 Avoiding Overspending & Heartache  |
|---|
| Or: How many summons are needed to get an Epic Challenge Event Hero? |
It’s important to remember that Challenge Event Heroes have EXTREMELY low summoning odds. No amount of summoning will guarantee a Challenge Event Hero.
On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 17.5% chance of summoning Sun Shangxiang.
But that statistic can lead our minds astray in exactly how our odds play out as we continue summoning.
Some useful insights:
- 69 times out of 100, you’ll get Sun Shangxiang by pull 20 (5,200 gems)
- 95 times out of 100, you’ll get Sun Shangxiang by pull 156 (46,800 gems)
- 99 times out of 100, you’ll get Sun Shangxiang by pull 240 (62,400 gems)
Putting that in Perspective
- 31 out of every 100 people won’t get Sun Shangxiang by the 20th pull
- If 1 Million players each summoned
times, 309,196 of those players wouldn’t get Sun Shangxiang - 5 out of every 100 people won’t get Sun Shangxiang by the 156th pull
- If 1 Million players each summoned
times, 56,280 of those players wouldn’t get Sun Shangxiang - 1 out of every 100 people won’t get Sun Shangxiang by the 240th pull
- If 1 Million players each summoned
times, 10,013 of those players wouldn’t get Sun Shangxiang
More Insights & Reading
I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:
-

What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about "unfair pulls")
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.
