Dive into the enchanting world of *Scarlet Girls*, a brand-new Idle RPG that introduces you to a squad of technologically enhanced mecha waifus known as "Stellaris." Set in the 119th year of the Old Euro Calendar, the game's backdrop is a world ravaged by catastrophes that have mutated animals and spawned powerful beings, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. As one of the last hopes for humanity, your mission is to recruit and train these 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 essential for enhancing your account's power and progression. Let's get started!
Understanding the Combat Mechanics of Scarlet Girls
*Scarlet Girls* offers a fully Idle combat system, perfect for players seeking a casual gaming experience without the need for manual battle control. The game unfolds in a turn-based format, where actions are determined by each character's Speed stat. A round concludes once all allies and enemies have taken their turns. You can deploy up to five characters in battle, and features like Quick Dispatch simplify the process by automatically setting your formations based on the strength of your characters. Once your squad is set, you can sit back and enjoy the visually stunning animations that accompany each character's special abilities.
Your characters, referred to as "Stellaris," come equipped with powerful active and passive abilities that automatically trigger during combat. Each skill has a cooldown period, resetting after a specified number of turns. The key to success lies in crafting synergistic squads of mecha girls to efficiently tackle enemies. Combat occurs in real-time, and while players cannot directly intervene, strategic planning in character selection and squad formation is crucial.
Each Stellaris is categorized into one of four classes, each with distinct roles:
- Paladins – Boast the highest armor stats, serving as frontline defenders to absorb enemy attacks and protect their teammates.
- Support – Specialize in healing and supportive abilities, providing essential utility from the backline.
- Devastator – Experts in dealing massive energy damage, designed to obliterate enemies with heavy firepower.
- Assaulter – Skilled in using bladed weapons, focused on delivering lethal physical damage to dismantle and defeat foes.
Echo – The Gacha System of Scarlet Girls
Recruitment of Stellaris is facilitated through the game's gacha system, known as Echo. Stellaris are available in different rarities: R, SR, SSR, and SSR+. Higher rarity Stellaris possess superior base stats (Attack, Defense, HP) and more potent abilities, significantly impacting your gameplay strategy. At the global launch, the "Normal Echo" banner is available, offering R to SSR Stellaris. Players can use Echo tickets or Diamonds to summon characters, with an SSR 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. The recruitment probabilities are as follows:
- R Stellaris – 19.979% chance for each individual R character
- SR Stellaris – 2.667% chance for each individual SR character
- SSR Stellaris – 0.133% chance for each individual SSR character
- SSR+ Stellaris – 0.010% chance for each individual SSR+ character
