1The two banners

Exalted Summon

Standard · permanent

Soft 60 · Hard 80

The always-available banner — home to 17 of the 18 legendary heroes (all but Thalia Crowe, the Starter Pack exclusive), with a permanent rate-up on the Harrow sisters, Vesper & Dextra.

Exalted Summon drop rates by rarity
Legendary	1.003%
Epic	4.477%
Rare	24.875%
Common	69.645%

Solstice Festival

Event · limited

Pity 50

A seasonal festival banner — a higher legendary rate and a much shorter pity guarantee, with Cassia Arden featured. Live right now.

Solstice Festival drop rates by rarity
Legendary	3.002%
Epic	8.005%
Rare	34.023%
Common	54.970%

Rates are the per-rarity totals of the drop tables — the same figures the in-game RATES screen shows, computed by the game server's own odds code — rounded to three decimal places. On Exalted, pulls 1–59 since your last legendary give each featured hero 0.251% a pull and each other legendary 0.033%; from pull 60 every legendary's chance rises with the ramp below. On Solstice, pulls 1–49 give Cassia Arden 1.501% a pull and each other legendary 0.094%, and pull 50 is always Cassia. Neither banner holds Thalia Crowe: she comes only with the one-time Starter Pack. The full tables are on Summon odds.

2How pity works

The standard Exalted banner runs on Scheme C: a low base rate that ramps up fast once you've gone a while without a legendary, so the tension lives in a climb rather than a dead march to a counter.

Soft pity from pull 60

On Exalted, from pull 60 since your last legendary, the legendary chance rises every pull: pull 60 adds 5% of the chance the base roll misses, pull 61 adds 10%, and so on. That is 5.953% at pull 60, 55.451% at pull 70 and 95.050% at pull 78, and pull 79 is certain.

Hard guarantee

If 49 Solstice pulls in a row give no legendary, pull 50 is a guaranteed legendary. On Exalted the rising chance makes pull 79 certain, so the 80-pull guarantee is only a backstop.

Resets on any legendary

Pull a legendary — by luck, by the ramp, or by hitting the guarantee — and the counter resets to zero. There's no wasted progress.

Tracked per banner

Each banner keeps its own pity counter. Progress on Solstice doesn't carry to Exalted, and vice-versa, and when the festival ends, its count can't be used on any other banner. Solstice's rate is already high, so it has no soft ramp.

3Pull costs

**Table 3.1**What a pull costs
Action	Cost	Notes
First pull of the day, per banner	Free	single pulls only — two free pulls a day across both banners
Single pull	300 gems	or 1 Summon Ticket (Solstice also takes Solar Tickets)
10× pull	2,700 gems	10% off — ten for the price of nine
Daily shop ticket	150 gems	half the price of a 300-gem pull — best repeatable buy

4Where your gems go furthest

Take both free daily pulls. One free single per banner per day costs nothing at all — over a two-month festival run that is the largest block of free summons in the game.
Buy the 150-gem daily ticket every day. One pull for half the gem price is the most efficient repeatable spend in the game.
Pull in tens, not ones. A 10× costs 2,700 gems rather than 3,000 — a free tenth pull for the same gems.
Prefer the festival banner while it is up. Solstice runs 3.002% legendary a pull against Exalted's 1.003%, with a guaranteed legendary at pull 50 against Exalted's certain one by pull 79 — but Exalted's soft pity ramps hard from pull 60, so if you are already deep on Exalted, finish that run first.
Pull with a target in mind. Both banners have the same heroes; what differs is the rates, the pity and the featured heroes, so pick the banner whose featured heroes you actually want.

Featured rate-up is live

Each banner spotlights featured heroes with a real rate-up: each legendary you get before the guarantee has a 50% chance to be a featured hero (split evenly among them). On Solstice the guaranteed pull-50 legendary is always Cassia Arden, so she is 61.229% of all Solstice legendaries. Exalted has no featured guarantee in practice: its rising chance makes pull 79 certain, and that legendary gets the same 50% chance. Pull 80 is only a backstop; if it were ever reached, its legendary would be a featured hero. Right now the featured heroes are Vesper & Dextra Harrow on Exalted and Cassia Arden on Solstice.
