OUTERPLANE Banner System Changes: Pity Carry-Over and Saving Guide

Stop spending Ether and Special Recruitment Tickets on active rate-up banners immediately unless you can reach the full 200-pull pity ceiling before the maintenance update. The upcoming recruitment overhaul introduces persistent pity carry-over between featured rate-up banners, eliminating the penalty of unspent partial summons.

Under the current model, failing to reach 200 summons leaves you with stranded mileage that converts into general shop currency instead of progressing toward your next target hero. Waiting for the system update ensures that every summon you make retains value across banner rotations.

How the Pity Overhaul Changes Featured Summons

The banner overhaul resolves the "all-or-nothing" requirement on featured rate-up banners by synchronizing summon progression across rotations.

• Pity Carry-Over: Pull counts on featured banners will persist toward the guarantee on the subsequent featured banner. You will no longer lose your progress when a two-week banner window closes.
• Mileage Retention: Mileage accumulated prior to the patch window will be preserved or converted into Star's Memory or universal mileage, protecting your past summon investments.
• Shop Adjustment: The recruitment shop will update to match the new pity rates, standardizing hero redemption and transcendence material costs.
• Duplicate Value: Shard and recruitment point progression will be adjusted to make duplicate hero pulls more predictable for transcendence milestones.

Recruitment Pool Differences and Resource Priority

Recruitment pools follow distinct currency and carry-over rules. Use this breakdown to direct your resources effectively ahead of the overhaul:

Standard Normal Recruit Tickets do not contribute to featured rate-up pity and should never be bought with Ether. Demiurge banners maintain separate high-tier progression rules and will not share pity counters with the standard or featured pools.

When to Summon Now vs. When to Save

Your immediate action depends entirely on your current pull count:

• Sit at 0 to 199 pulls without a guarantee: Stop pulling immediately. Spending 50 to 100 pulls under the old rules risks converting those summons into standard shop tokens if you fail to reach 200. Waiting for the patch allows those pulls to count toward a persistent guarantee.
• Sit at 200 pulls on an active banner: Redeem your target hero before maintenance begins. Completing the exchange guarantees you acquire the rate-up unit without depending on post-patch conversion formulas.
• Sit at 120 to 180 pulls: Only continue summoning if you have enough saved Ether or earned rewards to hit 200 before the cutoff. If completing the guarantee requires buying currency or depleting strategic reserves, stop and allow the system transition to handle your account.

Pre-Patch Preparation Checklist

Follow these steps to protect your resources before the update goes live:

1. Stop Casual Pulling: Avoid single pulls or random multi-summons on rate-up banners.
2. Audit Mileage Counters: Review your active banner numbers to determine if standard gameplay rewards can naturally reach the 200-pull milestone before the patch.
3. Hoard Special Recruit Tickets: Save all Special Recruit Tickets for the updated featured rate-up banners so they contribute to persistent pity.
4. Hold Normal Tickets: Keep standard tickets saved until patch maintenance confirms whether recent heroes will be added to the general pool.
5. Bank Your Ether: Build a reserve of 15,000 to 30,000 Ether to trigger guaranteed acquisitions under the safer, carry-over rules once the patch launches.
