One of Black Beacon's event retrieval pools, Ancient Covenant offers a more targeted way of getting copies of the game's standard 5-Star characters. Select the 5-Star character you want to pull from the banner, and you will get that character whenever you manage to pull a 5-star.

Since it is a limited retrieval pool, Ancient Covenant is set to end. Time-Seeking Keys are used to pull from this banner.

Ancient Covenant Banner Overview and Rates

Ancient Covenant Gacha Rates

Drop Rarity Pull Rate
5★
(Total Chance)		 ・2.18%
5★
(Base Chance)		 ・1.00%
4★
(Base Chance)		 ・10.80%
3★
(Base Chance)		 ・88.20%

The banner has a base 1% chance of getting a 5-star character. If you don't get a 5-star character after 40 pulls, soft pity kicks in and the probability of getting the 5-star doubles, before increasing further by a multiple of the base chance for every 5 additional pulls.

If you didn't get a 5-star by the 70th pull, hard pity activates and you get the 5-star character. Once you get a 5-star character, the probability of getting another one is reset.

TIme Seeking Seals and Lost-Time Seals

If you get a 5-Star Character during a pull, you will get 7 Time-Seeking Seals (which can be used to buy items from the Time-Seeking Shop). Each 4-Star Weapon gives 2 Time-Seeking Seals, while every 3-Star Weapon gives 10 Lost Time Seals (which are used to buy items from the Lost Time Store).

If you get a duplicate 5-Star Character, you get 10 Time Seeking Seals. If that character is already at Potential Level 6, any excess duplicates are converfted to 15 Time Seeking Seals. Duplicates of 4-Star Characters meanwhile give an additional 2 Time-Seeking Marks, and when they are already at Potential Level 6, those copies will be converted to 3 Time-Seeking Marks.

Is it Worth to Pull From the Ancient Covenant Banner?

Pull When You Need a Copy of Your Character Immediately

If you have a standard 5-star character that you're building, you've run out of Lost Time Keys, and need copies of them immediately to raise their Potential, the Ancient Covenant banner could be a good option to pull from. It can also be good to pull from this banner if you want to get at just one copy of your favorite standard 5-star character.
