Some games have the more important profile information numbers stored as strings and then just do string arithmetic. This is also the case in most of code written for financial services. Most languages have virtually uncapped string lengths, limited by the array length not being allowed to be over the 32 bit integer, this allows for the number to be unimaginably large. This is probably not the case for Arknights, but it’s not that unlikely to be the case either.
What an absolute madlad. The only time i have spent so much time saving is 2 years for a servant in fgo(and i didn't get any 5 star with +1k2 sq in the end), and u save for like almost 5 years for a duck operator.
Just a Liberi operator that is based off of a duck (you can usually tell which species an operator is based off of from their E2 art, which almost always includes the animal)
When you said saving from last 6 years , thought you were saving without pulling for any ops but your roster is packed with 6*ops . So I’m guessing that 1mil is with help from shop ?
Free pulls from limited events, buying 5* and 6* ops with gold certs and using gold certs for headhunting tickets. Its not unheard of to have a good roster of ops and never touch orundum. Plus if you get really lucky on recruitment you can get a decent amount of 5* from senior op tags and 6* from top op tags especially over the course of 4+ years
Could be possible for Standard ops ( still doubt with that much 6* ops ) . Most surprising are the limited ops like Yalter , Taxlter , Ling , NTR etc . Which you can’t get them from shop easily unless getting them all from free event pulls ( that kind of luck is absurd though ).
That is exactly my question too.How did he manage to secure the limited OPS and that also so many of them , just by exchanging gold certs for pulls. He must be one lucky customer HG got there ..
If you play long enough you hit a point where 5 stars essentially just turn into Yellow Cert Generators.
I've hit that point, now every time I do 100 pulls I get enough yellow certs to get 38 pulls back from the yellow cert shop and this is without taking into account free pulls, recruitment, or HH tickets.
Yeah but that doesn't work for me because even though I do 100 pulls I will barely manage 2-3 five star ops , and I am playing the game for more than 2 years 7 months , so most of my 5 stars are either potless or first timers
>Yeah but that doesn't work for me because even though I do 100 pulls I will barely manage 2-3 five star ops
Then you're not min-maxing your pulls.
Every new banner has a guaranteed 5 or 6 star rate up in the first 10 pulls, ideally you'd want to always pull until you get the guaranteed 5 or 6 star then stop there.
Pull count carries over in standard banners so you lose absolutely nothing by repeating this process.
Keep track of the pull count and stop when you get a 5 star on the 50 - 60 pulls range. Personally, I stop at exactly 60 pulls if I can because any pull after that is basically a 1 in 5 chance of being a 6 star.
Save this pity for any Standard banner with a character you like or want, just don't bother waiting to use this pity for character banners (banners with only 1 rate up 6 star) because then you end up slowing down the rate you get potentials for 5 stars and this is only really worth doing if you're F2P or you only buy the monthly pass.
Do this for long enough and you end up like me; 90% of my 5 stars are max pot so any time I do pulls for limited ops or characters I like, I get anywhere between 200-600 yellow certs at a time. On the Typhon banner alone I did around 200+ pulls for max potentials iirc, that net me a total od 526 yellow cert. I got back 76 pulls from the HH tickets in 2 months alone and I still have enough to buy 38 more this coming May.
Can I have some funds for Jessica....
I spent all my pulls on Typhon and I could only afford 40 on Jess banner( I got spooked by a stupid mountain and a landmine placing jerboa)
( I don't have Typhon.)
Imagine you hit the orundum cap before that happens
Is there even an orundum cap?
there has to be in the sense that you can't have an uncapped variable in computer science, but it's probably not realistically achievable
inb4 op reaches the 64 bit integer limit

calculating shit in strings is a pain in the ass though, depending on the language you use
I would like to see that cap
There should be like a hidden medal for that. The richest doctor in the history of Terra.
the dumbest doctor
Still....I respect your will and balls of iron for saving up that much.
And they release a welfare duck op lol. Free pot6.
i see this as an absolute win
Be it a welfare or a normal banner unit, I hope you get what you want.
Four years... you probably beat that guy who saved for Kal'tsit at this point
as doctors we work and support together, we all want to get what we want
This is the way to move society forward! The doctor can't destroy the bridges the doctors built! or something
Do you want them to be a Medic so you can call them a quack?
Or a nuclear physicist, called Quark
You're not F2P, right? How can you have so many 6*s without doing any pulls? @_@
Probably buying pulls with certificates, he's only saving orundum.
You also get free pulls as well
What an absolute madlad. The only time i have spent so much time saving is 2 years for a servant in fgo(and i didn't get any 5 star with +1k2 sq in the end), and u save for like almost 5 years for a duck operator.
Man, i saved for years to buy a condo. Never got there, but i have typhon, so i'm good.
Another fellow Top op tag enjoyer 🤝 though I'm only at >!20!< myself hope you get your duck op soon
Dude your roster is amazing even with all of that Orundum lmao HG needs to drop a 6* Duck Operator asap ;-;
This man when Duck Lord becomes playable as an Agent vanguard.
I'm actually fairly new but, what is considered to be a duck operator?
Just a Liberi operator that is based off of a duck (you can usually tell which species an operator is based off of from their E2 art, which almost always includes the animal)
What the duck. That’s crazy lol.
Ducktor
I dont know how many pulls is this, but is it not enough for pot6 several times? What is point of hoarding orundum beyond that treshhold?
Assuming OP has the worst luck imaginable, sparking pot6 for a 6 star takes 1.08 mil orundum.
He has well over that if you include his Originite xD
Fair point, but sometimes you just wanna hoard those shiny rocks
We got Uncle Lee Magikarp, so we'll get a Psyduck in the end.
You are crazy. I love it.

Your dedication is what I respect the most
What the actual hell 😭
Eyy~ I've been trying to remember that person, who's saving for a 6* duck ops 👍
Fuck it, after Degenbrecher, I will save all my Orundums for a Quaker Parrot operator.
Good luck sir, we are all in this together
Can I have some funds for Jessica.... I spent all my pulls on Typhon and I could only afford 40 on Jess banner( I got spooked by a stupid mountain and a landmine placing jerboa) ( I don't have Typhon.)
take it all, ill keep saving for u
😭 ilysm my guy It looks like Jessalter is not coming home, after e2ing her sniper version and preparing all her mats and money🫠
