# Summoning: boxes, banners and guarantees

What each box can give, how the 100-summon guarantee, the wishlist, Stars and the weekly Featured Zodiac work, and how to choose a banner.

## Three boxes, three jobs
- Regular Lootbox (one box or 10 gems): monsters only, 80% common and 20% rare. Their rank, F to B, improves with the highest Ladder stage you have ever cleared, and you always get B or better within 10 pulls and A within 40. Ten pulls give ten heroes.
- Premium Lootbox (one box or 50 gems): where Zodiacs come from. Each summon has a 1% chance of an A-rank Zodiac; otherwise it is a B-rank rare monster. A 10+1 gives eleven.
- Chaos Lootbox (one box or 1,000 gems): 5% A-rank Zodiac, 94% B-rank rare monster and 1% Chaos Zodiac, the rarest art in the game. It has no guarantee and does not move the Premium counters.

## The 100-summon guarantee
Every Premium banner counts your summons since its last Zodiac, and the 100th is always a Zodiac. A Zodiac from a paid summon resets that banner's counter, and the bonus eleventh of a 10+1 does not count toward it. The meter on the Summon page shows how close you are.

## Choose your banner
- Zodiac Summon (all signs): every Premium Zodiac can appear. Your free daily Premium summon is here.
- Fire, Water, Air and Earth: every Zodiac result comes from that element's three signs, in both forms, and each has its own counter.
- Featured Zodiac: one Zodiac a week, changing every Monday at 00:00 UTC. When a Zodiac arrives here it is the featured one at least half the time, and after a different Zodiac your next one from this banner is guaranteed to be featured. That promise carries over to later weeks until it is used. It costs the same as Premium and shares the all-signs counter.

## Wishlist and Stars
Name up to four Zodiacs on your wishlist and a quarter of your Zodiac results on the all-signs Zodiac Summon come from it (the element and Featured banners do not use it). Every Premium summon, the bonus eleventh included, also earns a Star. Spend 150 Stars to arm a random A-rank Zodiac for your next Premium single or ten-summon, using that banner’s eligible pool. One guarantee can be armed at a time; extra Stars stay banked. Arming does not summon a hero or pay the next summon’s cost.

## A head start for new players
Until your first three Zodiacs arrive, paid Premium summons have a 5% Zodiac chance instead of 1%. The Beginner ribbon on the Premium banners shows how many you still have.

## Read the outcome before deciding its job
Check the full species and variant, its rank, its native skills and what you already own. Male and Female forms of a sign can play very different roles. A utility pull may fill a gap even if it is not your strongest attacker, and a new damage hero may be redundant if your team lacks protection or healing. Compare upgrade and sacrifice previews before consuming a unit.

## Avoid the usual gacha traps
- A lucky screenshot does not establish a rate. The rates button on the Summon page shows the real ones.
- Counters belong to banners. Switching from Fire to Water does not carry your Fire progress, though the Featured banner and the all-signs banner share one.
- The counters and Stars are the only guarantees. There is no hidden pity beyond them.
