Film Guide

Core combat tags for formation and element planning.

Film (Dark Knight of Binding) is an SSR unit from Milesgard, rated B on the launch tier list. Available from premium gacha, pickup banners and the 12-SSR select pool (if SSR).

• Rarity — SSR; highest pull rate tier at 3% base SSR.
• Faction — Milesgard; see same-faction allies below for team-building ideas.
• Availability — Standard gacha pool.
• Tier snapshot — launch meta rates Film at B.
• Pull strategy — reasonable select-pool or premium target.

Film plays as a Front Dark unit with the Impact (衝撃) emblem. Front-line bruiser or tank who generates Impact when struck and holds aggro for the Back row. In auto-battle defense, slot Film on the Front line of your 10-unit formation — their epithet "Dark Knight of Binding" reflects a Milesgard kit built for endgame content.

• Formation slot — Front row; pair with 2–3 other Front units.
• Element coverage — Dark matches certain Calamity weaknesses; swap Film when defense element charts demand it.
• Emblem loop — Impact needs stacks — pair with generators (Wendy, Nina, Pico) or another Impact source.
• Skill priority — level Film's stance skills before off-element flex units; SSR skill scaling defines clear speed.
• Synergy — Milesgard allies listed below often share buff routes or aesthetic team themes.

Locate Film inside Dot Abyss through the standard roster menus. Japanese players know the unit as フィルム — search the character album if romanization differs.

• Formation screen — Frontline Base → Formation. Owned units show stance, element and emblem icons.
• Character album — greyed portrait means seen but not recruited; full color means owned.
• Gacha details — banner rate-up lists show whether the unit is currently featured.
• Wiki cross-ref — compare Film's stats table on this page with the full character database.
• Tavern roster — recruited girls appear here for bond and shift assignment.

Protect your investment in Film by understanding availability (Standard gacha pool) and spending materials only when the unit fits your 10-slot plan. SSR dupes and gear locks are expensive — confirm role before maxing.

• Availability lock-in — standard pool units can be duplicated over time.
• Account link — bind DMM after roster settles; unlinked saves are lost on device failure.
• Material funnel — feed SSR upgrade stones to Film only after Front/Back cores are covered.
• Gear locks — lock good stat rolls before foddering duplicate equipment.
• Reroll caution — account deletion wipes all progress; finish rerolling before investing bond gifts.

Completing Film's build means leveling skills, securing gear with the right stat rolls, and hitting bond milestones for permanent stat points. Film is a Dark / Front / Impact (衝撃) unit — every upgrade choice should reinforce that role.

Optimize Film for launch-week defense and idle clears. Rated B on the tier list — a solid roster piece with clear strengths and bench timing.

• Defense template — slot Film on Front; 3–4 Front total.
• Emblem meta — pair with Impact economy — see formation guide.
• Element swap — keep Film benched when Calamity element chart punishes Dark.
• Upgrade order — invest after S-tier cores are online.
• Next steps — compare with tier list and formation guide.
