Worth pulling?
Hotori's first Phase 2 banner ended on June 3. Pull on rerun only if you need a Cosmos DPS/buffer or already have a main carry; skip if your account still lacks a primary damage core.
Hotori was the Phase 2 limited character in version 1.0, running from May 13 to June 3. Treat this page as a rerun and roster-fit planning note: useful if you are deciding whether her Cosmos coverage is worth saving for, not a live-banner urgency page.
How to Play
Hotori’s value is not raw carry damage alone. She is most interesting when your roster already has a main damage dealer and needs a Cosmos unit that can add buff uptime, reaction coverage and flexible field time.
Arc comparison:
| Arc | Role | Key Reason | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marching Beyond Time | Best-in-slot | Signature Solid Arc for Hotori’s current weapon banner | Limited Arc banner |
| Reality Refuge | Defensive fallback | Solid S-Class option listed on the current weapon banner | Current Arc pool |
| The Forgotten | F2P fallback | A-Class Solid option when you are skipping weapon pulls | Current Arc pool |
If you are F2P, do not chase the weapon banner until the character is secured. NTE’s character pity is much cleaner than the Arc banner, and the Arc system has lower featured-target reliability.
Best Teams
Cosmos control: Hotori / Esper Zero / Haniel / Fadia. This keeps a low-spend Cosmos core while covering buff uptime and survival.
Nanally support: Hotori / Nanally / Sakiri / flex. Use this only if you already own Nanally and want Hotori’s support value instead of another pure carry.
F2P bridge: Hotori / Esper Zero / Mint / Haniel. This is not an endgame ceiling team, but it lets new players test Hotori without needing a full premium roster.
Worth Pulling?
Pull Hotori on rerun if you need a Cosmos DPS/buffer, like her playstyle, or already have a strong main carry. Skip if you still lack a clear main carry, because Hotori is better as roster glue than as the first account-defining damage unit.
