Anime Squadron Pity System: How It Works & Tips

Learn how the Anime Squadron pity system works, including pull counts, mechanics, and tips to maximize your guaranteed unit drops in Roblox.

What Is the Anime Squadron Pity System?

If you've been grinding rolls in Roblox's Anime Squadron without seeing the unit you want, you're not alone. The game features a built-in safety net called the Anime Squadron pity system, which guarantees you a high-rarity unit after a certain number of unsuccessful pulls. Without understanding this mechanic, you might waste resources or give up right before your guaranteed drop.

The pity system resets your counter only when you pull a featured or legendary unit, so tracking your progress is crucial. This guide breaks down exactly how the pity works, what the thresholds are, and how you can use them to your advantage.

How the Pity Counter Works

The Anime Squadron pity system is designed to prevent extreme bad luck streaks. Every time you perform a summon or roll without receiving a top-tier unit, your pity counter increases. Once it hits a specific threshold, the game forces a guaranteed drop of a high-rarity unit.

Based on community reports and gameplay data, here's the current structure:

Rarity Tier	Base Rate	Pity Threshold	Guaranteed Unit Type
Legendary	1.5%	80 pulls	Random Legendary
Mythic	0.5%	150 pulls	Random Mythic
Featured Unit	0.3%	200 pulls	Current Featured Unit

Important: The pity counter resets to zero once you pull a unit of that rarity or higher. For example, if you get a Legendary on pull 50, your Legendary pity resets, but your Mythic and Featured counters keep going.

Pity Reset Rules You Must Know

Many players misunderstand when the Anime Squadron pity resets. Here are the exact rules based on player experience:

Only high-rarity pulls reset their own counter. Pulling a Common or Rare unit does nothing to your pity.
Pity is per banner type. If you use the standard banner, your pity doesn't carry over to limited-time banners.
Pity carries over between banner rotations. If a limited banner ends, your progress transfers to the next limited banner of the same type.
Multi-pulls count as separate rolls. A 10x summon counts as 10 individual rolls toward pity.

Example Scenario

Let's say you're pulling on the standard banner:

Pull Number	Unit Obtained	Pity Before	Pity After
1-50	All Common/Rare	50	50
51	Legendary	50	0 (reset)
52-80	All Common/Rare	0	29
81	Mythic	29	0 (reset)

Notice how pulling a Legendary at pull 51 reset only the Legendary pity, but the Mythic and Featured counters kept going.

Best Strategies to Maximize Pity

Understanding the Anime Squadron pity system allows you to plan your pulls more efficiently. Here are actionable tips:

1. Save for Pity Thresholds

Never pull unless you have enough currency to reach the next pity threshold. If you're at 70/80 for Legendary, save until you can do 10 more pulls. Stopping at 79/80 wastes all that progress if you never come back.

Current Pity	Recommended Action
0-50	Save currency, don't pull
51-79	Pull only if you can reach 80
80+	Stop pulling until reset

2. Focus on One Banner

Since pity is per banner, spreading your pulls across multiple banners dilutes your progress. Pick one banner (preferably one with a featured unit you want) and commit until you hit pity.

3. Track Your Pity Manually

The game does not display your exact pity count. Use a notepad or spreadsheet to track:

Banner name
Current pity count for each rarity
Date of last high-rarity pull

4. Use Free Pulls Wisely

Daily free pulls and event rewards count toward pity. Always use them on the banner you're focusing on, not randomly across banners.

Common Pity Myths Debunked

Several misconceptions about the Anime Squadron pity system circulate in the community. Here's the truth:

Myth	Reality
"Pity resets daily"	Pity only resets when you pull a high-rarity unit
"Multi-pulls have better pity rates"	Each pull in a multi counts individually
"Pity carries across all banners"	Only within the same banner type
"You can't get dupes from pity"	Pity can give you a duplicate unit

How Pity Compares to Other Roblox Games

Many Roblox gacha games use similar systems. Here's how Anime Squadron stacks up:

Game	Legendary Pity	Mythic Pity	Carry Over
Anime Squadron	80 pulls	150 pulls	Yes (same type)
Anime Adventures	100 pulls	200 pulls	Yes
All Star Tower Defense	75 pulls	120 pulls	No
King Legacy	No pity	No pity	N/A

Anime Squadron offers a middle ground — not the most generous, but better than some competitors.

When to Pull vs. When to Wait

Timing your pulls can make a huge difference. Consider these factors:

Pull Immediately When:

You have enough currency to reach the next pity threshold
A featured unit you want is on banner
An event offers bonus rewards for pulling

Wait When:

You're below 50% of pity and low on currency
A new banner is rumored to arrive soon
You already have the current featured unit

Tracking Your Pity Effectively

Since the game doesn't show your exact counter, here's a simple tracking method:

Create a free account on a note-taking app or spreadsheet
Log every pull with the unit name and rarity
Calculate pity by counting pulls since your last high-rarity unit
Set reminders to check your progress weekly

FAQ

Q: Does the Anime Squadron pity system guarantee the exact unit I want? No. Pity guarantees a unit of that rarity, but it could be any unit within that tier. Only the 200-pull Featured pity guarantees a specific unit.

Q: What happens if I pull a Legendary at 79/80 pity? Your Legendary pity resets to 0, but your Mythic and Featured pity counters continue. You don't lose progress on other rarities.

Q: Does pity reset when a new banner starts? For limited banners, your pity carries over to the next limited banner of the same type. Standard banner pity never resets.

Q: How can I check my current pity in Anime Squadron? The game doesn't have a built-in tracker. You need to manually count your pulls since your last high-rarity unit.
