This is something I've noticed, but I wanted to ask - what qualifier should be given to non-gacha characters who receive skins in gacha game crossovers?
I'm personally familiar with the fact that Elphelt Valentine and Kizuna Ai have gacha skin tags which use the qualifier of the game from which the skin came from - Elphelt Valentine (Doll Annihilator) (Girls' Frontline), Elphelt Valentine (Magnum Wedding) (Girls' Frontline), Kizuna Ai (Festive) (Azur Lane), and Kizuna Ai (Future Notes) (SMC). However, the DoA characters that crossed over with Azur Lane have the qualifiers from the series that the characters came from - Honoka (Summer Angel on the Shore) (DoA), Kasumi (Springside Mist) (DoA), Tamaki (Venus Shower Time) (DoA), and Luna (Venus of the Beach) (DoA). There's probably more example of either/or, but regardless, my point is that this doesn't appear to be standardized (and this isn't accounting for collab skins where neither option is mentioned, ex. Reisalin Stout (Late Night Alchemist) or Shirakami Fubuki (Beachside Fox)).
Of course, the DoA characters all originally had qualifiers on their base tags too, so by standard procedure they should inherit those for these tags, but should that approach of "use qualifier from character's copytag" be used in general instead of "use qualifier from skin's copytag"? Should characters without qualifiers be given qualifiers to begin with? Or should we just nuke these in general, and stick with the traditional "search chartag collab_copytag
instead" approach?
