Special Limited Banners - Selee Vs Jing Yuan - Who Should You Roll

Seele

Seele is the first limited to be rated up during the game’s launch is a 5* character that deals Quantum Elemental damage with the ability to deal massive amounts of damage to all enemies in front of her in addition to helping her to bypass other enemies in turn and attack constantly.

Seele’s main strong point lies in her high attack and speed stats in addition to her kit which revolves around manipulating her attack and speed to constantly deal damage to enemies. Seele’s skill allows her to deal massive amounts of damage to 1 enemy, with the damage increasing proportionally to her attack stat and grants her up to 25% extra more speed.

 

Seele’s ultimate skill and special passive grants her a special Buffed state which immediately makes her deal massive amounts of damage to all enemies and grants her an extra action when she defeats an enemy, completely bypassing the enemy’s action to deal damage.

Jing Yuan

Jing Yuan is the 2nd limited character that will be rated up during the version 1.0 update patch, right after the special limited banner of Seele has ended with his own banner of up to 21 days. He is a 5* Limited Character of the Lightning Element that has the ability to summon a familiar by his side to deal damage alongside him everytime he deals damage, allowing him to make constant follow up attacks and deal massive amounts of damage to enemies.

Jing Yuan’s true strength lies in his ability to summon his Lightning Lord, who will attack together with Jing Yuan every time he uses a skill or ultimate, dealing damage that spreads to enemies adjacent to the target. Jing Yuan’s skills and ultimate are extremely basic in nature with their ability to deal damage to enemies in front of him proportional to his own attack stat, however, they will also provide a special buff to the Lightning Lord, buffing its offensive capability by increasing its speed and attack stats.

 

Lightning Lord’s attacks damage are always proportional to Jing Yuan’s own attack stat and will spread between enemies, making his attacks almost always AOE and will help players to clear massive waves of enemies in an instance.

Special Light Cones Banners

Together with the 2 limited banners available for a limited time, special limited banners featuring the signature Light Cones or weapons of the 2 Limited characters to boost their combat abilities.

Seele’s signature’s Light Cone grants her special critical chance by a set amount and increases the wearer’s normal attack damage and critical damage of their ultimate by set amounts, helping to massively boost the wearer’s offensive abilities.

 

Jing Yuan’s signature Light Cone grants him massive amounts of Critical stats in form of critical hit chance and critical hit damage in addition to boosting the damage output of follow up attacks, helping to boost the attacks of his Lightning Lord.

Seele VS Jing Yuan - Who Should You Roll For

Objectively speaking, both Seele and Jing Yuan are wonderful characters to have as both are extremely powerful and have the ability to clear waves of enemies, however, both functions quite different from each other so if players were to rely on 1 playstyle than another, then it is quite important to choose who to roll for.

If you are leaning towards more offensive abilities that allow you to deal massive amounts of damage and sweep the enemy before they do an action, then pulling for Seele is the better choice as she has the more powerful potential of being a boss killer.

 

If you want a character that will help clear massive waves of enemies in short amounts of time, then Jing Yuan will be more up your alley as his abilities will stack with each other and allow him to farm massive waves of enemies as quickly as possible.
