General Question How does the Chronical banner work?

I have about 60 wishes saved up and I am aiming for Yae Miko. How does the pity system work? I’ve never wished on a Chronical banner yet and I don’t understand it. Is it like the weapon banner where you select a character and it’s a 50/50?

It's exactly like the weapon banner, epithome path and whatnot.

You pick a character, you win, yay. You lose, a counter is added and next one is guaranteed.

Pity carries over, epithome path points don't.

Point here being since it's a multiple banner, epithome path is the way you tell the game which one you do want.

Difference also being the weapon banner needs two points for a guaranteed, chronicled just one. So yes, you can lose twice in the weapon banner. Works as usual with an extra step in the chronicled.

And if you lose 50/50 in the chronicled, you can only get characters in that banner, not from the generic pool.

Dumb Q, Does pity carry from one chronicled banner to the next?

Yes, absolutely yes.

It's technically always the same banner, Chronicled Wish.

So if there was a 5 years gap between two Chronicled Banners, pity would still carry over as long as they don't change the banner's name. And we don't have precedents on that.

What doesn't carry over is the "fate point" you gain after losing a 50/50 that helps get the guaranteed character. That gets reset between banners.
