Dive into the immersive world of *Scarlet Girls*, a brand-new Idle RPG that captivates with its 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 catastrophic events have mutated animals and birthed powerful beings that threaten human survival. As humanity's last hope, 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 walk you through the core game mechanics and game modes, helping you enhance your account's power and progression. Let's get started!
Understanding the Combat Mechanics of Scarlet Girls
The core gameplay of *Scarlet Girls* is designed for those who enjoy a more relaxed, idle approach to RPGs. The combat is turn-based, with all characters and enemies taking their turns based on their Speed stat. A full round concludes once everyone has acted. You can deploy up to five characters in battle, and the game's Quick Dispatch feature simplifies setting up your formations with your strongest characters at the forefront. Once your lineup is set, sit back and enjoy the visually stunning animations of each character's unique abilities.
In *Scarlet Girls*, your characters, known as "Stellaris," automatically utilize both active and passive abilities during combat. Each skill has a cooldown period, measured in turns, which adds a strategic layer to the game as you plan your squad's composition. The battles unfold in real-time, leaving no room for manual intervention, so the key to success lies in the strength and synergy of your deployed Stellaris.
Each Stellaris is categorized into one of four classes, each with its specific role and utility:
- Paladins – Boast the highest armor stat, acting as frontline defenders to absorb enemy attacks and shield their allies.
- Support – Stellaris with healing and supportive abilities, essential for sustaining your team from the backline.
- Devastator – Experts in dealing massive energy damage, designed to obliterate foes with their heavy firepower.
- Assaulter – Masters of bladed combat, these Stellaris excel at dealing physical damage to dismantle and defeat their enemies.
Echo – The Gacha System of Scarlet Girls
Recruiting Stellaris is facilitated through the game's gacha system, known as Echo. Stellaris come in varying rarities: R, SR, SSR, and SSR+, with higher rarities boasting better base stats and more potent abilities. At the global launch, the "Normal Echo" banner is your go-to for summoning R to SSR Stellaris. You can use Echo tickets or Diamonds to summon, and an SSR character is guaranteed within 40 attempts. Each summon also earns you 20 echo points, and accumulating 2000 points allows you to select a random SSR character from one of the four elemental banners (excluding Nebula). Keep an eye on your progress on the right side of the Echo system.
Here are the recruitment probabilities for each rarity:
- 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
