Banner Types Explained
- Limited Banners:
Feature event-only or seasonal students (swimsuit, festival, etc.), usually strongest or rarest units; return every 6–12 months. - Standard Banner:
Permanent pool, with occasional rate-ups and spark system to guarantee chosen old units (Reddit Discussion). - Split/Combo Banners:
Bundled releases of 2–4 themed units, often with shared pity or boosted rates.
JP server follows same releases, but at least six months ahead.
Banner Tips & Planning
- Anniversary & Fest Banners:
These arrive every six months (JP and global), offering best rates (6% vs standard 3%) and strongest limited units (YouTube Roadmap). Always save for these if F2P or low spender. - Accelerated Global Schedule:
Expect some banners to merge, shorten, or appear in unpredictable order compared to JP, use roadmap tools and community trackers for best predictions. - Reruns/Rate-Ups:
Units debut as limited, then eventually rerun and move to the Standard Banner, track your favorites and don’t overspend early.
