Digest Apr 1

Welcome to the first issue of the Dx2 Digest, where we try to summarize the upcoming week into one article! All times and dates mentioned are in JPT.

• Issue: 1
• Date: 2021/04/15 - 2021/04/23

Featured Banner

Tenma banner is getting a rerun this week, featuring a special step-up that offers a random Tenma at Step 10.

Featured Demons: Asura Lord, Indrajit, Yama, Asura, Mahakala

Verdict: 9,000 gems for a random Tenma isn't really the best deal, as they have wildly different niches. Asura for example is nigh unusable in PVP, while Asura Lord is not very useful for Democalypse. If you really want a Tenma, we recommend waiting until the upcoming 3.5 Anniversary, as they have featured 9,000 gem Tenma Banners twice now, with a Tenma Selector at the end where you can actually pick which Tenma you want.
