Quick Answer
Equipment Priority Table
| Priority | Equipment | Rating | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jackpot | Blue Steel Machine Lance | SS tier | 3-star ice-attribute spear with arrow-type adventure skills. Low 4-gauge special deploys auto-targeting turrets. Adventure skill fires up to 6 piercing ice arrows. One of the strongest weapons in the current pool. |
| Bonus | Blue Steel Machine Helm | A (armor) | Ice damage + bonuses, machine-type damage bonuses, and physical damage boosts. Best helmet for ice builds in this banner. |
| Bonus | Blue Steel Machine Armor Top | A (armor) | Ice/physical damage bonuses and machine-type resistance. Strong body armor for survival. |
| Bonus | Blue Steel Machine Armor Bottom | A (armor) | Ice/physical damage bonuses and machine-type resistance. Completes the set bonus direction. |
The lance is the only piece that justifies deep gem spending. Armor is nice-to-have; do not chase armor at the cost of your gem plan.

New 3-star ice-attribute spear with turret special
When to pull
- Your account lacks Blue Steel Machine Lance.
- You want a high-value ice spear and this banner is still visible.
- You need ice coverage and do not already have a strong ice carry.
- You are rerolling and want one of the safest keeper weapons.
When to save
- You already own Blue Steel Machine Lance.
- Your gems are committed to another banner with higher personal priority.
- You already have strong ice coverage from other sources.
Where it shines
Blue Steel Machine Lance performs best in the Machine Ruins quest, against Takeyari Hei, and in Super Monster Rush. Its fixed turret special excels in long battles and stationary content, while the arrow adventure skill provides strong mob clear. The low 4-gauge cost enables high special rotation, making it versatile across both single-target and multi-target scenarios.
Stop Line
| Stop line | Use it when | Stop after |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | You need a top-tier ice carry | Blue Steel Machine Lance appears |
| Comfortable | You want the weapon + useful armor | Lance + 1-2 armor pieces appear |
| Full coverage | You are a collector with a high gem ceiling | Weapons + useful armor pieces, with a hard ceiling |
| Free pulls only | You already have the lance and low gems | All free tickets and vouchers are used |
Do not convert one stop line into the next mid-session. If you hit your target weapon, stop and play. Armor alone is not worth chasing.
Reroll Value
| Reroll target | Keep or reset? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Steel Machine Lance | Strong keep | Top-tier SS weapon, best ice spear, excellent for Machine Ruins and Super Monster Rush |
| Lance + any useful armor | Strong keep | You have a carry and bonus survival gear |
| Only armor pieces | Usually reset | Armor does not replace a carry weapon for early account direction |
| No strong 3-star weapon | Reset if the account is fresh | A weak start is easier to reroll than to rescue |

FAQ
Should I pull on the Killer Machine banner?
Yes, if the banner is still visible and you do not already own Blue Steel Machine Lance. The lance is rated top-tier SS ice spear. If you need lightning whip instead, look at Calberobeute; if you need fire claw, look at Dragon Killer.
Is Blue Steel Machine Lance the best weapon in the banner?
Yes. Blue Steel Machine Lance is the only jackpot prize in this banner. It is rated SS tier overall with strong reroll value. Its low 4-gauge turret special and up-to-6-arrow adventure skill make it one of the strongest weapons in the game.
Should I chase the Killer Machine armor set?
No. The armor pieces are useful but secondary. They provide ice and physical damage bonuses, but they are not worth deep pulling for. Treat matching armor as a bonus if it appears while pulling for the lance.
Is Blue Steel Machine Lance worth pulling as a new player?
Yes, when you want an ice spear start. Blue Steel Machine Lance is top-tier SS and a strong reroll target with excellent long-term value. If you prefer lightning whip or fire claw, compare those currently visible banners first.
Where do I get free Killer Machine banner tickets?
Exchange 10 tickets via event omamori stones in the Wandering Merchant event shop, and earn 10 tickets from cumulative points in the Takeyari Hei strong enemy match.
How does Killer Machine banner compare to Ryuuou?
Both headline weapons can be top-tier SS, but they solve different jobs. Blue Steel Machine Lance is ice spear; Ryuuou Staff is fire magic. Prefer Killer Machine when you need ice spear coverage and that banner is still visible.
