Gacha System Guide

Understanding the gacha system is crucial for efficient resource management. Here's how it all works.

Scarborough Fair - The Board Game Gacha

NTE uses a unique board game-style gacha system called "Scarborough Fair" instead of traditional pulls. Each "pull" moves you along a board with various rewards.

Pity System Explained

Soft Pity (Pulls 75-85)

After 75 pulls without an S-rank, your odds start increasing dramatically with each pull. Most players get their S-rank between pulls 75-85.

0 50 75 (Soft Pity) 85 90 (Hard Pity)

Hard Pity (Pull 90)

Guaranteed S-rank on the 90th pull. You will never go beyond 90 pulls without an S-rank.

Spending Strategy

Important Reminder

Gacha games are designed to be addictive. Set a budget and stick to it. The game is perfectly playable without spending money.

  1. 1. Save for limited banners - Standard banner characters will come eventually
  2. 2. Do the first 50 discounted pulls on standard banner for the free S-rank
  3. 3. Plan ahead - Know which characters you want and save accordingly
  4. 4. Don't chase signature arcs unless you're a whale - they're luxury items
  5. 5. Use our pull calculator to plan your pulls and manage expectations
