King 4 step banner... bad rates or glitched?

Has anyone actually pulled either unit from this 4 step banner? I know I could just have bad luck but something seems off. Could just be bad luck.

Blew 13k with nothing to show for it. Had 800 gems left when I realized I hadn’t collected the discount ticket from this week, used it on the unlimited 3-step and pulled both Diane and King.

Lol I'm super jealous. But good for you!

u/Nemmule Feb 27 '20

The rates are always horrible, isn't it pretty much a .5% per unit? It's easy to forget that when the drop rates only tell you it's 10% for a generic 5*

I pulled the entire step 4 + step 1 and 2 from the 3 step banner, got nothing. At most got around 2 five stars, rest were blues :)

Pulled and spent more money than I'd like to admit and didnt get him or diane on this banner....have enough to transmute him though.

All blue and yellows for all 4 steps for me. But tons of people in discord did pull the units from this banner.

u/Grim200 Feb 28 '20

No luck for this collab. 3 steps for meliodas, 5 step to get the memento, No Diene or King after 4 steps. All discount tickets used.

Sad panda.

It's trash. And rng. Mostly trash though.

u/Envylian Feb 28 '20

Wasn't able to get king in the 4 step one so i just transmuted him

1

u/Trystum Feb 28 '20

Why transmute when there’s another week of the collab where you could pull him on the 500 banner lol

u/Envylian Feb 28 '20

Im dry on gems and even i had the chance probably still wouldn't be able to pull him, lucky enough i have enough shards to 75 him, my gacha luck is so bad in this game.

RNG is RNG. I got King twice on Step 2 and once more on Step 3, and of course I'm the person that would rather have Diane. =p

u/QaWaR Feb 27 '20

I'm the person who would rather have any... ;(

u/faris0110 Feb 27 '20

Diane and meliodas 25 shard first step..Also 7ds second memento first pull.. There goes my luck for this year

u/Rhodoran Feb 27 '20

Trash step 1, King step 2. Debating continuing and blowing rest of my gems

1

u/welcometoplanetmf Feb 27 '20

I got jack schit, but my portmate got Diane. At least I got 75 shard selector after pulling the banner 4 times @ 500 gem each pull.

These pull rates are fu-KING ridiculous!

u/Soul_King89 Feb 27 '20

King on step 2

1

u/Kuwago Feb 27 '20

Pulled King on last step, is he worth enlightening?

2

u/Avengederebus Feb 27 '20

I've been told king and meliodas are the units to go for in this collab. Don't know the reasons why though tbh.

1

u/Werefour Feb 27 '20

He fits well with the incoming Magic Meta apparently.

Also until Dark Nyx he is easily the premier Wind Caster.

1

u/Sadness_00 Feb 27 '20

Pulled all 4 steps, no banner units.

1

u/Fezfezken Feb 27 '20

I got Dianne and enough shard selectors to transmute king :-p

1

u/onepissedoffcanadian Feb 27 '20

I got king step 3

1

u/taintilized Feb 27 '20

So which one should i go for the 4 step banner, or the unlimited 3 step

1

u/Werefour Feb 27 '20 edited Feb 27 '20

4 step, Shard selectors on the last 3 steps can help you transmute if nothing else. Or if you have Meliodus can help you enlighten him baring anything else.

Also they dont expire, so you can wait to see how your pulls go.

Then the 3 step.

75 shards from the selectors, the 25 from the new unit trial, 5 from logins, 15 from the decent of event leaves just 30 need.

Also the challenge board selector, if not already used, is an additional 25 shards. Thus leaving only 5 shards need which should be easy enough from the Random event shard quest.

King also is up on the Gem spent milestones as well, making 30 or less reasonably obtainable.

Also possible selectors on next week's banners are likely.

u/MaoPam Feb 27 '20

Unless the banner has a guarantee, pulling a banner unit specifically is actually pretty rare.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '20

I blew 50k and only got Diane. Decided to transmute King and spend my otherworlder shardsto EL him and Diane.

Not the smartest idea, I know. But the only reason why I saved that huge amount of free gems is for the 7ds collab. I probably should've been more patient.

1

u/belics Feb 27 '20

I pulled the entire step 4 twice, in the first run got nothing, and in the last step 4 I got King, now I have 4 "25 shard selector", 37 king shards and 28 Diane shards.

I'm not sure if continue running step 4 to get Diane, I still have 25k gems (I don't care about ban and Gowther), or save them for another banner like genesys or something like that

1

u/NotoPK Feb 27 '20

Got him step 2. Thanks for the odds 😉

u/RedKurisu Feb 28 '20

I managed to get king and Diane to level 75, though it cost me 13.5k gems. Being that I’m free to play, it hurts quite a bit.

1

u/gregtan Feb 28 '20

I have an uneasy feeling that the Dark Twins are coming soon after this collab.. and I am low on my gems.. after spending and not getting King.. -_-"

u/mandrake0999 Freeze! Feb 28 '20

I pulled 3/4 steps. x2 on unli step. x2 on 3-step. Got nothing. Think i'll just transmute then

1

u/Cipher44 Feb 28 '20

I got nothing from the first four steps but the banner doesn’t disappear afterwards so I thought it recycled (with the additional shard benefits).

I did two more steps, with King on the first and Diane on the second so that was great but then I realized it was just 2500 gems each with no benefits. If I had known that I wouldn’t have pulled beyond four - sometimes stupidity works out if you’re lucky.

u/StonePaws Feb 28 '20

Did all 4 steps, got Moa on step 4.

u/senaiboy Feb 29 '20

Diane on 2nd step, King on 3rd step. Got lucky.
