Who to pull
Lost Sword is stingy with 5★s. The mistake is treating every banner as “maybe later she is good.” Pull the units that stay S+ in the modes you actually play. Shop currency and Growth Points are a different page: New Player Guide. Rankings below match the current tier list.
Reroll until you land one of these
A fresh account should reroll until the 5★ is S+ in PVE. That unit has to carry story, dailies, and the first raid clear. Stop the moment you hit one of the four below. Building the rest from the standard banner is faster than hunting a prettier portrait.
-
Lueira PVE carry
Frost healer whose damage is the shield. One unit that clears story, dailies, and the first raid while the bar holds. You are not rerolling for a pretty 4★.
-
Flame · Kay Frontline S+
Holy Knight who is S+ tank, support, and DPS in the same seat for PVE and Raids. If you want one body that does not force a second pull, this is it.
-
Clarisse Burst window
Fire Knight who detonates inside a 25s Desperate Will window. S+ where fights die early. After the buff drops she is a debuff battery, not a dead unit.
-
Galahad Enabler
The ultimate is five seconds of party immunity plus a huge amp for archers and wizards. She ranks S+ by letting the carry live, not by dealing the damage herself.
PVE: pull these, skip the rest
After the reroll, gems go on PVE S+ names. Morgan le Fay is the other carry-support hybrid: cooldown refunds and a stacking Queen’s Decree mark, S+ in PVE and PVP when Favor is leveled. Erin turns her own HP into party shields and amp, the backline that makes HP stackers work. Neo Bedivere arms the party with crit rate, lifesteal, and a CC-immune ultimate window. Maid Rita is the heal stick: Attack-scaled heals and a panic immunity so she can cast again. If a banner is none of those and none of the reroll four, skip it.
Raids, Brawl, PVP: only after a PVE core
Estheria and Lumi are raid supports first: Estheria feeds Magic Attack and Fear marks, Lumi banks Charge into a double ultimate and a 70% party Attack buff. Karishara is Raid S+ only while Burn stays up. Empty Burn windows collapse her to C. Do not spend a limited on her until PVE is staffed.
Brawl S+ is a different game. Hikage shreds multi-target and is C on raid bosses. Ria is the Attack / Crit Damage buffer for that mode. Pull them if you live in Brawl; they are not a reroll win.
PVP-only tanks waste a new-account banner. Percival is S+ in arena and a raid dead seat. Cowqueen Belsey is S+ tank in PVE and PVP, but soft in Brawl, worth it if you already have a PVE carry, not as your first 5★. Unsure between two names? Use Compare.
Raids S+
When to skip a banner
- The featured 5★ is A or below in the modes you play. A pretty kit text is not a pull.
- You already own an S+ in that role. Compare them before you tap. Dupes of the unit you use beat a second name that sits on the bench.
- The unit is PVP- or Brawl-only and you are still on story and Stonehenge. Gems are the bottleneck; those modes wait.
- You are saving for a known S+ rerun (Lueira, Flame Kay, Clarisse, Morgan). Sitting is a decision.
