Tower of Fantasy: Why you should pull before choosing your free SSRs

Through the Newcomer Event, which concludes on August 18, all new players in Tower of Fantasy will eventually have access to a single free SSR Weapon. For completing numerous in-game activities, such as collecting weekly activity points, cracking password chests perfectly, and regularly logging in, among other things, you'll need to accumulate 700 Reward Points. If you haven't done any gacha pulls before getting the free SSR box, we advise you to spend some gold nuclei and get a few pulls under your belt before selecting a single SSR weapon from the Standard Banner pool. Let's examine the reasons why.

How to get extra free SSRs in Tower of Fantasy

Pity protection for the Gold Nuclei Standard Banner kicks in at 80 total pulls, ensuring an SSR whenever you pass that mark. The fact that new accounts, providing you haven't already done so, have a second guaranteed SSR Weapon at 30 Special Orders in the Standard Banner is not disclosed. For example, by the time you leave Astra Island or shortly thereafter, there are likely 80 gold nuclei in the game world, making it possible for you to purchase three SSR Weapons without having to pay any real-world money.

When the moment comes to employ a weapon from your free SSR weapon box, you should choose one that works well with the team you have put together. Tower of Fantasy has four different team types, and the free weapon ought to be enhanced or optimized for both single-player and multiplayer content:

• Balance: To earn a 5% benefit to your final damage and damage reduction and a 20% buff to shatter and healing, equip one weapon from each of the three weapon categories—Fortitude, Benediction, and Attack. Team play is increased by 20% as a result of this advantage.

• Fortitude: To obtain a 25% benefit to damage reduction, a 60% bonus to shatter, and an 80% bonus to opponent aggro, you must have at least two Fortitude-type weapons equipped. Team play is increased by 20% as a result of this advantage.

• Attack: For a 10% increase in final damage, equip at least two DPS-type weapons. When playing in teams, this bonus rises by 40%.

• Benediction: In order to improve your healing by 100% (and by an additional 100% in team play), you must have at least two support-type weapons equipped.

It's time to start concentrating on getting some best-in-class SSRs once you have something that works for each team type. There are many options, but only a few stand out.
