Critical Rule: NEVER pull on Standard banners if you're F2P. Always save for Featured banners where your pity guarantees the featured Biosuit. Standard banner pity doesn't carry over.

FAQ
Q: Should I pull on Standard banners?
A: No — as an F2P player, always save for Featured banners. The pity guarantee on Featured banners is far more valuable.
Q: What's the pity system?
A: Every 90 pulls on a banner guarantees an SSR. If the SSR isn't the featured item, the next SSR within 180 pulls total will be the featured one.
Q: Which Biosuit should I pull for first?
A: Check our Biosuit Tier List for current rankings. Generally, Demolisher or Arbiter on rate-up banners are the best investments.
