Guaranteed ★4 or Higher Character

In this gacha, if you perform 9 pulls that all result in weapons, your next pull is guaranteed to be a ★4 or higher character.

For details on available characters, please refer to Gacha > Appearance Rates/History > Appearance Rates > Appearance Rates for Guaranteed ★4 or Higher Character.

*This guarantee applies whether you perform a 10-pull or 10 single pulls.

*This guarantee also applies whether you perform 10 pulls on the same gacha or a total of 10 pulls across different gachas.

*Steps with a guaranteed ★5 character are excluded from this guarantee setting, and you are guaranteed to obtain a ★5 character on the 10th slot.

*You can check your past gacha results by going to Gacha > Appearance Rates/History > History.

*Gacha results from the "Standard," "Pickup," or "Ad" type gachas do not affect this gacha's guarantee setting. You can check the gacha type on the Gacha screen and in Gacha > Appearance Rates/History > History.
