Should you pull?
YES, if you're building an all-Fire team and like this costume. The kit is identical to the original Rei Ayanami, so combat value is the same: a strong wide-AoE Burst and high Shield damage from Skill 2. If you already own the original Rei Ayanami, treat this mainly as a cosmetic choice rather than added team power.

Skill Investment Priority
Suggested skill roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 4/4/4 → 4/4/8 → 4/8/10 → 10/10/10. Why: the kit matches the original Rei Ayanami, so the same order applies — Burst has the biggest impact, Skill 2's Burst-3 ATK buff follows, and Skill 1 needing 100 normal attacks is last.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- Burst creates a shield, buffs the Fire team's ATK, and hits every enemy for 990.2% final ATK — same as the original.
- Skill 2 gives extremely high 700.5% Shield damage.

Weaknesses
