📚 Best Starter Pulls Explained: How to Spend Your First Summons

Starter pulls are the summons you can make from tutorial rewards, mailbox gifts, pre-registration bonuses and the first few days of missions, plus any discounted beginner banner. Beginner banners typically cost less per pull, guarantee a high-rarity result and are limited to a fixed number of summons, which makes them the best value in the entire game. They usually expire after a set number of days.

Use the beginner banner first, since it is cheaper and guaranteed. After that, hold your remaining currency instead of spraying it across every banner. Look at what your account is missing — usually a reliable damage dealer early, then a healer or support — and save for a banner that fills that gap. Spending on a character you will not build is the most common beginner mistake.

A good start is a usable team, not a specific name. If you have one character who can clear content, one who can keep the team alive, and enough materials to level them, you are fine. Check whether pity progress carries into future banners, because unspent pity is real value. Remember that free story characters arrive quickly and often fill whatever role your pulls missed.
