This is the kind of Gacha Karma that'll make the next Limited Banner an easy Sweep (unless I just jinxed it for myself)

What's funny to me is that you and him both don't know what a real sh*t gacha system is like.

I'm glad to remind you of the pain.

BE Paladin was my main.... in Burning Crusade.... I did get to tank some raids with him a bit before switching to Ret for Frozen Throne. As undesired as BE Paladins were in BC there was 1 silver lining in that they completely trivialized Shattered Halls. So running that with my friends was always a blast.

Path to Nowhere

You mean the famelic gacha that will give you no pulls ? Sure, you're guaranteed to get the guy on the banner for the second six stars you pull. But each individual pull is 1.5% instead of 2%, and the pity goes to 70. So it's 140 pulls. And as a comparison, it's also 90 whatever cleardrops daily and 100 weekly, that's ~3100. You've got 17 pulls monthly with a 1.5% rate. That's, roughly if my math isn't incorrect, 22.5% to land a 6 star monthly. While AK you have 100 daily, 500 weekly, and annihilation, that's a total of ~12200 monthly. 21 pulls at 2% rate. PLUS 5 from the commendation shop, PLUS the free 3/4 and occasional 5 and 6 stars from recruitment. Just from the 26 pulls at 2%, that's 41% chance to land a 6 star. From recruitment I don't know if there are stats, but personally I'm roughly at 1.5 month for a 6 stars. And we don't know how generous Reverse is going to be with free pulls later with events and stuff, but we know AK is giving 10 to 20 free pulls and has usually 5 pulls in the event shop. I prefer having the wrong 6 star than being forced to whale to even have the chance to have a 6 star.

@@ZheinPasRoux You forgot factoring in the extra pulls you get from Limbo, it's equivalent of the Abyss/Annihilation- along with the 10 monthly pulls you get from the shop with the Track of the Lost resource. With dailies, weeklies, sign in, limbo, monthly shop and the free BP It would total to 36 pulls in a month without considering any events. You're also ignoring the fact that Arknights' 100% guarantee before a 6 star is actually higher than Reverse 1999. It's 70 at the very most in Reverse assuming worst case scenario, while Arknights could still go beyond that for a true guarantee. And of course depending on the player you are, quantity of pulls isn't necessarily better. You'd want to take into account the overall usefulness of an operator into your account as well. If I pull 2 Sieges and a Pallas before I pull an Ines, is that really going to be more satisfying than if I had only gotten 2 6 stars and my desired character was the second? Sure I got more, but how many of these characters would be equally as good as the one I want? Having more security can be greater than having more pulls, if those pulls have a good chance of being duds. You're overexaggerating the stinginess of Reverse 1999 and the generosity of Arknights. You don't need to whale in that game, the difference between 1.5% and 2% per pull isn't even massive. And practically every 6* unit in that game so far, barring one, has been a top tier unit. Even some of the 5* rate ups are dominant in the meta

Their pity system might be better (Gen & Honkai) but pulls are much more scarce, so comparing them is not that simple

it feels like you havent played arknights. you just looks on the % without even checking how much f2p pulls you can get in a month.
