Scouting is the means to recruit characters into your roster. Once in possession of a character, any subsequent summons of the character will be converted to "memories" which is used for the proficiency system.
Through the Scout screen, there are four types of scouting, each requiring a specific item to do your recruitment:
- Premium Scouting (Uses Edgar's Freebie Tickets and Dragon Vein Stones)
- Partner Referrals (Uses Partner Referrals and Invites)
- Partner Scout Tickets (Uses Partner Scout Tickets)
- Recruitment Flyers (Uses Recruitment Flyers)
Some characters may be obtainable or exclusive to story quest completion for free. See Main Storyline for more info.
Partner Referrals
Partner Referrals allow you to scout a unit of a specific pool at random. Partner referrals do not expire.
- Some of these are currently available from purchasing specific bundles.
- It is currently unclear if the pool from Partner Referral is updated with new units, or not.
- An inquiry was submitted to Habbit asking if Partner Referral tickets include new units, Habbit responded "We would like to inform you that we do not currently disclose the probability rate for Partner Referral tickets."
Partner Scout Tickets
Partner Scout Tickets allow you to choose any unit you desire of corresponding rarity. Units are limited to the pool on ticket's description. Partner Scout Tickets do not expire.
- Most of these were purchasable in the shop during Half-Anniversary Event.
Recommendation Letters
Recommendation letters let you scout a specific unit. Currently there is only one obtainable Recommendation Letter, it can be bought from the shop as part of the Edgar Pack. To use a recommendation letter it must be activated from your warehouse.
Otherwise they are shown on the rewards screen for several Chapter 0 quests and are immediately redeemed when added to your warehouse. Recommendation Letters do not expire.
Recruitment Flyers
These are commonly drops from story/event quests which can recruit characters of any rarity. Notably the only way to obtain most 1 and 2 star characters, and the odds of getting any character above three starts are weighted very low. Rates and the pool for flyers are not disclosed by Habbit, so data listed here are from data gathered from player testing and observation instead.
Flyer Drop Rates
There are four type of flyers which recruits a certain amount of characters depending on tier. There is a total 90% chance to drop any of these items through only Story and Event quests. They can also be obtained through event shops.
2000 consecutive plays resulted in these rates:
| Item | Number of Scouts | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|
|
10 Blank Flyers scouts 1 character. | 65% |
|
1 Green Flyer scouts 1 character. | 14% |
|
1 Blue Flyer scouts 2 characters. | 8% |
|
1 Purple Flyer scouts 3 characters. | 3% |
*To note, consecutive plays on stages with different stamina costs (PN - 3, EW - 19, and 3-9) all had similar results. Therefore it is likely the stamina cost of quests and event they are a part of do not effect flyer drops.
Flyer Scout Rates
7000 consecutive flyer scouts resulted in the following quantities:
| Rarity | Quantity | Estimated Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1★ |
1690 |
24% |
| 2★ | 2417 | 35% |
| 3★ | 2849 | 40% |
| 4★ | 37 | 0.50% |
| 5★ | 6 | 0.10% |
| 6★ | 1 | 0.02% |
Flyers Scouting Pool
Every character available at launch is in the pool. By the first half-anniversary, the pool is expanded to include every character pullable up until that point, which was up until the two chapter 2 banners. Flyers are unlikely to contain limited-time units in the future. Currently it is unclear if the pool has been expanded again, or when it will be, but a likely indicator may be on the anniversary.

Value of Recruitment Flyer Farming
Though it is considered very unreliable to get characters through flyers, there may still be some potential value in them since you can typically garner a lot from farming events and completing story quests.
If one decides to prioritize farming flyers, here are some numbers to consider:
- Weighted Average of Characters Obtained per Quest Clear = 0.455 Characters
- Average Flyer Scouts per Day From Twenty-Four 10 Stamina Quests = 10.92 Characters
Premium Scouting
Typical way of obtaining new characters above four stars would be through premium scouting. Recruiting one character through this method requires 1x Edgar's Freebie Tickets or 4x Dragon Stones. There will be a few banners to pick from that draw from the standard scouting pool, on top of any new characters which would be exclusive to their debut banner initially, afterwards they would join the standard scouting pool. Some banners will contain limited time characters and do not get included into the standard pool after the banner is done, instead considered as limited scouting. Currently, there is no advantage to doing 10 pulls, neither is there pity system or spark system and it is unclear if Habbit has plans for any improvements on the system.
| Item | Number of Scouts | Amount Need to Pull Once |
|---|---|---|
|
Edgar Freebie Ticket | 1x |
|
Dragon Stones | 4x |
* Note: Paid stones expire 180 days after purchase, which means they are removed from your inventory if you don't use them. Free stones and stones obtained from the monthly pass do not expire. Paid stones are automatically used first when scouting.

Premium Scouting Tips
- There is a benefit to performing consecutive single pulls rather than saving for a multi-pull. If you scout the targeted featured character within the first few single pulls you no longer need to scout on the banner and you can save the remaining stones you would have used for next banner.
- Only try scouting for featured characters, trying to obtain an off-banner specific 5-star or 6-star is very difficult. If none of the featured 5-star or 6-stars interest you, don't scout.
- Prioritize scouting for limited characters. Habbit has a tendency to feature many limited alternates simultaneously, waiting for these banners to appear then attempting to scout for limited characters can net you a lot of off-banner 5-stars.
- 3-stars and 4-stars are essentially "free" characters you will clear out both of the 3-star and 4-star pools within the first few weeks of playing just by scouting them off-banner or through flyers. If you see "new" 3-stars or 4-stars being featured, and those are the only characters you want, don't bother scouting for them. You are likely to obtain these off-banner the next banner you decide to scout on.
- Missing a standard non-limited 5-star doesn't hurt as much as missing a non-limited 6 star. It's possible you will acquire many 5-stars including the one you missed off-banner on the next banner you decide to scout on. Missing a specific 6-star can hurt you a lot more, it's advised to go for 6-stars while they are featured.
- It can take anywhere from 1 to 300+ pulls without getting a specific featured character. Spending an absurd amount of stones trying to get a featured character is common. Sometimes it's best just to let it go.
- Note: Always remember that Another Eidos is just a porn game. Try to only spend money as one's own income allows, and consider simply commissioning an artist for pornography instead. Take caution that gacha mechanics are generally seen as predatory and may develop gambling addiction. If the latter is the case, please seek mental and/or spiritual counsel immediately as it can (and will) be detrimental to one's life.
Why am I not getting a featured rare character?
The Another Eidos premium scouting system centers around the concept of "All featured characters have rates greater than 1%." This is achieved by simply adding 1% to the featured characters' standard rate. The standard rate for a specific character is just the standard rate for their rarity divided by the number of characters within that rarity. The standard rates for 5 and 6 stars are low and the number of 5 and 6 stars is high, as a result there isn't much difference between scouting for a specific 5 star or a specific 6 star. At the time of writing this, the difference between scouting a specific 5 and 6 star is only 0.37%. When featured, both of 5 and 6 star rates only have 1% added to them, the difference between scouting a featured 5 and 6 star is still only 0.37%. As the number of 5 and 6 stars increase the closer the rates for a specific 5 and 6 star will become.
You may notice you scouted more featured 6 stars than featured 5 stars or that you scouted the featured 6 star before the featured 5 star. This doesn't mean the featured 5 star is more "difficult" to scout than a 6 star. 6 stars will always be more difficult to scout than 5 stars. What you are experiencing is a cognitive bias called "insensitivity to sample size." Variations from the norm will occur at smaller sample sizes. You may spend 400 stones obtaining unfeatured characters or characters you don't want, but this often isn't enough to detect the small difference of 0.37% between specific featured characters. Additionally, the odds of getting any off-banner 6 star is actually higher than the odds of getting a featured 5 or 6 star. This is because the standard rate for any 6 star is 2%, which will always be higher than a specific featured characters' rate. Obtaining an off-banner 6 star before the featured 6 star is completely normal, it just might not be the one you want. Same goes for 5 stars which have an off-banner rate of 10%, your chances of obtaining an off-banner 5 star are much greater than your chances of obtaining any featured one.
So basically don't pay too much attention to a featured 5 or 6 star character's rarity, it doesn't make too much of a difference while on-banner.
Calculations
To calculate the odds of scouting a specific unit use the following equation:
R = S/T, where R = Odds of scouting a specific unit in a single pull S = Standard rate for a unit's rarity on the banner you're currently scouting T = Total number of units currently with the same rarity on that banner If the unit is currently "Rate Up" on the banner add +1% to their calculated odds.
To calculate the probability of scouting a specific unit in N pulls at least once use the following equation:
P = 1-((100%-R)^N), where P = Probability of scouting the unit at least once R = The odds of scouting a specific unit in a single pull N = number of single pulls
An Example
Anima's Single Rate Calculation on the "Investigate the Endless Mating Season!" Pick Up R = S / T R = 2% / 20 R = 0.10% Add +1% because he has rate up = 1.10% Odds of obtaining at least one Anima in 10 of pulls on the "Investigate the Endless Mating Season!" Pick up. P = 1-((100%-R)^N) P = 1-((1-.011)^10) P = 10.47% Odds of obtaining at least one Anima in 20 of pulls on the "Investigate the Endless Mating Season!" Pick up. P = 1-((100%-R)^N) P = 1-((1-.011)^20) P = 19.85%
Limited Scouting
Specific events have characters that are only obtainable through specific banners through Scouting, and referrals, letters, and tickets through Shop.
