Finally we see real and official numbers for hero drop rates. I don’t know if it was imposed by someone or a free choice from Small Giant, neverless is really great and a huge step forward in my eyes.
I have to say drop rates seems to be worse that what we were expected, and now i would like to know if training camp odds are similar of our conclusions.
I’ve always used 2.5% as my assumption for 5* from Elemental/Event, which turns out to be spot on. I was surprised at the relative scarcity of event heroes to regular heroes in the Event portal; no wonder event 5 are so scarce, and getting a particular event 5* very difficult. (Guardian Panther, I’m looking at you!)
The 1.5% from Epic is a little lower than I thought.
The 10% for 4* troops was higher than I thought, but exactly what @Avicious assumes in his spreadsheets.
Now the odds of 4* ascension items in the Ascension Packs – those are pretty low, but we’ve always known that. I was surprised about how low “low” was.
This makes me very happy. Transparency is good and hiding the odds always seemed just a tiny bit unethical.
I expect that the vast majority of players who come to the forum will be enraged, for reasons I cannot yet imagine. I look forward to finding out what it is that makes them angry about this.
