Players are able to obtain Cestina, the sub-attacker in Grand Summoners, through the gacha system; however, it can take time as she is a five-star unit.
Grand Summoners is a very popular role-playing game (RPG) with intuitive and exciting battles. The game launched worldwide in 2018, and it continues to attract RPG enthusiasts and beginners alike. The game combines smooth two-dimensional (2D) anime-style graphics with hosts of colourful characters for players to collect.
Since the game is based on a gacha system, players need to roll to obtain characters. New players will have the opportunity to roll for free when they start playing the game. However, veteran players may have to purchase tokens with real-life money to roll for characters.
If players are unhappy with the characters they obtained, they are able to re-roll for a chance to get better characters. However, if players wish to re-roll, they will need to reset their game data. The units in Grand Summoners are ranked by stars. Five-star characters are the rarest and usually the most sought-after, while one-star units are quite common and very easy to obtain.
After obtaining a character, players will be able to progress through the main story and participate in battles. While completing the main quests, players can also collect various resources and earn a lot of experience points (XP). If players obtain enough XP, they will be able to move on to the next rank.
It is important to note that each rank up will replenish the character’s energy. Players need the energy resources to participate in the in-game activities. However, this does not apply to new players. Grand Summoners reduces the energy cost of the main story battles to zero for the first few days. Players will thus be able to save their energy for later in the game.
While progressing through the main storyline, players will come across various side quests. Even though the side quests are not mandatory, players can receive a variety of rewards such as equipment for their units. It is also recommended that players maintain a balanced team of characters to complete the main storyline and the side quest.
Grand Summoners currently features over 100 characters that players can collect. The units are divided into five distinct categories based on their roles in combat. Players are thus able to obtain Healers, Breakers, Supporters, Attackers and Defenders.
The following table indicates the unit categories as well as a description of each category:
| Category name | Description |
| Support | Support units boost the team’s offense and defence with buffs. They are also able to weaken and inflict effects on the enemies. |
| Defenders | Defenders have amazing defensive abilities, not only for themselves but for the entire party. They are crucial in though battles, where the need for survival exceeds the desire for a rapid victory. |
| Attackers | Attackers are expected to deal the most damage to the boss and enemy mobs. It is important to note that they do not have defensive skills and require protection from support allies. |
| Healers | Healers are vital units as they keep the team alive. Even though they are not crucial in early game, they will be needed for higher level fights. |
| Breakers | Breakers are very similar to Attackers. They are also able to deal a decent amount of damage to enemies. |
Cestina
Cestina is the second princess of the Gran Verge Kingdom. She is renowned for her skill with a sword, and her love for her citizens. When Cestina wields her sword, it is always for somebody else’s sake as she would never hurt someone for her own gain.
Cestina is a five-star unit that players are able to obtain in Grand Summoners. She forms part of the Earth element and takes on a Sub-attacker role. Players are able to evolve her into Awoken Cestina if they wish to do so. It is believed that Cestina is the strongest unit in the game due to her arts, passive skills, skills and abilities.
