bottlegnomes Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 2 hours ago, Kurrin said: Is it? I haven't seen any numbers regarding the max pity rate for non-regular rates. If I'm doing the math correctly, the chance of me not getting a 5 star from a full pull at a 15% rate is around 45%, leaving about a 55% chance of getting one. The gap in the increase rates gets smaller and smaller as you go. Additionally, presuming Legendary banners follow the same rules as regular banners, the actual max pity rate before it bumps up to 100% is 22.5%, so as sad as it is, I was roughly only halfway to the 100% pity rig. How does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilodicMellodi Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I just got my Ephraim (as well as Summer!Gaius and Shiro, in the same summoning round no less). Unfortunately, he's +Res/-Atk. What do you guys think I should do with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, he's +Res/-Atk. What do you guys think I should do with him? It doesn't seem like it really changes him much. He might be mildly worse at what he does, but the atk bane is a grand total of 6 damage per round, which is mitigable enough with other factors, and the res boon doesn't up his enough to really effectively use Berkut's Lance from just glancing at his stats. Maybe just run the +atk seal to offset the bane? Then again, I don't have him, so I can't really speak on how things workout for him from experience and I have't run any numbers. Maybe focus a little more on an EP build rather than a DB3 PP build? Even then, still seems like PP would be better since he'd KO someone, and with the HB seal, activate Sol or Luna, since 55 with no boosts save DB3 is pretty good, to heal some or most of the damage he took from initiating and then let everyone else catch up.

If you hit the button that gives you the list of every character that can be pulled from the banner, it's detailed way at the bottom under the list. Failing to summon a 5-star character 120 times in a row will cause your next summon session to have a 100% 5-star rate for all 5 summons.

bottlegnomes Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) @Ice Dragon & @Hawk King Makes sense. Never stopped to think about it so I always figured it just added up until it hit 100 and they just said 120 because that's when the math works out, but actually thinking about it, even if it were 120 full session equivalents, 620 summons, that'd still only be 66% after 120 (if my math is right: 3% focus + 3% regular + 60% pity (120 * 0.5 per session distributed between focus and non)), and it does definitely say 120 summons, not anything to do with sessions.

Tsak Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 sheeet my gf pulled him! I'm salty... But atleast when i help her with challenges i can use him.

MilodicMellodi Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 So...as I'm typing this we have 8 hours left for the banner. Anyone here who wants Ephraim, be sure to do it today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I guess I'm going to have to wait to have an Ephraim that isn't -Atk. I tried to pull some more, but got another SCorrin instead (+HP-Res). Too bad he'll only ever be on the Legendary Banners, so I can't hope to get lucky and pull him off-focus. At least I now have one of each of the Legendary Heroes, so I'll be ready for whatever this new mode is. @Anacybele@DarkLordIvy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the worst, but it doesn't do anything good for him). Can't wait to use him and Freddy in that new mode since they're my most powerful duo right now!

On the plus side, I did pull another 4* Rachel. (She's -Atk, but I'm just going to merge her anyway.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad I still haven't pulled anymore Fredericks in forever. Though part of the reason for that is my horrible luck in getting greens to summon at all.

Selena4Lyfe Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Anyone else get two Summer Leo's instead of a Mia? Edited March 5, 2018 by Selena4Lyfe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I wanted to get Summer Leo and Legendary Ephraim Got a duplicate Legendary Ike with a shitty nature instead, as well as a summer Corrin with a shitty nature. But this continues a strange trend starting with Gunnthra -- where I get the legendary hero on the banner following their introduction. Perhaps I'll pull Ephraim in April.

SSbardock84 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Okay, I got my butt to work and did as many chain challenges that I thought I could do. Still, wasn't getting Ephraim. Then I was like, eh I'll just see if I have enough money and buy three orbs. So I did and I had 7, boom finally got Ephraim with that last try! So lucky, I'm so happy!

Baldrick Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 On my latest roll, I had one blue, three red and one colourless. I picked blue and Summer Corrin finally turned up! +atk -spd I finished off the session to make the most of the 10% pity rate and also got Summer Gaius. That's the third time I've got a colourless 5-star when I haven't been aiming for them. I guess Summer Emblem can be a thing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Dragon Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Decided to hold myself to my budget this time around. I feel proud of myself. 395 pulls. Started by pulling all colors, but gave up on colorless pretty quickly after realizing the Olivia I already had was [+Spd, -Res]: Ephraim: 3. With the first one coming on pull 283. Typical legendary banner bullshit. Shiro: 4. Corrin: 8. Wtf, game. Red Ike: 5. Mia: 2. Leo: 3. Green Ike: 3. Dorcas: 1. Gunnthra: 2. Both of them were [+Res, -Spd], which is the exact same nature as my current merge base. Seriously, game. Jaffar: 1. Total: 32, 8.1%. Rather below average. Bought one extra 75-orb pack at the end to clear out my pity rate. With 1 orb left, I got Ephraim [+Atk, -Spd]. Totally worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilas Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 @Ice Dragon wow, congrats on the +Atk/-Spd Ephraim. I've been seeing a lot of that nature in common for people who were lucky to get him, strangely enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mampfoid Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I had a strange luck on this banner. While I didn't get Ephraim (or a Corrin with better nature), I got six 5* units with a relatively low amount of orbs. Shiro: 4 Mia: 1 (only new Hero from that banner, +ATK/-DEF) Corrin (-SPD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk King Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 dang, this banner was not good to me. I ended up getting both Mia and Summer Leo in the same session so that is good, but through ~ 250 pulls my 5* rate was under 6%. I guess I got a lot of good fodder and some fodder units that I had run out of, but I have trouble clearing my barracks as it it... Goddammit IS let us pay you money to increase our barracks! 100 free spots for everyone and 300 more we need to use orbs for. 1 Ephraim - 0 Shiro - 1 Corrin 1 Ike - 1 Mia - 1 Leo 3 Gunnthra - 0 ike - 0 Dorcas 2 Gaius - 1 Olivia - 2 Jaffar Blues and greens were the colors I was most excited for. I wanted extra copies of all of them for merging except B!ike for more Steady Breath fodder but I got 0 of 3 of them, fml. At least I got my 1st Mia, Summer Leo, and Gaius. On the last legendary hero banner, my rate was over 10%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimagic Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Only a Summer Leo, when the only units I wanted were Blue. I should’ve just sniped for blue. Le sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunsurge Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Nothing this time. Well...I mean I got Summer Corrin, but honestly didn't have any orbs to really spend. Also got really unlucky with sniping blue. I got 4 different pulls with NO blue. Just red and colorless which was annoying and waste of 20 full orbs. I started the banner with 0 orbs after dropping all my orbs to get Hector and Grima!Robin and what not, and so maybe spent like 50-ish orbs total on the legendary banner. Didn't have enough time to farm orbs. Back to savingggg and keeping a stash for April, so I can finally get Ephraim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeruleanMage Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Notable pulls I got from this banner were: 2 Shiros, 3 Summer Corrins, 1 Dorcas, and 1 PA!Olivia. Not a bad haul though I did blow through all my orbs trying to get Ephraim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
