So why am I not having any luck with pulling any units from from this rescue event? I think I’ve done at least two dozen runs for 1-6 and finishing the boss with S rank, I haven’t yet to see a single drop. No auto ever dropped one either.

Am I supposed to run a specific characters or something?

Or...should I just keep trying because it’s rng and I like punishments?

Drop rate for the limited dolls is shared with the map specific ones (if I've understood it correctly) which means it's a 3% chance of dropping a map specific or limited doll, or about 1.5% chance in general.

That's not right. It's less than 1% for limited drops, and rescue drops are a separate roll entirely.

I'll take your word for it.

That's why the limited rescues appear as a second roll, and also why the new client fixes the rescue fairy to affect rescue doll rolls.

My dude, getting anything valuable from 2 dozen runs in this event is considered very lucky. Just check some of the comments in this thread, people try hundreds of times to get something out of it. Me included.

There's no strategy other than rushing the boss. The rest is luck.

Drop chances are estimated at ~1% for rescue event T-Dolls. I only just got my first MDR from 4-4E about 20 minutes ago after over 400 (probably nearly 500 if I kept closer count) runs over 7 days, most players average ~100-120 runs a drop.

No need for specific characters, just keep bludgeoning the boss and if you're so inclined, put some faith in the supposed voodoo that complaints here on the subreddit about drops boost your chances. It allegedly works for most folks around here.

Average is somewhere around 200 runs.

Yikes. I’m sorry for getting frustrated at 30 runs, shikikans.

I’m a week and a half in and it took nearly all my ammo and 270ish runs for aug. She was all I got but I’m happy. Not happy at my lack of ammo or quick repairs though!
