Or: How many summons are needed to get Hisan?

Special thanks to @Garanwyn for assistance on summoning odds and proofreading for this section.

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

On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 33.5% chance of summoning Hisan.

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

Some useful insights:

  • 80 times out of 100, you’ll get Hisan by pull 40 (10,400 gems)
  • 95 times out of 100, you’ll get Hisan by pull 74 (19,400 gems)
  • 99 times out of 100, you’ll get Hisan by pull 113 (29,500 gems)

Putting that in Perspective

  • 20 out of every 100 people won’t get Hisan by the 40th pull
  • If 1 Million players each summoned 40 times, 200,000 of those players wouldn’t get Hisan
  • 5 out of every 100 people won’t get Hisan by the 74th pull
  • If 1 Million players each summoned 74 times, 50,000 of those players wouldn’t get Hisan

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:

:star2: Epic Hero Tokens Can Be Used for Seasonal Summoning

The Seasonal Summons replaces the regular Epic Hero Summons.

Because of that, unlike Challenge Event Summons, the Summoning Portal for Seasonal Events allows using saved up Epic Hero Tokens that can otherwise normally only be used for Epic Hero Summons.

That makes Seasonal Events the only place you can currently use Epic Hero Tokens for a chance at non-Season 1 heroes.

Many people regard Sand Empire as having good Seasonal Event heroes to use tokens for. For more discussion of this, please see: What is the best Seasonal Summons?

You’ll also have the same chance at the HOTM as usual when using Epic Hero Tokens.

Because Sand Empire 2019 is expected to run from the end of June until the beginning of July, you should have an opportunity to Summon while either HOTM is available.

For information on the June and July HOTM, please see:

:thinking: Wondering About Your Personal Situation?

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

If you’d like more extensive advice on sorting out your particular roster, I recommend creating a new thread in #gameplay-help-tactics, and posting screenshots of your hero roster, along with your questions.

:bulb: Have an Insight on Hisan’s Game Mechanics?

This thread is a great place to discuss anything and everything related to Hisan.

Once those discussions have yielded notable insights, I encourage others to make reference guides in #player-guides that synopsize specific questions and answers about Hisan.

Topics that are most appropriate for that are ones that players are likely to be searching for or wondering about in the future.

Creating a guide is a good way to make that information findable in the future without having to read through a ton of posts. You can make use of the Forum quote feature to avoid having to rewrite explanations that have already been well written.

Here’s an example of such a post: [GUIDE] How does the Queen of Hearts’ Taunt work with AoE specials, or specials affecting nearby enemies in addition to the target?

I learned that Hisan means horse in Arabic, not whore thanks to @Jedon. Not there’s an old reference I doubt many will remember. Also, it may have been in APL so that limits even more people. :joy::rofl::joy::rofl:

Or more! There’s still an expected 1% chance that you wouldn’t get Hisan by that point.

I can totally c how Hisan would b a great addition to a team of all Rares on events and challenges that r class specific and I will say the special is nice but the shield number is too low for me. I know that if every hero were perfect the game would b a tad boring but I just wouldn’t actively seek Hisan. If I got him though I’d surely keep him!

He’s a fast sniper with a high attack, so he lacks sturdiness in exchange for strength.

He actually shares his stats with Rudolph, who has the exact same 540/391/608 stat line, and he compares slightly favorably (for stats alone) to Squire Wabbit, who’s 538/382/608.

I do have Hisan and love him, I use him in every rare event (except green reflect) and every rare tournament now.
I think Hisan belongs to the very best in 3*s.

I wasn’t playing last year during Sand Empire. I will use all my EHTs to see what I can pull. Presently, that’s only seven. :laughing:

I did pull Muggy last Atlantis. I’m wondering if Muggy and Hisan could be a pretty potent duo in rare events. In fact, what about Hisan, Muggy, Brienne, Belith, and your favorite fifth green rare are a rare green mono team? Huge attack, Brienne’s boost, and Belith’s healing. On paper (pixels) it looks pretty good to me.

Compared to Arman, Hisan is better. High attack stat for events and fast mana. That said I don’t think trying to summon any 3* is worth it. Nice if you get him, but it’s more of a consolation price if you don’t get the 5*s.

Probably the best hero among sand cards on his weight.

Even 3 of him would be cool to upgrade, do not feed them.
