The Blood Strike x BLEACH collaboration runs February 1-28, 2026, offering operators like ZERO-Ichigo Kurosaki and RAN-Rukia Kuchiki through gacha requiring 9,000-15,000 Gold for guaranteed unlocks. F2P players earn 970-1,800 Gold monthly—enough for the 520 Gold BLEACH PASS—while complete collections need strategic spending across two Featured Sets.

Reality Check: Featured Set operators need 9,000-15,000 Gold. F2P event earnings (480-960) cover only 4-10 pulls—nowhere near the 100-pull pity. You'll need 8,000+ banked Gold from prior months.
Optimal F2P Path:
Daily logins (Ethan-Byakuya)
Token grinding (Parachute-Kon, Playpal)
Weekend logins (Lucky Chests)
BLEACH PASS if 520 Gold available
Bank remaining Gold for future events

Spending Priority Matrix
F2P Priority:
Daily logins (free Ethan-Byakuya)
Event tokens (free cosmetics)
Weekend logins (free chests)
BLEACH PASS (if 520 Gold available)
Bank Gold for future events
Low-Spender ($10-20):
BLEACH PASS (guaranteed value)
All remaining Gold into ONE Featured Set
Use 10-pull bundles only (better rates)
Don't split between both sets
Whale Fast-Track:
Purchase 18,000-30,000 Gold immediately
Complete both Featured Sets week 1
Buy BLEACH PASS
Compete for Tensa Zangetsu airdrop
Time vs Money: F2P requires 14-28 hours across 28 days. $50 reduces this to casual play while guaranteeing an operator. Each grinding hour = $1.75-3.50 in Gold value.
Gacha Mechanics
Pity System:
100-pull guarantee per Featured Set
Progress accumulates across sessions
Resets after obtaining featured items
Gold Costs for 100 Pulls:
Minimum: 8,000 Gold (10-pull bundles at 80/pull)
Average: 12,000 Gold (typical 120/pull rate)
Maximum: 15,000 Gold (single pulls at 150/pull)
Budget 12,000 Gold per Featured Set for realistic planning.
Value Comparison:
BLEACH PASS: 173 Gold/item (520 ÷ 3 items)
Featured Sets: 2,250-3,750 Gold/item (9,000-15,000 ÷ 4 items)
BLEACH PASS wins on quantity, but Featured Set operators offer higher exclusivity and unique abilities.
Probability: Assume 1-3% featured rate per pull. With 2% rate, you have ~86% chance within 100 pulls. Pity guarantees acquisition regardless.
Early Luck Impact: Getting Ichigo in 20 pulls costs 1,600-2,400 Gold vs 9,000-15,000 at pity. Variance is massive, but pity prevents infinite spending.
Operator Analysis
ZERO-Ichigo Kurosaki & RAN-Rukia Kuchiki:
Power Slash: Burst damage ability
Dash: Enhanced mobility for repositioning
Exclusive to BLEACH operators
Permanent unlock, usable across all future seasons
Meta Relevance: Strike Pass seasons last 42 days. BLEACH collaboration occupies 28 days of current season. Operators remain viable long-term, but abilities' competitive value depends on balance patches.
Weapon Skin Longevity: MCX and M82 currently meta-strong, making Tensa Zangetsu variants safe investments. QBZ95/MP5 value depends on your loadout preferences.
Cosmetic-Only Justification: Zanpakuto melee skins shine in kill cams and close-quarters. Parachute-Kon/Playpal suit completionists at zero Gold cost.
Long-Term Value: Limited collaboration items become prestige symbols as acquisition becomes impossible for new players. Prioritize exclusive operators over general cosmetics.
Common Mistakes
FOMO Traps:
Don't rush purchases week 1
Research operator viability and skin quality first
Lucky Chests and logins continue all 28 days
Bundle Pitfalls:
10-pull bundles (800-1,200 Gold) require large single transactions
Partial spending toward 100-pull pity provides minimal value
Timed Gold return from BLEACH PASS expires—treat full 520 as spent
Duplicate Risks:
Stop pulling after getting your target operator
Continuing risks duplicate weapon skins with poor compensation
Weapon skins don't justify 9,000-15,000 Gold if operator acquired early
Opportunity Cost: Spending 30,000 Gold on complete BLEACH collection depletes reserves for future collaborations. Gold is permanent—conservation is viable.

FAQ
How much Gold for both operators? 18,000-30,000 Gold total. Budget 12,000 per Featured Set (24,000 total) using 10-pull bundles. Single pulls push this to 30,000.
Can F2P get any operators? Yes. Ethan-Byakuya via 28 logins (free). SPIKE-Toshiro via BLEACH PASS (520 Gold—achievable if you saved from prior months). Ichigo/Rukia need 9,000-15,000 each—impossible without banked Gold.
BLEACH PASS or Featured Sets? BLEACH PASS: Better Gold/item value (173 vs 2,250-3,750), guaranteed operator. Featured Sets: Higher exclusivity, unique abilities. Limited budget = BLEACH PASS. Targeting premium = save for Featured Sets.
How does pity work across sessions? Progress accumulates within each Featured Set regardless of timing. 40 pulls Feb 5 + 60 pulls Feb 20 = 100-pull pity. Resets only after obtaining featured items or event end.
Pull after getting my operator? No. Stop immediately. Continuing risks duplicates with poor compensation. Save Gold for future events.
When to purchase? Week 3 (Feb 15-21) balances community feedback with enjoyment time. Week 1 if prioritizing extended usage. Avoid week 4 unless necessary—minimal time to enjoy items.
