Who Should You Pull From The Free 5 Star Summons?

CYL 8 - In Those We Hope

Pull for your favorite unit!

The annual Choose Your Legends banners have returned, and all four units on this banner are quite good at the minimum.

If any of these heroes are among your favorites, we recommend summoning for them here, or using the Free Summon to immediately acquire them.

If none of these units are among your favorites, and/or you prefer summoning for in-game performance, we recommend summoning for Brave Felix.

Brave Felix is a great free summon that can perform well on both player and enemy phase. His ability to act up to three times in one turn is perfect for player phase strategies, especially with Lone Wolf allowing him ignore traps by stepping on a trap in Aether Raids to trigger it and still act afterwards. He is also deceptively bulky with his base kit, allowing him to also carry his weight on enemy phase.

CYL 7 - Turn of Fate

Brave Corrin (F) [9.5/10]

Brave Soren [9.5/10]

Brave Gullveig [9.5/10]

Brave Robin (M) [9.5/10]

Pull for your favorite unit!

Every unit on this banner is powerful and has a new effect given to them that sets them apart from their competition.

Brave Corrin (F) and Brave Gullveig introduce their own respective【Divine Vein】 terrain effects into the game, with Brave Corrin (F) having the defensive 【Divine Vein (Stone)】 and Brave Gullveig having the offensive 【Divine Vein (Flame)】 effects respectively.

Brave Soren introduces the 【Assign Decoy】 status effect which provides the Savior effect to allies, and Brave Robin (M) introduces the 【Rally Spectrum】 status effect which provides bonus stats and Special charges pre-combat to himself and his allies.

The unit we recommend you select depends on your playstyle and your current barracks. Defensive players who rely on tanking strategies might prefer Brave Corrin (F) or Brave Soren, while offensive players might prefer Brave Gullveig or Brave Robin (M).

Regardless of our recommendation, if you have a favorite hero among the heroes here, just obtain them for free using the free summon.

If none of these units are among your favorites, we recommend you save your free summon until the time when you need it comes.

Free 5 Star Summon Guidelines

List Tips and Guidelines

Pull from the Free 5★ Summon after you have pulled from the normal banner. That way, you are able to get what you still need from the things the gacha system did not provide you with. If you are Rerolling, pull from the Free 5★ Summon after you have Rerolled. This way, you save time as pulls from Free Summons are always guaranteed. All units acquired from Free 5★ Summons will always have neutral IVs. This can be changed through the use of Trait Fruits. Once you enter the Free Summoning Session, you cannot go back until you have chosen a character. Once Summoned, you cannot re-select a hero. You can only get one Free hero from each banner.

These tips and guidelines make your first few pulling sessions worth it. Most of the time, getting multiple Brave heroes instead of multiple copies of 1 Brave hero is better for a starting player so we urge people to pull first from the non-guaranteed sessions before the guaranteed session.

Choose a Favorite Brave Hero

Choose Your Legends (CYL) Banners are held every mid-year, and players are gifted one of the 4 heroes of their choice. For new players, they can choose 1 hero from each of the the 2 most recent Brave banners. Since Brave heroes are usually very powerful and can be the cornerstone of a good team, a player should strategically pick their Brave heroes.
