They're actually quite good, it's just that some people are unlucky and others don't know what they're for. If you're going for a specific unit, it's not turning out so well for you. In fact, the chance of getting a specific unit on this banner is LESS than getting them in a normal focus banner.

At first i only summoned the Green orbs trying to get L!lyn, but when the Pity hit 9.50% i summoned all the Stones i could Trying to get at least 1 5* out of it. As you can see, i'm still waiting

As a fellow F2P-er, I feel you. But don't let a string of bad luck cloud your judgment. If you had spent those orbs on any other banner, you still could have been just as unluckly. Remember to stay objective, the curse of F2P is that you only play what the gacha gives you. And sometimes that's not much. You aren't promised the luxury of having the latest greatest thing.

I have walked out of several banners with pity rates around that high, and it sucks, but 8% for a 5* (with a guaranteed 5 orb focus spread) is still better than 6% for a 5* (assuming your spread contains only focus orbs).

Dude....thats only 120 orbs or a 4.5 on a regular banner.

Remember that an 11% is basically a 5.5%/5.5%.....so not high enrough to escape rng.

Like literaly just spendt less than 40 orbs for a Lrobin and more than 160 for a ryoma.....its all a matter of luck. Bate baners do indeed up ur chance but not by much.....

yeah, i've thought that way myself before previous legendary banner. Yet i summoned on the previous one and this one.
Those legendary banners aren't that good compared to ordinary banners, but in case you will need any seasonal unit from the past (H!Nowi, H!Henry, W!Tharja, LA!Lyn, PA! Olivia, Shigure Inigo and Azura) whose contribution to the team is unparalleled, you will be forced to summoning to get them.

Give the Legendary Banners a chance. They're not that bad.
I had about 360 orbs before the banner started.
120 orbs in, I got 2 5*s.
Then the rest of the orbs went in... 240 orbs... for a +HP -Spd Inigo...
But I decided to summon again today with 60 orbs... and got 2 5*s out of it, including Legendary Lyn.
RNG is crazy, sometimes you just get unlucky. My pity rate was 12.5%, higher than yours.

I actually had a similar experience with the prior legendary Banner. I save my orbs for these events because the percentage of getting anything at all is higher. I try not to be too picky but yeah, The wrong five star has definitely left a sour taste in my mouth before.

Anyway, last legendary Banner, the Flop was four greens and one colorless. I kid you not: every single green orb was a three-star bartre. Every. Single. One. The last one was a totally forgettable 4-star unit, a clarine or something maybe. I shared a screenshot with my buddies and they joked that I had pulled a 12-star bartre who was going to carry me to the top of the arena. 12 star bartre coming to wreck your s***!

EDIT: for clarity I did eventually get a 5* unit. Not the one I wanted. Maybe the one I deserved.

I normally have bad luck in the most of banners but this time I summlned 2 gennys 1 legendary lyn, 1 halloween jakob 1 halloween henry and 1 legendary robin in 140 orbs only, this is the rng sometimes a lot of heroes sonetimes anyone.
I spend about 200 orbs in the second tana's banner and finally I pulled a mist... you will have luck in other banners, im sure.

Last Legendary banner i dumped 250+ orbs and managed to get a 13% pity rate... I stayed all night farming orbs from chain challenges and summoning until the banner ended... looking at the bright side the 4* units that you got might be useful one day. I was too obsessed with 5* back then that I didn't realised I summoned 6 Soleil from that banner alone :)

It happens. The first time the Legendary banner was released, I spent 160 orbs, went for every color, and only got a Deirdre (though with one of the best IVs of +Res / -Def). Ended up with a 11% or 12% pity rate by the end that I couldn't clear. Though, that still doesn't stop me from summoning on these B8% banners. Not having to worry for off-focus units is great, and these banners really shine if you want at least 2/3 units for at least one of the 4 colors.

I'm pretty sure that your luck will turn around in the future. :)
