Gacha rules, sparks
- The rates are 3% for a 3★. The rate-up student is 0.7% in that 3%. For full details: click the Rates Info button on the gacha page.
- BA uses the spark system. A spark here is doing 200 pulls (24,000 pyroxene worth) and trading the recruitment points for a featured banner student.
- There are only 2 guarantees; a 2★ or better in every multi pull (10 pulls at a time), and the spark.
- Recruitment points never carry over, they convert to small keystones (crafting shards) when banners rotate. You can spend 23,880 pyro and still get nothing from 199 pulls.
- Free pull tickets and pulls on any non-paid banner give recruitment points. Free tickets never expire once collected. Paid tickets may or may not give recruitment points, and they always expire. Check the fine print in the patch notes (Homepage -> Notice button -> Updates).
- To check if an item expires, go to Settings -> Items. If the item has a timer, it will expire. Items left in your mailbox expire after a week (the exception is hoarding AP).
- The 100 free pulls are not items, they’re counters in the banners. These will expire if unused.
- For more gacha info: gacha page.
- Limited vs. permanent, and limited festival units.
- Spark vs. pity.
- Average eligma from gacha.
- You can calculate your odds with this chance calculator.
Best practices
- Only pull if you can spark (rerolling is the exception). Recruitment points never carry over.
- Do multi pulls (10 pulls at a time) for the guaranteed 2* or higher. More eligma & elephs.
- Set thresholds for when to save or spark if you pull early. Consult your pyro planner too.
- This is personal preference and can vary depending on the importance of that student’s dupes.
- E.g. 140 pulls or less, save. 170+ pulls, spark. In between…?
- E.g. Are they a Striker dps? Dupes are important for extreme/insane. Are they a Special support? Dupes are generally less/not important. See Midokuni’s banners tab for star/UE and dupe recommendations.
- For hardcore vets:
- If you intend to spark and want both banner girls (e.g. to save eligma); pull on the banner you want dupes of (more), and use the spark to claim the other student. A dupe of girl A on banner B is not rate-up.
- Save one spark for every festival, which appears to be every 6 months.
- Festivals have double 3* rates (same rate-up though). You’re likely to get more students and eligma.
- Even if the festival student is “bad”, they’re limited and there’s no other way to spark them in the future. You just have to get lucky from a spook in future festivals.
- One spark per festival is good. It’s safer to guarantee another student you want than to gamble.
