Ultimate Black Friday Wishlist for Gacha Players (Skins, Units, Systems)

Duet Night Abyss Artwork 13

If gacha players could design their dream Black Friday, it would be less about cash-shop “sales” and more about free cosmetics, selectable units, and permanent quality-of-life systems that respect time and money. This wishlist pulls from community discussions, pity-system breakdowns, and anniversary reward trends across modern gacha games.​

Dream Skins: Free, Earnable, and Not Gacha-Locked

Players consistently ask for more high-quality skins that are free or grindable, not locked behind random costume gachas or expensive Black Friday bundles. Ideal events would offer:​

  • At least one limited Black Friday skin obtainable via event currency, missions, or a “pick one” selector box, no gacha required.​​
  • Skin reruns handled through tokens or shops where you earn skin currency over time, avoiding pure RNG on cosmetics.​

Wishlist example: “Complete the Black Friday questline, earn tokens, and choose any one of three premium skins, no loot box.”​​

Dream Units: Selectors, Fair Pity, and Reruns

On the unit side, the perfect Black Friday would combine free characters with powerful, transparent safety nets.​

  • A free 4★ or 5★ selector ticket letting you pick from a curated pool of standard units or past seasonal favorites, as seen in some anniversary events.​
  • Extra pity support on limited banners, such as a reduced pity threshold for the event, or mileage systems where spending builds toward a guaranteed featured unit, similar to Nikke’s Gold Mileage exchange.​
  • Rerun banners for popular units tied to Black Friday with clear pity that carries over, so you never feel punished for skipping a patch.​

Wishlist example: “Do 90 pulls and choose one of three limited 5★s from a selector, with any pity progress carrying into future banners.”​

Dream Systems: Player-Friendly Pity and QoL

For systems, players want long-term structural changes more than one-week discounts.​

  • Account-wide, transparent pity that is clearly displayed, shared across relevant banners, and never reset without compensation.​
  • Permanent QoL like sweep/auto-clear for old content, faster dailies, and better load times, so you can enjoy multiple games without burnout.​
  • “Upgrade love” for low-rarity units, systems that let you invest rare items to break level caps or rarity limits, making favorites viable without chasing endless new 5★s.​

Wishlist example: “Alongside Black Friday, implement visible pity counters, a universal pity rule across banners, and a system to ascend 3★ favorites with special tokens.”​

Ultimate Wishlist Table

CategoryIdeal Black Friday FeatureWhy Players Want It
SkinsFree/grindable premium skin via event shop or selector, plus token-based reruns instead of skin gacha. ​​Rewards loyal players without predatory RNG on cosmetics.
UnitsFree 4★/5★ selector ticket and strengthened pity/mileage on limited banners. ​Reduces pure luck dependence and lets you target favorites.
SystemsGlobal pity transparency, QoL (sweep, faster dailies), and low-rarity upgrade paths. ​Makes the game sustainable year-round, not just during sales.

In short, the ultimate Black Friday for gacha players is less about “-50%” banners and more about studios using the spotlight to add fair pity, meaningful freebies, and long-requested QoL that make the entire system feel less punishing long after the sale ends.
