely accumulate her over time, while Mid Boss…is quite frankly Mid.

Summon
Banner #
Extra Info
The very first Badass fest. It features 6% rates + a 4* every 5 summons. Now this doesn’t necessarily make this banner worthy, unless you’re a massive fan of Valvatorez this banner could break the bank. I suggest skipping until pity is guaranteed on future banners. Valv comes back on other banners that are more worthwhile.
Free
No.
20031/20046
The issue with a banner like this is that Tyrant Valvatorez is a spear user, and spear does not become efficient til later on. He is an incredibly selfish albeit strong unit, but summoning on him requires the user to have some forethought. This banner isn’t merely as efficient as other banners down the line, and in terms of Bad ass fest Valvatorez is one of the weaker ones, having less use the longer the game goes. Of course who knows what unit might come out that could make him better but for the time being investing in tyrant valvatorez is a difficult situation to be in. He’s a good unit no doubt and worthy of the S+ tier, but if you are a Free to play, this is one of those banners that is incredibly hard to summon on similar to the Roz banner.

Summon
Banner #
Extra Info
This banner is a tad bit interesting, the fact that it’s not a paid banner by the looks of it, and that it gives you either a 3* 4* or 5* prinny makes it interesting. Overall I would suggest to dodge this unless you really need 4* or 5* prinnies and chances to get some random unfeatured premium units.

This isn’t the worst banner seeing as you get a guaranteed summon every 3 summons, as well as a 4* drop rate of 6% by the looks of it. In other words, this is a pretty good bet if you desire Fuka/Almaz/Fenrich/Marjorie. Only summon if you are in need.

Summon
Banner #
Extra Info
The free version isn’t particularly bad, but it lacks the 6% rate which means its not the best in terms of efficiency I’d say this one is more of a skip then the paid one. it also loses value by being every 5 summons instead of every 3. This is a skip, but summon if you require a unit on here really badly.
Free
Maybe.

Look, I’ll be honest if you’re looking for a monster team this is probably the best banner to try and pull Usalia out of the ones presented up to date, the only issue is that the pool is shared by a variety of other units, even if she’s on rate up she’ll still be hard to get. I suggest only for Whales or high-end dolphins to chase here.

Extra Info
Again, I’ll be frank, this isn’t a terrible banner but a variety of things can go wrong. Having a 4* very 5 pulls isn’t bad at all, but the lack of a 6% and the fact that you can easily get out of this with only one viable unit makes it harder to pull. I do think if you’ve been holding on to summons you can afford to spend 7500 Quartz on this.
Free
Maybe.

Extra Info
Pure Sicily is a top tier unit that I do recommend the average whale, dolphin or spending player should attempt at. It’s worth the attempt to pull one of these units especially with a 4* guaranteed. But just like NYR banner, its hard to justify something without guaranteed pity unit.

Extra Info
If you are a new player or in need of Laharl/Valvatorez this is the banner to summon on. I don’t normally advise chasing for dupes, but if you need to chase for dupes this is a decent banner for those two, although its highly discouraged. Overall, this is a skip.

Finally pity banners! These are actually what F2P wants to summon for, if these units interest you, by all means go ahead and summon once you hit the 10th/15th/20th summon you’ll have a good chance at either of these units. If these units do not interest you, you can freely skip. Update: This banner starts at 5-10, not 50th. This is a good banner.

Again another Bad ass fest, but this one still struggles with the same issues. No guaranteed BA unit. At least this one has a larger pool, so surely its not terrible, but its difficult to tell people to summon on this with no guarantee. I suggest merely waiting it out until a reasonable banner comes out. A-Roz and T-Val are both good units.
