01 [Focused Selection] Mechanic Now Available in Limited-time [Standard Headhuntings]
The new [Focused Selection] Mechanic will be introduced in every Limted-time [Standard Headhunting] that features a single rate-up 6-star Operator after the October 24th update (excluding permanent [Standard Headhuntings], [Joint Operations] Targeted Operator Headhuntings and [The Front That Was] Limted-time Headhuntings).
Focused Selection: If you make 150 headhunting attempts without receiving the current rate-up 6-star Operator, the next 6-star operator received is guaranteed to be the current rate-up 6-star Operator. This mechanism will only take effect once during the current headhunting. The number of headhunting attempts for [Focused Selection] will be cleared at the end of the current headhunting, and will not carry over to subsequent [Standard Headhunting].

Details:
- In all [Kernel Headhunting] banners, if you have not obtained any 6-star Operator after 50 rolls, the odds of getting a 6-star Operator will be increased from 2% to 4% on the next roll. If you still have not gotten any 6-star Operators by the 51st roll, the odds will be further increased from 4% to 6% on the next roll. The odds of getting a 6-star Operator will continue to rise by 2% each roll until it reaches 100%, at which point you will be guaranteed a 6-star Operator.
- Rolls that count towards this protection mechanism WILL carry over between [Kernel Headhunting] banners, and all accumulated rolls will NOT be reset to 0 when a [Kernel Headhunting] banner ends. An increase in the odds of getting a 6-star Operator due to accumulated rolls WILL be applied to any subsequent [Kernel Headhunting] banner.
[Notice] If you get a 6-star Operator at any point from rolling a [Kernel Headhunting] banner, the odds of getting a 6-star Operator from any subsequent rolls on a [Kernel Headhunting] banner will return to 2%.
Note:
- Universal Certificates and Kernel Tokens (for when obtaining an Operator you already own) will be granted instead of Qualification Certificates and Advanced Certificates when obtaining an Operator through [Kernel Headhuntings] or [Universal Certificates Exchange Area]. Qualification Certificates, Advanced Certificates or Operator Tokens will still be granted when obtaining an Operator (those featured in Kernel Headhuntings included) through any other way than [Kernel Headhuntings] and [Universal Certificates Exchange Area], including but not limited to Recruit, Operator Vouchers and redeeming with Advanced Certificate from the Store.
- Universal Certificates can be used in the [Universal Certificates Exchange Area] to redeem Kernel Headhunting Permits, Contracts of a 6-star or 5-star Operator rated-up in the current [Kernel Headhunting] banner, etc.
- Kernel Tokens can be used to improve the Operators' Potential, or be exchanged for Universal Certificates when the Operators have already reached their Max Potential.

Correspondingly, the redeemable Operators in [Distinctions] and [Universal Certificates Exchange Area] will be shifted into: A 6-star and a 5-star Operator of your choice from the rated-up Operators for the current banner.
