How NIKKE Gacha Works
Answer up front: NIKKE is the honest outlier — the 4% SSR rate never ramps, there is no guaranteed-SSR pity, and the only certainty is the Gold Mileage exchange at 200 pulls. Each Special Recruit pull earns one Gold Mileage Ticket; 200 buys the featured SSR outright.

Banner Rules
| Rule | Goddess of Victory: NIKKE — Special Recruit (pick-up) |
|---|---|
| Base rate | 4.0% |
| Soft pity | None (flat rate) |
| Hard pity | None — no guaranteed top rarity |
| Rate-up share | 50% of top-rarity pulls |
| Missed rate-up | no compensation — each pull is independent |
| Spark / exchange | 200 pulls buys the rate-up directly |

The No-Pity Math
Without a ramp, the odds are pure geometric: at the standard 2% featured rate, half of all players have the banner character within 35 pulls — but one in ten is still pulling at 114. That long tail is what the mileage system exists to cap: 200 pulls is the worst case by design, not by luck. The P50/P90 panels above make the trade-off visible in a way the headline "4%" never does.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does NIKKE have a pity system?
Not in the usual sense. The SSR rate is a flat 4% with no soft or hard pity — you can go far past 200 pulls without seeing the featured character. The only guarantee is the Gold Mileage exchange: 200 pulls buys the featured SSR outright.
What are the odds of the featured SSR in NIKKE?
On standard pick-up banners the featured SSR is 2% per pull (half of the 4% SSR rate). On Pilgrim and OverSpec banners it drops to 1%. The calculator above has a switch for both banner types.
How many pulls guarantee the banner character?
Exactly 200 via the Gold Mileage shop — every Special Recruit pull grants one Gold Mileage Ticket. That is the true ceiling regardless of luck.
What is the ordinary recruit 100-point exchange?
The standard Ordinary Recruit banner accumulates exchange points at 1 per pull, and 100 points buys one SSR from a fixed lineup — a separate, older pool from the rotating Special Recruit banners.
