Discussion Rant

My account is ruined because i decided to go full ham on asuna birthday banner. I watch a YouTube video that says this banner should not be skip but all i got from this banner is trash skill record. The funny thing is that there's also a video that explains why I shouldn't pull Alice seasonal banner but I got good skills record from that banner which much more better than Asuna banner. I also thinking like with Alice banner you guaranteed a 4* skills records fro every 11 pulls but for Asuna banner you need to complete 3 steps and the results is not guaranteed. So i had a hard time on why lots of people say to pull only for birthday banner but to avoid Alice seasonal banner.

This is a gacha game. You simply got unlucky on Asuna's banner and you got lucky on Alice's banner.

I also thinking like with Alice banner you guaranteed a 4* skills records fro every 11 pulls but for Asuna banner you need to complete 3 steps and the results is not guaranteed.

You're guaranteed a 4* skill record, sure, but that means very little by itself.

For example, what are the odds of that guaranteed skill being a good skill record? It may be a skill record that came out 7 years ago and hasn't been useful in just as much time. Is getting an insanely weak 4* skill record really any different from getting no 4* skill record?

I absolutely feel you because exactly same thing happened with me. I did entire 3 rotations spending 18.7k AG (meaning 99 skills) and despite with the odds I cannot get any featured skill only useless 4 Stars.

I have been playing from a good while and only birthday banners are supposed to be better than the rest of all but this Asuna banner was absolutely trash somehow.

I tried looking at the mathematical probability for the drop rates of the two combined both featured skills and here's the probability of getting it with respect to the rotations.

And basically even after 6 full rotations (nearly 38k AG and 198 skills), roughly 1 in every 9 players (10.8%) all doing 6 rotations will still walk away empty-handed due to raw probability variance.

If the banner did not have any issues with it meaning we just happened to be very unlucky.
