 Avoiding Overspending & Heartache  |
|---|
| 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:
- How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis
- What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about “unfair pulls”)
- [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes
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.
