 Avoiding Overspending & Heartache  |
|---|
| Or: How many summons are needed to get an Underwild Featured Legendary Hero? |
It’s important to remember that Season 4 Underwild Heroes have EXTREMELY low summoning odds. No amount of summoning will guarantee a Season 4 Hero.
On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 3.3% chance of summoning Russula (Featured).
But that statistic can lead our minds astray in exactly how our odds play out as we continue summoning.
Some useful insights:
- 9 times out of 100, you’ll get Featured Russula by pull 30
- 28 times out of 100, you’ll get Featured Russula by pull 100
- 50 times out of 100, you’ll get Featured Russula by pull 300
- 95 times out of 100, you’ll get Featured Russula by pull 898
- 99 times out of 100, you’ll get Featured Russula by pull 1380
Putting that in Perspective
Gems cost $99.99 US for 10,000. A 30x Summons costs $83.99 US.
-
91 out of every 100 people won’t get Featured Russula by the 30th pull.
-
If 1 Million players each spent
$83.99 USDto summon 30 times, 904,687 of those players wouldn’t get Featured Russula. -
28 out of every 100 people won’t get Featured Russula by the 100th pull.
-
If 1 Million players each spent
$281.97 USDto summon 100 times, 716,133 of those players wouldn’t get Featured Russula. -
1 out of every 100 people won’t get Featured Russula by the 1,380th pull.
-
If 1 Million players each each spent
$3,863.61 USDto summon 1,380 times, 9,975 of those players wouldn’t get Featured Russula.

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.
