NTE Has No 50/50: Pity System Fully Explained

The Core Mechanic: No 50/50, Just Pure Probability

For a limited character board, the practical headline is simple: you do not have a 50/50 loss state. Current July guides agree that an S-Class is guaranteed to be the featured character by 90 pulls, and that limited-character pity carries into the next limited-character board. Check the live board rules in your game client before pulling, because Arc and cosmetic boards can use different rules.

The July 8 PC Gamer banner guide and the July 6 GameWith gacha guide are the external cross-checks used here. The in-game board remains the final authority for your region.

The Soft Pity Ramp: 70 to 90 Probability Curve

The published July guides describe a soft-pity range from pull 70 through pull 89, with the chance increasing across that range. The calculator models that published 1.87% to 19.59% span as an estimate rather than presenting a hidden or flat rate:

Pull range	Planning interpretation
1–69	Do not assume an early S-Class; keep saving toward the safety ceiling.
70–89	Soft-pity range: the chance rises, but an early result is still not promised.
90	Limited-character hard-pity safety point.

Use the displayed 90-pull ceiling for a spending decision. Any earlier S-Class is welcome variance, not budget you should count on.

Hard pity applies to the limited character board

At exactly pity 90 on a limited character board, you must receive the featured S-Class character. Do not copy this ceiling to every other board type:

• Limited character board → use this guide’s 90-pull featured-character ceiling.
• Arc, standard, or cosmetic boards → read the rules shown on that specific in-game board before spending.

After receiving the S-Class, confirm the new counter displayed in your history. The next limited-character board inherits limited-character pity according to the current cross-checks; it does not mean every board shares one counter.

Cross-Banner Pity Preservation: The F2P Multiplier

NTE preserves your limited-character counter when one limited character board changes to the next.

• Limited-character pity 47 → the current board ends → start the next limited-character board at pity 47.
• Any other board type → check that board’s own counter and rules.

This means you can hedge your bets strategically:

If Shinku does not fit your account at pity 60, you can pause and carry that count into a later limited-character board. That makes “save or pull” an account-fit decision, not a fear of losing stored limited-character progress.

Strategic Implications: The 90-Pull Bank

Because the limited-character ceiling is 90 pulls, the most conservative plan is to save enough for the remaining pulls shown in your own history before committing.

Avoid using a fixed “free currency per month” forecast: event rewards and code availability change by version. Add only codes that redeem successfully, use the active event board for the rest, and treat an unannounced income estimate as a budget risk rather than a guarantee.

Pity Calculator: Estimate Your Guarantee Date

To check your current guaranteed pull date, use the pity calculator or run the math manually:

1. Enter the current limited-character pity shown by the game.
2. Enter only the pulls or currency you already have.
3. Use the 90-pull ceiling as the safety case; treat earlier results as possible, not promised.

The limited-character system rewards patience and planning, but the game client is the final rule set. Re-check it after a maintenance update before treating any saved count as a promise.
