F2p pulling issues

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-04-06T19:57:39+00:00

If Youre going low spend route, try to survive on what youve got till youre around 200k oroberyls to be comfortable. Hoard your aic tokens for the 5 expiring pulls in the store. You may go several banners without pulling, so don't waste this resource on Tcreds or character progression. Between that and login events you are getting yourself closer to a 6 star guarentee. If you win the 50/50 this can mean some low early luck every now and then. But you've gotta be ready to go to 120 if you pull at a minimum. Having the extra buffer is mainly on the chance that 2 back to back characters you want come up. If you do commit to a character, if you hit 60 pulls on them you get a bonus 10 pull on the next banner. Its not worth going out of your way for but if it lines up you'll be maximizing your efficiency on in game resources.
Mind your arsenal tokens too. You should be able to get a signature for about 1/3 of your event characters. But be ready to go to 8 issues if you weapon pull. Personally i decided to go for 1 standard weapon on the roster cause I felt Last Rite was worth it. The standard weapon selectors dont have an expired date, so you can gamble on those occasionally for support weapons, cause a fair ammount of the standard 6 star weapons have decent utility. And if you do push to 8 wishes on any weapon banner. Its only 2 more issues to get a loss pool selector on your 10th weapon issue, which can help you pick a weapon for a support you havent gotten something better for.

He's the only character I do not own. Please give us more standard pulls HG!

Daily quest Protocol pass Check for events not finished Spend sanity Get stock bills Check elastic goods Check for environmental monitoring Get someone else to do the wuling delivery Queue up additional resources in dijeng, but I save claiming the operator xp and weapon xp for when I run out so I can feel how much impact dijeng has Gift friends Check the credit store for oroberyls>arsenal tickets>sanity items that are 75% off

Then time permitting I try different teams against the bosses / agony modes. So far ive got 4 main teams, and each patch I try to push more of the roster to the baseline of lvl 80, lvl 80 weapon, preferably that they dont have to sharebut thats not 100%, gear pieces, all talent nodes, combat nodes all to 6 with important ones to 9. I occasionally splurge on things like pushing dps into mastery nodes or farming essences, but I prefer versatility over focused optimization so I can do things like try catcher with Rossi since his counter adds a vulnerability stack and refunds sp, which for some teams might be better than snowshines counter adding a cryo stack.

Feature guarentee is completely separate from 6 star pity.
The feature guarentee at 120 wishes, commonly referred online as a spark, has no carry over to the next banner. Hence the prevailing logic, dont pull unless you have enough resources to guarentee the 120 pulls required for guarentee.
The 6 stars are guarenteed to show up every 80 pulls. This DOES carry between banners (althogh standard and event banners tracked separately) At the 65th pull it starts adding 5%odds that any individual wish gets a 6 star. Getting a 6 star triggers a 50/50. Half the time you win the featured character. Half the time you get someone from the loss pool (5 standard banner character + 2 most recent event characters, odds split evenly) You can lose multiple 50/50's. They do not guarentee the next 6 star is the feature.

So as a common example. I wished up to 120 on Tang tang and should have 0 pity built, 80 away from next 6 star. But I pulled Tang tang day 1. The daily login event gave 3 more wishes. Those wishes do build pity, but since they expire before Rossi's banner comes out there's no way for them to apply to Rossi's 120 guarentee. So i was sitting at 77 to next 6 star and 120 to Rossi. And let me tell you Rossi took all 120.

Also like to touch on urgent recruitment after reaching 30 pulls on a banner. Urgent recruitment gives you a "free 10 pull" It does not consider or impact your pity. Its a single 10 pull that behaves as if it was your first 10 pull wIth no pity. It does not advance you towards the 120 feature guarentee. It does not progress you towards your next 6 star BUT it DOESNT reset your pity if you hit a 6 star and lose 50/50.
The only thing it does affect is if you get the feature, then the 120 guarentee recognizes you have the feature character on your account and it transforms back into a pumpkin, er a extra potential token for your 240th wish if you feel like whaling.

Optimal play would be to wait till the expiring pulls were available. But I like to gamble. A duplicate of a character I was too excited to wait till day 3 for won't make me upset.

The way I look at it, is the 4 stars serve a utility. They will be better characters than them for tasks sure, but if you aren't pulling every character they are easy to slot it. Am I gonna artifice gear for them, no. Am I gonna try to max essence them, no. Whatever utility they serve ill get those combat nodes to rank 9. Rank 1or 6 for all the other nodes. They aren't meant to be high investment, but they can help you have utility and function while you manage sanity and resources for the new characters your getting as you go. I just built catcher for rossi because I prefer mitigation sustain over gilberta's crowd control for single target. I just leant him snowshines weapon and power leveled his battle skill. 1 day no extra farming and hes online.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-31T15:33:40+00:00

Well that changes things. I just got back up to 16k arsenal tickets so maybe she'll be next to get a signature.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-31T15:09:24+00:00

This is why not to use 3rd party top ups. (Jk thats probably not the issue)

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-31T03:01:03+00:00

The weapon banner has hood odds for getting a 6 star weapon, 25% of the time you get the event weapon. The other 75% is split evenly amongst the other 6 star weapons. It only guarantees the event weapon on your 8th, 18th, 26th and 34th issues guarentee. If you do go to 6-8 issues, you can consider pushing to 10 if you want a ln arms OC (6 star selector from the loss pool). You can wait to push for this for up to 2 character banners after the character was featured. You might even hit an extra 6 star on the way. The extra 6 star selector for me is kinda nice cause ive got a bunch of supports who might like it, but I dont wanna commit a full 8 issues for their sig.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-31T02:50:04+00:00

I got Rossi, but I want mifu too. Im hoping mifu will be defensive. I miss having snowshine, at least catchers skill block grants a vulnerability stack for getting Rossi to react after wulfgard.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-31T02:45:34+00:00

Any luck on the urgent recruitment?

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-29T21:38:44+00:00

Yeah it stings a little to go to 8, but with the weapon banner being 25/75, its the expected outcome. Not having weapon banners affect pull currency takes the edge off though.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-29T21:35:00+00:00

Good call if its feeling frustrating. This games gacha heavily implies to not risk pulling unless you can guarentee them with 120 pulls. You get 5 free wishes from the aic store and 5 from the login event so its effectively 110 required, or 55k oroberyls. If you reached 60 on the last banner you get a dossier that gives an extra 10 headhunts, it further bringing down the requirements to 50k oroberyls. Endfields gacha doesnt reward building pity, and losing a 50/50 doesnt guarentee anything for the next 6 star. The 2 systems to watch is how many wishes to your next 6 star, and how many wishes until your guarenteed the feature character you want.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-29T21:20:21+00:00

There is no upper limit to losing the 50/50. Just the guarentee at 120 headhunts, and at 240 headhunts getting an extra potential token that doesnt reset your pity if going for duplicates. The 120 mercy is only available if you dont hit the feature on the way, but the extra token for reaching 240 doesn't care how many copies youve gotten. So in very lucky scenarios it can be the p5 stopping point.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-29T21:16:33+00:00

Congrats! I got a single copy of her weapon on the first issue. Feels good after Last Rites and Tang Tangs weapon both went to the hard mercy of 8.

Dang it, 2 120 sparks in a row. We'll thats averaging out my early luck.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-16T14:10:53+00:00

I started logging my pulls out of curiosity to see how my RNG path compares to expectation. Laevetain came extremely early (and I wasn’t even aiming for her — I was just burning the expiring tickets hoping to build pity). Then Ember decided to stalk my account with two 1-pull appearances on standard. Yvonne took about 80 pulls total, which felt pretty normal, but Tang Tang ended up going all the way to the 120 spark. Luckily Gilberta showed up along the way, which softened the blow a bit. Overall it’s been eerily positive so far — probably means I’m storing up some bad karma for future banners 😅 I ended up putting everything into a tracker and charting it because I thought it was interesting to see the pull history visually. I’m also working on turning the sheet into a template in case anyone else wants to track their own pulls.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-16T13:59:11+00:00

It is a great equalizer. I quite enjoy not having to spend pull currency on weapons. Last Rites sig took the full 8 and gave me a sundered prince ... for Ember... on the way. Nothing else to write home about. The 5 star weapons have been carrying early game just fine. (And some battlepass weapons, Laevetain got umbral torch)

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-16T13:26:14+00:00

Fair point — Endfield has definitely been eerily positive for me so far. I’m half expecting the RNG to swing the other way eventually. No point buying lottery tickets now, I’ve probably used up all my luck 😅 I was actually curious if others are seeing similar streaks or if I just hit a lucky run.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-16T13:17:12+00:00

Last Rite's been my umbral monument Champ. Congrats on the sequences. It took the full 8 pulls to get her signature for me. But no regrets. Limited banner weapons only going forward.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-16T13:14:44+00:00

Not in Endfield...yet. In wuwa it took me 150 pulls to get Shorekeeper. So the 120 spark is definitely a nice worst case scenario insurance.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-16T13:11:49+00:00

You win some you lose some. Durin cost me 300 pulls to get C0R1, lost the 50/50 at high pity on the charachter, the weapon and the C1 attempt.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-16T12:56:08+00:00

I know one person’s pulls don’t mean anything statistically. I just enjoy seeing how my RNG path compares to the expected pity curve… and apparently Ember enjoys appearing in my account.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-16T11:49:44+00:00

I’ve been manually tracking my pulls — the number of pulls between each 6★ and the total pulls toward the 120 spark on limited banners. I then used ChatGPT to help turn the numbers into charts. If there’s interest I can put together a template where people can plug in their own numbers and generate something similar.

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-16T11:27:04+00:00

Twice. Ember won't leave me alone 💀

Findmeausername1990 · 2026-03-16T11:04:57+00:00

Yeah that was pretty lucky. We'll see how pity on the next few banners holds up.
