Phoenix now, or save for Severian?
Pull Phoenix if you already own Velina or Remielle. Phoenix, Velina and Remielle together are the strongest Anomaly team in the game right now. See our Phoenix team.
Save for Severian if your account lacks a strong on-field Attack carry, or if you prefer straightforward stun-and-burst teams to juggling Anomaly effects. We’ll rank him in our tier list after release, once real performance data is in.
Either way, collect your free Polychrome first: the 3.3 compensation (600 Polychrome) and the current codes.
