ANORA - Should You Summon? HUGE DECISION! Answer for Each Spender Type

[@nathancacnio]

That was very, very informative. Thank you Fastidious!

[@fastidious_gg]

my pleasure. was quite happy with how this vid came out

[@nathancacnio]

@@fastidious_gg I just realized, with regard to Anora's damage multiplier for allies based on summoning mechanic - I'd be interested to know if the Wailing Skull Shadow Guard would be counted as a summon - that will impact a lot of heavy hitters like Arrogance, Zilitu, etc. - what do you think? Did anyone else raise this question?

[@vincenthoogstraten783]

Thank Fastidious. I tried my luck because of this video on the Anora banner, got her in the first pull with Cerberus. Lucky Dog I am. Idril in the 3rd pull afterwards. Didn't have her yet so very happy.

[@Gus_bus1]

Great pulls!

[@GreenIT21]

Took me 200 summons…. Shouldn’t have read the comments. Ha

[@potatowizard1989]

currently have 260 summon and f2p so will try to pity manipulate the banners since the anni is giving out around 10 summons to me including gb rewards plus the diamonds from blues will atleast be 40-50, thanks for the video means alot since i wasnt following lucius.

I’m really happy you made this video. I was on the fence on who to summon and you made it clear. I’m F2P (mostly) with Kahmet A2, boreas, vierna, and more great AOE magic. Need a legendary that will actually make a difference to my account. I have 150 summons and 9k diamonds…going big this weekend

[@jasonp1552]

Got Lucius on my second gold shard summon. Made it an easy choice to go for her. Went right to the 250 mercy though. Only got an Arrogance on shard 200ish and a dupe Valeriya on 220ish. Was a very depressing 200 pulls at 0.5% to start... Thanks for the vids, Fastidious. I also appreciate the work on the tier list. I feel like we've been missing a good one like yours for too long.

[@Thugzilla90]

I like the fact that Ymirit gets a free rez from her after taking fatal damage initially. Granted he cocoons himself into an egg temporarily, which is also vulnerable.

[@fastidious_gg]

totally. next step will be pulling ymiret hahaha

[@WynTheGrey]

I blew my multi-month stockpile on Dahlia Awakenings a couple weeks ago, so I am only expecting to get one Anora. That means I will only have a handful of Divines to try for Boreas, but it is what it is. He's not required for any content so far.

[@jasonmariani1258]

She is the most beautiful/sexy hero in game lol I’m in love with pixels bit oh well hahahaha great vid Fast ty!

[@SenpaiSytama]

I also think she will be big for future content and everyone should probably try to get her. She seems like a door into a new meta, like a new era.

[@jesusreyesrodriguez5022]

So I've been doing some preliminary testing on Anora's "Agitation" skill and Praetus' lighting and her "10% to summons" from that skill stacks with his lighting. This suggests his lightings are (as his description says) summons. Wonder who else this applies to?

[@Rtype16]

Awesome Breakdown as always! Thanks!

[@fastidious_gg]

thanks for the chapters!!!

[@Gus_bus1]

For me, the 2x legendary rate on the Boreas/Lucius banner is the big kicker. Since I’m solidly in mid game, quantity of legendaries over quality of questionably future useful Anora is going to be more important for me. Getting those Deimos awakenings is huge too since he’s so tough to get - don’t remember if you mentioned that in the vid but definitely another consideration if you’re short on soul stones for him!

[@lamarh2891]

I needed to add another hot piece of A with great bewbs to my roster. So summoning was a no brainer

[@Someone-zk4ol]

Anora the winter Ajax - me pull me pull!

[@fastidious_gg]

anora is bae. tush is life

[@luebeckm]

I feel great amounts of FOMO are in my future… I see WOR dropping some crazy banner on the actual anniversary date and I will have spent all my saved summons this weekend.

[@fastidious_gg]

without any leaks i am dubious. but yea who knows

[@thepixen9348]

I think that divine x2 x15 should be also considered - I´ll try my first luck there with that few amount of crystals I have. And if I get Lucius here, I will try Anora otherwise I will be pulling for Lucius only with my 350 pulls and hope to get him (no pitty manipulation since I´m far from pitty and Anora banner isn´t x2. If I manage to get Lucius early and will have still a lot of summons left I will try Anora in the end too

[@JR-de4qf]

Thanks for the advice… I think I’m going to go for Anora but with some pitty manipulation 🤞🏻. Then use some divines to try for Boreas and Lucius! At about 342 rares ATM!

[@nightsounds8366]

I have about 560 summons, so I’m kinda torn between hitting anora and the anni banner or skip anora. I’m also end game

[@fastidious_gg]

definitely anora

[@cheapsuits1743]

If im not mistaken, the "labor" drake she summons is a spirit clone of Ymerit that he left with her as permenant protection.

[@stevelanthier1061]

what should count has a summon I think should be : a Creature summoned not an attack or ability, that have HP on its own and also stick on the battlefield or dissapear due to maybe a cooldown or whatever....

[@fastidious_gg]

Yes this makes sense and is clear. I’ll ask the devs about it :)

[@jonathanlohaller758]

Great video as always! But why is there no talk about next weekend banners (apart from the ancient) isn't that the anniversary? I am torn if I should blow all my diamonds this weekend or save some. Shouldn't there be a crazy banner for normal summons alongside the ancient?

We know nothing about them

[@Magicfighter01]

I didn’t actually want Anorna but did it for Idrill, I pulled Idrill x2, Maiden x1, Razzak, and most importantly an Pyros

[@fastidious_gg]

Massive pulls!!!

[@bshi2k58]

Honestly if you could say something to Minton about the awakening ship getting better … seriously I have 14450 epic awaking tokens and can’t spend them on hero’s because only hero’s that go into the shop NO ONE needs. Or you can’t get legendary tokens to spend on items you want. So that’s a huge disappointment. Also if a stone pops up and you don’t have the hero it would be nice if buying it could activate that hero. You can only get one per stone anyway. Also how about being able to trade 1000 epic stones for 100 legendary stones. Then it would open up more value to the players that have those extra tokens. If they could make these adjustments I think it would be way more helpful…. Lastly if you grow too quickly with legendary hero’s your options are significantly limited to upgrading the skills because of the lack of legendary skill crystals ratio vs rate you acquire legendary hero’s that is SO Annoying. It really takes the fun out of the game not being able to have a way to level up the hero’s you have been waiting for months to use after you get them… please see if you can help get a fix 🎉 Ty fasti

[@fastidious_gg]

this is covered already in my interview. u will see tomorrow

[@Cobb]

Hoping there is enough gold crystals to not have to 100% all the quests for her exclusive. Currently not going to get stage 10 on alpha or A rank on Styx quests done.

[@vellunlear4166]

Well, I probably should have pulled for Lucius, but I couldn't pass up the chance for Anora. My luck seems to be either exceptional or abysmal and it turned out on the exceptional side today as I got her at pull 102. Now to get her exclusive artifact push and for Ymiret!

[@Bitridamus]

I'm thinking I pass on Anora as I got Dahlia, and I go for Boreas, Lucius, and Deimos. 2 for GB and 1 for AoE Arena. Especially since without money I will not be able to guarantee since I'm a good 130 summons short.

[@mizanulkarim7648]

I've counted the premium currency..it does not add up to 4k, are we going to see more events to gain more premium currency? Seems like the exclusive artifact is for late game players.

[@Novazite115]

I’d always recommend pulling on guarantees, it’s a guaranteed champion that’s not coming back for a long time. There have been some exceptions like Gwendolyn and falcia however Anora is not like them.

[@shanebumpus5515]

I got Brokkir during a 10 summon under the banner at around 140 pulls then Anora on the next 10, along with 2 Idrils for Awakening

[@11Manidontcare]

Imagine you summoning on that banner and getting 3 Setrams

[@butanista8219]

I like the last part! I have a lot of “No” in the list. I only have Khamet. So I will definitely go for Anora banner. Thank you! 🥰

I've rethought my summoning session thanks to you. I'll try to hit with the devines first and then switch to Anora. Otherwise I'll skip her.. thx 😊

[@ianbinyon3654]

Great video but u missed out the fact that deimos is also on that banner. He is super rare for an epic and I've been playing since the start and do not have him yet so as a mild spender I will be going on the boreas banner as I don't have him either.

[@tannerleggett7456]

Oh man….i am so stuck. I’ve got khamet A0 and Dahlia A0 and Ajax A0 but I’m definitely stuck on GR 19s. I really think my acct is struggling because of the lack of good gear AND lack of good fighter units. I am at 225 summons available - no idea if I can get another 25 more by Monday. Oh and i totally wanted to wait and summon for Praetus but if I go for Anora I feel like I should go all out for ymirit right??

[@J80FOUR]

You can beat 19 with greed, and marri which is free. Also with eona. You just need good gear on eona

[@mikemetheny9425]

225 will be enough after the rebate from selling rates for diamonds. Between that and the events you’ll hit 250 no problem.

[@buraksahin852]

I passed gr 1-19 with greed khamet vierna and pelagios. If you have pelagios he is a very very good in gr1, very underrated hero, but as always is it comes to good gear

[@cassandranightshade696]

Hmmm, i will go for anora ofc and then see what i get till 200 or so pulls. I know imma go to 250 so I might just switch to the other banner on Friday

[@InSomnia0588]

I just got anora. I was planning on pity manipulating for tomorrow but ended up getting her on my 50th pull. Not even close to soft pity yet. Well I guess I'll go all out on the Lucius banner then. XD

[@А-ля-ю8е]

i'm almost 2 months in the game. 145 into mercy (performed 145 without leg). i just cant decide do i want to gamble on Anora or go for tomorrow. If i pull my 50 shards today i will get a leggo and a chance for anora. Which is, my guess, a slim chance. If i pull tomorrow i will have triple the chance for a good leggendary. I'm considering tomorrow, cause i already pulled 4 Apsans and kinda have had enough xD

[@Azhalan]

I'm stuck at GR1-19, so Boreas would be really great. Lucius the same for CB 2. I wouldn't mind Ares either. I guess I'll put my 400 summons into that banner.

[@danielDefoe81]

As a f2p who tried to get a leg last summon, I aint got enough resources to get anything likely this weekend. Not enough to do 250 for Anora, yet I dont have any luck in this game to get anything out of the regular summon. So...I m not sure what to do.

[@Eric10-31]

Great video FAS

[@PeteB-o9o]

Hey Fastidious, how do divine summons work with pity? Does each one count as say 10 regular summons towards pity?

[@Binzob]

No, they have a separate pity. At 12 divines without a lego you get an extra 2% chance with each additional one to get a lego. Now what this means is that you could potentially pull 50+ divines without getting a legendary. Extremely unlikely but it is possible. And that 2% extra for each summon above 12 is not doubled by a 2x event. So if you pull 20 without a lego you're at 22% chance normally and 28% chance on a 2x to get a lego.

[@airheart1]

I'm still in a pickle. As a mid spender, I WANT Anora.. just cause.. guaranteed hottie with a cool kit.. but then I feel like I have to try for Ymiret. Which I can.. and who doesn't want a kick ass dragon in their party? But, then I'm screwed out of trying for Praetus and the hammer girl in a week or two. And THAT banner will definitely push my account farther than Anora and Ymrit.. but I want the hottie and the dragon more than a fat man or a butch hammer girl lol. I need a couple hundred ancient summons that I don't have. Hell.. in all likelihood, I'm gonna burn the ancients I have and get no Ymiret anyway, so I guess it's a moot point. But why are they putting 2 killer ancient banners back to back? Aggravating.

[@SB-rp8sn]

I feel that I am in the same boat as you. Want anora because of the cool kit factor and ymiret because who doesn’t want a dragon. But logically the pope and the hammer girl will have more impact. But fun >>>>> practicalities. So anora and dragon it is!

@@lorenczak I wouldn't use the two of them together in much content. Gear raids is about it. Especially GR3 keeping someone like Idril under (almost) perma inspiration is amazing. For Guild Boss Dolores is generally better. If you're running 4 ground units Constance would be better as Dolores can only buff 3, but that's not a common team setup. Though the top global team does use Constance, they have her A5 and Laya A5 as a lord. Not something I would try to copy. In Guild Boss 2 you use one for each team. Arena you only need one, unless you have Praetus Dolores is going to be better. But Dolores is awful in GvG while Constance is amazing. Lastly in Codex I go with Constance for Conqueror and Styx, Dolores for Torrent.
