Noan is truly the last of his kind being the last un and coming out in a couple weeks. Thanks for watching! 3:08 Disregard the costs, they are inaccurate since un copies give only 18 shards not 30 like omns. A small note: if you FORGET to charge on the 3rd gear stack, Noan’s attack does 1/2 damage compared to charging fully BUT ALSO consumes ALL 3 gear stacks in the process. It’s a minor detail so i didn’t keep it in the video but something to note i guess.

[@Cloudiroth462]

What do you mean by "He is the last Un?" I am scared by this statement for the future lmao.

[@eeevvvaaaa]

WEEKS

[@strykerssg6302]

@@Cloudiroth462 As far as we know in CN, there's no other Un released after Noan so if it keeps persisting as such, Noan can possibly the last Un to be added in the game. This is just theoretically speaking, though.

I started playing since Nanami patch, so I don't have many teams yet. Should I pull for Noah? I don't have Electric unit other than Liv Lux. I should be able to SS Barter with her Sig Weap next banner if I don't lose on her Weap banner.

[@crapsound]

Goddamn, his Core was more complex than I thought. I never realized I almost always end up with just 1 Gear Stack and no matter how much 3-ping I do, it just stays at 1 gear because the bottom gauge was at max. Now, I'm not sure if I understood his Core correctly but when I tried NOT to rev all the way when I did not have 3 gear stacks, I managed to get all the 3 gear stacks and THEN revving all the way on the next 3 ping.

[@Spider2B]

Yup

I don't have a lightning team yet (just Lux) but I pulled for Selena Tempest because I thought she was fun and getting Noan would both complete a un team for me and serve in a copium lightning team until Crimson Weave where I can pick up her and Garnet. Hopefully he's as fun to play as he looks because I'm very tempted to nab him!

He's so husbando but Kuro did him so dirty by putting him next to Bianca 😭😭

[@ordgaming4189]

Husbando > Meta

[@FvkingHandleNames]

Now that's a shitty situation, i wanted to pull him, but then i thought that i wanted to get balter, hyperreal and crimson weave, all with signature weapons, and since im currently at 24k bc i dont know what to do, we get 5,5k bc per month considering weeklies, dailies, ppc rewards and norman rewards, not considering events in fact, and also im getting the monthly bc pass, but man, this looks hard to do, 4 characters one after the other, seems difficoult as hell

[@ordgaming4189]

It's definitely going to be difficult, you may need to pick up any BC you can from interludes, story, strongholds etc. If you're lucky in weapon banner and "unlucky" in character banner, you need 22,500. That's for ONE copy and believing you win the 80% weapon banner. I'm not sure but I believe Balter and Hyperreal like to be at SS3, which requires another pull, since you get 30 shards from PPC, so if you wanted that that's another 15,000. All these characters have signature CUBs that would be 5,000 each. Just going off what you said, we'll stick to 22,500. Each update is generally a different month, so that alleviates 5.5k, and given the fact that there's one update between each, you can take off 11,000 for each so we're at 11,500. You're getting monthly pass, so following the same two month schedule we're at 4,900. Unfortunately, thats where what we can calculate the deduction ends, but there's still events, and outside BC from story etc. So you're looking at ~4,900 BC that needs to come from elsewhere. Luckily for you, you're at 24k, and since you'd need 14,700 BC from elsewhere, you're "good"! The bad thing is, this is assuming you do EVERYTHING, and that you actually get the weapon you want, 80% can and will get you sometimes. This doesn't take into account you getting pulls early either though. So since you saved up, it's actually looking more doable than you'd think, but this is only for one copy, and as I mentioned before, a lot of upcoming characters want to be SS3, that's a much larger power spike than SS. All this being said, don't spend outside of your budget. If you can spend a little more if it requires, I'd say you can spare the BC for one Noan. You don't need to pull for weapon, since when pulling for the others you will definitely get a few 5 star weapons, as long as you get three you can scrap them and go to 5 star weapon recycle shop to pick up Noan's weapon. You'll be stuck with his 4-star for a patch but *Vera shrug*. If you can't spend any more if you end up losing an 80% weapon banner, then you'll need all the BC you can, so obviously then don't pull any for Noan. Similar to how I was saying earlier, if you end up getting lucky but unlucky, by getting early 6-star weapons but not the one you want, you can scrap them to choose at the recycle shop specifically. You need 3 and normally those you'd use for weapon resonance (if you're holding for weapon resonance DO NOT SCRAP) but it's an option if you're unlucky. So basically if you get unlucky but you see you have 3 6-star weapons you don't want, you can just scrap the three. That's the closest thing to a weapon "pity" we have. Wouldn't recommend per se, but it IS an option. Goodness I wrote more than I meant to lol, but all that said, again, don't spend out of your budget. Remember the game is to have fun. And lastly, best of luck on your pulls!!!

[@Keichi-Ichigo]

Welt + childe lmao hahahaha

[@Jake-zk3eb]

Easy skip, gotta save up every BC i can for the barrage of characters that's gonna be release.

[@Aleph3575]

Yeah Noan is cool and all, but his patch is best used to save up BC and if you do spend, to spend on packs and BC for the upcoming units. We have two of the best units in the entire game coming within the next 3 months. Abysstigma completely warps the Physical team, and Hyperreal is just nuts. Noan is truly a "Waifu/Husbando before Meta" pull and uh, considering the units coming after him, he kinda falls flat in that category too lol.

[@Sercotani]

he's like the only megane dude in the entire roster of characters, unless you count skins of course (Chrome's and Noctis' skins). I'd argue that taste is really subjective, and that he doesn't really fall flat (I like Lee a lot too but Noan, design wise, is still better, _personally),_ and thankfully I'm a day one player so that plus having money to spend means I can happily husbando away without worry. I also like female characters so yeah the elephants in the room (Balter and Lightning Alpha) don't even need to be mentioned. Most players are waifu enjoyers. It's rough when you enjoy both genders :') F2Ps who like Noan are gonna have to think hard, but it should still be fine if they save every bit of BC they have right now. The smart decision for F2Ps would've been to skip Karenina if they wanted Noan, and also the future 3 units, unless they really like her or just prefer waifus in general. Just typical F2P gacha troubles, I'm just glad PGR at least guarantees you the unit on launch, so you only really worry about saving and not also dealing with shitty 50/50s.

[@artOVtrolling]

The state of my bank account and black card savings after getting Daren to SS3 and grabbing her sig and the fact that Balter is coming up and also requires her sig and at least SS means that there couldn’t have been an easier skip than Noan. Those are the 2 financial crashes this poor dude is sandwiched between. He never stood a chance.

[@ordgaming4189]

Idk, I feel the "husbando before meta" will easily pick him up since he doesn't need a lot of investment, and he's the unit that breaks the longest male character drought we've had so far. Following the meta is almost useless due to the fact there's no PvP, better performance gives you slightly better rewards, but none of them are BC so *shrugs*. Don't get me wrong, if you like whoever pick them up, but I think that's the point it's a definite who you want vs who you'd "need".

[@redscarf2766]

Balter doesn't require her sig at all. It just improves her crit dmg a bit which you can also do with 3 resonated 5 star weapon. Also her ss is completely optional. I would be saving up for hyperreals ss.
