Dive into the world of *Scarlet Girls*, a brand-new Idle RPG that introduces you to an all-girl squad of technologically enhanced mecha waifus. Set in the 119th year of the Old Euro Calendar, the game unfolds in a world where mutated animals and powerful beings have pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. As one of humanity's last hopes, 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 that will enhance your account's power and progression. Let's get started!
Understanding the Combat Mechanics of Scarlet Girls
The heart of *Scarlet Girls* lies in its Idle-based combat system, perfect for players who prefer a more relaxed gaming experience without the need for manual battles. The game operates on a turn-based system where the sequence of actions is 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 the game offers a convenient feature called Quick Dispatch, which automatically arranges your team based on the strongest characters available. Once your team is set, you can sit back and enjoy the visually stunning animations that accompany each character's special abilities.
In *Scarlet Girls*, your characters, known as "Stellaris," come equipped with both active and passive abilities that they use automatically during combat. Each skill has a cooldown period, measured in turns, before it can be used again. Crafting a synergistic squad of mecha girls is key to overcoming your enemies. The battles unfold in real-time, leaving no room for player intervention during the fight. The strategy hinges on the strength of your deployed characters and the strategic line-ups you create to maximize their potential.
Each Stellaris is categorized into one of four classes, each with unique roles and utilities:
- Paladins – Boast the highest armor stats, acting as frontline defenders to absorb enemy attacks and protect their teammates.
- Support – Equipped with healing and supportive abilities, these Stellaris provide essential utility from the backline.
- Devastator – Masters of heavy firepower, these Stellaris are designed to deal massive energy damage to enemies.
- Assaulter – Skilled in close combat with bladed weapons, these Stellaris excel at dealing physical damage to dismantle and defeat their foes.
Echo – The Gacha System of Scarlet Girls
Recruiting Stellaris is facilitated through the game's gacha system, known as Echo. Stellaris come in various rarities: R, SR, SSR, and SSR+. The higher the rarity, the stronger the Stellaris, thanks to higher base stats in Attack, Defense, and HP. Higher rarity Stellaris also possess more potent abilities that can significantly influence the outcome of battles when used strategically. The Echo system is your gateway to acquiring new and powerful Stellaris.
At the global launch, the "Normal Echo" banner is available, offering R to SSR Stellaris. Players can use Echo tickets or Diamonds to summon on this banner, with a guaranteed SSR character 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). You can track your progress on the right-hand side of the Echo system. The probabilities of recruiting different rarities of Stellaris 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
