NTE S-Class Selector Guide: Current Boxes and Roster Gaps
Identify which selector you actually own, distinguish Puka rewards from the expired Summer Special, and choose a character for a concrete team need.
First identify the box
A “selector” is not one universal offer. Open the item or event reward preview and record its eligible list, claim deadline and unlock requirement. Standard-character boxes do not automatically include a current limited unit.
Hotta and Perfect World’s October 16 announcement says the Puka Membership Program opens after City Tycoon Level 16 and includes two S-Class Standard Character Selection Boxes and one S-Class Standard Arc Selection Box among its rewards. Opening the program does not mean every milestone reward is immediately claimable. Inspect the actual progress track and each box’s roster.
A historical selector with a different deadline
The official Version 1.2 notice described Summer Special from July 8 to August 19, with Sakiri, Baicang, Hathor, Fadia, Daffodill and Jiuyuan as character choices. That promotion is over on October 18. Its eligibility list is not proof that a different box has the same choices.
Prydwen’s original free-character guide also records a standard-board selector after 50 pulls. Keep that progression reward separate from time-limited event boxes.
Choose the job your team lacks
| Missing job | Candidate to inspect if eligible | What changes the decision |
|---|---|---|
| Grouping / Incantation support | Sakiri | Short field time, team buffs and Scorch DoT utility; boss control has limitations. |
| Chaos and Break play | Daffodill | Support-driven quickswaps and parry opportunities; a missed parry does not refill Ultimate. |
| Blossom / off-field Anima | Jiuyuan | Pact marks and Vita Bud enhancement; team healing requires the relevant A2 effect. |
| Damage redirection | Fadia | Protects teammates by taking damage herself; watch her own HP and recovery. |
| Incantation damage | Baicang | Power Word HP management and enemy-health execute; does not reward reducing himself to 5% HP. |
| Lakshana route | Hathor, if present | Completes a different Cycle route; read the current kit and your existing coverage before choosing. |
These are role questions, not a new damage ranking. The dated character guides link original theorycrafting and operating conditions. A character you enjoy and will actually equip can be a better choice than an unused high-tier duplicate.
New character or another copy?
Write down the exact Awakening effect the duplicate enables. Jiuyuan’s A2 healing can alter a sustain plan; an ordinary numerical damage increase may not solve an incomplete reaction route. If no specific effect is needed, compare the value of a new role before claiming.
The box’s displayed expiration decides whether waiting is possible. Do not delay past it while chasing an unannounced rerun, and do not spend additional currency solely to imitate an old selector checklist.
