Revision as of 21:53, 23 December 2022

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)

To see list of past and current pick up banners, see Banner History.

Premium Scout Items

These items are usually available for purchase, with most only available within packs sold for a limited time. For more information refer to Shop and/or Items.

Partner Referrals

Partner Referrals allow you to scout a random character, within a specified pool of characters, of a specific rarity/ies based on it's tier or description. They do not expire.

Referral Pool
Type of Character Pool
General Up to latest banner. (Unconfirmed)
1st Half-Anniversary Up until Banner 12 (Released 6/24/2022, Half-Anniversary Banner)
1st Anniversary Up until Banner 23 (Released 12/9/2022, Holey-Night Banner)

Note: It is unconfirmed if a past ticket can pull a future unit if used on a later date.

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. They have been sold on the 1st half-anniversary and 1st anniversary shop promotions. They do not expire.

Ticket Pool
Type of Character Pool
1st Half-Anniversary Up until Banner 11 (Released 6/10/2022, Chapter 1 pick up banners)
Bright Summer Fest A Leonhart (Summer), Fu (Summer), Rai (Summer)
Bright Summer Fest B Jalam (Summer), Flet (Summer), Hanzo (Summer)
Bright Summer Fest C Nitro (Summer), Brute (Summer), Ragnar (Summer)
Bright Summer Fest D Billford (Summer), Lute (Summer), Pugi (Summer)
1st Anniversary Up until Banner 16 (Released 9/9/2022, Chapter 2 pick up banners)

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. Recommendation Letters do not expire.

Some characters are scouted for free as main storyline quest rewards, which are previewed as recommendation letters on the rewards preview, though they are immediately consumed once obtained. See Main Storyline for more info.

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.

Flyers Drop Rates

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

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. Based on what players have been able to summon since half-anniversary rolled out, it is likely that the pools now cover up to the latest banners, but not including limited-time characters.

Flyers Scout Rates

7000 consecutive flyer scouts resulted in the following quantities for rates:

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%

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.

Calculations for Obtaining Rates

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)

Why am I not getting a featured rare character?

Obtaining featured characters can be difficult, even as a 5-star. In this example it took 300 scouts (1200 stones) to scout the featured 5-star【Water-Fun Captain】Billford. Take note of the many off-banner rares and other featured characters that were scouted before he was.

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.
