Navigating the gacha economy requires an accurate assessment of system probability. The Signal Search operates on a baseline hard ceiling: an S-Rank drop is guaranteed within 90 pulls. Statistical data compiled across millions of recorded community warps demonstrates that soft pity activates around pull 75 to 80, dramatically increasing the drop curve before the terminal ceiling.
The primary hurdle remains the 50/50 mechanic. When landing an S-Rank signal, players face a 50% chance of securing the featured operational agent and a 50% chance of pulling a standard roster unit. Failing this coin flip activates a hard guarantee for the subsequent S-Rank trigger. Translating this math into currency reveals clear thresholds: an absolute worst-case scenario requires 180 Encrypted Master Tapes, equivalent to 28,800 Polychromes. The accompanying W-Engine banner operates on a more forgiving scale, triggering pity at 80 pulls with a 75% base guarantee for the signature weapon.
