Starting a new gacha game always raises the same question: should you reroll for the best characters right away, or just enjoy what you get? In The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, the answer is more nuanced than a simple yes or no. The game's low SSR rates and flexible character kits make this decision genuinely interesting, and this guide breaks down exactly what you need to know before spending time on multiple account resets.
When Should You Reroll?
The only scenario that justifies rerolling is pulling Guila from a premium banner. Since Guila is handed out for free during the launch celebration period, landing her from a gacha pull is essentially a wasted SSR slot. If you hit Guila on a rate-up banner, that's a reasonable reason to start fresh.
For every other SSR character in the pool, the flexibility of 7DS Origin's weapon system means almost any pull gives you real, usable value.

Every SSR character in the standard pool brings unique utility depending on which weapon you equip. A "bad" pull is rarely as bad as it seems once you understand the weapon-swap system.
How to Reroll in 7DS Origin
If you do decide to reroll, the process takes roughly 20 to 25 minutes per attempt to reach the point where you can perform around 40 summons. Here's the exact flow:
- Start the game and play through the prologue chapter, where Tristan and Tioreh discover the Book of Stars in the ancient caves.
- Continue until the gacha tutorial unlocks, which rewards you with Slader as your third free character.
- Keep progressing the story until you reach Liones City, where the mail feature becomes available.
- Open your mail and collect all free pull currencies.
- Head to the Draw menu, select your banner, and use your Tickets or Star Fragments to summon.
Keep in mind that a 10x multi-pull costs 3,000 Star Fragments. At launch, free mail rewards include 15x Regular Draw Tickets (from pre-registration rewards and a code) plus 10x Rate-Up Hero Draw Tickets.

What Are the Best Characters to Reroll For?
If you're committed to rerolling, knowing which characters justify the effort is essential. The weapon system in 7DS Origin dramatically shifts each character's role, so the same unit can function as a tank, healer, or DPS depending on their loadout.
Meliodas
Meliodas is the launch rate-up banner character, and his flexibility makes him the top reroll target. Equipping him with a Longsword or Axe turns him into a strong DPS, while switching to Dual Swords converts him into a healer. That kind of role flexibility in a single unit is rare and valuable, especially early in the game when your roster is thin.
Jericho
Jericho is one of the highest raw damage dealers at launch. Her kit revolves around inflicting Freeze on enemies, which incapacitates them and lets your team deal damage freely. Her best weapons allow her to teleport behind enemies and land massive critical hits. She can also swap into a shielding role when your team needs protection.
Diane
Diane (the Serpent's Sin of Envy) is built around a unique mechanic: her damage scales off her Defense stat, letting her hit hard while also absorbing punishment. With an Axe, she can stun enemies. Switching to Gauntlets adds a taunt effect. Equipping a Cudgel unlocks her full tank potential, giving her access to taunts, team shields, and healing simultaneously. Having Diane in your party makes surviving difficult content significantly easier.
King
King adapts to almost any team composition. Depending on his weapon, he can function as a DPS, a healer and barrier provider, or a buffer for Earth-type allies. His versatility rivals Meliodas, making him a strong pull on any account.
Elaine
Elaine shines specifically in Earth-type team compositions. With the right weapon, she can petrify enemies, which stuns them and grants a 100% damage bonus against petrified targets for Earth-based teams. That bonus is enormous and makes her a priority if you're building toward an Earth team.
info
Manny and Drake are weaker in combat but provide permanent exploration benefits. Manny reveals Star Fragments on the mini-map, and Drake shows treasure chest locations. You only need to own them once for these effects to activate account-wide, even without them in your active party.
Should You Reroll?
Unless you land Guila from a premium banner (the one character you'll get for free anyway), keeping your first account is the smarter play. Every SSR in 7DS Origin brings genuine utility, and the weapon system ensures that even characters without obvious "meta" labels can fill critical team roles. Spending 20 to 25 minutes per reset for a 0.8 percent SSR rate with no guarantee of hitting your target character is a tough value proposition.
If you're a dedicated fan of a specific character and want them from day one, or if you're unlucky enough to pull Guila from a banner, go ahead and reset. Otherwise, invest that time into actually playing the game and building your roster naturally.
