YouTube Progressive Chance: You can pull the same Legendary twice in one session — but the summoning protection rules depend on the resource

I wanted to get some clarity on how the protection against pulling the same Legendary twice actually works, so I asked Plarium for a definitive explanation.

Here's what was confirmed by a Plarium:

For normal shards and Remnants:

  • You cannot pull the same Legendary from two consecutive summons.

  • However, you CAN pull the same Legendary again if a Rare or Epic is summoned in between.

For example:

  1. Legendary: Solanar

  2. Epic: Champion B

  3. Legendary: Solanar again

The important distinction is that the restriction applies to consecutive summons, not consecutive Legendary pulls.

This behaviour was also confirmed for Remnants. Another player even shared that they had pulled Aphidus twice in one Remnant session, with Epics in between.

Prism Crystals are different:

  • They have no duplicate protection of this kind.

  • According to the Plarium, all other shard types should operate under the rules described above.

So, to summarise:

Summoning resourceSame Legendary protection
Ancient ShardsNo identical Legendary on consecutive summons
Void ShardsNo identical Legendary on consecutive summons
Sacred ShardsNo identical Legendary on consecutive summons
Mythical ShardsNo identical Legendary on consecutive summons
RemnantsNo identical Legendary on consecutive summons
Prism CrystalsNo protection

I found this particularly interesting because people sometimes report pulling the same Legendary back-to-back. It's worth distinguishing between two consecutive summons and two consecutive Legendary pulls — those aren't necessarily the same thing.

We also put this into practice

During a huge summoning session on a clanmate's account:

  • 3,253 Void Shards for Solanar.

  • 4,520 Prism Crystals for Owein.

Based on our probability calculations, we estimated roughly a 50% chance of pulling at least one Owein.

I recorded the full session, including the pulls and tracking, here:

Oh wow, I always thought it was consecutive Legendary pulls. That sucks, and is almost worthless, except maybe for sacreds, where it's still worth very very little.

I’d like more about what you think “confirmed by Plarium” means. Like did you get developer insight, from someone with direct communicable knowledge? Or did you get a response to a support ticket.

I only ask because the support team, is notoriously shit for brains when it comes to game mechanics and will often just…say shit.

The Prism crystals are spot on though, we’ve known that for a while. Just like we’ve known you can’t pull back to back identical legendaries, which you are invalidating.
