Has IS always given out this many orbs? in 3 months I've gotten over 1000.

So on Feb 9th I decided to stop using orbs on every banner and just wait for the next Hero Fest banner. (*I ended up spending 150 on a legendary banner) but even with that one slip I am currently at 960 orbs. So essentially in 3 months IS has given us around 1,100 orbs. That's far more than I expected, I thought it would take me a lot longer to reach 1,000.

Does anyone know around how much longer before the next Hero Fest Banner?

Yeah, they are given a lot of orbs recently, but at the same time, more units have been added in the pools, so its more hard to get what you want.

Idk, about Hero fest =\

The problem is that after get one Mist, she could appear any time as a pitybreaker when pulling for colorless, so she will always be haunting...

Ye the orb powercreep is always mysteriously swept under the rug in favor of clamoring against bst and weapon powercreep.....(we had new years, aniversary, and now golden week.....happy times are expexted to come to an end :/)

Well, now that the Legendary banners are coming every month, hero fests may not ever happen again. Legendary banners are better than hero fests in every way as they have an 8% chance as opposed to 5%, have no 'pity breaker' non-focus 5 star units, and have 12 heroes instead of 4. I don't think hero fest is something IS is interested in doing anymore, and I'm ok with that. Also, IS has been getting much more generous with orbs lately, but if you spend them as soon as you get them (Like IS expects you to) you still can get a lot, but its better to save for something you want.

Tsk.....

First of all...Hero fest and b8 baners serve different purposes. Hero fest is THE best way to get multiples of the unit/fodder you want. B8s are for getting seasonals and no RANDOM pity breakers.

Hero fest has 8% total. 5% from focus and 3% from random. So they are the same on the surface level. If you dig deep into the math, that 5% is not that bad for geting the focus unit and the 3% pity breakers dont matter much

I agree, they serve very different purposes. 8% with every hero available is a lot better than 8% of just the legendary banner heros. Just run simulations on both a legendary banner and a hero fest banner and throw in 1000 orbs and see how many 5*s you get. It'll be obvious which one gives you more.

After far fetched heroes IS give us around 200~210 orb per month, with exception on febuary and april 2018. Every month we have, guaranteed:

Monthly Quest: 22
Arena: 16
New Heroes: 20 +13 (Celebration Log in Bonus)
Tempest Trials: 42 +13 (Celebration Log in Bonus)
Another randow Celebration log in Bonus: 13
Grand Conquest/ Voting: ~ 12 orbs (if they appear in same month, 25)
Bound Hero Battle: 9
Three types of quests (3 heroes, movement type, legendary): ~18
Blessed Garden: 5 or 10
Rival Domains: 4
Tap Battle: 15

And some surprises around the month.

About hero fest, i think will be launched later this month but i can be wrong, or wait for another 3 month's...

That is some serious follow up, congrats man.
Nobody's been talking about choose your legends anymore right? I think this will be their big surprise coming up.
And yeah, I've been playing since launch and recently they've became extremely generous and new heroes are been introduced twice the rate they did before.

Report

Thanks to the compliment! When the game was launched make orbs without money was terrible, the maximum of orbs per month was 70 in most optimistic scenario.
I think the CYL2 will come in september along with surprise too.

no, there have been a slew of stuff happening this time of year so we got lucky. First off the anniversary happened, valentines happened, they introduced four new gamemodes for the first time in almost a year, golden week happened, and easter happened. Usually there are fairly big downtimes between events but hopefully with their recent activeness they are trying to be more proactive and update the game a lot more often than before.
