If you want to learn how the Illusion Connect Banners work, then you’re in the right place! Unlike many other gacha games, the summoning rates in IC are not dictated universally by the server. Instead, they are account-related and you can summon (more or less) at your own rate.
Once you start playing, you will gain access to a few banners which will reset for the first time after 7 days, then another 7 days, and so on. In short, everybody will be able to summon the same characters at one point in the game.
If you are looking for a specific banner, use the quick links below to quickly access it:
- Current Rate Up Banners (Summon Tickets)
- Current Selected Banners (Selected Tickets)
- Active Other Banners (Gnosis, Contribution, Honor)
Before you get started, make sure you claim the free Illusion Connect codes to get free Summon Tickets, Diamonds, and more!
UPCOMING BANNERS:

Illusion Connect Rate Up Banners
The Rate Up banner is the banner that increases the chance for specific units. It usually resets every 7 days since day 1 you start playing, so you have about a week to try and get 2 specific units with an increased chance.
Chances/Rates:
– SSR Card 1% (all SSR Cards)*
– SSR Card 1% (the two Rate Up SSR Cards)*
– SR Card 15% (all SR Cards)
– R Card 83% (all R Cards)
– You get 1 SSR Card guaranteed in 100 summons.
*Out of the 2% Chance for SSR Cards overall, the chance for the two cards which have Rate Up (i.e. Miyuki & Kiraya, Fenebeth & Ashwaya) take up 50% of that 2%, which means 1%. So, the chance for one of the specific cards is 0.50% out of all the pulls.

I’ve noticed that the banners seem to follow the pattern they do on the Korean server, so I am going to post them as they will appear on there. I’ll update them as soon as I’ve reached that banner in game, and as soon as I learn if it’s accurate or not. For now, I’m assuming that the banners below will be up next, if the game will follow the same timetable as on the Korean server.
Illusion Connect Selected Banners
The Select Banners are quite different from the Rate Up Banners, and they have a much higher chance to give you SSR Cards. This Banner is not available straight-up from day 1, but rather from day 4*. The Select Banners have a much higher chance to give you SSR Cards and focus solely on specific SSR cards.
So, they are a much better option than the Rate Up Banner, but also more expensive (if you want to buy 1 Selected Ticket, you need to pay 400 Diamonds – double the price for Summon Ticket). But that’s not the only way – there are a few other ways to get Selected Tickets.
Chances/Rates:
– SSR Card 3% (only 4 selected SSR Cards)**
– SR Card 25% (all SR Cards)
– R Card 72% (all R Cards)
– You get 1 SSR Card guaranteed in the first 20 summons (if you summon twice 10x, not 1 by 1).
– You get 1 UP (featured) character in the first 70 summons (if you summon 7 times 10x)
* The count starts the day you start playing.
** The chance for the Selected SSR Card is 1.2%, and the other 3 SSR Cards make up 1.8% of the SSR gacha rates. For instance, the first is Selected Maki, with additional Barinas, Selena, and Gagaku – Maki has 1.2% chance (of 100%) to appear when you summon, and the others 1.8% chance (of 100%).
