I’ve been playing for about 4-5 months now +spend about $15-20 each month in game (VIP +cheap offers). I’ve got five 4* heros, no holy 4*, no 5*.
How long did it take for everyone to get their first 5* +did you spend a ton of gems to get them or was it just chance? I’m just curious 
I got one two weeks in on an epic token pull: Domitia. Didn’t know how rare one was at that point. I am 4 months in and was fortunate enough to get a second one on another Epic Hero Token (Magni) a few weeks ago. So, two in 4ish months for me, CTP ( I do VIP and the cheap gem deals).
I have 21 4* heroes though…you have rotten luck if you only have 4 total! I spend about the same as you…probably less ($10-$15/month).
5 months. .no 5*
Not complaining i have solid 4* rainbow and 4 4* troops.
Its all about luck.
If you are:
●C2P your best shot is buying VIP saving gems till good event with good odds then pull.
●F2P your best chance is saving all the gems you have all the epic hero tokens and wait till a good event with good odds then pull.
But if you are a
♤☆♤P2P/P2W you wont wait and/or you don’t have to wait, Halloween is here in couple of hours get good ount of gems and pull pull pull …
You will get few 5☆ maybe HOTM too.
Thanks for the tip @Jedon! I didn’t know events had better pull rates than elemental summons! I’ll definitely save up for them now!
Lucky duck @Rduke77! 
Yeh that’s all I buy as well, occasionally a $8 offer if I’m feeling lucky…which I now know is a lie is it seems I’m unlucky lololol
Just want to point out that epic hero tokens can only be used for seasonal event summons - like Halloween - but not for Challenge events - like Grimmforest, Guardians, Pirates and Avalon - which are only available for gem summons.
2 months give or take.
Spent only vip for 25 days now.
4s - colen, gadeirus, sonya
5s - red hood > first and single 300 pull on last event
just started SH 19. So in a month or two ill start producing 5s on the tc20.
After around 3 months. Spending around €15-20. Got Vivica from 10x elemental summon.
Nowadays I get 3 5* from my 4 training centers at level 20
I don’t remember, a couple of months maybe. Only spent on cheap gem deals, so made one or a few pulls every time.
I got my first less than a month in while I was still F2P. Got Musashi in a single pull with Kiril, which definitely accelerated my progress in the game.
I have received my first 5* after a month of playing in May. Aeron. Helped me out a lot and I still use him every day. He was an epic hero token bonus draw.
Then later I received Justice and Gregorian from an epic hero token and an epic hero token bonus draw. I have been running two TC 20’s for 2 months straight now and have Domitia, Quintus and Vivica.
So, after 7 months of playing the game provided me with six 5* heroes, including two HOTM.
Got my Joon from a token after ca 3 month of playing, nothing in the next 7 month afterwards. Then suddenly Liana, Richard and Magni from tc20 in a week. I got my first Wu after a year of playing. So it is really matter of luck.
Keep collecting those ascension materials, feed your tc20s, keep pulling and something will show up! Good luck.
Im the most unluckiest person in this Game. Until lvl 27 i havent seen a second 4* hero. In 4 Days i got vivica and obakan from train 20
I just did three Halloween pulls, got Vlad, Azar +Oberon…so I guess vlad is cool but Valeria would of been really nice, I never expected I’d get Victor haha 
I hate people who are this lucky, but I got Victor on my second pull just a few minutes ago. I’ve been playing for over a year now and still have never gotten a HOTM, so things do balance out.
My Horghall was the first 5* I ever got. He was from an epic hero token I got randomly from either a Titan or mystic vision. I got him to 3-70 and there he remains and likely will remain, as I pulled Lianna from TC20 while waiting for tonics.
Good luck to everyone!
I’m exactly 30 days into the game and I got 3, having spent about 70$ total. Got Tarlak and Mok-Arr from 4 Atlantis tokens, and made a 10xpull on red heroes and got Aegir Bonus draw.
I have 12 four stars, 6 from the 2 10x summons I made and 6 from epic tokens and some 300gem summon
My luck was all spent in the first 2-3 months of game pulling both Hel and Athena when i didn’t even know what a HotM was. (spending for both… mh… 30 Euros?)
So for me it was extremely quick at first.
The problem is that i don’t pull any other HotM after them and waited 6 months or so for another 5*
I was lucky, The first time i got 300 gems I pulled Thorne (i was very happy then 
)and bonus Aeron. I was about 1 week into the game
