How long does each reroll take in Kaiju No. 8 The Game?

Each reroll cycle takes approximately 10-15 minutes depending on your device speed. You need to play through the tutorial (about 5-7 minutes of cutscenes and basic combat), claim all beginner rewards, then do your multi-pulls on the gacha banner. Skipping cutscenes speeds this up significantly, but the first playthrough of the tutorial is unskippable on most devices.

Can I skip the tutorial when rerolling?

Some early cutscenes are skippable by tapping the screen, but the first combat tutorial must be completed before you gain access to the summon menu. On subsequent rerolls after clearing data or reinstalling, you will have to replay the tutorial again. There is no account-based skip for the tutorial sequence.

Do I need to link my account before rerolling?

No. In fact, you should avoid linking your account until you have obtained the characters you want. Play as a guest account during the reroll process. Once you land your desired combination, link the account to your preferred platform (Google, Apple, or email). If you link too early, you will be stuck with that account.

Will I lose my progress if I clear data?

Yes, clearing the app data on Android or reinstalling on iOS will delete all local progress including any pulls you made. That is the entire point of rerolling. Make sure you have linked your account if you obtained a roll you want to keep before clearing data. There is no way to recover cleared guest accounts.

Is it possible to get two 5-star characters from the initial summons?

Yes, but it is very rare. The starting multi-pull gives you roughly an 8-10% chance of pulling at least one 5-star character. Pulling two 5-stars in the same multi is approximately a 0.5-1% chance. If you are willing to reroll many times, starting with two S-tier units gives you a massive head start. Most players settle for one top-tier character and save their remaining currency for future banners.

Kaiju No. 8 The Game Reroll Guide

Starting a new gacha game can be overwhelming, and Kaiju No. 8 The Game is no exception. Rerolling — restarting the game repeatedly to get the best possible starting characters — is one of the most important early decisions you can make. A strong start saves you weeks of grinding and gives you a roster capable of handling endgame content from day one.

This guide covers everything you need to know about rerolling in Kaiju No. 8 The Game, including step-by-step instructions, the full tier list of 5-star characters, an explanation of the pity system, and exactly when to stop rerolling and start playing the game.

What Is Rerolling and Why Should You Do It?

Rerolling means creating a new account, playing through the tutorial, using all the free summon currency you earn, and checking what characters you pulled. If you are not happy with the results, you delete that account and start over. You repeat this cycle until you get a strong starting roster.

Why reroll? Kaiju No. 8 The Game’s gacha rates are typical for the genre — around 1-2% for a 5-star character. The free currency you earn at the start is enough for 2-3 multipulls, which is your best chance to walk away with an account-defining character without spending money. A single S+ tier unit like Kaiju No. 8 (Fortitude 9.8) or Akari Minase (Festive Christmas) can carry you through the entire story and into endgame raids.

How to Reroll Step by Step

The reroll process is slightly different depending on your platform, but the general steps are the same.

On Android

Launch the game as a guest. Do not link any accounts yet.
Play through the tutorial until you reach the main menu. This takes roughly 5-7 minutes depending on how fast you tap through dialogue.
Open your mailbox and claim all pre-registration and launch bonuses. These usually include premium summon currency and tickets.
Complete the Beginner’s Guide missions to earn additional currency. You do not need to finish all of them — just enough to earn your first multipull.
Go to the Summon menu and pull on the standard banner or the current rate-up banner. You should have enough for at least 2 multipulls (20 pulls) and some single tickets.
Check your results. If you are satisfied, link your account. If not:
- Open your device Settings > Apps > Kaiju No. 8 The Game > Storage > Clear Data.
- Relaunch the game and start over as a guest.
Repeat until you get your target.

On iOS

Launch the game as a guest.
Complete the tutorial and claim all rewards.
Do your summons.
If you are not happy, delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store.
Launch again as a guest and repeat.

On PC (Emulator)

Install the game on your emulator of choice (LDPlayer, BlueStacks, etc.).
Launch as guest and complete the tutorial.
Do your summons.
Use the emulator’s multi-instance manager to clone the instance before your first pull. This way you can pull on multiple instances in parallel and only keep the best one.
Rinse and repeat. Emulator rerolling is significantly faster because you can run 4-6 instances at once.

How Many Rolls Do You Get at the Start?

When you first start the game, you will earn enough currency for approximately 30-40 pulls (3-4 multipulls) after completing the tutorial and claiming all launch bonuses:

Pre-registration rewards: 10 premium tickets ~ 1 multipull
Launch celebration mail: 1200 currency ~ 8 pulls
Beginner’s Guide milestones: 1800 currency ~ 12 pulls
Tutorial completion reward: 300 currency ~ 2 pulls
First 3 story stages: 300 currency ~ 2 pulls

This brings you to roughly 35-40 pulls total. You also get a free Kafka Hibino from the Beginner’s Guide, so even on a bad roll, you will not start completely empty-handed.

Important: Spend your currency wisely. The beginner banner often has discounted pulls, so check whether the first multipull costs less before tapping the standard banner.

Target Characters: Full Tier List

Akari Minase

Below is the complete 5-star character tier list. Aim for at least one S+ or S tier character before settling on an account.

S+ Tier — The Best of the Best

These characters define the meta. Pulling any one of them is a green light to stop rerolling.

Kaiju No. 8

Character	Type	Role	Why They Are S+
Akari Minase (Festive Christmas)	ShotFire	Attacker	Best Fire DoT attacker in the game. Applies Burn and Flare-Up, dealing percentage-based HP damage that shreds bosses. Essential for the Fire DoT team.
Aoi Kaguragi (Fruits of Diligence)	Blunt	Defender	Best defender with taunt, damage reduction, and self-sustain. Makes difficult content drastically easier by protecting your squishy damage dealers.
Chester Lochburn	Shot	Supporter	Top-tier support with Field Ops follow-up attacks and team-wide buffs. Fits into almost any team composition and dramatically boosts overall damage output.
Gen Narumi (Japan’s Strongest Combatant)	SlashShot	Attacker	The king of AoE wave clear. His Ultimate covers the entire field and hits like a truck. Your go-to farmer for story stages and material dungeons.
Kaiju No. 8 (Fortitude 9.8)	Blunt	Attacker	Best single-target DPS in the game. His Ultimate deals massive damage to a single enemy, and his passive ramps up ATK the longer the fight goes. Top choice for boss raids.
Suited	Blunt	Attacker	S+ tier Blunt attacker with consistent damage output and great synergy with plate-breaking supports. Reliable in all content.

S Tier — Excellent and Worth Keeping

These characters are slightly below the top tier but still fantastic. If you pull one of these plus a decent 4-star support, you can absolutely clear all content.

Character	Type	Role	Why They Are S
Hikari Shinomiya	SlashWind	Attacker	Wind-element Slash attacker with excellent single-target damage and a fast-charging Ultimate. Great for enemies weak to Wind.
Reno Ichikawa (5-Star)	ShotIce	Attacker	Core of the Freeze Control team. Applies Freeze and Ice Additional DMG, locking down enemies while dealing sustained damage. Invaluable for crowd control.

A / A+ Tier — Solid but Not Game-Breaking

These characters are usable and can clear content, but they do not define the meta. If you pull one, consider rerolling unless you also got good 4-star units.

Character	Type	Role
Kikoru Shinomiya (Guiding Light of the Future)	Slash	Attacker
Mina Ashiro (Off the Scale)	Shot	Attacker
Rin Shinonome (5-Star)	Shot	Attacker
Soshiro Hoshina (Hoshina-Style Sword-Slay Technique)	Slash	Attacker
Haruichi Izumo (Calculated Choice)	Shot	Supporter
Isao Shinomiya (The Unbreakable Iron Wall)	Blunt	Defender
Jura Igarashi (5-Star)	BluntFire	Supporter
Sagan Shinomiya (Dimensionally Distorted Destiny)	BluntFire	Defender
Soichiro Hoshina (5-Star)	SlashShot	Supporter
Wang Meixing (Negotiator of Wit and Charm)	ShotLightning	Supporter
Zoee Wanderfalke (5-Star)	SlashShot	Attacker

Pity System Explained

Understanding pity is crucial for deciding when to stop rerolling.

How Pity Works

10-pull guarantee: Every multipull guarantees at least one SR (4-star) or higher character. You are not guaranteed a 5-star in any single multipull.
Soft pity: The 5-star rate starts increasing after 65 pulls without a 5-star. Each subsequent pull has a slightly higher rate.
Hard pity: At 90 pulls, you are guaranteed a 5-star character. This pity carries over between banners of the same type (standard to standard, limited to limited).

What This Means for Rerolling

On your initial 35-40 pulls, you cannot reach hard pity. Your odds of pulling a specific 5-star are roughly:

At least one random 5-star: ~40-50% across 40 pulls
A specific rate-up 5-star (if pulling on their banner): ~20-25%
Two or more 5-stars: ~5-8%

If you do not get anything good, do not waste your currency trying to reach pity. Just reset and try again.

When to Stop Rerolling

Here is a simple decision tree:

You pulled an S+ tier character. Stop immediately and link your account. You are set for the entire early and mid game.
You pulled an S tier character. Also a keep. The difference between S+ and S is not large enough to justify hours of extra rerolling.
You pulled two A tier 5-star characters. Consider keeping if you are tired of rerolling. Two A tiers can cover more situations than one S tier.
You pulled one A tier character. This is borderline. If you have been rerolling for less than 30 minutes, keep going. If you have been at it for hours, take the account and save your currency for the next rate-up banner.
You only got 4-star characters. Reroll.

My recommendation: Aim for one S+ tier unit, then stop. The difference between a great start and a perfect start is not worth 4 extra hours of rerolling when you can just save your pity for the next banner.

Tips for Efficient Rerolling

Skip everything. Mash the skip button through every dialogue and cutscene you can. Cutscene skip settings are usually in the options menu.
Use an emulator for speed. LDPlayer or BlueStacks with multi-instance sync lets you roll 4-6 accounts at once. This cuts your effective time per roll from 10 minutes to 2-3 minutes.
Keep a checklist. Write down which characters you are looking for so you do not have to check the tier list every time you pull.
Do not spend real money. Seriously. If a banner tempts you to spend, remind yourself that the character will probably rerun in 3-6 months.
Save the beginner discount banner. If the first multipull costs half currency, use it. If not, consider whether the standard or rate-up banner is better value.

Final Verdict

Rerolling in Kaiju No. 8 The Game is absolutely worth the effort. A single S+ tier character like Akari Minase (Festive Christmas) or Kaiju No. 8 (Fortitude 9.8) can carry you through the entire story and into boss raids. The initial 35-40 free pulls give you a realistic shot at walking away with a top-tier account.

Set a goal — one S+ or S tier character — and do not stop until you get it. Rerolling takes patience, but you will thank yourself 50 hours into the game when your starting carry is still crushing content.
