Next rerun: Nov 2026 at the earliest estimate · every banner through Nov 11, 2026 is confirmed without Saria; the rhythm pointed at Nov 2021 · in AK a unit's first rerun comes 285 days after the run before (35 on record, last two years; middle half 166–364) — past that now.
Confirmed dates come from the official calendar and notices; rumoured and beta rows sit on the cadence projection; CN rows are shifted by the measured global lag; rows from the wiki history carry the day, not the hour. Sources last checked .

How far to invest
Saria is the classic example of "no easy Mastery choice but all of them". She has three very strong skills that have variously been the best choices over time. It's a great example of the role compression that makes Guardians so powerful, and she impressively manages to maintain her value even with a mostly direct powercreep! It all makes Saria one of the more valuable Kernel units, and a potential M9 candidate even in the modern game. Of course, that's a lot of investment for a non-DPS unit and she isn't as insane as she used to be either, so there's plenty of room for nuance. There isn't really a clear order with Saria anymore, so we'll go through her skills one by one. Her S1 has historically been her better general skill. It follows the pattern of typical Guardian S1s, but with her high stats, can sustain very well. However, it's also the skill most easily replaced by her competition, Shu. Of course, Shu is a limited though, so Saria's S1 can absolutely still be a viable choice. As with the other Guardian S1s, it has a breakpoint at S1M1 that reduces her SP cost and a valuable M3 that adds an extra charge. If you don't have Shu then this would be a strong starting point. Nex
