After writing a guide aimed at the free to play parts of Saint Seiya: Awakening, that we hope it has been useful for you to grow sparingly and without wasting resources, today we want to help you understand all, or almost all, of the characters in the title.
We realized in our different runs, that pulling and obtaining characters manages to put many users in difficulty, because week after week you risk having to transform your line-up.

In short, we try to provide you with all the basic information that can help you choose the saint to max out first or the one that costs you less in terms of resources and blue tomes. This list can also help you create new line-ups and combos to exploit within the game.
