While Reverse 1999 might primarily be a character-battling RPG with an extensive time-travel plot, one of its more attractive features is definitely the gacha system where you can summon your characters in the game. Similar to other gacha games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, you can save up currency or purchase it from in-game using real money and roll for a particular character banner.
But, it often happens that luck of the draw is not on your side and you don’t get your desired 6-star even after spending tons of Unilogs in a banner. That’s when the Pity system comes into play. This system makes it so that you get the character you are rolling for, after a certain amount of rerolls.
If you are also curious about summoning Arcanists in Reverse 1999 and want some help figuring out the Pity system in the game, here’s an article dedicated to that topic.

Pity System In Reverse 1999
The Pity system in Reverse 1999 makes it so that after rolling on a banner and spending countless Unilogs without getting your desired character, the game rigs your summons so that you get your character within 30 or so attempts. The Beginner Banner is guaranteed to give you a 6-star within 30 summons, while the standard banner increases the rate for the 6-star drop to 4% after 60 summons.
Hard Pity is a term when the rate for pulling a 6-star character increases by 2.5% after every summon starting from Summon #60 up to 70 where you can guaranteed one 6-star.
Does Pity Carry Over In Reverse 1999?
Yes, Pity does carry over from banners that start at the same time and to future banners of the same type. But the permanent banner called “Amid The Water” has its own individual pity system and does not share with other banners in the game.
Pity Rates
While Reverse 1999 differentiates its characters using different rarities, the Pity rate for each rarity on a banner is completely different. The higher the rarity, the lesser will be their Pity percentage in any banner of the game. The Pity rates are as follows:
| Character Rarity | Pity Rate |
| 2-Star | 5% |
| 3-Star | 45% |
| 4-Star | 40% |
| 5-Star | 8.5% |
| 6-Star | 1.5% |
Since standard banners share the same Pity rate for all 6-star characters, your favorite Arcanist technically might have a Pity rate of 0.15%. So, it is better to wait for the specific time-limited or Rate-up banner to roll for your pick in the game.
Duplicate characters, as in characters you have already summoned before, are converted into Artifices that unlock Portrays. Portrays are passive Arcanist abilities that can unlock the potential of a character.

Summoning Currency
There are a total of three types of currencies you can use for Summoning characters in Reverse 1999. They are:
- Unilogs – You can get Unilogs by completing in-game events or buying them from the store. 1 Unilog equals 1 Summon on any banner of your choice.
- Clear Drops – You can get clear drops by completing missions or events in the game or from the store. 180 Clear Drops equal 1 Unilog or 1 Summon on any banner.
- Crystal Drops – You can only buy this currency from the store and convert them to Clear Drops in a 1:1 ratio Summon on any particular banner of your choice.
Banners In Reverse 1999
Banners can be of three types in Reverse 1999. They are:
- Beginner Banner – The Beginner Banner allows first-time players to get a 6-star character within 30 summons making the pity rate for this banner extremely high.
- Standard Permanent Banner – The permanent banner in Reverse 1999 called Amid the Water features all characters not featured in the rate-up banner of the game. The permanent banner has its separate pity system and reaches hard pity at 70. Once a character is done being featured in the rate-up banner, it moves on to the permanent spot.
- Limited Rate-up Banner – Rate-up banners are time-limited banners that feature new and special characters in the game. Currently, the banner is featuring Melania, the new Arcanist for the 1.1 update, and a few other new 5-star characters.
