Cissia and Nangong Yu Banner and Info
The new patch of ZZZ has been fully announced just recently and it looks like the banners will be Nangong Yu (last of the Angels of Delusion to be released) in the first half and Cissia (N.E.P.S. member and snake gal) in the second half. I'm quite excited to see what the story will be about because the trailers gave us so much teasing of new characters, new elements and much much more coming. Of course, many of the surprises will be left for the 3.0 patch that starts the new cycle, but I'm sure they won't hesitate to give a few breadcrumbs ingame to keep us interested and speculating in the meantime.
Nangong Yu is a Stunner in the Ether element that completes the idol team (finally we can see the dance coordinated between all three!) and is almost surely going to be BIS when used with Aria and Sunna. I know that Sunna technically can go with Yu Shunguang too, but I feel it would've been more aligned if all three turned out to be Ether instead of just Sunna being left behind with the Physical element.
Cissia is instead an interesting one as she's an Attacker in the Electric element which makes me wonder what team is she going to require. At the moment my electric team uses Soldier 0 Anby with Seed and Trigger, but being attacker she should work fine with Seed's passive so maybe she could be an upgrade over Anby? As a character she's the one I'm the most interested in the coming path both because she's a gal (which is new to ZZZ) and because of her personality that we got a glimpse in the current patch. She feels like a girlfailure and I love her.
About materials farming, I'll do what I do every time which is farm the element and role materials (as they are known) and wait for the release before doing the weekly materials and expert challenge materials. Those can change at the last minute and I don't want to end up with unused materials for no reason.
