Self-control

Ha, I feel you on that one
I like building units up and just knowing that crazy CYL units are coming.

What I do is just "NOT" tap the summon menu at all.( and just collect the orbs and not bother with it)

Not summoning is hard, Summoning is like a drug actually once you've tried it's hard to not do it.

i just think of all the times i summon once or twice on a banner with like 20/40 orbs tops and get a bunch of 3 stars and ask myself if those times were really worth it.

i figure i'd have a better chance of getting at least something, maybe even a hero i want, if i focus 10 full summons on a banner i like than if i were to just summon here and there just because i get the itch to.

Before you summon, always remember why you save orbs. Think about the ones you store orbs for, not the ones on the current banners. Even if the thought of getting them may be intriguing, the desire for the hero/heroes you truly want should overcome your desire of summoning.

Whenever you have the urge to summon, just go and play a different game for a while, or watch a video. Or read a book. Just do anything to take your mind off of summoning.
When you come back to the game, just avoid the summoning menu. It takes a lot of self control, but it is worth it.

I limit myself to 1 5* a banner when I do decide to summon. Even that takes about 80 orbs. I just remember all the times where I thought
'My luck has been good so far. I'll just summon for 1 more 5*'
and then I spend 160 orbs to get one.

when i spend orbs then recoup them again i'm annoyed because i already HAD x orbs. the orb counter must always go up.

I have to admit that im pretty bad at self control. Only if the banners are uninteresting then i dont summon on them. But most of the times the banners are pretty interesting. I´ve never had 200 orbs in this game and im playing this game since one month after its beginning.

When Legendary Banner starts, i just summon with the orbs i get during that time. Most of the times i can summon 3-4 times, it depends on current events etc.

I think the secret is, that im actually pretty lucky. I mostly get 5 star units, sometimes the ones i want some other times not, but since i like most units of the game its no big deal.

I also summon everything all the time, i dont snipe for a particular color, beceause you can always get something else which can be useful too. Most units i get if we dont talk about legendary banners, are non focus 5 star units who are pretty good since IS has changed the rarity of most units.

So, i actually cant give you an advice how to save orbs. The only advice i gan give is, to just take what you can get. If you dont get the prefered unit you want, you maybe get another unit who is also on 5 stars and pretty useful too.

I know that feeling all too well.

When it comes to self control, I'm pretty bad at it myself. So I often urge myself to play other games that is just as equally as entertaining as Heroes.

For me, I often find myself playing one of my favorite JRPG that is also an MMO. Another game I play is Smash for Wii U and often play it with my friends online.

But in short, don't just limit yourself to just Heroes. Find some other games to play and come back to Heroes daily for Orbs and other goods.

I have been saving all my orbs for the legendary banner each month. Any new banner I just quickly do the free summon ASAP then back out. That way I’m not tempted to summon at any other point.

It's not easy, you just have to come to a point where you realize that you can live without the current focus units featured on banners. Maybe focus your time in game to building up more units instead of focusing on what's new

Quite easy for me, i always ask myself questions like "do i like that character enought to spend those orbs?","will that character end up collecting dust in my barracs?","do i really need to summon that character?", based on the answers of those question is decide if i will summon or not.
Also my previous experience helped my keep my hands down from summoning as i spent around 500€ for this game last year, while this year a have yet to touch my bank account for this game (as a university student it isn't easy to gain money).

Well first of all, orbs comes kinda fast once you stop summonning everyday.
Like I had 0 orbs 1 month ago, I'm at 300 right now.

I used to summon everytime but then I never really got what I wanted, and on most banner I would not even get a 5* which is super frustrating.

The best wait to stop myself from summonning was to take a bit of distance from the game for a while.
For a few weeks I would just log in for the orbs and do a few quests and that was it.
Then when I came back really to the game, I had so many orbs it felt really

And I realized, summonning is kind of an addiction, but saving orbs also feels great because you know you have this power in your hand and you can just go all in the day there is something you REALLY want.

Also try not to get baited too hard. IS ALWAYS release new cool heros / skills and they tend to make you feel that you NEED them.

Don't drink and summon. My walls of control crumble if I have a few beers. Then again I did pull five 5-stars last night on less than 100 orbs so sometimes it works out.

I'm storing, today, 50 days without spent any orbs... I'm right now 527.

Hint: Keep focus in your most favorite characters. It's horrible pull everyday with useless hero's in the most of time...
