My results:
Should I have done a 30 pull? Maybe, maybe not. Do I still have other 5 star heroes that I can be leveling up? Yes. Will this cost affect my personal situation IRL? No. Do I recognize that other players may not be in the same position I am? Yes.
Will I, as a veteran player and alliance leader, encourage folks to consider whether a purchase or summon is really worth it? Will I strive to avoid ever creating an environment in-game that makes others feel obligated to summon for the latest fancy hero? Absolutely
Piggybacking off this excellent post from @Gryphonknight , I’ll add a few others typically referenced when we discuss new heroes and whether one should “chase” a hero.
Or: How many summons are needed to get a HOTM?
_Special thanks to @Garanwyn & @zephyr1 for assistance on summoning odds and proofreading for this section.
It’s important to remember that HOTM have very low summoning odds. No amount of summoning will guarantee a HOTM.
On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 12.3% chance of summoning the HOTM.
But that statistic can lead our minds astray in exactly how our odds play out as we continue summoning.
Some useful insights:
- 73 times out of 100, you’ll get a HOTM by pull 100
- 95 times out of 100, you’ll get a HOTM by pull 229
- 99 times out of 100, you’ll get a HOTM by pull 352
Putting that in Perspective
- 27 out of every 100 people won’t get the HOTM by the 100th pull
- If 1 Million players each summoned 100 times, 270,000 of those players wouldn’t get the HOTM
- 5 out of every 100 people won’t get the HOTM by the 229th pull
- If 1 Million players each summoned 229 times, 50,000 of those players wouldn’t get the HOTM
Everyone wants to have that new awesome hero of the month. But how much should you spend to get it? This post will give you the plain, perhaps discouraging numbers. With this I hope to give you a clear understanding of the odds in this game, to raise awareness about unsustainable spending habits and to enable you to really choose how much you want to spend on this game.

So, the post below was written for the FEH Reddit by user GarlyleWilds when the game was released, and I really believe people here should read. Even though I’m a new player here, I’m an experienced Gacha Player, and I believe most people here, even if they have played for a long time, still don’t understand exactly what a Gacha is, and how it affect pulls. I’ll edit some parts of it to make it fit our game. Hey there, I figured I’d post this up. Before anyone thinks this is “hey don’t spend”……
And close with a final quote from May 2018:
Play responsibly.
With whatever definition of “responsibly” you feel meets your personal situation, keeping in mind that the odds are decidedly NOT in your favor.
