Bummed out by summoning session

I burned out 420 orb and got s! Linde and S!Takumi both +hp-atk, and got pitybroken twice by neutral ninian, and +atk-res ishtar, and now the pity rate is stuck at 6.5% , and still no sign of summer young tiki, which i want for his breath, and dragon valor. No nore orbs can be get anymore from any story or campaign, which is brutal for upcoming legendary, still hoping to be pitybroken by s.y.tiki or even anything by now.

Sorry to hear about your pulls. Hopefully Tiki comes home for your once some daily orbs come in.

In the future, I would suggest sniping reds exclusively if you're really just gunning for Tiki, especially with such a large orb supply.

I don't summon on regular banners.
Only on legendary banners.

Because, even if the units are great (like this summer young tiki or this 35/35 flying archer), i know that i will get them few months after in a legendary banner way easily.

And like you said, i don't like to be pitybroken.

Legendary banners are definitely not less risky to summon on when compared to regular ones. Even with a limited hero collection, you will rarely want all 3 units from a specific color, so getting an unwanted unit from said color can still hapen, even though it's a focus unit.

Also, the possibility of getting nothing even after spending tons of orbs exists in legendary banners as well. The 8 % focus rate is just a flashy number, nothing else.

Legendary banners are much less risky. Because you know you'll get a good unit even if you don't get the one you want. And that 8% vs 6% difference is huge. I forgot the answer but I did the math once and I think it was every 8th pull vs every 11th pull. You can say it's just numbers, but it's numbers that will decide whether or not you will get someone good.

I get the reasoning and the statistical implications, but I personally don't really like bringing too much maths into gacha games. It's like trying to compare the outcome of two different slot machines- One might have less ways of screwing you over than the other, but you will get screwed nevertheless and sometimes even more when playing on the 'safer' slot machine. Statistics can't really control luck.

The one definite advantage that legendary banners have is that you have a set number of heroes that you can get from a certain color. That is a nice thing and I get why it draws people towards those banners.

I know the chances aren't amazing regardless, but I'd just like to make sure everyone is aware of the chances of getting the best results.

This is my exact mentality for pretty much every banner. Hell we already had the Valentines units on banners and its only been 4/5 months.

Except I'm pretty sure Alm isn't going to be on a legendary banner so I'd go all in for that one.

Sucks that you haven't gotten the unit you wanted, but 5 5*s with 420 orbs is a really good outcome.

I'm pretty sure it's a 30 day banner, so just save up with tempest trials and any thing else that comes out and you can try again. When you go again, try to just summon for reds and only summon when you have 20 orbs in case you end up with a full circle of red orbs or something, good luck!
