What carries over?

The official Limited Board rules state that Limited Boards share the S-Class character pity counter, Points Gift and Board Modification progress. After 70 unsuccessful rolls the board becomes Modified. If none appears in 89 rolls, roll 90 grants the featured character. Obtaining the featured character resets the board to Baseline.

Cosmetic perks are separate. Do not assume a character counter means a skin milestone transfers to a different board. The September 9 notice describes same-name cosmetic progress separately from shared character pity. Arc Research uses its own program rules and keys; this character guarantee does not model its cost.

Before the board closes

  1. Confirm the character’s name, remaining counter and your server’s closing time.
  2. Check unclaimed board perks before their separate cutoff. Do not continue rolling only because a cosmetic milestone is near without calculating its extra cost.
  3. Count owned dice and unconverted Annulith once. A code reported by another site is not already in your wallet.
  4. Compare the actual role gap: a damage unit, support, survival tool or simply a character you prefer. You can save instead of spending because the timer is short.

Is Akane’s outfit a free character?

No. The October 16 publisher announcement lists House Special and two million Fons as anniversary gifts. It announces Akane’s playable release separately. Likewise, Puka’s standard-character boxes are a different reward track; inspect their eligible list before making a pull plan.
