Or: How many summons are needed to get a Legendary Challenge Event Hero?

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

On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 1.65% chance of summoning Bobo.

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

Some useful insights:

  • 15 times out of 100, you’ll get Bobo by pull 100 (26,000 gems)
  • 56 times out of 100, you’ll get Bobo by pull 500 (130,000 gems)
  • 95 times out of 100, you’ll get Bobo by pull 1,796 (467,200 gems)
  • 99 times out of 100, you’ll get Bobo by pull 2,761 (717,900 gems)

Putting that in Perspective

  • 85 out of every 100 people won’t get Bobo by the 100th pull

  • If 1 Million players each spent $259.97 (US) to summon :one::zero::zero: times, 846,364 of those players wouldn’t get Bobo

  • 5 out of every 100 people won’t get Bobo by the 1800th pull

  • If 1 Million players each spent $4,671.53 US to summon :one::eight::zero::zero: times, 49,663 of those players wouldn’t get Bobo

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these two 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. :slight_smile:

I pulled this chap in my summons. I take it he’s good for titans, very fast tournament/war, and not much else?

Wanna know as well, I’m not particularly excited about pulling him… Slow blue barbarian, might only see action during VF rule

You pretty much nailed it. He might be dangerous in defense as he is sturdy and when he fires your top sniper becomes a wet noodle while your healer (or whoever you took as a bulky support) dies like a 3*. Can’t even cleanse that off.

Of course, being slow means a good attacker board will prevent him from doing anything, but that’s the world we live in.

Seems about right - but the impact on titans is huge. May even be significant enough to not limit him to just red titans.

His defense debuff increases the team’s overall tile damage by 35% more than Isarnia’s debuff.

The great thing about a titan specialist - which is how I will use him - is that you don’t HAVE to take him beyond 3/70, which I wouldn’t be able to do anyway as the next scope is reserved for Lord Loki. So assuming his 3/70 attack is about 650, I have my Isarnia at 933… that is a loss of about 10% in tile attack power (at the team level). Which is a net gain of 25%, which should directly translate to titan scores for red titans. That is significant. And that is not even looking at the increased survivability of the team - 60% attack down means he can survive a hit at 3/70, and the rest of the team can survive multiple hits - so potentially saving on timestops there.

I will probably try him out on purple and yellow titans too - the debuff difference is even bigger there over the 34% options I currently have. And again, the attack debuff is enormous…

Overall very happy I pulled him

I pulled him, and I’m very happy! Great against titan, and in VF wars i think he is huge! My alliance plays with blue tank, I’m thinking about putting him even in normal speed wars… By now i’m using Ariel… My war defence could be

MN - Mitsuko - Bobo - Neith - Sartana (i have not a good purple…)

Damn it, I want this guy just for titans. Better luck next time. Yeah he can pretty much be at 3:70 for a long time. Because not only does he debuff -60% defence, it’s -60% attack as well. Wilbur will also retire overnight for titans once this monster of a titan killer is in anyone’s team

I love how this guy went from a meh hero, to completely useless, to holy ■■■■ he’s on steroids overnight. The character arc this hero has gone through, truly a remarkable transformation

I already tested him against titans, including a rare red 10* one. He’s amazing. His 60% defense down is monstrous, and his 60% attack down helps your team to survive. A must have.

What is your dream team on red titan?

Bobo and Miki are obvious. Who more?

Happy gaming

I’ve been thinking about this. It would probably be something like Bobo, Miki, Jott, KA(Frida), Magni-CB or Ariel.

Bobo, Miki, Jott, Frida/KA, Kiril

got him on first pull and nothing else… still a decent hero, maybe underpowered when compared to odin and other monsters there are… but its unique and good for titans and mythic titans

The dream team was already existing and he still the best even with the release of bobo and is:

Mikki - Frida/Arthur - Athena (better debuff than Bobo) - Jott and Vela (crit boost + attack debuff)

The second best is the same team with bobo instead of Athena obviously.

Bobo, Miki and Jott.
3 slow heroes, still works well on titans?

Mine Jott is sitting on the bench. I don’t have Athena or Frida.

Based on my heroes;
Bobo, Miki, Cobalt, Lord Loki, Rumpel

I also have full levels on; Krampus, Raffaele, Isarina (no costume)

And some other blue at lower levels

Happy gaming

That’s why we have mana pots. :slight_smile:

Lord Loki is not really useful against titans. I use him because I don’t own very good blue heroes for this purpose (excepted Bobo now), and he doesn’t shine.

With 804 in attack, Lord L is not good against titan?
Well compare to the heroes on bench , I don’t see any option. You do?

Happy gaming

Ps. I am very happy with Bobo, so far. In combo with Miki, it is a huge advantage. Probably I will level up my Jott later on

I would say Lord Loki is super useful for Mythic Titans (like the one currently presenting itself) more than normal titans, since the Holy Tiles will get the +50% boost instead of negative effects and I will be using mine with 4-holy Heroes to try and get my highest score!

Didn’t pull Bobo but wouldn’t mind him if I did. Probably would take to 3.70 and see about mats…seems the game never wants to give me 4* mat scopes!!!
