Selective Draw Recommendations

This guide was originally written when you could only pick 6 costumes, so this list is rather abbreviated.

The old selective draw banner let you pick 6 costumes you wanted, but you only had a 50/50 chance of getting them when a 5* shows up. The new one lets you pick 12 costumes, but only your selected 5*s will appear.

Supports are always the safest choices, since the list will only grow to include new costumes without replacing anyone, but you will need more copies to make some of them useful. In the past, the highest value supports went on rerun every 6 months (Anniversary in June, Half Anniversary in December), but this did not happen in June 2025 due to the implementation of the Recommended 5* Costume Selective Ticket and the improved selective draw banner.

Damage costumes, on the other hand, are volatile due to power creep. If there's a new costume on banner, drawing on it will usually be your best bet to get you established in the game. If you're not sure, compare them to the costumes listed below. These were chosen because they're either useful with just the one costume or one of that character's other costumes can be obtained by recruiting with a contract, so they'll tide you over until the next strong damage costume comes up on banner. You can also refer to this in-depth guide on the most general-purpose damage characters.

Type	Portrait	Character	Costume	Purpose	Min	-1SP	Ideal	Notes
Supports					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.
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.
Physical		Liberta	Dark Saintess	Buff ATK + crit rate	+2	+1	+5	Requires +2 and potentials to be better than Arines. 50% crit rate at +3. Pub recruitable. Her Onsen Manager costume is also quite valuable, definitely worth having a single copy of for Last Night, but lower in priority than the other support costumes listed here.
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. Top Idol is a good complementary costume and is pub recruitable.
Physical		Rafina	Game Club	Chains + Physical Vulnerability	+0	+1	+4	Vulnerability potency increases at +2 and +4. Her pub recruitable costume is not used much outside of Fiend Hunt/Guild Raid and Tower of Pride 3F.
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. Night of Jealousy is a good complementary costume and is pub recruitable.
Magic		Celia	Descendant of the Great Witch	Chains	+0	+3	+3	An evaluable chainer for Fiend Hunt/Guild Raid when combined with her pub recruitable costume: The Curse. Without her limited costume, Masquerade Bunny, you'll need to get the cooldown potentials on both non-limited costumes to maximize her usefulness.
Universal		Refithea	Pure White Blessing	Buff property damage + chain bonus	+0	+1	+5	The Gluttonus is a good complementary costume and is pub recruitable.
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 to increase their range). Costs 0SP at +3 with potentials.
Damage					Min	-1SP	Ideal
Physical		Sacred Justia	Reclaimed Destiny	Raw Damage	+1	+1	+5	Damage increases the more enemies she hits. Her high SP cost can make her difficult to use at +0. Can be used every turn at +4.
Physical		Blade	Young Lady	Chains + Physical Vulnerability	+0	+1	+5	The vulnerability is only for the main target. Apostle is a strong secondary costume and is pub recruitable.
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.
Magic		Venaka	DJ	Magic RES reduction	+0	+1	+5	Both of her costumes are excellent, so it's hard to say which one is more valuable. Wind Dancer is pub recruitable, so DJ is the selective draw pick.
Magic		Morpeah	Beach Vacation	Summons 2 units that can self-destruct	+0	--	+5	Her damage isn't spectacular, but she offers a lot of utility. Her pub recruitable costume increases the damage her summons do and applies concentrated fire to the main target. Her free Daydream Bunny costume is less useful, but is occasionally used in FH/GR.
