I posed this question on FB, but no one had a good answer, so I’m hoping I can get accurate info here…
I understand the percentage chance for the HOTM pull on a summons, but what I’m not sure of - is that percentage for every individual hero summoned, or based on the entire pull session. For example:
Let’s say I have enough for a 10-pull from whatever summons I choose. The HOTM Bonus draw chance is 1.3%. If I understand right, on a 10-pull, I’ll get 1 chance at 1.3% of summoning the HOTM. Or does a multi-pull loop through the number of summons and give you that many chances at an HOTM?
But, if I choose to spend the extra tokens and do 10 single pulls, I’d get 10 chances (still at 1.3% per summons) to summon the HOTM.
Additionally, I’ve seen many people end up with multiple HOTMS from the same summons. Is this due to EnP/SG allowing the summons to continue so long as the previous summons was successful and returned a hero?
Basically in short each pull has a 1.3% chance at a bonus pull for the HOTM. This is regardless of your pull session length.
There have been quite a few people pull multiple on a 10 pull. You get the chance for the bonus pull after each pull. A 10 pull can net up to 10 bonus pulls in theory
btw, the facebook groups are garbage compared to the forum. Get all your info here. I promise you it will be better.
One each pull has bonus HOTM chance, no different between 1xpull or 10xpull or 30xpull (the different is only gems is cheaper over 1xpull).
And each HOTM bonus also has a chance to get another HOTM (but very very rare).
Each time a hero is summoned, you get a HOTM chance. So if you do a 10-pull, you get 10 HOTM chances. Doing 10 individual pulls will give you the same 10 HOTM chances, but with a higher gem cost and the ability to stop pulling if you get a HOTM before finishing all 10 pulls.
I deleted the post above that had an incorrect explanation of how HOTM Bonus Chances work, to avoid confusing other Forum readers.
Thanks @jinbatsu@King_Nothing and @lexinen for explaining that there’s a 1.3% HOTM Bonus chance for each Hero Summoned, so a 10-pull has 10 chances, and a single pull has 1 chance.
As you explained, there is no advantage to single pulls for trying to get a HOTM, other than that you can stop Summoning if you get what you want.
No problem… rereading what you wrote, it is fine… it was my brain cell that misunderstood… lol. Thanks again to all for the prompt info! Much appreciated!
I was in a raid when I ran into a player who had 5 Elradir in his lineup, the Hero of this exact month.
At first I did not think much of it, but then I got to thinking… the probability of landing a hero of the month is around 1.3% each time you epic summon, that is about 1 in a 100.
The odds of doing that 5 times in the same month is 3.7 x 10^-10. This is 0.00000000037, or 0.0000000037%… 1 in 370 billion attempts.
I have a screenshot of the lineup and the player’s name.
Is this cheating, or am I missing something, because if my numbers are right, this should not be possible - it should not happen in this game, even given its 3 million “active” users. I suspect the number is actually quite a bit LOWER than this, because of the small amount of time a hero of the month is available and since the number of active players who were able to use epic summon at least 5 times this month is undoubtedly less than 3 million. Also, I believe the algorithm for a HotM summon increases the chance slowly over time until a 5* hero is summoned and then it goes down a lot.
Am I truly missing something? Have other people run into this sort of situation?
They only way this might be considered an issue is if they were all fully leveled, even then if they want to waste 30 tonics that’s their problem. I’ve pulled 5 HOTM before on 1 30 pull. You always have the same chance to pull a HOTM regardless if it is your first pull of the month or your 1,000th pull of the month.
Not a cheat. Plenty of players who spend a lot to summon get multiple HOTM. I’m not one of those players, but I’m sure someone can post their roster with that.
I also think about it as 1% chance per 100 pulls, so the average person would get there with 500 pulls. Not unheard of.
I have 4 Yang Mais, 5 Malicnas and 6 Frosths. In the 3 months those were HOTMs I probably did around 30-50 pulls a month.
He is not che*ting, streaks like this happen especially if you pull a decent amount. It evens out thought, as there are many HOTMs that I didn’t get, and I know people who have done hundreds of pulls chasing after a specific HOTM and didn’t get them.
For the record, your maths is waaaay off. If someone was to do 100 pulls their chances of getting at least one HOTM is about 73%. Their chances of getting 5 or more is about 1%.
Seriously doubt this is a cheat, I got 6 Telluria the month she came out, 3 in one 10 pull. I had just started playing and thought I got the jackpot… so little did I know back then… Back on subject, some of the YouTubers have pulled 3 or 4 of them while recording this month… enough pulls and enough luck (if you want to call it that)
