Stella Sora Gacha System Explained: Pull Rates, Banner Strategies, Currency Guide
Gacha is at the heart of Stella Sora’s progression. Understanding how the system works, including pull rates, banners, and currencies, will maximize your value and help you secure top Trekkers and gear! Here’s everything you need to know for launch.
Pull Rates and Pity Mechanics
- Base 5-Star Pull Rate: 2% for Trekkers and signature weapons on their respective banners (Ifanzine reroll guide, Reddit gacha talk)
- Launch Pity: 120 pulls for a guaranteed (soft-pity) featured character, but may extend to 160 or more for weapon banners.
- If you pull a 5-Star before pity, the “coinflip” or “50/50” determines if it’s the featured or a standard unit.
- If you lose 50/50, the next 5-Star is guaranteed to be the featured one.
- Weapon Banner: Also 2% for signature gear, typically 120-160 pull pity.
- Beginner Banner: Enhanced early rates and guaranteed S-tier pulls for new accounts.
Banner Types
- Permanent Banner: Can be pulled with basic currency, always available, pool expands over time (YouTube system overview).
- Limited (Rate-Up) Banners: Feature new or meta Trekkers/weapons. Best for top unit investment; limited-time only.
- Weapon/Disc Banners: Separate pool just for signature equipment, key for maximizing your best Trekker’s power.
Gacha Currencies
- Stellanite (Gems): Universal premium currency, convertible to all tickets. Can be bought or earned.
- Sprout Ticket: Used for permanent banners, easily accumulated via daily login, achievements, and events.
- Cerulean Ticket: Premium ticket for limited rate-up banners, harder to collect, often given as event rewards or through paid packs.
- Silver Disc: Used for weapon/disc banners.
- Stellarite Dust: Gacha “spark” currency, earned per pull, exchangeable for tickets or banner shop exclusives (YouTube launch system breakdown).
General rule: 300 Gems/Sprout/Cerulean/Silver Disc per pull. Most timelines allow for 70+ free pulls at launch if you claim all rewards and codes.
Banner Strategy: How to Maximize Value
- Prioritize limited rate-up banners for strong meta Trekkers, you’ll get more value, and they may not return soon.
- Don’t waste pulls on permanent banner once you have several core units; save tickets/gems for event banners or power creep.
- Target banner milestones: If you’re close to pity, calculate if you can realistically reach it before the banner ends.
- Weapon banners are essential for min-maxers, signature gear usually greatly boosts the associated Trekker.
What About F2P?
- Stella Sora’s system is more generous than some (2% SSR rate, early/free multis, strong pity).
- F2P players should be patient and stack tickets/gems for high-impact banners, not split pulls across many banners (Game8 review).
- Use all launch codes and complete daily/weekly missions for more pulls and guaranteed selectors.
Mastering Stella Sora’s gacha means knowing your odds (2% SSR, strong pity), planning banners, and optimizing your currency. Always research the next banner, avoid spreading resources thin, and enjoy the rewarding pity system!
