Sword and Staff:Is Cabbage Dog Worth Pulling or Skip?

Sword and Staff has officially welcomed the Vegetable Fairy Part 2 collab, and one question is on everybody's lips: should you pull for that adorably ridiculous Cabbage Dog phantom, or walk away? The event gives out 60+ wheel tickets, so pity is within reach — though that's no reason to burn through all of them. So let's settle it once and for all, right here.

The Cabbage Dog Phantom — What Is It, Exactly?

Before anything else, it helps to know exactly what the Cabbage Dog is. This event's roulette wheel puts it front and center as the headline phantom, and among all the phantoms in the game, it's easily one of the cutest. But let's not kid ourselves: looking adorable doesn't win battles. So what does it actually bring to the table? Time to find out.

Cabbage Dog Skills

Sleep debuff – puts enemies to sleep
Healing – gives you some sustain
Taunt – 50% chance to inflict taunt

For newcomers, the utility it offers looks genuinely solid on paper. Once you're actually in combat, though, mythic phantoms leave it far behind.

Why Skipping the Cabbage Dog Makes Sense

Most players will be better off skipping, and here's why.

You're Never Gonna Use It Over a Mythic Phantom

Here's the big one. If you just started playing, sure, the Cabbage Dog may serve a purpose briefly. Outside of that narrow window, though, it simply never wins out against a mythic phantom. And by the time Season 2 or Season 3 comes around, a mythic already in your collection will outclass it completely.

Wheel Tickets Carry Over

Above all else, remember this: wheel tickets carry over between events. Not spending them right now doesn't mean losing them. The same holds for mystery coins and clothing coins—every one of these currencies remains available for the next event. Holding back isn't waste, then; it's an investment.

Save Them for a Phantom That Fits Your Class

Skip the collectible and use your wheel tickets on a companion that truly suits your build:

Sage: HP%, Crit Res%, and DPS

DPS: Damage Boost% plus Accuracy%

Tank: Defense% and Block Rate%

A phantom with stats that match your class delivers far more value to your account than any cute dog ever will.

Why the Cabbage Dog Is Worth Pulling

Still, a handful of scenarios exist where pulling is a completely reasonable move.

You're a Collector

For anyone aiming to complete their phantom collection, the Cabbage Dog makes a fine addition—its cute looks help it stand out, and collectors need no further reason than that. If you're free-to-play and don't spend on wheel tickets, though, it's a luxury purchase, not a practical one. Adorable? Yes. A collectible? Definitely. A power upgrade? No.

You're Brand New

New players who lack a mythic phantom can rely on the Cabbage Dog as a temporary option. It won't last you forever, but it can ease your way through the early game until a better pull comes along.

You've Got Tickets to Spare

When you've stockpiled a ton of wheel tickets and have no particular target, there's no harm in pulling. Just keep your expectations realistic.

How Many Wheel Tickets Does This Event Provide?

After the Leo Tiani Vocaloid event gained its reputation for stinginess, Vegetable Fairy Part 2 feels quite generous with wheel tickets—a point worth remembering.

The breakdown works out like this:

Pity is fully covered if you gather 38 wheel tickets through stage mode progression, spend Veggie Shop currency to buy 8 wheel tickets, hit Time Attack milestones for 700 shop currency, and collect Extra wheel tickets from sign-in rewards. Add those together and the sum reaches ≥ 60+ wheel tickets — exactly the amount required to trigger pity.

Outside of the Leo Tiani event, that 60-ticket standard has held every single time — a welcome sign that the game is finally back on track.

Final Call: Pull, or Skip?

That said, this writer genuinely adores the Cabbage Dog, so grabbing it is a no-brainer for me. If your resources are earmarked for a meta phantom, though, then sure — skip it.

The short version: Vegetable Fairy Part 2 lands as a solid event thanks to generous free rewards, and the wheel ticket economy has settled back at its normal 60. Adorable as the Cabbage Dog is and fun as the cosmetics may be, it's the eggplant outfit that's the true prize worth chasing.
