Silver Palace Gacha Guide: Revelation Rates & Pity Mechanics Explained
Updated October 12, 2026
Navigating the gacha system in Silver Palace can seem complex, but understanding its core mechanics will help you make informed decisions about your pulls. This guide breaks down the rates, guarantees, and rewards to help you acquire the characters and Motives you desire.
The Revelation System
In Silver Palace, summoning is known as performing a "Revelation." Each Revelation requires a specific currency called "Judgement Shots." There are primarily two types of banners where you spend these shots:
- Limited-Time Repertoires (Character Banners): These feature specific 5-star and 4-star characters for a limited duration.
- Motive Banners: These focus on acquiring powerful weapons, referred to as Motives.
Both banner types share a similar underlying pity system, which ensures you'll eventually receive higher-rarity items.
Character Banner Rates and Guarantees
Character banners are where you'll find new playable units. Here's a detailed look at the probabilities and guarantee mechanics:
Character Acquisition Rates
| Mechanic | Value |
|---|---|
| 5-star base rate | 0.8% |
| 5-star overall rate (with pity) | 1.8% |
| 4-star base rate | 6% |
| 4-star overall rate (with pity) | 13% |
| 3-star Motive base rate | 93.2% |
Character Banner Pity System
The game includes several guarantee mechanics to prevent prolonged bad luck:
- 4-Star Guarantee: You are guaranteed to receive at least one 4-star item (character or Motive) within every 10 Revelations.
- Featured 4-Star Chance: When a 4-star is pulled, there is a 50% chance it will be one of the featured 4-star characters on the current banner. If multiple 4-star characters are featured, this 50% chance is split equally among them.
- Featured 4-Star Pity: You are guaranteed to obtain a featured 4-star character within 20 Revelations. This ensures you won't go too long without getting a promotional 4-star.
- Featured 5-Star Pity: A featured 5-star character is guaranteed within 100 Revelations. Crucially, this guarantee counter resets immediately upon obtaining any featured 5-star character from the banner.
Motive Banner Rates
The Motive banner functions similarly to character banners in terms of its Revelation counter and guarantee system, but it focuses solely on weapons. It simplifies things by not having a split chance for featured characters.
Motive Acquisition Rates and Guarantees
| Mechanic | Value |
|---|---|
| 5-star Motive base rate | (Same as character) |
| 5-star Motive overall rate (with pity) | (Same as character) |
| 5-star Motive guarantee | Within 80 Revelations |
| 4-star Motive overall rate | (Same as character) |
| 4-star or higher guarantee | Within 10 Revelations |
| Chance a 4-star Motive is featured | (Same as character) |
| Featured 4-star Motive guarantee | Within 20 Revelations |
Note: The raw base rates for 5-star and 4-star Motives are generally identical to those for characters, as indicated by the shared underlying Revelation counters.
Duplicate Rewards: Mind Shards and Grains
Obtaining duplicate characters or Motives is not a waste. Instead, they convert into valuable resources, improving your existing units:
Character Duplicate Rewards
| Obtained | Reward |
|---|---|
| 5-star, first copy | Unlocks character Trait, 20 Mind Shards |
| 5-star, copies 2 to 7 | Trait + 20 Mind Shards each |
| 5-star, 8th copy onward | 50 Mind Shards each |
| 4-star, first copy | Unlocks character Trait, 4 Mind Shards |
| 4-star, copies 2 to 7 | Trait + 4 Mind Shards each |
| 4-star, 8th copy onward | 10 Mind Shards each |
Motive Duplicate Rewards
| Obtained | Reward |
|---|---|
| 3-star Motive, every copy | 8 Mind Grains each |
Mind Shards are typically used for character progression, while Mind Grains are for Motive enhancements.
Strategic Revelation Planning
Understanding the pity system allows for more effective resource management:
- For a Featured 5-Star Character: It's highly recommended to save at least 100 Judgement Shots if you are set on acquiring a specific featured 5-star. Since the 100-Revelation guarantee resets once you obtain the featured unit, starting with the full amount ensures you won't miss out.
- For a Featured 5-Star Motive: The equivalent saving target for a featured 5-star Motive is 80 Judgement Shots.
- For a Featured 4-Star: These are the most accessible targeted pulls. With a guarantee within 20 Revelations, you only need to save 20 Judgement Shots to ensure you get a featured 4-star character or Motive.
Quick Tips
- Always check the current banner's featured units before pulling.
- Prioritize saving for the 100-pull 5-star character guarantee if a specific character is a must-have.
- Be aware that the 5-star pity counter resets as soon as you get a featured 5-star.
- Don't underestimate the value of duplicate rewards for strengthening your roster.
