Introduction

Hello Commanders!

We’ve revamped our Premium and Standard banners to make your summoning experience more fair, transparent, and engaging. From updated drop rates and streakbreakers to wishlist functionality and new currencies, these changes aim to put more control in your hands. Below, you’ll find the revised probabilities, featured behaviors, and newly introduced Summon Coins/Echoes system.

Premium Banner

Drop Categories & Rates

‍

Premium Banner Pool

Below is the full list of Guardians in the Premium Banner, separated by category (Gen1 Featured, Core1 Legendary, Core1 Epic, etc.). Each week, one Gen1 Legendary is removed from the general Gen1 Legendary pool and placed into the Featured slot:

(Note: Some entries may be placeholders if the table doesn’t list them explicitly. “1 Gen1 Guardian” indicates the weekly featured slot.)

Standard Banner

Drop Categories & Rates

‍

Standard Banner Pool

Each week, one Core1 Legendary Guardian is taken from the general pool and placed in the Featured slot. Below is the complete set of possible Guardians in each category:

(Note: Some lines may be placeholders. “1 Core1 Guardian” indicates the weekly featured slot in Standard Banner.)

‍

Items & Sub-Gacha

If your drop lands on “Item,” a sub-gacha determines the final reward:

‍

Streakbreaker Behavior

• Streakbreaker means that if you haven’t pulled the Featured guardian type within the designated number of attempts for that type’s streakbreaker, then you are guaranteed to get it on the final pull (ex. 60th, 20th, 10th, for Featured, Core 1 Legendaries, and Gen 1 Epics respectively).
• Streakbreaker is unique to each for a category
• ‘-1’ streakbreaker means no streakbreaker, it means no guarantee

Streakbreaker reset when banner changes

V1

Streakbreaker will reset whenever banner changes

‍

V2 (Post Launch)

Streakbreaker will be preserved when changing from default banner to default banner

Streakbreaker will be set to 0 when a “new guardian” banner is introduced. This will only happen when a new guardian is released and is featuring. It will preserve after the banner

Wishlist Behavior

When a guardian pool is selected, only Guardians from your wishlist can appear. This gives you significant control over which heroes you’ll see if the gacha rolls that category.

• Premium Banner Wishlist:
  
  • For categories like Core1 Legendaries or Gen1 Epics, you can choose a subset of those Guardians. If that category is selected, the system randomly picks from only your chosen heroes.
    
    
  • Example: If 9 total Core1 Legendary Guardians exist, but your wishlist only includes 5 of them, then hitting “Core1 Legendary” means the game picks from your 5 selected heroes.
    
    
• Standard Banner Wishlist:
  
  • Works similarly for categories like Core1 Legendary or Core1 Epic.
    
    
  • The size of your wishlist per category depends on how many guardians exist in that category, ensuring you can’t leave slots empty.
    
    

This system personalizes your pulls, letting you prioritize the Guardians you truly want.

Summon Coins & Summon Echoes

We’ve also introduced two new currencies to reward your summoning:

• Summon Coins:
  
  • Gain 1 Summon Coin per Summon Stone used, up to a max of 300 coins.
    
    
• Summon Echoes:
  
  • Gain 1 Summon Echo per Calling Crystal used, up to a max of 120 echoes.
    
    

These can be spent in a two-week rotating Summon Store, offering Guardian Shards and other items. A popup warns you if you’re close to the coin/echo cap, so you can manage resources effectively.

• Summon Echoes is a new currency and will start at 0 for all players.
• Players Current Summon coins will be clamped, from a scale of 0 to 500 to a scale or 0 to 120
• For players who have more than 400 Summon Coins, they will be refunded Summon Stones in the ratio of 10 coins to 1 stone.

Introducing Emmanuel

What better way to kick off our banner restructuring than with a brand new guardian? Emmanuel will be the featured guardian on the premium banner this week, so get your Calling Crystals ready!

Emmanuel was once a warrior who used Solas to bolster his strength. However, over time he lost his faith in community and the ability of Elderym’s people to work together towards a common goal. Because of this, he turned to Vulos, and learnt to prioritise personal power above all else. Emmanuel is a capable tank, and will protect both the Commander and the other Guardians, at least, for now…
