Avoiding Overspending & Heartache
Or: How many summons are needed to get a Seasonal Event Legendary Hero?
Itās 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, youāll get a specific Seasonal Legendary Hero by pull 100
95 times out of 100, youāll get a specific Seasonal Legendary Hero by pull 598
99 times out of 100, youāll get a specific Seasonal Legendary Hero by pull 919
Putting that in Perspective
61 out of every 100 people wonāt get a specific Seasonal Legendary Hero by the 100th pull
If 1 Million players each summoned 100 times, 610,000 of those players wouldnāt get the specific Seasonal Legendary Hero
5 out of every 100 people wonāt get the specific Seasonal Legendary Hero by the 598th pull
If 1 Million players each summoned 598 times, 50,000 of those players wouldnāt 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 youāve 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.
IMHO, as he has been changed to average mana, his healing reduction should last longer.
2 rounds is OK for a fast heroe, but with average mana, you will need to decide whether you want the damage and the dispel or the health reduction. Otherwise you need to be very lucky to find a situation where you can use all of his skills useful
Super dissapointed he was changed to average. This hero needed to be fast to be viable in the age of Telly. Would have been perfect cleanser for yellow.
Auron Bladeās YouTube video puts Roc as a fast mana generating hero. We will only know when the mythical bird will be released in a couple of days. My 3/70 Rana is waiting for over a year.
Jean Francois has his other uses, especially to several Springvale heroes. You do not rely a heroās strength based on his offensive skills alone, but to his/her other skills as well.
Well thatās kind of my point. JF is another hero with ~300ish DOT/all and useful secondary abilities, and they gave him fast mana. Iām not trashing JF, but no one is really accusing him of breaking the game either, so I donāt know why you wouldnāt do the same with Roc.
In addition, the healing nerf becomes kind of useless on offense because most defensive healers are at tank, so it usually goes to waste at average speed.
seems to be something between Rana and Yunan. may also work on defense, i.e. as Ursena flank? The healing block can be a strong tool on offense though (of course depends on enemy team formation). Cleanse to all is nice. hero is not bad. Personally I would have been more interested in a fast cleanser, (no zimkitty hereā¦) but anyhow, my holy queue is long enough alreadyā¦
Looking this over, it seemsā¦ super weak. I guess the goal is to keep activating the special just before a healer goes off each time, and hope to eventually work down the enemy teamās health? But to me, that seems to signify a long, drawn-out battle, and I hate those.
And here I was hoping to try to get a better Yellow 5* than my 3-70 Ranvir; guess Iām in no rush to get 6 darts.
Seems pretty meh. Hard passā¦
If i snag him off some free eht somehow, Iād max him just cause, but definitely not a hero Iād consider chasing or advise anyone else to either
Better heroes coming, would save your gems folksā¦
Looking at him in real game now, I am really not impressed.
Closest comparison is to JF who is 1) fast 2) dealing DOT across 2 turns not 3.
And still JF doesnāt even make it to my main red squad as heās too weakā¦ heck, nowadays I donāt even take him to finisher attacks on wars.
Average cleanse may help yellows, but is that a selling point over Vivicaās slow cleanse but with almost everyone already having Vivica on max?
Healing block is situational, even on offense kinda difficult to time it correctly, on defense no impact.
So my take on thisā¦ At the point where I am so desperate to max any yellow to help my stack that I consider maxing Owl, if I pull Roc, I would still max Owl first. At least I have some druid emblems to spare.
