v3

Published by Ravushimo

Mica surprised us with Liushih’s release in the same patch cycle as Loreley and Cheyanne. Not gonna lie, it’s going to be a tough time for our wallets. But let's quickly go through all the new dolls:

Loreley - GOAT: A must-have support for burn teams at V0 and an amazing universal support at V2 if you can get her extra copies. However, if you only plan to use her in a burn team, V0 is perfectly fine. Her signature provides a great buff too, but if you have V2 Vector, it can be left for a rerun since it loses some value.

Cheyanne - Core: The second hypercarry for physical teams. She exceeds Voymastina's single-target damage but loses out in AoE situations. She's a great pick for Gunsmoke, but for anything else, it's probably better to save for Voy.

Liushih - Core: Definitely a core pick for hydro fans. At minimum, you'll want to pull V1R1 (one extra copy and her signature weapon). Going above that depends on your love for hydro team and how far you want to go with the rapidly upcoming OTs.

Faelynn NEW
Core Unit
Fortification: V0
Teams: Corrosion
All teams
Weapon: Replaceable
Capitoline [OTs-14]
Planeta [Tololo]

One of the best sentinels that can fit in most teams, as she has great personal damage. Either keep her at V0 for dorm meta or go all in for V6; nothing in between is worth the investment (linear and minor upgrades), but the last upgrade doubles her V5 damage.

OTs-14
Fortification: V0

Liushih
Core Unit
Fortification: V1
Teams: Hydro
Weapon: Get her signature. Huge personal damage buff.

Basti
Core Unit
Fortification: V0
Teams: Corrosion
Weapon: Solid but replaceable
Hestia (Faye)

Overperformer, the V0 GOAT. Solid unit from V0 that takes Peritya slot in corrosion team, and probably will stay there for a while. She has a decent upgrade for her support capabilities up to V3 and then a lot of damage past that.

CN DEC 2025
Global JUL 2026
Cheyanne
Core Unit
Fortification: V0
Teams: Physical
Weapon: Very good signature

The second hypercarry for physical teams. She exceeds Voymastina's single-target damage but loses out in AoE situations. She's a great pick for Gunsmoke, but for anything else, it's probably better to save for Voy.

GOAT
Fortification: V0
Teams: Burn
All teams with V2
Weapon: Great signature that buffs Burn and Embers damage

A must-have support for burn teams at V0 and an amazing universal support at V2 if you can get her extra copies. However, if you only plan to use her in a burn team, V0 is perfectly fine.

Global JAN 2026
Sakura
Solid
Fortification: V0
Teams: Fire
Tile team
Weapon: Replaceable

Global APR 2026
Helen
Solid
Fortification: V3

Lewis
Solid
Fortification: V0
Teams: Burn
Hydro
Weapon: Best MG in the game (low bar)

Versatile doll that can work in Hydro team, but she needs high investment, preferable use platoon V6 instead of pulling and save for hyper carries like Qiuhua.

CN JUL 2025
Global FEB 2026
Alva
GOAT
Fortification: V0
Teams: Freeze
Weapon: Amazing signature
Golden Melody [QJ]

Alva elevates freeze team, and is perfectly fine on V0. While Robella provide great damage, Alva provide everything else and also decent damage for support character. If you are planning to use Freeze team, then start with her.

CN JUL 2025
Global FEB 2026
Bathilde
Retired
Fortification: V0
Teams: Physical
Weapon: Free from Platoon shop

She is unfortunately weak from release. But if you don't have anything else she is ok support for dolls like Ullrid with multiple attacks.

CN JUL 2025

Voymastina
GOAT
Fortification: V0
Teams: Physical
Weapon: Very good signature

Physical hyper carry. Outside gunsmoke, basically an auto-win doll that decimates everything. In GS one of the best damage dealers.

Solid
Fortification: V0
