Based on preferences Forum members have expressed, please try to stick mainly to Diaochan and not wander off topic too much to other heroes.

Some Popular Questions for Discussion

  • Is Diaochan worth summoning for?

  • Would you use Diaochan on Defense? Offense? War? Quests/Events? Titans?

  • Which heroes on your Roster best pair with Diaochan ?

  • What heroes would you take when facing Diaochan as an opponent?

Please include some comments about what you think of Diaochan when posting Summon Results. In addition to opinions about Diaochan, you are also encouraged to include how many Summons it took before receiving Diaochan (or how many Summons you’ve done without receiving Diaochan), so other players are presented with realistic experiences of the rarity of Legendary Event Hero.


:money_with_wings: Avoiding Overspending & Heartache :broken_heart:
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 Diaochan.

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

Putting that in Perspective

  • 85 out of every 100 people won’t get Diaochan 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 Diaochan

  • 5 out of every 100 people won’t get Diaochan 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 Diaochan

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. :slight_smile:

The most coveted one in this portal. This hero is going to shift the buff heavy defence meta overnight

Not just against Ludwig, but against any OP buffers out there. C kad is completely helpless against her

I just wonder whenever the hero steals enemies buff will it be override or all the buffs counts one by one :thinking:

This is the one I want the most…for sure.

Heal 35% being fast, wow… Just with that, this hero is OP.

I think Diaochan’ minion steal buff is like Hatter steal buff. Theobald can protect Lady of the Lake’s mana cut so, I think C Kadilen’s buff also have a chance to dodge Diaochan’ minion steal buff too.

There needs to be a test to see this actually. Because my understanding from this is the buff steal is from the minion, not from a special skill. So it can bypass the rules of these buffs like taunt and dodge.
My guess is that the minion is whatever element of the owner.
If it’s like what you mentioned, then it would be quite disappointing
And it’s actually not the end of the world even if c kad can dodge the buff steal. You’re deliberately forcing her to produce minions, and how many times can she dodge those attacks? If you have anti minion heroes, you can just profit from this
