The biggest bombshell from the NTE launch livestream was not a new character reveal — it was the announcement that sent every anime gacha player into a frenzy: NTE limited character banner has NO 50/50 system. Every pity trigger guarantees the featured rate-up character. This is revolutionary in the current anime gacha landscape.
This guide provides a comprehensive breakdown of all four confirmed banner types, probability distributions, comparisons with Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves, and smart pulling strategies.
- 1No 50/50 Confirmed
The producer confirmed that NTE limited banner does not include a 50/50 mechanic. When you reach pity, you receive the featured limited S-rank character 100%. In Genshin, players may need up to 180 pulls for a featured character (90-pull 50/50, then another 90 for guarantee). In NTE, only 90 pulls guarantees the featured character — double the resource efficiency.
- 1All Four Banner Types
Beginner Wish: 20 pulls guaranteed S-rank with selector (Mint or Hayate). One-time only. Recommended: Mint for DPS or Hayate for support.
Limited Wish: No 50/50, 90-pull hard pity, average ~53.5 pulls. Base 0.6% rate, soft pity from pull 74. Additionally, 120 pulls grants an exchange item to directly redeem the featured character.
Standard Wish: 90-pull pity, 50-pull S-rank selector from standard pool. Never spend limited currency here.
Weapon Wish: 60-pull gold guarantee, 80-pull featured weapon guarantee. Signature weapons provide 15-25% improvement.
- 1Comparison with Genshin/Wuthering Waves
Expected pulls for one featured character: Genshin ~93 (worst 180), Wuthering Waves ~94 (worst 160), NTE ~53.5 (worst 90). NTE players can acquire nearly twice as many limited characters with the same investment. Beginner selector and weapon pity are also significantly more generous.
- 1Probability Details
Base S-rank: 0.6%, A-rank: 5.1%, B-rank: 94.3%. Soft pity from pull 74 with ~6% increase per pull, reaching 100% at pull 90. Average ~53.5 pulls.

- 1Psychological Tips
Set spending limits. Do not chase constellations. Use pity to plan. Think long-term. Enjoy the process. NTE gacha system ranks among the most generous — the no 50/50 mechanic is the best gift to players. May your 10-pulls bring double gold!
