Is Before the Tutorial Mission Starts Worth It?

Great F2P Light Cone

Before the Tutorial Mission Starts can easily be obtained and superimposed as long as you participated in the Starhunt Game event. The massive Effect Hit Rate bonus Before the Tutorial Mission Starts provides makes it Pela's best in slot Light Cone.

It can also be said that if you're building Silver Wolf purely as a support, Before the Tutorial Mission Starts is the best F2P Light Cone for her. The Effect Hit Rate bonus that an S1 Incessant Rain provides is significantly smaller compared to an S5 Before the Tutorial Mission Starts!
