Strategic Pulling Guide
Skip Strategy Rules
- Decide which characters you MUST have - make a priority list
- Skip all other banners completely - no "just one pull"
- Never pull for 4★s on bad banners - they return eventually
- Stop at 0 pity after getting your character - don't build pity
Pity Management Tips
| Situation |
Action |
| At 0-30 pity |
Safe to pull casually |
| At 30-60 pity |
Consider if you want the 5★ |
| At 60-74 pity |
DANGER ZONE - high 5★ chance |
| At 74+ pity |
Almost guaranteed 5★ next 10 pulls |
