Beginner Banner
Beginner Banner exists to give new players a strong early roster without needing Gems. It uses its own currency, Beginner Tickets, earned by completing the Beginner event's quest line, and pulls cost only 1 Beginner Ticket each - dramatically cheaper than the 50 Gems Standard and Mini Banner charge.
Unlike the other two banners, Beginner Banner's unit pool is locked to a curated set of launch units and does not rotate over time, so there is no waiting for the right lineup to appear. It also drops no Secret-rarity units, and its Rare rate is pushed up to 85% to make early pulls feel generous.
The event's quest rewards are designed to hand players enough Beginner Tickets to reach the Mythic pity on their own, meaning a new player who finishes the Beginner event quest line is effectively guaranteed a Mythic unit from this banner without relying on luck.

Pull strategy
Since Beginner Tickets come from the Beginner event's quest line, the real strategy is finishing those quests rather than managing pull timing. The game's own event design grants enough Beginner Tickets through questing to reach the 50-pull Mythic pity, so working through the quest list is the most reliable path to a guaranteed Mythic.
Because the lineup never rotates, there is no benefit to waiting for a better selection - every pull draws from the same fixed pool of launch units for the entire event.
Should you pull?
Always. Beginner Banner is free value funded by event quest rewards rather than Gems, and its pity is far cheaper to reach than either Standard or Mini Banner (50 pulls for Mythic versus 400). New and returning players should prioritize the Beginner event quest line specifically to unlock this banner's currency.
Because there is no multi-pull discount and no Secret rarity, Beginner Banner is not meant to replace Standard Banner long-term - it is a one-time head start that should be exhausted early before shifting Gem spending to Standard Banner.
