 Avoiding Overspending & Heartache  |

Or: How many summons are needed to get a HOTM?
_Special thanks to @Garanwyn & @zephyr1 for assistance on summoning odds and proofreading for this section.
It’s important to remember that HOTM have very low summoning odds. No amount of summoning will guarantee a HOTM.
On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 12.3% chance of summoning the HOTM.
But that statistic can lead our minds astray in exactly how our odds play out as we continue summoning.
Some useful insights:
- 73 times out of 100, you’ll get a HOTM by pull 100
- 95 times out of 100, you’ll get a HOTM by pull 229
- 99 times out of 100, you’ll get a HOTM by pull 352
Putting that in Perspective
-
27 out of every 100 people won’t get the HOTM by the 100th pull
-
If 1 Million players each summoned 100 times, 270,000 of those players wouldn’t get the HOTM
-
5 out of every 100 people won’t get the HOTM by the 229th pull
-
If 1 Million players each summoned 229 times, 50,000 of those players wouldn’t get the HOTM
More Insights & Reading
I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:
-

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.

Is Kara worth Summoning For?
That will still be my very last straw getting her, I really could use a holy hero and what’s best, a taunter that is! I did get BK from last Challenge Event though, so can’t say anymore that she would be the 1st taunter in my roster if I happened to get her.
