Dive into the enthralling world of **Scarlet Girls**, a brand-new Idle RPG where you command an all-female squad of technologically enhanced mecha waifus. Set in the 119th year of the Old Euro Calendar, the game unfolds in a dystopian landscape where mutated animals and powerful beings have pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. As one of the last bastions of hope, you must recruit and train these formidable mecha girls to combat the menacing catastromechs and restore peace to Earth. This beginner's guide will illuminate the core game mechanics and game modes that will boost your account power and progression. Let's delve in!
Understanding the Combat Mechanics of Scarlet Girls
At the heart of **Scarlet Girls** lies an entirely Idle-based combat system, designed as a casual retreat for players who prefer to sidestep manual battles. The game operates on a turn-based mechanism where allies and enemies act according to their Speed stat, completing a round once everyone has taken their turn. You can deploy up to five characters into battle, with helpful features like Quick Dispatch that automatically arrange your formations based on the strongest characters. Once set, sit back and enjoy the visually stunning animations of each character's special abilities.
Your characters, termed "Stellaris" within the game, boast powerful active and passive abilities that they utilize autonomously during combat. Each skill comes with a cooldown timer, requiring a set number of turns before it can be used again. Crafting synergistic squads of mecha girls is key to overcoming your foes. Although the combat unfolds in real-time, players have no direct control during the battle phase. The real strategy lies in the strength and composition of your deployed characters and the tactical line-ups you create to maximize their potential.
Each Stellaris is categorized into one of four classes, which determines their role and utility in battle:
- Paladins – Boast the highest armor stat, acting as the frontline to absorb enemy attacks and shield their teammates.
- Support – Equipped with healing and supportive abilities, these Stellaris bolster the team from the backline.
- Devastator – Masters of heavy firepower, these Stellaris are designed to unleash devastating energy damage on enemies.
- Assaulter – Experts in close combat, wielding bladed weapons to inflict substantial physical damage and dismantle their targets.
Echo – The Gacha System of Scarlet Girls
Recruiting Stellaris is facilitated through the game's gacha system, known as "Echo." Stellaris are available in varying rarities – R, SR, SSR, and SSR+. The rarity of a Stellaris directly impacts their strength, with higher rarities boasting superior base stats in Attack, Defense, and HP, as well as access to more potent abilities that can significantly influence the course of a battle when used strategically.
At the global launch, players can participate in the "Normal Echo" banner, which offers R to SSR Stellaris. You can use Echo tickets or Diamonds to summon, with an SSR character guaranteed within 40 summons. Each summon also awards 20 echo points, and accumulating 2000 points allows you to summon a random SSR character from one of the four elemental banners (excluding Nebula). You can track this progress on the right side of the Echo system. The probabilities of recruiting different rarities of Stellaris are as follows:
- R Stellaris – 19.979% chance per individual R character
- SR Stellaris – 2.667% chance per individual SR character
- SSR Stellaris – 0.133% chance per individual SSR character
- SSR+ Stellaris – 0.010% chance per individual SSR+ character
