*NOTE: Summon Results posted without any commentary/feedback at all should be flagged as Off Topic and removed, based on preferences expressed by the Forum community. Please include some comments about what you think of Almur when posting Summon Results. In addition to opinions about Almur, you are also encouraged to include how many Summons it took before receiving Almur (or how many Summons you’ve done without receiving Almur), so other players are presented with realistic experiences of the rarity of Season 3 Heroes.

Avoiding Overspending & Heartache
Or: How many summons are needed to get a Valhalla Rare Hero?

It’s important to remember that Season 3 Valhalla Heroes have EXTREMELY low summoning odds. No amount of summoning will guarantee a Season 3 Hero.

On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 13.7% chance of summoning Almur.

But that statistic can lead our minds astray in exactly how our odds play out as we continue summoning.

Some useful insights:

36 times out of 100, you’ll get Almur by pull 30
59 times out of 100, you’ll get Almur by pull 60
95 times out of 100, you’ll get Almur by pull 203
99 times out of 100, you’ll get Almur by pull 314

Putting that in Perspective

64 out of every 100 people won’t get Almur by the 30th pull
If 1 Million players each summoned 30 times, 640,000 of those players wouldn’t get Almur
5 out of every 100 people won’t get Almur by the 203rd pull
If 1 Million players each summoned 203 times, 50,000 of those players wouldn’t get Almur

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later.

Probably the best 4* out of the batch of new heroes they’re releasing this Valhalla event. If I can pull Almur with coins and finally get Clarissa, I’ll won’t bother to gem summon.

BubblesUK · May 28, 2020, 5:56am

This is the one I really want from this bunch of S3… Let’s see

staysmart · May 28, 2020, 6:45am

When did they make him slower? Why?

Alexsmoker09 · May 28, 2020, 7:06am

CaptainjaKCsparrow · May 28, 2020, 7:22am

I don’t remember the ‘when’.

But they made him slower, presumably, because A very fast Damage Dealer + Health Reduction + Elemental Debuff is overpowered.

Slobix · May 28, 2020, 7:45am

I got him, out of 13 coin-pulls, and is the only non-rare hero I grabbed. Atm, definitely see him in my team for blue titans. Let’s see what else.

CaptainjaKCsparrow · May 28, 2020, 7:49am

Congrats on the pull!!

rho · May 28, 2020, 8:13am

26 pulls and no Almur, but got 2 Gullinburstis (1 fed to Wu), 2 Jotts (1 fed to Lepus), 2 Mireweaves (both fed to Lepus, already working on 1 and don’t need more), 1 Mist, 1 Brynhild, 2 Sumles (sumrarile fed to Gravy) and an assortment of 3*. Well at least I got Agnes and Grevle, the only two of the new 3* I wanted and cared about.

sergechaly · May 28, 2020, 8:28am

Even after they slowed him?

CaptainjaKCsparrow · May 28, 2020, 8:29am

He is still Fast mana.

Lexxtarc · May 28, 2020, 8:35am

I pulled recently .
My green army is not precesily overpowered with no 5* avialable .
So i really welcome him

BigE1 · May 28, 2020, 8:49am

I did a 10 pull and got Jott, Sif, and Almur. I wanted Almur the most.

CaptainjaKCsparrow · May 28, 2020, 8:53am

Congrats!! Sif is an excellent hero too!!

Suicide_Bunny · May 28, 2020, 10:31am

Poor man’s Evelyn. As owner of 3 Evelyns, I wasn’t too excited to pull for Almur, but can definitely understand the hype. Very useful dude.

G.O.A.T · May 28, 2020, 12:35pm

You can’t use Eve in 4* tournamnets and monthly events lower tiers.

So he is must have hero

BubblesUK · May 28, 2020, 2:03pm

Got him! Very pleased.

Not quite sure what to do with these, though (tenpull, already had 2)

Ziel05 · May 28, 2020, 2:03pm

No almur neither with 25 pulls but Alfrike, Freya, Fenrir and 2 clarissa. Most luckiest tirage ever

amessofamind · May 28, 2020, 2:11pm

2 pulls and got Almur and Jott, very happy with that.

As for Almur, looks to be a very solid hero, will be using him in tournies for sure as well as events… he might even see war time vs blue tanks (hahahahah).
