Or: How many summons are needed to get a Seasonal Event Legendary Hero?

It’s important to remember that Seasonal Event Heroes have extremely low summoning odds. No amount of summoning will guarantee a Seasonal Hero.

On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 4.9% chance of summoning a particular Seasonal Legendary Hero.

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

Some useful insights:

  • 39 times out of 100, you’ll get a specific Seasonal Legendary Hero by pull 100
  • 95 times out of 100, you’ll get a specific Seasonal Legendary Hero by pull 598
  • 99 times out of 100, you’ll get a specific Seasonal Legendary Hero by pull 919

Putting that in Perspective

  • 61 out of every 100 people won’t get a specific Seasonal Legendary Hero by the 100th pull

  • If 1 Million players each summoned 100 times, 610,000 of those players wouldn’t get the specific Seasonal Legendary Hero

  • 5 out of every 100 people won’t get the specific Seasonal Legendary Hero by the 598th pull

  • If 1 Million players each summoned 598 times, 50,000 of those players wouldn’t get the specific Seasonal Legendary Hero

More Insights & Reading

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

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. :slight_smile:

Summoned her last year using a x10 pull. She is still stuck at 3/70, hesitant to ascend her since I prioritized others. I have maxed Drake Lee, Joon and costume, Onatel, Poseidon and Gazelle. Sitting on 16 darts (17th from the POV but soon) and I may ascend her as my 6th maxed holy legendary surely if I don’t get Roc. But even if I got the new SandEmpire hero, Rana would still be ascended, unless I changed my mind and ascend a second Joon + costume or second Gazelle or 3/70 Vivica (if I get her costume). I was also thinking of dividing them holy legendary heroes to 2 teams, all fast in one team (Drake, Joon and Poseidon), all average in another (Rana would fit in with Onatel and Gazelle). They will be accompanied by Lady Wool, Jackals, Gretel and other 4 star holy heroes.

Got her last year but just maxed her yesterday. I’m super pleased with DoT. Clarissa and Rana are super good together.

Would you ascend Roc first over Rana? I kind of like Rana a bit better although Roc’s cleanse all is nice in this current Telly-Vela-GM meta. It’s a shame only average speed tho.

Really hoping to get Rana. Only a few EHTs though. Just a few more days. I can’t wait to try! :sunglasses:

Got her last year, and ascended her a couple months ago as my 3rd maxed Yellow 5*. I use her in a mono stack with costumed Joon, costumed Li Xiu, Inari and Lady Woolerton. Rana makes a great finisher; I usually leave healers for last (except if they’re Ariel) so her heal block and DoT are invaluable for me.

Unless they buff up Roc from what was reported in beta, I’d definitely go with Rana.

If Roc is released as is, then I will ascend Rana. Until the new SandEmpire hero is released in the live game, I will have to see

What is the best path for Rana using emblems ? I have Vela, GN, Clarissa and want to do a quad status ailment combo , thanks in advancing

Sword path, of course. The higher the attack stat is, the higher the DoT would be.

Mine is full attack. I use her only on offense, her DOT is no joke if you add the troops…
I really like her.

Thanked for the picture , I have the ninja troop so I definitely go ahead with attack, is she good on defense team ? What about dispell status ailments from nearby allies?

I think the normal Rana needs buff, do you agree?

Even the Costumed Rana needs a buff.

Sand Empire is a joke compared to other seasonal events.

That you say is sad…but true!
Hope this summer they will make some renovations, beyond the visual ones (taller heroes;), to the Sand Empire cards eg. Specials that can work together (and not be the same), add more colours than only two to 5* etc. Seeing season5, imho, they will probably add some juice to the next Summer Season Family!
