Limited Operators
| Operator | Alternates | Welfares | Limited |
There are Operators which can only be obtained in specific headhunting banners, colloquially known as limited Operators; the Operator cannot be obtained in any other way.
Under this definition, crossover Operators can be considered as limited Operators, even though their banners are technically special headhunting banners albeit with a unique pity system to guarantee that players will receive them eventually. Unlike other limited Operators however, crossover Operators can only be obtained from the corresponding crossover banner and will never be available in any other way afterwards, likely due to licensing.
With the exception of Crossover ones, all limited Operators feature dynamic/Live2D Elite 2 artwork; see Outfit#Dynamic art for more information.
