## News Mission List

News mission list is added to the News Tab as of this patch, some stages have extra missions (like Stronghold Chapters and Golden Vortex New Chapter), do make sure to check the list just in case.

## Limited Banner

This is the first Limited Banner in PGR, in which Lucia - Crimson Abyss AKA. Alpha can be obtained with a 100% rate.

Unlike other banners, the limited banners associated with a character's release event is guaranteed to drop the character whenever a 6☆ drop is obtained. It is very important to note the distinction between **Theme Limited** and **Fate Theme Limited**. Theme Limited has a 0.5% base chance for a 6☆ drop and has a fixed pity of 60 (6☆ guaranteed on 60th roll if not yet rolled). Fate Theme Limited has a ***1.5%*** base chance for a 6☆ drop but has a randomized pity between ***80 to 100***. For F2P players Theme Limited is recommended. More info on the Gacha page.

Alpha will be added to main pool of constructs at a later date.

The new 6☆ weapon Sakura will be added to the weapon pool permanently.

* **Alpha :** Lucia - Crimson Abyss
* **Kamui Bastion:** Kamui - Bastion
