The reported pity thresholds
Anime Expeditions uses a pity counter to limit how many unsuccessful summons you can make before receiving a higher-rarity unit. Current launch-week documentation consistently reports Legendary pity at 20 pulls and Mythic pity at 50 pulls on the main summoning system.
| Target rarity | Reported guarantee | What to check in game |
|---|---|---|
| Legendary | 20 pulls | Counter on the active banner |
| Mythic | 50 pulls | Whether the counter is shared or banner-specific |
This does not mean pull 20 always gives a Legendary and pull 50 always gives a Mythic in every possible banner. Beginner, Standard and short-lived Mini banners can have different pools or conditions. Read the text next to the counter before spending, especially during launch events.
Does pulling a Mythic reset Legendary pity?
The safest assumption is that receiving the guaranteed rarity resets the relevant counter, but the exact interaction between simultaneous Legendary and Mythic counters needs repeatable live-client testing. If a Mythic appears before pull 20, record both counter values before and after the summon rather than relying on the animation.
Do the same when changing banners. Some games share pity across a banner family while others keep a separate counter for every pool. Anime Expeditions should be treated as banner-specific until the interface or official patch notes explicitly confirm transfer.
Single pulls versus ten-pulls
Ten-pulls save time; they do not automatically improve the probability unless the banner details say they include a bonus. When you are close to a guarantee, single pulls give you more control because you can stop immediately after getting the target rarity.
A practical approach is:
- Use ten-pulls while far from pity.
- Switch to singles near the guarantee if the game allows it.
- Stop once you obtain the role your team needs.
- Preserve the remaining Gems for evolution, a future rate-up or the next full pity cycle.
The key number is not the cost of one pull. It is the total number of Gems required to reach the guarantee from your current counter. Check that total before starting.
A safe beginner summon plan
Redeem every code on the Anime Expeditions codes page before opening a banner. Complete Beginner Path rewards and other one-time objectives, then inspect the featured pool. If your roster lacks wave clear, favor a broad-area carry. If normal waves are stable but bosses survive, target single-target damage.
Do not split your launch resources across three banners simply because each features an appealing unit. Thirty pulls in one place can be meaningful progress; ten pulls in three isolated counters may leave you far from every guarantee.
What can invalidate this guide
Launch balance and economy settings change quickly. A patch can alter thresholds, introduce a new banner type or change whether pity transfers. The number displayed in the current game client is always stronger evidence than a screenshot or guide written before the latest server update.
Whenever a counter behaves differently from this page, save the before-and-after values and the banner name. That evidence is more useful than a vague report and helps the community distinguish a genuine rule change from a visual bug.
Once you know how far your guarantee is, use the Anime Expeditions tier list to choose a role—not merely the unit with the loudest hype.
