Worth pulling?
Current Phase 2 banner. Pull if you need a Cosmos DPS/buffer or already have a main carry; skip if you are saving for the expected June 4 version 1.1 banners.
Hotori is the current Phase 2 limited character in version 1.0, running from May 13 to June 3. PC Gamer lists her as an S-Class Cosmos DPS/buff character who uses a Solid-type Arc. Treat this page as a current-banner planning note, not a final settled ranking.
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 if you need a Cosmos DPS/buffer, like her playstyle, or have pity carried over from Nanally. Skip or wait if you still lack a clear main carry, because the expected June 4 version 1.1 banners will likely reset the conversation around pull priority.
