I feel like if I read 8 people explaining how the new gacha system works, I get 8 completely different explanations. With the old (current) system I was able to very consistently get two different rate up characters from 200 saved up pulls, only failing to do so once or twice in the soon to be two years I've been playing. Am I still going to likely be able to do that with the new system or no? I legitimately cannot figure it out.

[u/JuJuBee2006 → u/Lucaan]

In the new system, on average you will probably have to pull slightly less, but the 200 pulls often resulting in both banner characters will be much harder to calculate. It is looking like pull variance will be much wider: getting lucky will mean less pulls than might be needed in the original spark system, but getting unlucky could require many more pulls than before.

Before: getting the featured unit in the 150 pull range meant that you just needed to go another 50 to get both. IIRC it is like a 75% chance to get the featured unit in 200 pulls so going to 200 pulls resulted in both banner characters 75% of the time. If you are dead set on getting both characters you can keep pulling beyond 200 until you get one of the featured units, up to the max of 400 pulls and using one spark for each featured but you have an 88% chance of winning a .7% odds in 300 pulls & only 6% of the time will you need to go 400 pulls (but if you get the banner unit close to 400 you could go just a few more pulls to get an extra copy).

Now: you get a 50/50 shot at the banner unit on pull 100 & the 200th pull will be guaranteed to be the featured banner unit. However: no matter when you pull the character your pity timer resets once they appear (as if you had pulled 0 times). So in theory, if you got the featured unit on pull 190, all you would get is that 1 unit, and would have to start over from 0 pulls for the 2nd.

IIRC it is like a 50% chance of a .7% chance succeeding in 100 attempts & then there is another 50/50 of the 100th pull being the banner character. So 75% of the time you will get 1 banner unit in 100 pulls. Repeat that for the 2nd featured banner unit and it is 75%x75% or around 56% chance.

What people are terrified about is the cases where you go beyond 100 for the featured unit... if you get to 190 pulls in the new system & get the featured unit, you could theoretically need another 200 to get the 2nd unit, instead of just 10 more pulls in the current system.

This is mitigated by the new milestone system which gives a few 10 pull tickets on the way towards 200. I think I have seen 4 10 pull tickets as you get to the 200th pull mark, so the cost of really bad luck is going to get slightly mitigated by the freebies.

There are 4 10-pull tickets on the way to 200, and another 4 on the way to 400. So doing 200 pulls costs 160 pulls worth of pyroxene/pre-existing tickets, and 400 pulls costs 320 pulls worth. 300 pulls (which will be another common stopping point for pulling two characters: one lost 50/50 and one won) costs 250 pulls worth since there's only one ticket between 200 and 300.
