▍ZZZ Astra Yao Pull Priority
Astra Yao is already fully functional at M0S0, able to fully utilize her excellent support abilities. However, if you have the budget for two pity pulls, I recommend first enhancing her Mindscape Cinemas (M1, M2, M6) before considering whether to pull for her signature weapon.
The key Mindscape Cinemas for Astra Yao are M1, M2, and M6. M1 provides a -18% debuff to all attribute resistances, allowing her to activate her ultimate skill from the start and provide an invincible shield for her teammates. M2 offers a 400 Attack buff, which reduces the pressure of her development, with the maxed out attack stat dropping from 3429 to 2963.
If you have enough resources to unlock M6, Astra Yao will unleash her full potential, becoming a powerful asset on the battlefield with strong offensive output.
Pull Recommendation: M0S0 > M1S0 > M1S1 > M2S1 > M6S1
