Banners are separate summon channels with different currencies and roster goals. Beginner Tickets help start a team, Gems support general or featured pulls, and event currency stays in its own lane instead of politely joining your wallet pile.

Choosing a core banner
Beginner Banner uses tickets earned from the Beginner Path and is built for forming your first usable roster. Spend those tickets there before treating the normal Gem banners as the default, since Beginner Tickets have their own job and do not help inside Standard or Mini.
Standard Banner is the broad option for filling team roles over time. Mini Banner narrows the chase around a featured Mythic, so it makes more sense when that target improves your actual team rather than merely looking lonely on the summon screen.
Reading live Rates before spending
Rates, featured pools, visible counters, and guarantee rules can differ between banner tabs. Read the in-game Rates panel on the banner you plan to use, and treat its current wording as the rule for that pull session.
Carry-over should be confirmed in the same live panel before committing Gems to a rotating Mini Banner. A counter on one tab does not prove that another tab shares it, and an old guarantee description is a poor place to park a careful savings plan.
Handling event banners
Villain Banner belongs to the Villain Invasion event and uses Villain Coins instead of Beginner Tickets or Gems. Its featured pool, rates, and guarantee details belong to the active event panel, and the banner should not be assumed to be available outside that event.
Treat event currency as a separate budget. Decide whether the active event rewards fit your team before spending, but do not plan around a past featured unit returning on the next Villain Banner.
FAQ
What is the Beginner Banner for in Anime Expeditions?
It uses Beginner Tickets from the Beginner Path to help form an early roster. Those tickets are separate from the Gems used by Standard and Mini banners.
What is the difference between Standard and Mini Banner?
Standard has a broad ongoing pool for general roster building. Mini is a focused rotating option for chasing its current featured Mythic.
Does Mini Banner pity carry over?
Carry-over wording can change with the live banner rules. Confirm it in the current Mini Banner Rates panel before spending Gems.
Do all banners share the same pity counter?
Do not assume that counters or guarantees are shared across tabs. Each banner's live Rates panel shows the rules that apply to that summon channel.
What currency does Villain Banner use?
Villain Banner uses Villain Coins earned through the Villain Invasion event, not Beginner Tickets or Gems.
Is Villain Banner always available?
No. It is a limited event banner tied to Villain Invasion, so its availability and active pool depend on the event.
