Latest guide update
28 Aug 2026 · Updated 1 month ago · 2608 Chiral Redundancy

Global finally introduced to powerhouse OTs-14. It's in general recommended to eventually get her to V6 as it's the most efficient unit right now. She fits in all teams (but works the best in Corrosion and Freeze), she scale with the team so in theory she will not be replaced anytime soon. In gunsmoke you will want to borrow her for your every team.
Additionally I did some small adjustments to few other dolls. Updated Koleda and Asteria, added Eagletta.

Update also include all future dolls based on informations available to us from the CN servers.
Main doll for this patch is:
Sextans: great unit on V0 for not so great in current state electric team. If you are building electric team then absolutely get her, for everyone else it's really hard to recommend if you take into consideration than in couple weeks new Groza will join Elmo, which is a much better 'investment' for your account power.

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.

I decided to move Basti directly to Core unit, as she replaces Peritya she basically becomes staple support unit together with Mechty and is also a very valuable unit that does not require any additional copies. She has a nice upgrade path for people that wants to invest in her with V2 and V3 upgrading her passive for even bigger buffs and up to V6 for a very solid damage for a support. Just remember that she is completely fine unit on V0.
Downgraded Mechty to Solid because Basti will take priority on pulls, she is still a solid unit but with risk of being replaced by next corrosion support, and you might choose to go 4 core + 1 support team depending on your investment levels. Peritya lands in retired tier and should be only used if you are missing any other corrosion dolls and don't have a choice.

Initial version, heavily based on Active Duty sheet but heavily modified and updated to include all dolls. Dolls not available on global, are not ranked and will be updated on doll release.
