What survives a change of Hero Pick Up?
The official Lancelot notice (327) and Elaine notice (328), each checked in full on October 11, 2026, state the same transfer rules. Their reference to accumulated draws is the ordinary Hero Pick Up pity count; the notices discuss the banner’s bonus separately and explicitly exclude its transfer.
| Record before switching | Carries to another Hero Pick Up? | Meaning after switching |
|---|---|---|
| Draws since the last SSR | Yes | Remaining ordinary draws to a guaranteed SSR are 80 minus this count. An SSR still resets the count. |
| Next SSR guaranteed featured | Yes | The next SSR is the featured hero of the Hero Pick Up you choose next, not a reservation for the previous banner’s hero. |
| Progress toward a banner’s 120th Draw Bonus | No | The new banner has its own gauge. Old progress does not add to it and is valid only during the old event’s period. |
Example: 60 pity with no featured guarantee
Suppose you leave one Hero Pick Up with 60 draws since the last SSR, no next-SSR featured guarantee, and 60 progress toward that banner’s bonus. Enter another Hero Pick Up that you have not drawn on. The carried pity puts an SSR within at most 20 additional draws, but that SSR is still subject to the 50% featured chance. Your new banner’s bonus starts at zero, not 60.
The ordinary worst-case route to the selected featured hero is 20 draws to an off-featured SSR plus up to 80 more to the guaranteed featured SSR: 100 additional draws. The new banner’s unused bonus would take 120. Therefore 100 is the smaller conservative bound if you stay on that new banner. Having 20 tickets here guarantees an SSR, not the selected hero.
Example: the featured guarantee also carries
Now suppose the same 60 pity follows a non-featured SSR, so the next-SSR guarantee is active. Changing to another Hero Pick Up preserves that status. At most 20 ordinary draws are needed for that banner’s featured hero. You do not need to finish the old banner to preserve the guarantee, and you do not receive its old featured hero automatically when you draw elsewhere.
This is also why drawing on an unwanted banner to “build pity” can undermine your plan: an early featured result is still possible and can use the opportunity on the wrong target. Holding tickets keeps the choice of target open.
Example: a nearly completed bonus is different
Suppose an early featured SSR arrived on draw 20, then you reached banner draw 110 without claiming the bonus. The bonus remains only 10 draws away because an early featured result does not reset its gauge. Moving to a banner you have never used does not bring those 110 bonus draws with you. Your SSR count and any guarantee status follow their own rules.
If you still want an extra copy and can afford the remaining 10 draws, finishing the old banner’s bonus is a separate decision. If you do not want that copy, a nearly full gauge does not require you to spend. When the old event closes, its unused bonus progress has no carryover value.
How to check a switch in game
- Confirm that both events are labeled Hero Pick Up. A similar looking screen or the same featured character name is not enough to establish the category.
- Record the last SSR in your Hero Pick Up draw history, the number of subsequent draws, and whether that SSR activated a featured guarantee.
- Record the selected banner’s 120th Draw Bonus gauge and whether its one-time reward has already been awarded.
- Open the intended destination banner and inspect its displayed progress and Rate Info before drawing. Do not add the previous banner’s bonus to this gauge.
- If the ordinary pity or guarantee state appears inconsistent with the notice, capture the relevant event screens and draw history and contact in-game support before spending further. The notices do not describe every UI display or update delay.
Does this apply to other banner types?
The official transfer statement is from one Hero Pick Up to another Hero Pick Up. It does not establish transfer to Regular Hero, Selective Pick Up, or Exclusive Skin draws. It also does not turn a skin ticket into a hero ticket. The separate Lancelot skin event states that its unused Exclusive Skin tickets do not expire; ticket validity is a different question from hero-pity inheritance.
The current two hero events end at the October 28 maintenance, UTC. These notices do not name a successor or its format. Preserve your records and check that successor’s own rules rather than assuming every future event uses the same system.
What remains unspecified?
The notices call the 120 reward a bonus without explaining its effect on the ordinary SSR counter or featured-guarantee flag. After receiving it, read those values again. We do not assume the bonus consumes or preserves either state. The switching examples above are deductions from the announced rules, not reports of tested account behavior.
For the full reset rules and terminology, read 80 pity and the 120th Draw Bonus. For a budget that considers both routes together, use the pull-or-save guide. For live availability, use the current banner tracker.
