While 4,000 crystals may initially seem generous, the economy requires significant planning. A single multi-summon requires 5,000 currency, yet chests only reward around 15. This means reaching a single guaranteed pull requires close to 60,000 crystals (120 pulls × 500 per pull).
Don't log in for 21 days to trigger the returning event, which awards 4 standard pull tickets - a consistent way for F2P players to get more standard pulls
When pulling for rate-up characters, it's actually disadvantageous to win 50/50 late in the banner (6+ pulls before 6* guarantee). Losing 50/50 at this stage gets you the target character in 3-6 additional pulls, while winning resets both guarantees and loses the 50 bond quota.
To maximize Express Sign-in Event rewards, wait 7 days before pulling. The ticket is only usable for rate-up banner and expires. Day 4 & 7 rewards are minimal for spenders, but crucial for F2P players optimizing pulls for awaited characters.
You don't have to accept time-limited pull offers. Based on feedback from other gacha games, sustained community feedback can lead developers to remove expiring currency systems without reducing overall pull availability.
Weekly mode only provides 100 weapon tickets. This means it would take 20 weeks just to get a 10-pull on the weapon banner. Plan your weapon pulls carefully around the 50/50 system.
Never aim to pull to just 30/60 and stop just to make use of the 30 and 60 pull rewards. The 'maximise number of 6 stars' strategy is misleading because extra 6 stars will often be non-limited dupes. Better strategy is to skip 2 in every 3 banners on average, only pulling on units you like. Player should pull to pity on limited banners they want rather than spreading resources thin.
Complete main story and 75-80% exploration in each region for 72980 Oroberyl (146 pulls) in first 4 days. Includes 2 more pulls from firewalker event and 6 from currency exchange not shown.
Commit 30 limited pulls to earn 10 temporary pulls that will NOT count towards the 120 guarantee. Never interact with the gacha unless you have 120 proper pulls saved up. Don't gamble and don't get baited by these bonus pulls.
Banner duration is only 2 weeks (17 days), creating time pressure. Make sure you have 120 pulls (60k currency) ready BEFORE a banner starts, or you risk not reaching the guarantee in time. The guarantee does NOT carry over between banners.
Players can expect 130-140 pulls from one-time resources and 21-41 pulls from recurring sources per banner when clearing 2 regions (Wuling + initial exploration) with authority level 46. Total 160-170 pulls including side quests and authority rewards, suggesting 1 limited character per patch or worse if patch provides similar income.
In the stream they confirmed: if you get a 6-star in the bonus pulls (earned after 30 pulls), it does NOT reset your pity counter. This makes bonus pulls safer since they won't hurt your guarantee progress.
120 guarantee rate-up with NO pity carry over between banners. Standard: 80 pity 50/50 with no guarantee, but pity DOES carry over. Weapon rate-up is 25/75 (25% chance at rate-up, NOT 75%). After 30 pulls you get a free 10-pull on current banner that doesn't count toward pity.
Laevatain and Gil banner last 17 days, and Yvonne's banner runs until next version. This means Endfield runs on a 51-day (7.2 week) patch cycle based on 17-day banner durations. That's 9 days longer than most 3D gacha games, affecting resource planning and saving timelines.
The gacha system is confusing but the rule is simple: have 120 pulls (or 60k currency) before pulling and you'll be fine. Other than that you are likely getting shafted to 'pay the difference' for the guarantee.
