Astrite Per Patch: The Real Numbers
Patches last ~6 weeks. Here's what a full patch actually earns you — and what it buys in pulls.
The three budget tiers
| Playstyle | Per month | Per patch (6 wks) | Pulls per patch |
|---|---|---|---|
| F2P (full activity) | ~7,800 Astrite | ~10,900 | ~68 |
| + Lunite pass ($5) | ~10,800 | ~15,100 | ~94 |
| + occasional packs | ~14,000+ | ~19,600+ | ~122+ |
These are planning numbers, not promises — event generosity shifts patch to patch. The monthly Astrite calculator lets you tune every source to your own account.
Where the Astrite comes from
- Daily activity (60/day) — the backbone: ~2,500 per patch.
- Events — the biggest variable: 3,000–5,000 per patch depending on the lineup.
- Tower of Adversity — 2–3 resets per patch at 800 Astrite per full clear.
- Battle pass free track — ~1,100 per patch in Astrite and pulls.
- Mail & compensation — maintenance, fixes and giveaways add ~800–1,200.
- Monthly shop — 5 Lustrous Tides per month from the Coral exchange.
What 68 pulls actually buys you
A F2P patch is just short of one hard pity (80 pulls). That means:
- One 50/50 attempt per patch — win it and you get the featured character.
- If you lose, the guarantee carries to next patch's banner — so saving across two patches guarantees any single character you pick.
- Never enough for both a character and their weapon — that's the trade-off of the free budget.
The $5 Lunite pass roughly doubles your effective pull rate per dollar vs. direct top-ups —
if you spend anything, it's the first purchase to make.
