My first alliance, the leader had a theory that if you open the portal window you want to summon from, allow it to cycle through all of the heroes. When it comes back to the original hero, count to 3, then hit the summon button.
Sounded like a bunch of superstitious nonsense to me, but he swore by it (and his roster was a lot better than mine, so what do I know?)
I just hit summon. No rhythm or reason. Sometimes I get 5*, often I get 3*. Thatās how RNG works 
If everyone in the game did a single 100 Valhalla coin summon there would be more than a few that got Gefjon + Glenda. Itās just whether itās your day to be lucky or not 
Thatās what I figure too. When I was new, I thought I was just really unlucky with my pulls.
It wasnāt until I found the forum (about 5 months later) when I found out about the actual summoning odds.
"1.2% chance??? Geez, all this time I just thought the game hated me. Apparently it hates everyone." 
Now I keep my expectations very low.
EDIT: and in my experience, my own summons basically mirror what the āposted oddsā state. I have no reason to think that theyāre lying. With odds that low, you donāt even have to lie, the reality is bad enough.
My mate complains profusely about how much the games hate him. Then when he gets something good he just goes āabout time I supposeā
He has like 40+ 5* and some very good ones like Black Knight, Freya, C.Dominta, Vela etc etc etc etcā¦
He got Heimdall from a single Coin pull the other dayā¦
So maybe thatās the answer āThe power of Complaints compels you!ā
LOLā¦ Iāve pulled less than 10 legendaries from summons, most of mine have come from TC20.
But when I compare it to the number of summons Iāve probably done, it seems to fall in line with what one can expect.
I complain, but mostly about the odds themselves. I find it amusing when people come here to complain that they werenāt able to magically defy the odds. ā10 pulls and not a single legendary???ā Ummm who told you that you were guaranteed to get a 5* hero from a 10 pull? Somebody lied to you, buddy.
He used to spend, not heavily mind but a 10 summon here and there.
Heās gone F2P the last few months and got some great heroesā¦did a single event coin pull and got Guardian Falconā¦Zocc from an EHTā¦Heimdall from a single Coin pull, his Costume Dom came from keys.
His TC20 has been paying out too.
He mostly now complains the boards hate himā¦even whenās heās winning them.
Funny old game this at times.
He sounds pretty lucky to me. I probably average one 5* pull every 3 months or so (excluding TCs). Was C2P in the beginning, but I havenāt spent in over a year. Iāve probably been luckier overall as a F2P than I was as a C2P.
I find myself now reaching the dreaded ascension mat wall, so not sure I even need any more heroes right now anyway. I will of course gladly take any nice hero I can get, but it will be a long time before Iāll be able to finish them.
You want instructions on how to follow superstitions?
I mean if you consider the Censure method to be superstitious. Otherwise, itās just the fact that everyone talks about it, but no one ever states what it is. Anyway, it was posted, so that answers that question.
Iāve heard of the Censure method, I only vaguely understand how itās supposed to work (and not 100% convinced that it actually does work). Thatās the only reason I never explained it, for the same reason that I donāt try explaining quantum mechanics - because I honestly donāt know how it works myself.
I always found it odd that many people referenced the method without actually explaining itā¦ when asked, theyād say āsearch it on YouTube.ā
I assumed it was maybe something that was taboo to talk about here. LOL
Have you tried the method yourself? If so, whatās your conclusion? Yay or nay?
Not me, I have too many personal issues to deal with. 
EDIT: The method tells me to summon when experience tells me Iāll get Bane, Ulmer or Gunnarā¦
Fair enough. Iāve thought about testing it myself, but itās mostly based on doing a lot of pulls at once, and Iām more of a āsummon 'em when you got 'emā kind of player.
The censure method is inconsistent at best and non-existent at worst. Iāve tried it multiple times and although there have been a few successes there were many more fails which backs up @Sh3r1ff and their point of view regarding censure method. Superstition is right in this case and Iāve never encountered any actual long term substantiated evidence that points out that it has serious potential to be otherwise.
That is about what I figured.
While I do think that RNG is āstreakyā at times, I have made multiple attempts to nail it down, to find a pattern or rotation or whatever, certain time of day, etc.;
Itās called ārandomā for a reason. More effort than itās worth to try to āpredictā it, in my opinion.
I think even if someone set out with a million dollars worth of gems, doing 10 pulls here and 30 pulls there, using this method and that method, trying at different times of day each day, tracking every possible stat and whatnotā¦
At the end of the experiment, theyād probably end up with about 73% 3 star heroes, 24% 4 star heroes, and 3% 5 star heroes. About all theyād be able to conclude is, āwell, I seemed to get better pulls on Thursdays, but I had a couple of good Tuesdays too. Saturdays werenāt too bad. Oh, and one Friday, I pulled several legendaries in a row. Mondays were mostly terrible. Except for that one Monday. Wednesdays and Sundays are mostly a mixed bag. I got a lot of my best pulls at night, but I also got some good ones in the daytime. I thought maybe a full moon would help, it seemed to help in the first lunar cycle, but when I tried it again during the second lunar cycle, it didnāt pan out as expected.ā
This is true, or at the very least appears to be. As one example I ended up getting the majority of 5* Avalon heroes in two ten pulls (LotL and MLF on one and Guin on the other) back to back. Kind of crazy and canāt account for it.
Edit: did not try censure method for that one
I havenāt been so lucky in pulls, but I have pulled multiple Priscas and multiple Kailanis in a rowā¦
And my boards have a tendency to be really streaky on certain days. Some days, I canāt get a good board to save my life. Other days, I canāt lose! Sometimes I do my first 3 titan hits, excellent scores every time. Go in 12 hours later expecting the same scores, and the boards are total 
, canāt even get half the scores I got on the first 3. 
I canāt explain it, nor have I been able to identify any subtle indicators warning me ahead of time. Just have to roll the dice and see what happens.
EDIT: actually, have been lucky in pulls too, just not back to back. More likeā¦ Iāll go 3 months in a dry spell, no legendariesā¦ then in one week, Iāll pull a legendary in a summon and 2 more from my training camps. 3 months of nothing, to 3 5*s in one week.
