The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin v1.8 Free Selector Guide

In The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin version 1.8, use your complimentary hero selector ticket to acquire a universal core support or a primary elemental carry that fills an absent combat role, and wait to redeem it until after you finish pulling on active banners. Prioritizing general utility or unrepresented elements allows your account to immediately capitalize on the nerfed Time-Space combat stages without risking a redundant duplicate.

Priority Order for the v1.8 Hero Selector

Before spending your ticket, audit your active squad to identify whether your team lacks offensive burst, elemental break capability, or sustain. Universal buffers provide the highest account value because they retain utility across multiple teams, while primary carries are best chosen to cover specific elemental gaps.

Hero Role	Priority	Account Benefit	When to Select
Core Support / Buffer	Highest	Team-wide attack boosts, energy recharge, and sustain	You lack universal buffers for end-game content
Primary Elemental Carry	High	Consistent elemental break and single-target burst	You lack an on-field lead for specific boss checks
Sub-DPS / Flex	Moderate	Off-field damage uptime and secondary crowd control	Your core carry and support units are already set
Direct Duplicate	Situational	Unlocks major breakthrough combat passives	A single copy unlocks a vital passive on your main DPS

Core Supports vs. Elemental Carries

A universal support is the safest choice for long-term progression. Supports that provide healing, shields, or attack scaling fit into various team compositions regardless of which damage dealer you deploy. Selecting a primary elemental carry is the preferred alternative only when your support roster is stable and you face hard progression stops caused by missing elemental weaknesses.

Choosing a duplicate is rarely optimal. Only consider a duplicate if your primary carry requires exactly one additional copy to unlock a critical breakthrough passive that substantially increases damage multipliers or ultimate skill uptime.

Essential Summoning Timing

Do not redeem your selector ticket before exhausting your summoning currency. If you plan to pull on rate-up banners such as Derieri or use standard summoning tickets in version 1.8, finish those summons first.

Spend all planned summoning tickets and currency on active banners.
Review your updated roster to confirm which roles remain unfilled.
Open the selector item and choose the unit that solves your remaining team deficiency.

Claiming a hero from the selector early creates a risk: pulling that same unit as an off-banner duplicate during subsequent summons eliminates the opportunity to secure a completely different foundational character.

Progressing Through Nerfed Time-Space Stages

The version 1.8 update significantly lowers enemy health pools, incoming damage, and enrage pressure across Time-Space combat stages. Stalled encounters that previously required high-end gear checks can now be cleared through elemental matching and active combat execution.

Target elemental breaks: Pair your newly acquired selector hero with the elemental weakness of the stalled stage to stagger boss targets quickly.
Run aggressive rotations: Because incoming boss damage is reduced, replace excessive defensive utility with offensive sub-DPS or buffer skills during burst windows.
Funnel upgrade materials: Concentrate your gold, skill books, and enhancement stones into your newly selected hero until they hit your current world rank cap, rather than splitting resources across several secondary units.

Clearing these newly accessible Time-Space milestones yields advanced ascension materials and enhancement currencies, accelerating character progression across your entire account.
