Normal 2PU Comparison

miyabisun/arona-gacha-calc

Going after two students on normal pickup banners, where spooks cannot help. Pull A first, then B, and compare Recruitment Points against Recruitment Charge.

Assumptions
  • Each PU student appears at 0.70%. Under Recruitment Charge that becomes 50% at charge 99 and 100% at charge 199.
  • No spook is expected: the 2.3% off-PU 3★ slice is split across 100+ students, so any single one is negligible.
  • Every ten-pull recruitment grants 50 shards.
  • The first-time pickup bonus is granted only by pulling the selected student or exchanging Recruitment Points.
  • Recruitment Points are shared across concurrent PU banners; 200P exchanges any one student.
  • The moment A lands, move to B's banner.

Verdict

Recruitment Charge saves 5,557 Pyroxene at the cost of 111 Eleph.
Eleph chase: 46.3 pulls → 149 Eleph

Recruitment Points earns more Eleph because pulls and the exchange work independently — at the price of only being able to stop on 200-pull boundaries.

Recruitment Points

Select student A mechanically; the moment she lands, move to student B's banner. The branch depends only on where things stand at pull 200.

Even with both in hand, the run completes all 200 pulls, rolling 0.7% duplicates (100 Eleph + 50 shards) along the way. Overtime ends the moment B lands.
