Tears of Themis employs a gacha system that allows players to pull cards featuring their favorite male leads. There are multiple kinds of banners: the standard banner that contains the core card lineup, the rotating banner that features two SSRs on rate-up, event-exclusive banners, birthday banners, and limited banners.
With so many different gacha pools with varying mechanics, it’s easy to get confused over which banner to prioritize to maximize your S-Chips and Tears. Here, we’ll run you through everything you need to know about limited banners.
Limited Banner vs. Event Banner
Limited banners are essentially event-exclusive banners. But unlike the normal event banners, which usually feature two SSR and two SR cards, limited bannersfeature four SSRs—one for each male lead. you’re able to’t use normal Tears to pull in limited banners. Instead, you must useLimited Tears or Special Tearsdesignated to the limited banner, which runs in conjunction with a major event, such as the Lost Riches and A Love Poem to Skadi.
It’s important to know that these Limited and Special Tears are specific to each limited banner, so be cautioned anddo not prematurely convert your S-Chips.
The limited banner lineup is presented in two ways.
Pity
The SSR pity for the limited banner is at100 pulls. Thesedon’t carry overto the next limited banner, so if you’re a free-to-player, it’s important to be smart about your resource allocation and think twice before pulling to maximize your guarantees.
However, while limited banners go on rotation or are spread across multiple banners at the same time, the pity isshared across all existing limited banners. For example, if there were four separate Luke, Marius, Vyn, and Artem limited banners at the same time, pulling 25 times in Luke’s will still exhaust 25 pulls in your Artem pity, Vyn pity, Marius pity, and so on.
