Is Merlin Worth Pulling in Seven Deadly Sins Origin?

Merlin is worth pulling if she gives your Version 1.5 account a real role upgrade. If she is only a prestige pull and your diamonds are thin, protect pity first.

Pull If

  • Merlin fixes a current team, raid, or progression gap
  • You can still keep enough diamonds for the next known banner cycle
  • Your account benefits from a flexible SSR more than from saving for a future carry

Save If

Save if Merlin is mostly a collection pull on your account, or if your larger problem is still basic progression, weak gear, low pity security, or missing stable raid preparation.

Fast Decision Matrix

  • New account + no clear core: compare Merlin against beginner-team needs first
  • Stable account + low diamonds: saving usually wins unless Merlin solves a specific role
  • Raid-focused account: Merlin value depends on whether she improves weekly reliability

Current-Version Questions

  • Does Merlin help you clear or stabilize Version 1.5 content now?
  • Are you pulling because she solves a role, or because she is the newest SSR?
  • Would skipping Merlin leave your account functional for Raid and weekly rewards?
