What Doesn't Carry Over:

Additional Key Features:

• Urgent Requirement: 10 FREE Pulls After First 30 Pulls
• • One Time Per Limited Banner
  • Does NOT Contribute Or Spend Any Existing Pity & Counter

• Headhunting Dossier: 10 FREE Pulls For The Next Banner After 60 Pulls
• • One Time Per Limited Banner
  • Actual 10 Limited Pulls That Contribute To Next Banner’s Pity & Counters

The 6 Star Bonus Rates:

• Urgent Requirement: 1-(1-0.008)^10 = 0.07718058804 (~7.7%)
• Headhunting Dossier: First 60 Summons = 10 Refund, In The Long Term Its 1 / 6 = 0.1666 (~16.67%)

New F2P Maximized 6 ★ Strategy

• Assuming We Want As Many Limited 6 ★ As Possible, And Not Prioritizing On A Particular 6 ★ 
• 30x Pulls Per New Limited Banner = 7.7% Bonus 6 ★ Chances
• 60x Pulls =  7.77% + 16.67% ~ 24.37% Bonus  6 ★ Chances
• •  30 & 60 Pull Bonus Rates Are Independent
• Summoning Beyond 60 Just Pushing Softy Early, Does NOT Improve Any  6 ★ Rate  (Until We Reach 120 Hard Pity If We Missed All 50/50 At This Point! ) This Also Deplete The Next 50 Pulls Needed For The Next Banner Min & Max Rotation
• • Why 50 Pulls, Its Because Of The Headhunting Dossier = 10 Free Pulls On Next Banner
• What If We Missed The Current Limited 6 ★ ?
• • It Will Still Be Available For 2 Banners (Current Banner Duration +34 Days For Next 2 Banners)
  • • Chances Are Now Lowered At 50% x 1 / 7
    • But This Can Still Happen
  • Maximizing Our Chances For More 6 ★ Characters Will Statistically Give Us MORE 6 ★ Overtime, and This Guarantees More Limited 6 ★ From The Previous Limited Banner

Using Chartered Headhunting: Carry-Over System

• Chances For ANY Limited 6 ★ When Any 6 ★ is Summoned
• • 50% + 2 / 7 * 0.5 =0.64285714285~ 64.3%
  • Solid Rates As We Are Getting 24.37% MORE  6 ★ Chances Using The Above Method
• This Also Take Advantage Of The 2.5 Weeks (17 Days) Limited Banner Shorter Rotation

_______________

Special Situation: Finding Off Banner Limited Units

• Keep Pushing For 120 Guarantee Here = Limited Character
• • Optional To Spend Now & Save On 1-2 Future Banners If We’ve Gotten Them Early Through Off Banner Pulls
  • • This Feature Is Only Available In 1.0 (Getting Upcoming Limited Characters Before Their Banners)

Strategy For ‘Must Have’ 6 ★ Limited Character

• Summoning For 120 Hard Pity
• • Estimated 170+ F2P Limited Pulls In Patch 1.0
  • • Keep A Track On How Many We’ve Pulled So Far
  • Go Into Saving Mode (0 Pulls For Other Banners)
  • • Plan For New Events & Daily Logins Rewards When Targeted 6 ★ Banner Appears & Expires

Is It Worth To Summon Just For 30 On Limited Banner?

• 7.7% 6 ★ Bonus Chance
• But Delays The 60x Pull On Next Banner
• So Its Not Advised Just Doing 30
• • Unless We Can Guarantee Having 60 Pulls For Next Banner
  • Which Is Harder, With Only 2.5 Weeks Per Banner
• Much Better To Just Save Up & Don't Summon At All

TLDR Summary:

• Pull Exact 60 Times Per Limited Banner = 24.37% MORE 6 ★ Chances
• • This Bonus Is Much Lowered As We Do Irregular Pulls Under Or Over 60 Pulls
• Not Enough For 60? Best Not Pulling At All
• • Or Doing At Least 30 Pulls If We Can't Resist: 7.7% 6 ★ Bonus Chance
• Start To Plan & Save Up For 1-2 Banner If There Is A ‘Must Have’ 6 ★ 
• • Will Deduce Bonus 6 ★ Rotation Efficiency But Cant Miss That Waifu/Husbando! 

Can We Sustain This Strategy? 

• 60 - 50 - 50 Pulls Per Banner
• • 60 On Initial Banner To Reach The Headhunting Dossier 
  • Then 50 Pulls To Keep Getting Next 60 / 60 For More Dossier 
  • In Total We Need 160 In Patch 1.0
  • Then 150 In Each Patch Follow 1.1+
• Current F2P Income In 1.0 = 170+ Limited Pulls (See Endfield 1.0 F2P Income Guide)
• • Likely MORE From Codes + 10 Free Pulls Mail + Livestream + Web Events
• What If We Already Spent/Summoner Deeply In The Current Banner?
• • Considering Saving Up For This Rotation
  • Skip 1-2 Banners, Have 60-100+ Pulls
  • Then Start 60 - 50 - 50 - 50….
  • To Guarantee 24.37% MORE 6 ★ Chances
