Pity System Mechanics

Soft Pity (Pull 70)

Rates increase dramatically from 0.8% to ~7-10% by pull 75, climbing to 100% at pull 80. Most 5-stars drop between pulls 70-78. Budget for 75 pulls (12,000 Astrites) for realistic expectations.

Hard Pity (Pull 80)

Absolute guarantee at 80 pulls. Applies independently to character event, weapon, and standard banners. 4-star pity: guaranteed every 10 pulls.

50/50 System

First 5-star on event banner: 50% featured character, 50% standard 5-star.

Win 50/50: Get featured character. Next 5-star resets to 50/50.

Lose 50/50: Get standard 5-star. Next 5-star guaranteed featured (persists across versions).

Lynae Banner Analysis

Lynae: 5-star Spectro Pistols support DPS. Resonance Liberation grants 24% DMG increase (25s). Outro Skill provides 15% All DMG Amp + 25% Liberation DMG Amp (14s).

Kit Overview

Manages three resources: Overflow (max 120), Lumiflow (max 120), True Color (max 3). Intro Skill recovers 100 Overflow instantly.

Spectrum Blaster synergy: Basic Attacks inflict Tune Rupture, granting +8% team DMG (25s), stacks 3× = 24% total. Combined with Liberation = 48% multiplicative damage increase.

Optimal Echo sets:

• Pact of Neonlight 5pc: Outro grants +15% ATK to next Intro, +0.3% per Tune Break (max 15%, 15s)
• Rite of Gilded Revelation 5pc: Basic Attack DMG +10% Spectro DMG (5s, stacks 3×); at 3 stacks, Liberation grants +40% Basic Attack DMG

Pull Probability

• By pull 70: ~50% chance of 5-star
• By pull 80: 100% 5-star, 50% Lynae
• By pull 160: 100% guaranteed Lynae

Guaranteed status players need max 80 pulls (12,800 Astrites). 50/50 players budget 160 pulls (25,600 Astrites), though most acquire between 120-140 pulls.

When to Stop/Continue

Stop if:

• Got Lynae before target pity and saving for Mornye
• Within 10 pulls of soft pity without resources for guarantee
• Lost 50/50 but want guaranteed status for future banner

Continue if:

• Past pull 60 with resources for 80 (don't waste pity)
• Want Lynae constellations
• Have excess resources and want featured 4-stars

Mornye Banner Analysis

Mornye: 5-star Fusion Broadblade main DPS. Builds Rest Mass Energy to 100 points for burst damage. Syntony Field provides HP restoration, interruption resistance, and Off-Tune Buildup Rate increase.

Combat Style

On-field main DPS with sustained damage. Outro Skill grants 25% DMG to next character. Starfield Calibrator (77% Energy Regen) solves energy issues, restores 8 Concerto Energy every 20s after Liberation.

Recommended Echoes:

• Halo of Starry Radiance 5pc: 1% Off-Tune Buildup Rate grants 0.2% ATK to team (4s), stacks to 25%
• Standard Fusion DMG/ATK sets

Lynae vs Mornye

Pull Lynae if:

• Need versatile support DPS for multiple teams
• Prefer quick-swap playstyles
• Lack Spectro damage dealers
• Want character who amplifies existing DPS

Pull Mornye if:

• Need dedicated Fusion main DPS
• Prefer sustained on-field combat
• Have strong supports but lack primary damage dealer
• Want self-sufficient survivability

F2P recommendation: Lynae offers broader flexibility; Mornye provides higher personal damage for established support rosters.

Weapon Banner Guide

Weapon banners use Fate Points system. Each off-banner 5-star = 1 Fate Point. At 2 Fate Points, next 5-star guaranteed selected weapon. Worst-case: 240 pulls (38,400 Astrites).

Spectrum Blaster (Lynae)

• 588 base ATK, 24.3% Crit Rate
• +12% ATK, +36% Basic Attack DMG (4s after Intro)
• Team +24% DMG through Tune Rupture
• 25-35% damage increase over 4-star options

Starfield Calibrator (Mornye)

• 413 base ATK, 77% Energy Regen
• +16% DEF, 8 Concerto Energy every 20s after Liberation
• 20-30% damage increase + smoother rotations

Recommendations by Spending

F2P: Avoid weapon banners. 38,400 Astrite cost exceeds two guaranteed characters.

Light Spenders: Only pull if excess resources after securing characters. Use cheap Lunite subscription from buffget for efficiency.

Moderate/Heavy Spenders: Pull weapons for most-used DPS after establishing diverse roster.

F2P Budget: Version 3.0 Pulls

Income Sources (42 days)

• Daily Commissions: 60 × 42 = 2,520 Astrites (15.75 pulls)
• Tower of Adversity: 400/week × 6 = 2,400 Astrites (15 pulls)
• Tactical Hologram: 200/week × 6 = 1,200 Astrites (7.5 pulls)
• Version events: ~4,000 Astrites (25 pulls)
• Exploration: ~2,500 Astrites (15.6 pulls)
• Maintenance: 300 Astrites

Total: 12,920 Astrites (80.75 pulls)

Dedicated players can reach 90-100 pulls with perfect Tower clears and complete exploration.

Can F2P Get Both Characters?

Lucky scenario: Win both 50/50s at ~pull 70-75 each = 140-150 pulls needed. Probability: ~12.5%.

Realistic: Guarantee one character (80 pulls with guaranteed status, 160 on 50/50). With 80 pulls available, secure one if you have guaranteed status.

With carried pity: Entering 3.0 with 40-60 pity can secure one guarantee + 20-40 pulls for second attempt.

Strategy: Commit to priority character. Use remaining pulls on second banner only if comfortable with uncertainty.

Strategic Pulling Guide

Account Progression

Early Game (UL 1-30): Prioritize diversity. Lynae helps multiple teams; Mornye offers self-sufficient damage.

Mid Game (UL 31-50): Complete elemental coverage. Pull Lynae for Spectro gap, Mornye for Fusion main DPS.

Late Game (UL 50+): Evaluate whether Lynae's 48% team amp improves best team more than adding Mornye as new main DPS.

Element Coverage

Lack Spectro: Lynae provides Spectro damage + 15% All DMG Amp Outro for any team.

Lack Fusion: Mornye fills Fusion main DPS role with sustained output.

Both covered: Evaluate which improves strongest team more. Lynae's support often provides broader value.

Meta Relevance

Lynae: 48% team damage amp makes her premier support for hypercarry comps. Excels in quick-swap teams maximizing buff uptime.

Mornye: Self-sufficient main DPS with survivability. 25% DMG Outro supports subsequent characters. Viable as main or sub-DPS.

Neither mandatory, both provide meaningful improvements to proper teams.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don't Pull at Lucky Times

No evidence supports time-based rate increases. 0.8% base rate operates constantly. Only timing that matters: pulling during desired character's banner period.

Track Pity Counter

Check Records page before every session. Prevents:

• Accidentally pulling past target
• Stopping before soft pity (70+)
• Forgetting 50/50 status

Never Use Lunites on Standard Banner

Standard banner lacks 50/50 guarantee, pools both characters and weapons. Use only free blue tickets. Save Lunites for event banners with guaranteed targeting.

Maximizing Value

Lunite vs Astrite Usage

Both function identically (1:1, 160 per pull). Use for event banner pulls on limited characters only. Never use for standard banner, shop refreshes, or stamina refreshes.

Monthly Subscription Value

$4.99 = 3,000 Astrites = 18.75 pulls = $0.266 per pull

vs. $99.99 pack = 50.5 pulls = $1.98 per pull

Subscription is 7.4× more cost-efficient. Best value for light spenders.
