This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the Harvest Festival Summon Portal.


Don’t get too attached

Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.

It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.

So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.


Featured Heroes

  • Rust
  • Whitefang

Brand new feature in this summon

  • For every summon you have a chance to get up to 9x bonus draws!
    • After each summon in 1x, 10x or 30x summons you can see an additional screen with “Harvester Bonus!”, where you see “No Luck” if that summon does not grant you additional summon, or +1, +2 … +9 if that summon grants you 1-9 extra summon(s).
    • There is a counter in the top: “Harvester Bonuses Total: (number)”, where you can see how much extra summons have you collected so far.
    • These “Harvester Bonus Draws” summons are done once the regular 1x, 10, 30x summons are completed.

V69 will be released in 2 weeks. So this summon can might arrive in late August or September too, but all of these just a speculation from me.

I have not got any information from Staff.

The middle of November seems a little late for a “Harvest Festival”.

If it is, it wouldn’t shock me if it’s replacing Morlovia entirely. Similarly to Sand Empire, despite the few new additions with Vanda, Francine, and Alucard, it would be second least desired event for folks to spend their EHTs in for that chance of getting the cool heroes.

I’ve played it multiple times since 2019 and excluding all the rare heroes, I got Frank (w/ costume thankfully) and Lucinda. I can’t say I was really caring too much about chasing them.

Though, if this is another seasonal event, they’re overvaluing these heroes by +100 gems. Lunar New Year’s Legendary-exclusive heroes weren’t given the 400 price tag.

Looks like a “revenue harvester” portal every quarter. My guess is between late August to mid September.

Gotta give players time to hoard gems.

I’m guessing it runs from Chuseok/Mid-Autumn festival which falls on the 17th of September this year up to the Autumn Equinox on the 22th.

If I’m understanding this portal correctly, the overpriced cost is compensated by the “harvester bonus”. In other words for a kinda useless event 3* I’ll receive another useless event 3* (if I’m lucky).

Hard pass for me.

We have just received information from Staff about that chance to get the HotM will be included in the portal.

So I have added it to the OP.

I wish. I have been hoarding EHTs, but none of the seasonal portals are all that appealing to me at present.

Made worse, Lunar and Seasons of Love are the only two, besides Xmas’ overpopulation in gnomes (not even elves), have been the only ones with consistently fun additions/chase-worthy heroes. All the other ones are either lackluster or outdated since, at the earliest, 2021.

What an original idea.

According to my calculations 1 pull will, on average, result in 1.58 pulls:

1*0.68 + 2*0.2 + 3*0.06 + 4*0.026 + 5*0.012 + 6*0.009 + 7*0.006 + 8*0.004 + 9*0.002 + 10*0.001 = 1.58

Which means average chance for 5* in single pull (not considering HotM or eventual Secret Summon) is 0.025*1.58 = 0.0395 = 3.95%

So compared to Solstice or BF, that one had chance for 5* was 3.8%.

BUT this portal is more expensive so maybe Solstice or BF is still better option. Now important thing is whether Secret Summon (HotM is meh, so nobody cares anyway) is calculated just from that one summon or all bonus summons.

Wait so, can you get 9 extra summons from just 1x pull?

Hmm, yes, that’s what staff advertised since the beginning :grin: they didn’t disclose the 0.1% odd for this to occur though :rofl:

Was hoping someone would do the math. Thanks, @Nightmare2048 . Seems like you’ve assessed it pretty well.
