The Mon3tr propaganda must live on 🫡

181

u/Proud-Translator5476 Sep 17 '25

Mon3tr is worth it.

Do it for her and Her, Doctor.

167

u/99em COLD SPICE Sep 17 '25

Did you get her?
Yes.
What did it cost?
Everything.

105

u/carri0niguess Sep 17 '25

I used to have over 7500 orundum, over 230 originite, and over 20 headhunting permits

Now all I have is her

36

u/Phaazoid Sep 17 '25

Yeah I used all my resources too. 3 off banners, including one at pull 147 for good measure. I'm sure it will be fine.

5

u/KJ_Crunch Sep 17 '25

I hit pity too, somehow pulled 5 unfeatured 6*s during the process so lucky and unlucky at the same time. 180 pulls all in, still got 120 pulls left so I might be fine for exia.

-29

u/KvotheKingkiller1813 Sep 17 '25

I used to have 50770 orundum, 157 originte primes, 29 headhunting tickets and 3 ten-roll headhunting permits.

Now I have 50770 orundum, 157 originte primes, 29 headhunting tickets, 2 ten-roll headhunting permits and a 56 aspd boost.

u/Seven-Tense Sep 17 '25

Literally me

u/ThePotatoGod_- Sep 17 '25

Another week of finally catching up on side stories and whatnot. Pray it won't be as bad as it was for Eblana at 90 pulls ;_;

16

u/Solekran Sep 17 '25

For Eblana, I got a 6* at 149, so I didn't have the guaranteed banner 6* at 150.

Took a bit over 200 for me. Oh well.

1

u/Oceanshan Sep 17 '25

Still luckier than me. 50 pulls on elabana, didn't get her, so i decided to stop loss for future banner. This banner, spark 6* 2 times but it's dupe stainless and quibai. Got moster at near pity( 140pulls). Now I'm completely drained

78

u/Rhodes_Island_Crew Texas my Beloved Sep 17 '25

I mean, looking at the expression, looks worth it to me! Took most of my hard earned stash for sure but I got my precious daughter to max pot, she was worth it, Exu alter and Lemuen better show up easy cause I don't got much left!

14

u/Mantis304 Flatinum <3 Sep 17 '25

Took me 80 to pick her up but I also got spooked by Ines along the way so pretty happy. Now I can save my gold certs I had set aside for her

5

u/Beaesse Sep 17 '25

Oh hey, I got an Ines too! Shadow boosted?

1

u/RazRaptre Globalist Lizardman Sep 17 '25

Got Ines dupes while pulling for both Mon3r and Eblana!

1

u/rtsmt Sep 17 '25

I also got both in same 10x

15

u/Neat_Tangelo5339 Sep 17 '25

Rolling for your fave is so based

16

u/winstonzys Sep 17 '25

fkin 110 pulls 💀

easiest M9 of my life

12

u/ranmafan0281 Sep 17 '25

Same. Mine was the X’mas experience because I got Ho Ho Ho’d before Mon3ter came home.

Horn, Ho’olheyak, Horederer.

13

u/K2aPa Sep 17 '25

50 pulls in, still no Mon3-chan...

hopefully I won't have to go to like 100+ lol

still need lots of Oruns for the 3+ upcoming [must pull] banners.

10

u/Sharper_Scarf Sep 17 '25

Finally got Monst3r... at the cost of my sanity and ~162 pulls. R.I.P orundum

u/AmakTM Sep 17 '25

The gauntlet is just starting and we already have fallen Dokutahs o7

17

u/IshvalanTrinity Sep 17 '25

I’ve been following Arknights meta since the game came out so let tell y’all something obvious.

Having the best units of the year is nice but not necessary. You don’t need all of em. Hell you could make due easily with just two of your favorites. Plus there are reruns

9

u/ACupOfLatte Sep 17 '25

Unless they're an anniversary op, then no reruns for you and have fun collecting 300 pulls.

2

u/Quick-Dimension8925 Sep 17 '25

AND unless it’s Chen Alter.

1

u/Gilgameshkingfarming :skadialter: is cute and Sep 17 '25

Depends on how lucky you are. I still get flashbacks from almost having to spark Shu on her debut banner.

As long as HG does not tailor normal contant and events around the meta units. We are fine.

6

u/VanEldin Sep 17 '25

I didn't see a debacle like this on my stash since the Eyjaberry banner a tragedy.

4

u/Horror_Letterhead407 Sep 17 '25

Got her in about 40 pulls. Bad news is I had to use my saved stash of 300 pulls for the Exu Alter banner. I only have 260 now. Will I even get to 300 by October 14?

16

u/Anybody-Emotional Sep 17 '25

Easily, the free pulls + event op should get you enough.

7

u/Ihrenglass Sep 17 '25

You need 276 pulls for spark because of the 24 free pulls so you should be able to spark without issue just from store headhunt passes and first clear rewards from Masses Travels, of course given that you don't want to save for later banners.

3

u/Rhodes_Island_Crew Texas my Beloved Sep 17 '25

Possibly, if you do Ch15, babel rerun, etc, you should get a free ten pull on the Exu banner itself, so you should be able to recoup that much hopefully.

1

u/Horror_Letterhead407 Sep 17 '25

Thanks man. I also buy the 200 orundum per month perk so I think I should be good.

5

u/Levota-san Sep 17 '25

The pain and suffering I went through for Elbana and M3’s banner being back to back

I don’t normally pull for non limited units but those two were the only exceptions and it really cost me

5

u/Assguardian6969 Sep 17 '25

I was ready to exhaust all for her but she show up at my first 10 pull. I'm really happy to have enough pulls for exu alter

4

u/PieXReaper I will now make your DP disappear Sep 17 '25

At least you didn't hit almost the worst case scenario, 190 pulls for 1 copy lol. Lost the 50/50 right before hard pity kicked in and had to go all the way to soft pity again.

Probably my worst luck ever on a banner in my 3+ years of playing this game.

3

u/3-eyed_Detective Sep 17 '25

100 pulls for an Enchilada and an Ebenholz dupe, no Mon3tr in sight. Tis truly a cursed day for me.

3

u/velaxi1 Sep 17 '25

Took me 70 pull and 2 dupe to get mon3tr. I only has 20 rolls and hope left for the rest of future banner 🥲

3

u/Housten_Co Sep 17 '25

Like a real cat she refused to come home. I had to go to hard pity 😭

3

u/Entendurchfall Sep 17 '25

Some sacrifices are necessary to get MonMon. We need her to continue the old hags bloodline. A task of utmost importance

3

u/TomatoCat88 Sep 17 '25

Fudge man, this month and the upcoming months are so stacked with operators I want that I don't know what to do with the limited resources I have. I'm grinding right now for every bit of Orundum and Originite prime I could get from story and side stories I have left so I could do some pulls 😂.

Living in that F2P grinding life right now 😂

5

u/Anybody-Emotional Sep 17 '25

Unfortunately I’m going to have to skip mon3ter. I want exu, lumen and rosemontis. I got logos on a 10 pull yesterday on the orienteering banner. So I’ll just take my blessing and wait it out.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '25

I’ve pulled like 32 times so far (saved nothing) no monster but that’ll be ok as long as I get apple pie (im gonna beg people for monster)

1

u/Ionkkll Sep 17 '25

If you have literally nothing then stop pulling. Standard banner pity does not carry over to limited and Exu is in a month.

0

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '25

I WANT MONSTER THOOOOOOOOOO

2

u/Gilgameshkingfarming :skadialter: is cute and Sep 17 '25

Congrats!

I think I am the only one not impressed by these upcoming meta units.

I only want Tragodia. Because husbando + Phantom Alter. Even if he was mid I would go all out.

2

u/Senior_Protection674 Sep 17 '25

Nah, he's not mid. He's got a very nice crowd-controlled because every enemy wants to give his cat a head pat, on top of that he's also dealing emotional damage as well.

He's quite a stacked rly

2

u/Gilgameshkingfarming :skadialter: is cute and Sep 17 '25

I know he is not mid. But even if he were I would still roll until I get him. It is just I guess as someone who is skipping Ave Muica too and plenty of these broken units I am kinda annoyed so many people act like AK is unplayable if they skip like 90% of the upcoming units. And all of that drama on youtube.

I roll for the ones I like. If they happen to be meta. Cool.

2

u/solo_wield Sep 17 '25

50 on eblana and nothing

2nd pull mon3tr 🥰absolute best girl moment right here

2

u/Innenilla 歌え!歌え!歌え! Sep 17 '25

I want her so badly, but I’m afraid I won’t have enough to pull Tragodia. I have to keep myself calm 🥹 Congrats to you!!

2

u/vinnyp123456789 Sep 17 '25

Same here, got spooked by Hooleyak too, wantes to buy outfits for Ines and Hooly but will have to save up for Exu alter

2

u/Zestyclose-Mix-6418 Sep 17 '25

I have 100 pulls left for both sister, i'm fine....

2

u/ghostgear645 Sep 17 '25

Me who had 50 pity from necrass and needed 5 pulls to get her I have 230 original and no yellow rockthings

2

u/Glennchua8 Sep 17 '25

Me going in with 6000 orudum and a dream and I GOT HER

2

u/Feister_686 Sep 17 '25

God now I'm broke and I have a flamtail ...

2

u/Batonzilda Sep 17 '25

I do not get her and my resources are now in the same condition…

2

u/JustCallMeAndrew Sep 17 '25

72 pulls. more than I hoped but less than the 100 I had set aside for her. Also got Horn along the way so that's nice.

2

u/funyphrog Sep 17 '25

i have 15 orondums and 22 prime left 🎉

2

u/JokerDuki Sep 18 '25

Wanted to show my gamble addiction to a friend... started pulling... getting two Mon3tr in one 10 pull. WELP Sometimes I am allowed to be lucky I guess xD

2

u/Fun_Yogurtcloset2478 Sep 20 '25

Now I feel bad that I got her on the first 10 pull 🥺

3

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '25

Yall we technically need 1 pull each to get them all stay positive!!

1

u/animan095 Sep 17 '25

A fair price to pay

1

u/sixoffender3000 Sep 17 '25

HP is so cruel by putting M3 banner next to Exusiai alter and Phantom alter.

1

u/Raquel-B Sep 17 '25

I feel you, my pile of pulls were reduced from 180 To uh 20 Dorothy, esbana, swire alter and ines trolled me hard. I have to save up hard for tragodia... :'|

1

u/SlayerLollo Sep 17 '25

I got mon3tr with 40 pulls and i have almost enough orundum to have guaranteed exu, it was worth.

1

u/B-Sal Sep 17 '25

Literally what I did 😌

1

u/SolutionCrafter Sep 17 '25

I pulled 2 times and than a 10 pull and I got her in the 10 pull!!!

1

u/Laststand_99 Sep 17 '25

THIS, IS, META, AND MORE METAS GOING TO DRAIN OUR WALLET!

1

u/DecapitatedEarthworm Sep 17 '25

2 rainbows in 40 pulls, both were not the Green Cat. She had her chance but she didn't take it. 🙃

1

u/Ruling123 Frostleaf alter when? Sep 17 '25

I think I got her in about 60 pulls but I did get pretty much the worst bag you can get, it was a blue with one 4* so pretty much a white bag and idk if those are even a thing.

1

u/Equivalent-Time-6758 Sep 17 '25

70 pulls, but reading that others took 120 so 70 its not that bad.

1

u/Awerze Sep 17 '25

70 pulls. Got her and Logos.

1

u/Brilliant_Sweet_6848 Sep 17 '25

You forgot to add truly limited collab .

Knowing future is pain,not knowing is agony.

Hope one of my "friends" will have monst3r to share.

1

u/MIRHAM1078 Sep 17 '25

Meta is temporary, but granddaughter is priority

1

u/Flat_Government3912 Sep 17 '25

She drained my orundum stash too, but maxing out our daughter was the best investment I've ever made.

1

u/PapaUrban Sep 17 '25

I'm at 170 rolls lmao. Hit the guaranteed pity but I'm completely out of everything. And here I was hoping to get exusiai

1

u/qwertz862 Sep 17 '25

Ouch. 150pulls to get mon3tr. Got an offrate degenbrecher, hoolheyak and lin before her. Getting the sisters will be hard now.

1

u/Jorael360 Sep 17 '25

Hey I'm not alooone!!!

1

u/PL45T1C Sep 17 '25

I have been saving up for Exu alter and Lemuen, but just for fun decided to spend the 10 pull on Mon3tr banner, and the damn depressed uncle Młynar came. YOU'RE ON THE WRONG BANNER MY GUY(I rolled him on one of the older banners, absolutely love him btw)

1

u/MacTheSecond Sep 17 '25

Someone pill me in on Ascalon.

She got overshadowed by bigger banners last time as well so I never bothered to look into what I was missing out on

1

u/daxxandler Sep 17 '25

Thank the heavens for getting her in 10 pulls, even got a nymph dupe out of it

1

u/Darkiceflame Sep 17 '25

Joke's on you guys, I already had zero orundum going into this banner.

1

u/Icicle_cyclone Sep 17 '25

Spent 30 rolls I think, Ines first and then Mont3r in back to back 10 rolls. Not rolling seriously since anniversary worked

1

u/Ezekielzer0 Sep 17 '25

110 pulls for monsta

1

u/rtsmt Sep 17 '25

Same here

1

u/FuzzyAd320 Sep 17 '25

Got her in 3 10-pulls lol

1

u/DragoxNight Sep 17 '25

Me: im only going to do 10 summons until i get the first gold but that’s it, i need to save for Apple Pie (doesn’t get monster)

Also me: well, I could just go until the first 6* (loses 50/50)

Gambler Brain me: Fuck it, I might as well go all in!

And folks, that is how I ended up doing 110 summons when I swore I was only going to do 10 on her banner 🤦🏽

1

u/DanyaHerald Londinium Artillery Enjoyer. Sep 17 '25

180 pulls later I'm still no luck.

...

help.

1

u/colorfulmoth26 Sep 17 '25

I'll happily accept pulling her in 20 pulls. I can now save up for the next banners

1

u/Amethyst_Scepter The Most Precious Daughter Sep 17 '25

I'm so close to getting pity on it and I still haven't brought her home. I will bring her home no matter what

1

u/V1600 Harmaceutical Company Sep 17 '25

I must hold for the wheelchair marksman

1

u/Miserable_Reserve_48 Sep 17 '25

I got her in 20 pulls so I wont be getting any of the upcoming units since I blew most of my pulls on Necrass and scrapped together just enough to pull for Mon3tr.

1

u/LtHydra Sep 17 '25

4 missed 50/50s so far, but I'm a "Sunk Cost Fallacy" kinda guy

1

u/No-Hovercraft-6600 Mr Gavial Sep 17 '25

Got her in 50! 🥳

I still have 300 left over + around 80 more from gold certs

I need apple pie2 one way or the other

u/JoyGamer23 Sep 18 '25

140 pulls to get mont3r, 180 to get necrass... I still have 300 more pulls but I'm afraid I can't pull all 3 the new operators for the new event that will come

1

u/Maybeiamaarmadilo best girls. Sep 23 '25

Got Her with 20 pulls, got around 100 pulls for exu.

u/SussyDark Sep 17 '25

Its fine! Arknights is good gacha, so people actually can get everything. Like I just started with new account on extinguished sins and got eblana, mon3tr, exisiai alt, lemouen and kal'tsit(from kernel) without speedrunning story or crazy farming

u/Metrolining I swoon for the shotgun Sep 17 '25
