Note: The rankings showed here are the Reroll Ratings. The units' overall ratings, including Inherit Skill, may differ.
Pull for Shinon!
Shinon is a high-powered colorless bow unit that possesses a special that counters damage reduction skills. His special coupled with his powerful bow, makes him a threat to many units. He also has access to Close Counter through his weapon if he is not adjacent to allies.
Jill is also a strong unit!
Jill is another unit that packs a punch in this banner. She has solid offensive stats and a bunch of tools to create a surplus in Atk/Spd between her and the enemy. This allows her to score hard-hitting follow-up attacks that will cripple the enemy. Her weapon is an upgraded Slaying Axe+ that gives out more offensive effects.
Ilyana is available at a 4 Star Rarity
This banner's 4 Star Summon is Ilyana. In addition to her 5 Star appearance rate, her 4 Star version has a 3% appearance rate, making it pretty easy to pull her. If you really want this unit, you can just shoot for a 4 Star version and then unlock her potential to make her a 5 star.
Should You Pull From This Summon?
Spend your orbs here!
We recommend that you pull from Despair and Hope. Shinon and Jill are very strong units with solid skillsets that can either be utilized in battle or fodderred off to other units. The same can be said for the other heroes in this banner. If you do not want to use these focus units into battle, you can just use them as inheritance material for your other units.
Banners coming up!
There will be a Mythic Heroes banner at the end of the month and a special heroes banner early next month. Keep these in mind before deciding to dump all of your orbs into this banner.
Orbs required for the free 5★ unit
| 5 Pulls each Summoning Session (Free Initial Pull) Most Efficient | 75 Orbs for 25 Pulls + 60 Orbs for 15 Pulls = 135 Orbs for 40 Pulls |
|---|---|
| 5 Pulls each Summoning Session | 20 Orbs/ 5 Pulls X 7 Summoning Sessions = 140 Orbs |
| 1 Pull per Summoning Session | 5 Orbs x 35 Sessions = 175 Orbs |
If you want to get the free 5 star unit with as less orbs as possible, we recommend using the free summon then using up 15 orbs to summon all the heroes from that session and doing the same thing with the free summoning tickets. This way, you are able to pull 25 heroes for only 75 orbs versus the normal 100. For the remaining 15 pulls, you can pull 5 times per session. Using this method, you only need 135 orbs for the free 5 star summon.
Pull if you want their skills
All of the focus heroes from this summon have rather useful skills that you may want another unit to inherit. See the list below for the most useful skills from this batch of units.
