To recruit UR Alina in Echocalypse: Scarlet Covenant, budget between 50 and 80 pulls for a base 0-star copy, or commit 250 to 400 summons if you need high-tier breakthrough passives for competitive content. Stop summoning the moment you hit your target star rank or accumulate enough event shop shards to complete the promotion.
Expected Pull Yields Across 400 Summons
On a limited UR banner, summon yield depends on base draw probability, pity triggers, and duplicate bio-shard accumulation. Pity provides a safety net against bad luck, while milestone currency earned with every pull lets you buy Alina shards directly from the event shop.
| Summon Range | Typical Duplicate Yield | Targeted Breakthrough Milestone |
|---|---|---|
| 50–80 Summons | 0–1 Copy | Base Unlock (0-Star) / Soft Pity Trigger |
| 150–200 Summons | 1–2 Copies | 1-Star to 2-Star Breakthrough |
| 250–300 Summons | 2–3 Copies | 3-Star Skill Tier Upgrade |
| 350–400 Summons | 3–5 Copies + Shards | 4-Star to 5-Star Combat Power Spike |
Off-banner SSR Cases also appear during extended summon runs. You can convert unwanted off-banner SSR duplicates into bio-chips for general account progression while focusing your limited draw contracts on Alina.
Base Copy vs. High Breakthrough Breakpoints
Alina functions as a dedicated support Case, but her overall impact depends on the breakthrough tier you unlock:
- Base Unlock (0-Star, 50–80 Summons): Alina provides team healing, status cleansing, and rage acceleration out of the box. Free-to-play and budget players should stop here. This baseline kit is strong enough to replace older SSR supports in standard PvE missions and general boss encounters without draining your future Iridite reserves.
- Mid Breakthrough (3-Star, 250–300 Summons): Upgrades skill tiers and significantly scales her protective shields and healing percentages. This milestone improves squad durability if you are hitting damage walls in high-level PvE.
- Max Investment (4-Star to 5-Star, 350–400 Summons): Unlocks vital defensive passives that trigger when an ally drops below specific health thresholds. This level of investment is primarily suited for competitive PvP Arena and advanced Cage of Despair stages.
When to Pull for Alina vs. Saving
Support units usually stay relevant longer than pure damage dealers, making Alina a dependable long-term roster addition. However, decide your spending based on current squad bottlenecks:
- Pull 50 to 80 times or skip if your squad already has fully built support units with heavy star investments. Extra support capabilities cannot clear stages if your team lacks the burst damage required to beat encounter enrage timers.
- Invest 250 to 400 summons if your squad consistently fails survival checks against high-burst bosses or suffers from rage starvation during long fights.
Rules for Summoning on Limited UR Banners
Follow these rules during your summon session to prevent wasted resources:
- Never summon with fewer than 80 pulls available. Pulling without enough currency to reach pity risks leaving the banner empty-handed if luck fails.
- Check your event shard inventory frequently. Check the event shop balance after every 10-pull batch. Continuing to pull when you already have enough mileage to purchase the remaining shards needed for a star promotion wastes contracts.
- Never stop between major star tiers. If you reach a target rank like 3-star but lack the resources to push all the way to 4-star, stop immediately. Partial progress toward the next tier locks up currency without providing an immediate combat power upgrade.
