Iā€™ll try to make this less complicated to read this time, also an update :
Currently 4+ years of playing, c2p, though Iā€™m trying to stop spending again :smiley:.
Had the game uninstalled for 10 weeks somewhere between April - June 2021
Almost level 90 (around 20% missing to level up)

Currently : 44 unique 5* heroes + 6 costumes (5 S1 and 1 non-S1)
I have 53 total retrainings in HA10. 5 of them delivered something other than S1 vanilla.
Not couting dupes (though I only got 1 non-S1/costume duplicate ever - Alasie)

S1 - 20 - IIRC 1. Sartana was from EHT and 1. Obakan from HA10 - retrain 11, the rest I probably got first from TC20, but tbh i just donā€™t remember anymore. I already got each 5* from TC20 at least once I believe.
S1 costumes - Horghall, Elkanen, Marjana from Costume Chamber; Khagan, Lianna from HA10 - retrainings 20 and 36
S2 - 4 - Inari, Mitsuko, Mok-Arr, Misandra from HA10 - retrain 41
S3 - 1 - Skadi - Soul Exchange, no 5* from the portal itself
S4 - 0
S5 - 0
Tower Events - 0
Seasonal events 0 (and only 2 4* seasonal event heroesā€¦ in 4+ years of playing this is catastrophical pulling unluck I got in these portals)
Challenge Events (counting CoK) - 3 - Guardian Owl, Queen Of Hearts, Marie-Therese
W3K - 0
HOTMs - 16 - Iā€™ll try chronological order from oldest to newest how they were released in the game + added info, if I didnā€™t get the Hotm from the month they were actual Hotms -
Athena - from HA10 - 1st retrain in Dec 2020, Alby - with costume from ToL in Feb 2022, Aeron, Alasie, Gravemaker, Gregorion, Drake Fong from HA10 - retrain 9 in Feb 2021, Aegir, Onatel - Atlantis in Dec 2020, Frida, Zulag, Bertila, Alexandrine, Balbar, Hanitra, Viscaro.

Bleh, still a complicated postā€¦ I tried lol.

Okay, letā€™s give it a go. Iā€™m gonna try to remember where from I got the heroes, itā€™s gonna be good brain gymnastics.

  1. Playing since December 2018. Level 67.

  2. I wouldnā€™t know if Iā€™m p2p or c2p, it depends on the month. Iā€™ve definitely spent a lot more during quarantine and am trying to cut back on my spending.

  3. I use gems for summons and skips. Increasing roster space too, but Iā€™m focusing on 5* and 4* mostly and only on the ones I like. Iā€™m not a collector, I donā€™t participate in the tournaments (or I play it rarely), I play levels only when I have to. My leveling comes from Atlantis.

S1/TC20 - Got all of S1 heroes. I still remember how effing exalted I was when I pulled Sartana.

S2 - Poseidon and Inari

S3 - Heimdall, Sif and Lady Loki

S4 - Zenobia, Dr. Moreau, Luigi, Russula

S5 - Papi

Challenge events, including W3K - King Arthur, Emilio (which I pulled during Black Friday event), Gaillard, Anzogh (pulled during BF event too), Boss Wolf, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu

HOTM - Onatel, Kunchen Devana, Kingston, Russell, Alex, Viscaro, Raffaele, Malicna, Zocc, Bertila, Grazul, Noor, Chakkoszrot, Elradir, Zulag, Reuben, Frosth, Kara, Hanitra, Silvaria, Zagrog

HA10 - Zimkitha, c. Elena, c. Elkanen, c. Quintus, Elena, Lianna

Seasonal - Pengui, Francine, c. Lepus

ToL - Neith, Drake and Myztero

Costume chamber - c. Vivica

Towers - Zero heroes

So, that amounts to 65 unique heroes. Nice.

To a point, I think Iā€™ve mostly kept track of some of my 5* heroes after I started TC20. Memory is fuzzy but will try to display a chart of all the ones I have.

From TC20

  • 9 :sunny: Holy Heroes
  • 6 :snowflake: Ice Heroes
  • 3 :skull: Dark Heroes
  • 5 :fire: Fire Heroes
  • 3 :herb: Nature Heroes

Majority of the Classic Legendary heroes I gained were from TC20. However, the game worked overtime to never give Lianna or Sartana before I started HA10. Similarly, none of the portals or 10 pull attempts I made in the various event portals completed the S1 set.

From HA10

  • 40 Classic/Season 1 Heroes
    ** 8 :herb: Nature
    ** 7 :fire: Fire
    ** 8 :snowflake: Ice
    ** 8 :sunny: Holy
    ** 8 :skull: Dark
    *** 2 Costumes (cIsarnia and cKadilen)

HA10, though it repeatedly gave Classic heroes, two resulted in a costume bonus draw, cIsarnia being the only new addition. cKadilen humorously was pulled from HA10 moments after gaining that same costume from Costume Chamber.

From Costume Chamber

  • 6 Legendary Costumes
    ** 4 :herb: Nature (cKadilen x2, cElkanen, cHorghall)
    ** 1 :skull: Dark (cDomitia)
    ** 1 :fire: Fire (cKhagan)

While I still find some mild enjoyment of Masquerade/Costume Quest, Costume Chamber is quickly being semi-obsolete with non-S1 costumes existing in the portals the heroes theyā€™re for are already sitting in. Despite this, Iā€™ve still dumped keys into the portal in the hopes of getting cRigard or even completing the 4* set, never believing Iā€™d even get any 5* costumes.

HOWEVER, I had a great year in 2020 and years afterwards, if not a 5* costume, have gotten bonus draws of the featured HOTMs. To my knowledge, they would include: Rueben, Bertila, Chakkoszrot, and Zagrog.

From Event Summons

  • Atlantis/S2
    ** 1 :fire: Fire (Ares)
    ** 1 :herb: Nature (Atomos)
    ** 1 :skull: Dark (Ursena)*
  • Valhalla/S3
    ** 1 :fire: Fire (Lady Loki)
    ** 1 :sunny: Holy (Odin)
  • Challenge & Seasonal
    ** 2 :sunny: Holy (Sir Roostley**, Faline)
  • Other Events
    ** 2 :herb: Nature (Alberich - ToL, Kingston - BFS)

Across all the other events, Iā€™ve been super unlucky here and there. However, I managed (with the exception of Underwilds) to get at least 2 legendary heroes from specific Map Portals. Everything else was great luck and not listed are bonus draws:

  • 3 :fire: Fire (Grazul, Rueben, Zagrog)
  • 2 :herb: Nature (Bertila, Balbar)
  • 1 :snowflake: Ice (Alexandrine)
  • 1 :skull: Dark (Chakkoszrot)

Footnotes

* Ursena was later gained through Soul Exchange with the sarcifice of 15 duplicates, all Classics from TC20 or 10 pulls.
** Attempt in gem pulls during the first Black Friday Summons resulted in at least 1 duplicate Sir Roostley. (I still laugh that even this portal knew I had him already and didnā€™t want to give me anymore new heroes)

Update after about 2 months -

New heroes/costumes :
1st S5 5* hero - Papyros
1st Seasonal event 5* hero - Rana + C
2 new Hotms - Kara, Arfanias
2 new Costumes - C Rana, C Magni (60th retrain in HA10)

I got 3 more non-s1 dupes since last time (4 total) -
Aegir from 10x from Solsticeā€¦ I literally had chance of getting 5* dupe about 12.5% and it happened, kinda sucks.
2 Kara dupes (I got 3 total in May)
All 3 most likely food for SE.

I would max two Karaā€˜s if I had them, taunt is so useful, and especially a yellow taunter in this purple-tank- metaā€¦

Happy gaming

I have Queen of Hearts and Iā€™ll never have emblems for 2nd Kara. I prefer variation,
but Iā€™ll most likely keep 1 just in case. I currently have exactly 15 heroes to put into SE. But in next month and half Iā€™ll probably get at least 1 S1 dupe I think. Still, there might not be anything worthy 15 souls next SE.

Iā€™m totally an F2P, playing since Mar, 2019:
Got my first 5s ever from tc20 in Oct, 2019 it was Isarnia :heart:
My strategy was like playing and save coins until i can do one big draw rather than pulling once or twice every eventā€¦
T = total. F = fire
D = dark. I = ice
H = holy. N = nature

TC20: T: 19 4 of each element except H:3
Atlantis: T: 2. D:2
Valhalla: T:0
Underground: T:0 ( still not summonned yet )
Costumes: T:5. D:2. H:1. F:1. I:1
Events: T:1. H:1
Seasonal: T:2. F:1. H:1
HOTMs: T:8. D:2. H:2. F:2. I:2.
HA10: T:3. I:1. N:2.

  • still waiting Leonidas to complete S1.
  • my atlantis portal was very lucky got Ursena Mokar and Raffaelle.
  • first costumes event was so lucky to get Rigard+Costume and JF.
    -Valhalla portal was too disappointing for me that I deleted the game for 2 weeks XD, 39 summons no 5s, no hotm, not even Mist :broken_heart:, I remember i got 9Ɨ 3stars dark ratā€¦
  • Underground: still doing hard mode, Iā€™ll collect the remaining coins then wait for a good hotm to pull.
  • in last Halloween, did 13 pulls for nothing, the next day got EHT from MV, desperatly threw it in to get Vanda+C.

Hey a 13 Month update!

S1 heroes (reduced by soul exchange, only keeping ā€œmaxedā€) (15):
2 purple
3 yellow
3 blue
3 green
4 red

S2 heroes (1):
1 Purple

S3 heroes (1):
1 Blue

S4 heroes (3):
1 Purple
1 Green
1 Blue

HOTM (16):
5 Yellow (contains duplicate)
3 green

Net gain of non season 1 heroes in 13 monthsā€¦ 15! Which is really good IMO.
Paid pull non season 1 % decreased from 31.25% (5 of 16) to 25.81% (8 of 31). Soul exchange added 2 event heroes to the number which is very helpful, keeping 3 TC 20ā€™s running for this.

Joon is an amazing first one!

100%. I started playing in July of 2019. My first 5* was the following month, Miki. Was ecstatic. Next month, September, I got Mitsuko on a single pull. 2 heroes I still use on a regular basis as they are both invaluable.

Making a new post because I got Klaern! hahaha no, as ifā€¦

no, because I got my very first ever Tower 5*ā€¦ Nyx!!! coin pull 5, whoopie, save the best for last!

And edit to add Celidanaā€¦

And a 3rd edit to add: Victor and his costume! Whooohoo, wow the thread name matches eh? Bites, get it? :stuck_out_tongue:

  • Playing time: 4 years 2 months; VC2P (total spend: 10 deals of 3 EUR each, total 30 EUR). As my breakdown below shows, Iā€™ve had above-average luck for my spend level.

  • 46 unique 5*s + 9 costumes

  • Breakdown -

  1. S1: COMPLETE SET of 20! (Sartana, Domitia, Obakan, Joon, Justice, Leonidas, Isarnia, Richard, Magni, Kadilen, Elkanen, Horghall, Elena, Marjana, Azlar, Khagan, Lianna, Vivica, Quintus, Thorne).

I canā€™t remember how many/which ones were TC 20 vs. summons in other portals (Elena at least Iā€™m sure was from an EHT in Seasonal Portal, and I know Domitia was from an EHT too, with Vivica and Quintus from HA10). If I had to estimate, I would say 75% of these from TC20, 25% from portals, and now 2 from HA10!

  1. Atlantis: 2 (Inari, Ursena)

  2. Valhalla: 1 (Bera)

  3. Seasonal: 5 (Lepus, Rana, Francine, Santa, Victor)

  4. Challenge Event: 2 (Guardian Owl, Chameleon) ā€“ both from Guardians!!

  5. HOTM: 15 (Seshat, Aeron, Malosi, Aegir, Margaret, Gregorion, Yang Mai, Elradir, Devana, Russell, Iris, Zagrog, Silvaria, Klaern, Celidana). of these, 13 were summoned in their debut month + 2 from being re-featured in Atlantis (Aeron, Gregorion)

  6. Towers + Alliance quest: 1 (Nyx)

  7. TOL (Myztero): nope!

  8. Costumes: 9 - 7 vanilla (Joon, Marjana, Sartana, Richard, Domitia, Magni, Khagan) and 2 seasonal (Master Lepus, Victor)

  9. Underwild: None

  10. Dunes: Nope!

This is my actual summons chart:

Total Dark Holy Ice Nature Fire
S1/ TC20 20 4 4 4 4 4
S2: Atlantis 2 1 1
S3: Valhalla 1 1
S4: Underwild 0
S5: Dunes 0
HoTM 15 2 3 3 4 3
Seasonal 5 1 1 1 1 1
Challenge Events 2 1 1
Towers + Ally Quest + 3 Kingdoms 1 1
Total 46 10 10 8 10 8
Costume 9 3 2 2 2
