9200 gem summons! To XII Braves/RNGesus, I am watching you.

I decided to do this video 7 days after the snowman event had begun. By then I had already done nine 10X 3*-5* Hero draws(3600 gems) and not gotten a single Ronan. I was appalled and dismayed at the "increased chance at summoning" rate for the new hero so I decided to do one 10X 3*-5* Hero draw daily(as can be seen from the quest completion sign after every draw), in the hopes of finding out what the percentage chance is of drawing the event hero. I understand my current sample size is a mere 140 draws but I hope to continue doing this every event daily till I hit 1000 draws so stay tuned.

Total Tally from video(not inclusive of the first 7 days of the event)
Gems Spent: 5600
5*: 0
Potential 5*: 15  
4*: 24
3*: 116
Teresa: 3
Ronan: 3

Based on just the above statistics, we can derive that there is around a 2% chance of drawing the new event hero.

However, if you consider the first 9 other 400 gem draws in which I did not draw a single Ronan, the total gem tally would be 9200 and the percentage chance would now be a meager 1.3%. Truth be told, on the 10th day of the event, I drew a Ronan from a 2*-4* Ticket. I am ending this event with 4 Ronan's in my pocket. I would say I am satisfied. However, the rates remain dismal. So for those of you out there with perhaps 1.9K gems, my suggestion is if you do not need that hero, do not summon attempt to summon it as you might not even get it in the end. Save it for when you do require the hero.

The next part is solely dedicated to the parties mentioned in the title.

To XII Braves, I understand that from time to time, we do have our differences and I did once even say that you should give Prestige 15 incentives to purchase your bundles as they(me) no longer gain prestige points and thus have lost some of that urge to splurge on the game. Perhaps the absurd rates are your way of punishing me and making me purchase gems. Well, you won :( I recently purchased all the event bundles(including the job key ones) so please give me back the lucky rates. Till date, despite spending quite a huge sum on the game, I have yet to draw a valiant hero from any ticket(other than the first draw at the beginning of the game and valiant tickets of course). My brother drew a Kane in his 2nd 10X Hero draw. Therefore, I hope you read this and bless me with your almighty powers. To quote you "Be Valiant, Play Fair"

In case this is not the workings of an XII Braves conspiracy, I would like to ask if anyone has a lucky ritual they do before summoning that can appease RNGesus. If so, please share and we can all prosper together  :lol:

To that one single person, who disliked two of my most recent videos, please at least give me constructive feedback on how I could improve them.

I have also added music and sped up the summoning video plus included annotations that can be seen even from mobile devices to this latest video. If you found this to be helpful, please leave a Like and Subscribe to the channel. Thanks!

IMO that is RNG at work. I have gotten 3 Ronan and 1 Theresa out of 6 10x draws. I also got another Theresa from a 3* hero ticket in the market.

I've done 10 or so 10x pulls across the Faye, Miu and Ronan events in the last 7 weeks (almost 2 months) so far. And I'm VERY disappointed that I've not gotten a single Faye, Miu or Ronan during their respective events. Not even from any of the 2-4* or 3-5* tickets from the Marketplace and other places.

Needless to say, there is no incentive to spend money buying gems at all, because the chance is just too low.

Saw this, then saw the patch notes.
5. New game currency: Valianite
 
This new currency can only be obtained from 10x hero summon or 10x equipment summon. Please note that this applies to gem summoning only.
 
For gem hero summon,
 
- if a player gets at least 1x 5* potential hero (hero can be 3*, 4*, or 5*) from 10x hero summon, he or she gets 2 Valianite.
- if a player gets no hero with 5* potential from 10x hero summon, he or she gets 3 Valianite.
 
For gem equipment summon, player gets 1 Valianite for each 10x equipment summon
 
Valianite can be used to trade for different items in the new Valianite shop. This new currency can also be used to reforge equipment.
 
6. New Valianite shop
 
Players can use Valianite (new game currency) to trade for different items here.

9200 gems is a lot..
Maybe system have rush detection, more summon meaning less rate..
I'm just guessing..

Actually I've only do 1x premium summon but only trash inside..
Another day I try solo summon 5x times, I've got Ronan Athena and Kai Ares..

Perhaps it is so. That is why I will continue collecting data by opening and recording my daily 10X 3*-5* Hero summons. With a large enough sample size, RNG plays a very small role and hopefully the real figure will present itself.

I do hope that the chances of pulling a new event hero will increase from the Lunar Event onward. Looks like bad luck has plagued the both of us.  :(

Hi, I did not open all 9200 gems worth of summons one shot. Rather, I did one every single day and recorded it over 14 days.
