Hotori: Marching Beyond Time vs The Forgotten
Use the F2P Arc if you are saving character pity; the signature Arc is a luxury unless Hotori is a long-term roster piece.
Open build →Nanally: BIS pressure check
Nanally gains more from premium Arc investment than low-field supports, so compare your pity plan before committing.
Open build →Skia: skip premium Arc chasing
Skia's endgame issue is boss mobility, not just Arc stats, so budget Arc planning is usually enough.

How we pick BIS, Alt and F2P
- BIS (Best-in-Slot): the signature or limited-banner Arc that maximizes the character's specific kit. Usually has a sub-stat that doubles a core scaling priority (e.g. Nanally's Ready-Ready doubles boss damage on Redirect/Ult triggers).
- Alt: usually a permanent-banner Arc with 80-90% of BIS performance, accessible without limited banners. Recommended when you have guaranteed-pity priority elsewhere.
- F2P: 4-star or free-event Arc that delivers ~70% of BIS DPS. Almost always good enough for clearing endgame content; you only lose at the minute-counter optimization level.
Tip: for character-specific deep dives with DPS percentage breakdowns, see each character's build page — the Arc section breaks down stats and effects in detail.
- When is a F2P Arc enough?
- It is usually enough for supports, tanks, exploration picks, and characters whose main weakness is mechanics rather than raw damage.
- When should I consider BIS?
- Consider BIS only when the character is your long-term carry or break specialist and the Arc effect changes the rotation, not just the stat line.
