Anchor Panic Gacha System Explained
The gacha system in Anchor Panic is the foundation for building your strongest team. Summoning top-tier Operators, choosing which banners to pull on, and understanding the pity system are essential for both free-to-play (F2P) and pay-to-win players. This comprehensive guide explains all core mechanics, so you never waste resources.
How the Gacha System Works
Anchor Panic uses the Link Search system for summoning new Operators. The basic mechanics are:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Link Permits | Main pull currency, bought with Crystal Ashes |
| Crystal Ashes | Premium resource, earned through story, dailies, and events |
| UP Link Banners | Event banners with boosted rates for specific SSR units |
| Pity System | Guaranteed SSR after 50 pulls on a banner |
| SR Operators | Frequently pulled, solid early-game utility |
After completing the tutorial, you’ll get free pulls and can redeem codes for additional Link Permits (Gamerant Codes List).
Banner Types & Limited Units
Anchor Panic offers multiple banner types:
- Regular Banner: Pulls include all standard SSR/SR/R units; slower progression.
- UP Link Banner: Features rate-up SSRs/events, ideal for targeting meta units.
- Onboarding Banner: Beginner-friendly, includes SSR Merlot and solid SR supports.
Event and seasonal rate-up banners increase your chances for limited and new release SSRs. Always prioritize banners for future-proof operators like Tern, Karanissa, Tiya, and Echo (Pro Game Guides Tier List).
Pity System & Guaranteed Summons
The built-in pity system guarantees you’ll get an SSR after 50 pulls on a single banner, regardless of luck. This means every player can secure strong units, especially using codes and saving currency.
| Pull Count | Guaranteed Result |
|---|---|
| Every 50 | Assured SSR Operator |
Tip: Save Crystal Ashes for rate-up banners to maximize pulls and use Link Permits efficiently (BlueStacks Beginner’s Guide).
Free-to-Play vs. Paid Options
- F2P: Utilize event rewards, daily logins, and gift codes for steady pulls. Early game banners offer strong SSR and SR units.
- Paid (Optional): Starter pack ($0.99) gives SSR Ling after 3 logins, a great early boost. Monthly pass offers daily premium currency for more pulls, but isn’t mandatory.
SSR vs. SR Operator Rates
SSR Operators are rare, but the pity system ensures you’ll eventually earn one. SR Operators are common and excel as cost-effective supports until your roster grows.
| Rarity | Drop Rate | Role |
|---|---|---|
| SSR | Low | Carry, buffer, meta units |
| SR | Medium | Support, filler, early game |
| R | High | Not recommended, upgrade quickly |
Codes, Bonuses, and Maximizing Pulls
Always claim codes and event bonuses for extra Link Permits (Gamerant Codes List). Use all allowance rewards and login bonuses to pull on banners with future-proof characters.
