Re-rolling Accounts

Re-rolling is a common practice in mobile games. Due to the random nature of Gacha's, some players will constantly start new games until they achieve the best possible outcome on their first free roll that usually occurs during or after a tutorial. This way re-rollers technically have control over their outcomes at the start of the game by ensuring that their first roll will eventually be a unit of high quality or simply their favorite unit. Game developers try and prevent this from occurring or mitigate its impact since re-rolling tends to add to server loads and can provide them with improper metrics of the actual amount of players playing the game. However, there are still ways to re-roll accounts, although they might not be practical in terms of time spent re-rolling.

As of 11/13/2015, Rare units can no longer be drawn from the first Gacha roll, making re-rolling a much less painful and enjoyable process for those who are attempting to draw a specific unit.
