Recommended 5* Costume Selective Tickets

The Guide Pass introduced June 19, 2025 is intended to help new players get started playing the game. It provides 12 special tickets that can be spent to purchase copies of 12 specific costumes. If you buy the limited time Mega SALE!!! package (available for 3 days after you activate your account, highly recommended), you get another 5 for a total of 17.

For a new account, I'd recommend a spread that prioritizes upgrading Diana (pub recruitable, so needs 1 less ticket), Lathel, and Helena. If you can get the SP reduction for these costumes, it's super helpful because you'll use them a lot. Then take a copy of the next most valuable costumes you don't already have.

It might be worth spending your selective draw tickets first to see what you get before spending all of your Recommended 5* tickets.

This is what I'd pick for myself. Focusing on Diana plus either Helena+Levia or Lathel+Rafina, depending on which damage type you're using early on, is an option too. But, you might kick yourself later if you end up not getting any copies of any of these costumes through random draws. You can't use the monthly selective upgrade on costumes you don't own!

A new player will get the most value out of these tickets by sticking to the first set of costumes here. These are the best of the best and will never go out of style.

Type	Portrait	Character	Costume	Purpose	Min	-1SP	Ideal	Notes
Core Supports (Most Important)					Min	-1SP	Ideal
Universal		Diana	Adventurer of the Unknown	Buff property damage	+0	+3	+5	The most valuable 5* support when you have elemental advantage. It's better to give her upgrades and continue using Arines/Elpis than neglect her in favor of Lathel/Liberta/Helena. Pub recruitable.
Magic		Helena	B-Rank Idol	Buff Magic ATK + crit rate	+2	+3	+5	Requires +2 and potentials to be better than Elpis. 50% crit rate at +5.
Magic		Levia	Track and Field Captain	Chains + Magic Vulnerability	+0	+1	+4	The main target receives a stronger vulnerability debuff. Vulnerability potency increases at +2 and +4.
Physical		Lathel	Homunculus	Buff ATK	+1	+3	+5	The highest ATK buff in the game, but only for the first 2 turns. For the remaining turns, the potency is reduced to about half. Requires +1 to be at least as good as Arines for the remaining turns. Buff can be kept up full time at +5. For general content, you're more likely to use Liberta if you have her because she also buffs crit rate, but he's used almost every Fiend Hunt and Guild Raid.
Physical		Rafina	Game Club	Chains + Physical Vulnerability	+0	+1	+4	Vulnerability potency increases at +2 and +4.

This is the second most valuable set of costumes in the pool. They're primarily used in Fiend Hunt and Guild Raid, so they won't help much for clearing story content.

Type	Portrait	Character	Costume	Purpose	Min	-1SP	Ideal	Notes
Intermediate Selections					Min	-1SP	Ideal
Universal		Zenith	Robin Hood	Chains + Concentrated Fire + Vulnerability	+0	+3	+3	Upgrade to the 3* Rigenette. Concentrated fire is a taunt effect that helps characters reach enemies they wouldn't normally be able to, either by positioning or their targeting type (eg. since Zenith is a Skip/Vault, she can help Very Front attackers like Sacred Justia skip so she can hit more tiles). Once you get a single copy, the other costumes in this group are higher priority for further upgrades. Costs 0SP at +3 with potentials.
Universal		Refithea	The Gluttonous	Crit damage + damage reduction aura	+0	+1	+5	Pub recruitable. If you don't have her Pure White Blessing costume, you'll never use her outside of her field ability. Crit damage buff potency caps at +3, SP recovery increases at +4, and damage reduction increases at +5.
Magic		Seir	New Hire	Stacking damage buff when she's hit	+0	--	+5	This is a very strong late game pick if you have the other supports maxed out. She's very rarely used outside of Fiend Hunt and Guild Raid, and even then, 50% of the time tops.

These are the least valuable in the pool for a new player. The first two are the most useful for a newer player, the last two require their other costumes to be useful. All of the costumes in the previous two groups are more important than these.

Type	Portrait	Character	Costume	Purpose	Min	-1SP	Ideal	Notes
Damage Costumes					Min	-1SP	Ideal
Magic		Loen	Last Hope	Raw damage	+0	--	+5	Her damage and 3 turn cooldown makes her useful even without her other costumes. Very similar to Maid Name R Liatris, but without a conditional. She's a very common pick for Fiend Hunt and for clearing rooms.
Magic		Venaka	Wind Dancer	Decent damage + increases wind damage taken	+0	+1	+5	Pub recruitable. Vulnerability potency increases at +3. She's a very common pick for Fiend Hunt and pairs well with the free Summer Vacation Dalvi costume.
Physical		Ventana	Comeback Idol	Self ATK buff + pure damage	+3	--	+5	She's a single target specialist, which has limited use to a new player, and not very useful with just the one costume. Very strong for Last Night, but there are better choices. ATK buff potency increases at +3.
Physical		Rubia	The Empress of the Ocean	Chains + DEF reduction	+0	+3		Damage is kinda mid. She's mostly used in Mirror Wars for the DEF reduction. She can also be used as a chainer in Last Night, but I'd skip grabbing her purely for that purpose because there are better options.
