Three Currencies
| Currency | How you get it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Rainbow Cards | Paid only | Convert to Black Cards at 1:10 |
| Black Cards | Earned and paid | Main pull currency; converts into any R&D Ticket |
| R&D Tickets | Bought with 250 Black Cards each | One pull on a specific banner type |
Figures from Topuplist’s June 2026 currency guide. So everything comes back to Black Cards: 250 per pull on every banner.
Free Sources
- Daily and weekly missions.
- Story stages: 50 Black Cards per new stage clear.
- The Celica tutorial: 50 per stage, six stages.
- Interlude stages: 30 each.
- Level-up rewards, login bonuses and events.
Topuplist estimates a dedicated free player earns about 4,500 to 5,000 Black Cards a month, enough for 18 to 20 pulls.
Pity Math
| Banner | Guarantee | Black Cards |
|---|---|---|
| Theme Limited (S-Rank) | 60 pulls | 15,000 |
| Member Recruit, new accounts | 40 pulls | 10,000 |
| Member Recruit, standard | 60 pulls | 15,000 |
| Target or Basic Weapon (6★) | 30 pulls | 7,500 |
Every 10th pull guarantees at least an A-rank, BlueStacks notes. Topuplist also lists rate-ups of 70% for the featured Construct and 80% for the selected weapon, but its own text is inconsistent about how pity behaves, so check the banner details in game before you budget.
At about 5,000 a month, a full Theme Limited pity takes roughly three months of saving. Decide which Construct you want before you spend.
Spending Plan
- Use the 40-pull new-account Member Recruit guarantee first; it is the cheapest S-Rank you will get.
- Save for limited Constructs you actually want rather than pulling on every banner.
- Pair a Construct with its signature weapon only when you have the cards for both.
Top-Ups and Accounts
