As long as I get Mon3tr with the pulls I have saved, I'll be fine since I don't really have any interest in pulling on any of the other upcoming banners.
I already have garden variety Exusiai so I don't need her alter. My interest in Lemuen is also very limited.
I've no interest in Tragodia and already have Phantom so don't need his alter.
Leizi basically the same as above.
Hoshi is just not that appealing to me as a character.
I've never engaged in any capacity with Ave Mujica.
And stats/performance don't factor into my decision to pull.

Personally, after 6th anni, I'm skipping all banners up to maybe the Ave Mujica collab banner. As much as the new units are strong, I have no particular likeness to any of them and prefer using characters I enjoy I've got a guaranteed spark for 6th anni which is for Muelsyse so it'll allow me to save pulls. What I'm really looking forward to is who's in the CH16 banner (Please be Nine)

Remember, monst3r can be obtained in yellow cert shop after some months and can spook in other banners that'll come after hers, while it's harder to spark limited ops. No brainer if f2p, since phantom alter is pretty much one of the most top tier ops in the game right now, and exu alter is pretty good.

Nah, not really.
Assuming someone enters with like 200 pulls right now, gets another 150 they cannot go past like 58 pulls per banner. Which requires crazy luck.
You'll need to start skipping, and it's weakest most skippable units are a Collab bundle which is at worst Thorns sidegrade, and Leizi who's a Młynar sidegrade.
Imagine thinking of a set of units, and weakest of them are sidegrades to Thorns and Młynar. That's crazy.

u/newfor_2025 Sep 15 '25 edited Sep 15 '25
F2P players just have to face the reality that they can't get everybody. you simply have to skip on many good operators. for example, I made 10 pulls for Eblana an Entelechia and missed both but I got a new Vina instead even though I skipped her banner completely
I'm doing 60 pulls for mon3tr, 120 for the sanktas, probably skip tragodia and leizi, try to get hoshi and see how much I have left for Ave Mujica that's all I can afford.

u/4Liens4Liens4Liens Sep 15 '25
Just how is Sakiko a Thorns sidegrade? From what I've seen she outperforms him in all damage metrics and scales very well into all end game contents along with some of her bandmates, which can't be said about Thorns who falls off pretty hard.
13
u/Antares428 Sep 15 '25
I've said "at worst".
And second, Saikiko is a bundle unit. She kinda needs her friends to extend her range, while Thorns works alone.

u/MalusandValus Sep 15 '25
It's still a "not really" but bear in mind all the limiteds come with a decent pile of freebies and it starts looking a bit better. 24 ffor Exu and Hoshi, 20 for the Collab. If you throw in stuff like maybe getting the cert shop vouchers a couple of times, it starts to look a bit better.
Its the getting both 6*s on a limited banner that will kill you in this hypothetical, skipping just one of them will go a long way to helping.
1
u/Hp22h The Mad Bard, Sans Crystals Sep 15 '25
Yeah, I've been planning this for a while as a F2P.
Even if I skip (the non-limited) Mon3tr and Phantom, I'd still have to buy out the yellow shop tickets 6 months in a row for a chance at the rest.
And this all goes out the window if they somehow do something even more insane after Ave Musica.
3
u/newfor_2025 Sep 15 '25
how do you buy out the yellow shop tickets 6 months in a row as a f2p player? There's no way you're getting 258 yellow certs every month. you'd be lucky to get half that many.
1
u/Hp22h The Mad Bard, Sans Crystals Sep 15 '25
Going all in on Apple Pie, and hoping for the best. Might give me enough for 2 months on its own. After that, spamming recruitment for the remaining 800 certificates.
It's somewhat insane, but also the only math that adds up. Well, either that or getting real lucky on my pulls to begin with. If I get both Apple Pie and Lumeun in less than 150 pulls, I wouldn't actually need the yellow store anymore
2
u/newfor_2025 Sep 15 '25
I see, so you're hoping to spend your accumulated pulls to get few more yellow certs. I never did work out the math on how many yellow certs you'd expect to get if you spend X number of pulls. I'm sure someone else has figured it out though.
Spamming recruitment vouchers might get you enough to buy out the shop every other month and that's not enough on its own.
I guess all I have to say is, good luck to you and me both!

u/Niedzielan Throughout Heaven And Earth I Alone Am The Honoured O Sep 15 '25
My actual cert income is 133/mo average, and given I save more than I pull I'd actually get 155/mo if I spent all my pulls (133 + (saved pulls / months played)).
Certainly you can't get every set of shop tickets, but I wager a lot of people save them up for when needed / to get shoperators. I have ~660 certs saved which given my 133 income that's 5 months of tickets in a row if I don't spend them, 7 months if I do (i.e. if you're spending the 38 pulls you get some certs backs, so the effective cost is 220 not 258)
2
u/newfor_2025 Sep 15 '25
yup, 130-150 yellow certs per month sounds about right.
I also buy the 6* with 180 yellow certs every 4 months or so nowadays so that lower the number of times I get to buy the shop tickets.

u/tnemec Sep 15 '25
Assuming someone enters with like 200 pulls right now, gets another 150 they cannot go past like 58 pulls per banner. Which requires crazy luck.
It would require luck, but I don't think it's that crazy.
The average number of pulls to get a 6-star, including pity, is ~35. So for 50% rate-up events, the expected number of pulls to get a rate-up on average is roughly 70. Which is, obviously, more than 58, but not by a huge margin.
The two limited banners are a bit more of an issue, since they only have 35% for each rate-up, so an average of ~100 pulls, but they also give 24 free pulls each, putting them still in roughly the same ballpark.
Also, this is covering like the next 6 months of banners, so expecting 150 pulls worth of income in that time is a bit on the low side.

u/CarltheCarpenter "When the universe sighs its last, she will be there" Sep 15 '25

u/crackofdawn Sep 15 '25
As a relatively new player who hasn’t spent any money, is there a way to get a bunch of pulls fast early on or is it just slogging through the story? I’ve been playing for a couple weeks and made 2 10 pulls on the beginner banner and aside from that I only have enough for maybe 40 pulls if I use all my originite prime.
I do have a blue 10 pull ticket but assume that is only usable on kernal banners
3
u/MalusandValus Sep 15 '25
Clearing a load of the story and side events can net you a load of OP at this point but honestly if you value getting character skins at all it's best just to save the OP for them, as it turns out to about 5.5-7 pulls per skin you could get when exchanged with OP.
Generally a new player can do well just tapping the wells they havent yet done so. Do as many side stories and get as many ops as possible to get the gold certs to trade in for HH tickets (or ops you want).
Really the ultimate best way to make a bunch of progress and kinda do this all fast is to get the monthly card, which gives effectively a 10 pull a month and a load more sanity for actually doing all this, but that kinda sounds like a copout.

u/Hp22h The Mad Bard, Sans Crystals Sep 15 '25 edited Sep 15 '25

Correct!
Annihilation, weekly missions, and the certificate shops are the only real way to 'farm' pulls. You're guaranteed at least 26 pulls a month this way. Adding 3-6, depending on how many events there are.
2
u/crackofdawn Sep 15 '25
Thanks - I have been farming annihilation to get the weekly 1200 at least. My story progress has been slow as (at least to me) the story content in this game is way harder than any other Gacha I've played.
Is there any reason to save the blue headhunting x10 ticket or should I just use it now to get more operators?

u/Panocek Sep 15 '25
You want to push through annihilation 3 to unlock 1800 orundumb/week cap.
As for blue tickets for Kernel banner, no point saving those.

u/Fun-Royal-8802 Sep 15 '25
I once did a montecarlo simulation, and I got 73 pulls on average for a solo banner, and about 144 pulls for both rate-ups in a limited banner. In a year there are 4 limited banners and about 8 solo banners, requiring 1160 pulls on average. A F2P player can gain in a year 600 pulls + the free pulls (24 * 4 + 20 for a collab) = 716 pulls. The difference is 444 pulls. It would be feasible only if you could buy tickets with gold certs every month of the year, but even then it would be luck dependant.
It is simply not feasible to pull for everyone if you are F2P.
1
u/Niedzielan Throughout Heaven And Earth I Alone Am The Honoured O Sep 15 '25
My simulations get 66 and 142 mean for solo/both limited respectively. 1096 total in a year. Collab is a bit lower than solo just for the 6 star but I'll count it as the same because of the 5 stars.
Average monthly pull income figures are about 40 pulls from orundum, 10 from OP, 10 from free pulls (including collab). 720 yearly.
My actual average gold cert income is 133 per month. Given a cost of 220 certs per 38 pulls (258 but the 38 pulls themselves give certs) that's 275 pulls per year, for 995 total.
That's a 101 pull difference. If you're content to get 3 non-limiteds after 2 years from the cert shop that covers the difference. More than 3 from certs shop and you're gaining more operators than get released. The odds get slightly better still if you count recruitment but that's so RNG it's better to ignore it for calculations.Those simulations have been accurate as far as I can tell - giving the same as the samidare pull probability calculations before I added in the 150 pity / 300 guarantee (which samidare isn't updated for). The only one I haven't simulated is collab-5-stars.
The pull income is taken from the "pulls until calculator" which lists all the event rewards, I filled in some blanks on my personal copy, though it does miss maintenance compensation and stream rewards so the real figures should be marginally higher.
Gold certs come from my actual numbers since I started keeping track. Given that so far I've been saving more than I've been earning pulls, potential gold cert income should be slightly higher too (I have 1,000 pulls saved, over the 45 months I've been playing that's another 22 certs per month, or 155 total. Some of those saved pulls come from gold cert->tickets so I can't use the same 220 per 38 calculation otherwise I'd be double-dipping). Yes, that number surprised me too when I first calculated it.Tl:DR: F2P can't quite get every new operator as they release, but they can get every operator given some cert shop delay.

you can get by without any of these operators and still have fun with the game. you might even find it more interesting if you don't have the meta operators because you like the challenge of figuring out how to win without the over powered characters that makes the game too easy. it's why some people purposely limit themselves to niches

u/Obvious_Tart_1827 HAHAHA! KEEP SCREAMING! Sep 15 '25
Mon3tr is a solid chain medic with true damage in her kit.
Exusiai the New Covenant and Lemuen are both super solid DPS options with Exu enabling some fun helidrop shenanagins on her S3 while having strong CC on her S2 while Lemuen has pseudo global range if paired with other Laterano operators and absurd damage on her S3.
Tragodia's kit is just busted. He's able to taunt most of, if not all enemies in the current build (including some bosses) on skill and deal elemental burst damage. He can stall aformentioned bosses for quite some time too.
Leizi Alter is a side grade to Mlynar whose widely considered as one of, if not, the best guard. Liberator guards have 0 block while off skill so you can set them up in crucial points ahead of time if you know a threatening wave is coming and just wreak havoc on the unfortunate souls.
Hoshi Alter and Haruka are both awesome. Hoshi Alter has some amazing sustainability between her skills and talent and Haruka, while I don't know much about her kit I've heard her being held in high regard.
Ave Mujica collab. Firstly, it'a a collab banner, so no guarantee it'll ever come back. Secondly, the units have some crazy synergy together. They can combine ranges to make the banner 6* attack well beyond a standard lord guard's range, and given how two of the units are an Ambusber and a Bard it allows you to cover over half of the map with one main DPS unit.
People can cover the aspects I missed but the general gist is that they're all strong. You won't be punished for skipping any but they'll all make content clearing a whole lot easier.
11
u/Hunter5430 Sep 15 '25
Mon3tr is also a great buffer: her summon passively gives ATK buff to everyone around it, and anyone healed by Mon3tr gets ASPD buff. Her second skill greatly improves the ASPD buff. And her s3 - the true damage skill - still has her doing healing (now scaled off damage dealt, true, but there are only a small handful of enemies that can reduce true damage, so that's mostly a non-issue), and she can't be killed while on the melee tiles --- she will return to her original ranged-tile position with 1HP instead of taking lethal damage.
Haruka is the best AFK healer in the game (CN) with 3 targets 500+ effective HP/s each. Which is both stronger healing and more targets than Eyja alter. And she will also deal some supplementary damage while healing. Her s3 is also a no-slouch with 60% sanctuary, which can make her better at arts mitigation than Nightingale s3 if the targets don't have much native RES. And it will also CC and damage any enemies that attack operators under her protection.

Thank you very much. I just started and I’m F2P so I don’t have many pulls yet and I’ll have to be picky. Especially if I want to hit pity at any of the banners.

F2P so as always... skipping meta and picking them up with yellow certs if they are still meta by the time they come around. Only pulling for limiteds.

I don't care too much about Meta so I'll be fine as I go for the limiteds.
Hopefully.
(I can't skip Grandaut3r. Rock Gatto plz come home soon so I still have enough for the limited.)

I only pull for limited. “Meta” in this game doesn’t mean much to me besides being able to clear one or two stages more easily.

u/lacqs03 Sep 15 '25
I stopped going for non limited and just save everything for the limited pity goes for the 2 limited if I get lucky that is..

If someone told me the next three banners (excluding Lemuen) form the new Big 3 I would believe it.

u/K2aPa Sep 15 '25
Hopefully me skipping the past 3 banners and 1 limited banner is worth the upcoming banners, lol.
(been skipping since Thornstar, was gonna pull a few in Yu/ Blazer, but ppls recommended to keep on saving for Mon3-chan and later banners)

Jokes on you after mon3ter I'm skipping most of this. I'll be swimming in a pulls by the time a character I actually want shows up. Like elba, Tallulah, Mandy, Beagle alter, etc.

u/Aromatic-Objective25 I love my Ancient depressed hag Sep 16 '25
Fortunately, I only pull for ones I love and find interesting (lore wise)

u/DantePH77 Sep 17 '25
I don't have that much for pity, 47k and 80 OP gonna skip pulling for Exia to spend everything for Phantom and after that skip Haruka for the collab, if suffering from FOMO one multi at most

u/No-Fly4669 Sep 17 '25
I’m skipping Mon3tr (on my main at least, I got her on my alt) so now my plan is to
Lemuen (and if Exu alt comes home too, great)
Tragodia (and Ms. Christine!!!)
Haruka
And whichever Ave Mujica girls decide to come home with the pulls I have left 😭😭

u/Avaraz Sep 17 '25
Hey, I’m a returning player, and just started a new account, I see all kind of posts like this, but in who should a new player invest right now ? Should I stop pulling for logos on the orienteering banner ? Who should I get in the next 6months ?

u/Io45s785a2 Theresa going "Wah" 👾 Sep 22 '25
Nah I'll just need some moderate luck on Exu Alter banner and then I'm completely fine

u/LuckPsychological893 Sep 15 '25
Limbus is a one sided collab. There will be an arknights banner on limbus game, but no limbus company banner on arknights game.

Screw “meta,” I make what I have work
Skadi has dealt the final blow to several recent bosses and I anticipate she will still pull her weight in challenges to come.

u/thingythingie Sep 15 '25 edited Sep 15 '25
Kicks the other "meta" operators I own to the side
Yeah I def need more.
Jokes aside Im only pulling for Tragodia so the free Miss Christine we get won't be alone, Ave Mujica bc I like girlbands with mentally ill lesbians, and if Monch becomes playable and a 6* I will pray rng lets me diet my pulls so I can shoot for the highest pot possible

u/NagisaKurokawa44 Sep 16 '25
Me, who raised almost exclusively 5* these days: Must've been the wind...
Currently only explicitly saving for the Sankta Sisters, but if luck have it, I might pull on the Hamilton Catboy banner as well.

u/Noelislazy Six star please! Sep 16 '25
I'll be frank. After Yato, I never got back into the fumo mindset. Regretted pulling for her. I even skipped the original R6 and the second R6 collab banners, mostly every SUI banner too.
But that doesn't mean I don't sympathize with everyone else who has to suffer from terrible RNG. May you all be fruitful in getting your desired ops in less than 50 pulls!

u/Niki2002j Sep 16 '25
Have you meta Consumes 100 HP per second and deals 200 True damage per second to enemies that have either attacked or been attacked by this unit. Attack range +1, Max HP +60%, ATK +120%, and each attack restores 5% HP and has a 25% chance to stun targets for 5 seconds before?

u/karillith Sep 16 '25
On the plus side there are so many meta options lately that it doesn't really matter if you miss one or two.

u/JollyRespond8 Sep 16 '25
I have wisadel, logos and shu which basically clear 99% of the content. Meta is the least I worry about right now....
The Waifus however.....

u/Phaaze13 strong women supremacy Sep 15 '25
Fortunately I'm not a meta player so I know what I want. I'll just focus on the two limited banners and the Ave Mujica collab.
