  "markdown": "For six and a half years Fate/Grand Order had no pity of any kind, the most famous holdout in the genre. The Guaranteed Summon changed that: announced in late December 2021 and live in Japan with the New Year 2022 campaign, it guarantees the featured SSR servant on the 330th roll of a banner if it has not already appeared. [[1]](#ref-1) The English server received it in November 2022 with the Heian-kyo banner, years ahead of its usual content delay. [[2]](#ref-2)\n\n## The rules\n\n- Applies to limited banners with an end date; the permanent Story Summon is excluded. [[3]](#ref-3)\n- Free Saint Quartz, paid Saint Quartz, and Summon Tickets all count toward the 330. [[3]](#ref-3)\n- The counter is per banner and does not carry over when the banner ends. On rotating banners, the counter tracks the featured SSR of the day. [[3]](#ref-3)\n- Off-banner SSR \"spooks\" do not reset the counter; only obtaining the featured SSR does. [[3]](#ref-3)\n\nAt 3 Saint Quartz per roll, reaching the guarantee costs 990 Saint Quartz, several hundred US dollars at typical bundle pricing, which is why the system is best understood as a disaster ceiling rather than a discount. Mechanically it behaves like an automatic [spark](/wiki/spark) set at 330 rather than a pull-count [pity](/wiki/pity-system).\n\n## Repeatability changes\n\nAs introduced, the guarantee was once per banner. Japan removed that limit at the game's ninth anniversary in August 2024: the counter now re-arms every 330 rolls, resetting each time the featured SSR is obtained, with a visible counter added to the summon screen. The English server matched this at its own ninth anniversary in June 2026, making a five-copy grail of a single servant a bounded (if enormous) 1,650-roll worst case. [[3]](#ref-3)\n\nThe per-banner reset remains the sharpest edge: unlike HoYoverse pity, nothing you rolled last banner helps you next banner.",
