Rare Summon
Even though it's called a rare summon, the game itself revolves around getting strong rare summon units to defeat stronger foes.
Whenever there are more than one featured unit of the same rarity, the chance is split evenly among them. Off-banner units are also split evenly among remaining non-featured units.
While rare summon units have several rarities available for awakening, their base rarities differs from one to another. Rare summon unit can only be summoned from their base rarities. For example, if you happen to summon a 5 unit from a rainbow crystal, that unit will be a base 5.
Below are the chances to pull rare summon unit of each rarities. You can check more detailed summon rate in-game on the summon menu, click on "Drop Rates" button and then click another "Drop Rates" button.
Rare Summon Rate | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Rarity | Crystal | Featured Unit | Off-banner Unit | Total |
3 | Blue | 19.5% | 25.5% | 45% |
4 | Gold | 4.75% | 40.25% | 45% |
5 | Rainbow | 1.5% | 6.5% | 8% |
Orange | 1% | 1% | 2% |
4★+ Guaranteed Summon
You can increase the summoning rate by using a multi-summon for 5,000 or by using a Guaranteed Ticket (4★/5★/NV), given from various event and promotion. In case of the multi-summon, only the first summon has an increased rate, while the rest are using the rate seen above.
Guaranteed Summon Rate | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Rarity | Crystal | Featured Unit | Off-banner Unit | Total |
4 | Gold | 47.5% | 42.5% | 90% |
5 | Rainbow | 3.75% | 4.25% | 8% |
Orange | 1% | 1% | 2% |
Crystal Upgrade
Crystal might upgrade to a higher rarity during summoning. However, this is just a cosmetic, and does not impact the summoning rate at all. Even before cracking the crystal open, the game has already determined which unit has been summoned.
There is a difference in animation when a gold crystal will upgrade into a rainbow crystal. The amount of rays emitted from the crystal before breaking are much less, about half of the usual amount, not enough to cover most of the screen.
This difference is only applicable to gold crystal upgrade, and there is no discernible sign when a blue crystal will upgrade. A faster crystal breaking animation is played when a blue crystal upgrades.
Upgrade Chances Per Rarity | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Rarity | Crystal | Chance | ||
4 | Gold | 75% | ||
4 | Blue > Gold | 25% | ||
5 | Rainbow | 70% | ||
5 | Gold > Rainbow | 20% | ||
5 | Blue > Gold > Rainbow | 10% |
