Gacha system mechanics explained

The gacha system has 120 guarantee rate-up with no pity carry-over. Standard 80 pity 50/50 with no guarantee, but pity DOES carry over. Weapon rate-ups have harsh 25% chance (not 75%). After 30 pulls, you get a free 10-pull on the current banner that doesn't count toward pity. Arsenal tickets (for weapons) can be acquired with oroberyl currency. The system is intentionally complex with sunk cost mechanics designed to encourage continued pulling.

Single Pull vs Ten Pull Strategy

Single pulling consistently over long periods can result in significant pull savings (221 pulls saved over 3 years according to one player). This strategy supports spark mechanics and allows for maxing out specific desired characters when they release.

Early Oroberyl Farm Sources

Early sources of Oroberyl include: Authority Level 1 & 2 completion, Laevatain Combat Drills, random chests and achievements, possible transfer from standard banner currency, or 1-2 extra minutes of exploration (big chest usually available early on map side).

Launch Reroll Pulls Available

Standard Banner: 20 pulls available. Limited Character Banner: 7 pulls total (4 from redemption codes, 1 from beginner sign-in, 1 from chartered sign-in, 1 extra from 500 Oroberyl). Rerolling for limited promotional characters is now technically possible due to many free pulls, but only recommended for players with high endurance.

Physical team potential with Gilberta

Gilberta appears to fit well in physical team compositions based on her similarities to Angelina from original Arknights.

Plan for 120 pulls before committing

Wait until you have accumulated 120 pulls before deciding which character to target. This gives you flexibility and time to see future banners and make informed decisions.
