Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you aren't. Your 'calculations' are still based on rng Which question are you answering with that? F2P can only strictly stay with 500 pull each week since the weekly gem income can only sustain that.

So only do it if you have the unit, or you plan to whale until you get the unit since it will still be cheaper then a selector if you only want that single particular unit(by going until step7) by using the 150unit shard to transmute if the shard EV stay the same and cost is 1000gem or less.Īs for your question of to pull on vier or not, I say it is worth it if you do buy pacts. Obviously the 0.5% unit rate is worse then the standard feature of 1% unit rate(well jp did go down to 0.5% eventually but that is something further down the line). I'd only pull if I had the unit and it was something I wanted for Kaigan Actually after that zain banner, gumi did it for many other units too, including roxanne, just that the banner lasted for a day only, once again reinforcing the idea that gumi is trying to keep players from being able to just dip into the 500gem step 1.

It is anybody guess as per usual, but I think gumi figure that the 500/1500 setup(avg out to be 1000 each step) was too good to be true and remove the choice of simply doing it once for 500 by simply offering the current 1step 1000gem that you saw. So technically it was a single 500 pull, followed by 'unlimited' 1000 pull after you average out the cost of hitting step2 to access the 500 step1 again. Reason I call it 500gem 1pull/day was because I am focusing on the cost of 500. That particular zain banner was actually a 2step unlimited setup with step1 500 and step2 1500(it lasted at least 7days iirc, so if you dont keep repeat the 2step, you can see it as 500 1pull/day for 7days). My biggest thought is how often Vier will pop up for 500 gems (assuming once only), or if I should just go for 1000 gems unlimited. Make sure to double check the rate when you hear other ppl talking about this kind of banner is good in case gumi adjusted the figure and reduced the EV of shard yield) So for this kind of banner, 3 things to look out for.Īvailability(Unlimited like the current neica one is the best duh) Jp had melodius banner being exactly the same setup, but it cost 2500gem per pull(so 2.5x as expensive) That said, the banner design is good, but the cost ALSO need to be cheap(since we are going by shard/gem). Not sure if you actually know about the 500gem 1pull/day(not unlimited, but as long as it return very frequently, it is close enough) zain banner where it actually allowed player to stock up quite a large amount of his shard for kaigan if they want to invest on zain. Many already figure out that this variant of 'focus banner' is worth it when it comes to acquiring unit shards. Does it suddenly mean player has 70% as opposed to 10% to get a roxxane? Nope.Īnyway I digress. For example, roxxane as she is now, with gumi designating her as a 3star(and therefore in the 70% pool) instead of 5star but still keeping her 1% pull rate as featured banner unit. And basically what I am trying to tell everybody previously when I said you don't 'evaluate' whether 10% combined 5star unit rate is good or bad(combined rate is irrelevant) since it is the individual unit rate that matters. If it was a different unit, like Uzuma, Vier or Roxanne, would it be worth it? So I think the mode average will be 10 shards.Įdit: I feel people are reading this with a focus on Cadanova. Including summon coins! (It's just I don't want/have Cadanova.)Ī word of warning though, most of the shards is from the very first summon, the guaranteed slot. Huh, this is really good value isn't it? Am I seeing things? Considering that straight up buying them is 50 shards for 4000 gems at the moment. One minus that is your chance of pulling him. So that's your overall chance of not pulling him. You don't pull him in each summon, so that's 0.995*0.995*0.995… ten times. If you have the unit, the mean number of shards is: 20.4 shards / 1000 gemsīreakdown: Chance of not pulling Cadanova in one of the 10 summons is 1-0.005=0.995.If you do not have X unit, the chance of pulling that unit is: 4.89%.If the banner changes, please check to see if the probabilities match up before you pull. I'm assuming the probabilities are the same. Yesterdays was Neica, today's is Cadanova. Seems like this 48 hr limit break summon thing is a thing now.
