Please include some comments about what you think of Cathal when posting Summon Results. In addition to opinions about Cathal, you are also encouraged to include how many Summons it took before receiving Cathal (or how many Summons you’ve done without receiving Cathal), so other players are presented with realistic experiences of the rarity of Legendary Event hero.
 Avoiding Overspending & Heartache  |
|---|
| 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 Cathal.
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 Cathal by pull 100 (26,000 gems)
- 56 times out of 100, you’ll get Cathal by pull 500 (130,000 gems)
- 95 times out of 100, you’ll get Cathal by pull 1,796 (467,200 gems)
- 99 times out of 100, you’ll get Cathal by pull 2,761 (717,900 gems)
Putting that in Perspective
-
85 out of every 100 people won’t get Cathal by the 100th pull
-
If 1 Million players each spent
$259.97 (US)to summon
times, 846,364 of those players wouldn’t get Cathal -
5 out of every 100 people won’t get Cathal by the 1800th pull
-
If 1 Million players each spent
$4,671.53 USto summon
times, 49,663 of those players wouldn’t get Cathal
More Insights & Reading
I highly recommend reading these three 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.

Is Cathal worth Summoning For?
like a Cobalt but with massive defense and base special power. Quite scary! I’m glad I managed to get him!
