Yvonne’s Banner in Arknights: Endfield Lets Players Build Pity Across Multiple Events

Carry-over pity is a rare kindness in gacha games. Arknights: Endfield’s latest limited-time banner, the [Resplendent Spectrum] RE-Factor Headhunting #1, lets players keep their pull progress even if they skip the current offer and wait for the next one. That changes the math for anyone deciding whether to roll for Yvonne, the 6-star operator headlining the event.

The banner launches on September 24, 2026 at 12:00 server time. For players in Asia, that is UTC+8. For those in the Americas and Europe, it is UTC-5. The event runs until the next version update maintenance, though the exact end date has not been confirmed in official materials. Anyone who wants to participate must first complete the main mission Chapter I Process I: Break the Siege.

Yvonne is not the only featured item. The accompanying weapon banner, [Tag Artist Issue] RE-Factor Issue #1, puts the 6-star handcannon Artzy Tyrannical in the spotlight.

How the 120-pull guarantee works

The headline number is 120. If Yvonne does not appear within 120 pulls on the headhunting banner, she is guaranteed on the 120th. This guarantee can trigger only once across all [Resplendent Spectrum] RE-Factor banners, but the pull count carries over to future banners of the same type. Players who stop at 90 pulls this time will start at 90 on the next one.

Milestone rewards make the path easier. At 30, 60, and 90 pulls, players receive 10 urgent recruitment pulls each, adding up to 30 free pulls across the three milestones. This bonus also triggers once across all RE-Factor banners, and progress toward each milestone carries over.

For those going past 120, every 240 pulls across all RE-Factor banners grants one Yvonne’s Token. The official materials do not specify what the token does.

The weapon banner’s two-tier pity

Artzy Tyrannical’s banner uses a different system. If a player goes three consecutive issues without obtaining any 6-star weapon, the fourth issue guarantees one. This guarantee applies only to the current issue and does not carry over.

The rate-up guarantee is separate. If Artzy Tyrannical does not drop within the first seven issues, it is guaranteed on the eighth. This guarantee triggers once across all [Tag Artist Issue] RE-Factor banners and does carry over, making it the safer long-term bet.

Issue rewards alternate between [Arms OC: Tag Artist] and [Artzy Tyrannical (Handcannon)] based on the number of attempts. Accumulated attempts carry over to future RE-Factor Issue banners.

Who should pull and who should wait

Official materials do not detail Yvonne’s skills, role, or combat performance, so judging her meta relevance is impossible before the banner goes live. What players can evaluate is the efficiency of the pity system.

Free-to-play players who can save enough currency to reach 120 pulls are guaranteed Yvonne. The 30 free milestone pulls reduce the effective cost. Players who fall short still benefit, because their pull count carries over to the next RE-Factor banner.

Low-spenders get the same advantage. No pull is wasted on this banner as long as the player might pull on future RE-Factor banners.

Whales going for duplicates can aim for the Token Tribute at 240 pulls. Each repeat grants one Yvonne’s Token, though its purpose remains unexplained.

Artzy Tyrannical is a bigger commitment. The 8-issue rate-up guarantee carries over, but the 4-issue general 6-star guarantee does not. The exact pull cost per issue is not stated in official materials, so players should budget accordingly. This banner is best for those who know they need the handcannon and are willing to invest across multiple events.

What to do before September 24

Two tasks come first. Complete Chapter I Process I: Break the Siege to unlock the banner. Check your pity count from previous RE-Factor banners, since that progress carries forward.

Stocking headhunting currency and issue attempts ahead of time gives players the flexibility to reach the 30, 60, and 90-pull milestones without scrambling at the last minute.

The 120-pull guarantee and the carry-over mechanics make Yvonne’s banner one of the more approachable limited-time offers in Arknights: Endfield. The weapon banner demands more, but its rate-up guarantee also survives across events. What Yvonne actually does in combat, and whether she fits a given roster, is something players will learn after the banner goes live.
