Zhuang + Sig Weapon Is Recommended

In the currently available gacha, it is recommended to pull for the Zhuang Fangyi Headhunting "Thunder of Renewal" along with her signature weapon "Lone Barge".

Zhuang Fangyi is a powerful Electric main DPS, and she has the advantage of being easy to build around without relying on other limited 6★ units, making her a strong and flexible core for your team.

Beginners Should Pull on New Horizons

New Horizons Headhunting is a beginner banner that you can pull by progressing through the Main Missions. A permanent 6★ character is guaranteed to appear within 40 pulls, and you will also receive a 6★ weapon selector box after completing all 40 pulls.

Obtain 40 Pulls by Progressing the Story

You can obtain the "New Horizons 10-pull HH Permits" for all 40 pulls by progressing through the story. There is no time limit, so you can proceed with the game at your own pace and pull until the end.

Daily Tasks To Do

Only Use Tickets for Basic Headhunting

You can collect Permits to pull for the Basic Headhunting banner by simply playing through the game. It is recommended to use your Permits for basic Headhunting, while saving your Oroberyl for Chartered Headhunting.

Get Weapon Currency from Character Banners

Besides Oroberyl, you can use Arsenal Permits to pull on the Weapon Banners. Arsenal Permits are obtained every time players pull from the available character banners. Use the Arsenal Permits first, then use Oroberyls once you have run out of them.

Recommended Weapons & How to Get

Current Banner Details

Zhuang - Thunder of Renewal (Character Rate-Up)

Thunder of Renewal is a Headhunting banner featuring Zhuang Fangyi as the pickup unit.

Zhuang Fangyi is a powerful Electric main DPS who consumes Electrification in combat, offering extremely high damage output. She can execute full combo loops on her own while in her Ultimate state, making her very consistent in fights.

Tangtang / Rossi Also Available Outside the Pickup

Outside of the featured pickup, "Tangtang" and "Rossi", who were featured in previous limited Headhunting banners, can also appear.

Drifting Raft Issue (Weapon Rate-Up)

Drifting Raft Issue is a Headhunting banner featuring Lone Barge, Zhuang Fangyi's signature weapon.

Lone Barge grants stackable Electric DMG UP when consuming Arts Reactions, and also boosts Electric DMG upon Ultimate activation, significantly enhancing Zhuang Fangyi's overall damage output.

Lupine Scarlet Issue (Weapon Rate-Up)

Scarlet Issue is a Headhunting banner featuring Lupine Scarlet, Rossi's signature weapon.

Lupine Scarlet greatly increases Agility and Critical Rate, and activates a stackable Physical/Heat DMG boost (up to 16 stacks) when landing Critical hits, making it a strong weapon for maximizing Rossi's damage.

Budding Anew Issue (Weapon Rate-Up)

Budding Anew Issue is a banner with a rate-up for Tangtang's signature weapon, Brigand's Calling.

"Brigand's Calling" is a weapon that can significantly increase Cryo DMG and the Arts DMG enemies take, greatly boosting the damage of the entire team, not just Tangtang.

Basic Headhunting Gacha Banner

Basic Headhunting is a permanent banner where select 6-Star characters are available at a fixed probability.

You can pull using Basic HH Permits or Oroberyls. However, since limited characters are generally more powerful than permanent ones, it is recommended to reserve your Oroberyls for Chartered Headhunting.

6-Star Characters Available in Basic Headhunting

When Is the Next Gacha Update?

On May 14 (Server Time)

Fest of Brilliance Headhunting

The Fest of Brilliance Special Headhunting begins on May 14, 2026 (Server Time). Featured 6★ operators include Laevatain, Gilberta, Ardelia, and Pogranichnik. Note that the guarantee count for this banner is tracked separately and does not carry over between other banners.

Weapon Issue Reruns

Alongside the Fest of Brilliance banner, the Smelting Fire Issue and Swift Fire (formerly Delivery Guaranteed) Issue weapons will rerun on May 14, 2026. These weapons will be available in the Arsenal Issue and include the signature weapons of Laevatain and Gilberta, making them worth pulling if you missed them previously.

Gacha Pity System

Gacha Pity System and Rates

Pity Varies Per Banner Type

Pity between the banners all vary with separate pity counters from each other. It also worth noting that the 120 Pull Guarantee for Chartered Headhunting does not carry over to the next featured banner.

About Drop Rates

If you don't get a 6-Star character in 65 consecutive pulls, the 6-Star drop rate will increase by 5% with each subsequent pull. You are guaranteed a 6-Star on the 80th pull. These rates reset after you get a 6-Star.

The 120-Pull Pity Does Not Carry Over to the Next Banner

The 80 pull rate-up 6★ pull (soft pity) carries over to the next banner, but the 120 pull guaranteed operator (hard pity) resets when the banner updates. For this reason, it’s recommended to save enough banner resources for 120 pulls before attempting to obtain a featured character.

Chartered Headhunting Character Drop System

After their rate-up ends, the characters from a Chartered Headhunting will be added to the off-rate pool for the next two Chartered Headhunting events. Once those two events conclude, they are removed from the pool and become unobtainable until their Headhunting rerun.

Tips!

It's also possible that a character who will be featured in a later Chartered Headhunting banner may be added to the non-rate-up pool of a Chartered Headhunting banner beforehand.

Gacha and Pity Costs

Each Pull Costs 500 Oroberyls

Each pull costs 500 Oroberyls, which equates to 5,000 Oroberyls per 10 pulls.

10 & 120 Pull Prices

*The calculations above assume that the player has no Double Bonuses available.

Given that 1 Origeometry is worth 75 Oroberyls, the cheapest price for 10 pulls will cost 22.98 USD, whereas 120 pulls will cost 283.94 USD.

How to Unlock Gacha

Unlocked by Completing the Tutorial

The Headhunting Banners are unlocked by clearing the story's tutorial. When you reach the TP point, the main menu will be unlocked along with the ability to pull from the Gacha banners.
