MONGIL: STAR DIVE Reroll Guide: Best Characters, Fastest Route, and Gacha System

If you want the strongest possible start in MONGIL: STAR DIVE, rerolling is still one of the best things you can do at launch. The process is fairly quick, the starter banner gives you a guaranteed 5-star early on, and knowing which character to keep can save you a lot of resources later.

In this guide, LDShop will cover the fastest reroll route, the best characters to target, and how the current gacha system works.

Is Rerolling Worth It in MONGIL: STAR DIVE?

Yes, rerolling in MONGIL: STAR DIVE is worth doing if you want a cleaner start, because the early reroll route is short and the standard starter banner gives you a guaranteed permanent 5-star within 20 pulls.

The full reroll costs roughly 8 to 15 minutes, depending on how aggressively you skip.

Note: Deleting an account is not the correct reset method. Instead, you should reroll with a new account, because account deletion takes 30 days to process.

 

How to Reroll in MONGIL: STAR DIVE

The reroll route begins by pushing through the tutorial until the Recruit menu opens. On the way there, you will be forced to pull on A New Friend for a New Journey, which is the tutorial banner that grants one random 4-star character. After that, the real reroll phase begins: claim your rewards from Mail, use any launch or redeem-code rewards you have access to, then start pulling on New Expedition.

If you want to squeeze a little more value out of each reset, current reroll routes also suggest opening the shop and exchanging enough currency for 2 Compass of Destiny before taking a couple of shots on the limited banner.

The important part is that New Expedition is the core of the reroll, not the limited banner. This banner is the best use of your reset attempts because it guarantees one of the six permanent 5-stars within 20 pulls at a discounted starter rate. After those 20 pulls, the banner is replaced by New Friends, which becomes your follow-up banner rather than your reroll anchor.

 

Best Characters to Reroll For

Esther is the premium high-roll target, Jiwon is the best long-term standard reroll, and Gabi is the strongest permanent-banner DPS option for players who want a more aggressive start.

Esther

If your only goal is raw launch value, Esther is the best reroll target right now. She is a 5-star Wind Assassin, and current tier lists place her at or near the top thanks to her strength in both boss fights and broader combat situations. She is also a limited character, which gives her extra long-term appeal compared with a standard-banner unit.

 

Jiwon

For a practical standard-banner reroll, the safest answer is Jiwon. She is a 5-star Wind Support, Game8 places her in the top reroll tier alongside Esther, and current team recommendations already show her paired with Esther in strong Wind-focused setups. If you want a reroll target with lasting utility rather than pure launch burst, Jiwon is the most future-proof pick.

 

Gabi

If you prefer a more direct DPS opener from the permanent pool, Gabi is also a strong answer. GameWith treats Esther as the best overall reroll but points to Gabi as one of the standout practical permanent-banner targets, which makes her a good pick for players who want immediate carry value from a standard 5-star rather than a support-first account.

 

Flare

Flare remains a reasonable alternative, but she no longer feels like the cleanest “default” recommendation once you compare current launch guides side by side.

 

When to Stop Rerolling

The ideal stop is simple. If you hit Esther, you can stop immediately. If you are rerolling through New Expedition, stopping on Jiwon or Gabi is already a strong result.

Getting one top reroll target plus another 5-star from the guaranteed starter pulls is an excellent opener, but spending too long rerolling can slow your real account progression more than it helps. So make sure you stop at the right point.

 

MONGIL: STAR DIVE Gacha System

The current launch banners are Maid & Clover Mascot for Esther and Wind-Harboring Broom for her featured artifact, while the permanent banner lineup includes Eternal Promise, Promised Crest, New Expedition, and New Friends.

Standard pulls use Compass of Promise, while limited pulls use Compass of Destiny. During rerolling, you may also interact with Threads of Promise, Starlight Crystals, and Primordial Stars depending on which rewards you claim and convert.

For current rates, both Event Recruit and Event Artifact banners list a 1% 5-star rate and a 6% 4-star rate. Event Recruit pity is 90 pulls, Event Artifact pity is 80 pulls, and both banner types guarantee a 4-star at 10 pulls. Current guide data also says that event pity carries over between banners of the same type, and that an additional rate-up bonus begins at 75 pulls on Recruit banners and 65 pulls on Artifact banners.

For beginners, the key system is the two-step starter gacha. New Expedition guarantees one of the six permanent 5-star characters within 20 pulls, and then New Friends takes over and lets you choose which starter 5-star you want to guarantee after 50 pulls. That structure is exactly why standard-banner rerolling is so efficient in MONGIL: STAR DIVE compared with chasing the limited banner from a fresh account.

 

Final Thoughts

If you are still deciding whether to reroll hard for Esther or settle for a strong New Expedition start, the good news is that MONGIL: STAR DIVE gives you enough structure to make either path work. And if you plan to stick with the game long-term, it is also worth keeping an eye on more MONGIL: STAR DIVE guides, banner updates, and Mongil Star Dive top-up help through LDShop as the launch meta continues to develop.
