GUArchives (Gacha Universe Archives) is a content site for modern anime gacha. We write build guides, banner pull recommendations, weapon and gear optimization, and F2P viability analysis across the games we cover. That's it. No theorycrafting filler, no "ultimate" tier lists, no character-of-the-year hot takes. Numbers, math, verdicts.

Games we cover

• Honkai: Star Rail (HoYoverse)
• Genshin Impact (HoYoverse)
• Zenless Zone Zero (HoYoverse)
• Honkai Impact 3rd (HoYoverse)
• Wuthering Waves (Kuro Games)
• Reverse: 1999 (Bluepoch)
• Neverness to Everness (NetEase / Hotta Studio — at launch)

The list will expand as new games in the modern anime gacha space launch. We don't cover every gacha — only games where our editorial approach (math, F2P respect, no hype) has a clear audience.

How we cover the games

Every stat in an article is sourced from at least two independent places (official patch notes plus established resources — Prydwen, Game8, Hoyolab, Icy Veins, Honey Hunter, Mobalytics, game-specific community wikis). If only one source exists for a number, we flag it as a data gap and leave it out of the recommendation — we don't guess.

We write for adults who know how gacha games work. We won't explain what pity is in the introduction. We will tell you, in concrete terms, whether to pull or skip.

Our editorial position

• Anti-hype. No "you NEED this character." We say if you own X, pull; if you don't, skip.
• F2P-respectful. Every character article includes an explicit F2P viability section.
• Cost reality for spenders. If we recommend pulling, we tell you what it actually costs in real money for the average outcome — not the floor.
• No gambling encouragement. We don't sell pull excitement. The site does not use psychological pressure techniques common to gacha-promotion content.

How we make money

GUArchives is reader-supported. Specifically:

• Affiliate links. When you buy gift cards or game top-ups through links on this site, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. See our affiliate disclosure for details.
• Display ads (planned, once traffic permits).
• Optional reader support (planned — a paid tier that funds deeper content, calculators, interactive maps, and removes ads for supporters).

Sponsored content, when we run it, will be clearly marked as such. We will not present paid promotion as editorial recommendation.

Who runs this

GUArchives is operated by a single editor based in Australia. Contact us at hello@guarchives.com for editorial questions, corrections, or business inquiries.

Corrections

If you find a stat or recommendation that's wrong, email us. We'll correct the article and mark it with an "updated" date at the top. We don't silently rewrite content.
