Or: How many summons are needed to get an Epic Challenge Event Hero?
Itâs 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 25.1% chance of summoning Captain of Diamonds.
But that statistic can lead our minds astray in exactly how our odds play out as we continue summoning.
Some useful insights:
50 times out of 100, youâll get Captain of Diamonds by pull 24 (6,400 gems)
94 times out of 100, youâll get Captain of Diamonds by pull 100 (26,000 gems)
99 times out of 100, youâll get Captain of Diamonds by pull 160 (41,600 gems)
Putting that in Perspective
50 out of every 100 people wonât get Captain of Diamonds by the 24th pull
If 1 Million players each summoned times, 500,000 of those players wouldnât get Captain of Diamonds
6 out of every 100 people wonât get Captain of Diamonds by the 100th pull
If 1 Million players each summoned times, 60,000 of those players wouldnât get Captain of Diamonds
1 out of every 100 people wonât get Captain of Diamonds by the 160th pull
If 1 Million players each summoned times, 10,000 of those players wouldnât get Captain of Diamonds
More Insights & Reading
I highly recommend reading these two threads for more information and context on summoning odds:
If youâve 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.
Just pulled him. He seems meh but since heâs the only Riddles hero I have except the bear Iâd keep him (and probably never level him).
This ârandomly attacks a new targetâ thing means he does his special twice? I mean that if he hits a hero with minions and then targets another hero does he remove the minions from the second target too? And these two attacks are it, right? He canât hit the entire team (if they all have minions)? Cause that would be cool.
If the second, random target also has a minion then he will repeat the attack on a third, random target, and so on. In that way he could conceivably attack 6 targets but that would be exceedingly rare. This âchainâ behavior reminds me somewhat of the new Sir Roostley mechanic. It has very high potential damage, but very little chance in practice.
Edit - each target must have their minion removed by Cap in order for the chain to continue. Targeting Telluria mid-chain will break the chain since Telluria will resist the minion removal.
For the poll question about giving him emblems: I would love a âOnly if you plan to use himâ option. He is too fragile without emblems and since minion casters are primarily 5* he needs to be able to survive.
IF there were many 4* minion casters I would vote otherwise but until that timeâŠ
I was just referring to the CoD poll but in fairness it could apply to all 4*. With CoD it feels like the issue is forced because he really HAS to go up against 5* based on his special.
Most 4* are perfectly suited to face other 4* and SOME are so good that you want to bring them to the 5* parties too but their design doesnât force you to do it.
I got Captain of D today. I am limited on blue heroes, and sonya is my only fast one, so i am keeping him and going to max him now.
I donât have many blues:
Grimm / Jott / Miki / Sonya (and costume) / Kiril
Snow White + Isarnia (about 3/10 each).
Raf, unlevelled.
So, for me personally I think CoD will be a nice addition to my roster just a shame is is a paladin, so I have no emblems for him
Yeah picked up my first one (and a dupe) plus an Obakan as only real noteworthy pulls⊠as in theyâre new additions to my âcollectionâ so Iâm happy in that regard.
Now hoping for Halloween to introduce a red 4* minion summoner, say the Headless Horseman with flaming pumpkin minions??
I maxed CoD, even put emblems (+12) on him to try and make him worthwhile.
I failed.
He has no emblems.
For newer players he may fill a need but when running against emblemed 5* teams CoD canât hack it. Shame because minions are now ubiquitous in Diamond.
Most of the SI 4* will have more use in the present and better odds of remaining useful to you as you progress in the game. This is especially true with costumes that breathed new life into many of the SI 4* heroes (Sonya, Caedmon, Melendor. No ânew lifeâ for Rigard, he still had life and simply became elite level).
EDIT: Need to add Kiril, costume brought him back too!
Pulled him. Grudgingly started leveling him since I had just finished my previous blue.
And then I pulled Alice the next day.
So happy I didnât ascend Richard.
Edit:
For him to have any use, there needs to be even a single 4* minion user. Thereâs already a 3, and a pretty good one, so they need to make a 4 star now.
Until then he can rot. And when I do eventually level him, heâll sit at 3/60 until my inventory overflows with capes.
