Ridiculous banner

Hi,
So I've been summoning on the new legendary hero banner since it came out, I've spent nonstop orbs on it, did every quest I could, every map I could, I even spent 30 euros because I was so desperate for ANY 5 star. Since the time I started I've gotten 0 5 stars from the banner and It's already on 11.50% and will be ending today. This is the most ridiculous experience on a banner I've ever had. I even summoned EVERY colour orb, that's how little I care for what unit it even is, I just want ANY unit instead of knowing I wasted money and orbs on nothing! Now I'm stuck with 3 orbs and no quests or maps I can do to get more.

Ouch. I was up to 10.5% dreading precisely this. I'm too new to have this happen to me, but I'm sure I cannot avoid it sooner or later without starting on 200+ orbs. I'll let others speak

Report

yea, I've had badluck before but never this badly where I can't even get ANY 5 star, usually I would just get someone I didn't want or bad iv's, not just nothing at all.

Report

Damn, that's insane... Well if you're not willing to lose that 11,5%, you'll probably have to put some more euros in it. But it is really worth it? If you're not aiming for a particular color or hero, what's the point in summoning?

Report

I was actually aiming for the new legendary hero Ryoma, however I got so desperate I just wanted to not let the 11.50% go to waste and I just wouldn't mind any, however I've kept summoning red all this time and it brought me all the way to 11.50%

Report

Yeah same happened to me, I was at 10,5% today so had to spend 30 euros to finally get something. First and last time I ever spent on F.E. Good luck to you!

Report

thank u! Sadly I spent 45 bucks in total and still got nothing. Atleast I know that spending money isn't worth it anymore! Glad u got something in the end~

Report

It happened to me once. I went and complete all the chain challenges and I even broke my F2P code for this but failed to get any 5* until it ended. All I can say is don't dwell on it too much. 12%? Just 4% more likely to get 5* than normal anyway, not worth spending even more money unless you plan to whale on he game.

Report

Holy crap that's unlucky. That's easily the closest I've seen to someone getting the 12% rate. If you get around 37 more orbs and then do a full summon without any 5*, I think you're supposed to be guaranteed 5* for every orb on the next round.

I would donate orbs or money if I could since I feel so bad for you and honestly partly because I want to see the 12% rate thibg happen.

Report

There's nothing more you can do now if you're FTP. Just wait for the next L. Banner and use/ save your orbs responsibly.

Same thing happened to me up to 10.5%, so I ended up breaking down, spending a few bucks, and immediately summoned Robin and Hardin. I don’t know how I feel about being rewarded like that for breaking my f2p code.

Report

We all break it eventually and they know it, it's just a matter of time. Just don't make a career out of it. I bought the starters pack when it came out and 3 more times. Nowadays I avoid it completely cause my chances dropped when I bought orbs.

Report

I had spend money only once before, to get that beginners packet because it wasn't alot, however after it reached 10.5% i also broke down and bought 23 orbs, did nothing, then I did maps and then spent money for 3 orbs and got nothing, then maps then again 23 orbs, and it just keeps rising. Sadly this time the orbs didn't help, the beginner packet orbs also gave me units after a high % which is why I had hope that the orbs would work, glad they atleast worked for u, i hate breaking f2p code however if I atleast getting SOMETHING I know it wasn't 100% wasted, sadly mine was 100% wasted.

Report

I myself had 12% on some prevous legendary bannera, and saw people that had worst.

In my experience best things to do is stop summon when you see that you have bad luck, and try another day. iS algorithm give me days when i spend over 100 orbs for nothing, and another time give me few 5* after spending 40-60 orbs, and this hidden odds change every 24h.

Report

I agree that there has to be some underlying algorithm (notice that you start to pull the same hero over and over?) but what makes you think that this changes every 24th? Just curious..

Report

Yea i usually get 5 stars after 40-60 orbs, rarely I get some after around 100 orbs however 200+ and nothing has never happend so I tried to have hope. Guess the algorithm is even more messy then I thought.

Report

It's not worth it,I decided to give up on legendary banners permanently.The last 3 I have gotten nothing I wanted and it feels like a waste of orbs vs summoning on 3% banners.

Report

yea legendary banners have ridiculous luck, however not getting anything has never happend before, especially with such insane high %, I'll just stop for now and if I want some units will return someday eventually so yea, legendary isn't worth it many times.

Hey man. I'm sorry about this. People say this games runs on random numbers but I really doubt it. This happened to me 2 times already. I spent money, made quests and summoned hard to get nothing. When I see it coming I just stop and let it go. On the fallen heroes banner I must have used about 130 orbs to zero 5 stars. It happens, really. BUT there are times when you are EXTREMELY "LUCKY" to summon 2, 3 5 stars in one session and to get them with 20-30 orbs. Last legendary banner, for example, I've summoned 4 5 stars, and before that Lucina as a free pull and so on.
My point is this really happens, it sucks but if you manage to anticipate and just let go there will be times when you get a lot of units even if you don't want to. As for me it seems I'll get nothing from bridal banner since I've spent about 69 orbs on it and nothing. I'll probably try some more and then just let it go.
Remember, in the end newer units will always be more powerful and anything you've missed will have a stronger version later in the game.

Report

Yea that's true, I've let it go for now and am planning to just hope some of the 4 stars and 3 stars I got are good IV's, since there are a few units I've been wanting to 5 star but haven't found perfect Iv's yet, however it's seriously frustrating when you can't even get 1 5 star after that many orbs and even money, atleast now I know not to spend money anymore even if the banner sucked all my orbs lol~

Update. I spent ANOTHER 14 bucks, thinking I must be getting A 5 star at 12%!! 12.5% it is~ I give up, I will just never spend a coin on this game again cause this is ridiculous. I hope nobody else experiences this, cause anyone who did break their f2p code and went insane like me, knows that this is the shittiest feeling. I've now spent, 44.30 euros and it wasn't worth any of it, I will try to stay positive and hope I got good IV's on some 4 stars to build them, however this is the biggest regret I will have for a long time! PLEASE DON'T BE STUPID LIKE ME PEOPLE.

Report

Huh, weird. I thought you were supposed to get a guaranteed 5* after 12% or am I just dumb?

I feel so sorry for you. Did you snipe for specific color or did full summon all the time?

Report

The guaranteed 5* is after 120 non-5 star units in a row, which would give you +12% pity rate. So on a legendary banner that starts at 8%, that would be at 20%.

Report

i was sniping for red, but the last sessions i just did all colours so this is sad, but atleast i got a perfect IV 4 star nowi in the midst of it, so yea~
