Oh, huh. Morgan's banner showed up a day earlier than I thought. Maybe I read the dates wrong but I could have sworn in Japan it was a week after the event started which would have been tomorrow.

I GOT MORGAN ON MY FIRST FUCKING SPIN.

1 Paid SQ

AHAHAHAHA I'M THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

Congrats!

Sometimes it does be like that. I got Melusine on my very first ticket a few months ago on her banner's rerun. Though I was targeting multiple NPs so I still ended up almost cleaned out in the end lol.

Only other time I hit an SSR on the very first pull was Sitonai on an Extra-classes only banner when I wasn't even aiming for her (I was just looking to nab a copy of Salieri who was literally the only 3-star that qualified)

Wow those are some awesome pulls. I didn't realize you could also get Anastasia from this one.

Yeah. Generally speaking you can place Servants into three categories - general pool, story-locked, and limited.

General pool servants - of which Anastasia is one - are possible to get in pretty much every banner unless it's a very specific one like ones they used to run where it was "Only Saber Servants" or ones they run around Valentines/White Day where it's only female/male Servants respectively. When you pull an SSR on a banner with a rate-up there's an 80% chance it's the banner servant but a 20% it's one of the many SSRs in the general pool.

Story-locked - Servants which are made available in the always-on story banner once you progress far enough in the story. Cu Alter is an example, becoming available after beating America. As is Bedivere after beating Camelot. These tend to be some of the most annoying Servants to get because unless they specifically have a rate-up banner - which outside of their debut tends to be rare - you're only going to have a chance to get them on the story banner and your odds of getting that specific Servant are trash.

Limited - Servants that aren't available in the general pool or story banner and are only available when they run a banner for them. Morgan is one of these. Despite sounding harder to get than story-locked Servants they have banner reruns far more often than that group so in practice they're "easier" to get - but you simply have to wait for one of their banners. No amount of luck will get you them anywhere else because they simply aren't there.

And finally, technically there are also FP Gacha Servants and Welfares. FP Gacha Servants are almost all the 1 and 2*s plus Saber Lily and Habetrot (who is also story-locked behind Avalon but being in the FP Gacha is a blessing compared to the others.) And Welfares, like Gray, were discussed before. They are never in a gacha and can be obtained from completing the event that gives them out - a rare few, like BB and Altera (Santa) you can grab the event from the Rare Prism shop and get them that way but those are the exceptions. Also as mentioned, they eventually institute a system where they make them available without needing the events (for instance I'm missing some of the earliest ones because I started playing like 2.5 years into the game's release) but that only begins next year and they are releasing them a few at a time (there was actually another batch yesterday - included Summer Ishtar who was basically my AoE Rider carry in my early days. When we were talking about AoE Riders I actually looked to see if she was in any of the batches and she wasn't there which surprised me but now she is lol)
