  • Lost Time Keys: Used for standard banners, weapon pulls, artifact banners.
  • Selector Tickets/Missions: Awarded after set pulls or event missions for guaranteed 5★.​

Pro Tips for Banner Pulls

  • Save pulls for banners featuring meta units (Florence, Li Chi), higher chance and selector safety net after 30/70 pulls.​​
  • Always use selectors as soon as they’re availablel, do not hoard if you need upgrades now.
  • Weapon banners are more generous (100% rate-up), best place to use your keys for core builds.​​
