Understanding the Combat Mechanics of Scarlet Girls
The heart of *Scarlet Girls* is its idle-based combat system, perfect for players who enjoy a more relaxed gaming experience without the need for manual battle control. The game employs a turn-based system where actions are determined by each character's Speed stat. A round concludes once every ally and enemy has taken their turn. You can deploy up to five characters in a battle, and the Quick Dispatch feature helps by automatically setting your formations based on the strongest characters available. Once your team is set, you can sit back, relax, and watch the thrilling animations as your characters unleash their special abilities.
In *Scarlet Girls*, your characters, known as “Stellaris,” come equipped with powerful active and passive abilities that automatically activate during combat. These skills have cooldown timers, which means they're unavailable for a set number of turns after use. The key to success lies in crafting a synergistic squad of mecha girls capable of overcoming any enemy. The battles unfold in real-time, with no player intervention possible once the fight starts. Your strategic prowess is reflected in the strength and composition of your deployed team.
Each Stellaris is categorized into one of four classes, each with distinct roles and utilities:
- Paladins – Boast the highest armor stats, designed to soak up enemy attacks and protect their teammates.
- Support – Equipped with healing and supportive abilities, these Stellaris provide essential utility from the backline.
- Devastator – Specialize in heavy firepower, dealing devastating energy damage to enemies.
- Assaulter – Skilled in wielding bladed weapons, they focus on inflicting physical damage to dismantle and defeat their targets.
Echo – The Gacha System of Scarlet Girls
Recruiting Stellaris is facilitated through the game’s gacha system, known as “Echo.” Stellaris are available in various rarities: R, SR, SSR, and SSR+. The higher the rarity, the stronger the Stellaris, with better base stats in Attack, Defense, and HP, and more potent abilities that can turn the tide of battle when used strategically. At the global launch, the “Normal Echo” banner is available, allowing you to summon R to SSR Stellaris using Echo tickets or Diamonds. An SSR character is guaranteed after 40 summons, and each summon earns you 20 echo points. Accumulating 2000 points lets you summon a random SSR character from one of four elemental banners (excluding Nebula). You can monitor this progress on the right-hand side of the Echo system. The probabilities for recruiting different rarities are as follows:
- R Stellaris – 19.979% chance per individual R character
- SR Stellaris – 2.667% chance per individual SR character
- SSR Stellaris – 0.133% chance per individual SSR character
- SSR+ Stellaris – 0.010% chance per individual SSR+ character
