Starting fresh in Genesis War feels exciting for about ten minutes… and then the banners hit you with that classic gacha dilemma. Do you go all in now, or play it smart?
This is one of those games where a good start doesn’t just make things easier, it actually saves you weeks of frustration later. So instead of wasting pulls or rerolling blindly, here’s how to approach it like someone who already learned the hard way.
Genesis War Reroll Guide – Best Units & Smart Pulling Tips
The biggest mistake people make early is dumping all their pulls immediately.
Don’t do that.
The smarter way to handle rerolling:
- Pull once or twice after finishing the tutorial
- Use your special summon
- Stop there and evaluate
The reason is simple. You want to build pity on the character banner, not waste it on random pulls.
Even off-banner pulls still contribute toward pity, so every summon should move you closer to something valuable.
If your first few pulls don’t hit anything useful, reroll. If they do, lock the account and start saving.
Must Pull Units
These are the units that genuinely change how your account performs early and mid-game.
Landam
Right now, this is the unit you want above everything else.
- Top-tier debuffer and buffer
- Strong damage output on top of utility
- Fits into almost every team
If you pull Landam early, your reroll is basically done.
Nina
You get her as a free 6-star later, but you still want at least one copy.
- Best healer in the game currently
- SR rarity, so easier to obtain
- Essential for long fights and progression
Skipping her early just delays your stability.
Saki
Another free 6-star, but still important to pull once.
- Ninja class is required for certain stages
- Very efficient and versatile
- R rarity, so not hard to get
Think of Saki as a requirement, not a luxury.
Units You Should Always Use
Iolin
The game hands you a fully upgraded 6-star version.
- Strong early carry
- Doesn’t need investment to perform
- Saves you resources
And most importantly:
Do not pull for her. You already get everything you need.
Highly Recommended Units
These are the units that make your life easier, but your account doesn’t depend on them.
Kana
- Best ranged DPS for bosses
- Gets significantly stronger at 4-star+
- Works well even at base
If you plan to push boss content early, she’s a great pickup.
Catherine
- One of the best tanks right now
- Can shift into a debuffer role
- Extremely flexible in PvE
If you like adaptable units, she’s worth prioritizing.
Durant
- Pure tank focused on survival
- Keeps your team alive in tougher stages
Between Catherine and Durant, pick one. You don’t need both early.
Recommended Units
These units perform well, but aren’t account-defining.
Beradin
- Strong mage
- Works across multiple content types
Sharn
- Top-tier melee DPS
- Especially strong in PvP
Crow
- Solid pick over Karl
- More consistent performance overall
Gishne
- Generates TP for your team
- Needs 5-star investment to really shine
Whale Units (Skip If You’re F2P)
These units look powerful, but they need heavy investment to justify their value.
Diablo
- Requires high weapon upgrades (3-star minimum, 5-star ideal)
- PvP focused
- Not worth it for low spenders
Jane
- Strong boss killer
- Needs multiple dupes and weapon copies
Hanzo
- Strong, but only outperforms Saki at high investment
- Not worth replacing a free 6-star early
Best Free & Low Rarity Units
Some of these units carry harder than expected.
G.S.
- Good boss debuffer
- Easy to slot into early teams
Haya
- Surprisingly strong mage
- Works well even compared to some higher rarity units
- Great synergy with Kana
Kevin
- Reliable early tank
- Solid fallback if you don’t pull a top-tier tank
Erich
- Alternative to Landam
- Useful if you miss your main target
Locarno
- Not amazing early
- Might become important for future content
If you’re thinking long-term, he’s worth keeping.
