Which guarantee carries over?

Standard: counts are independent. Two consecutive SSR Buddies make the next SSR an Adventurer. The one-time selection after 300 recruits is a separate milestone.
Beginner: the first SSR Adventurer is guaranteed within 50 recruits, with a 50-recruit total allowance. The 10-recruit SR guarantee is separate. These counts do not carry to other recruitments.
Featured recruitment: the 90-recruit SSR counter and next-SSR UP guarantee carry between Featured Recruitments. The once-per-period 120-recruit featured guarantee does not carry to another Featured or Rotating Recruitment.
Buddy recruitment: the 90-recruit SSR counter carries between Buddy Recruitments; the SSR is the featured Buddy.

Example: an eligible shared SSR counter of 40 leaves an upper bound of 50 recruits toward the 90-recruit SSR guarantee. That does not transfer 40 recruits toward a new period’s 120-recruit featured guarantee.

Rates do not give an exact N-pull forecast

A base rate is not the same as a guarantee-inclusive combined rate. The separate probability text below distinguishes those values. This calculator uses guarantee limits only: it does not assume constant odds, invent a soft-pity curve, or calculate a spending recommendation.
