Avoiding Overspending & Heartache
Or: How many Summons are needed to get this Hero?

It’s important to remember that Heroes have low Summoning odds. No amount of Summoning will guarantee a Hero.

On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 2% chance of summoning Guardian Panther.

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

Some useful insights:

• 18 times out of 100, you’ll get Guardian Panther by pull 100
• 63 times out of 100, you’ll get Guardian Panther by pull 500
• 95 times out of 100, you’ll get Guardian Panther by pull 1500
• 99 times out of 100, you’ll get Guardian Panther by pull 2300

Putting that in Perspective

• 82 out of every 100 people won’t get Guardian Panther by the 100th pull

• If 1 Million players each summoned 100 times, 820,000 of those players wouldn’t get Guardian Panther

• 5 out of every 100 people won’t get Guardian Panther by the 1500th pull

• If 1 Million players each summoned 1500 times, 50,000 of those players wouldn’t get Guardian Panther

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these two threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about "unfair pulls")

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.

Special thanks to @Garanwyn for assistance on summoning odds and proofreading for this section.

[amrath]

For the -54% down to dark, that seems scary. How would you use her against dark?!? Who would you bring with her? What configuration of team would you take her against?

[Susanna]

With her I bring Hel, Rigard (costume, Ursena & Finlay. This is useful against any team!

[Sh3r1ff]

I am currently making a decision between Guardian Panther and Kunchen to spend my tabbards for last ascension.

Can someone please confirm, if Panther at 3-70 will survive a strike from a 8/9* Titan?
If the answer is yes, I will have an easy decision and get Panther to 3-70 first and kun to Max.

Other maxed purples:
Seshat +11
Hel +7
Domitia +1
Proteus +9
Merlin +1
And all These other 4* classics maxed.

[Starscream]

Max panther. She’s awesome. I use her way more than my kunch

[Starscream]

[Samildanach]

I have a choice who to max between Guardian Panther and Seshat? Already have Ursena and Kunchen maxed but can’t decide between these two!

[Guvnor]

I would go panther for two reasons:

1. She pairs really well with Kunchen (or Tiburtus) and an AOE3+ hero (e.g. Ursena)

2. She is BEASTLY against titans

[Artamiss]

Go for panther. Costume rigards can do what Kunchen does better

[Samildanach]

Panther it is then! Don’t have many Ranger emblems for Seshat anyway, Gregorian used them all!

[valourandvaliance]

I just got her from my summons this challenge event! Because of her Dark elemental defence down, I will be prioritising her over Alfrike, who I also got last Valhalla portal.

Really excited to improve my damage output against Holy titans with her.

[May 2021] Guardians of Teltoc Challenge Event – Guides, Discussion & Summoning Results

I looked forward to this challenge event because of the elemental defence down heroes. I was only hoping for either Guardian Jackal or Guardian Falcon to improve my titan hits in their respective colours. I am aware that the odds of challenge event portals are among the worst in the game… But RNGesus blessed me anyway. Someone else arrived. I finally have my first legendary hero from a challenge event. [May 15, 2021 - Guardians of Teltoc Portal Summons]

[Kvothe]

I chased CGP pretty hard and so far have only been able to get the non-costume version. Does the recent nerf to CGP make this vanilla version more viable? Is she worth leveling ahead of more recent purple heroes like Narcisa, Hawthorne, Kemeny, Khepri, Diaochan, Khonshu, Khepri, etc.?

[Noxyking]

Remember this. Any fast elemental defense down hero is a must have. Lvl him and lvl another two.

Best offensive teams are built around EDD heroes. Hence why SG release so few of them.

[FranMan]

Which talent grid path should i take with her?

[Marie1]

She’s squishy so I went Def/Health, got to keep her alive

[Samantha7]

Noxyking,

One year later…Guardian Panther will be in Fated Summon. Is she still worth levelling? Thanks

[ZokiCro]

She will be my first choice in the next fated. I already have MN and Alby and I need good EDD vs yellow titans.

[Blord]

It will be my first choice too. Sergei can go into retirement.

[Ufeel]

@Noxyking

Best offensive teams are built around EDD heroes. Hence why SG release so few of them.

By best offensive team, does it mean, 3-2 4-1 and mono formation ?

@Homaclese @u2371 sorry for tagging u guys here but would love to know your thought on this (fast) “EDD” and best offensive team building perspective in general.

(Perhaps by best quoted by @Noxyking Noxyking above, is not “best” universally, but pretty much in many situations)
